Kathy and I had a great day at the Grand Opening of Morgan & Wacker's new Sydney Harley Dealership at Auburn. There were lots of bikes on show, plenty of people checking them out and the showroom was packed with Harley goodness! More pics and video in Killer Rides No.69!

Shout out to those owners of custom bikes. I have had one bike spot become available for Killer Rides Live next weekend (Aug 10/11) in the Illawarra Hockey Centre. Shoot me a message with a pic if you're keen! Pic for attention...

You don't want to miss this one!

I have two 3x3m trade stand spots available for Killer Rides Live in the Illawarra Hockey Centre, Unanderra (Wollongong) August 10/11. Who is interested in grabbing one or maybe a 6x3m? DM me for details and pricing...

Very sad news today with the passing of one of the most friendly, genuine and great guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Nick drove Shannon's Big Rig for many years and travelled the country promoting Shannon's brand at events almost every weekend. We forged a relationship many years ago and whenever we were at an event where the Big Rig was in attendance, you'd always find a smiling Nick on board ready to greet everyone. I'm going to miss that big smile and infectious laugh the most! Anyone who ever met Nick will no doubt be missing him, and reliving fun times and memories today. Rest in Peace old mate. Until our paths cross once more...

I've decided to add some custom bikes to Killer Rides Live #6 to celebrate the heritage of the event in its 30th year. Bikes have played a big part of the show since its inception in 1994, so expect to see some of the best on show at Killer Rides Live #6. It all happens August 10/11 inside the Illawarra Hockey Centre. More info at www.killerrides.com.au

Seeing all these posts on my feed about the 2024 Hot Rod Power Tour makes me want to try again with the Killer Rides Road Trip. Who would be up for a 3-day cruise in 2025, kicking off in Wollongong? Even if we only get 20 cars keen to go, let's make it happen. Email me at [email protected] to register your interest.

Hey everyone! I constantly get asked about where to find out about events. People not on social media will never see posts about events. So each month, I will post a list of upcoming events not only on my social media pages but also on the Killer Rides website - www.killerrides.com.au Feel free to share it around! If you have an event coming up, please DM or email me the details ([email protected]) and I'll add it to next month's list. The more people we can get to events, the better the scene will be.

Just a reminder guys. Get on to it before it's too late!

Do you have a car in the build that you want to show off? Each year at Killer Rides Live, I have three or four cars that are partially built to show spectators what goes into the construction of a custom car. This always goes down a treat and we offer a Peoples Choice Best Project Car award. Killer Rides Live is on Aug 10/11 inside the Illawarra Hockey Centre, Unanderra (Wollongong). Message me with what you have and I'll get back to you. www.killerrides.com.au

Two years ago, we lost an iconic figure in the car scene - Jim Broadley. As the owner of Diablo Motors, Jim was responsible for getting the high-performance automotive industry to a higher level with an amazing wealth of knowledge, and a range of parts to help both the street and strip guys, as well as the performance boat guys that he was a big part of. Jim was a mate to everyone, from the local kid who needed a carby kit to the big guns in the industry worldwide. I doubt we will ever see anyone like Jim again. My heart goes out to Rebecca and Coralie who miss him more than anyone. I reckon everyone has a "Jim Broadley" story and remembering those great times will help us all have a smile on such a sad occasion. I guess we can gain comfort in the knowledge that he is in a better place now, spending time with his mates who have passed on as well. I can only imagine the mischief they are getting up to once again. RIP Jim.

I'm very happy to announce that Heavy Duty Magazine has joined the Hot Rod & Harley Expo as a Media Partner. Heavy Duty magazine has been a favourite amongst bikers for many many years and continues to bring high-quality features each and every month. Having the team at Heavy Duty magazine involved with the Hot Rod & Harley Expo is very pleasing! For more information, check out the webpage at www.pscmag.com.au/hot-rod-harley-show

I think it's pretty obvious that car events planned for 2021 are on shaky grounds right now. So I've made the hard decision to postpone the Hot Rod & Harley Expo till 2022. Here's hoping next year kicks off much better than this one and all of my events can happen. Stay tuned for new dates. Damn you Covid19!!!!
