2004 BMW GS1150 Adventure


Our main travel motorcycle is our 2004 BMW R1150GS Adventure. The GS was purchased at Ride West BMW in Seattle, Washington, USA in April 2003. We had the bike extensively modified by the service staff at Ride West, and picked it up in early June, 2003.

We have used this bike on our 2003 Pacific Northwest and Africa tours, and on our 2004 tours of Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Japan.
