Hey Shawnne ladybug women. If you ever pass through Indiana going back to southern IL., give us a call and we'll buy lunch and jabber awhile. Have a great time. Mitch

Dawn....congrats, you're gonna be fine and enjoy the hell out of it. Worst part is actually doing it. Once you're out there.....it's all good. I've done it a couple of times over the years and when I look back, they were some of the best years I've had. Many memories!hoyden said:When I think too much about it, I get scared. Eep!
I just heated up a tortilla in my toaster oven. Got a glass of water from my kitchen faucet.
Brushed my teeth and cleaned the toothbrush in the bathroom sink.
My cottage is dinky, by most U.S. standards: about 320 square feet. I like small spaces, but this still has plumbing...
and a doggie door to a yard. Conveniences. Creature comforts.
Netflix without worrying about using my cell phone data plan.
But I'm going to variation, and exploration, and friends, and testing of my resolve and creative and troubleshooting abilities. And I love campering!
And I so need a change.
I'm hoping to sell my DR200 and get something even smaller. Perhaps a wee Trail 90.
The DR is great, but it's just too heavy and awkward for me to feel comfortable loading/unloading it on my own.
I don't plan to do any major riding - I don't like leaving the dogs alone for too long, and I don't want to risk getting hurt far away from the camper. A little Trail 90 will be fun for some exploring, for scouting, and for emergencies.
I've got a Curtis hitch on the front of my Toyota so I could easily put a rack there or a good regular bike/mc rack on the rear would do fine as well. Nowhere near the weight of your DR. Starting at the end of Feb I'll be back on the road for about a 3 month period and want to take something like this on the trip. Decided tonite to get rid of the DR and go with something similar or something like craig333 posted. Both, good concepts.hoyden said:Hey park and hi Petey!
Thanks for the confidence! Prep stressed me out. I'm sure I won't feel comfortable until I've been on the road for a couple of weeks.
That e-bike is neat!
How would you carry it and how would you secure it? That'd be my biggest concern with something smaller and lighter-weight.
This is even cooler. I may look into this as well. Thanks for posting it.craig333 said:Looked at these? https://motoped.com/survival/
That's NEAT! But I've not the budget for it. :-(craig333 said:Looked at these? https://motoped.com/survival/

Longhorn hit it on the nail for me- getting old and soft.hoyden said:Ha! I do have a bicycle to bring with... but I'm thinking if I'm stuck somewhere difficult and 40 miles away from pavement, I might want motorized.
