    Expedition vehicle - how did you decided on yours

    BTW, to answer the OP's question.... 1) Engine & drivetrain reliability with a low number of TSBs 2) Stock configuration capability 3) Parts (OEM & aftermarket) availability 4) Overall simplicity & durability

    I know better, but I'll ask anyway - why not MRE's

    Ultra high in calories. Better be doin' some high-octane exercises to burn off the ton of calories if you eat more than one in a day. Agree with everybody else here....great for emergencies but why eat them if you can carry some quality ingredients?

    1986 Syncro Westy For Sale

    Correct. Lucas does not endorse the Subaru swap. He does provide several ported Wasserboxer engine options which produce more horsepower. http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_category.php?id=82

    Apparently Honday is announcing a new adventure bike?

    Just what we need....another manufacturer marketing a big, fat bike to sheep-like consumers. Baaaa....

    Expedition vehicle - how did you decided on yours

    The Jewish Bruiser from Georgia had a heart attack?! A FEW ?!!? I would never have guessed. My cholestorol recently decided to start going north despite a stellar diet and exercise program. Since you've had a few heart attacks and you're still kicking ***, can I come up from Florida and get...

    Titles for campers?

    FWC provides a certificate upon purchase from them. As a previous poster wrote, in Colorado it's simply truckbed cargo and no state documentation is required.

    Not available from the factory but for a price you can customize any bike to either look, perform or look and perform like a rallye bike. Your best start point would be to browse the www.britanniacomposites.com webpage. Past that, if you're looking for more race-bred fairings and components...

    Open Water Swimmers

    Just moved to Florida and am getting out of the pool and into the ocean for my swimming workouts. Just wondering if there are others on here to share some training notes, etc. I have a 3 mile race coming up in January in Tampa Bay.

    Need input on a commuter bike build

    I'm smitten with Gunnar bikes. You'd probably want the Fastlane. However, the Salsa Vaya would be a great bike, too, although you won't get an internal hub.

    Realigning aluminum road frame?

    Yep, I used to pull bikes out of the box and was alarmed at the number of frames that were out of alignment from the factory. I had more problems with Specialized's QC than I did with Trek but that was also the late 80s / early 90s.

    My new Manitou fork for my Litespeed MTB. Really scrubs off the harshness of riding over exposed roots plus the lockout is the jazz when I want to get into the big ring up front. Oh, can't forget to include my NR helmet mount....I'm much faster now that I can look way ahead whenever I want.

    My recommendation is to go with the DR for reasons that are based on my observations and formed opinions after studying what type of thumper to buy back in 2002. One: You don't have to fool with changing out the radiator fluid since the DR is air/oil cooled. If you're racking up the miles...

    Honda XR650L: Lightweight Adventurer

    It's the painter, not the brush. I think the KTM 950 will do all of that under a skilled rider. While it might require a little more work in the tight stuff, it will handle it without issue, IME. Why Scott went from a KTM 950 to a BRP is somewhat (not completely) a mystery to me given that...

    Best lighting for snowy conditions

    Hilldweller, his light recommendations and his links to the Dan Stern webpages are going to get between me and my wallet....those Cibie lights are the bomp-diggity :smiley_drive: .

    Yep, +1. BRPs are called BRPs for a reason.

    Project Serenity: an 08 Tacoma DC overland build-up

    Holy crap....the vendors must know your debit/credit card number by heart. BTW, your mix of ACU, OCP and coyote brown is simply marvelous but a touch of temperate woodland BDU would really transform your interior into something truly divine. :elkgrin:
