Is Our BMW R1300 GSA Clean Enough For The Next Country?

Malaysia Motorcycle Tour | Season 5, Episode 29 Before any international border crossing, our BMW R1300 GSA has to be completely clean and ready for inspection. On a round the world motorcycle journey, customs and biosecurity checks can be some of the strictest and most unpredictable parts of travel. In this episode, we prepare the bike for an upcoming border crossing by giving it a full deep clean and detailed inspection. We strip the bike down, clean hard-to-reach areas, and check for dirt, mud, plant matter, and contamination that customs officers often focus on. Many countries enforce strict biosecurity rules at border crossings, especially for motorcycles arriving from overseas, and failing an inspection can lead to delays, extra cleaning, fines, or denied entry. This video shows what really happens behind the scenes before a motorcycle border crossing, what customs inspectors look for, and how we prepare our BMW R1300 GSA to keep moving on a long-distance adventure. If you’re planning an overland motorcycle trip, shipping a bike internationally, or riding across borders, this is essential viewing. 🛒 Our Travel Shop: Explore our travel-tested gear & stickers: https://seanandemilytravels.com/shop 🗺️ Navigation App – calimoto: Get a 30-day free trial ➤ Use code: S&E30 Get 10% off yearly plans ➤ Use code: S&E10 Start here: https://linktr.ee/calimoto_SeanandEmily 🛟 Travel Safety – Protected by Global Rescue: Worldwide emergency rescue, evacuation, and medical support for overlanders: https://www.globalrescue.com/lp/sean-... 🚀 What’s Coming: We’re riding around the world on our BMW R1300 GSA — a 2-year global expedition across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
