We've been and we've gone. Didn't get to explore much at all, other than roadside stops. There were a few places that looked like they were worth checking out but to say they were crowded is an understatement, so we kept on trucking. Thanks. Enjoy your trip. We too have our kitchen sink packed...

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Into Idaho we go We made our way towards Jackson WY where Fernando and Almu said they found a great campground. Lori's aversion to bear encounters and the desire for more serviced campgrounds (read bathrooms and showers), landed us in Teton Valley Campground in Idaho however...

Thanks MacDoc, we have to scoot over to Edmonton to get the Tiger serviced but then we're heading north. The Boa straps looked to be seated properly and everything seemed to be on nice and tight. Definitely didn't look like your pic at any time. I've been chatting online with GiantLoop about...

Re: Butch Cassidy & The Spanish Kids? Thanks.

Butch Cassidy & The Spanish Kids? Our day started out pretty average as we decided on Rock Springs WY for our destination. Lori was starting to feel under the weather and wanted to stay indoors. We headed west along Hwy40 before picking up Route 318, decent riding with almost no traffic on this...

Re: Colorado - Rocky Mountain National Park Near the bottom. I say that like we're at sea level or something, I think we were still about 8,000 feet here. In fact the rest of the next 2 days were spent above 6,000 feet. I noted how exciting it was to get to the highest point on the Blue Ridge...

Colorado - Rocky Mountain National Park You went to Colorado for tires? Well it seems no one else has any Heidenau K60's in stock and this was the closest place I could find. Of course, I've always wanted to see Colorado, so it wasn't a difficult decision since we were only about 500km away...

Thanks. I've been hoping to get some reviews done for the gear, it's on the list along all the video footage I haven't touched yet. This riding business just keeps getting in the way...:rolleyes: Ha! The kit is less than perfect, in fact I need to replace a few items I lost when my Giant Loop...

Black Hills II We took another scenic route leaving Rapid City through Custer State Park, then looped north via Needles Highway before making our way south into Wyoming and Guernsey State Park for the night. Going up 16A off Iron Mountain was just fantastic, the road spiralling upwards and...

Ok, now you're getting a little personal don't you think? :lmao:

For all you stove lovers out there... Cooking kit Everything except fuel fits into the pot or the blue bag. Oh and the frying pan is actually in one of our waterproof bags, it just takes up too much space in the side cases. Pot is the GSI MicroDualist, which houses two drinking cups, which...

The Black Hills We decided to stay at the Tee Pee campground for a second night and do a bit of riding around the area. On the menu for the day: Spearfish canyon & Mt Rushmore. Sunset at the Tee Pee We took Nemo Rd and then Vanocker Canyon Rd into Sturgis and then headed south down via...

The scenery was definitely nice along that stretch of highway, once you looked passed all the billboards for Wall. I appreciate signs that let you know something is coming up, but that was excessive to put it nicely. I challenge you to count how many there are when you make the trip...on second...

Stoves - pretty good actually. The home made cat can stove gets the most mileage, mainly because I typically have a tea in the morning and it's the easiest to use. It seems to be more efficient last few days, I'm guessing it's mainly because of the warmer temps and not the higher elevation. I...

The view from the back of the bike…sort of Inspired by Neil Peart's Ghost Rider We left the Badlands via Route 44 and although it doesn't look that interesting on the map, there were more spectacular views and virtually no traffic along here (as evidenced by the parked bike in the middle...

Enter Badlands From Ottawa IL, we zig zagged our way north west sticking to back roads mostly, stopping in Nashua and Sioux Falls to camp each night. We had an interesting delay riding through downtown Sioux Falls as traffic in front of us was stopped while Harley after Harley rode past on the...

I'll have to keep the Icon in mind if the Olympia ones fail. We haven't actually had a chance to really test them since leaving home.

Post NFLD Gear Update A few people have asked us about our gear and what has worked, what hasn't so far, and what changes or improvements we would like to make. After 10,500km over 5 weeks, I thought I would do a quick post and go over some of the changes. The Tiger With the exception of the...

I believe so. Nice pics. We're getting new rubber put on today and making our way north west starting tomorrow. We should be there in about 2 weeks, very excited.
