RIP to the 300L.
I just had my CRF300l last week. for 8 months, I've been dreaming about this moment. you became a big factor on why a bought it. what a journey man! thank you!
If you're soooo determined to have a first place podium finisher that sucks gas like no tomorrow then by all means give this bike a miss. Get a KTM 690 but I'm buying a crf300 l rally for the right reasons. Here's why. In New Zealand our fuel prices are through the roof! I have two dirt bikes WR 450F , a KLX 300 but they're only dirt bikes and if I want an adrenaline rush I ride the WR but right now I want to whimsically point a bike in a direction and go wherever I want (within reason) on a modest adequate docile fuel sipper that allows me to chill and smell the roses affordably. I guess this video is purely based on circumstances.
Best of luck with the future bike you choose. Coming from someone that plans to buy a 300L Rally soon, if I was in your situation, selling the 300L for a dirt bike makes perfect sense. Why have the disadvantages of a duel sport when you dont need a duel sport? Its about getting the most out of your riding, not being part of a particular bike club. I need a duel sport because I plan to sell everything and live off my bike for a while traveling the country. This honda is the perfect bike for it. I wish they had a Honda 450L with the same street type engine as the 300L and not the high maintenance racing engine because this bike, including myself, will be carrying about 380lbs. Probably wont do much better than 65mph with that weight and I will need to get some heavy duty springs for the rear. As you have said in your videos several times, true words of wisdom, there is no perfect bike for everything.
I wanted to thank you for the DRZ400 Gripper Seat video. I ordered and installed myself - came-out perfect and looks amazing. I wish that you would have tried the DRZ400S Dual Sport instead of the CRF300L. I've upgraded the aesthetics on my DRZ400S and reduced the weight by 10-lbs. Now my DRZ400S looks amazing and rides like a flickable motocross bike. The suspension on the DRZ400S is already amazing. My DRZ400S has 11.5" of travel front and rear with 12" of ground clearance - these are motocross specs. A 400cc motor is the perfect dual sport motor size with enough speed and torque to work well on street and dirt. If I had access to an extensive trail system within driving distance to my house and a truck-trailer rig, I would probably get a motocross bike also. But I do enjoy riding my DRZ400 on the street.
You are right. I have done every mod possible. The power is fine and suspension is good now. The one thing you can never fix is the weight though. So I am using the CRF300l as an adventure bike and getting a enduro bike as a 2nd bike.
I felt the same about my 690 and kinda went through the same decisions and life realizations you did. Thought I'd be doing a lot more adventure type rides. Realized that with a house and wife and 2 dogs I do a lot more "truck it to the trailhead" than long rides. Ended up with a KTM 500 xc-w and I'm SO happy with that decision. Any canyon roads I'm on the 500 with are so much fun, and I just hate highway but it'll do it. But when you get off road the 500 is just absolutely amazing.
After having my Yamaha air cooled xt250 stolen, the 300 was my next choice. The xt was my first bike and i loved it. I love my Honda. Is it a better bike than the xt? Yes. Does it have as much character and charm? No. The Honda is a great bike, but the XT had such a charm to it.
I had a 250L, KTM 690, 300, and now a 500 XCFW. Honestly the 500 is more fun than the 300 out in the AZ desert. With a $300 tuner, the 500 never dies on me like your old 450l so don’t be afraid of the 500.
@@shane10141 based on your mainly street statement, I’d definitely go with the 690. Not only because it’s better on the street but also the service intervals.
If you're going to be riding slow technical stuff in the hot desert, I'd go with a W variant 300 2 stroke. The 4 strokes are going to run a lot hotter. The 4 strokes will be a lot better in the high speed stuff though, especially if you go with the stiffer suspended XC-F rather than the XCF-W. A good compromise might be a 300 XC for a 2 stroke with stiff suspension.
I loved my 250XCW and have rode plenty of 300's, like I said in the video I still need something somewhat street-able and I'd hate to burn up a top end on the highway. I still need the option to go the distance. Trust me I wish I could.
