@@StockyBaldman thanks

Words may or may not have been shared just there..

Ya it’s a pretty knarly bike. Didn’t realize they’re actually 25lb lighter than my exc500 until this ride. Just assumed they’d be the same or a bit heavier, even though it’s 2 stroke.

@ThisTall are you riding again can I go we you guys I'm in penticton

@@sams7603we typically just put these together the night before. If you join Okanogan dual sport and adventure riders, or BCdualsport on Facebook, there’s a bunch of locals you could probly put something together with.. I post all these in there .

@@sams7603I could probably get you a GPX track of this ride if you want to explore it yourself. There’s double track access to the top and around that mountain, but those short hill climbs 3/4 of the way through was us failing to make it through on single track. So we had to turn back.

@ThisTall I'm using app trailforks I posted already on that group nobody respond if someone riding at bear creek. Send me some location or if you guys going I can go with you guys

There’s a bunch more but they’re either blocked by logs, or impossible to spot after the fire.

@@gwos25 Thanks. Single track like that is easy to make look good. You don’t have to cut so many clips together, you just let the shots run and make sure you get the wipe outs lol.

Thanks. I was expecting a bit of a longer trek that day, not black single track. So I had side bags and 14/45 gears in. Which made it much harder.

That was Marco on his 790. He's about as good on that thing as I am on my 500.

@@ThisTall Oh 790.. yeah I could tell! Riding it like a dual sport haha!

Which trails were you on? We started at Hydraulic lk about 10am

@@ThisTall I went up Philpot around 2pm to Ideal Lake, then across to Postil and down to James Lake. A buddy and I rode down to Arlington lakes and back from Myra last weekend as well. Just been exploring the area on my 501 lately, as I sustained a knee injury last year and haven't been able to get out on my 2-stroke. Dual sport riding is a lot kinder on the body than single track is lol.

Between Kelowna and Penticton. East side of Okanogan lk

@@ThisTall are you guys riding this July can I join

@@sams7603 join Okanogan dual sport and adventure riders on Facebook and there’s a bunch of us in there riding that area.

Glad you liked it!

A T7 could definitely do it. There’s only a short section I’d say some might consider a bit rough on a big bike.

Lol but I got 4x more wet than he did… and it helps my ego feel better !

I also left in the cut of him flipping me the bird for it later .

Thanks

Did you ride any of the blue intermediate single track?

@@ThisTall Not really sure, it was ten years ago. I'm guessing the trail I was on was made by a tractor or something that doesn't make a path a dirt bike would.

@@samiam247You were just on the quad track than. There’s plenty of raw single track you missed.

@@ThisTall Could be.

@@samiam247check out the bear creek video I uploaded last week for what the black run single track is like up there

That was my 1st time in the area, and I had a guide, so I’m not sure of the trail names yet. I know right in the summerland area we didn’t quite wonder back as far as the dump.

You mean the one that bypasses the highway slide?

@samiam247 no that's way up to Tout Lake Main fornthe slide bypass. Garnet Valley goes from just by the Peachland Works yard to Harnet Valley Road into Summerland.

Ya it’s alright lol.

I guess by “best” I mean what would have made the better footage for a video. There was plenty of beautiful, colourful windy trail in the morning, but all that tower hill climbing and the hill climbs after it where I was still doing well, and then filming myself suck wind like a dying fish on those wet rock climbs that finished me off would have been fun to laugh at.

A 1ltr backup and you’d make it 100%

What kind of trip are you planning this year?

@@ThisTall No BC dual sport trips this year. COVID messed up the planning.

@@Eean1975 damn Covid!!

Cool. You from around here?

@@ThisTall I'm from Ottawa but do the cross Canada thing every year!

HolmiesMotoAdv Nice! Do you take the TCAT or just wonder around where wherever

@@ThisTall I wing it day by day! This weekend I'll be out in Perth, Ontario, a month from now I'll be BC, and a week from that I'll be out East! Haha I'm a Off-Road Moto gypsy 🍻

Hey man, doing good. I guess it does look like Sweden cause I thought your videos were from around here to lol. Loving the 1090!! Like more then I thought I would. Need to get the suspension set up for my weight and a bit better for off rd but it’s a great bike.

Kermit Glad to hear you loving the bike. The first year I had my bike I had the suspension set as it came, nice on the road but felt soft off-road, over the long Winter amongst other things I changed the suspension settings to sport. It is way better off road.

My Big Dirt Bike ya I believe you, I’m already a bigger guy to so it’s pretty soft. Mine also came lowered 20mm so it’s extra bad off rd :( Got a big trip planned from bc to Manitoba in a month or so, so it’s going to have to wait until I can grab some moto camping gear and a giant loop Coyote

grainmatch You can see the stone that the rim was cupping in the next shot.

Big -D not sure, I just know them as monster Mayhems. The Zillas were easily the tire to get for the trail in winter tho.

Kermit ok. My bad. Yea there's monster mayhems and mega mayhems. Just was wondering. Ive been looking at zillas or monster mayhams. Thanks for the info. 👍

Big -D we had 4-5 renegades trying different 4-5 different tires in deep snow over 2 years and the Zillas were the clear winner. The Mayhems did circles around them in this videos scenario but with the same conditions on a hill climb or anything at a little speed like lk crossings in slushy stuff the Zillas were SO much liter then anything with a good knob on it they were the only tire that could keep speed. As long as you get the 30” Zillas or as tall as you can they beat the crap out of the ITP mud lights, Mayhems, outback’s, bighorns And 1-2 others.

Big -D as long as you’re not talking about the mud Zillas cause they are very different then Zillas, they’re just like the Monster Mayhems, both are almost twice the weight as a Zilla

Kermit thanks for all the info. Im leaning towards the zillas.

76whyworry Thanks

gwen mckay shhh, secret, not suppose to be up there
