More...BMW Motorrad Off-Road Training Courses 2011
15/09/2011 In GS Safari News
BMW Motorrad Australia has announced the details of this year's much-anticipated Off-Road Training Courses.
The two courses will be held in NSW at Dargle Valley and in Victoria at the Werribee 4X4 proving ground only a 45-minute ride from Melbourne. Two magnificent venues that are ideal for creating the full range of conditions GS riders may encounter on their Off-Road adventures.
More...Adventure Helmet
12/09/2011 In GS Safari News
Only 1 week to go, we hope you are all very excited about the 2011 GS Safari.
We have had a couple of enquiries about the best type of helmet to use so we thought we would go into more detail for you. Obviously all of the information has stated that an off road style helmet is better suited that a straight road helmet. To be exact, an “adventure” style helmet is the best, one with a peak and visor, like the BMW Enduro Helmet. The main reason for this being that a pure off road helmet may have a peak design that catches the wind at higher speeds. This is particularly a problem when riding a bike with a smaller screen (anything but 1200 GS and GSA). Many riders with off road helmets choose to cut out sections of their off road peak so that the air travels through, limiting how much the peak catches the air at speed.
