BMW 1300 GS, finally my turn to try one

Posted on May 9, 2025May 23, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

BMW 1300 GS was introduced in the first half of 2024. Finally it was my turn to try it out for a couple of hours.  I’ve not been in a hurry to test it. Being in a hurry with buying the newest and latest, whether a motorcycle, a car, or tech stuff, sometimes isn’t the…read more>>

Windscreens and spoilers, a never-ending topic

Posted on April 20, 2025May 6, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Windscreens and spoilers is for some, like myself, a never-ending story. Recent discoveries had me go back to this topic again. Recent discoveries were quickly followed by new theories. Of which some just might actually survive past summer solstice (on the northern hemisphere). But we shall see about that. Summer solstice is, at time of…read more>>

Autumn riding in Norway

Posted on September 29, 2024October 16, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Autumn riding a motorcycle in Norway can be both a joyous, wonderful and bone chilling experience. Be prepared for weather changes! “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing” is a saying here. Many are those who’ve been surprised by the truth to this. Whether one talks of absolute drenching wetness, bitter…read more>>

25000 kilometers on a KTM 890 Adventure – review

Posted on September 27, 2024January 8, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

I did 25000 kilometers on the 2023 KTM 890 Adventure. The bike is no longer in my possession, but that’s not because of issues or problems. The simple truth is, I didn’t have any problems or issues. Or nothing major. Just a few minor things, stuff that could have happened with any motorcycle. I thought…read more>>

Windscreen spoilers, problem solvers or problem makers?

Posted on September 4, 2024April 20, 2025 by Knut Meyn 3 Comments

Windscreen spoilers can at best be one answer to windscreen buffeting and/or wind noise problems. One of many potential solutions. Some would or might say the best is to remove the windscreen completely. Fair point, it could be “the source of many evils”. But unless the motorcycle in question is (specifically) designed to be used…read more>>

KTM cam issues, lack of customer care?

Posted on August 28, 2024September 18, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

KTM cam issues have been “all over the internet” of late. Far too many cases to be a coincidence? Well I’m not one of the unlucky owners.  The statement “all over the internet” is of course not true, although it would be fair to say the case has made enough noise to be something KTM…read more>>

BMW 1250 GS, first 10k kilometers (updated)

Posted on August 2, 2024September 12, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The BMW 1250 GS, bought used early June this year (a 2022 model) has done its first 10k (10 000) kilometers in my ownership.  Mentioned in an earlier post the change from the former bike happened because of need for something more practical while on distance touring. This about practicality is of course highly individual….read more>>

Sudden changes – a new motorcycle (updated)

Posted on June 18, 2024July 5, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

So yeah, Four years since and some days since an accident that also led to a departure from BMW motorcycles in general, and GS/GSA in particular. Since then there has been around 80.000 “orange kilometers”. On two…read more>>

Motorcycle riding and adventures

Posted on March 31, 2024April 20, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Motorcycle riding and adventures is a great way to explore, whether near or far. A bit hard to explain to those who’ve not tried! This post started out to be about motorcycle riding in Europe. Thought to share some tips. But the post evolved into something else. And while it evolved it shifted more and…read more>>

2024 motorcycle season, an early start

Posted on March 28, 2024April 3, 2024 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The 2024 motorcycle season got off to an early start. But in true Norwegian (fake spring) fashion, temporarily ended the day after. Yeah, March 22nd is my earliest season start ever. One day of great weather amidst an otherwise pretty miserable period was enough. Plus a friend had bought a new motorcycle (not the same…read more>>
