In his mid-40s, Philipp Amann decided it was finally time for an off-road adventure, despite the challenges of age, fitness, and relying on a 28-year-old BMW R1100GS. His first ride on the TET was a wild and humbling plunge into the deep end, but through grit, determination, and a passion for exploration, he transformed early blunders into triumphs. Along the way, he discovered the thrill of mastering off-road challenges, the significance of preparation, and the unique excitement of riding through Europe's diverse landscapes.
