WA Veteran Motorcycle Rally 2021

Western Australia was set to host the (Australian) National Veteran Motorcycle Rally for 2021; that was until the CV19 Delta variant hit. But there was so much enthusiasm for the rally within the local motorcycle community that organisers went ahead with the event as the WA Veteran Motorcycle Rally. This video covers the start of the rally, which was based in Manjimup, with footage of some amazing and rare veteran (pre-1919) motorcycles being ridden through the heart of WA's Karri forests in the south west. Take a spirited ride with Hamish Cowan on his immaculate 1913 Indian 'f-head' twin through the meandering and undulating roads between Northcliffe and Pemberton. See how local rider Peter Lawson keeps fit starting his 1910 Norton 500 and listen to the sound of veteran motorcycles as they work their way through the forests at pace. The rally was a great success, fuelling interest in veteran bikes, and will now become an annual event. The video was produced by Des Lewis of Mondo Photography.
