The BMW Motorcycle Club of the ACT invites all motorcyclists to celebrate the 20th anniversary of BMW’s most successful engine variant the R1100, R1150 and R1200 oil heads and Canberra’s 100thbirthday at the Oil Head Rally in the national capital. If you own an early R1100GS, a late model R1200RT or anything in between or would just like to be a part of this milestone in BMW Motorrad’s history – please come along; all riders and bike makes are welcome.

Saturday registration starts from 1000 hrs at Canberra’s only BMW dealership Rolfe Classic Motorcycles Showroom, 2 Botany Street Phillip (Google map) with demo rides, sales and $2 sausage sizzle or drinks from 1200 – 1400 hrs.
