I started the process of rejetting my KTM 950 for the altitude, but after dropping and losing a bolt early in the process I decided to just run very rich with the sea-level setting. Morgan finally made it in later that night from Seattle.
In places where the road was cut into the side of hills the same thing would happen in a less pronounced manner. Needless to day it made for a few hours of very attentive driving.
My personal KTM 950 Adventure and Touratech-USA’s KTM 1190 Adventure R were strapped in for the journey and I can assure you they make a great sight in the rearview mirror.
I’ve been helping Beau Sullivan from the Touratech warehouse recently on his 1989 Suzuki GS500E. While walking him though the engine rebuild process I realized how little thought is often given to the gaskets.
Today, Vancouver BC’s Travis McCaig stopped by Touratech-USA on his KTM 1190 Adventure R. He and his girlfriend Kana Iwabuchi are riding to Bolivia where they’re relocating. Now that sounds like an adventure!

Why did I choose a Garmin Montana 600 for navigation on motorcycles? These days the ever-increasing capabilities of smart-phones and tablets have forced the question to be asked: Are dedicated GPS units are even still relevant or required?
