After an unbroken run of over two decades BMW Motorrad’s GS Safari was finally stopped in its tracks. The challenge for the organisers was immense. With everything balanced on a knife’s edge as we write this, the event is poised for a restart in September.
There wouldn’t be too many Australian adventure riders on any brand of bike who don’t know of the BMW GS Safari. It kicked off in 1994 with a ride from Sydney to Fraser Island and has become the standard for other manufacturer rides to measure up to. The service and support provided to riders is astonishing and the terrain and destinations are always awesome.
