The Ross Motorcycle Rally proves, once again, that "Ross is the Boss".
Tasmania is a small island 140 miles off the bottom of Australia and for over 25 years on the last Sunday in November the Vintage Motorcycle Club of Tasmania have hosted the Ross Motorcycle Rally. A blow-out party, a bike show and a swapmeet all in one.
The bike show had riders from all across Australia bringing out there hidden treasures competing for trophies that are awarded for 16 categories ranging from sidecars to eye-poppin' choppers.

Having evolved over the years into a celebration of motorcycling in Tasmania, it is an opportunity for bikers and enthusiasts from around the state and mainland Australia to come together and share their passion. Motorcycles.
The bike show was a mind bender, there were British bikes on display that included a pristine 1925 Norton flat-tank Model 18, a 1922 Norton Brooklands Road Special (BRS, or Model 8), a loin-tingling 1938 BSA Gold Star (M24), 1933 348cc BSA Blue Star, a beautiful 1931 601cc Ariel Model 4F "Square Four".
There was an immaculate 1972 Kawasaki H2 Mach IV that had all the speed freaks creaming in their jeans. H-D's, Indian's and Triumph's were all well represented. And some damn good food and beer.
