WATCH THIS SPACE SAYS POSSUM WORDS/PHOTOS THE POSSUM
The 4th and 5th of October saw the BMW Clubs Australia Motorrad Rally 2014, conducted at sunny Lake Cargelligo in central NSW. The BMW Club of ACT picked up the ball and organised things with generous financial support from BMW Australia.
The Lake Cargelligo Bowling Club was the centre of activities on the Saturday night with a fine buffet spread and raffles.
BMW Clubs from QLD, NSW, VIC, ACT and SA were represented and filled up most accommodation in the town not already grabbed by the other crowd in town for the fishing competition.
In addition to support from BMW, Sydney BMW specialists Motohansa came to the party with a brilliant range of giveaways for the entrants. The tyre repair kits and the small socket sets were appreciated by all who received them. Motohansa also provided a comprehensive tool kit as the main raffle prize. From funds raised by the raffle, $500 was donated to the local hospital auxiliary.
The weekend also served up a reminder of the dangers of riding in country Australia.
BMWTCNSW member Ian Horsburgh lost his life following a collision with an emu while riding between Lake Cargelligo and Mt Hope. Ian was the driving force behind the Far Cairn Rally at Tottenham and the editor of the BMWTCNSW club magazine and will be missed by all who knew him. He was also heavily involved in the motorcycle charity MARI. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
From this fi rst event, it is hoped to get another national ride organized for two years time, with the involvement of a different state club.
BMW riders haven’t reached the level of HOG or RAT events, but give them time…
