These are pretty popular and robust soft bags, with a basic metal bracket to keep them from rubbing on your exhaust. My Dad used these on our ride down the Continental Divide Trail. Here he is in the Montana section:


Riseful
RollPro (GoPro camera and accessories organizer)
Another good donation from a new company by fellow ADV inmate michael.brat, from his company Riseful. He is donating one RollPro, a well thought out organizer for all of you GoPro aficionados.

paging andy.....

Sorry, I'm currently in the hospital in San Clemente. I had a small bowel blockage knock me down after I returned from my successful iron butt ride, 50CC. I've been in since last Friday and was just put on clear liquids this afternoon. I also was severely dehydrated. They've been pumping in full bags of IV solution at 150cc/hr since I arrived. It was definitely something I ate on Wednesday, the day after I made it home... But being dehydrated has not helped.

It could have been much worse...

Hey Joel,
No sign of my payment yet? I personally dropped it in a mail box on the 4th. I mailed it from Key West and it was a mo for $212 for me and Berolina #104 and #105. If you haven't received it by tomorrow I will paypal you and I'll see what I can do about a lost mo. Maybe I can get my money back from the post office.

Don

[WarrenDLee]

Just sent payment via paypal. Looking forward to heading out to Death Valley!!!!

[M1Jeep]

Ahhhh..Key West! I love Key West!

[Ladybug0048]

There's some nice shopping that can be done in the raffle donation line up.

Ha! I think a dunking is actually recommended in the XR manual. They should be fully submerged (preferably while running) every 3 years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The 95 south through NV to the 6 into Bishop will get you around the highest passes on 395, might add mileage though.

Wow, I totally forgot about the high parts of 395 as a potential issue. We froze our asses off through there coming back from DV in early March a couple of years ago.



Rain for 3 days + Freezing Temps = Frozen Ignition



"I've got heated gear" (sticks hotel hairdryer down pants)



And passes in Oregon, too... damn.

I'll have to call it as it happens, depending on weather. Thanks fo the heads up!
