    Average fuel consumption

    Just finished 5000km trip. Averaged 5L/100km. About 8-10 km/hr over posted speed limit most of the time. Way over the other times. Fully loaded with camping gear I'd rather be riding!

    What big trip's planned?

    So I got on the ferry but plans have changed and I canceled my reservation. My neighbour bought a 2014 ES so he and I are going to tour southern BC if the fires have not burned it all up. Looks like areas that I wanted to go may be off limits or rather black but it's a big province so will see...

    What big trip's planned?

    Wicked, I'm on the wait list for the Aug 31 sailing! Did not think that space would be an issue. Apparently the wait list started at the end of May. Will keep my fingers crossed.

    What big trip's planned?

    Thanks for the info. I submitted a reservation request today for Aug 31. Hope that is enough time in advance to secure a spot. I'll have to look into the Port Alberni, Lake Cowichan route. Was not aware that you could get through from Port Refrew to either. I'd rather be riding!

    What big trip's planned?

    At the end of August beginning of Sept I have 18 days off. I'll be leaving Fort McMurray, A.B. and heading for Victoria B.C. via Bella Coola B.C. solo. I have always wanted to do this trip. I will be camping and taking pictures along the way. Once I hit the Island I'm not really sure of my route...

    Average fuel consumption

    On my 14 with 3000km on it today I have averaged 5.5l/100km or 42.5 U.S. mpg. I imagine that will get better?

    Anyone else run into Altrider rack/Monokey install problem?

    Well I have mine mounted now and it seems to be a good fit with the E45. Have not taken it for a ride yet to see if it makes any noise.

    She is in the garage!

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! It's cold compared to where some of you are for sure but spring is on the way. The river broke in town two days ago. That's always a good sign.

    She is in the garage!

    I guess I should say out of the garage. Managed to put put 265km on her in the last couple days and I must say that I am very impressed! Lots of power, comfortable and lots of room for my ever growing kid on the back. It's looking like I may get close to 350km on the first tank. Pretty good in...

    Considering Givi side cases. need feedback from those that have them.

    I have the same set up as " la-motor". I don't have them on my bike yet. Actually I don't have my bike yet. Just getting a new rack and am going to continue using them. I used these for 39000 km on my Vstrom and have really grown to appreciate them. They are tough, water tight and hold lots of...
