canberra canberra to barrel and barrel to lure new south wales we're riding with the full support of bmw we have technical support tyre support medical support luxury accommodation and gourmet meals but other than that we're completely on our own on the way to bateman's bay for the start of the 2020 bmw safari looking forward to this one completely it's a pretty good feeling to be getting ready to head out on the safari tomorrow morning i'll tell you thank you how good is that steve smith helped me out on day one because i've made the rookie mistake of taking the gpx file and converting it to a trip now don't be doing that what you want to do is show it on the map [Music] [Music] so me [Music] certainly recommend the kuma cafe best on a kebab in the state [Music] do lucky [Music] since i don't have a tank bag i've used a bit of gaffer tape to secure the navigation instructions to the side of my tank [Music] [Applause] [Music] somebody's mopped around [Music] i know very interesting [Music] [Music] left yeah you can't get up that's right no that's true i haven't got very good i think i'll get something's gonna go wrong with my gun it's a big hairy you know i'm myself i'm looking at this causeway and i'm thinking i know my limits and i'm going to get one of the bmw safari guys to take my bike across i don't think there's any shame in that what's good on you best way to do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] yeah and make sure or you let me know you've passed through there okay via text or something yeah well do you want to go [Music] [Applause] [Music] woohoo [Music] so we've made it to the end of day two on the gender bind loop i'm here with my new friend jonathan walker who's accompanied me for the last couple of days so the bmw team uh tell me your nickname's bumblebee now why would that be i have no idea so we've stopped it at mitre 10 jonathan's just got a few repairs to do gps mount sheared off so she was dangling around the controls which probably isn't a good thing uh so i'm going to take that remainder of that bolt out and go find a nice stainless steel piece to fix it up rider briefings are a bit different these days part where we you know some personal contact with the text message thing was what we had to do yesterday so anyway we're going to run this through quick i'm going to hand over to anthea quickly she's going to cover a couple of things and then i'm going to have a chat about today or the last couple of days a bit of a recap and then talk about tomorrow so cool hey guys very first time that i've ever seen a briefing look like this so that's interesting kudos thanks so much for playing playing games so it's really appreciated i'm just from my side tomorrow we're going to do the same thing for breakfast so head on into town grab your brekkie and unfortunately they've got to readjust it a second time so and look we told you arrows first i'm sure some people got there said gps goes that way [Music] [Music] [Music] comes paul hanlon dirk bike rider extraordinaire paul what you do for a good film you know you nearly got me your bugger really you nearly you nearly took out the camera man hang on i gotta say paul that was sensational and i've got it all on film except for where i drop the camera and run hey paul little word for the camera how was that how's that mate believe you made me do it wow that was awesome nearly got me in the process but anyways i gotta say i was most impressed okay pete got to the next [Music] beautiful so yep [Music] [Music] picture of oh this is adam ennerby a place i've never been to before just stopped here for a bit of lunch then we're heading on to canberra [Music] so [Music] [Music] again [Music] [Music] ryder briefings get more and more strange how's it going missing and we'd lose people in the forest in there does that have you noticed on your gps a few times right i have to say thanks to me everything won't take the morning of a blind crest too seriously and you would end up i don't know if anyone when you went over there had a little look off to the right where you'd end up if you went over there in 2011 and then had a long break um so this could be back on a big bike and just to dispel the rumors i've actually owned more bmws than any other brand okay so i think i'm on to my twentieth [Music] oh is up [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] you oh [Music] [Music] um [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] um [Music] [Music] oh [Music] please [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] no more [Music] you don't like that okay don't you hate it when you're all dressed up for a party and someone turns up we're in the same outfit there's my mate leon how you enjoying the safari leon love it love it that's fantastic always fun it's going well isn't it yeah it's great and tell me about this 850 or yours when did you buy this i picked this up in february 2019 yeah and rode the first safari last year for the time i got on i loved it yeah just gave me more confidence i was on a 1204 but uh this just sort of boosted my confidence on money sure so the suits be the end of the ground magic great place yeah good on you okay we're on