Adventures Guaranteed

Posts by Shane

Shane has a hunger for adventure that neither his wallet, free time nor other-half will support. Ever the optimist, after riding a Suzuki Bandit 600 for a few years and completing a Level 1 Advanced course at the "World of BMW" school in Wales he has put his money where is mouth is and invested in a brand new, fully spec'd BMW R1200GS Adventure ("30 Years GS" version). It is planned that this awesome machine will take him round Iceland, help him win the HUMM event and get safely to the beer festival in Germany! So; is Shane ready for the Adventure? I think we need to ask if the Adventure is ready for him?

I have a few things to do before the GS Trophy Qualifier but I’m officially on my way! Hopefully I’ll be able to keep first place till we...

This is a quick post added from an iOS device. It looks great and makes use of all the geo goodness we developed. I guess we will be posting from the road...

An Iceland Qwiki

An Iceland Qwiki

We are in the slow but positive process of organising a trip to Iceland next year. On that theme, I have embedded a Qwiki below with some details about the place we are heading. Enjoy the cool computer generated voice. If it doesn’t appear, try refreshing the page. I had to do that a couple of times! Enjoy!! ...
