Bike Fest Oz! 2023 is a motorcycle festival to be held in and around the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast from June 7 to June 11 this year.
“We are delighted to confirm that Dr Charlie Teo has agreed to be the event’s official patron,” Mr Beattie said.
“The internationally respected, high-profile neurosurgeon is also a very enthusiastic and experienced motorcyclist and he will be riding during the five-day event, including leading the opening Head to the Heads Ride from Chinderah to Brunswick Heads.
“Charlie has been riding bikes since he was a young medical student, and his passion is all about getting out on the road and leaving the pressures of his very cutting-edge medical career behind and simply enjoying being in the saddle and the freedom and excitement of being on a bike.”
In other developments, Bike Fest Oz! organisers have released their detailed official schedule of events via: www.bikefestoz.com.au.
Mr Beattie told The Weekly that the three-day motorcycle festival will host a warm up on Saturday, April 22, at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel.
The warm up will by headlined by popular Byron Bay-based band The Feramones, which boasts internationally acclaimed career musicians such as Rick Fenn, founding and current 10cc member; founder of the London Guitar Institute, Alan Limbrick; keyboardist and musician to the stars Alan Park; and talented and versatile lead singer and Kingscliff local, Col Germano.
“It’s been an extremely busy time reaching out to a lot of great people on the Gold Coast and around northern NSW, but to use a musical analogy, the tempo is really starting to build for the inaugural Bike Fest Oz!” Mr Beattie said.