nerogan road thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] keep the ribs up [Music] [Music] just keep on going but keep your hand [Music] again oh [Music] come on yeah that's clear for him all right and it's very powdery it's almost like plenty of action [Music] oh [Music] so [Music] much today kept a little secret from you know i'd like to say i knew it was going to be that soft but that was a little surprise for us um but no today went well and i think we sort of had a chat to most people as they come in but anyone have a lay down in the little river crossing no yeah got a little wash a little tuna but today had a little bit of everything actually it was turned out a pretty good day i think um a lot of different surfaces i think today highlights what you get on an adventure bike and how you have to adapt and sort of recalibrate as the day goes on because we had like i said a little bit of everything after we got the forestry stuff this morning which as far as traction goes that was all pretty straightforward but pretty tight and a few little things here and there you had to worry about erosion rats and holes and then a bit of bitumen pop out the other side of braidwood and onto that sort of granity marbley stuff that's pretty slick but when you calibrate to that surface it's a great surface to ride to ride on it really is it's very similar to barry wade we're at peppa's craggy moon and barrel at the end of day four and i'm here with steve smith of adventuremoto.com steve helped me out on day one with my navigation i was having problems with my gps and i thought i'd have a fireside chat with him so g'day steve so how's the safari going for you so far i look i'm having such a good time it's been gosh i think the last safari before this one was 2011. that's how long it's been and getting back on a big bmw it just reminds me how much fun you know adventure riding can be i mean there's all sorts of different adventuring and i've probably been lucky enough to experience uh most of them but the safari is such a well-organized event um you know it's a great bunch of people um i said the other night you know a lot of new friends a lot of old customers so uh it's good to catch up with people and meet new people and and you know you mentioned earlier steve that i helped you out day one but that's what it's all about it's about being there within for each other and you know lifting bikes off people and getting you know filled in by people when they come past you at 100 miles an hour and yeah i'm having a good time apache rain as we leave craigie burn and head off towards toronto and then wambian caves making their way through genolan to lura so we'll see what the track's like i might reassess when we get to taralga just to see what the rain is doing [Music] oh you're on the same bike [Music] [Music] [Music] so from memory at this point i'm about to go down a hill and across a causeway let's see how that goes thankfully we got some smiles [Music] not sure how we got the bike up there though [Music] [Music] [Music] well this causeway is not as i remember it i came through here in about uh june with the rideadv.com.u team and this was smooth as silk no exposed rocks at all yeah well steve take it easy up here mate switch backs it's a bit rough never been one so are you guys carrying those no are they worthwhile absolutely yeah uh almost essential in that heavy heavy dusty content conditions yeah okay when so when this when this um gets dusty too dusty um it will give out and then these just go straight on right over the top and you just you just wear them in there like that yeah and that you'll better ride through ride through anything yeah like if you're behind three blokes throwing up dust that's the only yeah i know yeah good point yeah no i've actually never bothered but um i can see how they could be useful yeah goggles are really they're not even just useful like in certain circumstances they're almost yeah yeah well i'll buy myself a pair yeah they're probably 89 bucks they're not yep they're not oh a 50 pair is good enough they don't they don't have to be the super fancy you need them yep yeah okay oh it's a good tip thanks for that yeah yeah excellent all right oh hello thank you my dear you're so welcome before you get everything off follow the driveway around and down to car park 3. get your bike parked in there and then you can come back up here and see me check in pack three yep what happened [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] it has been quite the journey to get here i guess when were we supposed to do this we were meant to be at philip island in march yeah and here we are so we don't want to talk too long right now we've got entrees about to come out but we really just wanted to welcome everyone so big well done we got through a great day today everyone's here sort of except for one but he's okay he's doing all right we'll give you a bit more of an update later um but yeah well done we're here final dinner at safari 2020 and uh enjoy the night we've got some exciting stuff to go through um tonight a few bits and pieces a few awards a bit of fun so we'll rip into that stuff a little bit later on
