For 2019 we're planning on doing the O.B.C.D.R. ( Oregon Back Country Discovery Route )
https://www.oohva.org/OBCDR/route5.html
I've done a few sections of route 5 already but those were just single day trips. This time we are wanting to complete route 5 from bottom to top.
The second adventure we are considering is doing the Dalton Highway all the way up to Prudhoe Bay Alaska.
At this point, there will be two of us on the O.B.C.D.R. trip. I'll be on my 2012 Tenere and the other rider will be on a 2018 Honda African Twin. He is currently dressing up his bike with tons of equipment. Much of his equipment is the same as what i have.
A third rider might join us for some, if not all, of the ride.
Also, we might have someone who would be willing to be a "Chase Vehicle" that would carry extra food, parts & equipment. We would plan each day with a starting and finishing point. The chase vehicle would meet us at each cross section where the off road meets the paved roads.
Items that I have "On" my bike thus far:
* Garmin 595 GPS
* Altrider Skid Plate
* Altrider Crash Bars
* PIAA Driving Lights
* Headlight Guard ( stainless steel mesh )
* Yamaha Side & Top Cases
* Heated Grips
* Extra Duffle Bad (Doubles as my backrest)
* Extra Power Outlet (USB) for Phone or Hand Held GPS
* Spark Arrested Two Brothers Exhaust
* Custom Seat ( By Mr. Ed's Moto https://www.mredsmoto.com )
* GoPro Mount
I'm have 90/10 (street / dirt) dual sport tires now but I will put on 10/90's on before leaving.
My personal protection equipment is:
* Helmet ( Bell Moto 9 ) With Sena SMH-10 Bluetooth
* Gloves (Wet Weather & Dry)
* Olympia Jacket with removable liner
* First Gear Pants with removable liner
* Full Rain Gear ( top & bottom )
* Safety Glasses ( with 2.0 readers )
* SIDI X-3 Boots
As a long time archery hunter I have TONS of camping equipment. Some for roadside camping, some for wilderness camping.
Any input I can get from the experts here would be very appreciated.
Besides, I know I haven't thought of everything.
