BMW GS SAFARI ENDURO: DAY FIVE DONE, TWO MORE TO GO!
And on and on the BMW brothers and sisters rumble.
Another mighty day of more than 300km puts the pack at Elizabeth Station tonight, and along the way there’s been break-out sections just to keep everyone on their toes.
And there’s been dust. And water. And rocks. And crocs. And the views of a lifetime.
The spectacular Kimberleys of the top end of WA just keep on delivering.
Two more days to go … brilliant!

WHITES POWERSPORTS CELEBRATES OPENING NEW GLOBAL HQ
Massive congratulations to all the team at Whites Powersports, who this week celebrated the official opening of their new global HQ, showroom and warehouse facility located just outside of Hamilton, in the North Island of New Zealand.
The purpose-built building is a whopper, boasting no less than 6,000 square metres of floor space and featuring many of the technical and logistical lessons Whites learned from recently building an equally impressive new Australian distribution centre in Brisbane.
Whites Powersports has seen meteoric growth since the company’s early beginnings more than 70 years ago. Keith Larkin purchased the business in 1994 following an earlier in career in motorcycle retailing, and since then Whites Powersports has grown to become one the largest motorcycle accessory distributors in New Zealand and Australia, representing a portfolio of leading global brands that include Leatt, Giant Loop, LS2, Bridgestone, Shoei and Oxford, to name just a few.
Congratulations Keith and all the crew at Whites Powersports.

BMW GS SAFARI ENDURO: WHEN THE GOING GETS WET
Another two huge days on the Safari Enduro!
Yesterday featured a ripping loop ride at Lake Argyle packed with rocks and dust.
Then today the pack pushed on to El Questro, with a stop along the way at Emma Gorge for a hike and a dip to wash the dust off.
And then this arvo, the Pentecost River brought on a few unexpected bath time stories!
What a ride, and what an awesome part of Australia’s ADV riding landscape.
And there’s still more to come on the way to Broome.

ROCKET & RIEMANN —JUST HORSING AROUND
Five days and over 3000 kays later and Rocket Rod Faggotter and Adam Riemann are about halfway through a diagonal crossing of OZ from south-west WA to north-east QLD.
They’re mounted aboard a pair of Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raids — Adam on his Darkhorse and Rocket on the Bluehorse.
Adam’s filming this little outback jaunt for a Motology Films movie on YouTube, and Rocket’s writing a BTS story on the trip for AAB mag.
And yeah, rest assured they are travelling well off the grid, where no horse has gone before.
Go hard lads!

DAY 2, BMW GS SAFARI ENDURO —WESTWARD HO!
After a restful (!) nights slumber spent lying on the ground in tents in the stifling heat, Day 2 has seen the Safari riders keep pushing west, into Western Australia and punching out dry and dusty distances.
And the navigation was tough today: a whole three turns on the route notes for the day’s 466km adventure!
Tonight the pack is at Lake Argyle, where amazing watery vistas await and a cracking loop ride through stone hard lands is on the agenda tomorrow.
Good times on Safari, with a dash of Enduro to keep you on your toes; that’s what this event is all about!

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ADVENTURE … MOTO!
Yeah, what a hard day at the office today …
It kicked off with a visit to Adventure Moto HQ at Dural in Sydney to catch up with Max and get sized up for a schmick new Klim Carlsbad jacket.
And while we were there we had to get the latest news for the fast approaching The Dirty Weekend at Green Valley Farm the weekend after next — sounds like it’s gonna be awesome!
Then it was straight off into the sticks to shoot a bunch of action images of the sultry Italian supermodel, the Aprilia Tuareg.
A ripping good day, for sure!

AN EVENING WITH LYNDON
Legendary adventurer and rally racer Lyndon Poskitt is heading Down Under.
He will be riding the fast approaching Husky Trek event on the south coast of NSW, and then right after will be hosting a special “Evening with Lyndon” function in Sydney.
Here’s the details:
September 8, 2024:
Sauce Brewing Co, Sydney
“An Evening With Lyndon”
Known for his YouTube series Races to Places, Lyndon travelled solo for over five years around the world on his motorcycle covering 234,000km across 74 countries and racing 11 races along the way.
This "Evening with Lyndon” will be packed full of interesting stories, tales, info and facts from his action packed journey.
Since his last presentation in Sydney in 2015 when he passed through Australia on his travels, he went on to tour New Zealand, the Americas top to bottom and Africa bottom to top, mostly off-road before returning to his home in England.
With a couple of Dakar Rally races thrown into that journey, it was about time he came back to Australia to give us an update on his experiences from around the world.
From traveling through the most dangerous country in the world, suffering broken bones and broken bikes to standing on the podium at some of the hardest off road races in the world and returning a different man, there’s a lot to talk about.
Since Covid he's toured Iceland, much of Europe, relocated to Spain and is writing a book which is due to be released shortly.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet him in person, have some fun and listen to his stories first hand.

