Before arriving in Vancouver, the traffic was congested. But, with the date being September 5th, a holiday long weekend, it was expected. Rocky’s friend, Vincent, has an apartment in the heart of the city and we were invited to live there for a few days. Being on the 25th floor, we were spoiled...

Yup, we've posted on ADVrider, too. Do eet! We both get sick of each other. After a point, if someone is getting on your nerves, it doesn't matter what they look like. Spending so much time together, this is bound to happen from time to time. There are options for the Darien Gap (from...

We're currently in Moab, Utah. We're way behind on our blogging. It's hard to be doing so much traveling and working on photos and the blog at the same time. We're going to take some time to get caught up on things.

Really? Post your photo! I'm not good with names, but I usually remember faces.

On august 30, the weather turned bitter and it was a cold ride to Calgary, Alberta. Luckily it was a short trip because we weren’t wearing the weather liners on our riding gear. The tread on our back tire was wearing thin and since we have to learn to do all the repairs on the bike ourselves, we...

On August 26th we crossed from Ontario into “Friendly Manitoba”. It was strange riding from thick forest, smelling of pine and cedar, to flat grassland, filled with the aroma of hay and manure. It was a nice change of scenery, but strange because it was so immediate upon crossing the...

After a few delays and a lot of built up anticipation, we were ready and excited to finally greet the road. The house was sold and my belongings were either donated or traded for some shiny quarters. It was sad to part with the past eleven years of my life, but it was also liberating. Being...

BLOG LINK The Route: The route for this trip began to take shape in 2008. Over the past two and a half years of researching, a solid route has formed. A general route was first arrived at by plotting points of interesting locations in Google Earth and then connecting the dots. The route...

I hadn't charged it since a few months ago. I assumed it was a dead battery, but it measured 16V. I didn't notice if it was hot when I did charge it. I tried to put it on the charger before I was able to get a hold of a multimeter to measure the voltage, and the current from the charger read...

This is 16V completely disconnect from the bike. I am using a Sun Charger Model BC 35. I borrowed it. This thing is so old I couldn't even find a google image of it. I should invest in a decent tender. Just hope it didn't do any damage to the electrical.

I've charged my battery, disconnected from the bike, and it's output reads 16V when disconnected? Is this high enough to do damage to the bikes electrical system? It should be 12V.

I didn't read the entire thing, but I think I got the gist of it after reading several paragraphs. Here's some reasonable advice that I got among a slew of alarmist replies to getting a 1000CC bike as my first bike: I got my 990 a few weeks ago. Rode it back to Hamilton from Kansas. It took...
