A "whimsical collection"? That is so much better. It is a whimsical collection of "moto" movies some of which have nothing to do with motorcycles. I should start making whimsical collections of everything.

It’s in the back.

Useless?!? Now you’re starting to sound like our wives… Honestly, we never really considered the inside of a jacket to be something to talk about or view. What is it that you are looking interested in finding out about the inside of a jacket?

@@BeGoneForGood MESH LINING QUALITY OF MATERIAL but no you and billy peace pipe jumping around good luck and goodbye

There are “t-shirt” styled padding providers but I don’t know that they are the sort of thing I’d want to use riding the street. This one absolutely would be noticeable walking around off the bike. It is a lot of padding and large plastic pieces. You look a little like The Hulk in it minus the green.

Oh man…that’s going to be the tough part. I don’t know if you’ll be able to find this color as o think it’s been out of production for a bunch of years now. If I could make one suggestion, give scorpion a call or send them an email because their customer service is outstanding. If they can find one for you, they will but I don’t know if I’d get my hopes too high unless you want to try the used helmet market…yikes. Good luck.

Barry, I’ve been called a lot of things, especially since starting this channel but “woke” has never been one of them. Hahaha. I totally agree though, I had seen a ton of lists that had mentioned ACTUAL moto-movies and I didn’t want to do another one like that. My goal was to tell about all the movies that made me want to ride so sometimes it was just about fun or adventure or doing the thing that really motivates you. I’ll grant you that les to some pretty squishy inclusions when it comes to onscreen motorcycles but it was in an effort to create a video with a different edge.

So the way this is built the tent itself IS the rain fly while the sleeping area is suspended inside. Unlike a traditional tent, like your thinking where the structure domes from the sleeping compartment and then a fly is draped over that, this does the opposite. The shell IS the structure. This means you cannot pitch this tent without the fly but you could, I guess pitch the fly without the inner mesh sleeping compartment.

Yeh, it is pretty unnecessary but I’ll tell you, having a garage that big is really nice for a lot of other things. Especially when you are staying for multiple days or run into really nasty weather. As far as bike worthy, that seems kinda silly but still useful is some extreme cases.

Yeh, if height is a concern…this may not be the way to go.

Absolutely. I hope this helps.

There is something sort of majestic and mesmerizing about it though isn’t there?

That sounds awesome. Neck sized calves? You will be just fine lifting the bike as you cruise through Lockhart Basin. I’d make sure to bring plenty of water though because no amount of muscle beats dehydration. Best of luck.

What is too much waffle? Extra unneeded stuff?

I get what you’re saying but I’ll tell you that when I released this video there were NO videos of riding around in 360 degree capture. I have videos on the channel about my bike setup and what I carry but this was the very first where you could look all around while I was riding to view any and every angle you wanted. I don’t know how you watched the video the first time but I’d suggest a rewatch on your phone so you can move around and see different stuff and for a real treat, check it out in a VR headset. It’s unreal.

Oh man, you must be really good. I appreciate the feedback though I’m likely stuck with this machine as it has gone everywhere with me and I’m just that sentimental.

No problem. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Kevin. That is some pretty cool modifications. I have been super lucky to never have dealt with a flat out on the road but I can imagine that being the sort of thing that would bring about some changes. I don’t even like doing it in my garage let alone hot on the trail. I appreciate the feedback.

This should work for you and you’ll have extras just in case. amzn.to/4danYkL

Yeh, I would have loved that in so many different circumstances and the “parking brake” is useless in my opinion.

That is probably true and seemed like a major distraction to just having a good trip.

I bet. Great pack for sure.

That seems to be very true. It’s almost as though every bike is going to be different for every rider and this would serve simply as some things to consider when evaluating a big bike. There is no getting around some of the limitations we have physically and mentally when it comes to our choice of ride. It’s best to recognize where your lane is when choosing the path we want to take.

Thankfully, I haven’t had another issue since that first and only severing of the wires.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am always down for stuff that makes the job easier. ;-)

Garmin has its own mount that I used for mine. I don’t know about the keyboards but I’d imagine they have those options as a download from the website.

For sure. Amazing bike and I am a firm believer that getting around to riding a little later in life is a major benefit to us. We are, hopefully, a little more mature and better equipped to deal with this new found capability than the young guys. ;-)

Miss you brother. Hope you are doing well. I have totally dropped off the face of the planet apparently.

I guess if you’re asking the question…I care as I am invested in these guys and their story. I was very hopeful for this series and what it could have been. Unfortunately, I think the electric part served as a distraction and didn’t make a better series.

For sure. The best answer is always both but that’s tough for most of us. I hope you made the right choice but ultimately either option will provide plenty of fun.

@@BeGoneForGood hey I bought a Honda Africa twin it’s great for flying down the highway or climbing a mountain here in California or the surrounding states I have 3000 miles on it already

Which one were you looking to buy? The Vuz tent is a little tougher to find these days.

What happened? So far I’ve been pretty happy with the Haynes but to be fair, I do only the basics really.

@BeGoneForGood incorrect torque values and worst of all, wrong timing marks.

Sure did. Crazy right?

@@BeGoneForGood thats just neglecting maintenance

You should see what I do to my body…it’s ridiculous.
