Not to hijack, but I THINK the only question with the Norge is potential dash issues that could strand him with a very small support network, while the Sportster is carbureted, rubbermounted, and ubiquitous lending extreme ease in both parts and general support.
On a trip like this, though, will "stranding" and "delays" be that much of an issue? This isn't going to be an "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" whirlwind tour trying to make it back home by the 15th or you lose your job.This sounded more like a "Then Came Bronson" trip with a bedroll on the handlebars (hmmm, maybe THAT'S why a Sportster, eh?), where IFF something breaks, it might mean a day or two in a Super 8 or KOA while Curtis or Dave or someone on the list overnights a used, working dash to the stranded gypsy?What difference does it make when you get home?

Only Crusty can answer that, but would someone just happen to have that used working dash? If not the difference might be $900.00 dash, may or may not be in stock, might set him back for weeks. Some might find that part of the potential adventure, some might not.
If we were really worried about that issue, none of us would ride Guzzis.
Typically, the people who send "Help, I'm stuck in Lodi with a bad afterburner igniter, can anyone help?" get back on the road pretty quick. This trip is no different ....
I think on Crusty can tell us what is or is not different about this trip, as it's all about what HE WANTS.
Crusty already knows what HE WANTS ... he doesn't need our help with knowing what HE WANTS.
I suspect he posted his thoughts here on WG because he wants to know what WE THINK about what he wants. I don't need your help in knowing what I THINK about this trip.
Everybody loves an argument, eh?
He needs to get the knit cap and the Ray Ban Wayfarers.
For some of this stuff, like stoves, chairs, shade tarps, etc, don't purchase one right away. Wait and see how you travel and what you need. If you do need coffee first thing, then get some heat tabs first. If they work then stay with them. If you find you want more then get a stove that fits your needs. Same with the other stuff. I rarely set up my chair for an overnight stop. There are usually tables at the camp grounds. Just all depends on where you pitch the tent.
That really makes sense. KISS applies here.

A lexan french press? I've only ever seen glass or stainless. There are some nice double walled stainless ones out there.
