Old Timer - New to BMW
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2024 12:47 pm
So like many others I am an old time biker. First bike was a Honda CB250 - (told you I was older) - first tourer was a Kawasaki GTR 1000 which used to do a regular trip to see my girlfriend / fiancée / wife - Wirral, Merseyside to Vaxjo Sweden via, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden.
Longest Trip, on a Yamaha XT 350 - England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Egypt, Sudan, bit of a war happening so - then cargo flight to Pakistan (had to miss the Gulf States inconvenient war happening).
Pakistan. Kashmir and finally India - finally shipped bike back to UK from Delhi after 3 months travelling in India. Total trip was 14 months...! Most of it camping.
Various other bikes since then including a smattering of Harleys as I got older - then a break for several years and now on a 2013 R1200RT - which I am using for commuting from N Wales down to London every week or so.
Will be interesting to see what breaks or wears out first first.
