Nelson Tasman
Motorcycle Festival
Two days of adventure riding at its best.
KMC are working with Nelson City council and Tasman District council to host an event for both Adventure Bikes and Road bikes that both showcases our region to visitors, and also allows local Adventure riders to enjoy access to a variety of off road trails that would not normally be available. Road bikers will be catered for with 2 days of scenic roads throughout Nelson and Tasman while taking part in Poker runs and mini events individually or in teams of 4.
NEW DATES!!
The festival will be held on Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th of May culminating in an evening prize giving in Nelson
In this first year we hope to attract 50 Adventure bike riders and 50 road bike riders. Being located in the middle of New Zealand we hope to attract a number of riders from outside of the region.
Each bike will need to be vetted by local motorcycle shops leading up to the event and stickered with sponsors logos to verify their participation.
