hmy: weedy!
Don't let my girlfriend hear you say that
, she loves this bike. It was still powering up hill at over 8000ft a few weeks ago!
But seriously it's now done thousands of miles across Canada and not missed a beat, cool little bike!
Yep ride report is on it's way on the link above, we don't usualy ride with anywhere near that much luggage, that was just for a big ferry crossing, we then dumped half that stuff in a storage locker.

ha ha, yes, I know just how good they are (providing you are happy to accept sub 50mph on anything windy or uphill! :laugh:) I know, I've had two, one of which I rode back from collection in Selby, up to Northumberland, on the motorway - not fun! Plucky little things though. My son had the DR125 at the same time and the DR200 didn't really seem any more powerful.
Seriously though, all credit and look forward to reading the report. (thumbs)

What boxes/frames do you have on the Explorer?
Starting to look for aftermarket panniers for mine!

Well when I got my 2016 Explorer Givi didn't make the rails for there own cases and I didn't like the Triumph ones so I went with the SW Motech EVO rails and the SW Motech Trax Adventure panniers, slightly more than the Trax EVO but I preferred them.
The top box is the official Triumph Expedition one
