Gretchen

Much as I liked the idea of buying a brand new, all singing, all dancing ADV / Touring bike, I couldn't find one I really thought I could live with, at a price I could afford, so secondhand it would have to be then.  Fortunately, after about a month of serious hunting, I came across a fully equipped 2006 BMW R 1200 GS for sale only a mile from work.  

It is in beautiful condition, well equipped, and only has 26,000 miles on it - just about run-in thank you!  This is her:  



I  fell in love with her, and threw down a deposit on the spot!  I'll be collecting Gretchen from the dealership next week, as soon as I have sorted out secure storage, and the small technicality of actually passing my test!

So this is where my our Motorcycle Adventuring starts!  Please - stay tuned :-)

Barcelona Part 1 (Plymouth to Barcelona)

This trip represents the culmination of an idea that was born at a barbeque two summer's ago;  Scott, myself and Jez standing around the bonfire, drinking beer, smoking cigars, and plotting tours of Europe - despite the fact that only one of us had a bike at the time! And a Harley Davidson 883 Iron isn't really suited to long distance touring....   Within  a month, Scott had bought a 2017 BMW R1200 GS Triple Black, and within 2 months Jez had found his steed, a 2007 R1200 GSA.  When I completed the trio with Gretchen at Christmas, we were all set to do something the following summer. A house move for Jez meant that the original plan was pared back to the previously recorded Ireland trip with Scott.  The following summer, due to pract ical necessity we were down to Jez & myself for the long-delayed continental trip.  Planning was tricky, because the wives wanted in on the adventure, but without the riding!  So we settled on a plan of taking ...

Commuting Week One - Thoughts

So I have now completed my first week of commuting to work on Gretchen, my 2006 BMW R1200GS. Now, I'll be the first to admit, that a big beemer is not the obvious choice for the daily commute.  However, I can only really afford the one bike at this juncture, so I had to choose the bike that would be able to do everything I needed it do do.  Which is commute, occasional shopping, day trips and touring.  Proper, long-distance touring.  I want a bike that can eat 500 miles in a day if I need it to, and carry enough luggage to provision me for a fortnight of touring. However, what about commuting?  Well let's start with the fact that I had never ridden a GS until the morning after I passed my test!  So my first commute, was also my first experience of riding a GS!  And boy, did I find that hard work! After the buttery smoothness of the Honda NC750S that I passed my test on, the gearbox is frankly agricultural.  The clutch lever has a very nar...

Emerald

Then onward over the mountain And outward towards the sea They had come to claim the emerald Without it they could not leave (Emerald - Thin Lizzy) A Bike Camping trip to Ireland wasn't actually our first choice; if the weather and circumstances had allowed us, we would have set out across the Alps towards Venice, taking in some of the famous alpine passes in the Dolomites on the way there, and then the Italian Alps via Lake Como on the way back.  A bit ambitious, some might say!  But dreaming big hasn't gone out of fashion amongst my friends....  However, a combination of available time, a house move (Jez wasn't free to travel), weather window, and (in my case) financial commitments meant we cut back to a simpler, more affordable adventure in Ireland.  And specifically, the dramatic Atlantic coastline of the Kerry Peninsula.   Having watched a handful of videos on YouTube, we were smitten by the visual appeal of the area, and there were a c...