BMW GS SAFARI ENDURO: SWEATING IT OUT!
Day one of the BMW GS Safari Enduro is in the can and after 640km of low-altitude flying, the 130 strong pack of riders has made it to Top Springs, smack dab in the middle of nowhere!
Temperatures kept climbing all day, to a balmy 39 degrees for the final few hours on the run into camp.
And camp it is tonight: it’s tents all round!
The Darcinator is fast settling in to the 1300 GS Trophy and can’t wait for tomorrow’s ride, as the pack dives deep into the remote Aussie outback … sounds awesome!

FROTHING LIKE CRAZY
So, the Darcinator just reported in from hot and steamy Darwin, and it was obvious he was frothing and gibbering like a fool!
Why?
Because he’d just been given the keys to his ride for this week’s BMW GS Safari Enduro from Darwin to Broome.
And get this: it’s a spanking new R 1300 GS Trophy … unreal!
What a ride to be giving the Bavarian beast a work-out on for his review in AAB.
But first of all, best the Darcinator wipe the dribble from his chin before tonight’s official Welcome dinner … enjoy, mate!

BROOME OR BUST!
The Darcinator has just touched down in Darwin and is gearing up for a mighty week riding the BMW GS Safari Enduro to Broome.
He will be mounted aboard a shiny new R 1300 GS, and when he’s not dodging cattle and watching for crocs in the river crossings, he will be pulling double duty: writing a story on the event and reviewing the bike for AAB mag and shooting content for his MAD-TV channel.
First bike to grab his attention in the Parc ferme is this schmick new 900 GS Enduro owned by Simon: it surely does looks awesome, but chances are it might have some of the shine wiped off by the time they get to Broome!
Have a great ride guys, this one will be truly epic.

JAMES BOND & TRIUMPH SUPPORT UK ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION
Actor Daniel Craig and Triumph Motorcycles are joining forces to offer fans an exclusive opportunity to own two pieces of motorcycle and film history in support of the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), the charity that saves lives at sea.
Inspired by the Triumph Scrambler 1200 and Tiger 900 that featured in the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die, these editions, which sold out on day of launch, will be sold by auction through Bonhams Cars Motorcycles at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show on October 12/13, 2024, in Staffordshire, UK.
Not only will the successful bidders secure the #003/250 Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition, and the #001/250 Tiger 900 Bond Edition, both motorcycles will be hand-signed by Daniel Craig on each side. They will be sold with the original V5C documents bearing Daniel Craig’s name, as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by both Daniel Craig and Triumph Motorcycles’ CEO, Nick Bloor.
Each lot also includes a riding experience at the Triumph Adventure Experience in Wales, UK, with James Bond stunt co-ordinator Lee Morrison and stunt double Paul Edmondson.
Daniel Craig said: “The RNLI has been close to my heart all my life since growing up near the RNLI station at Hoylake. I have incredible memories of going afloat with the RNLI crew at Ramsgate to experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of the organisation that has saved over 146,000 lives since starting up over 200 years ago.
“I am honoured and immensely proud to support the RNLI and hope the auction of Triumph’s Limited Edition Bond motorcycles proves popular. The riding experience with Lee Morrison and Paul Edmondson adds another unique and exciting dynamic to the lots. I worked with Lee on Casino Royale, all the way through to No Time To Die; the opportunity is not to be missed and will help raise funds for the truly lifesaving cause that is the RNLI.”

WHEN IN MITTAGONG … ALL ROADS LEAD TO M.A.P!
While charging through the NSW southern highlands today aboard the sultry Italian supermodel Aprilia Tuareg test bike, we just had to drop in on Shannon and Nicole at the Aussie HQ of Motorcycle Adventure Products (MAP) at Mittagong.
MAP is the Australian importer of Hepco & Becker, Enduristan, Rok Straps, Nomad ADV, Rottweiler and RoxSpeedFX.
Plus they recently added NEXX helmets to their portfolio, and when Clubby heard that the schmick new NEXX X.WED3 KEYO adventure helmet was available in a 3XL fitment, there was no way he wasn’t stopping at Mittagong to try one on for size. Because, you see, Clubby does have trouble finding helmets large enough for his mighty melon … seriously!
And the verdict is: the 3XL X.WED3 KEYO actually fitted him like a glove … you beauty!
Priced from $1,175, the Portuguese-made NEXX X.WED3 KEYO is a premium adventure helmet that has been developed with the feedback of more than 60 ADV riders who have racked up 200,000km of testing.
It’s packed with stacks of cutting-edge features and technology and comes complete with smoke and clear shields, Pinlock 120, Go-Pro mounts, peak extender and more.
You bet we can’t wait to try this bad boy and start racking up some serious miles in it.
So stay tuned for NEXX X.WED3 KEYO helmet reviews in upcoming issues of AAB … and in the meantime, checkout the motorcycleadventure.com.au or nexx-helmets.com.au web sites for more details.

