    This is what continually amazes me: moving weight off the bike onto the trailer makes it all but dissappear. Here is an 18 pack on the shelf, brought home, and after KSU I forgot about it the entire ride home. IFYKYK

    Weight/Balance Question

    One man's opinion: I trail brake, a lot. I noticed after the first 2-3k miles that I was not trail braking as heavily in the chicane. Might be the trailer putting a couple pounds of unsprung weight on the rear axle, might be conservation of rotational energy in the third axle, might be my...

    R1250GSA w/ Bumot and Touratech 45Ltr Panniers and PASQ Shelves, Nanuk 938 Case and Igloo Cooler

    Love it. My cooler will be just that, but pulling the liners out of my soft bags to get them into a hotel (along with my office-backpack) was always 2 trips. Intrigued by the idea of everything-in-one...

    ~50k miles ago I paid for my Tenere, kitted out, about what I paid for my ADV1. I beat hell out of both of them, neither seems ready to quit. Not sure which purchase has brought me more joy...

    Weight/Balance Question

    I'm reminded of the young Buddhist monk and the ancient Buddhist monk crossing a bridge over a river. The young monk asks if enlightenment is like the river below or the sky above. The ancient one throws the youngster into the river and says "Swim in it and figure it out" Peter, I feel your...

    Bags on the Bike?

    @Jim R I ❤️ my Bumots. I have bashed them on granite, in mud and on a Tacoma fender and they just keep asking for more. @rod My big RH Bumont locking hardcase carries my office (laptop in bag) and it has for most of 30k(?) miles. Laptop-in-bag-in-locked-pannier. When I'm mobile, I need to be...

    I'm of two minds: Mount the LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery(ies) linked to a foldable solar array on the ADV1 powering a StarLink antenna (lord knows we have the room for such insanity) and work lit-er-all-ly from anywhere on the big blue marble or Keep my SPOT close and get the hell away from all...

    It's not just the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada got snow down to 4000' yesterday. But I like where your head is at Paul!

    I would just about bet that floating .22 when collapsed would fit in the lockbox.

    Jim’s Accessories Wishlist

    Great minds and all that. I nudged the boys about a QR code or logoing on the shelf when it is folded up. And I've tried to move the ADV1 around like a wheelbarrow but the trap wants to do it's thing. Maybe with a patented backup device...

    Jim’s Accessories Wishlist

    "long cargo baskets" I swear the first image in my head was 4077 MASH helicopters carrying wounded. I carry a MC specific med kit, used once in 20 years, I wonder if first responders or bicycle cops could find a use for a lightweight trailer with an AED plus serious medkit? Late night imagining...

    Easy Saturday ride out to explore and pick a place to camp, lazy Sunday morning to explore more and wander home. Remind me again why I live in California?
