Not surprised it sold, besides the fantastic, best in many years, 'for sale' website with all included. You had me at Raptor lined (been 4x4 camping for 40's years and my vehicles get beat)

So many places to ride on the north isle. So much info shared out there now! But little mention of the gates easy to ride around on bikes like those, or other abandoned FSRs. That's Grant's Bay, looking the other way

Thinking as a Canadian, T7s go fast from Dealerships and few used models, one I can find now is $11,000 cad and totaly stock. I tour often with family on KTMs and neighbours/son in law Vstrom. The Zuki is the more comfortable soft road bike, but on many a trips find them unable to climb loose...

Vstrom 650/800. Took a group of neighbours and old friends on a tour of the northern part of the North Island 1000. 2 KLRs, KTM 890 adv, a just unwrapped new T7, and both a 650&800 Vstrom. With no hard offroad, definitely consider the Suzuki; comfort, easy ridding, range due to its economy...

Not new and dealer service centers are brutal in BC. It's a long list problems and even young family members working in that industry have a long list of complaints and deal with stress as a result of this greedy industry. And this doesn't take into account billing out of country for warranty...

Do not know if the satellite range of iphone 14 or 16 will increase in coming years, but the utility of a standalone device, one that doesn't get water damaged and a battery that hopefully in the upcoming model lasts far longer than a phone, whereas a great safety factor that's worth the price...

Cool. Ha. Carry space blankets backpacking, motorcycle camping/traveling, kayaking, and even car camping. You can buy ones shaped like a large sleeping bag, I pulled that over my 0c sleeping bag one night on the Dempster that was far below freezing, and but for my nose was very toasty...

A Canadian adding his 2 bits. KO2's, had a few, excellent tire if the snow is just so, cold and compressible, then they're hard to beat. Wet, melting snow, or ice, or packed frozen roads; not so much. Several years ago did a self test, my vehicle with KO3's and hers with Hakkapelitte's (same...

Yeah looking at his vin yesterday it was made in the states. Guess they started building tacos in Canada in 2022

Close friends with 5th gen 4Runner and 3th gen taco, the Canadian made Tacoma seems to be in the shop for something every couple of months and their higher mileage, Japanese made, 4runner has performed flawlessly. Just an observation, I have owned several old Land Cruisers but for a 20, 50...

Seriously want to see more of NOPECs trip! Thank you Do love the isolation of area. Camping beside Comox Glacier last week

That is a amazing trip again, and can't wait for your write up. Having canoed and aluminum skiffed parts of the lake, but only for a night or 2, can say you will have your part of GSL to yourself. And the fishing is great

Wow, thank you for sharing your story! Despite the ending, your trip is how we'd like to spend our retirement in a few years! We spend a ton of time in the north!

Quote: Sounds wonderful! Lifetime opportunity! Thrilling........ AGREED! I must guess that 4 wheels would be best. As a lifetime rider, have always found that it is only a small percentage of riders that are happy with long days riding, more so day after day. Have friends, neighbours, and...

As I camp beach side on the west coast of Vancouver Island as many days as possible each year, this is a concern also. I carry a sharp hatchet even backpacking to split long pieces of wood for stakes, or carve some branches, and have used 20-30 liter dry bags full of sand to ensure a stable...
