Really? Need to google this - I never heard of them. That would be a cool thing to say, I didn't quite get it when you said 'ride TO France' :) the continental divide would be a good trip too...

I know someone who goes dual sport riding in France and he says it's amazing. I've got a few other places first before France - Morocco, South Africa, etc and I'm off to the Baja peninsula this October for the Baja Moto Rally race.

GP Bikes sells them. Call or go see Tom (parts manager) and tell him Alon referred you to him (my name is pronounced most closely to a-lawn as in the grass in front of your house, not Alan).

Ive snapped some smaller branches with the bag straps but they've never let go or torn on me and the hooks on the ends are very strong aluminum units. The Kriega loops are sold separately and are sold in pairs: http://www.kriega.com/rackloops/ Dont worry about your capabilities or the bike -...

Haha, yes - I like good lighting. The lights themselves are Baja Designs Squadron Pro lights and they turn night trails into daylight and I'm using an HDB rally fairing kit (I see you've got HDB guards on your bike). Your XR looks amazing, a total TCAT weapon...is that a brittania Lynx headlight...

Here's a shot of the back of the bike with one Kriega US30 and two Kriega US20s - that's 70 litres of capacity which is a lot. I don't know if you can see them but I've got those small Kriega mount loops bolted onto the bike to secure the bags to and I've arranged the bags to mimic the shape of...

What's a big red pig, an XR650R/L? Motocamping is is awesome but what's even better is camping with a motorcycle where you do multiple day rides from a single location so you're not carrying all your gear on your bike with you all day long. The campsite becomes your home base - we did this...

I might have have a picture or two of what the bike looks like loaded up. If you're not considering a multi-day trip this coming summer, at least consider some good long all-day rides.

Not exactly in the "GTA" but contact Todd at Mission Cycle in Angus (he's the owner but he's closed on Sundays and Mondays) - he is a wheel repair guru and he knows how to work with KTM OEM wheels (Saxiss, Behr, Excell, etc.) - 1705-424-1515, he may sound a bit "rough" on the phone but he's...

I found a deal on that tomahawk a few years ago (on Amaon.ca I think and for something like close to half of what they typically go for). I do have a Spot Gen I that I've used on other trips in countries outside of North America but to be honest, it's been sitting in my tool box unused as the...

And now for some links: Kriega Tool Roll. The last tool roll you'll ever buy: http://www.kriega.com/tool-roll/ Kriega Hydration Backpack: http://www.kriega.com/hydro-3-backpack/ Kriega Cube (which I put on my hydration pack shoulder strap): http://www.kriega.com/harness-pocket/ Camping chair...

Towel - yes, bring a towel. Yes, buy a large microfibre towel instead of bringing a heavy cotton towel from home. Cotton, is big, heavy and takes a long time to dry. Microfibre is miraculous and can be bought just about everywhere from Canadian tire to specialty camping stores. Only you can...

Other "stuff": camping chair: do not go out and buy a tiny camping stool thinking you're clever in saving money and space. You need a camping chair with a back, not so,e dumb stool that you have to sit on top of instead of sitting into a comfy chair. We are on bikes all day long, riding some...

Sleeping bags, pillows and sleeping pads / mattresses / cots - these components of camping will either allow you to get rest or prevent you from resting. These can be total game-changers for most people who need good rest to recover from a day of rigorous riding. Sleeping bags: down or...

Camping gear: let me start by saying that I'm big and fat (6'3" and 100kg) which presents two problems; everything I need and carry is typically larger/longer than the average sized stuff and I tend to buy ultra-lit weight stuff to offset my personal girth as there's nothing worse for me than...

Let's start with the bike gear: 1- KTM does a great job of providing a comprehensive and compact tool kit. I bring it plus a few other items in my Kriega tool roll: - a small bottle of locktite (blue - one is enough for the group) - tire pressure gauge (pen style, cheap and reliable) - a small...

As per some of the other threads here, I am planning a few overnight dual sport trips for the 2016 season - the Ontario section of the TCAT, the RAP and a few days in the Bancroft area, etc... For those who want to join, be aware that we will be planning a blend of camping / cabin / motel for...

I don't know when but check out www.canadasmotorcycle.com to see if they sell the Shinkos and also consider a Mitas tire from www.mx1canada.com - the E07, E09 and E10 are very popular big / dual sport bike tires that offer very good off road traction and lasts a very long time.

Hahahahha - Alex is a good guy and a very good rider. I guess it makes sense since both of you can be WR250 BFFs :)

I'm dying to find the right deal on a blue plated 250/300xc - I even considered a GasGas 300 smoker that's blue plated and for sale right now...
