Get ready for a thrilling spectacle as twenty-two members of the Uganda Bikers Association (UBA) embark on an epic journey from Kampala to Nairobi to participate in the Golden Jubilee of the Africa Concours d'Elegance.
Organized by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, the Concours d'Elegance is the classiest motor sport event in Kenya, recognized and sanctioned by FIM Africa since 2006. The event will be held at the Nairobi Racecourse on September 27th.
The Concours d'Elegance is a prestigious event that showcases classic and vintage cars and motorcycles. This year, the motorcycle section is open to bikes made in 2015 or earlier, which will be judged in street, enduro, and competition categories depending on their engine size and age.
For over ten years, the UBA members have added to the fun and excitement of the event. Dressed in their black and red riding gear, they are a favourite with crowds who cheer them along the way before making a grand entrance into Nairobi two days before the Concours.
The team will be led by Edgar Mbabazi, the President of the UBA, on his 1200cc Honda Goldwing made in 1986. Lady biker Angella Ssemukutu, who is also the Vice President, will be returning with her 2013 Suzuki GSXR, having made her debut last year.
