If the cages gave me more room I'd think about it. Don't you ever get pushed to the curb?

Yep, it was me. Did you guys finish the day well?

The lighting is great. Did you luck out or wait for it?

They're brilliant bikes, if a bit top heavy, similar to my Versys, and the KLR. Adding? You're tired of the scoot?

I used to ride a 2001 gsf600s. It was a great bike. Welcome!

A fully kitted out BMW GSA 1200. Then if I didn't like it, I could sell up and buy three other bikes. :)

Tmi! Lol.

Keeping the bulk down became a key factor for comfortable cold weather riding. I used to look like the stay puft marshmallow man

Lol! I squared off my front Conti Trail Attack2 and at 18,000km it doesn't want to turn in anymore. It resists, then drops you in. They don't make the Heidenaus in the 650 Versys rim sizes. :'( Gas stoves I looked at were the standard MSR range and I found an old brass Primus/Optimus design...

Fixed it for you. ;)

It looks better than this... My KLR filter after the Trans Lab. :) My Versys after 37,000km of mainly highway with a few gravel roads.

In that case, visit the Good Food store in the same parking lot. Vegetarian and health food store. :D Yep, the Ganonoque on a long weekend was packed!! I did a u turn and did Mallorytown instead! Usually off peak at Ganonoque is a ten to fifteen minute wait. Lol.

Hahaha! My brother-in-law did exactly that and had his only roadside tow in years! He caught it in time to prevent engine damage, thankfully.

I have the Oxford Heaterz on my bike and recently installed Bark Buster Storm hand guards. It takes the edge off the wind, but now spoiled air hits the gap between my gloves and jacket, so I find cool air bugging my wrists! Gauntlet gloves take care of that, but I also considered changing the...

Oh, you can also buy those connector ends at Canadian Tire, get a 300amp booster pack, and jump start your bike. Worst case scenario is the boost MAY blow the in line fuse for the heated gear, and you'd have to pull off the tank and sort that out with a new fuse.

That's an SAE connector. You could get a battery tender Junior for $35 bucks that will charge it, but it needs a 120vac power source, obviously.

Hahaha! How do you spoil horses rotten? I'm an expert at spoiling dogs. :D

Watching those makes me want to load up and go rough it in the cuds. Maybe without the goat, perhaps? Read the Ted Simon novel 'Jupiter's Travels' to understand what inspired them. Ted's description of his hardships and mistakes really hit home on how a single person Rtw can live or die on...

Go to a powers ports store that deals with snowmobiles and have a look at the Bombardier gear. I bought a medium weight brushed nylon top and bottom for $80, and a light weight for the same. I've been using them for three years as a goto base layer. Walmart in the States sells Sparks branded...

All the nitty gritty stuff of failed equipment, bug bites, dust, camp fires. I'm a glutton for punishment. Lol. I really enjoy the shots you and Lori are posting. It's putting Alaska so much higher on the tour list. :) I never thought about the insulation to keep the stove off the ground...
