Throttle Roll 2014

Overview

Throttle Roll is an annual celebration of all things custom motorbike culture. And apparently when you're rocking around the clock, time speeds by pretty fast, because it's that time again. In the best rockabilly getup they can muster, bike enthusiasts will head to The Vic in Enmore on Saturday, May 10, for Throttle Roll. And with a family- and pet-friendly vibe, this event is firmly on the cuddlier side of motorbike culture.

It'll be kicking off first thing on Saturday for the riders, who can meet at 8.30am along Princess Highway, Tempe for a ride south to Stanwell Tops and back in time for The Vic's festivities at noon. With roots and rockabilly music provided by Pat Capocci, The Drey Rollan Band, Papa Pilko & The Bin Rats, The Tequila Twins, Big Blind Ray Trio and a handful more — and with more than 70 bikes on display — Throttle Roll is the largest festival of its kind in the country.

Sunday will see the Australian film premiere of Why We Ride and the latest from Stories of Bike from 7pm, while the bikes stay on display all weekend. A spit roast will keep everyone's engines running high over the two days.
