The price tag wasn't as bad as I expected either. Starting somewhere in the $130's. It's a whole lot more specialized than I would want - but cool to see options out there.

This thread is about Jay's [very large] truck. Debating the legality of detaining someone against their will has no place in this thread. Please keep the discussion somewhat close to the topic.

Yes, it was prior to the OME suspension. It had the air lockers in both ends, their drawer system, fridge, recovery gear, etc in the back, and of course a roof rack, awning, etc. Thankfully, no RTT when I picked it up in Moab. It would have been interesting to drive it again after they...

I spent some time in ARBs old H3A, both on and off road. On the road, it handled well, got reasonable fuel mileage, was reasonably quiet and comfortable. Off the road, it was a bit of a pig. The suspension was mush, but it was loaded down pretty heavy with the stock suspension, so I'm sure...

That's it. Find your way to Tucson, then head south on I-19. Take the Arivaca exit - about 30 minutes south of Tucson (if you get to Mexico, you went too far!), make a left at the bottom of the off ramp. Cross under the freeway, and then strait across the frontage road (warning - cross...

Warn has generously volunteered to bring their winches and recovery experience into the motorcycle recovery classes at the Overland Expo. We're looking forward to seeing the winches in action.

Lots of dirt being moved around in Amado. No one was around, but I stopped by last night (on my way home from a 200 mile ride around the back country on the BMW) to see what the Land Rover guys were up to. They have a pretty serious 'play ground' under construction. :Wow1: I'd post a pic or...

It's not uncommon for medium sized winch (8K lbs) to pull upwards of 500 amps at stall. I don't know of anyone fusing their winch, and I never fused mine. But, since it is hooked directly to the battery, it's a good idea to make sure you route the cables so you minimize the risk of rubbing a...

There is a trade off for everything. If you want something that will shake your belief in orange, bring your gear to the Overland Expo. I'll let you take the Husaberg for a spin . . . :bike_rider:

I have a couple different pairs of knee/shin guards (along with Sidi boots), and an Acerbis Koerta 'pressure' suit, but I'm lacking in hip padding (unless you count the the padding that years of carne asada and sonoran dogs have given me :sombrero:). If I'm on decent roads (dirt roads), I tend...

I catch myself doing the same thing. The mesh overpants aren't too bad on the way in to work, but they get kinda toasty on the way home. To remind yourself of the alternative, just cruise through the Face Plant section of ADV . . . :snorkel:

A decent pair of riding pants cost in the neighborhood of $200. Is that too much? Will that $200 pair of riding pants reduce your medical bills by $200 when you crash? Will it save you $200 worth of pain and suffering? Every rider has to answer that question for him/herself. As for a lot...

If you are thoroughly tired of it -- I'll up my offer to two (2) pounds of bacon. But wait! If you act in the next 2 days, I'll send you not one (2 pound) package of bacon, I'll *double* your order for a total of four pounds of bacon, and I'll throw in a free* roll of paper towels! All for...

I wouldn't read too much into it. I'd put money on the x-challenge questions stemming from a bit of moto-ADD. I don't think there is a serious contemplation between those two bikes. :sombrero:

He's might have you by more than that. Mine is 233 dry, and it only holds 2.4 gallons of gas and about 3.7 drops of oil. The Husaberg is the lightest bike I have -- and I've got a couple of small (<250cc) trail bikes. But, the 'berg is a bit high strung for an 'adventure bike', IMO. Sure...

ouch. You could always drive the 60 down to Amado and put a for-sale sign in the window during the Overland Expo . . .

Nicely done, sir. :bike_rider:

I have nightmares about that friggin log! :Wow1: Just kidding - but it's a perfect example.

I dunno Scott. It really depends on what you want to accomplish with it. You know as well as I do that you will be happier with the 1200GS -- right up until you want to climb that long, steep, loose, rutted, rocky, hill. Are you willing to turn the BMW around and go back the way you came in...

1: You're still alive?!?!?! :elkgrin: 2: You still have this?!?!?! 3: I'll give you a pound of bacon for it.:chef:
