If riding a new BMW you have to buy the BMW approved gear.

A new issue of the Australian Motor cycle News came out Thursday so if you didn't get the adventure ride special before Thursday you missed it. If I remember I will bring my copy to the next meeting.

PS - 7 to go
It's just more time to be flat out!

Recently I was doing a bit of exploring and turned up Marginal Rd on the GS, it was pretty wet and greasy and pretty soon realised the 70% road 30% dirt tyres were going to be an issue! red friggin clay! slippery as. Left the ABS on and it was good to have it active on a few slippery downhills and actually I can't imagine ever switching it off, it is that good on road, gravel and wet friggin slippery clay. The traction control in Enduro mode also works and did get a bit of arse hanging out, it was fun but really need to get some decent tyres to get a better idea of what the bike can do.
