Young and old assemble for the Classic Weekend

Get on down for a weekend of vintage dirt bikes at at Conondale’s Green Park over three days.

The event includes dirt bike riding, a show and shine, trade, food and bar stalls, live music, five riding tracks, and a huge raffle including a motorbike up for grabs.

Not many events offer free reign over arguably the best natural terrain moto park in Australia, especially for pre-1995 riding enthusiasts.

The TeamMoto Classic Weekend presented by Motul, now in its second year at Green Park in Conondale on Sunshine Coast, will host hundreds of riders across five tracks on June 11-13.

The vintage event is a non-competition, recreational ride so you can ride as many laps or as little as you like across the five tracks! Shannon’s will be hosting the Pre-78 MX track, with a second “open” MX track for all pre-95 bikes, plus a vinduro loop, trials area and popular grass track for riding Saturday and Sunday.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy or sell your bikes in the Carmart bike yard or grab some riding gear from the many trade stalls operating Saturday and Sunday.

Young Henrys will be serving the people each afternoon and into the evening with the finest beverages, and hosting a live band on Saturday night. The Sunshine Coast Historical Bike Society with a display too.

Among the riders will be Jeff Leisk, who in 1988 won all three classes (125cc, 250cc and 500cc) at the Australian MX Championships, was the first Australian to win a 500cc MX GP in Finland in 1993, made it to multiple AMA supercross podiums, won the Paris Supercross winner in 1990 and came second the World Supercross in 1990.

Jeff said, “I never kept anything from my racing career, but recently I purchased a 1984 CR500, which was a bike I previously rode and will be bringing to ride at Classic Weekend.“

“I also bought a 1990 HRC CR500 replica of the 1990 championship bike, which I’m restoring at the moment and will be on display TeamMoto tent.

“I can’t wait to ride Green Park again and catch up with everyone. I’ve joined forces with the TeamMoto group and am looking forward to helping get more riders on the two-wheels in the future.”

TeamMoto Kawasaki Maroochydore and TeamMoto Yamaha Sunshine Coast will be onsite all weekend with a range of motorbikes, parts and accessories, if you have any specific parts please call the shops in advance and they can bring it for collection at Green Park.
