he Committee for the Bendigo Motorcycle Expo 2011 would like to invite you to the upcoming Motorcycle Expo to be held in Bendigo, Central Victoria at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds Exhibition Building and Oval. The event will be held on Saturday the 19^th and Sunday the 20^th of March 2011.

This is the second such event to be held in Central Victoria, and is an opportunity to further increase your local business and exposure. At this stage we the Bendigo Motorcycle Expo Inc (BME) are in the planning and organising stage of the event, and we are inviting businesses and manufacturers both local and mainstream to come on board and take the opportunity to display their product to a large number of people that are interested in viewing and purchasing motorcycles/scooters for both on and off road.

We have opted for an Autumn Expo to get away from the spring rush of motorcycle events. Autumn weather tends to be more predictable and this period is after the Christmas/New Year and the kids back to school expenditures. We feel that your company will only benefit from the exposure of a professionally organised Expo in a location that is central to a large catchment area.

The Bendigo Exhibition Centre is located at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds less than 3kms from the Central Business District. Bendigo is conveniently located in the geographic centre of Victoria, situated at the junction of the Calder, Mclvor, Midland and Loddon Valley Highways. Bendigo has excellent connections to other interstate highways, placing more than 90 per cent of the state's population within a two hour drive. Bendigo is serviced by high quality road, and rail links making it truly accessible to a vast number of potential buyers and motorcycle enthusiasts.

We feel this is a unique opportunity as there is no other Expo of this kind outside of a major city. It is anticipated that the Expo will feature the major manufacturers of on and off road motorcycle i.e. Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Harley Davidson, Suzuki, Triumph etc, also the smaller motorcycle manufacturers, scooter manufacturers, leather goods, customised parts manufacturers after market suppliers, airbrush artists, motorcycle trailer manufacturers, finance and banking advisers, insurance representatives, pins and badges, memorabilia, basically if it has anything to do with motorcycles of any description it will be there.

The 2011 Expo will be bigger in that we will have an outside and inside area available. We are including a Show and Shine for both male and female bikers. The outside area will also lend itself to a motorcycle ONLY swap meet. Camper trailer Exhibitors will find the grassed area more suitable.

“An event for the whole family”
