I rarely do two up and never all day. But Ive got the rest I’d say.

The handlebars are pretty flat and wide compared to a lot of bikes

I’m guilty I fall right into the stereotype. Well close. Its no GS but it’s all blinged out with anodized bits and guards and luggage and a GPS with all the coffee shops locations preset. Even got me some of that fancy Klim gear now. Hope the fad doesn’t die out. I Don’t know what I’d do if I...

Exactly I highly doubt there is anyone on this site that would go everywhere I go on one bike that isn’t an ADV bike. I mean you could you just wouldn’t.

I looked at a DRZ400 or possibly KTM 690 but I still wanted touring. I’m not riding A dual sport 500+ km a day I don’t need an all out dirt bike just a bit of a dirt bike but a lot of a touring bike. I don’t need a track bike but I want to be able to ride a more spirited pace than my Road Glide...

Or you talk a buddy into buying a big adv bike so he owes you a lift 😂 He wouldn’t let me pick it up until he had a picture of the first down.

Rear tire is a TKC 70 Rocks and is actually about perfect for my riding, haven't had any issues yet with the rear. On the front I’m running TKC80 and yes it’s good in the dirt it’s meh on the street which is still most of my riding. I went with the 80 front knowing full well it is not going to...

😂 I have nothing against BMW and I may have bought a Mocha Starbucks drink at a gas station along the way. And I did stop a Tim’s in Lakefield. I know I know I said I would stop at a Starbucks but I came pretty close. Its the KTM Adventure way 🤷‍♂️ Coming up short of being a GS what can I say.

But not as fun. I had some rain today and stayed dry. I had a base layer on and stayed mostly warm enough in 7 degrees In Algonquin park. Coming down 28 I was stopped in the sun and temps got up to 12. Not warm enough to try the vents so I don’t know what they will be like in heat. I also stayed...

Just stopped in Whitney for a burger. Rides going great only a small amount of rain so far. Even had some sun through the park. Ended up riding solo.

Ride will loosely be base on this but may get altered and shortened weather pending. Starting point will be Shell at 401 and Bowmanville ave. Because I’m out of fuel 😉 8:00am.

The plan is to take a chance with the weather and see what happens. Leaving Bowmanville around 8:00am. Head up 35 to the west end of Algonquin, through the park and around toward Bancroft and back Down to Peterborough and home. May include rain and gravel. I do ride ADV but do not stop at any...

Well just picked up the Klim Latitude pants today at GP. 😳 man they sure are proud of their product aren’t they😳 sure hope they live up to the expectations. may head out tomorrow morning for a loop and see how waterproof they are

I’m late to the conversation but may I add my experience. My wife was an insurance broker 15years ago. I was a carpenter turned manager then back on tools. Money was tight and kids were on the way. My wife left her job to raise Thing 1 and Thing 2 😉. Money was then real tight. My father had...

I had been wanting it but unable to justify the cost of it and a gps for 3 years now. I just decided I want it and I’m getting it. Once it arrived I was very impressed with the fit and finish. It’s definitely worth $250. Although coupled with the cost of the gps it was an expensive upgrade that...

Well it was bound to happen 😂 I was bored yesterday so I went out for some Thanksgiving / fall colour light trails just north of my house. Was blasting down a wet gravel road and came over a hill into the middle of a flock of wild turkey. no contact but very close. Wish I had a go pro because a...

That too bad. It has been a staple stop on my tours for 25years.

I know it closed at the start of the pandemic and it was closed yesterday. Did it ever open back up? Is there any plans to open back up?

I was running just my iPhone on a ram mount for years but with my recent debut into off-road I figured time to put the phone away and safe. My bike came with the Touratech gps mount around the gauges and I’ve always admired the locking Tourtech cradle. So last week I pulled the trigger on the...
