Veterans Tour of South Africa

Bobby's Stock of Bikes

We've been contacted by Bobby Hack who is hoping to arrange a veterans tour on South Africa later this year. Bobby said:

I am attempting to revive speedway in South Africa and would like to stage a "Speedway Legends" tour.

There are many dirt ovals around the country used for Stock Car racing and all in good shape. I have built up a collection of older bikes, all race-ready, and was hoping to entice at least 12 veteran riders to visit SA and ride a few demo races.

The supporting events would be Bike and Quad flat track.

The tour would start in Cape Town and from there to the Garden route - George, Outshoorn and Port Elizabeth then on to Natal and finishing in Johannesburg .

The tour would take 5 weeks and all flights, transport, accommodation and meals will be sponsored. It would be a great working holiday for the riders with lots of time between events to experience the many facets of South Africa.

I am looking for overseas contacts who may be able to put me in touch with retired riders who can still ride and would like to take part in a fun tour. I am planning do this in August or September this year.
