Join the BMW Safari
Places filling fastBMW's 14th Safari is on again for 2008, with two routes: adventure (with an off-road component) and touring.
The company says that adventure places (for solo riders only) are filling quickly.
From the factory: The BMW GS Safari will take place in the spectacular Victorian and New South Wales "High Country" from Sunday 2 March to Friday 7 March. It encompasses five days' riding across the varied tracks and trails of the region. All participants must have off-road riding experience, and the event is ideal for those who have successfully completed a BMW off-road riding course.
The intrepid adventurers who took part in last year's BMW Cape York Safari will be pleased to hear there is no sand, and no hungry crocs lurking in the water crossings, either.
Immediately prior to the GS Safari, BMW Motorrad will hold a two day off-road riding course for around 30 participants wishing to hone their skills.
The 2008 TourenSport (TS) Safari will take place 17 - 23 August in Queensland.
The route is still a closely-guarded secret, but the event will run over six days and cover more than 2000 km. Optional rest days are built into the schedule, so riders can take a day off to indulge in a luxury spa, scuba dive a wreck, visit an historic gold mining town or just cool off at a swimming hole.
The most northerly point on the official route is Cape Tribulation, following a start north of Brisbane. Participants can expect varied and picturesque scenery, including passing a smorgasbord of plantations - sugar cane, mango, coffee and bananas, and sections of twisty back-roads almost devoid of traffic and human habitation.
Registration for the 2008 TS Safari opens early in 2008 at the BMW Safari website.
