For many, “The Cape” is a bucket list trip. It has been an iconic Aussie destination for generations due to its remoteness and rugged terrain. Literally getting there is a trip that spans many days or weeks depending on your method of travel. Four-wheel-drive an dirtbike magazines have hyped up tracks such as The Old Tele and The CREB for good reason. They are both hard and challenging, particularly for the cars!
Enter the motorcycles. There are several tour companies that do runs to the Tip but none of them do it quite like Charlie Bennison and his crew at Motorcycle Odyssey Australia (MOA).
Times are a changin’, the trip still remains the epic ride of a lifetime, but demands for getting there and the timeframe to do it in are getting tighter. Punters want the latest greatest equipment, to be treated like kings with food and drinks and shown the gnarliest, coolest tracks that are on offer. A six day run to the Cape with MOA does all that.
Charlie is a typical Aussie larrikin that loves to punt his fleet of latest gen KTM 500 EXCs from Cairns to the Tip every two weeks. Not only does Charlie love to have a great time postride each
