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>>

Metzeler Karoo 3, a tire surprise

Posted on November 7, 2021May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Metzeler Karoo 3 have been around for a long time. I’m not quite sure for how long. Took a chance, got a pair,  and was surprised! I did some research and found reviews dating back to 2015 and older. However I am not sure the 2021 model is identical to the first ones. I would…read more>>

Continental TKC 70 review, first months

Posted on September 25, 2021May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Continental TKC 70 tires wasn’t a part of any plan. A change just happened on the return home from this year’s Euro-Adventure (more later). I could have made it home, back to Norway, with the Anakee Adventure tires. But the rear was very worn. Since being in Germany, where tires are cheaper, it made sense…read more>>

10 000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure

Posted on July 21, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

10 000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure. Here are some impressions. In brief, am every bit as satisfied as when I first bought them. Recently I was out riding on gravel again. No other tires I’ve had on my 2016 BMW R1200GS Adventure have felt this good after 10 000 kilometers of abuse. Some of…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>>

Anakee Adventure, gravel, dirt and offroad (re)views

Posted on April 29, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Anakee Adventure 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 to find…read more>>

Michelin Anakee Adventure review & first impressions

Posted on April 18, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

Michelin Anakee Adventure was introduced early 2019. As reviews appeared it seemed evident that Anakee Adventure was a tire to be had. 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 the Anakee Adventure….read more>>

Michelin Sirac review; a tire for allround usage

Posted on March 24, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Michelin Sirac is a great all-round tire for medium size adventure bikes. On pavement, on gravel, dirt, or offroad, it is a good choice.  Michelin Sirac – first experiences Fall 2017 I bought my second motorcycle, a 1995 Honda XL600v Transalp. Decided that I needed something lighter, something for commuting and shorter expeditions. From before…read more>>

MusicCast technologies, solutions, and choice

Posted on January 14, 2019May 20, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

MusicCast systems and solutions exist in plenty. From the inexpensive or cheap, like Chromecast from Google, to the (very) expensive. Somewhere in-between, a choice for me. The starting point For some time I’ve been wanting to have a music-cast or streaming setup for a pair of active speakers (inbuilt amplifier) in our living room. Something…read more>>
