  • Day 1 of my Touratech Rally West 2021 adventure began with a six hour road trip up Interstate 5, through the Columbia Gorge, across the river into Washington state, and through the farmland and forests to Plain, Washington. I was so excited to have been invited to be a presenter at the 2021 Touratech Rally, so I decided to make the trip up to Washington a day early. Once I arrived, I set up my enclosed trailer toy hauler camper conversion for the five days I'd spend there, met up with Beards, Bikes, and Camping to hear all about his road trip ordeal (TWO tire changes on his Honda Africa Twin), enjoyed a delicious burger for dinner, had a few beers, met my neighbors, and enjoyed a Mr. Puff Puff before heading off to sleep in my enclosed trailer camper.
    Stay tuned for the rest of the 2021 Touratech Rally including a walk down vendor row, a test ride of the 2022 Triumph Tiger Rally Pro 900, some amazing riding and even more amazing views, and all the enclosed trailer camper conversion camping you can handle! It was a great trip and I can't wait to share all of Touratech West 2021 with you!

    Hey all! I'm loving the enthusiasm around the new KLR and all the questions about why I didn't take it on this trip. The explanation is simple.
    Touratech Rally: 9/15-9/19
    New KLR Purchased: 9/27
    Sadly, I did not have a time machine at this point so I wasn't able to ride the bike I hadn't yet purchased in these videos. I hope you'll enjoy the series, anyway ;)

    I'm really happy that you bought the KLR. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one but was talked out of it by a friend saying its too heavy for offroad. I ended up getting a used KTM EXC 450 F Six Days (same money as your new bike). Looking forward to learning more about the bike.
