2015 Easter Broadford Bike Bonanza
This year's instalment focus on Bathurst, celebrating its inception at Mount Panorama in 1938 through to the Easter meetings in 1988A reminder about the 2015 Penrite Broadford Bike Bonanza (BBB), which will be held on the Easter weekend of April 4-5 at the State Motorcycle Complex in Broadford (Vic).
The BBB is as non-competitive celebration of all motorcycle racing disciplines, and the seventh running of the event will focus on Bathurst, from racing commencing at Mt Panorama in 1938 right through to 1988.
Two bikes from National Motor Racing Museum at Mount Panorama, a Henderson Matchless and Sandy McCrae's Vincent, will make it to Broadford on April 4-5. The iconic Rickman Metisse will also be featured at the event.
At the gala dinner on Saturday evening, MC Alan Cathcart will interview the top three from the 1979 Bathurst Unlimited Grand Prix: Ron Boulden, Graeme Crosby and John Woodley.
Woodley’s performance was even more amazing considering he was aboard a 500cc Suzuki, giving away 250cc to the 750s ahead of him. Nevertheless he came within a whisker of causing a major upset. Boulden made the transition from his 350cc Yamaha to the new Warren Willing-tuned 750 with ease, and went on to score three straight Senior GP wins at Bathurst on the Toshiba Yamaha team TZ500. For Crosby, the 1979 Bathurst race was where he clearly demonstrated his ability to handle big two-strokes after cutting his teeth on production bikes.