@@AdventureDaily I have the KLX 300 adjustable suspension, Love it!! I don't have $10,000 to spend on the Euro bikes, or $$$ for the added maintenance...
@@AdventureDaily I know a few guys that run all over the place with plated KTM300EXC 2T bikes. None of them have blown up. They run them on the streets as well as hours of gnarly single track around Austin, Utah, Colorado, NM etc. Sometimes they have the throttle pinned for an hour or two in the desert. They are really robust bikes.
And the truth shall set you free. Great video and it’s absolute reality… all of it, the good and the bad. Good stuff buddy. Looking forward to your future videos with your new bike.
i had an FE250 and it was excellent. I switched to 690 for a while and that was good, but more street oriented. I've finally settled on the 22 FE501s and its tractor. It has everything I needed right in the box except for tires. The stock tires are street models.
So, I know this page is pretty popular, but I honestly think that you and GPX MOTO could really benefit each other. Someone who produced the content you did for the CRFL lineup is exactly what GPX MOTO needs. I just purchased an FSE450L. They make a whole lineup of great bikes, from 2 strokes to 4 strokes. Seriously, look into them. Hope you read this. 😂
I'm with you 100 percent! I ride a 150 KTM -w and can't wait to see you and Lex and your dirt bike motley crew? I'm 30 miles north of Cincinnati. We ride Wayne and Perry .RMFR.
I was in the same boat. I'll fast forward through my story, I also prefer small bore bikes and I freaking love my fe350. Im very excited to see what's to come. I rode all over AZ on my rmz250 and now I'm in Washington on the husky.
My favorite videos are of you exploring urban areas on the 300. I was hoping you would come down to Portsmouth Ohio and do some urban exploring in the 300L. Crazy good spots down here. Wild town. PS-Drink when you hear “At the end of the day”………..
I’ve been watching you since the fooligan and grom boom, Jake the garden snake era almost 😂 I recently bought a 300L, thanks for the inspiration 🫡sad to see I can’t see any 300L content tho. Keep on keeping on man
I currently own a KTM 500 exc and 300 XC-W. I’ve also had a lot of seat time on the 350s that you’re thinking of getting too. All i want to say is the 250/300 xc-w are the best single track/off road bikes I’ve ever ridden. Just absolutely awesome for the gnarly stuff - light, clickable and just lugs like a tractor. My brother even sold his 350xc-f for a 250 xc-w and never looked back.
Gotta think about 20-22 on the exc's if you want the 500 to feel as light and nimble as the older 350's, from what I hear. I went through the same exact process, 300L to "it's not ideal for me out west in the tough stuff" to 350 or 500exc. Ultimately, I went with the 500 because I've found myself really liking the low end of it (for the slow stuff and hill climbs), and that the 350 would be buzzier (the ktms have vibes) whereas the 500 is gutteral and doesn't bug me vibration-wise in the same way, and because the 500 on the street is much more desirable. I plan on 5% street out West but that's still enough seat time at 65mph + that the 500 makes a difference I think. I also want to camp a lot and want the overall versatility of the 500. If I were just riding off road and always had the van nearby, I think I'd like the 350 more because apparently the newer ones feel super light (post 19).
You are the reason I got a CRF100F. I still have my CRF100F, it's my wheelie bike. I painted the rims black, and changed out the fork oil for some heavy duty fork oil. Honda no longer makes the CRF100F, which I'm sure you already know. I will never sell my Honda CRF100F Dirt Bike, nor my Suzuki DRZ400S Dual Sport - love both bikes.
I had a CRF100F from '06 until '20. Great little bike! I used mine exclusively for tight single track in the mountains of Colorado. I ended up selling it in 2020 and bought a new DRZ-125L as it's replacement. As much as I liked the CRF100, I'm liking this bike a lot more. It's just easier to ride, more comfortable with the longer suspension and has really good brakes, and more low end torque for climbing. Still super light, so if you get stuck on a root or a tight spot, just pick it up and lift it over. I've also owned a DR650 for many years as my dual sport. Taken a lot of long trips on that one, it's great fun. But, it's no good for single track, have to pick your trails carefully.
