Penang ready to welcome 1,500 superbikers
PENANG will host a mammoth motorcade of 1,500 superbikers from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand in a tri-nation superbikers rally next month.
State Youth, Sports, Women, Family and Community Develop-ment Committee chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi said the bikers would rally in Singapore before starting their journey to Penang, and then to Thailand.
She said the bikers, who would be in Penang from June 25 to June 27, would stay at a hotel in Tanjung Bungah.
During their visit to Penang, the bikers will also head for Butterworth via ferry for a programme at Seberang Jaya Carrefour before returning to their hotel using the Penang Bridge, Ong said in a press conference held to announce the annual Penang Youth Carnival 2010.
Ong said the Penang-based Mega Fortune Bikers Club, which would be organising the rally, had conducted a similar event called, Three-Nation Charity Ride 2009, involving about 800 bikers last September.
The Penang Youth Carnival, which will be held at the Auto-City in Juru this Saturday, will showcase about 30 of the latest superbikes available.
Ong said that apart from the motorcycle show, there would also be demonstrations by eight pocket bike owners and four ATV (all terrain vehicles).
Other events at the carnival, which will start from 10am to 10pm, include a BMX bicycle demonstration as well as games such as paintball, street soccer and sepak takraw.
