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."

So Brett went to work creating Spoke Motorcycle Festival. With the idea of providing a platform for motorcyclists to connect, share their stories, their bikes, enjoy some light hearted racing and introduce their family and friends to the love of motorcycles and the motorcycle lifestyle. It was a couple of months into the creation of the event that Brett came across The Malle Mile. It was like two blokes on the other side of the world had already created what Brett was dreaming up! Bloody brilliant he thought. Brett reached out to Robert and Jonny who responded offering support and encouragement for the event set to get underway on the East Coast of Tasmania in 2022.

Tasmania, Australia is the perfect backdrop for this festival, with some of the worlds best motorbike roads, be it tarmac, gravel roads or completely off the beaten track. We have something for everyone. The Festival is set on one of the East Coasts beautiful beaches, equal to any coastline in the world. The perfect setting for enjoying some great motorcycling fun and then wind down of an evening with some great Tassie food, wine, beer and music whilst chatting with new found and old friends about the days adventures.

Brett spoke to many, many people about the festivals, individuals, companies, groups and associations. It wasn't long before Brett came across Josh from Hard Enduro Adventures Tasmania (HEAT). After a few conversations and a common interest, Josh was onboard. We're lucky to have HEAT running the Enduro event at the festival. Festival attendees will be able to see some of the Enduro track right on the festival grounds.
