My BMW GS Writing Adventure Partner

Over the few years, I have spent much of my free time working on my science fiction book series, called Genesis. During this time, I have spent hours developing characters, researching and then inventing new technologies. Once that is done, I’ve created new worlds in our galaxy and beyond. But my greatest asset for writing inspiration has been my BMW R1200GS motorbike that I have used to explore the United Kingdom. For me, writing is my relaxation, it’s my escape and it allows my human imagination to run wild in space and time. Creative writing allows me to think and dream about the infinite possibilities that the human race may have to face one day. But now I’m writing them,  it’s a lot of fun. My BMW R1200GS motorbike has also become my personnel time machine and I’m always riding towards the future and looking back at the past.

Writing Adventure.

But for the last 18 months, my BMW riding exploration has been curtailed because of the Covid19 pandemic that has crippled the world. But Covid19 has also accelerated the predicted structural changes across our homeworld. Today, many people now work from home, so the road and rail networks are quieter and the town centres have changed forever. The expansion of the internet and online activities will continue to grow as global connectivity has allowed family, friends and businesses to adapt to changing times. This structural change was always coming and we can`t go back in time. All of this was predicted in many different science fiction novels over the last century. During the evenings, I’ve continued to work on my science fiction series called Genesis.

Writing

Exploring the United Kingdom on a motorcycle has opened my eyes to how beautiful the local landscapes are. Riding along the country lanes allows you to see everything and, in some ways, you’re riding through history. During these trips, I’ve seen hand-engraved, roadside milestones that date back to Roman times. I`ve also seen ancient stone buildings that’s have survived for centuries and I’ve often wondered what stories those buildings could tell. So, when I stop and raise my visor, I can smell the crisp, clean country air and listen to the trees rustling in the morning silence. Riding a motorcycle does allow you to explore remote locations.

 

I like to make my writing as believable as possible. Maybe, my new story is an account of something that’s happened and the organization in my novel actually exists, who knows, but that`s for the reader to decide. My science fiction writing adventure tour will soon resume and I will be exploring new locations on something new, something borrowed and not blue.

My New BMW GS Motorcycle.

Writing

But after three years, the time has come to replace my trusted BMW R1200GS TE Exclusive with something larger, taller and even more practical. I need a new bike that will suit my tall frame and gives me better weather protection. So, after a few test rides, I have decided that my new motorbike will be the BMW R1250GSA Triple Black.  For me, the BMW R1250GSA motorcycle is an amazing piece of technology, I love the way it looks and its go anywhere appeal.  Oddly enough, the BMW GS range also reminds me of the USAF Stealth Fighter F-117 nighthawk with its faceted airframe and sensor laden, beak style nose.  (My BMW blog).

Historically, I have spent a lot of time working and vacationing abroad. But over the last 15 years, i have travelled to many difference countries in Europe, Asia and North America. During these trips, i have lived in either tents, hotels or villas and have visited historical, cultural and technology centres including NASA. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet some really interesting people during my adventures.

Writing

I`ve gone off the idea of flying for lots of reasons, plus, the idea of checking in and then waiting for hours to board actually puts me off international travel. Then, there is Brexit, which is a sad day in global history. It’s the first trade deal in history to raise barriers to common sense. The politicians, who promoted it were simply thinking of their own interests and not yours.

When it comes to my environmental interests, my new BMW R1250GSA bike will also be greener that my current BMW GS.  As I work from home, I don’t really need to drive and my car has become a metal ornament that shines in the light of day.

Future Writing and touring destinations.

Well, I am already planning my return to Scotland and completing the North Coast 500. In the past, I have driven around the stunning coastline of Scotland many times and I have always been impressed by the stunning Scottish mountains ranges, lochs and tree lined valleys and the warm culture that spans this amazing country. One of my favourite locations in Scotland is Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park as the views along the A82 are literally out of this world.

In 2022, I will also be riding to Wales where I will be completing the new Snowdonia360 tour, which will be my first ever visit to Wales.  My motorbike is the perfect machine for long-range touring machine as you can see, feel and smell so much more of the local scenery.

Personnel Conclusion

This is my second personnel blog that I’ve written about my BMW GS motorcycle. When I worked aboard, I rode various other motorcycles including Harley Davidsons, Yamaha and Hondas. These were all great bikes, but they didn’t meet my personnel needs and that’s why I originally chose the BMW R1200GS when I returned to the UK.

The new BMW R1250GSA is a massive improvement over my current BMW GS motorcycle, this new motorcycle handles better, rides better, larger fuel tank and it’s equipped with some exciting new technology including a new adaptive headlight, heated seats and even an eco-mode for the BMW legendary boxer engine.  For me, the new BMW R1250GSA Triple Black is the ultimate writing adventure motorcycle.

Remember, always be safe, ride safe and protect our environment, we only have one planet, we have to protect it.
