By The Cessnock, New South Wales based Postie Bike Grand Prix, in my opinion reminiscent of Spain’s famous La Baneza meeting is at present Australia’s only event to hold competitive real roads action.
Run since 2014, this weekend marked the fourth running of the event organised by the Cessnock Motorcycle Club.
