I'm about to spend about $225 at Rocky mountain and I will definitely use your link tomorrow.

[@OAK_MTN]

Buy once, cry once. That's what I did, I just purchased a pair of Sidi X-3 Enduro boots. I'm sold, 2-3 rides and a slight adjustment of the rear brake and I'm set. They're broken in and super confortable, no doubt they will last forever too.

[@brianq103]

I got the Sidi's and immediately replaced the sole with the enduro version. So much better for dual sport/woods riding, IMHO. Fantastic boots!

[@0HARE]

Wow, so much great gear recommendations! I’m a get some! Loved the riding snippet at the end. Happy Trails

[@danielpittman889]

I'm so glad you made a point of saying damper, not dampener. Thumbs up and subscribed, just for that.

[@davidc1961utube]

Those Sidi boots have a ton of great features, but they are made for really narrow feet. If they made a line of wide boots I would be first in line. Personally I prefer a tail bag like the Rigg Gear to a set of saddle bags, for volume and ease of access. I totally agree about the backpack choice, especially in the heat, or when riding technical double or single track. Thanks for the great video!

[@autoltu1113]

Not sure if you're aware of that but not all of Sidi boots are narrow. E.g. Sidi adventure 2 were too narrow for my feet but Sidi x-3 were spot on. Also, SRS versions (replaceable soles) seem to be narrower than the regular ones

[@davidc1961utube]

@@autoltu1113 But in this price range, I expect replaceable soles. I just keep looking...

[@brianq103]

@David Clark I'm using the Rigg Gear tail bag as well. I was apprehensive because of it not being "water proof" but it hasn't been an issue.

[@fooblahblah]

Thank you for saying "damping". Drives me nuts in videos :)

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

Biggest pet peave.

[@someguy5035]

CRF 300L Rally comes stock with LEDs. They put out some good light. I live in Columbia SC and it is brutally hot in the summer. I have been looking for a shirt with built in armor forever now. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@DezertBeagle]

Hi, I'm curious how you wash the bike after a ride, specifically with the traverse setup? I recently put the traverse bags on my DRZ, but I'm not sure if I should leave them on when I wash the bike after a ride. How do you wash yours after a ride? Thank you for the great content :)

[@brrraaaapp8502]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Tons of good info. Love your style of presentation and filming.

[@johnjaques342]

Thanks Ian for a great video. Really enjoying the varied content of your channel!

[@Mat-xc4gb]

Thanks! I almost spit my coffee out from laughing when you said haberdashery.

[@Squatch_Rider66]

Great video, thanks for the rundown of gear that is worthwhile

[@michaelbuchanan7345]

Appreciate the content from down in Oz My goal is to get a dual sport dirt bike currently ride an older v strom 650 and planning the next purchase of gear and bike thanks again Ian

[@xpllmmff]

Thanks for all these gears Ian, at least you successfully persuaded me into getting the USB/volt meter combination item even though I only ride a street bike. As for the other items, I think they are too hardcore dualsports and I would go back to review them by the time I indeed step into the DS riding.

[@alphawolf2993]

the tusk traverse changed my life lol

[@andrecontois8510]

I know its really personal preference but I'd like to hear your thoughts on tires for your type of dual sport riding on a bike like this.

[@jonathanrosenesq202]

Sir , concur with your gear opinions, except you are not spoiled. Testing and reporting gear is a full time production. It is a complement to your skill set, that you make it look fun and easy. Maybe share some bloopers and some out takes to show your fans the hard work involved! Please support on Patreon.

[@Themotograndpa]

Hi Ian another great vid did try and text you about my tiger rally pro after your tiger 1200 vid not sure you got it ??? Regards John in the uk

[@dennisossianderrmplmtcst2053]

Thanks Ian, as always, great video and content. Gratefully, Dennis

[@advredbikes]

Love the content Ian, Great recommendations for gear, Thank you.

[@kawabungah20]

Lots of good information and ideas. I have been buying my motorcycle stuff from Rocky Mountain ADV using your link. They are efficient, with reasonable prices, good selection, quick and they always get the order right. I have been looking for new boots and will check out SIDI Crossfire. The toe will have to be thin enough to fit under my KLR shift lever. Thank you! Safe riding!

