The nemo FILO pillow is worth every penny. I have one, I think I have two actually. I did have one of thier airbeam tents a while back. Can’t remember the name of it.....I did not like it at all. Couldn’t sell it fast enough. I like my exped tent because the inner and outer are connected and...

For panniers I have 2 sets of givi E36s and one E45. I like these. Lightweight yet strong with excellent carryvhandles. I have a set of E 41s?....the ones with the little lockable flip open door. Givi again. A set of Tusk aluminum bags. A set of Kappa K venture aluminum bags. A couple of Kreiga...

I ride differently on both my bikes...2008 f650gs and a 2004 hayabusa. I poke along on both actually but sometimes I want to play a bit and the busa is great for that. I play by myself and I am very careful where my playground is. I have EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY pass me when I am on the...

I just remembered a CBR I went to look at a long time ago. While I was there, he had some other guy looking at the bike at the same time and then was on the phone saying “this guy on the phone says he will give me more than asking, he is five mins away”.....trying to play 2 people off each other...

I have bought many bikes off kijiji sight unseen. I ALWAYS call and chat with the seller. What do we talk about? Bikes, of course. What we had, what we want, what we didn’t like.....I am building a rapport with the seller and I genuinely enjoy talking bikes. When it comes around to discussing...

In case you change your mind and go through the states, stop at Aerostich in Duluth. Always something interesting parked out front and lots of fun wandering around looking at all the stuff we can’t get/don’t have here.

Wow, what a sexist comment from zr600 concerning female riders. :rolleyes::rolleyes: I mean really, wtf?

No it doesn't but last year I put a zip lock bag of ice in my back protector pocket but it didn't work as well as I would have like, it was way to low on my back.

I have another question.....since I have never ridden out southwest, am I going to die from heat in my Klim overland? The venting is decent, better than the latitude, imo, but will I still find it unbearable? I don’t currently own a mesh jacket so I’m thinking I should pick one up. I have no...

Wonderings.......I have been looking at my Colorado map but I keep thinking I would probably find Utah more interesting. Or New Mexico.....Santa fe! Something that is dramatically different from here. I have done mountains , in Europe, in Mexico, in WV, western Canada, and they are fun and all...

You just showed to the gate attendant? You didn’t have to hand it over so they could check that it was actually issued to you? ” Asking for a friend”? ;)

I know. It used to be like that on 81 around,Syracuse but it's been much better the last few years.

I can't imagine the masking tape lasts to long in the rain. I have paper that fits into my map pocket that I write the days route onto. I slide the old one to the bottom and replace it with my new days route. I keep them and have fun reliving my trip. I too am distracted by a gps. Plus I don't...

you mentioned some brands that say they are waterproof, the sentry? and the "troy"? in pants? you will have no fallback when they aren' "waterproof" ....and they won't be. I fell into that trap years ago and learned a wet and expensive lesson. but I think it' a journey we all make with our gear...

gosh, I have had everything mentioned. I started with Joe rocket back in the day. the ballistic series which I likes, at that time there were some very nice features provided for the cost but I wouldn' look at JR now. I have a oylmpia ast and the Ranger pants both which I like , again some very...

since I ride solo ,I tend not to go off road. I try and keep my risk level to a minimum while so far from home since I don' have a riding partner to help pick up the pieces. but thanks!

thanks. I want to see non Ontario scenery. red rocks, dramatic shadows, scrub, cacti, you get the drift. it' been a while since I've seen that, not since my ride down through southern Mexico.

magnets preferred. I'm looking for the 2.0 low profile or the 12 litre one. the low profile is a 5 but expands to 10. I'm not sure if I can fit on the bike with a 12 but hopefully....

gene, do you remember what route you rode when you went off the highway? I see a couple of options when I look at my map.
