It is for end of day setting up camp, or if riding into a rain storm or cold and need to retrieve waterproof or thermal layers. I managed to squeeze my thermarest in and it closes! Thanks...

    Ive done a 4hr non stop ride, but on this bike thats it. I have done 8hr bicycle riding when I was younger for multiple days doing road tours so I find the stock motorcycle seat reasonably comfy. I am more worried about cramping and fatigue from wrists neck and legs. The hurry is the group is...

    Left turner... Ouch...

    Take a look at the car that turns left before the SUV. Judging by how the front end of the truck dove down makes me think he pulled out very fast to make his left turn and noticed at the last second there was a biker and came to a stop unfortunately in the path of the biker...

    Its a regular western digital my passport drive. I havn't tried uploading video yet but it is on my to do list. I have to use a Y usb splitter cable to power the hard drive with a battery bank and I figure there is enough power even if it takes a few hours to transfer files each night. I...

    Is contact required in a collision for not at fault insurance claims?

    @FLSTC This was a very logical response and I appreciate the reminders. You are right that avoiding collision with training is the best defense when compared to the alternative. I hope other riders get your message. I personally am always pushing myself to scan the road ahead and anticipate the...

    Is contact required in a collision for not at fault insurance claims?

    I have been wondering something relating to an accident that you might be able to avoid but curious as to what are the consequences of successfully avoiding that collision but only to crash and have a single vehicle accident. Picture a car in front of you makes a sudden u turn, or swerves into...
