The Bike & The Rider


This is my Bike that will take me on my Tour. It is a 2009 BMW R1200GS.
I have called her Pleaseantly Blue and you can imagine why. The bike is equiped with all safety features like ABS, ASC etc, has two suitecases and counts on the Acrapovic Exhaustpipe. She should be fit for the up 1000KM a day. She might need some Oil once in a while but I will have that with me. Finally I was able to get a Camera Moutn (was not easy) so that I can document well my trip with some visuals.
The Rider is me, Carsten Nitschke, 38 years old and riding a motorbike now only for 3 years. It will be quite some trip but I am very much looking forward to it. In order to make the trip more adventurous there will be no GPS Support. Let's head for the highway, until the journey will start here is some music for the time being

Steppenwolf: Born to be wild
AC/DC: Highway to Hell Shall this be the anthem for the trip
