I've seen every manner of motorcycle and met riders who have traveled on every imaginable road and trail surface in virtually every corner of the globe. Giant Loop's focus on the more "hard core" end of this spectrum means our bags perform beautifully in less demanding conditions, while also enabling riders to push the limits and boundaries of what can be done on a motorcycle laden with gear. We love the diversity of travelers here! Adventure is an attitude, not a type of motorcycle, rider or trip.:welcome: |

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...42858126_n.jpg Here's an update from the trail: Hi guys, everything going well here. Finished the 600 km T Rail yesterday - what a ride! More like a trail ride in parts as against adv ride, but a hoot on 250's! The pic is an old rail car by the trail. Harold I have done a bit if this long distance adv riding, and luggage has always been a ball ache. Giant Loop is fantastic for this stuff, tough, amazingly easy to use , and great balance on bike. A no brainier. Today is a road blast up to the ferry for Labrador and some serious wilderness. Thanks again for your help guys. Keith |
2-Up on KTM 640 Adventure with Fort Rock Top Case
Customer review of Fort Rock Top Case just posted on ADV Rider - Gale and his wife packing for camping, riding 2-up on a KTM 640 Adventure with soft panniers.
http://imageshack.us/a/img703/2179/7fwj.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img826/8181/u558.jpg "The Fort Rock top case is a new motorcycle travel bag being offered by Giant Loop of Bend, Oregon and I had the opportunity to test one out on several off road type motorcycle trips. I, along with wife, have over 40K miles using a "u" shape type bag similar to the Fort Rock. This bag that we have been using sits on the rear of our RT, has served us very well carrying most or all of our camping gear, 2 down bags, 3 person tent/foot print, 2 sleeping pads, first aid kit, some spare bike parts and our running shoes ! It also gives wife arm rest and a back support that she loves. The Fort Rock will do the same except we are going to double up on a 1999 KTM 640 Adventure R . The Fort Rock is designed, produced and tested by off road riders that have come to choose almost everything Giant Loop produces. This bag is very well made, super thick water proof outer material, expert stitched to eliminate almost all possible avenues for water to get inside. May not be totally water-proof but almost! Giant Loop’s Dry Pods/Dry Bags can be used to ensure total water-proof environment. This Fort Rock bag is going to be perfect for my wife and I on our first trip off road trip to test this bag. It will carry almost all of the above camping gear and still be secure enough and light enough to handle the rough roads we expect to travel. Also a good back rest/arm supports for my passenger."

WABDR to 2013 Touratech Rally
Rode the first two north-bound sections of the WABDR on the way to the Touratech-USA Rally last weekend.
http://giantloop.smugmug.com/Other/2...IMG_5413-L.jpg See that broken limb behind my bike? Jousted my handlebar end, pitching me off the bike high-side going about 30 MPH - be VERY cautious with overhanging branches! http://giantloop.smugmug.com/Other/2...IMG_5439-L.jpg Carson to Packwood and Packwood to Ellensburg - all clear, no reroutes needed. Expect a few patches of snow on the first section and about 10 miles of rutted muddy dirt road on the second section. http://giantloop.smugmug.com/Other/2...IMG_5447-L.jpg Great variety of terrain, road surfaces and scenery! :clap: |
Is that Miami Vice` Don Johnson in the first set of pics ??:thumbup1:
