Win for classic motorcycle as Poole bike event returns

A cold, blustery and rainy evening saw up to 170 motorbikes pull up and enjoy the opening night of popular motorcycle event, 2019 Poole Dream Machines. 

The well-attended weekly event is organised and managed by the Tourism team at the new BCP Council, and is sponsored this year by Coles Miller Solicitors LLP.

Dream Machines is the largest weekly motorcycle meet in the South, taking place every Tuesday evening from 6pm, April – September. From the latest superbikes and custom builds to vintage classics and trikes, the quay and harbour offer the perfect backdrop for showing off a superb range of motorbikes where bikers and spectators enjoy a unique relaxed atmosphere. With a great selection of waterside cafés, bars, restaurants and food kiosks, it is also the perfect place to relax and have a bite to eat while enjoying the event.

Congratulations to Raymond Carter from Poole who won the weekly ‘Bike of the Night’ title with his Royal Enfield 2001. Raymond said: “Owning my own Enfield has been a lifelong ambition and I feel proud to have won!” He rode home with the special prize of bike cleaning kit courtesy of Muc-Off Ltd.

Judge for the evening was Adrian Cormack of event sponsors Coles Miller solicitors, who was supported by his daughter Bronte. He said: “I awarded the prize to the Royal Enfield because it is a beautiful machine with a classic shape, and in perfect condition.”

For avid bikers, season armbands are on sale from the Poole Tourist Information Centre within Poole Museum, the Lord Nelson or the Fish and Chip kiosk. Armbands give access to the whole season for £8.
