Merry Christmas from all at Touratech UK 2007 has been a great year for the whole of Touratech. With a huge increase in the size of our factory/headquarters in Germany and the increase in staff numbers we have seen parts being available quicker than ever before. The growth hasn’t just stopped in Germany and has seen a lot of Touratech distributors around the world moving into or increasing the size of their premises to cope with the ever-growing demand for Touratech products. To meet with our customers’ demands in the UK we have increased the size of our stockroom by adding a new floor to our building and we have now opened our workshop to both fit out parts and carry out general work on bikes. We have also increased our range of demo bikes to display what our parts look like in the flesh which now includes an R1200GS fitted with a Desierto III fairing and fuel tank conversion (amongst other parts), an F650GS with fuel tank conversion, a KTM 950 Adventure and an F650GS Rallye. This years NEC show was hugely successful for us (more details below). We appreciate that it’s just not possible for our customers to come and see us in our premises in Wales so shows like the NEC are ideal for us to get out there and meet you, our customer. We have a lot of big plans for 2008 so keep your eyes peeled on both the newsletter and our website, as we will release these details when available. So we wish you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous 2008. National Motorcycle and Scooter Show 2007 – Birmingham NEC We decided to take a risk for this years NEC show and booked the biggest stand that we have ever had at any show so far and we are glad to say it worked well. After a lot of sleepless nights we finally found ourselves meeting our colleagues from Germany at this years show to start the long job of setting up our stand. Those of you who visited us at the show will remember our centrepiece – a rock based stand (weighing no less than 350kg) holding 4 screens showing our DVD’s. Around this were 10 fully kitted out demonstrator bikes,         more……..   The new BMW F800GS – as tested by Touratech founder Herbert Schwarz If you were asked the question, ‘Who were the first members of public to see the new BMW F800GS?’ you could be forgiven for mistakenly thinking this would be visitors to the Milan show where the bike was launched. This however isn’t the case as 4 weeks before the bike was launched Herbert Schwarz, one of the founders of Touratech, took a prototype version of the machine to deepest darkest Africa to put it through it’s paces. more……..     Travel Time – new from Touratech Five tours in five years, through the most widely varying locations in the world, all contained in a single book. ‘Travel Time’ contains a photographic record of the last five years tours that Herbert Schwarz, founder and director of Touratech, has made with his various travelling companions. The book shows the duos getting to know different people and different countries, all by motorbike. The riders not only ride through some fantastic scenery, but also capturing it by breathtaking and emotive photography. These picture accompanied by their explanatory captions recreate the atmosphere and experiences of the journeys. While these journeys were predominantly for the testing of the Touratech equipment (and more recently the new BMW motorcycles) they have taken on a life of their own and have had a huge following when turned into a DVD. The book follows five tours, which take the reader to the roof of the world in Tibet, through the jungles of Bolivia, from Mexico City to Baja California, from North to South through the Western USA and through the Namibian veldt up to the Angolan border. This inspiring new 180 page full colour book is available now from Touratech for only £9.99.
