    I don't know if you watch CanAm missing 411. The man who runs the show recommends PLB personal locator beacons. There a green one that clips onto your belt or pack. You just lift the antenna & flick the switch & wait. It has a 10 warranty & is about $ 300 buck. Just a thought.❤️🙏

    How do you manage tires with all the tumbleweed goat head stickers on the
    roads and trails? Do you have tire liners or use Slime sealant?

    On another note Steve, when you replaced your fridge a while back, did you need to keep the fans you installed? Just about to do the same thing if I can find one like you did. Sorry that it is off topic.

    • @XplorerSteveDIY
      @XplorerSteveDIY  2 роки тому +1

      A company is sending me a fan set much like the one I home-made. I will install it when it gets in. But yes. This setup in the van needs a fan to vent the hot air on hot days. Makes all the difference in the world.

    Re: Range anxiety while out long trail riding. Are the batteries very heavy? I.e., is it worth it to carry a fully-charged extra battery in a good day pack while out riding for the day to subdue any range anxiety?

    • @XplorerSteveDIY

    Hey Steve .... I looked up the Sur Ron .... (a bit pricy , for my wallet ....) Looks like a fun experience though !! And it has a lot better suspension than the electric scooter that you took to Quartsite last month .....

    • @XplorerSteveDIY
      @XplorerSteveDIY  2 роки тому

      The suspension is plush on the Sur Ron. Very comfy ride. That scooter is very capable however. I was surprised. I just got in some off road tires for the scooter that I will install here soon.

      You might want to check out Honda CRF 125fb or Kawasaki klx 140, both under $4000 and never runs out of battery. The Honda gets 90-100 mpg. I have been saving for months to get a Talaria, then a random video of the Honda popped up on YT this week. I plan on trail riding and camping and all this waiting and charging crap doesn't sound like a fun weekend to me.

      If you are talking charging on the run, an inverter plugged into your 12vdc socket would work. I could charge my scooter with my jackery 1000 and solar panels. Not this one though.

      I’ve got the engine ready to come out. I got the Pistons freed by putting some marvel miracle oil down each cylinder and letting it bake in 100° plus Las Vegas heat for a couple of weeks. It didn’t take much but I am eager to see what it looks like in there. I Got a used harbor freight glass cabinet for 50 bucks and I got the stuff to convert it to a vapor blaster. I think I’m gonna need a cheap harbor freight parts cleaner as well. Thanks for asking
