Link1 Link2 BMW SA Far Cairn Rally in aid of MARI The BMWTCNSW will be hosting an event at Tottenham on 13th and 14th September 2008 at Tottenham Racecourse NSW. We'll be raising funds for MARI - ( motorcycle accident rehabilitation initiative) started at St Vincents by two of our members, George and Charis Schwarz. This to be an "open" club event so all are welcome. We hope to get a good display of bikes of all makes, camping at the racecourse or stay the Pub in town. _____________________________________________________________________________ Now I had this thought Looking at the name of the rally and because our numbers can help a charity I thought why not make it a location of a FarRide ? What say you ? Davo 1400GTR "Roo" & 1000GTR "Griff" IBA #22575 - Davo's Pages

After all, who could resist going to the Far Cairn Rally...... So if my staff actually work the days they're supposed to for a change I'll be there ! There are 2 types of motorcyclists in the world, FarRiders & those that wish they were... FarRider # 23 Ulysses # 37295 IBA # 30435

Don I understand that but it needs to be in there somewhere and most FarRiders are not GTR-AUS members so if a couple want to focus on Busso in Oct (which I totally understand as money does not grow on trees) and give the #8 one a miss it will be ok. First one next year 2009 will be Feb back at Nambucca Heads. Davo 1400GTR "Roo" & 1000GTR "Griff" IBA #22575 - Davo's Pages

I am looking at making it a long weekend. Short run Friday arvo to Glen Innes - Saturday Glen Innes to Tottenham (712km) then return to Coonabarabran (1003k for that day) then an easy 750k run Coona to home on Sunday. Like to keep off the major highways as much as possible and the many ways through between the New England and Newell make for great riding. Clint and Charleen FarRiders - WingRiders - Riders

Can also be good for anyone wanting just to come for the weekend or day and maybe not do the FarRide. All good for fundraising. Davo 1400GTR "Roo" & 1000GTR "Griff" IBA #22575 - Davo's Pages

Posts: 3678 (13-Jun-08 11:22 AM) FarRider Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Sounds great, over the weekend I am getting something up to encourage GTR-AUS & FarRiders to attend. I had a long conversation with Andrew LeL earlier today, pres of BMWNSW and he sent me this last night. If you and the FarRiders can support us it would be fantastic. As always the organising has fallen to a few - if we aim to kick the first off with quality not quantity I reckon we have half a shot at making this an annual fund raiser for MARI It was started by two of our club members who self published a a book about their travels on a BMW 50 over forty years - Highlights of the Road. They donated all proceeds form the book to start the fund - I believe in what they've kicked off - a fund to assist motorcyclists back on their feet after an accident.
