But...its the golf cart of motorcycles!:confused:

You know, Pat, you really need to get out more and see the world.:sombrero:(heavy sarcing) I can't remember the name of the two "rapids" on the Huron but two time olympic white water slalom medalist Dana Chladek's father Stan used to hang gates there for her to train on when she was a...

I have a good friend that has a house in Glen Arbor so we used to put in at his neighborhood beach and paddle out to the Manitous. One year the water was so high we paddled between the bow and stearn of the ship wreck. Wow, that was probably 11 or 12 years ago already. The Northbound shipping...

A Nordkapp and an Explorer?

In the pop top we use a 3" memory foam mattress, one that is sold to fit on top of regular bed mattresses. We simply cut it to fit and put it on top of the existing so called foam. When we break down camp, we tri-fold it and put a Hefty sack on each end to keep the trail dust off it, and put it...

Yeah, thats about exactly what I'm thinking. I guess I just want to beef up the front end with a staight axle swap to before adding too much weight. Thanks.

Well done Excellent job on the trailer. Looking at the utility that it provides (I haul my Gas Gas more often than I go camping) it gives me the idea of simply mounting my backpacking tent on top of the trailer lid for the kids, while at camp. I already have a Moss Stardome II, and don't...

Ever notice all the cute girls that drive these Delica vans, then realize thats the passenger seat? We saw 8 different Delicas on our Sunshine Coast trip this August, including the run to Horshoe Bay from the border.

And they've managed to get a set of low profile BFG AT's.:Wow1: Just what the world needs.:costumed-smiley-007 That thing is cool though.

Ha! Thanks Pat. I appreciate it. Its working even better than planned for us. And She loves it,too, thats the really great part.:rally_guys: (She just said we need a winch on it because we do so much backcountry solo stuff!:wings:)

Thru camping in the backcountry of the Sunshine Coast, BC. 5 days, 4nights, 4 different camps. Ferry from Horsehoe Bay to Gibsons then by the big mill past Witherby point (gate to FSR was locked so we had to wait here till morning) After all day of backcontry exploration, caught the last...

Andre did indeed have some great points. Thanks. In the midwest in the 80's I was all about the mud bog; 40x17's. In the PNW & Canadian Southwest in the '00's, its all about picking lines thru the roots and rocks. A more narrow tire is easier to avoid rocks and roots with, and better for hard...

Oh gee, thanks Spence. I read Andre's "pardon the long" then scrolled down pardonning the entire thing with the touoch of a button. Then I read your "Fabulous write up Andre" and now i'm scrolling back up to see what I was too lazy to read!:coffee:

Dude, running solo changes everything. We just did 5 days, 4nites on the Sunshine Coast. While we did indeed have an awesome trip, we had originally planned on going with another van, a Sportsmobile. But he had to bag out 20 minutes into the trip. It changed the routes we took. We ended up...

Matt, any links to threads about how that Balzer is doing for you?

I would stand by her if her arguement was that she would worry sick of a bad accident. But not the "too many vehicles" arguement. (but yeah, I'd adios the Rabbit, too, since you brought it up.) KLRs are a dime a dozen used. Can't beat the value (even though they are not my style at all)...

I just got rearended in my '06 F-150. I got two body shop quotes. Lady who sits at a desk somewhere on the other end of the phone line working for the insurance company tells me that both qoutes are too high, so she will send me a check for the "proper" amount...quite a bit less than either...

Teaching kids is fun. My hockey buddy was teaching his four yr old to ice skate. tried the chair method bla bla bla. Finally he realized that the kid loves skiddles candy so he put the kid at center ice, gave him some skiddles and put the rest of the bag on the bench. The kid made his way to the...

:lurk: If I was in that wealth bracket, I'd take a serious look at the ER Jeep. Hell yeah. And...well,...we all know both sides of this arguement pretty well already...it's too easy to critique how others spend thier money, and we've all done it. And we've all at one time or another been the...
