Touratech-sponsored adventure motorcyclist Helge Pedersen was awarded the 30 Years of GS Lifetime Achievement award in recognition of the contributions he has made to the world of GS and world travel by motorcycle during this year’s BMWMOA International Rally in Redmond Oregon.
Last week we had the great fortune of meeting two motorcycle travelers at our Seattle HQ as they stopped by for a rest and picked up some parts. Ara and Spirit have been traveling around the U.S. for the past 4 years on a 1995 BMW R1100GS with a custom Dauntless sidecar. Ara’s BMW has over 230,000 miles on the clock and is still going strong.
World traveler Chuck Quast stops in at Touratech-USA headquarters after 5 years and 100,000 miles of riding around the world.
We love receiving updates from our world traveling friends Simon and Lisa Thomas. On May 18 Simon and Lisa celebrated their 7th anniversary on the road. An incredible accomplishment by any measure! Read a recap of their latest adventures and check out great images they shared with us.
Summer is here, and the snow in the Cascades is finally melting. Time to take advantage of all the beautiful riding the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The CycoActive crew has been busy on the weekends riding up to all the peaks they can find, checking the snow level and finding out (the hard way) which high roads are passable and which are not.
Helge Pedersen’s book "10 Years on 2 Wheels" ranks among the most amazing travel experiences ever. The 3rd English edition of the book is now available exclusively at Touratech-USA.
The Touratech-USA crew has been hard at work the last several weekends scouting out the best off-road routes for the upcoming BMW XPLOR Pacific Northwest Adventure Rally.
Three GS riders, brothers Leo and Mitch, and friend Matt, stopped by Touratech-USA headquarters Thursday morning on their way up to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
Helge Pedersen’s book "10 Years on 2 Wheels" ranks among the most amazing travel experiences ever. The 3rd English edition of the book took more than a press of the button to come to life. The story goes that after selling out one Norwegian edition and two English language editions, Helge discovered that the original printer’s films had disappeared, so he painstakingly recreated the book, which is now available for pre-order exclusively at Touratech-USA and is expected to arrive in the U.S. in early July.
A group of guys from Touratech and GlobeRiders needed a good excuse to get out of the office. And what better way to escape home and business responsibilities than setting out on a multi-day motorcycle adventure off the beaten path through the rugged and uninhabited land that stretches along the OBDR – the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route.
