The 2021 season – return to a passion

Posted on December 9, 2020February 22, 2021 by Knut Meyn 9 Comments

The 2021 (motorcycle) season is still months away (here). Many look forward to spring. Forward to, hopefully, some normality. How normal the year of 2021 and season will be, largely depends on us, the citizens. On the nations of the world. Vaccines may help, especially if people take them. Equally, following guidelines helps, a lot….read more>>

Shit happens, sometimes in the right places

Posted on April 13, 2020April 20, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Shit happens, sometimes in the right places. This is (also) a truth and, as it were, a truth I much prefer when shit does happen. So Monday April 6th the motorcycle season was supposed to start for me. A little late compared to last year. But those who wait for something good never wait in…read more>>

Hearing protection, loss of hearing or Tinnitus

Posted on January 25, 2020October 9, 2020 by Knut Meyn 3 Comments

Hearing protection is a must if you’re riding a motorcycle. The consequences of no or poor protection can be serious and long, or life lasting. Hearing protection should never be ignored. if you work in noisy environments, you probably know this very well. Take no risks. Sustained sound/sonic pressure can cause life-long damages. Or reduced…read more>>

Air filters – all that glitters is not gold

Posted on December 5, 2019November 4, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Air filters do a very crucial job, that’s a no-brainer. You don’t need deep insight to realize the air filtration system also require frequent attention. The norm is to change air filter at service intervals for your motorcycle. But if you ride offroad, on gravel or dirt, it might be sensible to inspect more frequently….read more>>

Going east, 2019 Summer adventure, day 13

Posted on October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 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>>

10 000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure

Posted on July 21, 2019December 1, 2020 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

10.000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure. That’s the status to date. I am every bit as satisfied as I was after the first impressions. Recently I was out riding on gravel again. No other tires I’ve had on my 2016 BMW R1200GS Adventure have felt this good around 10 000 kilometers. Some of the tires…read more>>

Anakee Adventure, gravel, dirt and offroad review

Posted on April 29, 2019April 5, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Anakee Adventure by Michelin is a dual sport tire. Designed for pavement as well as riding off the beaten track, on gravel, dirt and offroad. That is the claim, and so says reviews I’d seen prior to acquiring a set . Being a 80/20, or 80 percent on-road and 20 percent offroad, I was excited…read more>>

Michelin Anakee Adventure review & first impressions

Posted on April 18, 2019April 13, 2020 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

Michelin Anakee Adventure was introduced early 2019. As the first reviews came out it became evident Anakee Adventure was a tire to be reckoned with. But how good are they? Naturally I had to find out.  The tires from last year were almost done. So my BMW R1200GS Adventure was fitted with a set of…read more>>

Reminiscing & consuming, a fools tale

Posted on April 11, 2019April 11, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Reminiscing & consuming.   A few days ago a friend shared some links to prog rock music not heard in ages. That sent me into a musical reminiscing mode. One particular song but it did not end there, thankfully. More about that shortly. On second thought, maybe not so shortly. A package from Chinesia Fast forward…read more>>

Modern engineering, not meant to last?

Posted on April 7, 2019April 8, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Modern engineering might be clever, but often not solid. Modern engineering is about cost efficiency, to save material or allow use of cheap material. The statement is founded on experiences made in recent time. I am referring to experiences made June 2018, when I had my motorcycle incident in Germany. Read about the details here…read more>>
