Everyone should want to visit that spot! If not, time to hang up the keys & take up dust collecting!

Hey guys! Little bit of motorcycle overlanding here. 2008 R1200GSA. Rode part of the MABDR last month. Good times! Saw another BMW that looked like mine so I figured I’d show you a couple!

I'll see if I can dig up my pictures from the Northwest Territory. That was an epic trip!

MABDR is on my "to do" list! Just gotta decide if I wanna do it on the DR350 OR THE V Strom 650.

You guys have got me wanting to go get my bike license again. I imagine a bike like this and a hammock camper, maybe some jet-boil rigs would be wicked on the trails.
Got me a new toy a few weeks ago. 2014 crf250 bored out to 300cc.
Fuel injected and currently set up with super moto wheels, brakes and tires.
It came with the factory rims and tires but they need new tires. I'll get some DOT dirt tires when I have the suspension tuned up.
I already put on a luggage rack, USB power supply ports with integral battery monitor, new headlights and turn signals and a phone/GPS holder with USB power supply ports as well
The supermoto set up is way too much fun but i can't wait to hit the dirt.
Edit* tonight I went to goodwill and bought a nice piece of luggage that I modified and mounted to the rack. I friggin love it.

I can’t wait to get home and take a ride/overland trip with my favorite traveling partner, my wife. 
won’t be long now.

Got some Dunlop D606's in for my crf yesterday.
Taking it to the shop today to have the suspension gone though and tuned up.
I'm so excited to get dirt tires on this. My coworker just picked up a dual sport wr426f and my other good friend is getting new tires on his drz400.
They both say they are down to do some dual sport camping but I'm not sure if we have the same definition of camping I am a Eagle Scout and have very little requirements to be happy in the bush. Let's see who's willing to man up and take the ride with me

She's almost ready for battle.
I picked her up last night and quickly
installed some new parts that arrived while she was in the shop.
I love the way she sits. I got a 90 instead of 80 on the rear tire so she sits a little taller than factory now. Love it.

Those are some mean looking machines. Great job. Been telling my buddy to put dirt tires on his fz-07 for the longest now. I'll have to show him these, maybe that will convince him.

Heck ya mate! I really recommend the TKC80’s and Metzler Karoo tires.
No more "Angry Bird", say hello to the new face lift crf300L
Only a few more upgrades and spare parts to buy then she's ready for the battle field.
Yesterday I made some brackets and mounted some new lights . The yellow halogen is for driving around town and the light bar is to illuminate the abyss.
I was able to leave the factory harness 100% intact without any modification to the wiring.
Also wired the blinkers on the bark Buster's.
Looks like it's going to be raining this weekend so I'll be installing the race tech front spring upgrade and rebuilding the forks, as well as doing a oil change.

Sick! Racetech makes killer springs and suspension parts

She also got a oil and filter change.
Installed a neutral indicator light, gps Speedo, battery volt meter, USB port, new shift lever and a taller kickstand,.
Tonight I am going to install the Trail Tech tto temperature sensor and gauge. Also wire in a low fuel indicator light.
