| Poole Quay- a great night out |
Organised by Poole Tourism, the friendly meet regularly draws over 1000 riders from across the UK for 26 weeks of classic ride outs. From the latest superbikes and custom builds to vintage classics and trikes, the Quay and Harbour offer the perfect location to show off a superb range of motorbikes where bikers and spectators enjoy a unique relaxed atmosphere. And with a great selection of waterside cafes, bars, restaurants and food kiosks to enjoy during the event, it is the perfect place to relax and have a bite to eat.
Attended by novices and enthusiasts, fans include comedian and biker Ross Noble who visited the event in 2014 for Freewheeling, his random Twitter-powered anti-travelogue inspired by suggestions from his 500k twitter followers. The new series currently showing on Dave features his visit to Poole Dream Machines on 14 April at 10pm.
Dream Machines kicks off Poole’s Wave 105 Summertime in the South, a massive programme of events in the town from April to November. During Dream Machines, Poole Quay is closed off to all traffic, except motorbikes, creating a truly spectacular display for visitors.
Poole Dream Machines is a fully marshalled event with a £1 entry charge. Bike enthusiasts can purchase a season armband for £8.50 on the Tuesday event nights, which includes a £1 non refundable entry fee, or £7.50 in advance. Armbands are limited and available from the Welcome Centre on Poole Quay.
The weekly “Bike of the Night” competition sees different judges pick out their personal favourite each week, Mayor Cllr Peter Adams will be judging the first night. The winning owner will receive a race kit courtesy of Muc-off. All weekly winners will also get invited back to take part in the “Bike of the Year” finale on Tuesday 29 September.
Dream Machines is a self-funding event and any surplus income after costs have been paid is donated to local charities nominated by the volunteer Marshalls normally at the Bike of the Year event, on the final night of the season.
Bruce Grant-Braham, Chairman of the Poole Tourism Partnership, said; “Dream Machines is a huge part of Poole’s packed summer events programme, attracting thousands of people to the Quay throughout the season. The bikes on display are the pride and joy of their owners and their enthusiasm creates a superb spectacle and relaxed atmosphere that has become a real part of Poole’s heritage.”
Anyone with a few hours to spare who is interested in helping out at the event as a Marshall, please contact Anne Simpson on 07973 474050.
