Keeping this thing within the speed limits was hard work!
What a machine the S1000R! I hated the sound when idling but its not bad when going up the gears accelerating ๐

What locations are there in your bucket list?
For me it was Nordkapp!
I have been dreaming of coming here for years and the moment was finally here! These are some of the last km of my trip to Nordkapp taking part in the Paris to Nordkapp adventure!

A few years ago, I used to have a R1200R LC, so I thought it was about time I tried the new R1300R.
I used to like the R as it was a gentleman's naked bike that you could have fun with, tour, commute... The new R has moved into the roadster concept. The bike is now smaller, more compact, more aggressive... It is a great bike if you want to have fun around the bends but it is not the R I remember.
Have you ridden it? Do you own one? What are your thoughts? ๐ค

I am so glad these guys were driving through!
I almost dislocated my knee a couple of weeks before my trip and I clearly hadnโt recovered at this point ๐
While getting off the bike (on the other side as I couldnโt get off the other way) my knee cracked and just lost all its strength. Thankfully these guys kindly stopped and helped me lift my bike.
*No bikes were harmed in the making of this video ๐คฃ
The @outback_motortek crashbars and @loneridergear took the hit without suffering any damage!
If you know them, tag them โค๏ธ

What is your must have tool?
Since my big trip to Nordkapp where I found myself forced to work on my bike, I have been getting braver and braver. For others they may be routine things but for some of us doing small work on our bikes can be daunting! This is why I am so paranoid about torque settings.
Recently, I saw a few people using MoveCrab tools. I didn't know about them but after some research they looked great. The specifications and accuracy are well over the standards so I thought I would give them a try!

What is best bike you have ever owned?
For me, it's the F900GS. A true do it all adventure bike. This bike has taken me on road and off road the the most Northern point in Europe and back home with no issues. And no, a bent wheel doesn't count as that was my own doing ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

What are your favourite top 3 roads?
I keep thinking about the Route of the 3 Valleys in La Rioja! I think it has it all! Mountain passes, nice views, nice flowing roads and good food! Hotel La Venta de Goyo is the perfect mid-route stop for some food or for an overnight stop if you have come from far!

What's your go-to ADV luggage setup?
I have covered over 10,000 miles using the LoneRider ADVBags 70 just this year. From weekend trips around the UK to the Paris-Nordkapp rally across 10 countries and reaching Nordkapp. These bags haven't disappointed me, they have endured everything I have thrown at them and more!
