Re: computers and bike trip planning imbalance.
My favourite roads and places are my head and I navigate on a day by day basis..... Using co pilot or Maps ME ( better off road) I decide my start and ending points, then drop waypoints so that the GPS takes me the route I want to go.

Re: computers and bike trip planning imbalance.
I would avoid all that Garmin Pfaff and download MapsMe or CoPilot and use on your device of choice.

Re: Max gear weight for soft pannier
Does anyone take any notice of the really low limits put on their bags by BMW.? The limits are there to limit liability, both in terms of what the panniers themselves can take, the rear subframe which takes the load and the effect that carrying 45kgs on the back of your bike might have on handling a...

Re: KTM 790R Adventure price
You can blame Brexit. European bikes are obviously priced in € Japanese bikes built for Europe are also priced in €. When setting price structures for the coming year, the exchange ratio £/€ is a significant factor for the UK market company... They, and the companies that they buy their currency fu...

( a few years ago it was over 1.30). Oh well I have a...

I have been a couple of times with Chris Scott, his trips are based out of Marrakech, in November when the weather is really pleasant in southern Morocco, using rental bikes (usually XR250 Honda’s, but could be BMW 310s this year). This gets you the best of the weather without having to ride across ...

Re: Tips for boarder controls
