Sure you buy the beer!lol

Generally I like to get rid of vehicles before the warranty expires which in the case of BMW is 3 years to maximize the value in the used market.I usually average about 7-10000 kms a year and usually end up selling my used units to friends so being under warranty is a good thing. I just...

The 1300GS will be my 4th GS since 2016 and each one has been better than the previous one and I am sure this one will keep the trend going.I have ridden sports bikes most of my 50 year riding career and I have really wondered why I did not start adventure touring much earlier.I have really...

Well I ordered a new 1300 GS today to replace my 22 1250GSA.I ordered the green one with all the boxes ticked.I really like the changes they have done and will eliminate a few things that I dislike about the GSA .I will do light off roading but my main thing is long distance touring which by GSA...

I was underwhelmed by the event for a few reasons.Maybe its my age but I found it way too loud for me as I could not carry on a conversation with friends that I ran into.I left at 8 to meet up with Wife to have an anniversary dinner and I do not think any of the bikes were uncovered by that...

Yep I am going!

I went today at opening.It’s a small show without the 4 manufacturers but it is a good show.Really enjoyed the Adventure area with a lot of good info being garnered during my visit there.I was quite surprised at how good the attendees was today.

Not many vendors there at all.This show is more about Harley’s than anything else.The good thing is that I ran into people that that I have not seen for a while.

Here is a current video of the TT road conditions.

Rode Southwood yesterday and it was much better than I remembered it being about 15 years ago.Yeah it is still rough in spots and dirty in a few corners but still a lot of fun to ride.Biggest issue was lots of traffic and little bit of construction near the top. Also rode Pennisula Road to...

Here is a great video of the power plant tour.We did it in 19 and it was great.

All my GS and GSA’s have been low suspension versions and if you need more turn clearance and want it turn better just crank up the rear ride height by the electronic preload adjustment.Pretty easy and for the most part staying with so called sporty bikes is not an issue.I have had a VFR in my...

The modern GS’s are far from being soft lazy handling bikes with the adaptive suspension and different riding modes.In dynamic pro you can back off the ABS,adjust the throttle reponse,engine braking,wheelie control,Shock damping.Yes it’s not a sport bike but pretty dam good and a 1000+ km day is...

Here is a video that really explains why the modern Adventure bikes are so good.

We I am pretty well versed on this one as I just completed a 5512 km ride to the Gaspe and Cape Breton on my new 1250 GSA with 3 other ADV bikes.I have had many other bikes over my 40 + years of riding and the AdV bikes suit my modern riding needs so well. On our ride the fun roads for the most...

I am doing the Cabot trail at the end of June.We have planned for 10 or 11 days and will also be doing the Gaspe and PEI where we will hang out for a couple of days and then off to Nova Scotia and the Cabot Trail. We have our rooms all booked and are being somewhat ambitious in the the length...

My starter has more torque!lol

I am on my 3rd R1200-50 and I have found my comfort zone in motorcycling after 47 years of riding after owning many different styles of bikes.I do not do my own servicing anymore so the dealership experience is a big part of the ownership process for myself.I remember the terrible interactions...
