Staat te pronken op de cover van de Motorrijder Allroad Special: de nieuwe BMW R 1300 GS. Niet geheel ontoevallig is in deze aflevering Piet Lievens te gast; als voormalig BMW-concessiehouder, Benelux-verdeler van Touratech, BMW Motorrad offroad-rijinstructeur en reisbegeleider bij Uvuyo de geknipte persoon om de GS en bij uitbreiding het volledige allroad-segment te fileren. Uiteraard gaat het over de looks van de nieuwe BMW hoogpoter, maar Piet laat ook zijn licht schijnen op de technologische vernieuwingen en is er rotsvast van overtuigd dat de R 1300 GS slechts een tussenstap is op weg naar nog veel meer technologie. Geen aflevering van de Motorrijder podcast - nog steeds met de steun van Richa, Dunlop, Shoei en Michelin - zonder sterke verhalen en deze keer gaat het logischerwijs over stomme stoten die zich op het onverhard afspelen. Veel luisterplezier!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this podcast episode, we talk about the Touratech Rally and testing the Harley-Davidson Pan America. The Touratech Rally is an annual adventure motorcycle rally held in Plain, WA, and is organized by Touratech USA, a well-known manufacturer, and distributor of adventure motorcycle equipment and accessories. The Touratech Rally provides a great opportunity for adventure motorcyclists and enthusiasts to come together, share experiences, attend workshops, and participate in various activities related to adventure riding. The rally typically features guided rides, skills clinics, camping, vendor displays, and product demonstrations. Participants have the chance to explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest region's scenic backroads and off-road trails, offering a fantastic backdrop for adventure riding. Riders can meet like-minded individuals, get inspired by seasoned adventurers, and learn from experts in the field during the event. Since event details may change from year to year, it's essential to check the official Touratech USA website or other reliable sources for the most current information on the Touratech Rally in Plain, WA, if it is still being held after my last update. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Harley-Davidson wanted to fly me down to Mojave earlier in the year to get me back on the Pan America. As it turned out, we already planned to go to the Touratech Rally. Harley had a fleet of demo bikes there and they hooked me up with one for the day. I had the opportunity to talk with Terry Rumpel who is the Engineering Manager for the Pan America. I also was lucky enough to go out for part of the day with Justin Cleiter who is the Touring Manager for the Pan America. Now that is a great job! Check out my video on my review of the Pan America after two years of being in the wild. You can watch the video HERE. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, what is my prediction for the future of the Pan America? I have to preface this by saying that I have no inside information related to my prediction. I'm basing my prediction based on my knowledge of the motorcycle industry and the fact that the mid-weight adventure motorcycle market is blowing up. My prediction is that Harley will come out with a mid-weight Pan America in the near future! Perhaps with the Revolution Max 975. We will see...

On the program this week part one of our conversation with the founder of GlobeRiders and a trail blazer in putting the r80 g/s on the adventure bike map, Helge Pedersen. Along with Ed Culberson, Helge was on the vanguard in establishing what was the “new” R80 G/S as a true adventure motorcycle, pushing man and machine to the limits thru the Darien Gap. Helge's book "10 Years on 2 Wheels" recounts that journey and is available thru Touratech. We caught up with Helge in early 2023 as he was making preparations for his last tour with GlobeRiders, a company he started over 20 years ago. email us directly: airheads247@hotmail.com Join the BMW MOA free with our digital membership promotion: Visit 247.bmwmoa.org and use the code airheads247 to register for a FREE one year digital membership.

Steve Kamrad is a passionate motorcycle rider who spends most weekends competing in a variety of hare scramble or hare and hound style races. For many of the races, Steve competes in the ADV or Hooligan class on either his Scrambler 1200 XE or Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Steve's also earned a reputation of being a credible freelance AVD bike journalist, giving honest feedback on the latest adventure style motorcycles via published articles or in-depth YouTube videos. While in Portugal to review the all-new Tiger 1200 family, Steve found time to squeeze in an interview where he details his path to racing as an adult, which should inspire anyone who's ever dreamt of racing to take some training and give it a go.

Hallo, heute gibt es den nächsten Podcast und dieses Mal direkt aus dem Motorradhelm. Ein „Motocast“ sozusagen bei dem ich euch mit auf eine Fahrt über den Klausenpass in der Schweiz nehme. Nebenbei erzähle ich euch von meinen ersten Eindrücken mit Maja – der GS1200 von Touratech. Das war für mich der erste „Live“-Mitschnitt direkt beim Fahren und ich war mir gar nicht sicher ob mein Headset und auch die Helmkamera überhaupt für solch lange Zeit durchhält. Beides hat geklappt und somit findet ihr in dem Video nicht nur viel Kurvenspaß, sondern auch jede Menge Informationen zum Motorrad und auch noch einmal einen Vorausblick auf mein momentanes Projekt „Entlang Grenzen“ – welches die Reise durch das südliche Europa beschreibt. weiterlesen...

