cheesebot posted:blugu64, maybe your TA is a POS but mine rocks and I'm not giving it up for anything. I really like your saddlebag setup--where did you get those? I'm looking for something to throw on my Bonneville for a trip in July. Since I'll be going from the San Francisco area up to western Washington, I guess I should also get one of those waterproof duffels. I've been watching Adventure Prone (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAdventureProne) lately; have any of you tried sleeping in the open like they do? I don't think it would be an option if I am camping in southern Oregon on this trip, but I'm thinking of future trips in drier climes.

Belflek posted:Has anyone tried out http://www.dualsportmaps.com/? Looks cool but unless I'm doing it wrong, there's only one route in the whole system. I'd upload maps myself (not on a dualsport, but it's not like I couldn't put in nice routes and locations). Edit: derp, I didn't notice they were only showing a *featured* map, not all of them. I found the rest. Double edit: haha $20 for the Android app, get hosed I've never been a huge fan of the modern BMWs (generally all I see), but this is a drat amazing bike. What year is it?

I just went on a ride from San Francisco, CA to Vancouver, WA. 2 days each way, 2 days to hang with a friend in Vancouver. Here's what I took: Black backpack is clothes, all the gear goes in the green pack, and then there's the tent and the sleeping bag.  Packed  The tent is not very big, in fact I had a tough time fitting myself + my stuff in there, or getting my pants on in the morning:  I had a great time. Camped at Humbug Mountain State Park on the way up and Harris Beach State Park on the way back. It was pretty chilly at night and especially when riding early in the morning (I was on the road by 7:30 each day, breaking camp as soon as there was enough light to see).

BotchedLobotomy posted:California goons, I am thinking about riding up Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco over a weekend this summer, sleeping once on the way somewhere, spending some time up there and then riding back, though might superslab it home to speed things up. If you're doing 2 days each way, you should have plenty of time to check out cool stuff along the way. I don't know much south of Monterey, but if you want, check out Santa Cruz a bit. The college campus is really quite beautiful, built on a hill among wonderful trees with pedestrian bridges joining the buildings. Downtown is cool too. gently caress I-5, at the very least take 101 home if you don't want to re-trace PCH. I did PCH to Portland and back from SF, found it enjoyable in both directions.

Can anyone recommend a decent place to camp along the Pacific Coast Highway north of LA? I'm looking at leaving the San Francisco area on Friday morning and heading down Hwy 1 until I'm near LA. The next day, check out the schools at UC Irvine and Riverside (possible grad schools for girlfriend) and just see LA in general, then head back Sunday. Any recommendations? Edit: Malibu Creek State Park looked like a good option, but goddamn $45/night for a campsite, really?

nsaP posted:http://freecampsites.net/ The best result there is "head out into the desert, way out into BLM land, and find this place which is basically a cleared patch of dirt". (Selby campground) And it's pretty far inland. And you could camp anywhere on BLM land anyway, so the only advantage is the terrifying toilet and the ease with which your fellow campers could rob you, 20 miles from anything. Edit: just going to the website for the Angeles National Forest is more productive, lots of sites at about $5/day Pham Nuwen fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Nov 21, 2013 |

SaNChEzZ posted:I actually rode up there with botchedlobotomy one day and asked about it, they said that's per vehicle but for motorcycles, it's basically as many as you can fit in a campsite for $45, split it 3 ways, boom. $15 a pop. I'll keep that in mind if I go on a group trip down that way, thanks.

nsaP posted:Also I tried this method and failed, mine kept going out. I must have messed it up. Mine kept going out, and I almost lit my kitchen on fire because I was experimenting with it late at night and managed to tip it over. It was sort of working at one point, though, so I may try again.

ShaneB posted:Honestly freezer bag meal/freeze dried meal + jetboil is compact and light enough to make the ease of use worth it. But that's just IMO. it was a neat thing to play with, though.
