GearTalk Klim Carlsbad Jacket Yes, we know. Klim is expensive and this jacket is one of their high end ones to boot. Before we get started, Klim is noted for safety and that is our #1 priority and concern. Feel free to read all stats, construction, etc about this jacket on the Klim website.
GearTalk Olicamp Stove When I first saw the Olicamp Electron Stove, I really like the compact size, the flame adjuster, and the built in ignitor. I have taken this stove on 3 camping trips. It comes with a plastic case but it makes the stove a bit bulkier and I like to store
GearTalk Forma Adventure Boots When I first got my adventure bike, I already had "some" riding gear. I have an ATV and would take it off road hence I had a lot of basic gear (helmet, boots, pads, gloves, etc) but most of this gear was motocross oriented. I realized that for
GearTalk Handlebar Guards As a whole, the Tiger has plenty of protection but one area that both of us were concerned with was the handlebars. Yes, we know that laying the bike down is inevitable and we want to try to lessen any damage to not only the handlebars but also the clutch/
GearTalk Blacktail 2 Hotel Tent Just purchased a new Blacktail 2 Hotel tent by Big Agnes (purchased it from the Moto Camp Nerd store). I had the Tiger Ultralight but found that it just did not have enough room and I was not happy with the overall design. It may be since I am tall
GearTalk Givi Luggage Racks for the Tiger 900 In our luggage write up, we mentioned that you need to be very careful when purchasing the racks. Ask a lot of questions as it is very easy to order the incorrect pieces ESPECIALLY when incorporating a top box. There are so many different plates and the part numbers are
GearTalk Rok Straps If you ride a bike, you will need straps. I have tried many different kinds but you can see the engineering that went into these straps. I cannot say enough how much I love these straps. First, the end loops allow you to strap to virtually anything on the bike.
GearTalk Rain Fly by NoCry So why write about a tarp? I come from a backpacking background and one of the most useful items I carried was a tarp. Why? Bad weather. I cannot tell you how many trips I backpacked where the weather turned foul. A simple tarp made a miserable trip quite bearable.
GearTalk TomTom GPS - Rider 550 If you are going to ride a motorcycle, you will need a GPS. Yes, you can use your phone but mounting it to the bike may prove costly since the constant vibration may end up destroying it (or se we have read). In any case, we opted for a GPS
GearTalk New Bikes! Yup! Last week both us pulled the trigger and decided to bump up our game and got brand new 2022 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pros. What a sweet ride. We both drove up on a Tuesday after lunch and at 6pm, drove home on two brand new bikes. So why
GearTalk Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core Deluxe This has got to be the most comfortable packable sleeping pad I have slept on. I was a bit worried that I would be uncomfortable laying on my side or my back. Nope. No issues at all. The pad itself is a bit heavy but worth it. In the past,
GearTalk Big Agnes Diamond Park 15 Both of us have this sleeping bag. Now 15 degrees may seem a bit overkill but that is what we wanted...just in case. So why this bag? The main reason was the integration of the sleeping pad into the bag itself. If you have ever been tent camping AND
GearTalk Givi Luggage Cases This is always controversial among cyclists...hard or soft luggage. We decided to go with hard sided. Why? We looked at how we used our bikes and having a case that we can lock up with our helmets, jackets, or whatever was important. Yes, we understand that if you fall
GearTalk PROBAR Meal List of the PROBAR meals that we have personally tried (and rated)! Well, the reviews below are from Scot unless indicated that Kirk reviewed it. All these bars are great.

GearTalk Backpackers Pantry Meals List of the Backpackers Pantry meals that we have personally tried (and rated)! Summit Breakfast Scramble I (scot) ate this one for breakfast and overall, the taste was very good and it does have some kick (not hot sauce needed). I will say up-front that I am not a fan
