23.01.2022 GAR Rider Steve Kamerling..describes riding adventure bikes in a nutshell.

22.01.2022 Life is a daring ADVENTURE.....or nothing at all.

22.01.2022 This year has been by far the most challenging year to organise motorcycles tours. Thankful to be going back into the Simpson again very soon with the Womens team. The girls have been working hard to raise funds for Dollys Dream, raising $8,742.61 so far. If you have a few dollars to spare, you can donate on the link below. https://give.everydayhero.com//all-women-simpson-crossing-... This will be our last organised ride for the 2020 bike season! Its been tough....but very rewarding. We hope all the riders who joined in this years rides have had a good shot of Adventure - Courage - Freedom. If things line up im looking to do a Hans Solo double of the Simpson on the 990

22.01.2022 CAPEGAR 2020 Tick this bucket list ADVENTURE of your list! Conquer the far north on this 15 Day. 4000km life changing journey. The Cape is a natural eco environmental wonder like no other, offering increadible rides through crystal clear freshwater creeks and ancient rainforerts. Exploring and pushing your boundaries here is just surreal.... Hard to put on paper just how much fun we had on the 1st run! An incredible experience that will never be forgotten. A bond shared that will never be broken. Tried and tested itinerary - 100% success rate for 2019 riders in completing the mission. Fully supported. Bike transportation from Cairns/home if required. Contact [email protected] for registration. Limited to 12 Riders

22.01.2022 Ok...a few have been asking where this years GAR has been through. Beacause of the Covid border business and that we have a couple of NSW fellas with us were had to alter the route and have a alternative end game. To be honest, border control has been good with us and even helped and advised us of what was happening in the next state and how best for us to get a good ride in. Most towns that we have stayed at have been very appreciative of us staying and spending a dollar wi...th them. Today we leave Winton, after a very proactive day cleaning and preparing for the next 9 days. We are set to claim CAPE YORK. Steep Point is out and its a big blow! We are a team and stand together in this decision, its awesome to see the lads commit to ride north. The Simpson was in excellent condition after massive rains a few days before hand. Almost had the desert to ourselves. A highlight was camping north on Eyre Creek between the creek and dune...million miles away from TV, Covid dramas and internet. We were free men for them 3 days! The guys and bikes did well, we had a young German fella, Alex who tagged along. Alway good to see young blokes get out there and chasing adventure. Irish Donal unfortunately stacked his DR and fractured his collar bone, but he is doing well and getting xray and medical attention today. So far weve passed through, Byron, tenterfield, texas, yetman, mundingi, Nindigully, bollon, Cunnamulla, eulo, thargo, bulloo downs, eromonga, Windorah, Birdsville, Poeppel corner, Eyre creek, Bedoruie, Diamantina national park and winton. The quest continues.... Happy travels

21.01.2022 WE ARE STILL GOING! So many business have gone under or postponed their rides to next year! The borders closures have caused a huge amount of problems for everyone. Victorians are completely locked down, poor buggers! NSW is in the mix of an outbreak.... And YES, the Western Australian border to currently closed, we will assess the border closures as we get to them. THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO REACH STEEP POINT.... GAR ADVENTUREMAX is in a position as it stands today to be able to complete 2 stages of the ride. Including the SIMPSON DESERT. If crossing the Simpson is on your bucket list and you are confident rider we have room for a few late entries. Maybe youd like to Ride Stage 1 from Byron to Birdsville with a great crew EAST TO WEST STAGES Stage 1 - Byron to Birdsville - 2nd August - 7th August - 6 day Stage 2 - Birdsville to Alice Springs - 8th August - 12th August - 5 day. 2 Rest Days in Alice Springs Possible to ride from Alice Springs out to Uluru. If that is as far as we can go west on the date well double back and knock out some awesome tracks back east that will blown the Coronablues away! Contact [email protected] for more details.

10.01.2022 GAR Survival series completed. This weekend concludes after a safe double crossing of the Little Desert. Shes little but dam difficult to cross. Through good training, support and advice our riders obtain the technique and abilities to cross. I think GAR is the only one that offers the opportunity to cross crazy little desert. If its hard and requires disciplined work...GAR will do it and flourish. ... We dont charge the earth and take pride in seeing riders build a frame of reference, grow and conquer. Glad to say weve had a good GAR Survival Series even though the Coronavirus has been knocking at the door. Our riders are prepared for the upcoming Adventuremax in August. Id like to thank all participants, support and followers. Its never easy....but we always deliver and forge forward. Thank you, we hope to see you the tracks soon. Happy travels.

04.01.2022 Its with regret that under the current circumstances we are looking to postpone the All Womens Simpson Desert Crossing to later this year. And to cancel CAPEGAR 2020. Please hang in there....things are tough out there at the moment for everyone. But it will past and life will eventually return to normal.

02.01.2022 Diamantina National Park. One word can only describe this place......Vast!

02.01.2022 Few riders locking in for the CAPEGAR RIDE. For those riders who can not do the entire trip. Consider Day 1 - OPERATION CRACOW! Brisbane to Cracow - 500km day. Its a BIG day and one that youll enjoy with all the riders. Yet to finalise the nuts and bolts for this day...Trust me, youve never seen a place quite like Cracow, its an old rundown gold mining town that has an absolute gem of a pub there. Run by the famous Fred Brophy who has ran boxing tents across the Austral...ian outback for years. You will not forget this place! Register your interest for the OPERATION CRACOW NOW!