Like you I upgraded from a 250 to a new 300l last year and quite liked the bike ….but…I just could not keep up to my friends on more serious off road trails ,so recently got a husky fe350s …. and was blown away by how great they are.Super light, handle amazing , really really fun.
I've had a KTM EXC 350 several years ago now I currently have a 500. and my next bike will be at 350 again. Always nice to ride a small bike fast and a big bike slow.
love the videos man!!! keep up the awesome vids. love this format. sippin a beer while your chatting to the screen is a nice format for me to feel less guilty drinkin a beer alone :P
Looking forward to your adventures! I was looking into the CRF300L and the Rally when I found your channel, but I mostly follow adventures, dual sport, moto camping, backpacking, canoe camping, bushcraft. Bikes are just my newest interest. Keep doing what you love!
I'm in the same boat, don't really care for road riding anymore but the reason I keep my drz around is for the national forest rides around my area where yoy have to have a tag. But for everything else..... yz250x
They are nice to have and like I said if I had the room for multiple bikes I would definitely be keeping it so if I were you I'd hold on to the Dizzer.
If you havent bought a new bike yet, the 2022 KTM EXC-F 500 is worth it over the 350. My gf and I have both (myself on the 500 and her on the 350) and i can say the 500 is easiere to ride. It takes off much smoother and has a smoother power transition. The 350 is a little bronco in 1st gear and we actually had to find ways to "detune" it for her. I recommend you ride both, but i garuntee you wont be unsatisfied going with the larger bike.
500 is only about 3 or 4lbs heavier and can ride highway speeds much more comfortably at lower rpm than the 350. Also the 500 has tons of torque down low to mid where you'd be riding it. I was in your shoes and on the fence but do not regret getting the 500 at all. Whatever you decide both are great bikes just thought i'd throw in my two cents.
Totally understand with only being able to have one bike in the area you’re in, it just doesn’t make sense. You need a true off road bike where you are. For a beer to try, try a Red Oak. It’s in North Carolina. It’s a great go to beer.
Awesome video as always! I ride a 2 stroke Mx bike and love your channel regardless of what you’re riding, it’s all about the adventure. I just picked up my first street bike today… a 2008 WR250x. Keep the great videos coming!
Great video. Shows some wisdom by you not to put down bikes, but just state that they are just tools to be used and you’re looking for a different tool for your circumstance. I looked at that Husky 350, but I just didn’t want the high maintenance and I may do longer Dual Sport rides. But having 45 to 50 pounds less weight (compared to CRF300L and KLX300) on that Husky 350 sure sounds tempting.
loving the content...i'll be here to watch no matter what bike you ride. great editing and awesome locations..keep em coming "i'm an Ohiooooo boyyy" :)
I lost a old amazing friend that cared for me more than anyone ever named Yamaha xt250 and sold it for a garbage cb500x that wasnt a good friend usually and took my money when i was poor for rally raid parts. I wanted more power outa the xt. But all i had to do was big bore it and play with gears. But in reality she was perfect just the way she was the way God made her lol.
Honestly. You’re the reason I even bought a dual sport and started getting out riding again. I’ve always been an ATV guy (loved my raptors) but I decided to get a dual sport just so I could travel and get out more. From what I’ve heard about the 350s they’re definitely great bikes. However none of them will compare to the Alexis’ new RM-Z450 whenever you decide to show us 😂
That's awesome to hear and I'm glad you are out enjoying yourself! There is nothing like some two wheel therapy. You caught us! New banana boat coming soon🍌😂
They really are superior in many ways, pretty much everything but maintenance and I would argue road performance. Can't beat the street bike engine for that.
@@AdventureDaily well they say 500 mile oil changes, but I've come across quite a few guys going 1000+miles between oil changes. Maybe once I have 1k miles on mine I'll start seeing if I can extend it more.
Seems like you're leaning toward the Husky. 350 does seem like the sweet spot. Just to be different, how about one of the Yamaha wrs or yz250fx. Pretty sure Ohio is one of the states that makes it pretty easy to register and plate an off road bike.