DAYS DON’T GET MUCH BETTER
400-plus kays in a cracking good day with the sultry Italian supermodel.
She’s a player, this one.
She started out a little edgy and reactive yesterday, but with some slight tweaks to the front and rear preload adjusters, she’s a gem right now.
We’ve been snooping about the back of the Snowy Mountains all day long, with no fixed agenda.
We hit highlights that included Mount Porepunkah in the mist, Clear Spot Look-Out and Demon Ridge, Bright Bakery for the breakfast of champions, then Dungey Track on the way to Mount Beauty.
After that was time to romp north, through the lush green pastures of the Kiewa Valley and around Lake Hume, across the ferry to Wymah before steaming on to Jingellic and then taking the back way up to Batlow, the apple capital of the known universe.
Tomorrow … well, we better get back to the real world and get home to get some work done — doh!

SULTRY ITALIAN SUPERMODEL
Who doesn’t love a date with an Italian supermodel?

It’s the spunky ‘24 model and it’s resplendent in the Artreides Black livery and is priced at $23,540 rideaway.
We were big fans of the first model Tuareg and can’t wait to get plenty of miles on this one … bring it on!

THEY’RE BACK!
AND TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME
Charley and Ewan ride again!
The UK duo will soon feature in The Long Way Home, as they ride vintage bikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s home in England, which doesn’t sound far …. But they take the long way!
Here’s the PR for the series from Apple TV+:
LONG WAY HOME
Apple TV+ has announced an all-new 10-episode season of the epic motorcycle adventure series starring and executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, which reunites the best friends for their next great motorbike tour, this time a little closer to home.
“On a rather tricky, sandy bit of ‘Long Way Up,’ Charley and I started to daydream about another trip to keep our minds off the scary road at hand!” said Ewan McGregor. “This is that trip. Rusty old bikes and 10,000 miles of Scandinavia, and Eastern and Central Europe. A big loop from my house in Scotland to Charley’s house in England. Long way home … magic.”
“It has been such a pleasure to get back on the road on motorcycles with my best friend Ewan,” said Charley Boorman. “We’ve talked about doing this trip on old bikes since the last one. Traveling around Scandinavia and Europe has been a blast on our beautiful bikes.”
Ewan and Charley’s adventures have received praise from both critics and fans alike, as “Long Way Up” quickly achieved a perfect 100 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes following its global premiere. The series has been hailed as an “entertaining and highly enjoyable” ride, sure to “please fans looking for adventure,” and was honored with three Emmy Award nominations in 2021, including Outstanding Travel, Adventure and Nature Program; Outstanding Sound Mixing and Editing; and Outstanding Multiple Camera Editing.
The new season follows Ewan and Charley as they ride lovingly refurbished vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England — but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way! They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that will take them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Along the way they’ll immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities.
The series is executive produced by McGregor and Boorman, alongside longtime collaborators David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, who also direct.
“Long Way Up” follows Ewan and Charley’s previous adventures in “Long Way Round” and “Long Way Down.” All three previous seasons are now streaming on Apple TV+.

MOSKO MOTO ALPINE PANNIERS
The Alpine Panniers are Mosko Moto's light, waterproof adventure-touring panniers. Inspired by mountaineering backpacks to be durable, waterproof, and lightweight, the Alpine Panniers are designed for riders with racks who prioritise weight savings for increased ride performance in technical terrain.
The universal mounting system makes them easy to attach to most pannier racks, and the removable inner tote bag allows gear to be easily carried to your tent.
Sold in pairs, these waterproof panniers feature a simple-to-access roll-top closure and packing capacity of 60L (30L in each pannier). The bags are constructed from DWR-coated 420D nylon ripstop and 840D TPU-coated nylon fabric, double-layered in high-wear areas for extra protection against abrasion. Multiple external compression straps and a fiberglass baton-reinforced back panel help keep your gear in place when the trail gets rough.
The removable internal tote bag is made from waterproof 70D ripstop nylon, allowing you to quickly remove your packed items from the pannier when setting up camp. The tote is waterproof with taped seams, providing an additional barrier between your gear and the elements. This also allows storage of water / fuel bottles and dirty gear at the bottom of the panniers while keeping your sleeping bag and clothing separate in the tote.
The Alpine Pannier's universal mounting system makes it easy to attach to most pannier racks—right out of the box. Built to handle challenging off-road terrain, the secure attachment system utilizes four Hypalon reinforced side straps, a lower Velcro wrap panel, and an adjustable upper connection point with high-strength nylon webbing and a premium anodized aluminum Atlas buckle closure. (This is the same buckle used on avalanche safety airbag backpacks.)
Weighing less than two kilos per pannier, the Alpine Panniers are a minimalist, waterproof rack-based luggage system designed for riders prioritizing weight savings and simplicity for increased ride performance in primarily off-road terrain.
