More On Wandering

Приєднався 7 бер 2022
More On Wandering is a channel with motorcycle riding as its main focus. Living in Minnesota means you have to park you bike for 4 months out of the year waiting for winter to pass. I use other’s motovlogs to get me through that time, and would like to showcase some of my rides as well to help other survive the winter. This is for those who can’t ride, those who do not ride but still like watching and those who can go for a nice all day ride and come home to watch more riding videos. You may also find some other wandering topics from time to time.

The Kawasaki Vulcan Classic Sneaking Off For A Morning Ride!
That was a very cool find. Love finding old ruins like that. I like to pause and consider all the lives that carried on there.
Super nice dirt roads. Where are you (WMA)?
KLR650 is one of the funnest bikes I've owned. I don't think the value can be beat.
MN boy eh? Im in central MN myself. Tdub rules!
Just got a 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan. I'm having a great time with it.
KLR is an awesome bike. I'm on my third one. Had a 2012 that had 60k miles on the engine and still ran fine when I sold it, then had a 2018 that I rode for 30k trouble free miles before making the mistake of swapping it for a DRZ400, and then about 6 hours ago I traded the DRZ in for a 2024 KLR
I have a the 22 adventure klr and I maxed it out with after market Goody's and I took it from Eliz nj to Athens ga down and back with no problems
Wow nice ride rider what about front forks thanks
I have one and it's my jewel.
Nice... a very pleasant voice and engaging conversation
Looking to pick a 24 KLR Adventure up this coming week and all the videos Ive watched a lot were saying its such a heavy bike so I looked up the specs and it was only 452lbs and didnt think that was a very heavy bike. Ive owned dirt bikes as a kid, a crotch rocket, 1300 V Star and a 18 Harley Road Guide Special (now that was a heavy and top heavy bike!) and always wanted a dual sport so I might just pull the trigger. My Wife is gonna be pissed!! lol but on a side note, my daily driver is a 22 F450 and diesel around my area is 4.50+/gallon and she gets about 13mpg if I drive it 5 under any speed limit these KLR's are supposed to get 55mpg or so. Glad your enjoying it!
With the bikes you've had you'll think the KLR is light and nimble, and mine has always gotten around 53-57 MPG. You'll love it and they are so much fun!! Not the fastest bike, but one of the funnest!
Just bought my ex-boss' 2003 Vulcan Nomad 1500 FI in spring of 2023. 7597 miles on the clock. I'm up to 12k miles and loving the ease of maintenance so far, comfortable ride, decent handling, great stock seat. I added a batwing fairing and a different passenger sissy bar. Great hard bags with the Nomad package, front and rear floorboards, nice highway bar and other touches. Hope to ride it for many years.
I have some ADV bike recommendations... a 650 vstrom, a tenere 700, or a 750 transalp. Vstrom will be the cheapest. They have the Japanese reliability and are great bikes for the road less traveled. I have the nomad 1600 as well, but serious 2up rides we take the goldwing. I also have a 300L to learn off-road, which is making me better on my 650 vstrom off-road. I hope this helped and enjoy the ride... whatever the bike.
Stick with it you will be fine I came from a bagger to a or I love it I ride it more then the bagger so just keep going at your pace and you be fine
Vulcans are sick! Got the 04 800 Classic with 39K for 2.4K 5 minutes from my house! Love it ❤
Hahahah The KLR is an antiquated piece of shit. Every time I go out for a ride on mine something else goes wrong. Get rid of that piece of shit before it leaves you stranded
thanks for choosing a true title and not a clicking bait !! I am sick of those.
Does that speedometer plate shine in your eyes on sunny days?
no, it's low enough that it doesn't shine in my eyes, the back of the headlight does from time to time, but not that badly.
@@moreonwandering2984 I just experienced that exact thing recently maybe cause where I’m at
I got 83,000 miles on my 2002 nomad. Shes never left me walking. And she only sips a shot of oil between changes.
Looking to buy one, same model... any pros and cons you want to share about the bike?
I have zero complaints about mine. Owned it for over twenty years now and I have had no issues and no regrets owning it. I do have other bikes and have bought and sold other bikes but the Vulcan stays in my collection because it is still a pleasing bike to take out for a ride.
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Drifter 1500. I think it is a great bike. I've never had an issue with it. If I want a more spirited ride I take My Kawasaki versys 1000
Can’t go wrong with a klr to start your dirt adventure! I started my journey on a 2013 klr.
No kidding? Me too, in black- which color you get? Favorite bike of all time, and my daily commuter.
I think you are doing very well on the gravel. I have been riding ADV bikes for the past 5 years. I can remember how terrifying my first experiences were on gravel. Gravel still makes me nervous.
Thanks, I now find myself looking for the dirt and gavel options to get to places just to stay off the pavement. Still nerve racking at times but also so much fun. Thanks for watching!
Im 6'3" im looking for my first bike. Dont want to look like donkey kong in mario kart. Not into speed bikes. Like cruisers. Any help pls
I would first suggest going to as many dealers or similar where you can sit on as many bikes as possible. Cruisers and standard bikes are a great place to start, they are usually easy to ride and have enough power to ride comfortably on most roads. If you put you feet on the pegs and feel cramped it may not be good on a long ride.
I'm 6' 2" and weigh 287. I fit just fine on my 2002 Kawasaki vulcan Drifter 1500
That was my concern lol
Bought 2k Vulcan 1500 classic in stunning creme red.Love this bike.No its not fast but sure it puts smiles on my face riding it.I come from sportbike background when I had half a dozen of 600cc 900cc rocket ships and that was all fun when young but now at middle age I just want to chill enjoy the ride smell the grass and forget the world...
Yes the Vulcan is a perfect bike for those relaxing rides. It won't keep up with a 600 but you can sit on it all day and not be sore all night! Thanks for watching and ride safe!!
Little update on vulcan 1500 I replaced stock NKG6_9 front cylenders to NKG5 and little hotter and gap .36 and bike is noticeably more responsive more power from this simple mode. Thought to share
Great riding with you. Keep safe.
Thank you for watching!!
Congrats! I jist bought a leftover 2023 last week. Standard KLR, like yours, green! Already buying farkles to personalize it for northern MI. No 650 vstroms here either.
Congratulations to you too! I love the KLR, does a little bit of everything so every ride can be different!!
Perfect riding weather
Do u prefer your road king over the drifter ? Whats been a better more reliable machine ?
The Vulcan has been extremely reliable over the past 20 years, i have not had the Road King for that long so I can't say on reliability yet. The Road King does handle better then the Vulcan but both are great machines.
Honda crf 250 rally is great for dirt roads bro i own a 2019 its been great
we have been looking at some 250s from each of the four Japanese brands but the wife keeps going back to the TW because of the low seat and she loves the fat tires. I wouldn't mind the crf250 rally or 300 though!!
How much did this cost new ? Could you tell me please thankyou
I don't remember what they cost new for the Vulcan, but they we're much cheaper 20 years ago. I believe it was somewhere around 7k.
Had the victory vision out yesterday, taking the klr out today just as soon as the wifey goes to work. I love it when she has to work on weekends. 😀😀😀
Thank goodness that you are able to use the motorcycle to help cope with the separation anxiety!!! Ride safe and thanks for watching!
Glad to see you are out on your KLR too. Riding hit and miss here in WI too. Had the cruisers out a couple weeks ago when it was nice out. Been snowing here last 3 days so im starting to get itchy........
The snows leaving here quickly now so I should be able to get the big cruisers out again, hopefully its the same for you! Thanks for watching and Ride Safe!
I have VN1600 mean streak very comfy for a heavy lump
Comfy heavy lump, that's a great way to describe the Vulcans! All day comfort! Thanks for watching and Ride Safe
I did see how your bike looks, I believe I have that same bike, same color also, mine have the back seat, I’m assuming you removed yours?
Mine is an 03 Vulcan 1500 Classic and yes I do have the rear seat too, but leave it off when I don't need it. Great Bikes! Ride safe, I'm hopping the snow here all melts soon so I can go riding again.
I have a Street Glide and a 2022 KLR. The KLR is the most comfortable. The stock tires are not good off road, even on gravel. Don't worry I only got 1400 miles out of the stock rear. I plan to tour the KLR over the SG. Much more room to move around and you can take the gravel when you like. 😅
I agree, this KLR is very comfortable. I do find myself thinking about longer trips more on this thing than I do on the my Road King. They’re all great bikes but this KLR is finding a special place in my garage. Thanks for watching!!
How about showing the bike before you hop on so we can see what your riding
I can definitely work on that a little more, I do have some images in a couple of the thumbnails. Thanks for watching!
Love mine 29k runs great carb. Same color,.
great bike and a great color!!
South america Hellow . I had a V2 honda shadow so 4 yr ago did change it to Vn 98 classic Green colour ,4 gears .

