So much easier to quarantine when it's February in Newfoundland lol

I'm running cardo freecom 4 which is a recent purchase. Its bluetooth but the range is supposed to be pretty good. It was a christmas thing so haven't really had a chance to test it out.

I bring two or three small ratchet straps. Useful when I find something large I want to strap down. Have helped a few riders who didn't have enough experience getting their kit firmly attached to their bike. Also doubles as an emergency tow rope if needed!

thats good gear that!

+1 on shinkos throwing knobs. On my shinko 244 rear I lost at least 5 knobs and the canvas was showing thats how deep the tears were. I wont use them again. I've had better luck with the 705s on the Varadero (no knobs to rip off). Except that after a couple of years the front has started...

Suddenly feel inspired to ride this again

I agree that smaller is better. 3-4 is optimum for me especially on a dusty road. More won't change my mind though. The change gives me a week of vacation to play with but getting a solid two weeks is still a challenge with my work. I'm thinking to take ten days and skip the festival.

I'll say chances are slightly better that I will go as I'm going to move my Costa Rica motorcycle trip to February 2022 from November. Frees up a week of vacation. I figure Costa Rica needs a little extra time to get on the vaccination bandwagon. As for group items I was thinking to bring a 60...

I'm holding out for a hydrogen powered bike. fall down go boom!

I'm irregular :)

I agree. Just to carp on it some more I hate how commenters became commentators, oriented became orientated etc.

I love the bag of wine idea. SO for these kind of trips I usually try to make a meal plan of sorts before I leave as a lot of the work can be pre-done. It would make sense to stop in a town or city not far from the beginning of remote roads to do some prep and load up on some of the fresh...

I've got a sil tarp that I rarely carry as its really for groups. Too big when I'm solo to bother with. lightweight and compact though. I usually travel with a spare 17 and 21 tubes and an inflator. I also bring homemade jumper cables. I'm having trouble imagining what kind of rocks on a graded...

Additionally I am an old army medic. Rusty but I do keep a standard fa cert current. I am self contained and kitted for independent long range trips. I have no allergies. In not in good physical shape but I know my limits.

I'm here. Will follow the conversation. Biggest problem for me is getting the vacation time.

sure sounds symptomatic of no spark. three years of sitting may equal corrosion on connections. that would be my first thought. but yes coils too

Not to hijack just curious. Do you find BMWs to require much more maintenance than Japanese and if so is it a lot more? I keep hearing horror stories which turn me off BMW

Guys, I've found this guy has some great videos on motorcycle maintenance. Enjoy!

FAT STACK!

You should go riding with Rob on his ST!
