GS 400

GS 400

I started riding motorcycles in 1994. My first bike was a Susuki GS400. I owned her for 3 years and then decide to sell her. I still have nostalgic feelings. Perhaps one should never ever sell a bike.

Africa Twin

XRV 750 (RD04)

The best of all bikes! She took me all over Europe, places such as Vienna, Manchester,Barcelona and many more. Recently, I worked on her to put her back into excellent condition. She deserved it. Today she is back on the road again.

Africa Twin

XRV 750 (RD07)

She is my everyday means of transport. I bought her second hand after along search. Because she is lower than the RD04 my girl can also use her in case she left her Transalp at home.
I rode this bike all the way to Karelia and around the Bothnian Sea.

Africa Twin

XRV 750 (RD04, built 1990)

This bike must have had a rough life until now. Most of the plastic parts are cracked and other things are bent. However, I got her for a reasonable price. RD04s are hard to find. I rode her along the antique Via Domitia and explored the gravel roads of the Massive des Maures. She also experience the long loop through Hungary and the trip around the Baltic Sea.

Africa Twin

XRV 750 (RD07, built 1993)

This is my latest acquisition. She has spent her life on the road for many miles but she appears to be in good shape. We will see. I hope, for the price I paid she was a good deal. My girl likes to ride this "tiger-twin" very much, so the rear suspension is adjusted to "low".

The rest of the family

LC4

LC4 640

We own a KTM LC4 for my son. She is real fun. But after a few hours ride, the vibrations start to hurt. We own two sets of wheels for this bike: a set of enduro wheels as well as a set of supermoto wheels. It was quite an issue to license them both for alternative use in Germany.
Unfortunately, the ball bearing of the first gear shaft died. Therefor, the engine had to be opened. I intend to post a blog of this repair work here soon.

XT350

XT 350

We also own a XT350 for my son. He rode her all the way down to St. Tropez and through the Alps. This bike is still being used for off-road rides such as my recent trips in the western alps . Just like the ATs the XT features a power supply for GPS.

Transalp

Transalp

My girl rides a Transalp. This fits nicely to my African Twin.
