Members of Cooma
Alpine Tourers have been actively promoting the Snowy Mountains Region as a
motorcycle destination for many years.Some of the members have been attending classic rallies throughout the
eastern states for over 40 years.Three
of the members, Ross Johnson, Neil Sharp and Owen Johnson decided that it would
be good to hold a rally in the region specifically for old Girder Fork Bikes
and so it began.The first year there
were 12 entries and most of the bikes belonged to Ross Johnson.The next year the number increased to 22 and
so on.Within 5 years the rally had an
entrant list of 50 plus bikes.Click here to read more....
