Many people doubted this project but I’ve built many systems like this for overland travel on a bike over the last 35 years and they’ve all worked beautifully. The only thing missing (and this is something I’d not done before) was illumination. I often pull into a campsite quite late and by the time I’ve setup camp it’s either dark or getting dark. I have the REDVERZ ATACAMA 2 EXPEDITION MOTORCYCLE TENT and, as such, the […]

We all use our beloved bikes for different purposes. Many purchase a Tenere 700 for hard off-road riding, some for trail riding and others for their daily commute. Mine does a bit of everything but I mostly use it for touring. Some might choose other bikes for long distance hauls but I love the stance and handling of the T700 and it suits me just fine. One thing I’ve wanted to do for a while […]

I absolutely love watching this build take place. Apart from the fact Thomas’ humour fits well with my own, which makes watching these vids a lot of fun, I’m fascinated that someone has the cajones to rip apart a new bike and virtually redesign it from the ground up! And the new design seems to work remarkably well, too! Be sure to give Thomas a like and a sub! If anyone deserves, he does! SUBSCRIBE […]

Unboxing & First Impressions After the maths that compared the cost of these Moto-Teks to the 5 times more expensive Rottweiler Arrow kit, I came across a video by Nomad Sweden. He had purchased a kit from the Netherlands costing 170 Euros ($185 USD or £150 GBP). With shipping and import tax to the UK, you’d once again be around £220-250 GBP. Now take a look at the video from the 3 minute mark: It […]

A plethora of riders have done this before so give me zero credit for this modification. In fact, a member of a forum I’m part of posted something very similar just a few days ago and that post inspired me to do this. A few years ago I purchased 3 MAX PELI style cases and they were and are brilliant. I’ve owned a few actual PELI cases and these MAX cases are just as good at […]

OK, I admit, I was very sceptical to these Cool Covers when someone told me he’d put them on his T700 oak plank seat and found the seat to now be rather comfortable. I didn’t take his advice and instead made a modified Sheepie. The Grenadier Butt Guard, as I named it, was (and is) very good, helped a lot and I was quite happy with it. Roll forward a few months and I needed […]

My son is now 13 and I’m doing my best to introduce him to both the world and the world of adventure bike travel. My ultimate goal will be to do exactly what these two guys are just about to do, a round the world trip on two bikes. 60 Countries, 5 Continents, 100.000kms! I’m going to follow this journey with great interest and can’t wait to one day emulate it with my little man. […]
