After two years away due to COVID, the Shannons Insurance Broadford Bike Bonanza is back in 2022 and the iconic Kawasaki Z1 will be a focus of this year’s event on 16 and 17 April (Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday).
Organisers of this year’s Shannons Insurance Broadford Bike Bonanza (SIBBB) are inviting owners of all Z models from the ’70s and early ’80s to be part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations for the Z1, with a highway run to Broadford and off-track display planned, but still to be confirmed at time of writing.
A secondary focus this year will be on classic British scramblers, with a special scrambles track being laid out on site to suit older bikes - and older riders!
Beyond the Z celebrations and Brit scramblers, the 2022 SIBBB will feature the usual attractions, with all circuits at the State Motorcycle Sports Complex open for non-competitive riding of pre-1995 motorcycles, as well as trade stands, a swap meet, on-site camping and the popular Gala Dinner.
Key changes to the 2022 SIBBB start with the requirement for all attendees – participants, volunteers and spectators - to be double vaccinated against COVID-19 and required to show proof of their double vax status on entry.
All ticket sales, for participants and public alike, will be via online pre-sale only, with no tickets available at the gate. Entries for participants close on Monday, 4 April, and all ticket holders will be required to print a copy of their ticket and present it at the gate for entry.
Finally, the 2022 SIBBB will be a two-day event only, dropping the Good Friday lead-in from previous years.
Spectator entry prices start at $40/day for adults and $30/day concession, with kids under 16 admitted free (but still required to prove vaccination status). Participant entry starts at $50 for trials, $70 for MX, speedway and combined trials/enduro, and $110 for road race. Entering additional bikes in the same discipline attracts additional fees and a one-event MA licence is required.
