Hey Peter, I'll try to remember to do this today when I'm unpacking and setting up our Touratech Rally booth.

The easiest way to mount the GL RTWs is to get their quick release system (click here) and use our parallel bars to attach them to the trailer. Our parallel bars work with nearly all standard loop/hoop systems. The two exceptions are Tusk and BMW OEM bags, which both have additional mounting...

Hey Paul, Thank you for the write up!! Tons of great information in there! In particular, I liked your thoughts on the weight being over the axle...and of course the sag!

A couple of photos from yesterday: We parked the GS and a trailer outside next to Denali, so we ended up with basically two booths. Not a very rigorous test of the shelf...she's pretty tiny! Our first demo rider! Another demo ride with Luke in the background. Our first fully loaded...

We met a TON of people yesterday! I think Luke spoke to someone who said they knew Peter. That must have been John.

Luke and I have made it to Lebanon, TN for the 2025 BMW MOA Rally! Because we need booth "stuff" we have no option but to drive. The highlight of the trip was at the Buc-ee's at the turnoff of I65 to take highways to Lebanon. Luke had never been to a Buc-ees. The guy is the blue t-shirt below is...

I have T-Mobile and last year I had great reception. I don't remember anyone complaining as they had in years past, and last year was the first year they mentioned "great cell reception" in their PR...a multi-carrier tower must have gone in sometime between 6/23 and 6/24.

Gorgeous pictures! And you're right...they do look like the Tetons. I've never experienced the trailer slipping but not the bike. When the trailer caught, what happened? Did it impact the line through the curve? Thanks for continuing to share your trip! Rod

DOH!! My grandfather owned a saw mill in White Sulphur Springs—one of three or four mills. And they all had these. In my defense, I never climbed into one though.

Salt storage dome?

Has to be @1As2Rsk from KS! He's the only KTM 890 rider with an ADV1.

I very much agree, but with one addition. I feel more stable on gravel with the ADV1...kind of like having a rudder or a drogue behind you, giving stability. For me, the ADV1 doesn't really impact the ride in a strong side wind, but that seems to mean it's making up for the increased side...

PBKrarup, once said, "I don't push the envelope, I beat it into submission... " Yeah...perhaps an understatement!

My guess is an abandoned grain silo? Abandoned grain silo with some bird nests?

Crossing the Mississippi without a bridge makes it all worthwhile!

Have a great ride! For those of you playing along at home...245 miles and Google says it takes just under 5 hours.

Amazing what you can fit into panniers! ;) The cake looks amazing!! Well done Sharon! When we lived in Tokyo, for Thanksgiving all the Americans would assemble at the house/apartment of whomever had the largest oven (99% of homes in Japan don't have ovens). For several years, it was ours. One...

Paul is exactly right! Here is a link to PDF instructions on how to adjust the shock and set the sag. The PSI doesn't matter and I would suggest you don't ever need to measure the PSI of the shock. What matters is amount of sag...which is how many inches the top of the trailer is from being at...

I love reading that you're paying attention to the sag as you add and remove weight!
