2013 K1600GTL

What can I write that hasn’t already been written about this bike?  It’s amazing.  I have owned several bikes (Goldwing, Yamaha FJR, BMW K1200LT, numerous others) and it is, hands down, the best all-around street/road bike I have ever ridden.  I’ll provide the specs. in a separate post.

 

 VALENTINE ONE

One of the best radar detectors money can buy.  It will be interesting to compare my detector to dad’s (escort).  I’ll update the Blog with comparisons as we travel.  Any bets of who will get the first speeding ticket?  the safe money is on Dad. ;0)

SCHUBERTH C3

Modular helmet that I’ve had for 2 years…a bit pricey but well worth it.  Very light, moves air well in hot weather, great field of vision and pretty much fits true to size,  probably best for oval shaped heads.

ROKKER JEANS

Waterproof jeans…what?  I’ll update the post after I have a chance to ride in the rain.  So far they’re great, fit similar to Levis 501s, the scholer dynotech material is a sort of phase change material and I have found it comfortable in a wide range of temperatures.  The D30 armor is pliable and very comfortable.

BMW Motorrad

Jacket comes with a waterproof (gortex?) liner.  Without the liner it is extremely comfortable and moves a lot of air.  The D30 armor is comfortable and the fit/finish is what you would expect from Motorrad.  I’ve had the Jacket for almost 2 years and it has held together fairly well.

AIRHAWK R

I just got this seat and I’ll be trying it out for the first time on our trip.  I’ll update the Blog as I gain experience with it…I’ve read a lot of great reviews.

BMR Co-PILOT This is a new shelf I bought for the trip.  I’ll update the Blog as I gain experience with its use.
