For all motorcycle enthusiasts and riders in Mackay
Founded in 1979 in Mackay, QLD, Australia, the “British Motorcycle Owners Association” Inc brought together like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts, with a particular emphasis on British Motorcycles, which dominated the motorcycling world for a long time, without focusing on any one particular brand. The club is also open to Motorcycle owners of non-British motorcycles.
Membership
Since its inception in 1979 the membership has continually grown as members come and go based on their own life activities. Overall the club has continued to be a strong club, full of friendly, fun loving people. We are proud to continue to welcome over 100 active members.
annual Mackay bike show
Our club is an active supporter of Motorcycle enthusiasts and the sport of Motorcycle racing. Our main source of funding is via the “BMOA All Bike Show”, which has been run annually on the 4th weekend of July since 1984. It is believed to be the longest continually running bike show in Australia. As its name suggests, the “All Bike Show” is open to all motorcycles, regardless of the brand or age. At our most recent show we had 15 different categories with over 100 bikes on display.
