Motorcycles old and new took over the streets of Albany last weekend, as the Albany Vintage and Classic Motorcycle Club hosted their annual hill climb weekend.
During Albany’s biggest weekend for motorcycle enthusiasts, Stirling Terrace was shut to traffic on Saturday as more than 300 bikes were put on display for the community.
Stirling Terrace was bustling all morning, despite overcast weather and rain later in the day, as riders and enthusiasts took the opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new people and see a range of motorcycles.

There were motorcycles of all brands and vintages on display, from early 1900s collectibles to the latest off the showroom floor.

Live music and hospitality from Stirling Terrace cafes and businesses helped keep the energy high all morning as people walked up and down the terrace to get a closer look at some of the top bikes on display, and chat to some of their owners.
The classic hill climb time trial up Mt Clarence on Sunday drew a healthy crowd of both participants and spectators to Middleton Beach, as riders tackled the steep descent.
Places in the time trial were limited to 100 riders, and the rain held off for everyone to get a run up the hillside.
Josh Hoskings won best presented motorcycle with his 1958 BSA Gold Star 500cc DB 34.
