Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to work around the world for some very interesting companies. But I’ve always found the time to visit the local motorbike dealers and test ride some of their local models. During these assignments, I have ridden BMW, Honda, Yamaha and Harley Davidson in all types of scenery and weather. My first ever BMW motorcycle was a BMW R1200GS TE Exclusive, which I thought was a brilliant motorcycle. Over the next few years, I explored the United Kingdom from East to West and North to South and managed to avoid most of the big cities. Riding a motorcycle is living the dream and being stuck in traffic is such a waste of time. During these trips, I discovered the bike`s flaws and wished I have chosen the GSA, which is more suited for touring as it has a bigger fuel tank.
