It’s the final commute with Zack, and he wanted his last ride to be a big one. So it’s a special journey, from his house to the office, by way of the final frontier and on one of the world’s most famous motorcycles. If you want to keep up with Zack you can follow him on social media @zackcourts. And don’t worry, we are planning more MC Commutes in the future, so stay tuned.

This is to all GS owners: the bigass windshield on this particular bike tends to bend at high wind pressure _(at high speeds or at powerful winds coming from ahead)_ and I’ve tried all sorts of solutions to fix it with little or no success at all. The solution which worked partially was to mount a “hinge” with a knob which goes on the left side of the windshield. I can’t remember who’s selling it, either Touratech or Wunderlich. With that one I’ve fixed only half of my problem. The right side would still bend towards me. The overall situation got improved a bit but it wasn’t good enough for me. And then, providence happened... while riding in Greece in my annual +4k long trip I’ve crossed my path with an old & rugged wise owl which was riding the same bike like I was. I could tell he was part o a larger group and I’ve spotted him from afar because of his gear. Of course he spotted me too for it is common knowledge that a BMW rider is basically a walking and talking head to toe BMW gear catalogue. Harley owners know exactly what I’m talking about. As I was about to get inside the taverna I’ve passed his bike and ... _whatzthis?_ ... a tiny spot of orange above his dashboard popped into my eyes: it was a “stress ball”... one of these medium sized soft rubber (foam, perhaps?) stress balls stuffed in between the windshield and its metal rack on the right side. Lost my appetite, jumped on my bike, went to one of the sport stores, paid less than 5 euros and EVRIKA, my problem was finally fixed. It works like a charm. Actually, fuck the hinge, two stress balls on both sides would work just fine and overall it will cost less than 10 euros instead of 70. Who would’ve thought this would work?

Perfectly if the last fifteen miles of road into town isn't too fresh and wet, but then just keep momentum by giving distance to the follow car. The gas station across from the Arctic Oilfield Hotel can have a bit of a wait which the comfy seat and heated grips make tolerable. Wait aside, the food at the hotel is top-notch and abundant.

GS stands for Gelände Strasse, which translates to land and road. Having ridden radical sports bikes for over 35 years, I’m now on my second GSA - currently have the one featured, but in triple black. No roads like those here in the UK, but as I live in the south of England I hop over to France and the rest of Europe for my fixes. It’s not like my S1000RR, but it’s far more capable than it ought to be. Add to that, I can now carry luggage effortlessly and I get the chance to see the scenery. A new way of motorcycling for me, and I’m liking it. 👍

My 14 year old son and I met Zach on this ride in Coldfoot Ak on the way to Deadhorse. Passed each other back and forth for a couple days. seemed like a good dude and a great rider. Cant wait to see what's next for him. The guy on the KTM at the end of the video let me ride his bike, pretty bad ass.

I have loved watching everything you and Ari have done, and I eagerly anticipated each new episode. This, despite the fact that a) I don't own a motorcycle, and b) I haven't been on one since I was a passenger on my cousin's Honda CB 100 in the mid-1970s. But you and Ari (with assists from Ryan F9 and Kevin Morris at MCRider) have really stoked my interest in motorcycling. Given that you' both have said that attracting new riders is one of your goals, I think you can both proudly say: Mission Accomplished.

Thought I'd add that I bought the same exact red R1200 GSA today, I looked at 'em all, and went with ol' tried and true. Expensive bike, but I didn't want to make an expensive mistake.This bike is truly in a class by itself. I must say that Alaska trip seems long on miles and short on smiles. Barren, cold, little trees, plenty of not much, really. Blah? And, no marching band on your arrival to dead Horse. Would you do that trip again? I just saw a video on a guy that rode to Guatemala from the U.S. to an active volcano. That looked amazing. Will miss your reviews, Zack.
