When I first saw this bike on the web I was like hmmmmmmmmmmm interesting. Riding a lighter less complicated single cylinder bike that might be able to handle ADV touring is really appealing in some regards. I mean how many of us have wished we had a lighter bike when we get ourselves into certain…
Maybe this bike the R1200GS rather the 1200GSA is a direct comparison to the new Triumph Tiger Explorer. Perhaps Triumph will release an Adventure package with their new 1200cc bike like BMW. In any case, here is the new 2012 BMW and it will be interesting to see what happens in the BIG ADV bike…
So, nothing too new here either for the BMW F800GS. That might not be such a bad thing for the F800GS die hard out there. No changes except colour choices and some options. Like I have said we will be in the market for new bikes next year. We were really hoping BMW would update…
Is this true that BMW has only added one different colour for their F650GS bikes in 2012? SUN YELLOW with a $300 package? As well as still offering Biarritz Blue and White Aluminum? 2012 F 650 GS (MSRP: $10,155*) Info from BMW San Francisco 2012 F650GS Sun Yellow (color N92) 2012 F650GS White Aluminum Metallic…

Notice the ground clearance, the 950W generator….the more I read the more this really sounds interesting. Now what do folks think the price point will be for a full load or base model? Oh don’t take offense guys but why is it that companies always use a guy on their bikes as the “models”? I…
What do you think? Comments? Let the competition continue. Triumph has indeed revealed their new Tiger 1200cc shaft driven bike. Sounds awesome and looks great too. Just like the 800 Tiger this new 1200 is aimed at the BMW 1200GS and Super Tenere. Competition is great and Cheryl and I are excited to see if…
Here are a few pictures of Cheryl installing our Jesse Safari panniers on Cheryl’s BMW when we first got her bike in December 2009. We are fans of the Jesse luggage system because of its lean profile and no drag effect on our bikes. We used Jesse Odyssey panniers on the Triumph Tiger 800 XC…
Riding bikes is not the only addiction I have….Leslie that is…there is my LOVE for wildlife! Each year up in Churchill, Manitoba beginning in October the Polar Bears come out waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze over so they can go out and hunt. Polar Bears are very hungry after the summer and hang…

Truly an amazing Story! Cathy Birchall & Bernard Smith’s Website Occasionally a truly inspirational story challenges people to question their own boundaries. This is one such case as Cathy Birchall set out on a yearlong motorcycle adventure to circle the world with her companion Bernard Smith. However, what makes this event truly extraordinary is the…
Both Cheryl and I are thinking a trip to Flagstaff, Arizona should be one of our trips next year. This Expo seems like a great opportunity to not only meet many very experienced ADV riders, but to take classes in DS riding, see new equipment, learn about making better videos, outdoor camping/cooking and a whole…
