The bike show is at the Bombala Showground on Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16.
From humble beginnings, in 1991, where the inaugural show was held in the auditorium of the Bombala RSL Club, the event of today has grown in strength and volume from year to year.
Bombala Motorcycle Association secretary Sam Newman said, "Saturday's Show 'n' Shine is much the same as last year with one more category added."
"The extra category is a one-off for the Thomas Regent Memorial Trophy for the "Best Local" entry."
On Saturday night there is a fireworks display with entertainment by Blues musicians Vinyl Rain, Justin Ngariki and Marshall and the Fro.
Camping is available at the showgrounds for the weekend for $30 that includes a fire bucket and wood with the Bull Shed reserved for RV's and camper vans.
"There are two burn out comps during the day for the over and under 600cc's and another one on Saturday night," Ms Newman said.
"We have Inflatables R Us for the kids with Sumo Suits, Gladiator Wars, Vertical Bungee, Sticky Wall and a Buckin' Bull. During the evening there will be a 'buck off' with the winner taking the pot.
"The usual tattoo competition is running, one for the kids and one for adults judged by Survivors Inc."
The annual raffle is once again a new motorcycle with first prize a 2019 Honda CRF1000 Africa Twin supplied by Bega Motorcycles.
Second prize is a $1000 store credit from Easy R Australia. Raffle tickets are $50.
The year the Bombala Bike Show committee has a special VIP section that provides a secluded place for people to sit located in front of the stage.
"Entry to the VIP section is only $20 and includes a spin on the wheel and chances to win prizes on offer," Ms Newman said.
Entry to the bike show is from Forbes Street only. The Bombala Bike Show is a BYO event only, no glass permitted.
