GS filling fast & TS recce soon!

|
| GS registrations
have been arriving thick and fast, with now close to 100 registered
for the 2008 event in March next year. An incredible response
with still 5 months to the off! So if you are still deciding
whether to join us in the “High Country” in 2008
don’t leave the decision too long.
BMW Motorrad, in conjunction with Stay Upright, is considering
putting on a 2 day, off-road rider training course on the
Friday and Saturday immediately preceding the GS Safari. So
the dates being considered are Friday 29 February (yes! 2008
is a leap year) and Saturday 1 March. The course would be
for GS riders using their own motorcycles. We would like to
hear from those who may be interested in taking part so that
we can assess whether we’ll have the numbers to make
the exercise worthwhile.

BMW Motorrad Off Road Skills Training Courses which
will give you details of the courses and what’s involved.
The 2007 courses are unfortunately all “sold out”.
To register your interest, simply email us at info@bmwsafari.com
with the subject heading “March 08 GS Rider Training”.
That gives you two great days next March to perfect your skills
followed by 2,000 km to put them into practice!

Next month we’ll be showing
you a selection from the range of BMW Motorrad off-road riding gear
so that you’ll all be spectacularly clean and well-dressed
when you turn up in March 08! As mentioned before the final GS recce
is in November so we’ll be bringing you lots of pics of the
tracks and trails, the incredible scenery and much more in the end
of November update.
TS 2008 recce trip
starts 12 October…in just over a week! Even on paper it
looks fantastic. So you’ll be able to get a very good idea
of what you’ll be riding and what you’ll be seeing
when we publish the pics from our trip in the update at the end
of this month. Two of our five overnight stops, as we head for
the warmth of the north, are planned to be for 2 nights duration
with plenty of options to ride, dive, do the laundry… or
just laze around! We will be talking to Bikes Only about costs
for transporting bikes to our start venue and back from the finish
for those who would like details of these options.
