Bike fest was great
While the planned mass motorcycle ride was cancelled last Sunday – although a few hundred bikers did the out ride – due to the slippery road conditions, it failed to put a dampener on South Coast Bike Fest.
So far all reports about the event have been positive. One of the headline acts also pulled out at the last minute but those who did perform treated their fans to fabulous music.