I agonized for months over the fe350s vs. the fe501s and I went with the 500. After riding it for the past month, I regard going for the 500 as one of the best decisions of my life.
Good to see you get off that heavy dirt bike with no power 😜! Get yourself a two-stroke 250 or 300 do not do a motocross variant though if you are riding trails. Beta, Sherco, Husqvarna, KTM, gas gas, TM and Yamaha YZ 250X are all great bikes. Beta also has a 200 that is super light and fast!
whats funny is that when i tried to get a 300l i could not find one anywhere and the only place that had one was Freedom Power Sports but they want almost 8k for an out the the door price so instead i bought a used 2018 Suzuki RM-Z 250 which is a great bike so Tanner love ur vids with the 300l it had a good run but im excited to see whats next
I owned the 22' GPX FSE300R, just skip it, efi on the chinese bikes is not predictable, Delphi efi cuts fuel on decel,(like the stock crf450l) super lurchy/jerky throttle response. I played with mapping, could never get it right. I now own the 22 GPX FSE250E air cooled/carb bike, I like it better then the 300. IF you go gpx stick with carb model, but its no ktm. I have the 22 ktm 350xcf-w and riding the ktm back to back vs the gpx, its not even close. Not even considering the power difference, the ktm is twice the bike and then some. Thanks for the years of entertainment!
Just bought new CRF 300L in Feb. last friday my battery discharged over 2 days to 1,6V , keys were not in ignition and I have no idea why or what happend, after charging battery now works fine for a 5 days. I am worried that it will happen again. Hazards are not working when keys are not in position I. Do you have any idea what can be wrong?
Well I typically ride on my families farm land, we have some shelter belts and stuff. Western North Dakota is probably more what you want tho, Medora is out there and that’s pretty fun. But nothing compared to what you are used too
You Guys are hopeless Bike Hoppers. All good, all fun. Like the Guy that complained about Husky flameouts and short maintenance intervals, but now owns a Husky😆 We are waiting on the final video “why I gave up motorbikes and embraced golf carts”...
Thanks for the shout out, LMAO. Hope you got the Husky.....I've eaten Prickly Pear Cactus.....Its gross AF...don't try it ....It's literally slimy snot without any taste....despite it looking a bit tasty. Survivalist who say you can eat that shit.....are full of shit, LOL.
I can't wait to see the new bikes you and Alexis get! You have already put up enough crf300L content and I'm looking forward to the gnarly terrain you will be able to conquer!
@@AdventureDaily hahah I own a gpx fse 250 e !!! I have tons of videos!! I hate there community though!! There like a cult and only believe the gpx is the best bike out there 😂😂😂 there great for trail riding but when push hard is we’re you see there down falls!! For the money there not bad but parts in the future is what worries me!! I couldn’t even get a rear fender and tail light assembly from them for my 21.5 model that was less then a yr old as the bikes change some in 22!! They basically pull parts from bikes from what I was told so they don’t have a big parts department for the big bikes they sell!! There 2 stroke is definitely there best bike they have though and Iv ridden it!! They have a new 300 2 smoker coming but Iv heard they have lots of problems with them already over seas!! You take a big risk when buying a China bike!! And also resale your gonna lose big!!

It's been fun guys and gals but it's time to get back to the Jarvis days! RIP to the 300L.
How tall are you? What’s your inseam? How much do you weigh?
All factors in your next choice of bike.
I just had my CRF300l last week. for 8 months, I've been dreaming about this moment. you became a big factor on why a bought it. what a journey man! thank you!
Congrats I hope you love it!! It really is a great bike for what it was designed for.

I'm in the same boat! I love my Drz400s but want a mx bike for a second bike.
I had the SM model as you may know and while I do think they are fantastic bikes I am just a sucker for fuel injection and 6-speed transmissions lol.
Edward. Curious about your DRZ adjustment s
You are right. I have done every mod possible. The power is fine and suspension is good now. The one thing you can never fix is the weight though. So I am using the CRF300l as an adventure bike and getting a enduro bike as a 2nd bike.

Thanks Bill! Glad you can see where I'm coming from.
