Walcha, in the northern tablelands of NSW, hosted a bike rally in November of 2021. That’s not big news. The big news was the Armidale Adventure Riders Facebook group offering a few rides for the dualsport brigade. Adventure Rider Magazine lobbed up to see how things went.
Sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable to be around bikie types with chapter titles and embroidered badges all over
their leather jackets, but at the Walcha Motorcycle Rally everyone seemed to get on just fine. Beautifully restored bikes, show bikes, rat bikes and Urals all sat side-by-side in the showground near the centre of town, and a friendly spirit was everywhere.
