Firstly, the bikes, Myth 001, and the newly unveiled Myth 002, look more like pristine works of art than ready-to-rock adventure bikes. And yet they are. That’s because the machines and the custom parts that make them so special are born from the hands of an overlander who spent 168 days and 20,000 miles on a trip from New York to Argentina thinking about exactly what it would take to make his BMW Airhead R80 the perfect adventure bike.

“We’ll take a trip around Oregon chasing the ‘magic hour’ light. We’ll be our own models, no stylists, no motorhome, no producers—just us and a loose plan to find adventure.” That’s how photographer Gregor Halenda pitched this adventure to Rev’it. In their quest to chase the light, they created 4 episodes to highlight the adventure. This is the trailer.
Chasing Light:
A series
“Motorcycles are typically thought of as dirty, loud, and crude sleds for dirty, loud, and crude people to ride around on. Of course, this is a ridiculous notion. In case you need any help understanding how absurd this sentiment is, folks like Roland Sands and Matias Corea will easily change your mind.”
“Wahrscheinlich hätte Matias sich von dem Budget eine nagelneue Super-Enduro kaufen können und wohl noch einiges an Geld übriggehabt. Doch die seelische Verbindung zum alten Vergaser-Boxer und dessen beeindruckender Widerstandskraft gegen alle äußeren Einflüsse, lassen sich wohl nicht mit moderner Technik verargumentieren.”
“While the Myth 001 is certainly wrapped up in an incredibly appealing visual package, true capability in bikes usually starts from within.”
