From Connecticut to Panama on Motorcycle.
« on: July 13, 2018, 12:04:35 AM »
Here is a motorcycle trip from Connecticut to Panama posted on the CT Reddit. The main character quit his job to take a motorcycle adventure .A few redditers liked it although the main character does complain a bit. I think Im going to sit back with a beer and give it a watch. Its in HD.

I had 8000 trouble free miles on my scooter. I might have been able to make that journey with the exception of the mud and floods and maybe getting bitten by a stray dog.

An educated guess from a fellow KLR owner: these bikes just don't like getting hot.  Drains the battery right down, not sure why.  Liquid cooled, but still needs a breeze, and the fan doesn't come on till the bike is HOT.  My fix is an "always on" switch for the fan.  If I'm hitting stop and go traffic, or slowly plonking down a dirt road, I turn the switch on and the bike stays cool.  You'd think that would be harder on the battery, but no, apparently not...
