I don't disagree. I wouldn't do it again, but to answer your question. I contacted Conti and they pointed me to a commercial tire shop in Boise and these guys put on a new set (5 tires) last month and it only took them 15 mins (I timed them) they took the tires off,... the rims in about 10 mins to install and air up the new wheel. They look at this video prior to me showing up which made them comfortable in doing the job. But the job isn't for the faint of hearts for sure. Both Buckstop in OR and DBL in Texas now have rims that can withstand 10,000 pounds . If you go that route like you suggested, life will be a lot easier and you will be welcomed at more tire shops.

Hahaha that’s so cool … that was a long time ago. I still have my bike and love it … I’m out in my new rig … see it on instagram under account “graulos”

@@carmas54 my bike is the same bike you have.

7 speed auto

Yeah sure… I love it I still have since the time I did that video. And it’s still going going strong. It’s faded just a little bit but it’s still very visible …. I wore it yesterday… zippers are all intact …. It’s as good as née for being used lol

@@brandonhalcyon6984 Yes, they are :-)

Excellent!

how do you plan on using "the" or "a tent"? This was my first tent and I learned what I like about it and what I didn't like about it too. I need a tent to take with me when I went motorcycle camping. This one weighed 12 pounds with tons of room and great if you're going to be at specific location for several days. But, when you're traveling several hundred miles a day, I wanted something that I could pitch quickly. After a while I realized that I wanted to travel lighter on my bike, so I picked up a Kelty tent that weighs 6 pounds for hot weather camping and then the same year I got a Snugpak Bunker tent that weighed 7-8 pounds because you could put the tent up in the rain without getting the inside wet. The Kelty had a separate rain sheet that you put on separately, which is great if it's not raining. I started noticing that there where specific designs that I like more than others. They're some people that own a tent for every day of the weeks, I didn't want to be that guy. I have since then sold my Redverz tent, not because its not a great tent... (and i sold my Snugpak bunker tent too), but not because they were bad tents but because I now know how I want to use "A" for my own needs. I also like to buy the best and cry once afterwards. Hilleberg tent is the place I would direct you or anybody to. The have been making tents for the longest time, and you can't beat the quality, the are pricey, but it will the last tent you will need. I live in the northeast and it gets cold. The tent that I now have is the Staika, it's a four season tent and weighs less than 8 pounds it can stand blizzards to major winds and rain storms, and can handle the hottest weather too. Picking out a tent is a process. Redverz's solo is a tent that I almost went with until I looked into Hilleberg. I hope this helps. KZbin videos also helped a lot in my decision process. So let me know how you plan on using your/tent, in what climate, motorcycle or car camping weight restriction and budget

@@carmas54 Thank you for your thoughtful response. My main use will be summer camping trips on my motorcycle. I will be traveling every day going to a new site every night. I will be traveling solo most of the time. I live in the Southwest near the mountains. A 4 season tent may be the smart move. During the middle of the summer you can get temp's down in the 30's.

The Jacobite I problem you were probably looking at how the canon 300 mm preforms ... strangely enough I was just looking at images I made with that lens, and I can tell you they are really really good, as far as the video quality that was a long time ago, you should consider renting the lens if your interested it will not disappoint... best of luck

Matthew Madz no sorry I sold it a long time ago I’m shooting fuji now

Steven Teener hahaha yes, I wear my Casio watch now that I have the X-T3 :-) it doesn’t require a battery grip to get the maximum features

Jim Colbert in hind sight I probably would have been ok using the glue bracket and not had cut the plastic having said that the sena Nolan combo is still going strong all these years

Road Glide all I can tell you that even in the hottest of temps wearing thick wool or alpaca socks your feet stay comfortable... hot but comfortable

@@carmas54 Thank you. Boots look fantastic. Nice job. Ride safe and ride often. What bike are you riding these days?

@@roadglide I have had a R1200GSA since 2015, and I just got a klinger trailer (rampless trailer)... I gave wore those boots in hottest temps, they are so comfortable to wear all day long

@@carmas54 Thank you! Love these boots!

MC RC Adventures my pleasure... I still have and use this helmet for me everyday use, it has served me well

Geoff Bowen Geoff Bowen I believe they’re 3/4 they have to match the width of the straps
