    That slow-motion wipeout is oddly graceful. Long after I would have shut my eyes and started screaming like a little girl Tim was still effecting counterbalance moves. Amazing.

    Haha Good on ya for toughing it out. Poor Travis should really take care of himself because riding with health issues and suffering can really cause costly mistakes. Tim looked like he was over steering a lot in the rocky sections. If he grips the tank a little with his knees while he rides standing up, that can often stabilize the bike and help the rider have a better sense of what the bike is doing. The second is to steer more by pressing down a bit on the peg to turn in that direction, which can reduce the chances of the front tire washing out. I only suggest this because it helped me a lot when an expert rider made these suggestions to me. Tim's power slide was awesome, glad he was not injured.

    “One of the things that astounds me when we take these trips the most is just the kindness of strangers. The way that if you were in a bind and need something, someone is always there to help out.” I loved hearing that and I believe that’s what a lot of people overlook about the world. I’ve had more than one occasion in which I was in a bind while on the road and complete strangers helped me out of a jam. There are a lot of good people in the world; don’t focus on the few bad people.

    • @TourmeisterTWT
      @TourmeisterTWT Год назад +1

      I feel ya. I went for a ride with my son last weekend on some local roads here in East Texas and it was 102F! An hour in we stopped for gas and I had to have him finish filling my bike while I went inside to cool off. After a short break and some Gatorade, I was fine for the rest of the ride. There have been a few times before though were I thought I was going to puke in my helmet (109F!!). It was 2-3 days before I felt right. Nowadays, my heat tolerance really seems to have just gone away. I am 56 now and it has only really been an issue the last few years. Growing up in Texas I used to be out in the heat all day working and it never bothered me. Got out for a nice ride with my son and daughter this evening and it was 98 F and I mentioned to them how "cool" it felt! At least the guys in this vid are dealing with the insane humidity on top of the heat. That is what REALLY kills me.

    @rossjohnson2151 Год назад +1

    Looks like the southern 2 or 3 sections of the ORBDR are not worth riding. Boring looking desert with straight, dusty roads. And if you manage to find any water it'll be mosquito infested. I've heard of locked gates too with no warning so you can ride a long way before you find out you have to turn around.
    And the situation with no fuel is bad. What happens if you ride down from the north and get there and there's no fuel? You're stuck in the desert of Bumf*ck, Oregon unable to get the hell out? The start at the southern end seems odd too as it seems it's hard to get there and get an early start on the first section.
    What looks more appealing to me is the Pacific Crest Trail. Anybody have any experience riding it? Just seems like a better area to start. The desert just seems like an exercise in masochism, especially for the guys who have big bikes.
