Oh, the ways we retired guys find to spend their time! Yours though is a bit more scenic than what I get on the GoldWing. Keep up the good work. The videos you share are always excellent...thank you!!!

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words. It keeps me busy. Cheers mate. ~Grizzlee

Hah! The crashed Suburban was (is?) still there. Looked fresh with skid marks in August. Seeing familiar landmarks is fun.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

I think it must have been stolen.. The next episode the challenge amps up a bit. Cheers mate. We’re both rich. ~ Grizz

Great video series. First time commenter, but always look forward to your videos. Are you on Instagram?

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Because of the nature of my job I kept a low social media profile. Now that I’m retired, Facebook is a possibility. But, you can read about my on-going adventures on ADVRider www.advrider.com/f/threads/grizzlees-moto-adventures.1589383

Are you going back to the GS after this trip? I also ride a Tenere now, no more GS for me.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Oh yes. My GS Rallye still has a place in my tours. Just not on these more intense BDR type rides. But, I get it. The GS can be a bit much, especially as we get older. I don’t want to wrestle a fully loaded big bike in the dirt any more. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery. So that also comes into play. Cheers ~GrizLee

Loving the content! I know I'm jumping ahead, but you actually did this ride a few months ago, and releasing video as it's edited. My question is, would you take the sidecar on this trip, considering that you didn't do the expert sections? I'm seriously considering doing it on mine, from Mexico to Canada.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Hmmm… let me just say, I wouldn’t take “my” sidecar on this trip . The northern part to Sisters is pretty doable. You may get some patina on your rig. The desert sections are a definite no for me. If you see my teaser you can see sections where the sage closes in and the 2 track is actually 2 parallel single tracks. The tracks are uneven and over grown in the middle with “rock!!”. But, if you don’t mind some deep scratches on your hack and maybe hi centering. The bush actually tore my mosko luggage and ripped a strap off. Fortunately, my wife was able to repair it and Mosko was great help in getting me new replacement buckles. We did some side expert sections and skipped others. The next episode will demonstrate how the trail difficulty ramps up. Good luck your border to border trip. I’d love to see that report. Thanks for riding along ~ Grizz

[@kiplambel4052]

@@RubiKonAdventures thanks for the advice. It has definitely made me more skeptical, but I still haven't ruled it out, even though I probably should! I didn't watch the trailer. Just following the actual trip episodes.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Hopefully the follow-up episodes will help you decide. Cheers.
