More On Wandering
США
Добавлен 8 мар 2022
More On Wandering is a channel with motorcycle riding as its main focus. Living in Minnesota means you have to park you bike for 4 months out of the year waiting for winter to pass. I use other’s motovlogs to get me through that time, and would like to showcase some of my rides as well to help other survive the winter. This is for those who can’t ride, those who do not ride but still like watching and those who can go for a nice all day ride and come home to watch more riding videos. You may also find some other wandering topics from time to time.

It’s currently sub freezing temps and snow on the ground here in central Minnesota, so I’m looking back at some recorded rides from this summer to help me get through the cold times. If you’re in an area like me with no riding in the winter, hopefully this will help you too. Thanks for watching and I look forward to a spring ride!

Most of the fun of having this KLR is going down roads you’d normally never go down, getting a little lost, and loving every moment of it.
A Pleasing Fall Ride On The Vulcan - Kawasaki Vulcan Classic
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.9 месяцев назад
A nice fall day for a ride. But any day in the fall you can ride is a nice day for a ride. Hoping to get a while out of the Minnesota riding season yet this year.
Stick with it you will be fine I came from a bagger to a or I love it I ride it more then the bagger so just keep going at your pace and you be fine
Vulcans are sick! Got the 04 800 Classic with 39K for 2.4K 5 minutes from my house! Love it ❤
Hahahah The KLR is an antiquated piece of shit. Every time I go out for a ride on mine something else goes wrong. Get rid of that piece of shit before it leaves you stranded
thanks for choosing a true title and not a clicking bait !! I am sick of those.
Does that speedometer plate shine in your eyes on sunny days?
no, it's low enough that it doesn't shine in my eyes, the back of the headlight does from time to time, but not that badly.
@@moreonwandering2984 I just experienced that exact thing recently maybe cause where I’m at
I got 83,000 miles on my 2002 nomad. Shes never left me walking. And she only sips a shot of oil between changes.
Looking to buy one, same model... any pros and cons you want to share about the bike?
I have zero complaints about mine. Owned it for over twenty years now and I have had no issues and no regrets owning it. I do have other bikes and have bought and sold other bikes but the Vulcan stays in my collection because it is still a pleasing bike to take out for a ride.
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Drifter 1500. I think it is a great bike. I've never had an issue with it. If I want a more spirited ride I take My Kawasaki versys 1000
Can’t go wrong with a klr to start your dirt adventure! I started my journey on a 2013 klr.
No kidding? Me too, in black- which color you get? Favorite bike of all time, and my daily commuter.
I think you are doing very well on the gravel. I have been riding ADV bikes for the past 5 years. I can remember how terrifying my first experiences were on gravel. Gravel still makes me nervous.
Thanks, I now find myself looking for the dirt and gavel options to get to places just to stay off the pavement. Still nerve racking at times but also so much fun. Thanks for watching!
Im 6'3" im looking for my first bike. Dont want to look like donkey kong in mario kart. Not into speed bikes. Like cruisers. Any help pls
I would first suggest going to as many dealers or similar where you can sit on as many bikes as possible. Cruisers and standard bikes are a great place to start, they are usually easy to ride and have enough power to ride comfortably on most roads. If you put you feet on the pegs and feel cramped it may not be good on a long ride.
I'm 6' 2" and weigh 287. I fit just fine on my 2002 Kawasaki vulcan Drifter 1500
That was my concern lol
Bought 2k Vulcan 1500 classic in stunning creme red.Love this bike.No its not fast but sure it puts smiles on my face riding it.I come from sportbike background when I had half a dozen of 600cc 900cc rocket ships and that was all fun when young but now at middle age I just want to chill enjoy the ride smell the grass and forget the world...
Yes the Vulcan is a perfect bike for those relaxing rides. It won't keep up with a 600 but you can sit on it all day and not be sore all night! Thanks for watching and ride safe!!
Great riding with you. Keep safe.
Thank you for watching!!
