Howdy folks, I need your help! I've been wanting to get an old W123 Mercedes diesel for ages, but I'd have to get rid of the BMW R1200GSA. Should I swap the bike for an old Merc or not? Obviously, the plan is to feature whichever one I keep here on the channel. I am split 50/50, so it comes down to what you'd prefer to see. Cheers, Francois #MercW123 #BMWR1200GSA #W123
I just fitted a 14 year old Metzeler Karoo… lets see what happens!
Good life in Vilankulos🇲🇿🍻
All packed for Mozambique! I started filming a video with the BMW R1200GSA, but ran out of time editing it. More vids to come when we return! Who knows, maybe even something on the Moz trip ;) Cheers, Francois
I am not sure if anyone ever reads these posts, but I am about to change the name of my channel in the next few days. If you have any opinions on this, please share it here. I always value your input! To make it easy, I've created a poll. Go on, pick one. I won't be offended :)
I took the 2006 BMW R1200GS Adventure on it's first ride in the dirt this morning. My GoPro was set a bit low, so I didnt' publish the video. I also made some very annoying noises into the mic 😅 I'll redo it at some point and publish it. Filming is hard! Here's the unedited version: https://youtu.be/Y_SK7ttVqVk #r1200gsa #r1200gsadventure #r1200gsaoffroad
'New' 17-year old bike bought. Tomorrow morning starts the 1200 mile trek back home. All will be revealed in the next video ;)
I've finally decided to create a Facebook page. I might regret this, but it is a nice way for you guys to get hold of me. Please go check it out here: www.facebook.com/adventurebiketroop
I played around in the dirt with the #Norden901 this morning and got some great footage for future vids. This bike is insane!
I need your advice please! Which bike would you most like to see a whole lot of videos on in 2023? I am going to run a few more of these polls with random bikes on my shortlist as I want to get a bike that will get the most views on YouTube... Thanks for the support! Cheers, Francois
Grease and Gravel (formerly Adventure Bike Troop) is a channel I starter along with my website (www.adventurebiketroop.com) on anything related to dual sport and adventure bikes. The aim of the site is to be a helpful resource to anyone that is new to adventure bike riding.
We have extensively traveled on dual sport motorcycles, including a 3-month trip from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt.
