  • What to Bring - Please read and acknowledge you have read these


    Bike/Transport
    A reliable well tested bike that can handle all day at Wide Open Throttle. *bike really needs to be legal some how or at least appear so.

    Spark plugs and a way to repair a puncture plus the tools to do it are essential for everyone. Whether it’s a tube, or plugs for tubeless people. If someone gets a flat tyre first day and has no tools for it then it’s a dull weekend for them.
  • Clothing/Food
    We would reccomend you bring Clothing that covers all skin on the body. Pants, long sleeve top half, GLOVES, covered shoes.

    Wet weather gear of some sort. Poncho, rain coat, actual wet weather gear; anything that stops you being soaked.

    SNACKS; heaps of muesli bars, OSM, chips, whatever. Small stuff to tie you over until we find a solid eating spot.

    Aim to be as self sufficient as you can; of course some people will end up having to throw a small bag in the vehicle, but if everyone does then it will be full. It’s a 4 day bike trip, A can of Lynx Africa and one pair of undies should do it.
