Thanks onewheeldrive! Everyone over there tells me it can't be fixed. I ride my vara like a dirt bike and find the front brakes coming on off road to really sucks. Maybe it's hack saw time. I hate being the only varadero rider. Great vids and thanks!
@mikeinajeep Maybe check some of the European forums where the bike is more popular to see if there's a cure for the linked braking. Gut feeling is that it will be a pretty involved process.
I dont understand why you guys are carrying so much stuff? Please tell me your not all carrying a full set of tools. You must all be overpacking by wayyy to much.
@oysteinmolsen It was Kevin who persevered on beating the rim into shape. My plan was to stuff the tire full of clothes and zap-strap it to the rim to ride out. We bought a tube for if it happened again. A lesson learned.
Peru seems a little bit closer. Just a little bit. :) As for the Honda - "repairable in the field!" :) Nice scenery at Mike's Ranch. Thanks for sharing. Hope you'll do a test with the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. Cheers my friend!
@onewheeldrive - Now You gotta book a flight. :) You'll get it soon I assume. If I test drive it earlier I shall send you some "motorider" raw material. Good luck!

Am I the only person in Canada who owns a varadero? I want/need to know how to turn off or cut the dual braking. Can you help?

@mexicolla Better than sticking greasy hands into your riding gloves after. Keeps the good things good.

@onewheeldrive Ahhh, I can see that. I watched the rest of the series and really enjoyed it!

you're riding a motorcycle through Baja, be a man about it. Don't wear gloves, grow man hands.

@VVoodstockRider Yep, we'd gone thru 2 Camelbacks and 3 Gatoraid jugs by the time we got the wheel repaired.

Great video as always. Kudos for being able to pull off that wheel repair in the middle of nowhere.

I love the mounting you have for the Contour.
It's a real shame nobody bothered to stop and even ask if you needed help. At least you were able to beat the bike back into submission. :)

@lensgrabber Yah, we'd lost the mount for the CountourHD... ok I forgot it back in Vancouver.
I was VERY happy that we managed to beat the bike into shape!

@Lecadragos I'd love to test the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200, but it's not available in Canada or the US yet.
