You made it a little over halfway to Harris Park. The bad news is that if you had kept pushing on, you would have eventually run into where the trail was closed a couple of miles before you got there. The flood of the S. Fork of the Walla Walla River took out the trail in 2020 and they haven't rebuilt it yet. It's unfortunate, because it was a beautiful trail following the river down to Harris Park. Still plenty to explore up there. Get the Avenza App for your phone (free) or OnXOffroad (subscription). it will geolocate you on all the trails in the area. I've got videos of several of the trails in that area on my channel. I have a playlist for NE Oregon that would let you explore the area a little visually. Here's the trail you ended up on. It starts at the bridge you crossed and takes you up to a plane crash site at the top of the mountain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-00my79d1O-g.htmlsi=4ayQzUtkymoSfOol
I’m thinking about letting my old 96 XR400R sit pretty, I’ve heard nothing about complaints about 450X’s and L’s, how do you like the yamaha compared to the XR ?
We must have been tracking pretty close to each other because I passed that guy in the red, helmet off at 3:49 on the right as well. Nice work! It was so much gnarlier than I could have imagined. 😅
Poor video , all you see is the handle bar view of the bike. I'm tired of seeing videos like this. I'd rather see the bike profile and shots of the bike in action not from the handle bars.
I'm getting back into better physical shape, I did shave 35 minutes off my time from last year. I'm mostly doing the race to have fun and finish, and not kill myself.
@@morganeast3403 I'll be in Havasu in a few days visiting but no riding. I still have snow where I live, but I do ride a lot, mostly old roads and some trails. I have a hard time with all the miles and miles of whoops at Odessa.
I have a 98 XR400 Piped, jetted, and uncorked. I still have yet to rebuild it. It's blowing a little smoke on start up and when I've been lugging it through some tight areas. But, it's usually lugged for about 30 mins in those areas. Then get back out to a mainline and crack it open to blow it all out. Never a rebuild on it. Then there's the 02 XR400. Factory stock everything. I bought it about a year ago the, Original owner had an HR meter on it when brand new( know it was brand new because i installed it) and there are 98 hours on it. Basically...You'll very rarely need a rebuild if you keep on top of your oil intervals and run NON-ethanol. Lastly, if you bought one and know NOTHING about its history, two things to do immediately, compression test, and see the health of the engine. and then drop the oil and oil filter. all super ea....ok taking out the spark plug is fun. haha MAKE SURE TO BLOW THE SPARK PLUG RECESS OUT BEFORE TAKING THE PLUG OUT! USE a long pick to dislodge the debris then blow it out with the air compressor. Wow...that list was all over the place. Sorry about that. As you think something through, you remember things that help and deter from future issues. I hope this helped.
I got the XR400R because of the nostalgia, air cooled carbonated, kick start only, it's super cool. Nice smooth power and predictable. I love that bike. I also love the WR450F, it rides like a rocket ship, even thought it's a 2007. I know newer bikes have 10 to 15 more horsepower, I don't know what I would do with that much, I never use all the ponies in the 07. I guess it comes down to what you want to do with a bike. The 450 wears me out quicker on single track for sure.
@@chrisfic I've had several wr450s and i'm currently riding an 01 XR400 that is street legal. Gotta love the linear power of the XR and doubt i'll ever sell it. I've been considering picking up another WR450 or CRF450X to add to the fleet if I can find one that is street legal.
I had a 2000 XR and did the Öhlins upgrade on the suspension. I still kick myself for selling that bike. Yamaha knocked it out of the park with the WR 450, then Honda answers with the underpowered weak suspension CRF300L and the anemic CRF450.
Really surprised that Beaker didn't break having it straight onto the heat Source like that, I know that it's Pyrex but even then you should still use a double boiler or have something like sand in between that's my opinion though
Cool but the coffee will probably br under extracted. Proper syphon coffee makers allow you to brew the coffee for however long you want and then pump back. I assume this would be like using a French press and plunge as soon as you put the water in. Would be interesting to use a refractometer to see extraction and strength. That said at the oend of the day if you enjoyed the coffee who the hell cares
+Dana Tran I got my flask and stopper from this site www.hometrainingtools.com/erlenmeyer-flask-250-ml-pyrex I think the copper tubing is 3/16 outside diameter. The loop in the tubing is there because I did not know how much tubing to use and instead of cutting it shorter I just put the loop in to keep the two containers closer together. Using a thin hacksaw I cut one end of the tubing down about 1/2 inch, then turning the tubing a quarter turn I cut it again the same amount then bent the four 1/2 inch ends out 90 degrees, like a cross or plus sign. I used a piece of sandpaper to smooth the edges so they were not so sharp. I found a key ring the right side because it seemed like the ends of the tubing would work their way through the filter without some support. Trace around something round on a piece of t-shirt material and cut out. Tie it around the end of the tubing to make a filter and you a;re ready to vacuum syphon some really good coffee. I am trying to post some pictures but not having any luck, bummer.
