@Fraser: that link...
First I thought, what the hell has campgrounds in mexico to do with my thread... :rolleyes2:
But then I found this: Earth-Roamers : How did the Triumph Bonnevilles perform?
:) :)
Now that's what I was looking for!
Thanx! :)

How about just putting some longer shocks on the Intruder, some knobly tires 3 dry bags and some bungee cords. Use the rest of your money for gas, food and alcahol.

Well, that would just look ridiculous...

Scrambler?
 

A scrambler has been to Mongolia and Africa (see Youtube). Can't get much more off-road than that? Australian Earth-Roamers have been in 'BMW GS' territory in Alaska and Canada on pretty much standard T100s. It's easy to say 'take a lightweight' as weight is a killer but I wouldn't want to be on a 250 on long trips, too slow, too dangerous and any weight will make them top heavy. DR400 for a long trip? With 3 airhawks maybe...
I'd do it with this Earth-Roamers : Alaska (Part 3)

Ever since I watched Jean Claude van Damme on the Trumpy in Nowhere to Run (Nowhere to Run (1993) - IMDb), I was in love.

Reading Ted Simons journey around the world on his sold me.

Yes it's not the best bike, but then neither is a R80 or R100, but lots of people still believe they're the best thing since swiss cheese.

Definitely my 1st choice for a retro-cool tourer. :funmeteryes:
