TheBEAR Rally & Motorcycle Expo takes place from 19 to 21 February 2016 at the show grounds in Swellendam, Western Cape.
Besides being a rally, the event will provide a unique platform to showcase the motorcycles, accessories, clothing, equipment, after-market products, travel and touring opportunities, as well as the unique lifestyle and the appreciation of the environment, that motorcycling offers.
The Organisers are launching this, the inaugural BEAR Rally, as an annual event, to celebrate the history and development of motorcycles in the ‘West’.BEAR is the acronym for British, European, American Racing. BEAR was first formed by the late great John Britten and friends in Christchurch, New Zealand in the early 1980's. This group of enthusiastic motorcycle riders did not fit the social or racing classes available at the time, on their Triumphs, Norton’s & BSA's. The BEAR movement grew rapidly, appealing to all Non-Japanese motorcycle riders.
