Big thanks to Sponsors

These guys do what it says on the tin – they travel the world testing bike gear in the wild and then just sell what they know works. We’re using lots of Touratech equipment for this years trips. I’ve worked with them for year – nice one Herbert. http://www.touratech.com/

So if you don’t want to get lost – check out the Garmin gear. We’re using them on the current Africa tour – the Zumo 660 and it’s awesome. I reckon the lead player in the navigation world.

You only have one head! Enough said eh! Thanks Arai for supporting me on lots of projects – especially the Long Way Down with the fantastic Tour X3. http://www.araihelmet-europe.com/

Well, hey, if you wanna be cool on a bike – get a Buff. I love watching the Buff video on how many different ways you can use it! They’ve produced a great Buff for us this year and we’ll be using it on the Africa trip! Thanks guys. https://www.buffwear.co.uk/

Big thanks to Darren in WFO Bikes and Racing in South Africa. We’re using the new Mitas dual sport tyre for all the BMW GS 1200′s and we’ll report back. See Darren at www.wfobikes.co.za. http://www.wfobikes.co.za/

Hey – our relationship has gone from strength to strength and I have a lot to thank them for. The bikes are amazing and the organisation supported me just when we needed it. Have a look at the 30 yrs new GS – The most successful BMW series ever built! http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/

Kriega packs are designed specifically for motorcyclists both in terms of features and performance. The ergonomics of wearing a rucksack whilst riding a motorcycle are completely different to that when walking -
a correctly adjusted Kriega rucksack will out-perform any other backpack on the market. http://www.kriega.com/
