Pioneer Ride Of The Century Discussion Thread!!!

[Montecresto]

All I have done for heat remediation has been the foil. Rode around for a bit in town today, all under 20mph, no heat at all. There is a good bit of wind through the dash sometimes, I think the bristles like older console automatic car shifters had would work great.

The heat from the seat is what's killing us, not so much through the dash.

You better have a thread on it!

This is the thread for that, your build and mine is in here!

The bristles or a rubber track on the dash gear selectors would be cool though for helping keep the cold out during winter!

I've got a crap ton of accessories setting on the table to put on the P1K and no time to do it presently!!!

I found out the heat through the dash to be nice in the winter.

You talking about spare time. I feel ya!

 

[Montecresto]

I've got two bilge fans on the way. Not sure how I'll install them yet. I'm going to talk to Tiger at the ride in mid July about his configuration.

Have you gone over to South Dakota and licensed your P1K yet?

No, not yet. I'm thinking of just planning that as part of the trip. Just do it when we get there. Sisseton is right on the border.

I've always thought the same thing, but couldn't put it into words! Thanks for that.
Now make us some!
(Mississippi is hot, always)

Sounds a bit risky! What about crossing Wisconsin and Minnesota unlicensed? What if you don't have everything that you need when you get to Sisseton?

I do have one. What's the interest level in a "support vehicle" that meets at the stopping point each night? I've got a 42' cyclone toy hauler sleeps 10+ if I could find a driver. That could take some of the fun out of it though. I can make it to the start real easy. Haven't quite figured out how I'd get home though.

How is that you can so easily get to the starting point, what's your plan. And is that bumper an AM that you ordered, or did you fabricate it??

I can get there real easy cause it's only about 5 hrs away. I'll probably have someone just haul me up there and drop me off. For the return it sounds like my dad and brother are willing to make the trip west to pick me up and bring me home. I think paying for them to pick me up with the toy hauler is going to be the most expensive part of the whole trip. The bumper is one that I built myself then had it powder coated.

Great job on the bumper!!! I'm still undecided about both ends of the trip. I can't find a box truck with a high enough door in the back to clear the P1K unless I get the super big dude that can move a whole house, not so practical or economical. I'm too far away to get anybody to take me up.

Could you get someone to take you part way? I could pick you up somewhere then we could put all our stuff on a big gooseneck and make the rest of the trip up to the start.

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Kansas City would be a good spot to pick you up. Could you get that far?

Sure thing, do you have a goose neck that would fit two P1K's and a tear drop trailer?

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Not personally but I think I can get my neighbor to loan me his. He runs a business I'll just ask him to sponsor the ride by loaning me his trailer.

 

[Cuoutdoors]

So I've been thinking about building my tear drop with the same wheels and tires as the Honda. What do you think about that? Then would you take one spare or two?
