The Beaver Rally is back for its 47th anniversary, bringing motorcycle riders together at Bike Forge in Tulbagh from Friday, 6 November to Sunday, 8 November 2026.
Organised by the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club, the rally is a private event for registered participants rather than a gathering open to the general public.
Entry costs R250 per person, with the site opening from 13:00 on Friday.
- Saturday brings more than bikes and campsite conversation. Live music forms part of the programme, the Springbok rugby game will be shown on TV, and a lucky draw takes place on Saturday evening.
Those camping should arrive prepared with their own motorcycle, tent, mug and sleeping gear. Camping sites are available, although there is no electricity.
Riders who would rather leave the tent setup to someone else can hire a tent for R690 per tent per night, or R1,300 for two nights. Each hired tent sleeps two people and includes bedding. Numbers are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. Tent bookings can be arranged with Toni on 083 520 8000 or by emailing bikeforgetulbagh@gmail.com.