Congrats! I jist bought a leftover 2023 last week. Standard KLR, like yours, green! Already buying farkles to personalize it for northern MI. No 650 vstroms here either.
Congratulations to you too! I love the KLR, does a little bit of everything so every ride can be different!!
Perfect riding weather
Do u prefer your road king over the drifter ? Whats been a better more reliable machine ?
The Vulcan has been extremely reliable over the past 20 years, i have not had the Road King for that long so I can't say on reliability yet. The Road King does handle better then the Vulcan but both are great machines.
Honda crf 250 rally is great for dirt roads bro i own a 2019 its been great
we have been looking at some 250s from each of the four Japanese brands but the wife keeps going back to the TW because of the low seat and she loves the fat tires. I wouldn't mind the crf250 rally or 300 though!!
How much did this cost new ? Could you tell me please thankyou
I don't remember what they cost new for the Vulcan, but they we're much cheaper 20 years ago. I believe it was somewhere around 7k.
Had the victory vision out yesterday, taking the klr out today just as soon as the wifey goes to work. I love it when she has to work on weekends. 😀😀😀
Thank goodness that you are able to use the motorcycle to help cope with the separation anxiety!!! Ride safe and thanks for watching!
Glad to see you are out on your KLR too. Riding hit and miss here in WI too. Had the cruisers out a couple weeks ago when it was nice out. Been snowing here last 3 days so im starting to get itchy........
The snows leaving here quickly now so I should be able to get the big cruisers out again, hopefully its the same for you! Thanks for watching and Ride Safe!
I have VN1600 mean streak very comfy for a heavy lump
Comfy heavy lump, that's a great way to describe the Vulcans! All day comfort! Thanks for watching and Ride Safe
I did see how your bike looks, I believe I have that same bike, same color also, mine have the back seat, I’m assuming you removed yours?
Mine is an 03 Vulcan 1500 Classic and yes I do have the rear seat too, but leave it off when I don't need it. Great Bikes! Ride safe, I'm hopping the snow here all melts soon so I can go riding again.
I have a Street Glide and a 2022 KLR. The KLR is the most comfortable. The stock tires are not good off road, even on gravel. Don't worry I only got 1400 miles out of the stock rear. I plan to tour the KLR over the SG. Much more room to move around and you can take the gravel when you like. 😅
I agree, this KLR is very comfortable. I do find myself thinking about longer trips more on this thing than I do on the my Road King. They’re all great bikes but this KLR is finding a special place in my garage. Thanks for watching!!
How about showing the bike before you hop on so we can see what your riding
I can definitely work on that a little more, I do have some images in a couple of the thumbnails. Thanks for watching!
Love mine 29k runs great carb. Same color,.
great bike and a great color!!
South america Hellow . I had a V2 honda shadow so 4 yr ago did change it to Vn 98 classic Green colour ,4 gears .

Just relax and enjoy the ride
I'm loving the ride with this bike! Thanks for watching
I got a 22 adv but have been down with work injuries so the bike has been sitting for the last 6 months and i cant wait to get her going. Good luck with the learning part.
That does not sound like fun, hope you can get healed up and out riding soon. Thanks for watching!
I’m from central Minnesota also… get armor protection all the way around, and yes you can accessorize the crap out of it, I absolutely love mine.
Yes, I'm really loving this bike! ride safe and thanks for watching!
Swanky Cat talks about adjusting the rear brake lever, after a foot-peg upgrade, at 4:00 into the video. ruclips.net/video/GvVP6ZVnAMw/видео.htmlsi=TdBsiYkrIa1Oc7bL
Perfect! Thanks for the link, that's the adjustment I need.
It sure would be nice to be able to listen to the motorcycle to the edge. Instead, everybody wants to hear themselves, talk oh well.
Places a KLR can go: The whole Earth Places a KLR can't go: Mars (most likely) 😅
What part of the country is this?
This is in central Minnesota. Ride safe and Thanks for watching!
@@moreonwandering2984 thanks!
