Agree with both recommendations - the Hat Creek road is a beauty. The other road mentioned from Ashcroft to Spences Bridge shows on my map as the "Drinkwater Road" just FYI. Welcome back!

Ladies and gents - here is a long write up about my first Loose Screw experience on the B route which will be posted on a YT video tomorrow once I get my “hardware” pics from the surgeon to complete the story. I am already looking forward to the B route in 2024! Loose Screw Dual Sport 2023 B...

Agree completely with IAGBC's offering. Modern Motorcycles has some great sales. Please also consider telling them you wish to be fully kitted out - and they will offer you discounts if you are doing helmet / armour / boots as a combo....but only for what is in stock. Honda Centre has great...

Agree in full. I pulled FB off my phone after reading a NYT article about how their algorithms were adding things to my feed that made me happy (dual sports and puppy dogs) and angry (pretty much everything else) to maximize engagement. I now have it on my PC only which requires me to log in...

I find the quality of content here superior while the quantity on FB is far more vast. There are certainly some gems to be mined off FB - it's often too much work wading through the noise.

I've had some big days and overnight trips on my XT250 with a few hours on the highways in between dirt but nothing of the magnitude you are considering. I am also a fan (like so many) of Itchy boots and what she has been able to accomplish on the CRF300 Rally - likely my next small dual sport...

Agree, trying to figure this one out. Nehatlatch starts at the intersection with Chaumox road North of Bend. The old Forest Service cabin at Hannah lake is 15km from that intersection but this appears to be down river from there around near Fir Flats or Apocynum Campground. Photo appears to...

Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing and hope they keep coming! Not sure if you're posting the ride report after your return, but if you happen to still be out there, I'd highly recommend making a detour over to Amargosa Dune (aka Big Dune) near Beatty Nevada - dump the luggage and have a...

This has been on the bucket list for quite a while. After Lillooet - I'm guessing the next fuel stop is Alexis Creek? Any other locations out there for fuel? Understand that at least one other option burned down a few years ago. Also, how is the Chilco Lake Rec site - did you camp there?

Hey there - sorry for the delay - been out of town for a while. I didn't track the ride, but took the Lorochelle FSR off of Bridge River Road and just kept climbing at every option till it got too rough / rocky for this solo old goat. The whole area has so much to explore - you'll have fun no...

Was based out of Lillooet last week. Intended to go for China Head from the Fraser River side since riding solo and a more "gentle" approach after failing to get up Poison Mtn from Mud Lakes last year (again solo, getting older, and modest skills so far less of a risk taker than I used to be!)...

There is the Northair Gold Mine - attached a map from Gaia. A local quad touring company takes people up there so have done some improvements though it's Crown Land so no ownership issues. I see they've made a lot of quad tracks but have never followed them due to lack of time - might be worth...

I'm a huge Gaia GPS fan for Android. Yeah, doesn't give you the heads up display that a real GPS device might, but I purchased the www.graveltravel.ca GPX files for the TCAT, uploaded them to Gaia, played around on my PC and it all syncs wonderfully to my phone. It does require stopping to...

I love the design, the look, the specs, and how they integrated the fuel down low for both weight and protection - sooo cool! But have heard so many complaints about reliability. Sorry to hear of your troubles - nobody deserves that on a new bike of any brand.

Hi hear ya! I'm 55 yo and been riding with a buddy since we were 16, I took to dual sport only in 2016 when the AT came out and still can't get him off his Gold Wing! I now use the AT for two track non technical off pavement after 2 years of trying to emulate Lyndon Poskitt....two severely...

Excellent write up Russ. After being frustrated with my InReach SE, and not needing the other features like tracking, I switched to the Zoleo last season. I cannot explain why some InReach messages were never received by my contacts but many attempts to communicate failed over 5 years of use -...

Thanks for this. I was looking at some professional Z-pull kits used by river rafters but all too bulky & heavy. I've been thinking about setting something up as well for the reasons shown in the attached. This photo is after 193km on the KVR near the end of my day. My Africa Twin hit a...

Wow - looks first class. I thought about this for my ZR2 so I could haul my small camping trailer too - but that much weight on my "smaller" truck would probably effect the handling too much, so likely adding the rail to a modified longer drawbar.....or just build out a cargo trailer....I need...

Is Howard a dualsport member? curious the seat he has on his KTM? Nice photos and thanks for posting the trip report.

I did Indian Arm earlier this season and road was in good condition. Just looked at Gaia which is "suggesting" bridge out on road to Norton Lake? Anyone done this recently? I understand the BRMB layer is probably not updated, but thought I'd ask.
