Endurofun Midsummer Ride 2018

Posted on by

It had been a while since I rode out with Endurofun. From the allroad trip to the Alps in 2016 to be precise. One Saturday in July the stars finally aligned again. A good occasion too to use my Anakee Wilds for what they’re made for.

Endurofun’s Midsummer Ride slightly differs from their Spring and Autumn Rides. No departure in the morning but in the afternoon, after a sandwich lunch. A dinner closes off the day, and Endurofun also offer the possibility to stay overnight. Location: in the orchard of a fruit farmer.

In addition to allroads and enduro’s, 4×4’s can also participate in the Midsummer Ride. They all get different routes, the allroads even have four routes to choose from: soft, medium, nuts and hardcore.

I joined a group that picked the nuts route: Hugo on his Tiger 800, Stef with an Africa Twin and two Dutch boys (Africa Twin and CRF250L). I myself rode on my 800 GS.

Tow a caravan behind your motorcycle

Posted on by

If you travel by motorbike, you’ll spend the night in a hotel, a B&B, your tent or – why not – your caravan. Because towing a trailer behind your bike is an option too.

Moby1 builds caravans for motorcycles. You might lose a bit of riding pleasure because of the weight (between 280 and 320 lbs, depending on the model you get). And obviously you can’t expect a luxurious five star stay.

The Moby1 C2 caravan has a length of 80” and is available in two widths: 40” and 48”. In other words: if you don’t travel alone it’ll be very cozy.

A mattress covers the complete floor of the C2 caravan and there are some hanging cabinets. There’s also a rear door that conceals some more storage space and a worktop. Toilet, shower, dishwasher, microwave and jacuzzi are of course absent. Although every caravan is built to order, starting from $ 6.500 and according to the wishes of the customer, so you never know what you can ask for.

If you know other manufacturers of motorcycle caravans, please let us know in the comments below.
