I had the BRP up on the stand idling, to check the oil. Turned my back for a few seconds and it vibrated right off the stand. That was a $100 oil check. What a bonehead.

So, if you don't have a ramp yet, I'm guessing you haven't tried putting that big bike in the RL? I too have a Ridgeline and it's a great vehicle, but I ain't gonna lie, the bed is quite high. I use...

This thread helps me out, too. I'd like to do the whole arch someday. I concede my 200 miles per day estimate is too high - I've not ridden those trails with a full load.

I ended up turning the tracks into overlay maps

Frustrating, ain't it? Why is there even a limit? It should only be limited to how much memory you have. I almost sent my back.