I just got this exact same bike just in a little worse condition today haven’t even rode it yet
Its a great bike, you'll have many miles of enjoyment!! Ride Safe and Thanks For Watching!!
there are tons of after market stiff, for that bike
Yes, you can add or change just about anything you need to fit you needs.
hit me up with the guys shops address, we're looking to buy 2 to 4 2024's KLR 650's for a major road/trail trip. the entire TAT, adding in all the national parks, between, CO. AZ. UT, and WY .
Motor Sports of Willmar! 4970 Hwy 71 NE , Willmar, MN (320) 235-2351 Scott was the Rep that helped me. That sounds like a great trip, I hope to do something similar one day. Good Luck, Ride Safe and Thanks For Watching!!
Just hit 294,000
WOW!! That's a lotta Miles!! Ride Safe for the next 294000 and Thanks For Watching!
Bought a 2002 1500 Mean Streak today with 14k Miles for 6k. Vance and Hines exhaust, such a beauty. First bike was Honda Shadow 750, went to a Kawasaki Z750 but the cruiser type called me back hahah
With only 14k on the clock that bike will offer many great rides for you, Mean Streaks are fun! Ride safe and thanks for watching!
I have a Honda Shadow 750 now and was wondering what I could upgrade to. Thanks for the answer!
Hey just dont you worry about Alex his page doesn't even have a video and he probably doesn't even own a bike because his credit probably sucks as bad as he does...keep up the videos as all the peoples who actually ride seem to love your video, just like I did.
Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for watching!
what year is your vulcan?
It is a 2003 Vulcan 1500 Classic, Thanks for watching.
Gravel roads around here gro thru several melt and freeze phases where the gravel subsides and allows the gray mud to come up and the roads become very slick and rutted. Much prefer dry summer roads with fine, settled gravel, although somewhat dusty!
a few of us, are doing a western trip come June 1st. we are all from the east coast. we've rode to the west a few years ago, way to long of a trip home. So, this year we are trailering our bikes to Canon City Co. then hit all the state parks and trails we can find. ( all the riders are in the late 50's and mid 60's ( so Slow Polk riders)
That sounds like an awesome trip, and sounds like an enjoyable pace to go at!! Hit all the great roads and ride safe!!
the handle bars look real small, would you suggest a cover over the top, to thicken the grips?
I do not mind the thickness of the stock grips, they are close to the thickness of my road kings stock grips, but this is easily changed if you like a thicker grip.
great video!
Thanks for watching!
Can't go wrong with the KLR. Rode one for years. Upgraded to a T7 when they came out. As for learning to ride off road and gravel, just do you. Don't be in a big hurry. Just watch those gravel lines where it's a little deeper. Good luck, welcome to the ADV community!
I do Keep getting more and more daring but most of the time I’m just loving riding the tiny back roads seeing where they end up. Thanks for watching and ride safe!!
I find it so relaxing riding the klr. I ride the back roads forty five ish miles per hour and love it. Mine is the same model as yours. I added the kawi bags which I find handy, throw a camp chair and a thermos in and enjoy the day.
That’s exactly what this bike is all about. Ride safe and thanks for watching.
I'm jealous. We are in mid far west Ohio and we have lots of farm land and residential areas and no place for the public to ride off road . We don't have any dirt or gravel roads in our area . I'd have to ride 3 hours away to the SE side of Ohio to ride off road . Enjoy your ride . I'm thinking about klr650 myself.
If you thinking about a KLR, I would recommend it. This bike is a lot of fun riding on the back roads but can handle almost any other type of riding. Thanks for watching!
ok teel the dealer I have been trying to find a go deal.. they want way to much in Fl. $1000.00 + mark up just to get started Thanks
I think you could probably get a very good deal on a KLR in Minnesota in January.
Lovely❤
Great video to watch as i finish out my shift at the machine shop i work. I haven't been able to get out at all snow, sub zero temps, and freezing rain in that order over the last 3 weeks lol. Ride on man love the views here!
Thanks, hopefully warmer weather soon so we can all get out again!
