I posted this video in General Discussion but it warrants its own thread. Can't wait until it airs:

Yeah, it's awesome being out on the road for days on end.
I miss my trip down the Great Divide like you miss a family member when they're gone. Gotta do it again sometime! Hopefully when the kids get a bit older I can do a trip like that with them - maybe on an 800GS...

Hey kiffer, have you done some big trips on your Ktm?

Nothing major on the KTM. Did about 9000 km in 3 weeks on the Continental Divide Ride on my KLR - a great bike for that type of ride. You can read the writeup on it here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27. I also took the KLR to Idaho in 2009 for about 1750 km in 4 days: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48. And 2750 km across Manitoba for the TCAT: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=54. Would like to get the KTM outfitted for long range travel and take it on some longer trips, but family obligations are reducing my riding time enough that long trips are a rarity for me now. Maybe when the kids are older...

Haha, yes let's do it... Saskatoon to Vladivostok (you're Russian, right?) Ride to Anchorage, ship bikes to Magadan then 5K km to Vladivostok  If someone in Saskatoon would put a 500 EXC up for sale, I'd probably buy it.. these things are hard to find
