    Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don't go to plan. Stay tuned for EP 2 coming soon.

    I'm 72 years old and have a 2007 KLR 650 I ride with my 12.5 pound dog Jack. He rides standing on the gas tank which is covered with burlap. We mostly ride in the Daniel Boone NF. Your riding skills are Great! Mine are not so great. I enjoy watching your channel. I'm glad you're OK.

      That's awesome that you get out and ride with your dog and even better to still be getting out there at 72! Thanks on both accounts. 👊

    It doesn't get any better than ridding your bike on back roads looking at what the good lord created, sitting out at night listening to mother natures music by the camp fire and eating some good ole mystery meat from Family Dollar. Hell Yeah!!! That's life right there.

      @@TheBeardedGrump I have a stove like yours as well, but decided to try the stove with the remote canister. Game changer. Pots are no longer a foot above the table and if it is super cold out you can flip the canister over to get better flow to the burner. Got that from Fire Maple as well.

      I crashed on it just over 11 months ago and broke my back. The bike was damaged pretty badly so I sold it. I'm really liking the KTM 990 and Timmy still has his V-strom 1k so I'll always get to look at one lol.

  • @lastsonofkrypton36

    Looks like you had a good time and that's what matters. I will say that I think such big bikes make it more difficult ultimately. I think a 650 is plenty, and allows you to enjoy the off-road portions more. I feel like the big adventure bikes out there are mostly street tourers that have replaced Goldwings with "more adventurous" aesthetics.
    Nothing wrong with that either. I just think an XR650L or DR650 does the off-road stuff better and does the on-road stuff nicely. We're beginning to see manufacturers target the midsize market better w/ things like the CFMoto MT450, and updated Himalayan.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  Месяц назад

      We always have a good time. I have a lot of love for big adv bikes. When traveling to and from all the off road they just make riding more enjoyable. Especially when loaded down with camping gear.
