With The Machine Show a month away, our competition build is starting to take shape. Gasoline Motor Co. will be up against some of Australia's most passionate motorcycle builders, to completely rebuild a pre-1989 classic motorcycle for the competition.

Oh, is that a freshly powder-coated frame, with a custom designed rear hoop? Dam straight.
Freshly Vapor(hydro)-Blasted engine casings along with a ton of powder coating, we are ready to assemble the engine and wheel components.

Using the most innovative gear available on the market for a modern ride. Berringer brake system, custom made cabling, Purpose Built Moto headlight, Moto Gadget speedometer and switch components and last but not least, a Kellermann indicator lighting package.
Don't miss this years Machine Show in Braidwood. This motorcycle, along with 20 other pre-1989s era machines will be in the running for the Machine Show build competition. What started as a friendly rivalry between motorcycle builders around town, has, over 3 years, grown into a great motorcycling community get-together. Everyone is invited along for the ride down to Braidwood – a weekend of camping, live music, food trucks and booze.
