Күн бұрынThis is what I took along on the IDBDR in 2020 on my light ADV bike. From camping and cooking to tents and tarps, and everything in between. And it all fit on my Honda CRF450L in Mosko Moto's Reckless 80 Revolver system.

@@the_katman2181 - A factory ADV version of the CRF450RL would be good. Large rear rack. Large fuel tank. Engine crash bars. USB ports. Maybe factory heated grips. The $10K price seems a bit much considering it's not exactly a loaded bike. What's there is solid but for $10K I'd expect tubeless spoke wheels, etc. And like all Honda dual sport bikes, the color options: red. Most manufacturers think of ADV bikes as big street bikes with a few extra inches of suspension travel and ground clearance. I'm thinking dual sport with a bit more creature comfort, range and luggage carrying capability.
@tHaH4x0r Жыл бұрын
@@Liberty4Ever Would you want tubeless wheels going off-road all the time though? Dink your rim once and you are screwed out there alone. Sure its inconvenient to change tires, and plugging a leak isn't as easy/fast, but at least with a tubed tire you can throw in a new tube and ride on if you dink the rim. I feel tubeless is great for bikes that only occasionally do off-road, or dont explore very far from the inhabited world, but if you truly go somewhere else alone the safety net of tubed probably outweighs the disadvantages.
@Liberty4Ever Жыл бұрын
@@tHaH4x0r - I'd completely agree with that assessment. It's much easier to repair a tread puncture with tubeless tires. Plug it and reinflate. For sidewall damage, rim damage or a slash in the tread, a tube patch kit or spare tube and possibly some duct tape, cable ties or paracord lashing provide more trail side repair options. A friend told me almost 40 years ago that he didn't believe there were any such thing as tubeless tires, and he was referring to cars. We can take a tip from Marc and pack tubes for our tubeless tires for the best of both worlds. For the typical minor tread puncture, plug it and reinflate. For more severe damage where the plug won't do, yank out the valve stem and insert a tube. I bought my G310GS for my 60th birthday. My days of hard off road riding are behind me. My bike has alloy rims and tubeless tires that nobody would consider for heavy duty off road use. I've used the bike on more serious off road than I anticipated when I thought the Little Shepherd Trail was a dilapidated road through the woods and most of it was comparable to a heavily erosion rutted rock strewn logging trail with some small downed trees. The baby GS did fine but I took it easy... for MY sake. I should have had a dual sport with spoke steel rims for that.

I don’t know if you’ve tried hammocks much, but i find them far more comfortable than a tent and sleeping pad (once you’ve got your ridgeline length dialed in). And, I also know that some people PREFER tents. AND, I know that sometimes you can’t find two trees! But YES! I side sleep in my hammock. So, I’m just sayin’ this out loud; I’m not preaching. I have a nice large hammock with bug net - very comfortable. I have a nice 3.5m tarp - very quick to set up. But, for when there are no trees, I can use two fiberglass flexible tent poles to hold up the tarp like a tent, and an old ‘tent footprint’ with a mosquito net attached to it (making a bathtub floor and bug-proof tent). Yeah. It takes a couple of liters of extra space. No I don’t always carry it (I can actually pitch a hammock on the ground if needs be... but if I have to be on the ground, I prefer a tent-sized area). I don’t live in a cold area, so I haven’t tried this is cold weather. So, for those of you who prefer hammocks, but are likely to find yourself without trees, consider it.

It's a hard decision to make on bike HP. I like a 250, no rad and 6 speed for nibble-ness yet those times you might have to get off US routes/dirt and us an interstate you do not wanna push them that long or for any long period of time. I do ride mostly on Forest lands and keep speed down. I do go very off trail to camp as remotely as possible, stealth if you will. But, Long trips the XR650L has it's place...450's , stuff with rad's just are not suitable. I wouldn't be in but 15 ft and till a scrub oak branch would have poked a hole in the rad...

Rear tires get flat about 10 to 1 more than fronts, a 21" tube is hit or miss on how long it will last in the rear...... Most auto parts store will allow you to drop oil and most will loan you tools and a drain pan to do the work, plus sell you oil...I have the same air pump the coating on the wires dry rotted after several years watch for that it will short out, I replaced mine with a coiled wire like the old time phone cords were it works well...

Could you not use simple CO2 cartridges with a valve adapter on a motorbike? It's commonly used, lightweight and small, emergency inflation for mountain bikes. But we use presta valves. The air volume couldn't be that much more than a 2.5" by 29" bike tire at 25psi. You might need several cartridges but they are tiny. I just thread the adapter on the valve, unscrew to release the gas and bam, tire is filled in seconds. Just an idea seeing how big and heavy that pump looked, and you asked for suggestions so there's mine.
@JohnTYoung 3 жыл бұрын

Those trout laughed at everything I tried and there were some real nice low water wild trout in there . Went back again later and used natural helgramites and that did the trick . Too bad they don't allow motorcycles in there but if I can join the hunting club then I get a key heh heh . Well the stuff I was talking about Ride On it's different than Slime . It apparently doesn't get messy and I think it can be reused from tire to tire but as long as it doesn't make my wheels and bike shudder then I think it couldn't hurt . I need to get up to speed with the in and outs of maintaining my motorcycle and learning offroad basics .

I've ridden from the Arctic to the Sahara on various rides and have needed a firearm as much as a fish needs a bicycle. Nice answer John. Reassuring that not all Americans are gun nuts. For the weight and bulk of a pistol and rounds, I can think of many more things I'd like to carry. In Europe we get black bears, wolves and wild boar. We don't need pistols and if Americans weren't so weirdly gun obsessed, you wouldn't need them in most parts of the US. Grizzly bear country excepted.

Mr. Young, great video as always! I really enjoy all your videos. I wish I had the time to post some of my own. You may want to think about your payload though. I ordered some warp 9 rims help out with the payload on my 450RL. I'm 5'11" 205 lbs and loaded with gear, I am really pushing the payload limits. I researched finding a heavy duty axle, but I have no luck. Have you found any axle upgrades for the 450? Cheers!
@JohnTYoung 2 жыл бұрын
In 16000 miles of hauling 70 lbs of gear and my 180 lbs carcass I have never had a problem with my axle or wheel bearings. I did add a heavier shock spring to hold it all up. So far so good. Thanks for watching!

Two points: the stay warm and dry. This is IMHO the main topic... and during offroad trips, it can be nearly impossible to dry things. 2/ safety : bandages and tapes are necessary but for millions times i will mention again the two mandatory , small and cheap things : israreli bandage and quick clot antiblood ... emergency said it saved one of my kids leg cut by bike sprocket. Then there are things you can find everywhere, and others you think you would easily find, but no, nada😂 like a very small needle, a small magnifier, a sharp cutter blade, alcool or better, betadine. Thorn in a finger can fast become a big problem. Feet too need the be feed by cream, vaseline or any preventing moisture in between fingers, due to all day ride in humid or wet boots. Eyes drop too against dust, sand, some branches hits, etc... kudos on backup with other gloves pair. ;) your video is credible as you just throw on ground things. Real back country rider !!
