I have a Eureka El Capitaine 3, and I love it. I'm 6'3", and sleep on an air mattress, so I want a tent that's a bit bigger. I love the twin gear lockers, and the fact I can get out of the tent on both sides. I pack the tent and the fly seperate from the poles, so it doesn't seem like it packs...

PM sent.

Maybe when we sticky the roads we can add who recommended them, and whether that person has personally ridden the road, and what year? That way we can age the reco and if we know who made it, understand if the reco aligns to our riding style...dont want to make it too complicated, but some idea...

This is a super-great thread, but can we give some thought to organization? I can see this thread quickly becoming clogged up and unusable...perhaps this is the thread where we can all post our suggestions and comments on roads, and in another that's sticky we can have the final product that...

Ugh. The stock location and setup, and only the stock location and setup, are legal. Any modification of the placement of the plate, and the turn signals, for that matter, are illegal. Will a cop give you a hard time over it? Maybe, maybe not. That squidrun is clearly going to make things...

I rode it last year (or was it the year before last?). It was a huge letdown for me. The best way I have of describing it is that it's like the most boring parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway without the mountains. It's interesting from a historical perspective (it's the route that northern...

4 days from Toronto is not aggressive - it's par for the course and I've done it twice. The only difference is that on my trips I spent a day in Radisson, but I could have gone without that rest day. If you can be on your motorcycle for 12 hours a day for 4 days in a row, and you can manage...

I can't see how this could be anything but 100% the fault of the other vehicle. I've used Markham Outdoor Power as a shop for damaged Hondas in the past, and they've been quite good. I wouldn't waste your time with a body shop though - take it to a bike dealer. They'll have better access to...

I've had very good luck calling Twisted Throttle. They were able to look up Givi part numbers and order just the replacement parts that I needed.

The other thing to take into account is that the asking price on Kijiji is not the final sale price. The asking price HAS to be higher than what you actually are hoping to get, because everyone wants to haggle. I don't have a problem haggling, I do it when I'm on the buying end myself, but if...

I actually really struggled with this, because I'm dead certain that the motel owner of the place I was planning to stay with wouldn't support the bill. I really gave some thought to "who am I punishing". Unfortunately, where I landed was that while I can't vote, they can. What I'm doing is...

I debated whether or not to post this here, and despite the suspicion that this thread is going to devolve quickly, I'm going to anyway. Recently, the NC state legislature has enacted a mind-boggling piece of legislation, called "The Bathroom Bill", or HB2. I'll give you my understanding of...

Great question. I bought a cheap oil pan, and when I was done I poured the old oil back Ito the container the fresh oil came from (in my case Rotella T6). I did the oil changes in the parking lot of either a Canadian tire or a Wal Mart, which both have service bays. I either left the oil outside...

In total, I think it was just over 30 days, and about just over 18,000 kms. 3 sets of tires. 3 oil changes in the field. 2 air filters And I still have grime on my bike from that trip.

I couldn't get the Google maps link to work, so apologies if you have this already covered. If you're heading West, go through SD. Hit the Badlands. Hit Wall Drug (you will have seen signs for it for 500 miles). Hit 16A on your way to Mount Rushmore - trust me on this, it can be crowded, but...

They are not cheap and not perfect, but the best solution for gear over professional clothing is the tried and true Aerostich Roadcrafter. I have the two-piece which works just as well as the 1 piece. Pros: 1. Can be worn over everything and will still be comfortable. Clothes won't wrinkle...

I think this is a solid idea and I just registered. I don't see this at all as further fragmentation. I see a big hole in the market, so to speak, and if this forum helps to address it then it will be helpful. There's a place for paid memberships - trails need to be created, maintained and...

I did the Dempster in 2014. This just gives me a reason to go back. :)
