      LOL. New bike alert! The all new four wheeled domicile dominating, "Lazy Steve". Gets you from couch to coffee in 10 mins. Need to rock a pass in the middle of the night, nervous about pitch black hallways and ominous stairs? Have no fear. With the detachable LED headlight, navigating to the bathroom at 3AM hasn't been easier!

    Sweet scoot! That’s really a neat mobility rig, stylin’ with the LED headlight and soft luggage. Glad you had your gear, I sometimes feel over dressed for wearing mine even to run a few errands, but we have so many deer in this area, can’t risk it. Man, not sure if you planned it, but the outro with your shadow rolling away made me lol. Cheers brother, wishing you a quick recovery.

      LOL totally didn't plan it and definitely just watched it to see. Too funny. Yeah it could have been so much worse if I didn't have the right boots. I'm still shocked I was able to ride it home on that foot. I was thinking about trying to strap the tusk bags on the scooter too, but they are still super dirty from Quebec. Cheers buddy. Happy Friday!

    wishing you the best on your recovery. bummer having your season end like this. cool idea having guest riders.
    the braided brake lines are one of the best upgrades for the klr. you will be amazed at the difference. careful applying front brake at first. just sayin'.

      I'm excited to do them up. I feel like it's going to be the same as the foot pegs. I held off forever on better pegs because I didn't believe they would help much, but sure enough, when I changed them it was a world of improvement. It's fun work too.
      Cheers buddy. Happy Friday!!

    I have been following you and your videos since inception of IADV. You're lastest series of videos have truly been just awesome! You and all of your Island ADV riding comrades have kept me entertained with miles of smiles! Yeah, that injury looks 😖! Take care of yourself and yes, the Mighty KLR (Aka) The Sliver Fox) needs some surgery too!

      Thanks so much man. I'm so glad you've been enjoying all the adventures. I really love putting them together and capturing the rides.
      I can't wait to get back on the bike. I'm going to put some decent time into it during this extended off season too, lol. Cheers and thanks for the well wishes.

    ouch! crashed on my foot a couple of times in the harescramble where it twisted my leg. Actually surprised i didn't break my leg in all that. Will pray for healing for you. That does NOT sound good.

    • @IslandADV

      @@IslandADVSo i did the whole Riverglade harescramble on D606s front and back. And it was MUDDY. They were not terrible, can't get much worse conditions than that. Even guys on mx33s were slipping and sliding during that so I think the d606s fared well. I recommend them. Better for side to side grip. The downside is more road noise of course.

      Rehab is going great. I need to make another update video here soon. Maybe I'll put one up on Monday. The foot feels great though which is good since work 1.0 and 2.0 are both VERY busy.

    Cool update. I loved the intro with the scooter. It sucks that you had to suffer an injury yet the positive is that it could have been so much worse.
    I hope you have a prompt recovery and to see you back in the trails next year.
    Cheers!

      Thanks so much. The surgery went really good so I'm resting up now.
      I think the guest videos will be fun. Mostly because of how different they'll be. I love seeing people be creative with this kind of stuff.

      Our two-up plan has unfortunately hit a snag, but it's only a snag and plan is still the same. Project V will be a Versys 650 that me and Mrs. Dowski will use to go on adventures together. We've got a long list of adventures we want to do with it too. Cabot Trail again of course, but also Quebec City, and Maybe New Hampshire. Cheers!

But will stick to main roads because of that medical thing I mentioned lol
