Royal Enfield & Classic Bikes Ride - 'Percy Coleman Motocycles Founded 100 Years Ago'

100 Years Ago – Day of 100 Bikes

To mark 100 years since Percy Coleman opened his first motocycle shop on Guyton Street in Wanganui on Nov 24th 1925 the NZ Royal Enfield Riders Club are hosting a one day commemorative event. In addition to modern Royal Enfield machines there will also be a mix of classic machines entered from the Pre 1984era, incl machines that the Coleman business both imported to New Zealand for the local market, and also sold via their retail outlets in Wanganui, Hamilton and Auckland.

The day begins with a motorcycle static display on Guyton Street covering the section of the street from Victoria Ave to St Hills Street from 8am to 10.30am with riders briefing at 10.25am. Participating riders will then head out of town on the ‘Waimarino Treck’ to a photo stop 1.5hrs from Wanganui, before the lunch stop at approx. 1pm-1.30pm.

There will also be a commemorative T’shirt to pre-order during the event. A max of 100 shirts or caps will be produced.