[@OrbPonderer]

Are you able to adjust the shift lever? I was able to on my DRZ

[@kawabungah20]

@@OrbPonderer Thank you for the suggestion. Apparently, based on the KLR Forum, rotating the stock lever upwards on the shift spline, by even one tooth, causes the lever to interfere with the engine case and prevent smooth shifting. A longer lever may work. However, the longer lever would extend beyond the clearance cutaway that has been designed into the engine case). However, the risk of a longer lever is - a crash could press the longer lever into the engine case. I've purchased pivot pegs and that may allow simply pivoting the peg to a lower angle that would allow my thicker boot to easily get under the lever. The pivot may take some getting used to. I think the real reason for pivot pegs is to facilitate hill climbing. Anyway, that may be a neat solution.

[@OrbPonderer]

@@kawabungah20 Dang, bummer it can’t be adjusted a spline or two. I hope you figure out what works for you. I wear 12/13 boots so i understand the struggle.

[@jwaller1327]

I feel stuck by my body build. I have freakishly huge 19" calves which look like every day is leg day and I don't even try. I went shopping for MX boots and nothing available at any local shop would fit, Sidi, Alpine Stars, O'Neal, nothing. Someone suggested Gaerne and I ordered some Gaerne Fastback boots. They barely fit, adjusted all the way out to the maximum size at the calf. I can't fit any sort of shin guards under them, so I'm also limited by the knee protection I can use. Am I truly stuck, or do you know of any alternatives that could offer me better protection?

[@davebar2017]

Your crazy riding street with full knobby tires ... you'll find out I guess

[@Xerdoz]

Do you think you'll have a chance to test Ducati's Desert X at some point?

[@mfranquemont1884]

When is 890 rally ride review? Inquiring minds want to know!

[@chrisvito007]

Great Video 👍🏻

[@railduke68]

Are you running street legal tires?

[@americandude3825]

I want your assessment of a super tenere. 😁 please

[@tomg6284]

What happened to getting the Tuareg 660?

[@krakosekrumpa]

You really bump up the video quality on this one! Regarding the review, it's awesome as always!

[@happyswissjoe]

It's the lighting! Full sun!

[@mionggg]

What about abrasion resistance?

[@dionoliveira4058]

Excellent advice thanks again Ian, and thanks for admitting you're spoilt lol

[@sidvicious5848]

maybe wearing a dirt bike helmet on the highway isn't the way to go, imho- not as safe and not aerodynamic enough

[@davidrodrigueztoro6512]

Great video, keep it up!

[@chiptaxfree]

Nice job 👌👍

[@jcee2259]

Because I ride dual sport to discover, explore, and sleep in caves not man-made my gear and clothing has stitched reflective tape. Commonly 2 inch wide, seen in pairs below knees, elbows, arm sockets, and below chest center. I also own a Singer Model 4423 to make that happen using strong upholstery thread. Its ideal over dark solid color of black, blue, spruce, and navy. My attire tends to be entirely one such general color choice. Mostly black and navy to match my armored/buckled enduro boots. Zipper pulls all have a foreign coin sewn on for the shiny value. Canadian and United Arab Emigrates mostly.

[@jcee2259]

FREE FOREIGN COINS: Banks and Credit Union being defrauded by customers commonly keep it in a container until used as evidence. And then entered into their metal waste bin for recycling. Mangers may choose the free day amount and surrender it on a first come- first served. My other free coin collection involves metal detection gear and something to dig down no more than 24 inches. Gold coins are not added to my attire and go into a safety deposit box. The boot laces I'm wearing today have a 5-KR from Sweden and a Mexico 5-Peso. Both drilled with 3/8" hardened steel bit. Don't save precious metal dust from such coin work.

[@12masterr]

Awesome!

[@happyswissjoe]

THAT is not a Dual Sport bike. It is an offroad bike. It is just road-legal. Barely. Reminds me when I was a teenager.

[@mikeisland7382]

They're sure awesome for once you tire of lifting the old school dual sports though.

[@luizz_k]

Body armours are so hideous. Like. Just stop falling over

[@westofthesoutheast1712]

My OCD has me cringing every time you say, "Let's talk about....". Just start talking about it!! That's why we're here. Great content......just busting your balls.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

It’s a standard presentation technique. Sets up the topic that’s about to be covered and helps the audience’s minds transition and start thinking about the specific topic. Very effective, and you don’t subconsciously realize he’s adjusting your mindset. Ian worked as a director for some time, so he would be used to delivering high level presentations and getting audiences to go where they need to on a specific topic, which includes skilled transitions on topics. We reap the benefits in the quality of his videos and how he covers these topics without realizing it perhaps. Suggest try and grin and bear it for your own sake.

[@westofthesoutheast1712]

@@ExpeditionaryRanger as a public speaker, I’ll stick with my original thoughts. 😂😂

[@StansE250]

What about Front disc brake protection ?
