Hi All, I have just bought a BMW GS 310 - I intend to ride it mostly around our Queensland Coastal and hinterland sealed and dirt roads generally only going out for short rides or half a day - I’ve been thinking about what extras I should buy for it. If this post resonates with anyone and/or they have a similar bike, could you please share what you bought? I’m thinking some kind of quadlock for my phone, but I am a bit worried with weather because it’s got a cracked screen so maybe a cover for it? Some kind of bike lock to- to stop someone stealing my bike. Both when I’m parked up somewhere and maybe gone for a walk or from my garage at home when I leave it open (I don’t always Lock it cause my Animals like to snooze in there.…) also those Insta 360s look pretty fun. Any advice on those? I am thinking of getting crash bars put on the bike and maybe replacing the plastic guard underneath it for a stronger one… The bag on the back doesn’t come with the bike… I thought I might get a Tank bag… I used to have one years ago and loved it. Thoughts? And maybe some basic mechanical stuff? I know nothing about that kind of thing… anyone from coastal Queensland know the best chain lube on the market currently for bikes that do on and off off-road? Salty air, humid conditions. BasicallyI want to set myself up with a few things before the end of the financial year while the sales are on! It’s going to be an expensive month for me, ha ha. Being Queensland I’m going to have to think about some cooler protective gear too - any suggestions? Gratefully received!

What’s the one piece of motorcycle gear you absolutely couldn’t ride without anymore? 🏍️ Helmet? 🧤 Gloves? 🎧 Cardo? 🧥 Favourite jacket? 🦵 Riding jeans? 👢 Boots? Or… 😅 What’s the piece of gear you thought was unnecessary until you tried it? I’ll start: Cardo. I used to think they were overrated. Now I feel weird riding without one. 😂 👇 What’s yours? Bonus points if you post a photo! 📸💖

I’ve got quite a few new courses planned in the classroom, which one is more tempting? I’ll focus my efforts on the winner to be published first!

What’s something motorcycles have changed in your everyday life that non-riders probably wouldn’t understand? 👇

👉 What was your dream first bike before you started riding? OR 👉 If you’re still working towards your licence or first bike, what’s your dream first bike now? Did you end up getting it? Was it everything you hoped for? Or did reality (and seat height 😅) send you in a completely different direction? I’ll go first: I thought I’d end up on a full fairing sportsbike like a panigale V4… somehow I ended up owning a KTM 1290 Super Duke R. 😂 Drop a photo if you’ve got one! 📸👇 Bonus points if your dream bike and the bike you actually bought are completely different. 🤣🏍️💗
