The Roof of Africa is not known as the Mother of Hard Enduro for nothing: the days are long and the riding is as hard as you will find anywhere in the world.
The thing is, the days don’t end when you stop riding. The riders may be able to replenish their depleted energy levels and get some sleep, but the bikes also need a lot of attention if you’re not to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere the next day.
Of course, if it was easy, then the event wouldn’t separate the men from the boys but that’s not to say that you shouldn’t take advantage of any help that’s offered back in the pits.
For the 2022 Roof of Africa event, Yamaha bLU cRU is making an amazing offer to any competing Yamaha rider.
If you have entered the Roof of Africa on a Yamaha, you can expect to be treated like a factory racer for the duration of the event. bLU cRU Yamaha’s Roof support program is there to take the pressure off you and your crew by offering all Yamaha Roof entrants the following services:
The bLU cRU Yamaha Roof Support Centre will be set up at the official Roof Start/Finish area, in a massive 300sqm marquee tent!
Here, as you finish your day’s ride, bLU cRU Yamaha’s technicians will greet you, fill out a job card listing your necessary bike maintenance – and then wish you well as you depart to your accommodation for some well-earned R & R!
The next time you will see your fully prepped race bike will be on the start line the following morning! During that time, bLU cRU Yamaha technicians will take care of all your bikes requirements, which include:
Cleaning your bike
Changing your tyres/mousses
Air filters change
Oil changes
Chain lubes
Set up adjustments
In fact, whatever you require, they will be able to do it for you.
So, right now, you are asking yourself, ‘yeah, but how much will that cost?’ Well, we’re not sure if you’ll believe this but all of this is a FREE service provided to you by bLU cRU YAMAHA.
You will not pay for any labour, lubes, tyre changes, bike washes, or security – it has all been laid on for you courtesy of bLU cRU Yamaha! The only items you will have to pay for are any spares that you may require, of which they will have stock of most key items right there in the Maluti Mountains!
Also, you won’t need to stress about the safety of your bike overnight! Yamaha bLU cRU will have a security system in place, and your bike will be secure inside the marquee each night.
It’s all very well having the overnight maintenance and cleaning figured out but what about during the day, out in the middle of nowhere? Did you have to ask?
bLU cRU Yamaha will have a dedicated service crew at each DSP, offering mechanical and refuelling assistance to any Yamaha rider (or their crew) requiring these services. Gazebos, lubes, enviro-mats, fire extinguishers, and selected spares will be available to keep your race going! All your crew will have to do is ensure that your race fuel and body fuel arrives at the bLU cRU Gazebo situated at each DSP – the bLU cRU boys will do the rest for you!
So now, there really is no excuse not to get your entry in for the Roof of Africa. You don’t have to take our word for it: for more information, email Mark Roach at [email protected] or call him on 083 651 1677 or head to your nearest bLU cRU YAMAHA Dealer for any additional information.
