Just got back from NL and sadly missed the first year of Burfurd.

I always get on with the left peg. ( now that my hips no longer allow me to do it properly). Saw some guy recently advocate that you should always mount from the high side. That sounds silly to me.

I'm sold.

When the Squeeze and I travelled on the Wing I always wondered if I should cover the bike at night. The thought being if it's under a cover it worth protecting and hence worth stealing.

I bought the 5x8 kit trailer from Home depot. Lots of bolts but it's cheap and works well.

That's why old logging roads are so awesome - never ending wood supply.

Here' the perfect motocamping chair. After a long ride you need something that you can lean back in with a drink holder...
