I see on the BMW Motorrad website the first prize in the skill challenge is an HP2....

The Skills Challenge at the 2006 Great African GS Challenge has just turned red hot with the announcement of the biggest first prize in the history of the event - a brand new R 1200 HP2 worth R 139 000.

"And with that goes a great Castrol jacket we hope to make synonymous with the Skills Challenge Champion. Second and third prizes have also received a major boost with another great sponsorship from Touratech South Africa," says BMW Motorrad General Manger Lachlan Harris.

A R20 000 voucher for Touratech accessories will be won by the second best GS rider of 2006, while the third runner-up will receive a R10 000 voucher from the same company.

"But participants who enter for the voluntary skills contest will have to work very, very hard to ride away on the HP2," warns chief off-road instructor Jan du Toit. As the man responsible for devising a different track for every day of the competition, he says the Moolmanshoek terrain will be a great test for riding ability.
"In view of the wonderful prizes, we will have to raise the bar a notch or two." .

.........will have to reconsider my decision not to participate :wink:
