2014 BMW GS Safari-Enduro
Across the top end of Australia, through floodways, dust, sand and the magnificent Northern Territory and Queensland gulf countryThe celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the BMW Safari have got off to an action-packed start with 85 riders recently heading across the top of Australia in the 2014 GS Safari-Enduro.
Setting out from Darwin, the group was treated to some incredible riding and scenery and many were challenged with the ever-changing conditions as they made their way to the coast at Palm Cove via Mataranka, Lorella Springs, Hells Gate, Adels Grove, Karumba and Cooktown.
As the safari headed into the outback, on several nights the group spent the night under the stars in a souvenir swag that was specially produced for the event.
The farewell dinner in Palm Cove raised $3500 for the Black Dog Ride charity, with the winning bidder scoring themselves the number one entry on either the BMW TS or GS Safari in Tasmania later this year.
"We first started talking about this remote and exotic ride a few years ago, so it's very satisfying to see it come together so well,” said Miles Davis, the BMW Motorrad Australia Marketing Manager. “The riders were challenged at times and blown away by this part of our amazing country. At the safaris everyone looks after each other, a lot of friendships are made and everyone has a ball.”
