Halloween 2020 -Part 1: Pitching Camp

Installing Wrayal’s Sidecar
This article first appeared in Sidecar Traveller Nr.46 October 2019 I recently spent a couple days helping a friend swap his sidecar from a BMW G650 GS to a F800 GS. The 650 was his first sidecar rig; he’d gotten a smoking deal on it and it had served its purpose...

Good Morning
2/28/26 5:45 29F (- 1.6C) Cold, mostly clear with a slight breeze. It is quiet and dark. The light breeze has not moved the strand of clouds hanging over the trees to the southwest. Overhead it is clear and dark. The moon, waxing gibbous, set hours ago,...
