"Motorcycling is in my family, and even though I and my brother was raised without them, we, somehow, both ended up with motorcycles being a major part of what defines us. My father used to ride dirt bikes (and race) in the army and I have photos of my grandmother riding in WW2.

Since I was 14, I knew the bike I wanted was R1150GS Adv - big enough to travel long distances and adventurous to take me to places I have never heard of. I got my license at the earliest opportunity and have been riding daily since.

I study maps during work hours (guilty) of places I wish to explore, spend hours figuring out how to mount my soft luggage, and daydream about seeing what nature, geology, geography, ecosystems/fauna the world has to offer. The motorcycling nature of RfR puts it in its own league of adventure travel."
