  • Very nice video. I understand that those tires are great for the snow. But, how do you deal with the ice on the road. The GS1200 is quite heavy and it has to be difficult to manage on such situation.

    Hi 1guitarlover, it is not as bad as you would think. First, I have studded, knobby tires, without that I wouldnt even try. Then the trick is to keep head and eyes up and let the bike move under you. If you look down or try to manhandle the bike, then it wont stay up. I have an old blog entry about getting the tires here: hakansoderbom dot spaces dot live dot com/blog/cns!26238E197BFD0B01!­1366.entry

  • I have the same bike as you ... a red BMW R1200GS Adventure ... and I love driving my "stud"... he he he!!!

    Greetings from Sweden... *S*

  • Hi @Bowerstone1th

    It is an AWESOME bike! I participated in the Adventure Challenge earlier this year. Check out some unbelievable pictures here: cid-26238e197bfd0b01 dot photos dot live dot com/browse.aspx/Adventure%20Ch­allenge%20and%20GS%20Challenge­%202010. The pictures when I am in the air and the hard landing are just fantastic. (Sorry for the strange link, just replace the "dot"s with real ".")

see all

    Star Wars music? Come on! This is 'O Fortuna' from 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff. One of the most recognizable and widely used pieces of classical music in the world!!

    You're right about the major lack of excitement in the video though...lol

  • @brybish sorry

  • @brybish to answer my own question carmina burana.

  • what was that music? i sould know but.

  • Even with studed tires, that still looks pretty sketchy. You're a braver man than I HS!!

  • lol your numberplate: Seattle "ADV".. thats awesome :P did it cost a lot ?^^ i like ur snow adventures =D

  • @leftcoast67 try the KTM adv a much better bike for things like that....

  • @thecuriouscritic Star Wars? 

  • WOW!

  • Adventure = Riding past the same spot a few times with over-used star wars music?
