For a brief period, Lake Omeo lit up to the sounds of roaring twins and triples soaring past, trailing a formidable plume of dust in their wake. Whether tucked in behind the fairing trying to reduce drag or standing on the fringe taking in the spectacle, it was a unique and thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Touratech Travel 3 hit Bright, Victoria, with the throttle wide open, and Wilko was there to soak up the atmosphere.
The impromptu time trial was just one of the highlights of the third Touratech Travel Event. The third running of the annual Touratech get-together kicked off a couple of days earlier with Triumph and KTM demo rides on the Friday afternoon, followed by in-depth presentations as the sun dropped over the beautiful alpine town of Bright.