Just relax and enjoy the ride
I'm loving the ride with this bike! Thanks for watching
I got a 22 adv but have been down with work injuries so the bike has been sitting for the last 6 months and i cant wait to get her going. Good luck with the learning part.
That does not sound like fun, hope you can get healed up and out riding soon. Thanks for watching!
I’m from central Minnesota also… get armor protection all the way around, and yes you can accessorize the crap out of it, I absolutely love mine.
Yes, I'm really loving this bike! ride safe and thanks for watching!
Swanky Cat talks about adjusting the rear brake lever, after a foot-peg upgrade, at 4:00 into the video. ua-cam.com/video/GvVP6ZVnAMw/v-deo.htmlsi=TdBsiYkrIa1Oc7bL
Perfect! Thanks for the link, that's the adjustment I need.
It sure would be nice to be able to listen to the motorcycle to the edge. Instead, everybody wants to hear themselves, talk oh well.
Places a KLR can go: The whole Earth Places a KLR can't go: Mars (most likely) 😅

Its a great bike, you'll have many miles of enjoyment!! Ride Safe and Thanks For Watching!!
there are tons of after market stiff, for that bike
Yes, you can add or change just about anything you need to fit you needs.

Motor Sports of Willmar! 4970 Hwy 71 NE , Willmar, MN (320) 235-2351 Scott was the Rep that helped me. That sounds like a great trip, I hope to do something similar one day. Good Luck, Ride Safe and Thanks For Watching!!

WOW!! That's a lotta Miles!! Ride Safe for the next 294000 and Thanks For Watching!
Bought a 2002 1500 Mean Streak today with 14k Miles for 6k. Vance and Hines exhaust, such a beauty. First bike was Honda Shadow 750, went to a Kawasaki Z750 but the cruiser type called me back hahah
With only 14k on the clock that bike will offer many great rides for you, Mean Streaks are fun! Ride safe and thanks for watching!
I have a Honda Shadow 750 now and was wondering what I could upgrade to. Thanks for the answer!
