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?

If you want to...

Mar 26, 2011

6 months after our triumphant return, we have finally remembered to complete the video! This is our longest production yet and we have learnt a lot about what type of footage we need to get on future trips. As you will see, the video elements tail off a little at the end. Either way, it was one hell of a trip so this is a great reminder for...

The Machineart Moto MudSling is a direct replacement for the standard R1200GS rear shock mud guard. It is much larger and when fitted will protect the rear shock, the battery and the ECU from the usual gunk chucked up from the road, trail or, in our case, field! It was super simple to install taking at most 20 minutes. The hardest part of the job was removing...
