Bikers claim record in Goondiwindi

A NEW world record for the most number of motorcyclists through a museum has been claimed in Goondiwindi.

Twenty-seven riders rode their way into the record books over the June long weekend.

President of the Customs House Committee, David McMahon, said as proof of a world record each rider was photographed as they rounded a witch's hat placed within the grounds.

Mr McMahon said he wanted to thank each and every rider that turned up, some coming from coastal northern New South Wales, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gilgandra, Narrabri, Moree and Goondiwindi.

"It shows that motorcyclists are a loyal bunch of people that aren't afraid to travel to experience different places and events and this turnout proves the point," he said.

"Next year we are aiming a lot higher, we hope we can get over 100 perhaps even one 150, and fill the streets surrounding the Customs House with motorcyclists from near and far.

"This event will grow over the years as more and more motorcyclists join in the fun of setting a world record."
