    Harley to get into the adventure bike game

    I remember those days too. :) I spent many an hour at my local HD dealer weighing my options, but money was tight ... and I couldn't justify another bike. I really liked the idea of the Buell concept. The super torquey and reliable 1200 platform in a sport tourer / dual sport frame should...

    2017 JKU Big Bear - Stock to Overland Build

    Good looking Jeep. Simply stunning photography.

    Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

    I really like the exterior aesthetics of the new JLU. The new grill, hood side vents, and "rounded body edges" (my best description) work, imho. And I am intrigued to try the new 6MT. That said, I have no plans to trade in my JKU for a JLU. Maybe in years time, I will buy one, tho.

    Harley to get into the adventure bike game

    I always had a soft spot for the Buell Ulysses. Wanted one but my FXST met my needs all too well. Anyhow, this monstrosity ... I dunno.

    Garmin inReach SE+ Satellite Communicator at Costco for $289.99 (Aug 2018)

    I have the most basic, least expensive montly plan. It costs something like $13/month, and outbound texts are like $0.10 each. For me, the fee structure for unsubscribing/subscribing worked out to be more than just leaving it on full time. Plus there is the convenience of having it, and not...

    Garmin inReach SE+ Satellite Communicator at Costco for $289.99 (Aug 2018)

    Absolutely, correct. The text feature is especially nice. And, I do use it a lot. I don't use the map share feature, but I know that people do like it.

    who is using a real gps vs a tablet

    I have used a Garmin Oregon 450 for hiking and Jeep navigation for some time. I like the fact that I can use a single device for both activities. That said I am starting to toy with the idea of upgrading to this for my Jeep: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/539722

    Garmin inReach SE+ Satellite Communicator at Costco for $289.99 (Aug 2018)

    No worries. :) I do a lot of backcountry hiking in the Grand Canyon, and some years ago decided to carry a PLB after witnessing another party use their uni-direction SPOT. I choose the then Delorme InReach SE because of the text feature. Anyhow, this past spring I was hiking down the Hermit...

    Garmin inReach SE+ Satellite Communicator at Costco for $289.99 (Aug 2018)

    I have no opinion on whether or not the price is good. But, I have a very positive opinion of this device. Highly recommended. And no, no affiliation with Delorme / Garmin. I just had the unfortunate opportunity to use the SOS function, and it worked.

    Please recommend Powertank / CO2 fill service - PHX AZ

    I will explain my reasoning for buying a PowerTank. I have a Viair 300P which works okay for my 255/80/17 KM2's. I have been contemplating an upgrade for some time, and debated between a more powerful electric compressor and CO2. I may go up a tire size (35's) when it is time for new tires...

    in reach

    Another happy InReach user here. I take it with me whenever I am in the backcountry, and often use the text feature to keep in touch with friends and family. I did have to call an SOS last March and was very pleased with it's performance.

    Please recommend Powertank / CO2 fill service - PHX AZ

    Does anyone have experience with CO2 fill service vendors in the Phoenix AZ or the SE Valley? Google presents a number of vendors, but I am wondering if anyone has specific recommendations, good or bad. I am looking to fill a 10lb Powertank. Thanks!

    WTB 1st gen Tundra

    Congratulations on finding your Tundra! I bought a brand new 1st Gen Tundra AC, SR5, TRD 4wd in 2000. Trouble free except for a bad intake manifold and the infamous rusty frame. Loved that truck but after 14 years and 180k, I had to make some hard decisions. The frame condition scared me. The...
