Adventure Instructional DVD for
BMW’s F800 GS
Seattle, WA, June 09, 2009 --(PR.com)--
International travel adventure motorcycle expert, Helge Pedersen, and
six BMW F800 GS riders share their ideas on gearing up and maintaining
their BMW F800 GS bikes for the road. This is the premise for
GlobeRiders’ new instructional DVD about the BMW F800 GS adventure
touring motorcycle.
GlobeRiders BMW F800 GS Adventure Touring Instructional DVD covers a
variety of subjects including maintenance, fixing flat tires, special
parts reviews, accessory ideas, and luggage systems that work on the
BMW F800GS. These are subjects focused towards the BMW F800 GS
motorcycle, but are of interest to riders of all motorcycle brands.
Each feature of the F800 GS is discussed and scrutinized to help
viewers better understand their bikes and motorcycle adventure touring
in general.
“We strive to give viewers a broad spectrum of ideas to consider for
their own bike – everyone has a different opinion and this helps in
coming up with what works best for their bike.” states John Wehman,
Marketing Representative for GlobeRiders.
Over half of the 4 hour DVD program includes motorcycle travel expert
Helge Pedersen, providing demonstrations and tips on basic motorcycle
maintenance that can be preformed at home or during a trip. These
activities include how to change oil and air filters, front and rear
brake systems, puncture repair and tire changes. All are important
functions to know when mechanical issues come up on-the-road and in
the middle of nowhere.
Each of the BMW F800 GS riders interviewed provides insight as to why
they chose certain styles and brands of products to add to their
bikes. During recent years the market for motorcycle products has
grown tremendously. Product manufacturers are constantly coming up
with new designs and materials that provide a specific look or use
that a rider is looking for depending on how and where they ride.
The selection of panniers, for example, to carry gear can be quite
confusing. There are many styles and materials to choose from. Each
rider in the show explains their thought process in deciding on the
pannier that works best for them. Some riders look for ease of opening
– top lid coming off completely or hinged so it doesn’t get lost.
Panniers may be permanently fixed to the motorcycle or removable. For
other riders the weight is a major factor. Some riders prefer a small,
slim compartment for short trips, others need larger containers for
extended trips to hold camping gear and extra clothing. The ability to
stand up to extreme weather or a strong impact is always a major
concern.
The DVD also includes an interview with German rider Doris Wiedemann,
traveling with her companion Sjaak Lucassen on a major motorcycle
travel adventure from Key West, Florida to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in
mid-winter. They stopped in Seattle, WA during their journey and
discussed their bikes with Helge Pedersen and shared their views for
the video audience. Doris had decked out her F800 GS to withstand the
many treacherous roads and conditions they have encountered. To
prepare for Alaska she added even more gear including stronger crash
bars and rock guards. Carrying their own gear on each bike including
camping gear for a 70 day journey had proven to be a challenge for the
riders. Doris’ comments provide insight for riders gearing up and
planning similar trips.
This is the fourth motorcycle instructional and maintenance DVD
produced by GlobeRiders during the past 3 years. Other DVD titles
cover the BMW R1200GS, BMW R1100/1150GS and the BMW F650GS.

broadcast on SPEED Channel.
