Adventures Guaranteed

New Photos & Videos

Two new pages have been added to the site in the last couple of days. First up is a page of photos taken “up at the field“. These were taken on 20th Febraury by Shane. We were playing around in some fields we’ve got permission to use during the winter. Lots of power slides, mud ruts and….. mmmmmm, fresh farm slurry!!! Hopefully it wont be long until we’re able to get knobblies and a new clutch lever on the Pegaso to have more fun up there.

The second new page, which I’ve just added myself (as Dave is too much of a lazy git to do it himself!) is a set of three videos that provide historical guide and homage to the BMW GS bikes. The current design of GS bikes is so improbable that it could never create from scratch with modern materials and design principles, and yet every adventure bike out there is rated against the BMW GS series. To understand wonder of the GS you have to understand where it came from…. so go watch the videos already!

Aidy has been riding motorbikes since just after he left university in 2003. His first bike was a 1988 Suzuki GSX-R750 bought for £1000. His second bike was a Suzuki GSF600 Bandit, bought for his adventure to Norway in 2005. Two years later he sold the Bandit to Shane (for him to learn on) and upgrade to a BMW R1200GS... which was promptly trashed one month later by a SMIDSY. Having had the R1200GS repaired, Aidy has spent the next three years giving it a damn good thrashing off-road. 2011 saw the R1200GS take to the remote tracks and desert pistes of Morocco... it managed to keep up with the 650 enduro bikes that make up the rest of the group and made it back to Guernsey in (mostly) one piece. In January 2012, he traded in the R1200GS for a new R1200GS Adventure, planning to use the Pegaso 650 for off-road racing. However, the lure of smaller enduro bikes proved too strong and in April 2012 purchased a BMS G450X
