Motorcycles

Did a bit of reading over the weekend break. Just reading the "What kind of bike" should I get questions. They are worthwhile reading because people always throw out some interesting ideas you never considered or even knew about.

Touring. You can get a:
Big cruiser bike and take that cross country. Not made for adventure touring or 1st class but what experience do you want?
Sport Tourer. A bit like a pocket rocket bike with the body work but has some window protection and little better riding position for the long hauls
Full Tourer. Honda Gull wing, BMW. Big bikes. Pack everything but the kitchen sink, ABS, adjustable suspension. The winnebago of motorcycle tourers.
Adventurer Tourer. Dual purpose. On road manners and off road know how. Looks only a mother could love but your desert awaits.
None of the above except the owner is determined to get to their destination.

Everytime I start reading, I find there's another bike I could go for. So I was looking at the new KTM Adventure 1180?. For experienced riders. So YT has some interesting vids on this new bike. Looks the goods for real off the tarmac adventure.

Someone suggested a cheap alternative basic bike you can build up to be an adventure tourer. Suzuki DR650.

YT finds me this guys video which was a good laugh.

There is a sequel to that but it's Adults Only IMO so be warned.

Then there's this epic bush ride. Seems like about 8 of them. The girls put in an awesome effort I think.

It has a removable pillion and luggage carrier.

This one is an FLHR carbureted model. My last one was an FLHRI EFI. THE carb model actallymmakes more torque.

The EFI was built to stage II kit EV 27 Andrews cam and Vance and Hines 2 into 1 exhaust.

I am going to put the Stage I air intake, Andrews EV-27 cam, Thunderslide kit in the carb with a Super Trapp 2into1 exhaust system. If the Sreaming Eagle Ignition module doesn't change the advance curve I may leave the stock module.

I had an '87 I put Edlebrock heads with a Crane cam. I put an Edlebrock Quicksilver carb on it. That turned out to be a mistake. The engine vibrations cause the adjustable main jet needle valve to change. It got too lean and burned up the rear cylinder. The heads are a waste of money because on a highway machine stock heads flow all,the air the engine needs to perform well. It had 187,000 miles with the original cylinders and lower end untouched. It never used oil until the rear jug seized.

The EFI never makes 80ft/lbs of torque

I first came across our Oroville Dam friend Juan because of his adventure riding in the Sierras and surrounds. Here's what he gets up to on his bike and what he takes on a journey.

Nothing and I do mean nothing almost can not beat a set of warm tits drilling into your back as she rides on the "P" pad, with the added arm rest her legs provide as her arms are locked to you, ask me how I know.. ;D

That was a pretty good video Juan made of his 1000 mile backcountry tour.

Me and two friends in 2000 went from Reno, Nevada on US 50 to Parker, Colorado up I-25 then into Lusk, Wyoming, across to Sturgis, South Dakota to Bella Forche, South Dakota, across to Devil's Tower in Wyoming to Custer's battlefield in Montana, north to Great Falls, Montana, through Glacier National Park across the panhandle of northern Idaho, along the Columbia river then down to Medford where we separated. My to friends were in a hurry to get home so they went down I-5 into California and on to Reno. I went to Crater Lake, then down through Klamath Falls, Oregon and into northern California down Hiway 139 through Adin to Susanville, then US-395 to Reno. I can't remember the exact mileage but it was close to a 2500 mile journey.

monty did you stop at the general store in Aladdin between Belle Fourche and Devils Tower? It's a pretty interesting place to browse through the things they have on display for sale. Lots of antiques that come from the surrounding area. I always seem to find something in there I can't live with out. The store is for sale and I found a video of an interview with the owner.

No, Tumbleweed, we didn't. We did find some interesting small towns in northern Montana. I think one was close to Flathead Lake. I have forgotten the name. There was a restaurant where the woman served homestyle meals. That was best food I have ever eaten in a restaurant.