Next time you're back in Ohio, try boat show from yellow springs brewery. Based on previous comments I think you would really like it

Taken a lot of long trips on that one, it's great fun. But, it's no good for single track, have to pick your trails carefully.
The 100's are a blast, such a legendary platform. The DRZ as well, glad you are happy with them!
Like you I upgraded from a 250 to a new 300l last year and quite liked the bike ….but…I just could not keep up to my friends on more serious off road trails ,so recently got a husky fe350s …. and was blown away by how great they are.Super light, handle amazing , really really fun.
Something to be said about having the right tool for the job.
Yea sad to see the 300L go but your more of a strictly off-road rider so a dedicated trail bike is more in your wheelhouse
Glad you can understand where I’m coming from!!!
I've had a KTM EXC 350 several years ago now I currently have a 500. and my next bike will be at 350 again. Always nice to ride a small bike fast and a big bike slow.
love the videos man!!! keep up the awesome vids. love this format. sippin a beer while your chatting to the screen is a nice format for me to feel less guilty drinkin a beer alone :P
Weird didn’t get a noti for this video but I’m here 😂💚💪
YT is trying to keep us down!! We will rise😂
Looking forward to your adventures! I was looking into the CRF300L and the Rally when I found your channel, but I mostly follow adventures, dual sport, moto camping, backpacking, canoe camping, bushcraft. Bikes are just my newest interest. Keep doing what you love!
you're gonna love the fe350 man.
I'm in the same boat, don't really care for road riding anymore but the reason I keep my drz around is for the national forest rides around my area where yoy have to have a tag. But for everything else..... yz250x
They are nice to have and like I said if I had the room for multiple bikes I would definitely be keeping it so if I were you I'd hold on to the Dizzer.
I am 65 years old and the bike is perfect for me!
If you havent bought a new bike yet, the 2022 KTM EXC-F 500 is worth it over the 350. My gf and I have both (myself on the 500 and her on the 350) and i can say the 500 is easiere to ride. It takes off much smoother and has a smoother power transition. The 350 is a little bronco in 1st gear and we actually had to find ways to "detune" it for her. I recommend you ride both, but i garuntee you wont be unsatisfied going with the larger bike.
My 2022 450rl is doing pretty awesome on road and off love the suspension on it and plenty of power
They are great bikes! The motocross roots of the 450L are just a bit much for me.
haha I started watching you for grom offroad stuff lol 😆 loved that stuff!!! was really fun content 😌 👏
So jealous of you two. My mom moved to AZ recently. Been meaning to go out there. So many good places..
Wait till next winter and plan a trip haha! It's getting way too hot for us lol.
Bring on the Husky!!! Let's see it!!!!!
❤❤❤
500 is only about 3 or 4lbs heavier and can ride highway speeds much more comfortably at lower rpm than the 350. Also the 500 has tons of torque down low to mid where you'd be riding it. I was in your shoes and on the fence but do not regret getting the 500 at all. Whatever you decide both are great bikes just thought i'd throw in my two cents.
Totally understand with only being able to have one bike in the area you’re in, it just doesn’t make sense. You need a true off road bike where you are. For a beer to try, try a Red Oak. It’s in North Carolina. It’s a great go to beer.
Love the bikes a beer! Got to start doing that weekly again! Can't wait to see what bike you got now!
Awesome video as always! I ride a 2 stroke Mx bike and love your channel regardless of what you’re riding, it’s all about the adventure. I just picked up my first street bike today… a 2008 WR250x. Keep the great videos coming!
Great video. Shows some wisdom by you not to put down bikes, but just state that they are just tools to be used and you’re looking for a different tool for your circumstance. I looked at that Husky 350, but I just didn’t want the high maintenance and I may do longer Dual Sport rides. But having 45 to 50 pounds less weight (compared to CRF300L and KLX300) on that Husky 350 sure sounds tempting.
Liked the little hint in there😂
loving the content...i'll be here to watch no matter what bike you ride. great editing and awesome locations..keep em coming "i'm an Ohiooooo boyyy" :)
Much appreciated!🙏🏻 Some awesome adventures to come, glad to have you along on the journey.
ktm 250xc can’t go wrong! It might be the best ride it anywhere bike out there ! Track woods anywhere bike performs!!
