Channel 7 News

Channel 7 are looking for new angles...any suggestions...

GPS

Franco's planning has been converted into GPS waypoints for half the trip....still a way to go....

Neck Braces

Neck braces do not work with BMW Rallye Pro coats....unless I am very much mistaken.

Kenilworth Training Ride

Another great weekend ride, this time thanks to the local knowledge of John and Mick. On the previous day they had both succumbed to a disasterous slide into a gully and spend hours dragging their bikes out inch by inch. Despite this they were the perfect guides and we had a great opportunity to experience some single track for the first time. Again the BMWs were faultless.

New Sponsor

Looks like we could be onto a new "safety" sponsor. Details in the near future.

In the meantime Bec Hughes is working hard on the logo - T-Shirts available soon!

Maintenance

Have spent the weekend striping the bike down to run some repairs and modifications. I have discovered some broken Touratech parts so they will have to go back for replacement. Hope they stay together for 20,000km!

Fraser Island

We made it back in one piece and had a great time getting used to the bigger bikes in the sand. They appear top and front heavy so any front braking tucks the front wheel and you are off. By the end of the weekend, with the bikes unlaiden we are satisfied that we are ready to take it to the next level....lets fill those panniers!!!!!

Watch the video to see Franco and Chris both having some close moments!
