2019 MC Adventures

Return north, 2019 Summer adventure, day 16-18

Posted on November 24, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Return north was the next planned move. The adventure was coming to an end. But before the end, 3 days worth of riding, through Germany, Denmark and Sweden. I could have done the journey in two days with relative ease. But it would mean 5-600 kilometers a day. I’ve done much longer legs, with lots…read more>>

Harz Mountains, 2019 Summer adventure, day 15

Posted on November 1, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Harz Mountains, hills, woods, and a plethora of great roads. That was on the menu for the day, preceded by the breakfast menu which by the way was equally diverse. Got out around the usual time, not too early, not too late. Outside the air was warming up quickly. As the weather forecast indicated, the…read more>>

Through Germany, 2019 Summer adventure, day 14

Posted on October 27, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Through Germany to the Harz mountains, that was the plan of the day.  Which meant between 5-600 kilometers riding, depending on the small roads. One of the many great features of the BMW R1200GS & GS Adventure models is the riding comfort. I like the effortless, relaxed,  no-stress, almost docile way these motorcycles get down…read more>>

Going east, 2019 Summer adventure, day 13

Posted on October 20, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Going east never was a part of my plans. But as the weather forecast brought news of a heatwave in France I had to, regrettably, drop the French Alps. Sometimes in life, well maybe a little more often than sometimes,  things don’t turn out as you’d hoped.  When it happens one just have to improvise,…read more>>

Folkestone & folly, 2019 Summer adventure, day 12

Posted on October 7, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Folkestone was my next destination. An overnight stay, then southeast into & through France. Didn’t happen, but mistakes & shit certainly happened! Before going to Folkestone, and my (almost) last miles on British soil, I had decided to ride into Oxford. Over the course of the past 4 decades I’ve been in England more times…read more>>

Mid Wales & Oxford, 2019 Summer adventure, day 11

Posted on October 5, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

Mid Wales, Elan Valley, South Wales and then Oxford. That was my “plan” for the day. Rough ideas would probably be a better fit.  Got up not too early and had a good English breakfast at Brigands Inn.  The sort of good English breakfast that might be perceived as a direct opposite of a healthy…read more>>

Wales, 2019 Summer adventure, day 10

Posted on September 29, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Wales was my next goal. I had seen a lot pictures, read a lot about Wales, the beauty of the landscape.  Finally it was my turn to experience the region. Left Liverpool in the morning, at first it looked like the weather was clearing up, but my hope quickly waned. Soon enough it started to…read more>>

Westward, 2019 Summer adventure, day 7-9

Posted on September 19, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Westward was the next plan. From Doncaster on small roads, for a while, to Liverpool where I was going to spend some days with friends. The first half of the leg I was escorted by Dave and Mick. They were up for a ride, it was Saturday and excellent weather. I should mention they’ve done…read more>>

Yorkshire bimbling, 2019 Summer adventure, day 5-6

Posted on September 8, 2019November 1, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Yorkshire was an interesting and pleasant experience. Much thanks to my friend Dave who guided me around on many cool roads. A Yorkshire (& proper) English breakfast Had it coming. Had to have it. I am sort of weak for a real English breakfast. But not necessarily the tomatoes. Because Dave had made a remark…read more>>

Hilltop & England, 2019 Summer adventure, day 4

Posted on September 2, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Hilltop Motorcycles in Hinckley was the first destination of the day. Primarily a ride on English motorways, a good way to get used to left hand riding.  I’d never ridden or driven in England before this trip. I’ve been in the country many times, as a passenger, or used trains and buses. Riding on the…read more>>
