    long trip on lightweight bike

    I did 3 weeks with a CRF250 in Thailand, and ride a 250 here with plans for RTW if the opportunity should arise. Rode a KLR for a bit, but the 250 just does what I need when I need it, though it helps I am not a large guy. I think we will start to see more 250s on longer trips in the future...

    YAACV - Yet Another Astro Camper Van Build - '04 AWD, CCV Pop Top

    Obvioulsy I don't know how hot your controller gets, but that seems like a bad idea due to lack of airflow.

    Anybody heard from Colorado Camper Vans?

    Hey, can you snap a pic of the area with the rear brake light...I had to cut into mine when installing the roof vent and am concerned it may affect the top, just wondering how the back end looks. Thanks.

    Have you had a chance to use the bike hauler yet, I think that would fit my needs greatly.

    Two Latvians overlanding south

    I was lucky enough to avoid punctures down there with BFGoodrich AT/KOs 235/70R16s. Since I am under 6 foot I am planning a bed across the back to create some living space as that was one of my biggest complaints....I started with a bed for a king, and it kept getting smaller and smaller as I...

    Looking for Good Street Legal Off-Road Bike Options

    You are on the right track, I would say dont buy anything until after the course, you will get a good idea on your level of comfort with the small 200-250's, and can then decide what you should invest in.

    What are you guys using for boots?

    I like to go over the top with gear and bought some MX boots, the SIDI crossfires come highly recommended....I cannot comment yet as I need to adjust the brake before I try using them, but they seem relatively comfortable new. I am using hiking boots now which probably wouldnt even stay on my...

    new 2015 ford transit full size van

    In Quigleys defense I believe they are working with ford and will be using approved parts...but then again everything Ford said about this van has been off so I stopped following it once I gave up on them, so that info may be incorrect on my part

    ATGATT - Just another opinion....

    In the past I have searched for stats that show that a neck brace reduces motorcycle injuries vs other pieces of gear, but mostly found info on causes, rather than results of accidents. I am interested in seeing the numbers if anyone has them, but I do not think its broken down that way, its...

    ATGATT - Just another opinion....

    The bottom of the womans legs looked like spaghetti from the shins down, boots would have definitely prevented her death, as her upper body, which had proper gear, was relatively untouched. To each his own, stay safe.