They really are the best!!
I don’t understand how ppl just buy and sell their bikes so easily.
I would never be able to sell my friend.
I lost a old amazing friend that cared for me more than anyone ever named Yamaha xt250 and sold it for a garbage cb500x that wasnt a good friend usually and took my money when i was poor for rally raid parts. I wanted more power outa the xt. But all i had to do was big bore it and play with gears. But in reality she was perfect just the way she was the way God made her lol.
Can't wait for the new bike but iam here for the adventures love all your videos
Honestly. You’re the reason I even bought a dual sport and started getting out riding again. I’ve always been an ATV guy (loved my raptors) but I decided to get a dual sport just so I could travel and get out more. From what I’ve heard about the 350s they’re definitely great bikes. However none of them will compare to the Alexis’ new RM-Z450 whenever you decide to show us 😂
That's awesome to hear and I'm glad you are out enjoying yourself! There is nothing like some two wheel therapy. You caught us! New banana boat coming soon🍌😂
Bikes and beer I friggin love it. Great video love the content keep up the great work brotha!!!!
Thanks Jon, appreciate the support! 🤜🏼 Always a good combo!
6:47 very subtle Husky symbol to the right of Tanner's dome. FE 350 is the new bike.
🤫
That was pretty slick Tanner 😄
Nice one Tanner, see you on the next one.
Fair enough.thanks for the video's about the cfr
Enjoy. Try them all.
If you are a Honda guy seems like the XR650 would be a nobrainer. My KLX300 does great on the west coast chunk
I love those bikes but I have no need for the extra weight and street-ability.
My dual sport bike to travel with though is my Triumph Scrambler 1200xe lol
Haha that's awesome!
I dont wanna miss the reliability of a Honda...KTM and a Huski wont deliver me the same feeling of confidence at that point..
This is why I got a Fe501s vs getting a Kawasaki 300. would of ended up with same price at the end of the day.
They really are superior in many ways, pretty much everything but maintenance and I would argue road performance. Can't beat the street bike engine for that.
@@AdventureDaily well they say 500 mile oil changes, but I've come across quite a few guys going 1000+miles between oil changes. Maybe once I have 1k miles on mine I'll start seeing if I can extend it more.
Yeah bro, you are more into hardcore off-road than I am. I'm looking at Tuareg 660 or CB500x.
Seems like you're leaning toward the Husky. 350 does seem like the sweet spot. Just to be different, how about one of the Yamaha wrs or yz250fx. Pretty sure Ohio is one of the states that makes it pretty easy to register and plate an off road bike.
Tanner looks fitting in the group of les😂
I thought the same thing!😂
That's why I have a yz250 and a wr450 I couldn't decide lol
I agonized for months over the fe350s vs. the fe501s and I went with the 500. After riding it for the past month, I regard going for the 500 as one of the best decisions of my life.
Glad you made the right choice!!
Good to see you get off that heavy dirt bike with no power 😜! Get yourself a two-stroke 250 or 300 do not do a motocross variant though if you are riding trails. Beta, Sherco, Husqvarna, KTM, gas gas, TM and Yamaha YZ 250X are all great bikes. Beta also has a 200 that is super light and fast!
Why doesn’t Honda build a modern XR400, they would sell the heck out of them!!!
Agreed.. I wish they would put more time into developing bikes that riders want and not just what sells the most.
whats funny is that when i tried to get a 300l i could not find one anywhere and the only place that had one was Freedom Power Sports but they want almost 8k for an out the the door price so instead i bought a used 2018 Suzuki RM-Z 250 which is a great bike so Tanner love ur vids with the 300l it had a good run but im excited to see whats next
Glad you have been enjoying the RM-Z! That's a hefty markup glad you were happy with your purchase though. Can't wait to reveal the new toys!
