Even with newer vehicles the tipping point appears to be between -28 and -30 in my recent experience. For example, my Company 2022 Ford F250 6.2L gasser will start at -27 no problem but at -28 it’s a no go unless plugged in. The 5.0 L V8 Ford is similar, the Ecoboosts will continue to start up...

I do the same, put the battery on charge for a couple of hours a month and that’s about it.

Interesting. Do they have the soles in stock or do they have to order? Mind sharing the cost? I have a pair of Alpinestars that could use some love.

Gear oil applied with a brush and WD40 on a rag to clean. 36,000 kms on the chain and have never used a brush. Previous bikes with chain wax = brush and kerosene every other tank of gas.

I agree, I purchased the Klim (Latitude) gear shortly after making the original post. It is still as per new, recently laundered, DWR treated and sitting in my closet in Corner Brook. Used it for 8 seasons and have been 100% satisfied. Bought a new set (Carlsbad) have two seasons logged on...

I just left CB and flew back to BC yesterday. I should have stopped by and tried it on. All my Klim gear is L but I thought I read that the Induction fits a little smaller.

How does this fit compared to the other large sized Klim jackets? I hear the Induction sizing runs a little smaller?

I never met IT Steve but I do recall that time period on RTR and have read the warm words everyone have written over the years. Even though I have no personal connection, I can’t help but to feel a sense of admiration for Patrick and am certain his father is smiling from above.

Correct. Watched the very same scenario the other night on an episode of “On her bike”. Do they check vehicles as they board I wonder to ensure adequate coverage? Some provinces even mandate insurance on all off road vehicles And I understand you can be heavily fines without, enforceable by...

I do the silicone pour over with filter. Tried the stainless steel mesh filter type but cleanup was a pain.

I try to take some fresh food for the first 24-48 hrs on the road. My go to includes pre-sliced bell peppers, onions, precooked chicken breast and rice for some stir fry on the first night at camp. A couple of frozen homemade hamburger patty’s and buns may accompany for night #2 depending on...

Camp towels are the worst. Literally one of my least favourite camping items throughout the years.

I’ve been running Mitas E07 for the past 10 years or so with a set of TKC80 mixed in here and there. I will need another set of something before end of summer and have been tossing around the idea of the Dunlop‘s as well. The Mitas served me well on the Super Tenere however not getting as many...

I was looking at the route 2 nights ago and also scratching my head.

I have several coworkers who make their own dehydrated meals, package in Zip Loc bags and rehydrate at camp whenever. I never bothered with the process as like you, I’d rather just stop somewhere and make a meal from a can Once stopped for the day. An oatmeal packet in the AM, a stop midday at...

Thanks everyone, buying an exhaust for the KTM however the owner would prefer to ship with UPS. I have convinced them otherwise however it will be a few extra days before he can get to a Post Office versus a UPS depot (or maybe scheduled pick up?). And I agree Hunterson, shipping has gone...

A quick question to ensure my traditional thoughts regarding purchases in the US and shipping to Canada are not out of date. On multiple occasions I have had unfavourable luck bringing items into Canada with DHL, UPS, FEDEX, etc. For the better part of the last 15 yrs I have requested USPS...

I always carry at least 2 bear sprays in the event I find myself with an immobile bike in the BC backcountry. Been looking at ultra short 12 ha backpacking guns for the past year or so but haven’t found anything that has satisfied my wants regarding price/weight/quality. East to find 2 sides...

I consider myself a bit of a gear whore and don’t mind spending a few extra $$$ for quality and longevity. Dresda, I’ve been doing laundry on the road in a dry bag for awhile now. Works really well. A clothesline is usually one of the first things I hang at a campsite. I stick to lightweight...

I could speed by on either coast!
