Spoke Motorcycle Festival was born out of a love of motorcycles, but even more so, the love of the motorcycle lifestyle. Friendships born from a common interest. If you have nothing at all in common, but you ride a motorbike, then you automatically have an understanding of what it's like to connect with life through riding on two wheels.
Brett went to a motorcycle information evening in Launceston, Tasmania, at a local motorcycle company. About 40 people having a few beers sharing their passion and stories of their motorbikes and their two-wheeled adventures. "I thought, there has got to be more of this. It's not just the motorcycle conversations, but it's just bloody good mental health. A group of people connecting through their common passion. Leaving their day-to-day behind to spend time with like-minded people and creating new friendships."
It's called Spoke not just because of the obvious, the spoke of the motorcycle wheel, but also because of the spoke'n word. Conversations had between old friends, new friends, or family about your bike, your race, your next motorcycle adventure, or the next motorbike you're dreaming of getting. It's the community, and Spoke brings that community together to share moments through a common interest. It's more than just an event.
