Wearing an Overall

[Lord Popgun]

Ahh yes, beautiful rack. I had forgotten what it looked like.

Thanks guys.

This thread is becoming completely off topic, but I can also vouch for the Fehling rack, it looks beautiful on the bike, and my wife really likes the grab handle. Very easy install indeed. I also discovered it thanks to Django.



Django, congrats on the purchase of the Roadcrafter! Now that you swapped your bike, are you doing a full style makeover also?

Nah. As long as it's black, style is ok.

I understand the roadcrafter is an outstanding piece of gear, wonderfully engineered and crafted but I just can't wrap my head around wearing coveralls when it's over 75 degrees. Just a mental thing for me. Just like I can't wrap my head around a 650 twin being big enough to transverse the country on. They tell me they will do it just fine, it just doesn't seem feasible to me.

Can't wrap my head around the price. The entire set up, boots to helmet, should come in under $1k. Most of that goes for helmet, boots and gloves. Less than $200 for a jacket and under $100 for pants is where my budget is.

Read a thread on an Aussie forum this week about a bloke who did 14,000 + kms around the middle and east of Australia on a 250 dirt bike.

[the Ferret]

aren't you supposed to be riding someplace right now?

[Elipten_imp]

There was a couple years ago I recall that rode around the world on a 250cc if memory serves me.

Yeah, but aren't I supposed to check the forum while I have coffee?

Edit: Now it's petrol and a sandwich.

[the Ferret]

Wow, I see you take your job seriously.

JUst because someting CAN be done, doesn't mean it's a great idea to do it lol. My wife and I use to tour on an RD 350. WOuld not even attempt that solo now lol.
