    This is that guy from Illinois, I definitely do care. You have a lot of things to still do while you can and you have no obligation to make TH-cam videos for us. Just want you to enjoy your adventures in your own way. I still love to see the videos. And long after you are gone, I would love to still show them to people (if I have kids show them too) about how I got to know this cool guy!

    Thanks for video :⁠-⁠) How did these pegs work for you? Hold up well? Rattle too much and drive you crazy? Stay tight? I'm looking for a good set for my twin, and your install so far has me shopping for Altrider pegs. I have a tricolor twin also. Man they look sharp ehhhh! Even in Canada, lol.

    • @ageofexploring
      @ageofexploring 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sorry for the delay in my reply. They are great. No rattling and they stay tight on the bars. I did move them to a more comfortable location (back about 6") and I use them more. The ONLY complaint I had is that they do seem to freeze in position if they are not used regularly. But I think ALT Rider fixed that with a rubber plug type of recall (it was free). If I lube them once in a while they go up and down with a kick of my boot.

    I'm a huge fan of Amanda and have been a patron for a couple of years so I would absolutely love to attend Rocky Mountain Roll.... but there is the not insubstantial issue of 4,500 miles of land and sea, so I will continue to watch the video's you and she make and do my visitin vicariously. On the flip side, there is a similar event in the UK called the Overlander Winter Warmer, it's a max of 120 people and is held early in February (mid winter). I already have my ticket.

    Glad you're ok. That could have been a lot worse. Why in the world would you put a 2 inch curb between lanes of traffic to start with and then make it worse by camouflaging it? I'm totally confused? I'm like AT, I've saw full size curbing used to separate lanes but it was painted yellow to make it stand out. I'm going to have to do some research on that one. I know some people I can contact that does that type of work. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm thankful you weren't seriously hurt.

    • @ageofexploring

The second link is the home page. mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno_2009r1r2.htm mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/index.htm I have a close Buddy that is a traffic planner and he hooked me up with this. I showed him your video and it upset him greatly because of such a dangerous thing. Again, sorry it's taken me so long to get it to you. I've been working on my V-Strom getting ready for a loop trip from Tennessee into Northern Pennsylvania visiting as many of the major Civil War Battle Grounds and Museums as I can.
