Lust! No, it is not as reliable as a Honda 650. Yes, I want it- bad. I will take the Enduro model, my passport and a fist full of dollars- see you guys on the other side. 2015 Ducati Scrambler Release (article)

For Overland Journal tests that are time sensitive, we often publish them to the home page of expeditionportal.com. This is certainly the case for PLBs and satellite messengers, which update every few years. Here is the test in its entirety: PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACONS AND SATELLITE MESSENGERS

We think it is pretty cool. The super hero of 4WDs? Agree - Disagree? We see the Brute as the Ultimate North American Overland Vehicle. The qualification is of course a 2014 4WD available in the USA, with a warranty, financing, blah, blah. You can buy a Brute from select dealers, and the...

Some of you know Harald Pietschmann of Rubicon and 4WD training fame. He lives outside of La Paz and was hammered by this recent hurricane, his house damaged, etc. Members of the community are working to provide assistance.

Despite being a serious DSLR holdout, I am ready to pull the trigger on a comprehensive mirrorless system for travel on the motorcycle. As E7 wraps up, I am looking to a trans-Africa trip on a big moto, and the luxury of a 70 series with 1-ton of cargo capacity and volumous interior will be...

Sure ;) (yes, I got stuck- lots)

A little impromptu adventure today with the Land Rovers. Typically, the mountains around Prescott would be packed with snow, but rain was the only element of contention for this trail. This is a favorite local trail, and a good place to show our new Australian intern (Troy) some of the local...

I have wanted a lightweight adventure motorcycle for local trails and exploration, plus the possible 3-4 day trips into Colorado, Utah, Baja, etc. Primarily, I want to be able to run all of the local trails in Prescott, just to enjoy exploring my own back yard. A few shots before the farkling...

We have some incredible photographers in this community. Lets see your best shot of 2013 (or more if you want, but be sure to call out your favorite). 2013 was an interesting year for me, photographically. So many new and challenging environments to capture, all with unique conditions to...

Many of us are at SEMA again, and there are some interesting vehicles and accessories on display. We can use this thread to collect images and insights for the community members that are in attendance. The Overland Journal project LR4 is on display, fresh with the Air Locker installation...

Pretty big news. http://www.expeditionportal.com/dodge/2528-aev-ram-accessories-a-new-standard.html AEV is showcasing a Ram 2500 at the SEMA show with a stamp-steel bumper, aluminum wheels, highline fender kit and 3" suspension system. I think it looks pretty wicked on the 40s, a complete...

So, I am faced with nearly of month in Antarctica and eating frozen or backpacking meals for almost all of it. Looking for a little variety and some off-the-wall ideas. What is your favorite backpacking meal? It can be prepackaged or something you make, or a combination of ingredients, etc...

Man, some serious clutch abuse here, but impressive non-the-less.

Instead of doing something logical, like shipping the motorcycle, I have decided to ride it from Portland to Prescott, and try to take a few interesting routes doing it. Here is the route I have planned so far: Wednesday: Portland to Eugene, 110 miles Thursday: Eugene to Eureka, 303 miles...

I have been riding the new water boxer 1200 GS for the past two months, and am finding it to be better than the outgoing model in nearly every notable category. The motor is stronger, smoother, simplified. There is a wet clutch now, more durable than the dry and can be removed from the front...

I have always just used the OEM straps for all of my cameras, but we just bought an SL1 for lightweight moto use and as a backup body for my compact kit (I run SUPER lean when traveling, usually with only one body and two lenses). This SL1 is so small that a neck strap seems, well. . . odd. I...

As the activity of the Expedition Motorcycle section has increased, we are looking for ways to help organize the threads and better support the discussion. Just like the 4wd sections expanded many years ago, we are looking to do the same in this forum. Instead of just making the change, we...

A huge thank you to Mark and Tami for coordinating and leading this trail ride. I had a wonderful time. We have about 500 images to import and sort, but here are a few to get things started. The view into Sycamore Canyon from the ridge. Mark, opening the gate (this trail requires a permit)
