There is such a plethora of auxiliary lights out there. From Amazon $40 specials to $1K Denali's. Ultimately, after hours of research and consideration I went with Morimoto 2-Banger spots for my Versys. I have them tied to the hi-beams. Great for spotting the deer along the roads.

Another great video Adrian!
Great tips on touring and I’m definitely going to check out the CarPlay unit you have
So jealous you have ridden Italy twice!
My family is from the Milan area which I am hoping to get to one day
Cheers

I wish you rode an Africa Twin! I would love to here opinions as thought out as yours were in this video directed towards my bike😔. Yet I watched the whole thing. Nicely done👌

Good video Adrian, I can see how you would have to change your riding style and bike settings for the more technical riding in Italy. Cheers

Thank you for this information and your knowledge. How’s the bike been holding up?

Hello, again, Adrian. Glad you're still out there enjoying. Last go around (your first Euro-set-up vid), you were going to describe getting the bike "across the pond"? I remember you said you were flying it there. Do you have a secure parking location during your lengthy absence? Look forward to any travel vids from the next adventure. Best, John in Colorado

Great to see the updates! I have the same bike (2012 version) and was wondering if the Kappa windshield made a big difference. I don't seem to have much buffeting with the factory shield...clean air....but does this one make the air go over your helmet or will it go into your face. I am about 6' 1" tall. Also you seem to love the new seat...must be worth the cost! Will budget for that next year.... I'm at 35000 km....can't believe you are only at 10K...what year is your bike?

I just bought a 2015 G650GS last weekend and found your channel! So glad I did. Do you do your own maintenance: valve check/adjust etc? I'm a mechanic so plan on doing all of it myself, but the valve maintenance is quite involved and just wondering if you have attempted it. My bike only has 2450 miles on it, so almost new, but that first check comes up in another 3500 miles!
