Recommended Posts

Take your time, enjoy yourself. What’s the hurry to get home, just cause you have a wife and bird waiting for you! Can you hear them squawking from there?

Thanks for that tidbit, didn’t know of it and it’s right on my way from Waterloo after I see the John Deere museum and Field Of Dreams.

Today is a total disaster. Two flats, a new rear tire and on my way to New Mexico a sandstorm.  Wind blowing you off your bike and unsave to keep rolling.

Wait,,,  Isn't That a plug repair for a flat?  As opposed to a tube replacement.

Yes there is, 4 CO2 cans don't fill the rear tire, the mickey mouse compressor is not much help. And after 60 miles the second flat. You run out of parts and steam.

I made it home last night. After 192 hours rolling time ( riding and sitting on the bike) 8406 miles distance with an average of 46.5 miles/hour on country roads only. A nice and event full ride with a lot of unpleasant circumstances.
Did it KILL me, NO! A GOOD ADVENTURE!!!!!

This report should be copied to every naysayer "gotta have this/that/etc to travel on a bike."

Like your DR650 quick build and ride around Australia - love it. Load it and go.

I have to say two thing's : first don't ride with cycle pans. I ad a gel leak and my but where infected by the glue gel. It took some days of painful sitting on one half only. I got an Air seat cushion and even after 12 hour riding, it hurts. But Did it KILL me? NO.  good Adventure.!!!!!!!!!!!!:P
