2023 BMW R 1250 RS story published in “On The Level”

Packing Light
—
I’d like to think that I’ve got motorcycle trip packing down to a science or at least well figured out by now. Sometimes I get a press bike that has a huge topcase and generous panniers and I just throw everything in and go. Other times, I get a cool bike that doesn’t have any…

Brought a Knife to a Gun Fight
—
