Interesting landscape and tunnels are always cool. Thanks for the route information. Just about any journey beyond my day-to-day routine is and adventure for me. The motorcycle makes it special.
Some mean but beautiful landscape out there. Looked up the location of Big Bend and didn't realize it was right up to the border. Mighty chilly there today. 28-15 degrees. How's the 1000 running? Mines in the garage on a tender. I don't mind riding in real cold weather, but even if I ride 40-50 miles, my bikes don't warm up sufficiently to burn off the moisture in the engine and always find lightly milky colored oil. Hate it. My DR650 had lots of moisture and took 4 oil changes to get rid of it. Anyways, good video and enjoy your rides.
@@FrankBonessa it's cold in Texas. I hear Houston got some snow. My bike is sadly waiting for me in the garage. I can go out in 30+ degree weather but I don't want to. Engine temp is a concern. I was running between 170-180 with an ambient temperature of 45. Lower than that and I think that my engine will also start to produce mayonnaise.
@@FullThrottleExistentialist Funny, 3 years ago, I bought a new Z900 in February here and rode it home. It was 28 degrees F. Probably the coldest I've ridden in. Once you figure in the wind chill and you're in the single digits. The Z runs rather warm, so no mayo. Good term. The 1000 gt runs even hotter. The fan kicks on at 221 F. The Z around 213. Should have them both flashed so in summer the fan kicks on earlier. Did a little research and for every 1 gallon of fuel burned, 1 gallon of moisture is created in the combustion process and it takes some real heat to burn it off.
Yikes! 28F with windmill is a definite NO! Mine is tuned. Now, in the Summer, the fan kicks on even when it's off!!! (Joke - gets that hot here in Texas 😂)
@@FullThrottleExistentialist That's why it's one of the best places to ride in winter. Idaho is over rated for riding. Limited amount of paved state or fed. highways to ride on. Freezin' or fryin' Even dirt roads ain't that great. Cali. may suck population wise, but for sure a rider's paradise. If you ever noticed, back a while ago all motorcycle publications were centered in SOCAL. The song "It never rains in Southern California" wasn't too far off. Excellent.
@@FrankBonessa Cali did have some phenomenal roads. I agree. San Diego had the nicest continuous weather I have ever experienced. It's unreal, actually. I believe I spent two months in San Diego county and I experienced just about the same weather throughout that time!
That's fair. I'm sure you can find a few of my videos that can attest to the legitimacy of my title 😂 Some roads are for carving and others are for cruising. I've got a few ideas for some sporty videos in the near future.

It’s great to hear that you appreciate the route, especially the tunnels! Big Bend truly does have some unique landscape features.

Nice scenery, but you're not living up to your name. I didn't see "full throttle" whatsoever.
That's fair. I'm sure you can find a few of my videos that can attest to the legitimacy of my title 😂
