      Hi! I loved the videos for Red Rocks to Mountain Tops as well as the Battleborn Nevada series you did. I’m trying to plan trips to do both of these rides but the link to the gps files isn’t working for either of them. Is there still a way to get these gpx files? Thanks in advance!!

    Even with all the internet research tools, good gear, and good bikes this is still a big undertaking. My pops used to do this kind of stuff back in the 60's on old Triumph's and BSA's with a fistful of paper maps.

    Watching this after a year stuck in quarantine in Europe, after years of travelling and living around the world. Managed to do a solo bike trip last summer from Italy to Nordkapp and down through Eastern Europe and stayed in Greece 1 month. But now back in lockdown. Watching these kinds of videos right now isn’t easy but I’m so grateful that you made them! Thank you!

    Utah is such a beautiful state. I was out there just a week ago around Northern Arizona and then around Moab at Arches National Park. I was with the family, so no bike to ride, but I want to get out there on two wheels and experience all that area has to offer. Was in Colorado as well. After finishing the Continental Divide through Colorado it definitely teased my appetite for that area. Gotta get back out there on my bike. Looks like a blast!

    • @stinkfinger
      @stinkfinger 4 года назад

      Just finished COBDR on my WR250R. Having a light bike was great, and only once was power a concern due to elevation- the steep switchbacks of Corkscrew Pass required first gear, full throttle, and a bit of clutch to keep from stalling. Lower gearing would have helped... mine is stock.

    I think you should do a multi day touring trip on the Honda CT125 ("Hunter Cub" I believe) once they are available and have some parts for modifying and selling. In some ways, they are designed nicely for light and economic adventuring. (rugged design for a motorbike/"scooter", comes with a huge rear rack, room for wider wheels and tires if you want, has a skid plate, and - gets extremely good fuel mileage - I believe over 150mpg is possible.)
    Bikes like these could bring people into ADV (and parts buying) who would otherwise not have done so -- some older guys, women, folks who feel too small/weak for big bikes, scooter nerds, efficiency lovers, nature lovers, hipsters, college kids who would buy a scooter for transportation, etc...

    Do you guys air down tires at all on this trip?

      Air up to avoid the flats!

      Yes. You don't want to be running max pressure on those trails. It is a fine balance, though, to avoid pinch flats when running fully loaded.

      I like lower pressure off-road. It is important to run rim locks and balance the tires. - Justin
