BMW 1300 GS, finally my turn to try one

Posted on May 9, 2025May 10, 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>>

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>>

2023 KTM 890 Adventure first impressions

Posted on April 23, 2023December 15, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure was, and still is, a much anticipated incarnation of the already well established 890 platform. Late April 2023 it was my turn to get acquainted. Those of you who have browsed this site, will already know where I come from. I did try alternatives in the category or class, last…read more>>

Handlebar risers, controversies & (personal) results

Posted on May 14, 2021August 9, 2024 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, 2021January 8, 2025 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>>

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>>

2019 BMW S1000XR, a rocket ship with wheels

Posted on May 10, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

2019 BMW S1000XR model is an awesome machine. A rocket ship on two wheels. In the hands of the not too experienced maybe even a tad too frisky? For the older lot, like myself, it’s about a lot more. Like comfort, smoothness, good geometry, excellent ride capabilities, plus power where you need it, when you…read more>>
