“My cousins and I would take out ATVs out after a spring rain and mud up our tires and clothes.”

I remember as a child one of my favorite activities was to hop onto a car hood tied to the back of Dad’s 3wheeler and he would pull my sister and I around on the ice and snow. We would return to the house with Rudolph noses, dusted in snow, and our fingers would take hours to thaw. As I got older I became aware of the term “mudding!” My cousins and I would take our ATVs out after a spring rain and mud up our tires and clothes. Those are the memories that are forever locked away in my memory closet.

As summer rolls around the corner, we’re going to be pulling out our ATVs and dirt bikes. Fine tuning the engines, replacing oil, gassing up and checking the tires. But why stay in your backyard if you can load up in a Chevy Silverado and really tear up the dirt?

With a large selection of Silverado 1500 trucks, Chevrolet has built trucks that’ll get you where you need to be and keep your cargo safe so you can make memories. The Chevy Silverado 1500 comes in four different trim levels, the: work truck, LS, LT, and LTZ. Available in regular cab, extended cab, or crew cab there’s a truck to suit your needs.

“Put all these pieces together and you get one great “kick butt” truck to haul your off road vehicle in.”

The Silverado is available in two different drive trains, four-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive and V6 or V8 engines. MPG ranges from 20-25 on the highway and 15-20 in the city. If you’re worried about the color there are plenty of colors to choose from: black, blue granite metallic, graystone metallic, summit white, victory red and more. Put all these pieces together and you get one great “kick butt” truck to haul your off road vehicle in.

2012 Triumph Tiger: Adventure Touring DillonCycles Motorcycle Information

Editor November 28, 2011 Motorcycle Accessories, Off-Road Dirt Bike Accessories, review, touring, triumph 1

Dillon Brothers carries Triumph and we would like to say that the UK based motorcycle manufacturer has some of the world’s best Adventure Touring class bikes, like the 2012 Tiger Explorer:

2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200

A relative newcomer to this long existing but recently re-classified category is the brand-new, 1215cc three-cylinder engine powered Triumph Tiger. The motor, which utilizes a ride-by-wire electronic throttle system and only requires 10,000-mile services, is claimed to produce 135 horsepower with 89 ft. lbs. of torque, numbers that make it a clear class leader in the adventure motorcycle segment.

With this power arrives an abundance of rider safety and comfort equipment which comes standard on the Tiger Adventure. Cruise control, switchable traction control, switchable ABS, and fun are all part of the package. The seat itself is adjustable from 33.7- to 31.6-inches along with the adjustable wind screen and handlebars. Triumph was quoted as saying [that the] "passenger hasn’t been forgotten about either, with a wide and comfortable seat equipped with large grab handles for comfort and security."

Setting the bar as a class-leader in handling Triumph also says it designed the chassis specifically for a combination of "excellent low-speed balance and composed high speed capability." Furthering quotes to this goal "The strong tubular steel trellis frame bears a strong visual resemblance to other models in the Triumph family, while the single-sided rear swingarm showcases the 17" 10-spoke rear wheel. Adjustable 46mm front forks allow the rider to tailor the Tiger Explorer to their individual needs and riding conditions, with the long-travel suspension and 19" front wheel giving the Tiger Explorer 1200 the capability to easily handle unpaved roads."

The instrumentation features un equaled extras like as ambient air temperature with ice warning, and optional tire pressure monitoring system. Triumph offers many accessories for the 2012 Tiger Explorer as well, including a pannier style bag system capable of holding 60 liters (16 gallons for those of us Stateside) of luggage, and a top tour pack that offers 35 liters (9.25 Gallons) of space, plenty of room for a full-face helmet.

Triumph didn’t under engineer the electronics on the Tiger Explorer; the adventure bike features a class leading 950w generator for extended loaded running of multiple electrical accessories. Heated rider and pillion seats, heated grips, high-power fog lights and a top box with integrated power supply for charging while traveling can all be run without worry of issue. This includes a stock a power socket close to the ignition, for powering items like GPS, cell phone chargers, etc.
