Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editors’ Report
As you read this, unless you got hold of a pirate copy of the straightto-Netflix Journal early release, the Editors are off on a whirlwind adventure to Tasmania. Yes we lived there for a long time but didn’t ride, and have only once been there for a riding trip so this will fill in a few gaps, such as everywhere south and east of Launceston besides Ben Lomond. Sliding down the foggy wet dirt tracks off that mountain on an F700GS isn’t something we have quickly forgotten. Yes we are fully cognisant of the vagaries of the weather before anyone feels the need to let us know - we did live in Strahan for 3 years after all. I remember on one clear day down there thinking Wow! We’ve had one clear day!”
As we come to the end of another BMWMCQ committee year, whose new year seems more aligned with Chinese New Year than one would expect from a German motorcycle club, we look forward to the next and would like to offer our retiring President Paul our sincere thanks for his extraordinary efforts over the past few years. His mantra has always been “something for everyone”, so the range of events on offer is suitable from those who can only attend once a year to the hard core rallyists, the weekend riders, and the longer trippers. We are loving it.
Happy riding, won’t see you on the road - except if you are in Tasmania!
