Continental TKC 70 Rocks, does it rock?

Posted on March 20, 2023March 22, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Continental TKC 70 Rocks came out, think it was early 2020. A more aggressive, offroad oriented version than TKC70. I decided to try it.  Prices on motorcycle tires was crazy in 2022. Especially in Norway. So much so that I had a little shock when I got the bill on the new Continental set. And…read more>>

Time for a change, time to let it go (?)

Posted on November 2, 2022November 7, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

55 000 kilometers over two 7 months seasons, 65 000 kilometers since new. For a 2019 model that is a “fair bit”? Time for a change, why? Several reasons.  None are related to dissatisfaction with the motorcycle. Rather mileage and second hand value. If you ride a lot, like me, I am sure the situation…read more>>

54 000 kilometers on a KTM 1290SAS (updated)

Posted on October 7, 2022January 28, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

54 000 kilometers ridden since April 2021. Depending on the weather I might pass 55 000 kilometers before it’s over for this year. A 54 000 kilometers status To be quite honest, there’s not a whole lot to report.  Suspension, electronics, engine, gearbox, everything has been working well. No failures, no issues, and no need…read more>>

Silence, but there’s life alright

Posted on July 25, 2022December 2, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Silence it’s good, every so often. Guess I went empty, sort of. That, and summer season never is a high for me writing-wise.  Think I went a bit sour in my pursuit to finish off the story about last year’s escapades. So silence was needed. And that coincided with the beginning of the motorcycle season….read more>>

Aprilia Tuareg 660 (quick) review, it is good!

Posted on May 20, 2022May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Aprilia Tuareg  has received good reviews in the worldwide adventure motorcycle community. May 16th it was my turn to get acquainted with it. When Yamaha Tenerè 700 launched I got to rest ride it pretty early. Truth be told it’s a great motorcycle. However, It lacked, and still in the later incarnation lacks, things I’ve…read more>>

30 000 kilometers on a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S

Posted on April 22, 2022November 3, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

It took about one year to reach 30 000 kilometers on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. Most of those 30 000 kilometers I did last year. Early spring was cold here up north. But right before Easter the odo turned over the 30k mark, in my ownership. I bought the bike on ca 10k…read more>>

10000 kilometers on KTM1290 Super Adventure S

Posted on June 14, 2021November 3, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

10000 kilometers on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S very soon. It has gone fast. I attribute that to it’s comfort, and overall rideability.  It didn’t start out that well. Or, it wasn’t obvious I’d ‘be sold, in the beginning. You can read about first impressions here. I’m not a typical KTM 1290 customer. Just…read more>>

Handlebar risers, controversies & (personal) results

Posted on May 14, 2021May 14, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Handlebar risers is a must for some of us. No motorcycle will fit everyone perfectly, out of the box, from the assembly line. The above is, to me at least, being a taller guy, an inescapable fact. Or,  it has been so far, every time I hop on a new bike. The difference risers can…read more>>

2500 kilometers on KTM1290 Super Adventure S

Posted on April 25, 2021April 30, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

2500 kilometers went quickly, or quicker than I thought. During and right after Easter we had good spring temps so I wasted no time. That did not last. Now we’re down into single digits Celsius. But with proper gear it’s not an issue, gusts or no gusts. It’s been day rides only. The longest this…read more>>

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, first impressions

Posted on April 3, 2021November 3, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is a very different beast from my previous bike. So different it’s almost like comparing apples and oranges.  But compare them I will (attempt), although there are some other variables to factor in. Some variables are related to me. For those who’ve not read previous posts, here are some reasons….read more>>
