- It’s What We Do
It’s good to set ambitious goals, right? You come up with a plan, consider the difficulty and risks, then lock it in. That’s what happened when I thought about signing up for my first Finke Desert Race on the new R1200GS Rallye X.
The traffic had pounded the Finke River pan into ugly bulldust in places.
So the plan was hatched: I’d ride from home in Melbourne to Alice, race Finke, then cross the Simpson with some BMW Safari customers and then ride home from Birdsville. An epic trip!I had to get an entry in, and that’s no easy feat as they sold out in a day. There were 600 riders, which is 50 per cent more than last year, and 50 per cent were first-timers.
