Ehhh... Part of being from CA and being pro 2A is you get creative with CCWs. Just saying there are states that issue CCWs while not being a resident. I'm confident that I'm legal in the western non constitutional carry states too. Let's leave it at that.

Officially, you have a cooler job than me. Very cool you have the tools to prototype even for one off stuff. Well the "Big D" wasn't my idea, so all that helmet time certainly helped with making sense of things. Also I did a major double take with that first photo. That GS in the back of the...

Yeah, but this ties well into @SDDiver5 suggestions of a chest rig. Off the shelf holsters and a simple draw solution. I like it! Thank you for the input @Matt.H!

For ADV stuff I ride a F800GS. I got divorced last year and disappeared mid July until early October last year and did about 15k mixed on/off. Would like to do more of that. I also have a Scarbeo 250 for running around town. Looking at a Vitpilen 701 this week... The toggle extension is so...

Sure, I think I might have asked the question poorly. Comfortable location to carry with out having to do more than lift a garment a few inches like appendix carry. I'm thinking fast access. Honestly, adding the second or two opening a jacket, at that point I may was well just carry in my pack...

That's an interesting thought. Would also be handy to use the chest rig for sitting around camp in bear country. In general I agree. But sometimes its just unavoidable like walking into a government building with metal detectors. Obviously minimize time away from the bike in this situation...

Did a quick search and didn't see anything recent so opening up the topic. For those that conceal carry on bikes, what position have you found the most comfortable and how do you secure your firearm if you have to leave it behind? I daily appendix, but can't get comfy on long stretches on my...

Bought my wife, break my windows, big mex.... Yeah, heard them all. Autocrossed their cars for a long time. I am well aware. But it is hard to turn your nose up at how deep their parts network is for bikes as well. At least from my research. Your point is heard though. I know I will end up...

I'm not really stuck on BMWs... I just keep getting good deals sent to me from friends who ride them. They are in my ear though about the reliability and transit day comfort of them, so I just keep ending up looking at them. Big part of the reason I floated out the initial post. Wanted a sanity...

Quick update. I rode a F700GS earlier today. I really liked it. I was asked not to take it off pavement, so didn't get to try that out. That is a sweet bike though. I am going to ride a KLR650 later this weekend and maybe a Tiger 800 so we will see how that goes. Some immediate take away from...

I am a bit interested in the Huskys but they are very hard to find around here. I will be the first to admit it is a stupid correlation but I have a couple of their chain saws and other assorted property care tools and love them. I was aware of their bikes but never gave a serious look. I'll try...

Really appreciate the feed back. At the end of the day I realize I just need to go demo some bikes for as long as they will let me have them and figure out what is best suited and can grow with. I'm most concerned about just selecting the right bike and ignoring the budget aspect. That doesn't...

That is a really good point... I was thinking in raw mileage and not time spent in the saddle. More to noodle on for sure...

I live in the mountains so I have ridden the Scarbeo on fire roads quite a bit. I haven't done a trip on it though. That is a fair point that I should experiment with it a bit. I already have a top box on it as well. I think a 250 will be undersized because I am planning a 80/20 ish split of...

Just spent some time looking at KLR650s and realize that I should give them another look. The weight capacity is a great point. I have a bunch of ultralight type backpacking gear that I am planning on carrying, but I also think I am going to end up carrying some non standard stuff as well...

He just recommended looking in that class of bike. When I asked he said he had no brand preference. He did mention he liked the reliability of the Rotax engine BMWs and that was it. I think he wants me to "figure it out" which is very much his style. Can't blame him for that. He is not directly...

Unfortunately not... I lost my hiking buddy, We have a similar break down of the bikes on the market. I will note that the gearing on the Triumph stock is way to long for anything technical from what I can tell. Watched a family friend who is a fairly experienced rider smoke the clutch on a...

I have heard great things about 650 beamers but wasn't sure about the high way performance. Really appreciate the input!

Without doing a complete overshare, I just finished a divorce of my high school sweetheart and I am wanting to get out on the road and explore to clear my mind. Her family introduced me to the concept of overlanding when I was 18 (now 31) and have spent a lot of time cruising around the pacific...