Hinter Motorradreise TV stecken die Canan Gündogan und Stefan Klabunde. Wir besuchten die beiden Medienmacher und sprachen über die Anfänge der Youtube-Sendung, über das Motorrad fahren und die Entwicklung vom Hobby zur eigenen Firma. Mittlerweile produzieren sie unter der Marke "Rugged Frames" professionelle Videos für Kunden aus der Motorrad Szene. Wie Stefan und Canan die Insolvenz von Touratech traf und wie sie zwischen Thailand, Spanien und dem Bergischen Land auch als Paar ihr Leben und Arbeiten organisieren erzählen die beiden in diesem Podcast. Mehr dazu unter www.pegasoreise.de
Touratech ist insolvent! Diese Nachricht erschütterte im August 2017 die Motorradreise-Szene. Die Geschäfte liefen zwar weiter doch der nächste Hammer kam zum Jahresende: Herbert Schwarz, Gründer, Geschäftsführer und Gallionsfigur des erfolgreichen Zubehörherstellers steigt aus. Genauer gesagt: Er wurde ausgestiegen. Im Interview erzählt Herbert, wie die Touratech Geschichte in den 90er Jahren begann, wie aus einer Leidenschaft ein großes Unternehmen wurde, wie plötzlich das Ende kam und welche Pläne er nun hat. Denn die Geschichte von Herbert Schwarz geht weiter. Er hat viele Ideen, Inspirationen und wird auch zukünftig in der Motorradreiseszene aktiv sein.

Hello everybody and welcome to Front End Chatter #63, brought to you by the definitely-not-primates at Bike Social (that's www.bikesocial.co.uk where, as well as all the latest news, views and reviews of all things motorcycling, you'll also find a handy link to the superb insurance services of Bennetts). In this not-especially-numerically-significant episode of Britain's best biking podcast, Simon and Martin chatter about: MotoGP from Austria, where someone cleared off for a bit, then there was a bit of a ding-dong and someone won and someone didn't, and there was a last-lap, last-corner, last-gasp move that was actually just a bit silly even though nobody seems to want to say it (except the bloke who won). British Superbikes from Cadwell Park, which neither of us watched even though one of us was actually there, and which turned out to be pretty brilliant. The new 158bhp BMW road bike that we've both ridden but only one of us can talk about. Touratech going insolvent, which is all very curious given almost everyone seems to be riding an adventure bikes these days. Plus all of your emails - sent to anything@frontendchatter.com - including whether Triumph's new Street Triple 765 RS lives up to the hype, how to survive a group ride with complete strangers, the interweb going crazy over the GS fork recall and the reality of the situation from an owner, Sprint ST vs a Glasgow winter, whether you can tell if someone's riding style is "outright dangerous" from a photo, and plenty more. Thank you very much for listening (hopefully through www.bikesocial.co.uk if you'd like to kindly support the folk who kindly support us). We are, as ever, @SimonHbikes and @Mufga on the Twitter, and eagerly await your thought, opinions, questions and ponderings arriving on email via anything@frontendchatter.com (yes, literally anything). Ta-ta for now!
Episode 2 features a discussion with Tina Venters, who competed in (and finished!) the Iron Butt Rally in 2017. We also discuss industry news about Touratech AG, Cameron Beaubier, Triumph's new partner, new land speed records and Indian's new Wrecking Crew.

Our guests today are Delvene Manning with the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials and Bill Woods of Sodium Distortion. We're talking Land Speed Racing and how you can play a part in it even if you don't want to race yourself. Another new year has arrived, but last month brought forth more news than you can shake an empty champagne bottle at. It's a light calendar which leaves us more time for our interviewees. And of course, we close with some interesting tips and tricks. Cheers!
July Behl - Madagascar Adventure July Behl, was one of the six finalists for the United People of Adventure project organized by Touratech, with their initiative being to unite riders from different continents, cultures and speaking different languages, through their love of adventure motorcycling and travel. July found riding in Madagascar incredibly exciting, experiencing "gnarly roads to deep sand, broken bridges to unforgiving ruts, extreme heat to torrential rain, mad foreigners to slightly confused locals". He connected with his fellow riders saying "the people, everyone and I mean everyone was just brilliant - helpful, kind, considerate and always there for each other". It's a trip he won't ever forget, and would do again in a heartbeat.

