"Pure freedom" Honestly, I've only felt it a few times. Sure, I feel it in degrees quite often, but that pure stuff is harder to get. Camping from the back of my motorcycle gives me a lot of freedom potential....gives me the ability to access so much solitude and serenity deep in wilderness areas--so quickly--it's amazing. Having nature and beauty wash over me at high speed then finding the right spot to soak in the ambience and relax while eating good food and sleeping comfortably under the stars.
I fell in love with the idea of camping with motorcycles back in 2019. So I bought a used XT 250 to learn. I did drills in snowy fields to learn wheel wash recovery. I practiced decent braking, hill climbing. and riding off camber. The next spring I bought my 701 LR knowing that a couple months putting around in the fields was hardly enough to prepare me for a bike this big... I rationalized the purchase thinking I could learn on the job. As you can easily see, my bike has been dropped a lot! I've dropped it so much that the radiator started leaking and needed to be replaced. Lol... I guess that's why it's called the "the school of hard knocks". It has a little over 5000 miles on it now with the vast majority of those being off-road. A year ago I crashed a little harder than usual. I don't remember the fall, just waking up facedown on the rocks with my foot folded in half under my bike. The break was quite severe, at least six bones broken--most broken in more than one place. A surgery involving three screws and reattaching ligaments on a dislocated toe held everything in place for healing. These days I ride more cautiously. I'm learning my lesson--injuries just aren't worth the thrill of a moment. I built my bike wanting every mechanical advantage I could possibly have for dirt riding, especially on loose rock...to make up for my lack of skill and seat time. At least that's what I tell myself, truth is I can't resist tinkering. I do it with every aspect of my life. I see everything from the perspective of an inventor and I have to play with ideas that might make it better.

"The problem with inventors is that they don't know when to stop inventing"

I heard that quote some twenty or so years ago, I use it to to keep myself in check... at least I try to control my urge. To invent is to explore ideas which means you don't really know what you'll get until you build and test. I once had a new pair of rubber mud boots. I was surprised how comfortable they were but thought I might like them even more if I cut them down just a little. They were cheap so why not, I cut them and tried them out. I was right. I did like them just a little bit better which made me wonder about cutting them just a little further. I cut them again and, then again... Eventually I realized that I had ruined the boots which were now shoes. In the trash they went. Lol! What a waste... I'm just so curious that I can't help myself.
