I've got a 2002 Harley Dyna SuperGlide with 18" apehangers saddle bags rear pack rack. Riding gear ... Open face helmet (black) with face wrap on the cold days and rayban sunglasses (corrective lenses) Arlen Ness jacket, leather vest, draggen jeans, leather chaps, harley boots and depending on the weather open finger gloves or full gloves. Used to ride it any weather but got sick of spending more time polishing it than riding it.. Its going on the market as soon as i can bring myself to do it, I'll buy a cheaper ride and spend some cashola on my disco oh and the missus
I'm relatively new to the Land Rover scene (although I've harboured a secret love of them for many years) but bikes ... that's a different story.
My current bikes are a KTM 530 EXC that's been modified for navigation rally racing. Here we are in the 2010 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge back in April:

Riding gear is pretty full on for a world championship round like that and I don't scrimp the dollars on this stuff - it's saved my life more than once!:

Off to do it again in March 2011 ... then the Australasian Safari in September.
I forgot to mention the other bike - a 1988 Cagiva 750 Elefant. It's No. 257 of the 500 made and is the limited "Lucky Explorer" version to celebrate the Cagiva win of the Paris Dakar in 1988.

When riding I base it on where I'm riding...

Cracked frames were an issue. As was the rotary damper. From '98 onwards they came out detuned.Quote:
