If you can believe it, Steph and Stephanie Brady are not talking about either of these two motorcycles. Said to be 1 of 20 currently in the country. The Overland Journal water-cooled BMW GS1200. I declined the offer for a test-ride in the interests as avoiding a life-long label as "the guy who...

I wish I had more to post but this year was like the last five at OvEx for us: present, try to walk more than three meters without stopping for a chat with an old or new friend, eat, present, wine with old and new friends, sleep, repeat. We once again did not see a single film, drive a single...

Dan, The "Fly and Try; Fly and Buy" presentation, along with all the presentations that Steph and I presented this year and past years, are available as PDFs on our web site: http://hackneystravel.com Presenting "Fly and Try; Fly and Buy" with Christian was such a blast. I'd present a slide...

We were a few minutes late pulling out of our friends' house yesterday because I forgot my sunglasses and had to run back into the house to retrieve them. That delay enabled us to spot this Fuso FG 140 custom camper build coming down the hill into the neighborhood. We chased him down and...

This pan is the Wachirathan Waterfall Thailand. 18°32'30" N 98°35'57" E It was shot in November 2012. The pan consists of 12 verticals stitched in Photoshop, shot with a Canon 1D MkIII, 16-35mm @16mm The value of this pan is to illustrate how much resolution and detail is included in the...

These three are also from 2008 and were shot in northern Chile in the Atacama desert region. The first is from the Chuquicamata copper mine, the largest open-pit copper mine in the world. I really wanted this pan to work and spent a lot of time on it back then. I spent a little more time on it...

When I had the chance to see a unit working I spent quite a while looking all over a chassis for a data plate of some kind. I was unsuccessful. I couldn't find a data plate of any kind. The 15 or so chassis that I saw used a variety of engine and transmission combinations, but all the transfer...

It is my recollection from my initial Fuso research that Mitsubishi Fuso USA would not approve any SRW conversion for factory warranty support due to a) liability and b) the need to re-certify the brakes, etc. It is my understanding that Darrin wanted to do everything with Fuso USA engineering...

The 1192 climbs up the west side of Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand. t’s a lesser known “snake road” in the mountains here, the roads that draw people from all over the world to experience them. We just stumbled upon it because we needed to change our route, as we often do. The...
