RE: Adventure motorcycle travel
John,

I've had my BMW 1100GS since '95. Love the bike but it's really a handful on anything rougher than hard packed surfaces. It's a road machine at heart, but certainly good on stone roads and hard packed side roads; it's not really a trail bike. Once I was riding south on Highway One on the coast of California. I parked in a couple of inches of sand and I was lucky to get it out! It just kept digging deeper and deeper! LOL! Whoop-de-doos are a real workout; jumps or air... forget it! Ha! I love the bike on hard packed surfaces and for paved roads! For more technical off-road riding I'd opt for something about half the weight!