Ramona SchwartzBorn in East Germany, travel writer and photographer Ramona Schwartz grew up under Communist dictatorship and only knew freedom when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. She railed against a conventional life style, living the typical rat race many of us do. And when presented with the opportunity to travel around the world on a motorcycle, she jumped at the chance. First she learned to ride a motorcycle and then she set off with her boyfriend on a KTM and didn’t look back. She travelled for 6 years around the world, and to this day is still adventuring with her husband, Herbert with two kids in tow in the side car.Facebook: www.facebook.com/ramona.touratechSee some of Ramona’s adventures:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=807YCeBpLLYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7b1J52aiWAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVainVblLgEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esb1NFZRIZQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooa8jT7Abughttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRUTziXSOIgShirley Hardy-Rix & Brian RixGet some great travel tips from Shirley & Brian, on their mid trip report from Moscow, Russia, as they travel throughout Europe, having started in Greece to Nordkapp, then Russian and now the Stans.

It did so for quite a few reasons. It has an amazing history Beats the hell out of riding the motorway It’s great fun to ride And I think it’s a route that any visitor to the UK should add to their ‘To Ride’ list. The full 370 mile route was originally laid down by the Romans and it ran from Exeter, way down in the South West, right across England in an almost diagonal line to the city of Lincoln in the North East. Most people know that the Romans were famous for building amazingly straight roads. Sometimes doing so across geography that simply wasn’t straight line friendly and this route certainly isn’t that. Some of the sections are on the original Roman route and some simply run close to it, but all the time you are riding through history and magnificent rolling countryside. The Route? I’m going to take you on a section of the Fosse way which covers roughly a third of the way. Your ride can take you just a few hours but you might want to stretch it into a couple of days; even a week. You’ll be ending your journey in a world famous theatre – if you choose! The ancient Roman city of Bath, or Aquae Sulis , is a great kick off point. The city sits on top of a thermal spring and the Romans developed spa baths. In the Georgian times the healing nature of the waters attracted the rich and so the city developed into a very classy and popular place. Anyway start in Bath, but give yourself a couple of days to explore first. http://visitbath.co.uk/ Ride east on the A4. Then head north onto the A429 near the M4. (The motorway between London and Wales.) You’ll be passing close to the Bury Camp which is a circular Iron Age fort. If you’ve never seen one an Iron Age fort site then it’s worth taking your first detour. The A429 takes you through the old Royal Air Force Airfield at Kemble, towards the city of Cirencester. Cirencester is a really nice small city, which still retains some of the original cobble stone roads. Once, the city was the second largest Roman settlement England. Visit the award winning Corinium Museum as it’ll give you a really good taste of the area you are now riding through. Staying still on the A429, carry on in the north easterly direction towards Fosse Bridge. Just before you get to Fosse Bridge, hang a left and head over to the Chedworth Roman villa site. It’s a fascinating place to wander around. But on with the ride. If you’ve been on the road early then Stow on the Wold makes a great place to stop for lunch. If you are taking your time, it’s also perfect place to stop overnight. You have a stack of ancient and beautiful Cotswold stone hotels and plenty of Bed and Breakfast’s to choose from, and there are camping sites nearby. At one time the Stow on the Wold crossroads made it a natural place to trade goods coming from all over the region – even as far away as Wales. There’s a market there every Thursday but nothing like as big as those of early days. There are two horse fairs - one in May and the other in October. The May fair is the biggest and one of the biggest Gypsy gatherings of its kind in the UK. Next, simply stay on the A429 through Moreton in Marsh until just north of the village of Halford. After Halford you ride onto a minor road, the B4455. This next 45 miles of amazingly straight road takes you just over an hour and a half to ride and includes small but very picturesque villages such as Brinklow. End up at a busy crossroad with the A5. You can carry on towards Leicester on the Fosse Way, but my advice is here is to turn around and do this last section again! From Bath to this turnaround point on the A5, is just 110 miles! If you haven’t stopped anywhere then you’ll have done it in around 3 hours, but I’d lay odds on you stopping quite a few times. My suggestion is that you head back to Halford and then hang a right. 8 miles later, end your ride in Shakespeare’s town, Stratford upon Avon. http://www.visitstratforduponavon.co.uk/ The beauty of this road is that you can ride it the way you want to. You may want to ride it twice! Top tip: Add in some extra time to scoot off and explore some of the small pretty villages that are within a few miles of the Fosse Way.
