The trailer looks great :thumbup: it's playing locally TINSELTOWN WITH XD, Colorado Springs, CO (3 miles).

I've been posting some stuff on FB and tagging MN/C, David F B and others - the riding here is SPECTACULAR.

I prefer to see this as an adventure and be positive, not some dire smack-down.... :thumbdown: on you.

Would like to watch motorcycles doing anything.....but by the trailer it looks to be made in the present day genre of reality TV (puke)....which means little motorcycling and too much talking, winning, b*tching, moaning, etc.....

Well.....if you want to go on an extended ride carrying lots & lots of stuff (tent, cloth, food, etc...) a beamer is a good choice. I would choose the 800GS however.

Well, it is a Triples Forum, and we are all different, and this is just 1 opinion, but - they load those bikes up with more cargo than a C-130 Hercules can carry, so why don't they just go by plane if they want to take everything with them. (Been on several 1,000 mile + rides on H1/H2's) Like I say, just 1 opinion, but it amuses me a bit! :D

I like ADV riding, especially now that I am olde......uh,.... more experienced, broken too many bones on dirt bikes. :D We don't ride off cliffs or do anything stupid but have gotten into some tough situations with 1,000CC plus bikes.

Kemp Stewart New Enduro Champion RIP Kemp

They call it, "Adventure Riding" for a reason. This is Paul, (New England Hares Scrambles Champion), Myself, and Timmy in the rain, Northern Maine. We came upon a rocky, steep downhill that disappeared around corners and we could not see what lay at the bottom. We sent our, "Gopher" Joe down the hole on his KLR650 because he had the light bike. :crazy: I don't know if it was the rain or the terrain but we couldn't hear Joe's bike, and we never heard our shouts returned. We had no choice but to go down the hill and find Joe. We all eventually made it to an abandoned railroad section and God save us, to tar. Wet, tired, and hungry, we had a blast!


Image

Breakdowns are common and you have to be prepared, that's why some of the stuff that is in those bags are tools and spares. We don't just carry shorts, flip flops, and Jagermeister in them ya know.

Image

Amazes me what can blow through a tire. Especially a new Conti TKC 80. This is a piece of that trap rock they use on railroads.

Image


Tim loves it when we have breakdowns, and especially flats. He jumps right in and takes over. The rest of us just hang around and watch. Tim carries just about everything we need, for just about any situation. He even carries one of those little Army folding shovels. I asked him what that was for once and he said, "To bury the body" :?


Image


Sometimes the bags can take a beating.

Image


A great piece of track is The Sunrise Trail in Maine. You can get some miles in quickly here and be at the border in no time.

Image


Tims' plate says it all.

Image


You just can't beat a nice two track that goes to, who knows where? Actually, we are pretty prepared navigation wise. We have local maps and use the Garmin Zumo GPS Units that we pre plan our routes out on a PC. Most of the dirt roads in back woods areas don't connect to anything. They go to people's camps or are old logging roads that just go in and stop. The preplan GPS on a PC beforehand is a big help to connect the right dirt roads to form a connecting loop but it is far from perfect, so you need maps, and even then we always get lost.

Image


Northernmost point in Nova Scotia on The Cabot Trail, what a view.

Image

There is this little Clam Shack there if you get a chance to go. Best chowder anywhere, anywhere.

Image


I could go on and on and dig out pics to tell stories to, but the best thing I like about ADV riding is the Camaraderie. End of the day you are happy that you have such good friends to ride with. I think as far as motorcycles go, it's all good. It's the folks you ride with that make the difference.

L to R - Joe, Myself, Tim, & Paul

Going to The Gap this year besides our 2 strokes we have a good group of ADV bikes coming. 2 KTM 990 ADVs, 1 BMW GS1200, 1 Kawasaki KLR650, 1 Suzuki DRZ400, 2 Suzuki DRZ 650s. The GPS is loaded and we plan on having another great adventure.
