US motocross and supercross legend, Broc Glover, will make a special appearance for Yamaha Motor Australia at the upcoming Classic Dirt Motocross event at Conondale on 10-12 June.

Glover, an icon of the sport with six AMA motocross championships to his credit, will head down under and be the special guest of Yamaha Australia at the event that relives a golden era of dirt bikes from the 1970’s and 1980’s.

“It is an honour to be asked to attend an event like Classic Dirt and for my name to be still recogniseable after all these years,” said Glover. “I have heard great things about the event and look forward to the weekend in Australia and spend it with people who are passionate about dirt bikes and helped to make my career so special.

“The late 70’s and early 80s were such a strong era for dirt bikes around the world so it will be pretty humbling to relive some of those times with my fellow riders at Classic Dirt.”

This isn’t the first trip to Australia for the popular US rider, as he was a semi regular visitor during his racing days highlighted with a supercross event victory when in Brisbane during the twilight of his career.

“I have fond memories of my time in Australia and especially around the South East Queensland area,” he added. “The people treated me well, I had a great night racing and even won wearing pink gear. I might see if I still have a set of that gear and bring it with me for old time’s sake.”

Glover will be alongside a host on domestic legends of the sport including Stephen Gall, Craig Dack, Mike Landman, David Armstrong, James Deakin plus a few more international guests still to be announced.
