RTW Success for Adventure-Spec Customer(s)

We’re always happy to hear from customers who’ve gone and ‘lived the dream’, so it was great to receive the message below.
Mike Dallaway has returned from a successful Round the World trip supported by Kudu Expeditions and had fitted his BMW F800GS with Guard-it Technology Bash plate and crashbars, plus a set of Barkbusters handguards. See what he had to say!

“Hi Chris,

After 4 months and 21,000 miles I’m back in the UK after successfully going round the world.  This email is really just to let you know that the engine bars did their job perfectly both for me and the other users on the trip.  Between us we had five bikes using your bars and we tested all 5 sets repeatedly.  From no speed topples to 100mph down the road after hitting a goose (no honestly) they protected the bikes fabulously.  The Goose incident wore so far through the tubing it blued in the centre but still protected the bike.  The only damage that did get through was when one guy went wide on a bend and ground the bike along a concrete barrier until it hit a bit sticking out.  He and the bike went flying in different directions and the bars were hit so hard they folded backwards and the lower mounting plate punctured the alternator casing.  As we were in Russia we found a guy who welded up the casing and straightened up the bars until they fitted back on.  Everyone agreed that his leg and half the bike would have been missing if it wasn’t for the bars so they did an amazing job.

Regards

Mike Dallaway”
