    Sorry it’s been a long time since I update this thread.  I finally bought a second set of wheels for my R1250GS and fitted them with the schrader pressure sensors.  I read in another forum that if you swap the wheels one at a time the computer will relearn the sensor and display the tire pressure without getting confused.  You don’t have to go through all the trouble of reprogramming the computer as long as you don’t swap both wheels at the same time.

    Well it worked like a champ!  It only took about 3 miles on each wheel to relearn the sensor.  Pretty happy about that so now I can swap my wheels for different riding condition.  I know, it’s an expensive solution but I wanted to have the flexibility to go on long rides on the road without having to listen to that damn howling from my Motoz Tractionator Adventure tires.  Which by the way are great in the dirt but suck on the road!

    I ride Old Julian all the time on my BMW and Harley and personally I think you have to be a little crazy to ride a bike on that road given it mostly has no shoulder so any error is a formula for complete disaster.  Plus the way the super bikers ride that road it’s enough to scare the hell out of anyone!

    I keep thinking I'll eventually do a real long distance ride some day like you describe.  I've done a lot of 1 or 2 week stuff.  3 weeks is my longest (I think). But trips like that usually include a few days here or there seeing family along the way.  I'm sure I'll eventually do Alaska just because you kind of have to at some point.  But I'd like to have 4 weeks for that and I'm not that free yet.

    Alaska is definitely on my bucket list!  Just have to retire first!  As much as I would love to do a trip similar to Long Way Up I don’t think I want to make that investment plus it’s not something I’d want to do solo.  I think I’d rather spend the money on an European adventure as I feel way more connected to there than South America.

    Just saw the first episode of Long Way Up.  Looks to be a pretty interesting challenge doing this on an electric bike.  But of course when you got the kind of money they have to pull this off it’s no where near impressive as those who do this on their own.  Besides I’m just watching to see the scenery as I doubt I will ever be able to do a trip like this in my lifetime.

    I have a 2019 R1250GS and I was thinking about getting a spare set of wheels so I can swap between street and off roading without remounting tires.  Obviously the tire pressure settings are quite different between these tires and I was wondering how to manage the sensors without having to go to the dealer and have new settings flashed into the computer.  I heard a rumor that the computer can mange two set of settings.  Has anyone dealt with this?  Any input on this is greatly appreciated!
