RDR Honda CRF250L

Honda CRF250L

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, we were told to distance ourselves and none of the race tracks were open... so I decided to get a dual sport. I've never even ridden a motorcycle off road (like gravel or dirt) before and thought this would be a good time to start exploring.

If you know me and/or looked around my website - you know I'm not too good at leaving anything stock... so let the modifications begin.

Featured Mods

Precision Motorcycle Racks: complete rack and storage setup;
IMS Products: larger tank;
Supersprox: sprockets and chain;
RimWrapz: custom rim decals;
T-Rex Racing: crash cage;
NEXX North America: adventure helmet;
Gerbing: heated gear;
Fobo Bike 2: bluetooth 5 TPMS;
Atlas: throttle lock;
Fisch Moto: spark arrestor;

Full Adventure Accessories List

I gathered up everything that I've got for the bike, gear, and camping so far and put them in lists with photos and prices. In addition to current accessory photos and prices, see the link to the video of the Top 25 accessories where I attempt to rank the things I think are the most important to get based on my entry level riding and the CRF250L.

October 2020 - IMS Tank

September 2020 - Upgraded the Bike

Enter Dual Sport Sweetness

In September 2020, I bought a beautiful 2019 and have been migrating the accessories from the 2014 and adding stuff that would not work on the newer year.

This bike has never been off the street, and it is so nice I kinda hate to do it... kinda.

Said Goodbye

I removed some of the options and prepped my 2014 Honda CRF250L for sale. It was a great bike, and I liked it so much I decided to get a newer one.

9/04/2020 - Labor Day Overnight Adventure

Labor Day weekend in 2020 was my first for many things... all wrapped into one great adventure:

1st over night camping trip with motorcycles;
1st ever camping without a camp site;
1st ever riding off road in the dark;
by far, the most difficult terrain I've ridden so far... happened in the dark, and then continued the next morning.
