Two wheels to three wheels
As much as I loved riding the BMW K1600B it was not much fun doing solo runs on it. The best part of being on 2 wheels is doing it with the one you love. It wasn’t really planned and whilst the K1600B was getting a service in Brisbane (750km away from home). I had …
The freedom of the open road
There is nothing like the feeling of freedom when you are touring on 2 or 3 wheels. A convertible gets close but it doesn’t match the feeling on being on a touring motorcycle. The freedom of the open road allows you to explore new places, make your own stops, and discover hidden gems along the …
Goodbye to Project AntJan
Well we decided to not progress Project AntJan fully as we had also added a 2017 Ford Mustang convertible to our vehicles. We also realised we didn’t want to camp in swags anymore and rely on campground facilities or our own resources. We had completed the fit out at the back and never utilised it …
Pajero Mods Part 4
Some progress on Project AntJan, I finally decided to start on the rear storage area. This meant installing all of the goodies I purchased in Part 4. I opted to use 17mm plywood for the majority of the frame build with 2 slabs of pine under the fridge stand itself. After much test fitting and …
Why a BMW K1600B?
At the end of 2022 I knew I wanted to move on from my 2019 Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide. The trip I did with some mates to Victoria drove home how ordinary the stock suspension and seat were. Whilst I could have upgraded the suspension and seat there was little to be gained long …
Pajero Mods Part 3
Time to get the AntJan project back on track and get the planed mods progressed. So whilst we were in Brisbane we visited Dunn and Watson and Kaon to get some needed accessories. From Dunn and Watson we purchased a tilt fridge slide and a harness to fit to the slide for power. From Kaon we …
Pajero Mods Part 2
Turning the Pajero into an off road tourer has progressed slowly. The photo on the right is one of the reasons why. When I seen the Crossbones Springer come up for sale I had to grab it. They hit the market rarely and I’ve wanted one for a few years now. Then there is my …
Pajero Mods Part 1
The mods have begun! There is a lot of thought going into the modifying of the Pajero as I am cautious of its GVM and the limitations involved in what can be achieved. So to date we have the following fitted: Rubber floor mats GPS/OBD HUD display ARB Deluxe alloy roof rack ARB 2.5m X2.5m …
The Pajero has landed
A quick trip to Nambour was in order to take delivery of our new Pajero. The dealership had it ready and I was very clear during our phone calls that I didn’t want to talk with the “Ming Moll”. As we were picking it up at midday on Friday we opted to travel from the …
