On November 8, 200 adventure-loving BMW GS riders descend on the
historic Jenolan Caves House west of Sydney to kick off the 2015
BMW GS Safari.
From the heritage-listed village in the heart of the Greater
Blue Mountains, the Safari will traverse its way through some of
Australia's most stunning countryside between 8 and 13
November.
The off-roads less travelled will be on the daily riding menu.
Through stunning forests, creek crossing, causeways, rolling
farmland, historic locations and villages, the riders will be
guided along the journey by the BMW Safari crew.
This is a serious operation with a total of 15 support staff to
ensure the event runs to plan. There will be two lead riders, a
tyre support truck, videographer, photographer, event
manager, two medics, five event support staff and the BMW
Roadside Assistance support vehicle provided by Allianz.
The final days of the GS Safari will detour across the roof of
Australia. The renowned gravel roads of the High Country will bring
the group into the event's conclusion at Bairnsdale in Victoria,
gateway to the Gippsland Lakes.
BMW Motorrad Australia Marketing Manager Miles Davis is excited.
"The BMW GS Safari is a fantastic event and gives the opportunity
for all GS riders to enjoy magnificent riding country in the
company of others.
"This Safari route covers a wide variety of terrain, from twisty
tar to open dirt roads as well as a few challenging tracks that
will put some of the riders to the test.
"At the end of each day, riders meet to receive a route sheet
and briefing on the day ahead as well as having a beer and
discussing the day's highlights. There is nothing better," said
Davis.