I owned the 22' GPX FSE300R, just skip it, efi on the chinese bikes is not predictable, Delphi efi cuts fuel on decel,(like the stock crf450l) super lurchy/jerky throttle response. I played with mapping, could never get it right. I now own the 22 GPX FSE250E air cooled/carb bike, I like it better then the 300. IF you go gpx stick with carb model, but its no ktm. I have the 22 ktm 350xcf-w and riding the ktm back to back vs the gpx, its not even close. Not even considering the power difference, the ktm is twice the bike and then some. Thanks for the years of entertainment!
Hey Tanner, just picked up a crf250L. Think I could take the baffle out and not run an ejk or would you not recommend it?
Would it be possible for you to put out a video on selling?
It's too easy for me to buy a bike, but not sell.
Just bought new CRF 300L in Feb. last friday my battery discharged over 2 days to 1,6V , keys were not in ignition and I have no idea why or what happend, after charging battery now works fine for a 5 days. I am worried that it will happen again. Hazards are not working when keys are not in position I. Do you have any idea what can be wrong?
You should just mountain bike (as in bicycle) the gnarly with the Dog, Win / Win.
I’m here
ARRRRRGGGG M8ty
I seen that H . Its got to be a husky. I was hoping for maybe a 300 2 banger. But hey alggod whatever you get.
I LOVE my KTM 450 EXC. It's only 220lbs and lugs at a babies crawl speed without issue. If you have questions about it, shoot me a message.
If you make it out to North Dakota hit me up I’d love to go ride with you. I have a Crf250l.
I definitely will!! How are the trails up there?
Well I typically ride on my families farm land, we have some shelter belts and stuff. Western North Dakota is probably more what you want tho, Medora is out there and that’s pretty fun. But nothing compared to what you are used too
The KTM 690 4 stroke it the best. Ronnie Mac got a gasgas.
You Guys are hopeless Bike Hoppers. All good, all fun. Like the Guy that complained about Husky flameouts and short maintenance intervals, but now owns a Husky😆 We are waiting on the final video “why I gave up motorbikes and embraced golf carts”...
You never know! I did own a golf cart once....🤣
Can’t you pretty much register any dirt bike you desire to be street legal?
Everyone is getting rid of these things ,the safari type one too,why don't anyone say exactly why
YOU DO PODCASTS NOW!!!!
WE LIVE!!!!
New subscriber here. Nice video. Thanks.
Welcome to the channel! 👋🏻 Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the shout out, LMAO. Hope you got the Husky.....I've eaten Prickly Pear Cactus.....Its gross AF...don't try it ....It's literally slimy snot without any taste....despite it looking a bit tasty. Survivalist who say you can eat that shit.....are full of shit, LOL.
I was about to try the tacos the other day but I’ve heard the same thing haha!
Back to Colorado!!!!
I can't wait to see the new bikes you and Alexis get! You have already put up enough crf300L content and I'm looking forward to the gnarly terrain you will be able to conquer!
Thank you!! Can't wait for the adventures ahead, we appreciate your support!
Gotta try Moose Drool Beer 👍
Added to the list👊🏻
husky, ktm, gas gas.....you must really love wrenching on bikes
New channel name; “Change your oil daily”
I seen the Husqvarna symbol hahahha
😈
@@AdventureDaily hahah I own a gpx fse 250 e !!! I have tons of videos!! I hate there community though!! There like a cult and only believe the gpx is the best bike out there 😂😂😂 there great for trail riding but when push hard is we’re you see there down falls!! For the money there not bad but parts in the future is what worries me!! I couldn’t even get a rear fender and tail light assembly from them for my 21.5 model that was less then a yr old as the bikes change some in 22!! They basically pull parts from bikes from what I was told so they don’t have a big parts department for the big bikes they sell!! There 2 stroke is definitely there best bike they have though and Iv ridden it!! They have a new 300 2 smoker coming but Iv heard they have lots of problems with them already over seas!! You take a big risk when buying a China bike!! And also resale your gonna lose big!!
Is Arizona your home now?
How much did you get for her?!
Probably will still find ways to toss '300l' in the title to maintain the views lol.
I feel so betrayed....
KLX300R?
