The third annual Arthur Grady ride-out was held in Fremantle on Saturday 1st June 2013. The ride-out celebrates the first round Australia motorcycle trip by Arthur Grady in 1924. Arthur's trip started and finished in the Fremantle and took five months.
The ride-out starts with a display of vintage motorcycles at the Fremantle Town Hall, followed by a ride through the port city. It's not all about vintage bikes though. Numerous motorcycle clubs also attend and, as it now forms part of the Festival of Fremantle, it draws a very big crowd.

I was captured on arrival by a photographer from the Vintage Motorcycle Club.
As the Ariel has been off the road for some time with a blown ring I took the Troll. It was pretty much the only scooter in attendance but still drew a crowd
Not quite a motorcycle - a Morgan three wheeler
The Arthur Grady Rideout received a write up in Old Bike Australia and the Troll got a mention.
