Robin explores plans for a DIY trailer project so he won't be tied to specific sites in New Mexico under storage limitations. He's eyeing sub-$1k options but figures the shipping might cost as much as a mid-range motorcycle itself. In his hunt for budget-friendly ways to store motorcycles and kit, he considers everything from flat-pack plywood structures to local finds before switching gears to ride reports. Brian chimes in with sage advice about high-quality zip ties. He too is maintaining equipment under a strict budget and brisk conditions (40°F tire changes aren't fun). Between gear restoration, namely resoled boots, he's preparing his FJ-09 for a spring tour with Robin in New Mexico. Joanne deep dives into fitment solutions for riders of all body types. For those seeking airy protection without risking arm or knee safety, her recommended gear ranges from Klim's generous cuts to Revit's improved Euro fits. She highlights brands that cater specifically to plus sizes alongside custom-fit leathers that prove being geared up stylishly isn't limited by straight-sized manufacturers. Enter Jordan, who picks back up on George Wyman's trials navigating flooded streams and rocky terrain. He's crossing Wyoming during early American landscape ventures circa 1903. Surrounded by nature's drama club (deep snow rivers meet sunlit warmth meets unkempt towns filled with rowdy politics), it's quite literally what life on two wheels entailed back when.
