For those considering a ride along Route 66 through the Mojave Desert, here's a link to a short tour I just completed. General route was Hesperia CA to Boulder City NV via 66 and Hwy 95.

General Discussion / Fuel Canisters in Hokkaido, Japan

« on: May 29, 2013, 02:51:35 pm »

Hi everyone!
My wife and I are planning a self-contained tour in Hokkaido next month.  I'm working on purchasing propane/isobutane fuel canisters on our way through Niigata but I need to know how readily available they are along the route so I'll know how many to initially buy.  We'll be camping/cooking most nights. The riding portion will begin in Otaru, up the west coast to Wakkanai, then to Sapporo via the central part of the island.
Thanks for any information you can provide about this, or anything else you can add!

Have a great ride!

General Discussion / Scotland Touring

« on: December 20, 2005, 01:25:15 am »

Does anyone out there have experience and/or good sources of information about touring in Scotland?  I'm starting to plan a trip there in Sep 06 and anything will help.

I'm pretty self reliant, so I'm mainly looking for unexpected stuff that could create a problem like unique laws or traveling issues, odd camping situations, etc.

Thanks in advance for your input.
