ARTHUR’S CINEMA: Movie night will occur in 2021 on Monday evening the 1st February – book your seat for a fun night viewing “Easy Rider”, the motorcycle classic that got baby boomers into motorcycling.
HIGHLANDS RIDE: A visit Highlands Motorsport Park NZ will be one of the highlights at this world class facility. We are very fortunate that for $35 per single, $50 with pillion you get to ride TWO complete laps of the track under CONTROLLED conditions AND visit the Motorsport Museum. This will occur from 5:00pm to 6:30pm on the evening of Tuesday 2nd February. If you want to go Go-Karting, we suggest you book a time before 5:00 by using their online booking facility. Riding a motorcycle around Highlands is exclusive to Bike Week and not normally permitted.
