Honestly, that is a great thought: Swap swamp vests at every gas stop while riding in the desert.
Unless your gas tanks have bigass range, then swap every 90 minutes.
I'll add a gauge if I can do it easily and accurately. Or maybe I won't because...
I've played (too much) with the ADV1 shock PSI/ADV1 tire PSI/my spinal fluid PSI. to be objective.
I need to levelset.
So my plan is to load the ADV1 for my upcoming trip, ignore numbers and set the sag for one...
The 'stitch folks had a popup event here in the Bay Area recently. Darn good folks who make a darn good (range) of products. They gave me a new "one less" lic plate frame thing that will go on the ADV1, once I get a proper sized plate...
Had I not lived in Phoenix for (cough) decades and...
Bloody beautiful, thanks for taking us along.
Massive thunderstorms, lighting and temps dropping from 85 to 60 in minutes flat. This is hands down my fav part of the year, no matter where I am.
Keep the reports coming
Interesting Rod! Any markings or casting marks?
I inherited a 1930s pan from the family farm, somehow cast then machined smooth on the cooking surface.
Worked great but broke and I was never able to replace it.
I told the DMV it was 95 pounds empty. I weighed my gear last year at the end of a trip and I think I came out to 80-100 pounds. I'll have to re-weigh now that I have a shelf and cooler and have adjusted tools.
My Yamaha MPG varies a LOT between 75 and faster-than-Rod-would-like. Also, my...
Cast iron sounds lovely but I've used an alcohol stove since I was an Eagle Scout. My little stove would heat up that big ol slab of iron eventually, but I think I would starve t death first.
I've always liked the sentiment of One Less Car.
And as much as I love my ADV1, there is def a time and place to ride with only what fits in the pockets of my jeans.
Having one-less-key strikes a nice balance for me :P
I may return it for the black one...
Just to be clear @PBKrarup if that 7+ ever shakes loose, I'm finding your-over-prepared-ass :p
Dimensions look good, but I'm not seeing weight on the specs of the box?
Also not sure how BMW CANBUS nonsense gets heavy gauge power to charge/recharge such a thing. Luke's wiring is brill for most...
@Jim R the best ideas come to you when you're not looking. Met my favorite ex wife that way...
@roddesu "caltrops" has been stuck in my head for weeks, just remembered hearing about them for the first time in "The Monkey Wrench Gang" Odd what pops up in the wee hours.
