Keeping an eye on this thread: if my camping plans for next weekend fall through, I'm in.

I'm in. See you a bit before 7. Will be on a dusty and stickered GS1200. Edit: See you a bit before 8. Glad I checked my PM's... :)

200,000+ touring kms on chain drive. Lube every 800-1000 kms OR after every ride in the rain. Never clean. Adjust as required. Chains last 30,000+ kms and look like crap. Sprocket changes every 2 chains. Carry on...

Show is postponed till July 9th due to heavy rain. I'm in East York, but camping this weekend (as soon as this rain lets up). A bicycle seat guy would have all the skills, for sure. A seat is a seat...

That's a really interesting idea - I'm going to noodle on that. Ideally I'm looking for both. The solution doesn't have to be pretty, but I'd like it to be elegant. The rest of the bike is FAR from perfect, so I'm not looking for extreme craftsmanship, just a neat solution that isn't going to...

I have a longstanding project I'm looking to get finished, but one outstanding thing is the seat. I'm not looking for anything complicated, but the seat has to be removeable or lift somehow because the bolts for the seat pan are right where the seat should be. Anyone have any recommendations?

Sure!

I need to update my bike list - the DL is gone, and the GS was waiting on parts. The good thing about that area is that at higher elevations, it's quite cool. I started and finished my days at lower elevations and spent the hottest part of the days at higher elevations.

I'm in the process of doing the exact same maintenance on my R1200GS LC. I got some Loc-Tite moly assembly paste from Glen at Flying Squirrel. Cost me $25 for a little tub, and it's the right stuff.

Am I the only one bemoaning the loss of the v4? That motor was amazing. If they had stuffed a v4 into it and kept the Venture heritage, they would have been on the right track. With the demise of Victory, there's room for a futuristic, fully capable tourer... putting a big air-cooled twin in...

Great trip. Goddamn it my knees hurt. I'm too old to tour on a sporty bike.

#@$* it, I'm headed out tomorrow for a wander. 4 or 5 days south-ish into PA / WV with no firm plans. Medium to brisk pace, aiming for back roads and twisties. Kickstand up @ 5 am. Anyone want to join me?

I do tend to rush, but this trip is actually a relaxed one from a daily mileage perspective, all things considered. From my pov there are too many variables to really count on enjoying camping in Labrador. The bugs, the weather, the roads, so we're going to make it happen at a pace we're...

Kijiji listing seems to be this one: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/chatham-kent/vstrom:/1249484861?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Again, I have no real issue with the mileage, but if you're really going to look at buying that bike there's a couple of things to keep in mind. 1. You'll...

Totally agree, but we all know it's a buyer's market. And for some crazy reason, the DL1000 does not hold it's value as well as the little brother. I bought a Gen 1 DL1000, with factory luggage and many of the usual farkles, with 30,000 kms, for $3000. That was BEFORE the gen2's came out -...
