    Seen it elsewhere, think it is legit.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    People tour the world on push bikes ... an XV250 is a BIG step up from that.

    35 years ago I used to prepare with for a long bike ride with tools, sleeping bag, tent, clothes, spare parts up to and including chain links and brake fluid, and the Haynes manual or equivalent.

    These days I prepare for a long bike ride with clothes, GPS, credit card, cell phone, solar charger, and the dealer network on speed dial.

    Still the same amount of fun!

    Spear jocks, I imagine they stab you in the ass while you are riding. You are a harder man than me.
    Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.

    Spare underwear, spare overwear, cash for gas and parts, and a credit card for hotels. The world is out there waiting for us.
