Motorcycle events get federal funding

SYDNEY — Enterprise Cape Breton Corp. is helping two motorcycle events get their wheels under them this summer.

The crown agency has granted $100,000 to BikeFest-Thunder in the Highlands and $45,000 to the annual Harley Owner’s Group rally to help offset the costs of the events.

"The rally will attract between 1,200 and 1,400 motorcyclists and they’re coming from everywhere," said Andy Tonet, organizer of the Harley Owner’s Group rally taking place July 13-17.
