Just something I noticed. When Rich loaded that bike the wheel chock move when the wheel dropped in. That should be solid mounted. Mounted with 4 bolts. I have the same chock. I would hate to see that break loose. Would not be pretty. Be sure and check out the Bent Rim just out of Leaky. Frio canyon Motorcycle Stop. I love that area of Texas. Highway 16 from Medina to Kerrville and Fredericksburg is a beautiful and technical ride. Welcome to Texas. Proudtexson

[@dkccurf158]

Really enjoying your conversion. You were wearing me out packing and unpacking and making miles LOL with Ruby. Base Camp provides you the "needs" and "comforts" you deserve and you still "RIDE". One of the techniques I used when I unloaded my motorcycle down a ramp was start the motor, put it in 1st gear, back up using both feet on the flatbed and as you roll down the ramp. Find the friction point on your clutch, roll back, both feet on the ramp, engage the clutch as a brake. As you know, once the rear tire is on the ground and the front tire is on the ramp, your legs are not long enough. So as soon as your rear tire touches the ground, stop, secure your balance and then push backwards and roll until both tires are on the ground. Then you can use the clutch to stop. This allows you keep both feet firmly on the platform to secure your balance. You're doing a good job of finding an unload point that has your rear pu tires lower than your front tires thus less slope to your ramp. Rich and Chris, just keep on keeping on. Love 'n it. Darrell

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes we did do this a few times But these GS's have a Hill Assist and that engages and disengages it and re engaging it is a bit of a pain. or i haven't learned a quick way yet.

Ahhh yes, Buc-eees. A great stop if one doesn't mind about 50,000 calories mid day. I recommend their brisket sandwich. First saw one east of Dallas, most recently stopped at one about an hour north of Atlanta. As others have noted, both of you seem more relaxed in your new "digs" and traveling mode. Be careful on those ramps. Two types of motorcyclists who've loaded bikes on ramps... those who have dumped them and those.... well, you know.

I love the new setup. I remember when you two were purchasing both the truck and camper but Rich I missed the GS 1250 purchase. Great motorcycle especially for the off and road riding you two were doing before. I got a chance to ride a GS 1250 a few years back in Arizona near the Mexican border on a Veterans retreat. Great bikes. Anyways the wife and I have 5 more months till our trip from Santa Ynez, Ca to Ottawa, Canada. I want to thank you two for letting me pick your brain on what works and what doesn’t as far as pulling a cargo trailer with motorcycle via emails I’ve been sending you. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your KZbin Vlog is the best by far. A little short this time but I still loved it all. Oh that stripe bass looked amazing. Ok I could go on for days. Take Care, David & Lisa Cordero U.S. Navy (Ret) “Semper Fortis”

[@mikedanaher2409]

Definitely agreed with the other comments on here. You guys are definitely more at home with your camping rig setup. It’s definitely easier to set up a camper than a tent or even your tent trailer. Dealing with grey water and black water is the most difficult part to it but, once parked setup can be done in 5-10 minutes. Looking at your setup, I would have done some things differently but, it’s similar in many ways.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks. We are planning a Live to answer why we did it this way. There is some things i would change but over all very happy.

[@richardvarnold6245]

Really enjoying your videos, don't blame you for moving up to a larger camper, comfort is key! Went to Wyoming last year on my Yamaha 650 V-star although a comfortable motorcycle for its size it doesn't have enough motor for the interstate. Would like to get a trailer to pull it with my truck then sight see with the motorcycle or better yet a motorhome. Again, great videos really like Texas one of my favorite southern states!

Your ramp is like a mini version of the PSP (perforated steel planking) we used to make taxiways and ramps to park planes in Southeast Asia. The jagged side went on the bottom, and that stuff was slicker than snot on a doorknob when it got wet.

What you don't know about Buc-ees is that the super sized stores that have 100 dispensers are contracted as military fueling centers and are widely spaced between the dispensers to get military trucks through them. Many large C-stores are going to 30 foot spacing column to column and larger. I challenge you to find a pint of ice cream at Buc-ees.
