Town Plans To Build World’s Biggest Motorcycle
Filed Under (Northwest Cycle News Headlines) by John Davis

The race for the biggest Alberta roadside attraction has just gotten one cool contender.

Towns across the province already boast a host of the world’s “biggest,” including a hulking perogy, a towering kubasa and a massive Ukrainian Easter egg.

But the town of Fairview has a big idea that has nothing to do with food.

The town of about 31-hundred has kick-started a plan to build a motorcycle that’s up to four-storeys high.

It’s designed to draw attention to the motorcycle programs offered at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology’s Fairview campus.

The school offers Canada’s only program to train Harley-Davidson mechanics, as well as certificate and apprenticeship programs for those who work on other makes.

You go, Fairview! I used to live in Grimshaw and bought my first motorcycle in Grande Prairie. Nice to hear some news from the Peace.
