    I really like your videos. One thing I have meant to bring up, is the tires on your expedition. While I use 3 different tire types, because of the terrain I live in, and the weather here in the GPNW, the best tire I found for the Expedition in your area, and mine in the Summer, is the Schwalbe "Big Apple" tire. Although my riding partner prefers the Schwalbe "Mondial" for the rear of his Expedition. My girlfriend prefers the "Marathon Racers", however she rides a Catrike Road, and is a girl, so she doesn't count. You should really look into the "Big Apples" as they will improve your riding comfort, while increasing performance. I need to upload a video of my Candy Purple Expedition and B.O.B. trailer, that I use in the Cascades and Tetons. You're making me look bad.

    • @FMChronicles

      Hi kirk I use schwalbe marathon in the front and a holy roller in back to help with Traction. That's interesting, I'm gonna be looking into the big apple Tire all the way around. Yes, please post videos of the Tetons mountains. That would be a cool Background for your cat. Thanks for the info.

    Nice job! I did something similar with my F-150 for the ROAM tour in 2011. Although I needed a trailer, for the Velomobiles. These days I use my Dodge Magnum to tow the two Expeditions and sleep in the back of the Magnum. The 394 cubic inch Hemi works a bit better then the small block V-8 in the Ford, towing in the mountains out West. With that rig, you can come over to Tater TOT, sometime, I think you would really like the Trail of the Coeur D' Alenes.

    Looks good. Do you prefer those bars over the original cruiser bars? Looks like they may sit a bit higher, maybe more comfortable when cruising? Not many of these electried that I've seen.

Really fun though!
