@Jim R My experience is identical to yours. When I stop overthinking it, the trailer simply isn't there. As far as that real/imagined feeling, you know when you put a noob backpack on and they don't lean in with you exactly, they have not yet learned how? You lean, then a moment later, they...

Great it's 3 AM and now I want chowder... Funny to see I'm not the only one with multiple helmets when travelling! Road touring, ADV and a skid lid incase I need a legal spare for a grocery run.

Innow cameras are the shit. Pricey but as reliable as a leaded sap. @FirstR8 thanks for he repeated rides, it's that kind of data that helps us quantify the magical mystery tour that is the ADV1.

There is a ton of Eastern Washington and Oregon and on into southern Idaho that is nothing but high plains desert. Dry, flat, hot.

It's the little things, like stripping and recoating with zinc, that make the ADV1 so special. It shows the care and forethought, right down to the nuts and bolts.

Yikes! I'll have to check mine when I'm back home... My Rtic 20-can soft-sided cooler is big enough for my purposes, not giant, footprint smaller than the shelf, shorter than the latch. Even loaded, a single ROK strap through the loops of the cooler hold it in place nicely. One a LOT bigger...

Let's keep talking about where we might all ross paths again...

Seriously, laughing out loud Paul.

IT has been my immense privilege to live in a country where a fool with a high school education can ride his Vulcan to His Honda to And his Yamaha to There were Suzukis and Harleys and KTMs and BulTacos and Vespas and other states and other brands I'm sure I forgot in the mix. Now...

@Gunhog6 it was great to meet you, all too briefly. The breakfast was tasty, the cook was a Sex Bob-Omb, so the ptomaine poisoning was almost worth it. Let's do it again next year!

Gotta say @B2E2RUN I recently put a hundred miles on a Pan America. HD 10,000% crushed it with that engine. That mill should be in every bike they make. Self-lowering suspension just bloody worked and was invisible, I would kill to take it to the track and dial it in. Ergos were solid as...

Agreed, are you hanging from the rafters? LOL

@Paul I had the privilege to live for a few years where America was quite flat, and quite beautiful. Of particular memory was one evening, watching the sun settle over a billion acres that feed a nation. That sunset has never left my mind. While I prefer the contrast of mountains and oceans...

100% serious about the Velcro-able patch for the storage nook. IF your wife is up to make another like yours (love the red/white), LMK the cost and where to venmo her.

Sorry I missed chatting with Jimmy. I love the movies and all things cinema. Guess I need to hang around Rod/PASQ more!
