First long trip with the new Husky. 5 days around the Greek mountains, 6 riders, 4 KTM, 1 BMW and 1 Husky Terra. Hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks. We are planning to do a report for this trip as well. But if you are counting on lots of soft/off-road like last year you might be a bit disappointed. The roads we're taking this year are mostly tarmac (or used to be tarmac when Stalin was still around in case of Ukraine) and a lot more "cultural" stops along the way. It is a different kind of trip, but we are still enjoying it very much (now in Krakow, Poland btw).
First big trip on the TR was a relative success! What a ride it was. Portland OR, south through Sierra Nevadas, 139 across Death Valley, Las Vegas, and back again. The Husky ran like shit, as always, but never failed me. I need to do something about the crap fuel map... The Valley was so hot that the finish bubbled on the side of the airbox, the helmet cam mount melted and the cam fell off, the anti-glare strip under the visor pealed, my GPS and phone both overheated and failed. The worst part was the fuel tank venting violently at every fuel stop, I had to be very cautions opening the tank after the first petrol shower. I drank 2 litres of water before getting across the valley and vomited when I stopped in Furnace Creek, heat exhaustion, I guess. But what an amazing place, the roads were great and the views were amazing. I stopped outside of FC and had two coyotes walk up 30 feet from me, too bad both my cameras were ruined. Poor guys looked so miserable, I poured a spare litre of water into a dip in the ground when I left, I hope they got it before it evaporated. It's crazy how the ground can be so dry and yet not absorb water. I think I will stick to the Pacific Northwest for a while, I don't like the heat. I found nowhere. (nvm the video game joke for a friend) (RAM mounted phone, accidental selfie in Nor Cal)
Sorry - forgot to add context! Exploring 80+ miles of trails in the Sam Houston National Forest near Houston, TX.
Meandering through various unpaved roads and trails in the vicinity of Llano, TX west of Austin. Happened onto a lot of nice little bonus features like a (mostly) dry creek bed, rock garden and lots of beautiful scenery.
Just got back from our 3 weeks and almost 6000km tour through eastern Europe, taking in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine and Poland. We had a great time so I wanted to share some of our pics.
It's an amazingly "interesting" part of the World, the magnificent buildings, the history, the people - I particularly enjoyed Slovakia & Prague
Out to the Bridle Track, just north of Bathurst, NSW Australia. All the pre-requisits for a good ride! Land Slide at Monaghan's Bluff - easy to get around on a bike.
Here's a few pix from a 4 day ride I did in the western Sierras with a group of KLR riders. I had a great time and the bike performed perfectly.
