NaviCam UPDATE: Do not buy this. It's a glitchy, frail, and now seemingly discontinued product that went to pieces as soon as I went off-road. Back to Zūmo. Don't know what I was thinking. The Tiger’s command center was getting a bit overrun with tech, so I rolled the dice and went with a...

SOLD

New Wheel, Rotors and Rubber The failure of my fork seals three hundred miles away from home resulted in my pushing this machine beyond its mechanical limits and whenever I do that, something’s got to give. In this case it was my front wheel, bent from a solid hit on a cement seam rolling into...

Pannier Makeover UPDATE: The adhesive failed and the liner material cracked. Back to the drawing board. Thirty-six thousand miles were taking their toll on the Explorer’s panniers, GIVI’s 48-liter side cases, the Trekker Outback. The finish on the lids was marred by an attached MSR dromedary...

Bike and (old) ride.

My ADV evolution.

On my return from my last tour of the Eastern Sierras I got through Carson City’s morning traffic delivering me from 580 to I-80 in Reno where its left lanes expedited my way into Sparks and beyond. As I-80 hits the eastern side of that valley I noticed an incident tying up the westbound lanes...

SALE PENDING

Thanks. I'm baffled, too, but I'm sure the right buyer will come along.

$29,000 The price won't go any lower. If you've been considering this for your adventures, pick it up before someone else does.

No worries, I can see where this could be confusing. The platform is 78" long and 48" wide, enough to sleep two adults. The loft, what you're calling the storage space has been designed to be high enough to allow 3-4" pad with a sleeping bag - there's enough room under the loft for legs to slide...

Bump to reflect price reduction to $29k. Package no longer includes ROAM awning and awning room.

It’s a term used in the touring community, one that speaks to the benefits of motorcycle riding, of which I am a constant patient. There’s more to support this notion, research supporting positive effects of riding of lowering blood pressure, increasing endorphins, and the fact that the riding...

The next morning I spent some time walking Sunset Bay, then packed up and hit the 101 up Oregon’s epic coastline. I turned right at Pacific City and made the inland trek to a suburb of Portland, Milwaukee, where the boys live. My data display indicated 103f degrees, and the saturated rags...

No trip over La Honda is complete without lunch at Alice’s Restaurant. La Honda Road always makes me with I had my Honda Blackbird. I love Alice’s. It’s the least off-putting motorcycle hangout in California, except for maybe Neptune’s Net. But don’t tell anybody. When I left Menlo Park and...

I walked back to my camp and sat down in a blue shady spot adjacent the orange glow on the ground and started writing this, during which three C-130 transports flew overhead, smoke jumpers I reckon. I’m not sure I feel better or worse. The feeling I had that morning wasn’t one of alarm. It...

With the Pearls on the Strand ride cut short, I was left with two bothersome whispers bouncing around my brain, neither of which were, was I ever going to pass this way again. That’s an inane thought anyway, one I never entertained when I was traveling without the guillotine of an incurable...

Bump to reflect price reduction to $34k.

There is, still in process. Part Three will begin when my lymphoma relapses. You're welcome to read Part One here. If the link doesn't work, PM your gmail and I'll send an invite.
