BMW R 1300 GS road test

It's Tuesday morning. It is 7 o'clock. I look at the weather forecast. It's rainy from Thursday to Sunday. Now that's cool. How am I gonna test my bike this week? 🤷‍♂️

I took a Mosko-Motos hiking bag. Esther was still drinking her morning coffee. And I told her that you'll have so much space now, fill it up quickly!
He didn't really understand what was going on yet, of course. On Monday, I was saying that we should go out to Austria at the end of the week to get some things and then we could have the BMW materials.

So, spontaneous rescheduling and we were on our way to Croatia. :))))
Well, that's how it works for me, when I have a confused thought...

Fortunately, we both work mostly online, so we did the most essential tasks and online meetings at the motorway service stations during the breaks, and the rest in the evenings from the accommodation.

And how was GS during the all-day trips?

This was clearly designed for 🙂 Let's go for the serpentine, let's go for the track. In fact, some people might be freaked out again, but this cruise control is a good thing when you're on the road all day. You just set the speed limit and it automatically slows down to the speed of the person in front of you. It's especially good for single lane traffic, where you can't overtake, the queue backs up at lower speeds and they're going 78 one minute and 86 the next. 🙂

Let's just say that this little Plexiglas is not really optimal for motoring. At my altitude it was loud, and I'll attach a picture of the passenger helmet, which served as a bug hiding place. 😃
As for the agility of the bike, I was in the Croatian mountains doing a loose serpentine ride and I was pushing a business meeting through the helmet speaker. 😅

Traffic in Croatia was a bit heavy, by the way...

On the way back to Zagreb, the track is jammed for about 100 km. Someone wrote that the boxes are too wide when opened. Well, I had to spend an hour and a half in the traffic jam.

Anyway, I have recently started testing the OutIn Shop mobile / outdoor coffee maker set. It's a thing that has its own battery, heats water and brews your coffee wherever you are.
You can add ground coffee or capsules.
My experience is that capsules are less cumbersome when travelling, but at home I use them for my regular morning coffee. So basically, I can manage my daily routine with this one machine and it takes up much less space than a normal coffee maker in my already cramped kitchen. 🙈
With one filling, if you need to heat the water, you can get about 4-5 servings. If you put hot water in it, you should get 200, but don't ask for authentic test results for the latter 😃

Well everyone, have a good motorcycling, touring and holiday!
This week we have a completely different engine. Details coming soon. 🙂
