GASTOWN UPDATE

Gastown, Sunday, August 20th had to be the best public relations day in the motorcycling history of this province. The weather was perfect and the 2nd Annual Gastown Motorcycle Show n' Shine was an incredible success. There were over 150 bikes entered in the show n' shine and police estimated somewhere between 80-100,000 people passed through over the course of the day. I was so proud and excited to have been a part of something so awesome!

Here are a few cool shots from the show courtesy of Craig Heale & Greg Descantes Photography.

The Felions were there selling their calendars in between fashion shows.

Here is the excellent feedback we received from the GBIS....

Dear Adele and Shannon,

On behalf of the Gastown Business Improvement Society I would like to congratulate BCCOM on an outstanding event. This year’s Gastown Motorcycle Show n Shine was a spectacular success, an accomplishment that could not have been achieved without your excellent organizational skills and the outstanding support of the manufacturers, dealers and participants. We are proud to be partners in this event which has attracted praise across the city including Vancouver City Hall and the Vancouver Police Department.


We strongly believe that Gastown is the perfect venue for this celebration of style, ingenuity and engineering in motorcycles and that this event offers an opportunity to introduce this exciting activity and lifestyle to the general public.


We wish to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners and the many volunteers for your part in making this event such a success. We hope you enjoyed this year’s Gastown Show n Shine and look forward to working with you again next year.

Best Regards,

Leanore Sali
Gastown Business Improvement Society
