KEEP MY BMW R1300 GSA OR TRADE………
This week I take you on a chilled coastal ride along the east coast of Chiba, exploring the long stretch of the Kujūkuri area—wide beaches, open roads, and that perfect mix of sea breeze and freedom that makes riding in Japan so special.
Along the way, I meet up with a passionate RV enthusiast, and our conversation hits me harder than expected. It sparks a real question I’ve been quietly thinking about:
Do I keep riding my incredible BMW R1300 GSA… or is it time to trade it in for an RV and explore Japan in a completely different way?
This episode isn’t just a tour—it’s a crossroads.
A look at lifestyle, freedom, comfort, and what adventure really means.
Join me for the ride, the views, and the dilemma.

Nooooooooooo, please keep the bike.
Mate, I'll follow either way 🙂
I hope you keep the bike but in the end, do what makes you happy!
Always entertaining and quality
Now, now…let's not fall out 😂
As a "biker" for 50+ years..and still adding 10k miles a year..now in my 70s..
The RV was nice, compact, and convenient
BUT..be it Japanese Italian, German or other…a motorcycle is #1
( unless health, family, £££ , or other dictate)
As you say…you meet so many nice people out on your motorcycle travels 😅
Take care..stay safe
Hi Arch, it was fun time with you, thanks. I know how fantastic to ride moto because I've been riding YAMAHA's one when I was in univ. Stay safe and enjoy your bike life!
P.S. I couldn't have sent some pictures of us, sorry. I'll email you later today.
You can't beat just staring at the ocean….especially if you live in Saitama! 🤣 GEOSTATION's keitruck RV was super cool.
Nice one Arch, the GS over a camper everyday! I did spend many happy years as a single dad with two young boys enjoying lots of holidays and weekends away together, which I couldn’t have done on a bike. Thanks for sharing my friend 😊
