Longer travel suspension and stronger laced wheels should be better.

2019 On the road May 2019 which replaced my 2016 1200GS

Finger troubles.2022 with September delivery so I am told.

Well I decided to get the BMW standard spoke wheels. They will be attached to a 2002 GSA that I committed to on Friday!LOL

You need lots of bug spray and head nets!Pretty normal for up there!

My pressure was set at the normal settings of 2.5 and 2.9 bar.Inner tubes do not work with these wheels due the valves being in the spokes ,not in the rims.

A few more pics Sunset at the Mirage with a visitor McGyver at work.A rock took the tab off the frame for kickstand spring. Final fuel fill before the 381 Our final dinner in North Bay before heading for home the next morning

Good point because I do want to stay with tubeless.Any Idea of who else does wheels like this?Woody’s does offer them tubeless by taping the rim but in my opinion that is less than ideal.

Just been on the phone with Woody’s Wheel works and discussed doing some proper Lace wheels with Excel rims in stock sizes.We are intending to go back up when my buddy gets his new KTM 1290 Adventure R.We are going to finish my shortened ride.

Nope Michelin Ankee Adventures

July 1st A 1000 kms to North Bay to the Terrace Bay Inn which a superb place to stay.We had our end of ride dinner at Churchill’s in Calendar which was superb!A great ride with a bunch of great people.I will be back to complete my ride but with the knowledge gained ,preparation will be much...

I ended up on Michelin Ankee Adventure but I had ordered the Wilds but the Adventures arrived instead.Apparently they were backordered.

June 29.I was relegated to being in the back seat of the chase truck for the rest of the journey.We left for The Mirage at 358km of the Trans Tiaga rd.The road was quite good for the 1st bit then we ran into the graders and soft gravel several times on the way to the Mirage which made it...

They sent a truck out of Amos which is about 800kms to the south.This service is a good reason to ride a BMW as it would have been a $3000 tow by our reckoning.

June 28.The Macgyvers of this group decided they wanted to try to repair the rim.They banged it somewhat straighter but when it was inflated,we found a long crack so the gig was over. I contacted BMW Roadside assistance to pick up the bike and get it to a dealer down south.They called me back...

June 27.We left Nemaska for Relais 381 on a very nice morning.5 of us continued westward on the North Rd to the Billy Diamond Hwy.The 3 other guys backtracked go the Hydro junction and worked their way to the East Main rd that dumps you on the highway just north of the 381. We were going a a...

Ok quick summary of our trip. June 25 we left left Toronto and met north of Orillia.We rode as a group to Val D Or in the sometimes very heavy rain.One of our riders did not make it out of Toronto due to his new to him Tiger 1200 having electrical issues.He decided to take his 2008 BMW K1200GT...
