    Planning a trip to see the "great North American solar eclipse" on August 21st

    If you go out that way, there are millions of acres of national forest you could camp in. They have campgrounds in some, but others you can just pull off the road and camp for free. Depending on where you camp, you might want to make sure you don't store any food in the frunk. A bear would...

    Seat advice

    I have a Corbin on my other bike. It does take some time to break in, but it's very comfortable if you spend some time on it. I did not need a break in period for the Russell that I have on my NC. It was comfortable from the get-go. I spent all day on it for 4 days straight.

    First long ride on the NC, impressions & lessons learned

    It road trips just fine, but it's not fast. It's the slowest bike I've ever owned, but it does the job. That's one of the reasons I picked it. I wanted a simple bike that carries what I need and gets good fuel mileage.

    I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to measure it, but 29-30" or so.

    First long ride on the NC, impressions & lessons learned

    That's the one. Works pretty well, would probably work better if I covered it to keep the sun off of it.

    First long ride on the NC, impressions & lessons learned

    First off, I bought this bike with the intention of going to Alaska on it. I've put a few farkles on it to facilitate that, so I took her for a bit of a shakedown run. 3000 miles in 5 days, 3 days' rest, then another 1000 miles home in two days. I'm not sure exactly the best way to organize my...

    I accidentally left the sidestand down once on my last trip. When I came off the center stand, I almost went over when the sidestand hit the ground. I was also afraid I had bent the sidestand...

    Really hot. Do you you ride?

    I don't like to ride when it's over 100. Even over about 95, I'd rather not go for a long ride. That being said, I just finished (today) a ride from southern Colorado to Houston. It started getting pretty hot about an hour from the Texas border. I put a cupholder on the bike specifically to hold...

    Advice re touring luggage?

    I had the same "more is better" type thoughts going into it, but after looking and a few rear view pics of the 48L side bags, I was afraid the extra width would have me bumping into things and I didn't like the look of it. Also to consider, I'm not real sure I could throw my leg over mine if I...

    Advice re touring luggage?

    I have the 37L Outbacks and 58L topcase. I can't open the saddle bags without removing them, but the extra space in the top case is worth it to me.

    No left on red?

    I've seen that as well, waited through a couple of cycles with 2 cars behind me. We all pulled up a bit and it changed almost immediately.

    Vincent, beautiful pics. I stayed in the Oban area for 10 days with my family last summer. It's an amazing part of the world. I really hope I get to ride it some day.

    Trip advice grand canyon

    Sounds like good fun. If you go back and have some time, there's a national forest road that goes south into the forest that's worth exploring. You might see some elk in there.

    Trip advice grand canyon

    If its just a drive through on the south rim, I believe I would make the loop from east to west, up hwy 89 to hwy 64. There are a number of pullouts along the rim that should have awesome views of the sunrise. We camped at the Desert View campground several years ago. It was so windy I ended up...
