Ha! I call it the pig, I hate going down tight lose gravel switchbacks. After a few minutes of that I want to get off the bike and walk it. Other than that, it's bearable. I'm going to look into the Tiger, I was planing to, more so now than before. I want a used one so when I drop it, I won't...
The Tiger is a consideration, but like I had mentioned, I've never actually ridden one. Folks that I have spoken to who own one love it. But until my butt gets some saddle time on the bike it's just good to know info. Most people lack objectivity when it comes to things of passion. Bikes are...
Haven't considered the 650, the bike will be used 90/10 road off road. I can see where it would be best off road, but on road performance? I don't know, I've never ridden one so I'm making a lot of assumptions. The last 650 I rode was a SV, impressive little beast as it was, it had heavily...
I'm ok with the quirks of the GS, I'm a bulky guy 220lbs 6' and the bike fits my riding style, except when I get tired and it wants to kill me. I can't do the KLR or the DR for that matter, and I agree with your observations about the KLR guys lol. I like the Vstrom. I like it a lot actually but...
Are you asking why this bike specifically or what is the purpose for getting the bike?
Why this bike? Because its easy to get parts and it handles really good off and on road.
The purpose is to serve as a Pre runner and alternate vehicle. Also makes filming video a lot easier.
I got the letter allowing me to ship the Taco to Europe today. I had a lots of tension waiting to see what was going to happen. Learned a very valuable lesson. Although all the modification comply with TUV standards, I neglected to ask permission from the Bank that financed the truck. I only owe...
Sounds like a bad knock sensor, or wrong gap in the plugs, plug cables or the ECU. But you just described classic bad knock sensor problems. And sorry for the hijacking. But yeah, how about them Land Cruisers, Right!

I'll do it tonight when I get to the hotel. I like how the mag is not a regurgitation of the usual stuff. I'm impressed with your content. That doesn't happen very often. Any way I could get the publication mailed to me in Germany? Or is digital my only option?
Thank you all. Currently own a 17 foot and a 14 foot Necky's and a pyranha fusion. The fusion is the boat I plan to carry on my trips.

Overlanding with a Kayak
Headed out on a kayak camping trip, My Overlanding Buddy Justin is sporting a custom made wood paddle, its light, sleek, cool looking and made to his specifications. He is wearing a Stohlquist PFD.
Ovelanding is a gateway to adventure. To some its about the exciting...
Oh wow 500, that's very conservative.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the seat. I had a 2012 WRX that gave me hot-spots and made my butt go numb after a few hours in the seat.
