Monthly Coffee and Motorcycles meet up - 8:00 am First Sunday of every month Zen Motorcycles Sydney

If you're a motorcycle enthusiast, you've probably heard about the Zen Motorcycles Monthly Meetup, better known as "Bikes and Beans." This unique gathering has been bringing riders from all walks of life together to celebrate their shared passion for two-wheeled machines, the open road, and, of course, coffee. In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey through the world of Bikes and Beans, exploring what makes this meetup so special and why it's a must-attend event for any motorcycle lover.


The Birth of Bikes and Beans

Bikes and Beans was born out of a simple idea: to create a space where motorcycle enthusiasts could come together to connect, share their experiences, and enjoy a good cup of coffee. As the event gained popularity, it evolved into a monthly gathering that now draws participants from various corners of the motorcycle world.


The Venue - Zen Motorcycles

One of the key aspects that make Bikes and Beans so appealing is its choice of venue. The meetup takes place at a local, rider-owned motorcycle shop that exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With its laid-back and rustic ambiance, it provides the perfect backdrop for conversations about motorcycles, gear, and, of course, the latest adventures on the road.

The Regulars

Bikes and Beans attracts a diverse crowd, from seasoned riders with decades of experience to newcomers who are just getting started. What unites them is their shared love for motorcycles, making for a harmonious blend of knowledge and enthusiasm. It's not uncommon to find riders from various backgrounds, whether they prefer cruisers, sportbikes, touring machines, or café racers.


Sharing Stories

The heart of Bikes and Beans lies in the stories and experiences shared among attendees. Over a cup of steaming coffee, riders swap tales of their most memorable journeys, best scenic routes, and most challenging rides. It's a place to find inspiration for your next adventure or to offer advice to fellow riders facing similar challenges.


Coffee and Community

As the name suggests, coffee plays a central role at Bikes and Beans. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the sounds of revving engines and excited chatter. The coffee truck offers a variety of brews to suit every palate, and it's not unusual for participants to end up with a free coffee as often the first 50 are complimentary.


In addition to coffee, the community aspect of Bikes and Beans is a significant draw. Lifelong friendships and riding buddies have formed at this meetup, with riders often organizing impromptu rides or road trips together.


Bikes and Beans is more than just a monthly meetup for motorcycle enthusiasts; it's a community of like-minded individuals bound by their shared passion for two-wheeled adventure. Whether you're an experienced rider looking for camaraderie, a newbie seeking advice, or simply someone who enjoys a good cup of coffee and interesting stories, this meetup has something for everyone. So, if you haven't already, mark your calendar for the next Bikes and Beans gathering and experience the warmth and camaraderie that defines this unique event.


Don't miss out on the next Bikes and Beans – it's where the love for motorcycles and the appreciation of a good cup of coffee converge. Join the community, share your stories, and make some new friends along the way.


WHEN: 8:00 am First Sunday of every month, subject to cancellation if the weather is bad.
