Picos de Europa - Day 4

In the 4th day of the trip I went from Arenas de Cabrales to Fuente De where I tried the Cable Car (fantastic experience) and then I returned to Arenas de Cabrales through an offroad route. When I was planning this trip I had some doubts regarding this route because I didn't have any experience in offroad with R1200 GSA and I couldn't find how difficult it was. Concluding, if I could ride on this offroad route (with pillion), everyone can do it. The photos and videos next presented show how wonderful it was.

Puig Touring Screen for BMW R1200 GS (Adventure) (Ref: 6486H)

After riding just a few km's on my BMW R1200 GS Adventure I realized that the wind protection was not so good as I pretended, specially at speeds above 120 km/h.
After reading some information on the Internet I decided to buy the Puig Touring Screen for BMW R1200 GS (Adventure) (Ref: 6486H) (the smoke version) mainly because of the opinions expressed here: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=967985.

Next I show some photos comparing the original GSA windscreen and the new one.

The trips will be shared mainly through photos and maps of the paths taken. All the photos will contain the exact location of the places visited through GPS coordinates. Do not expect big text descriptions... Please contact me if you would like to have the GPS tracks.

Occasionally I will also share some information of equipment and accessories that I will acquire to me and to my motorcycle.
