“The motorcycle industry has become such a big part of my life and work over the years so I am excited to be able to share my experiences with visitors to the Sydney Motorcycle Show,” Vickers said.

“I love getting out on the road to clear my head or beat the traffic, no matter whether I’m on a sports bike or cruiser. No other form of transport makes me want to take the long way home! Sydney is such a fantastic city to ride in year-round because of our beautiful surrounds and weather.

“I look forward to connecting with fellow riders, sharing my experiences from my last 12 years as a rider, handing on any useful advice for beginners and having a good chat with visitors to the show,” Vickers added.

Moto loving social media sensations the Throttle Dolls will also be bringing their adventures to the stage, sharing their passion for retro, unique and vintage bikes as well as tips and travel advice.
