Troy, was that a trip you took? Those pics are fantastic. I can't even comprehend how awesome that would be.

Not sure of their backstory, but apparently plenty of money and no jobs. They did a trek across South America last year and now they're trying to cover all of Africa this spring. The adventure is wild as hell and something 99% of the ADV riders can actually DO.....Trace is about in the best position to do something like this...but MOST of us have to live vicariously THRU fella's like this.

I would have chosen the 800 as well (I'm talking potential carrying weight...the GS ADV can carry a lot more fuel and weight...and you'd be tempted to max that out, where on the 800, you don't have that GVWR) Plus the 800 would be kinder to tires (assumption on my part) But that's just my opinion as a logic-minded engineer

I daydream alot about getting a used 800....paniers....minimalist camp supplies...and spend week-ends riding and camping in free range land in the Flint Hills.
I'm jealous....that is a sweet bike. |
