Heck yeah! You are on the doorstep to so many great roads and trails not to mention, Sunny Sequim gives you the most days a year to ride! Hope to see you on the road!
Nice bike. I have 2005 r1200gs and live in SLC. Would love to do this trail someday. I do suggest no matter your skill level to always where gloves specially off road. Peace
maybe there is some exploring you can do locally - you never know what you will find when you leave the house excited to just see whats in store for you.
Hi Brad, This is a great video and very helpful in showing the technical challenges and road conditions to those who plan to explore the area. However, I'm having trouble orienting myself to your video, did you summit both Cinnamon and California Passes? Thx, Mark
yes, i believe my route was cinnamon pass, animas forks, California pass and finally corkscrew pass. my footage may not show this whole voyage, however. i filmed it before stabilizer was even a thing, lol. wishing you many miles of adventure my friend!!
@@perpetualmoto It looks amazing, and it's videos like yours that not only inspire others to make the trip, but also assess the trail challenges and gauge what is doable. I'm an older guy on a 900cc ADV bike and will most likely be tackling these passes solo on a cross country trip from Vermont.
You should always spray silicone underneath your bike to protect the frame and steel components from salt water. Otherwise your bike will start rusting within 24 hours !
@@TammyPerry i agree and i just bought an amazing gift just for her. will deliver in a few days. ill send u pics. she has always been so helpful to me, i think she will love this gift.
BRAD !!!!! - Dude, I was laughing my freakin ass off !!! - I'm like why is a toilet on my feed - Then I saw your name !!! Had to watch !!!! Your butthole will want it's 8 bucks back !!!!! Cheers !!!!
Did he fire six sprays or only five? Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a the White Monkey Guest House Bum Gun, the most powerful bum gun in the world and would blow your butthole clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
RT!! great to see you man - hope your Thanksgiving was splendid! The parallels between life and "the trail" are everpresent, sometimes you gotta roll before you think yourself out of it. Also, the Gopro did ZERO justice, lol...the beginning of the downhill was a straight-up cliff, hahahaha. Jay just thought I was a madman.
It looks like what you labled as the LaSal Mountains section after Kane Springs Canyon was really Arches National Park. Am I correct? Nice job getting thru Lockhart. Don't think I would have attempted that alone on a 1200 GS but kudos to you.
I'll take a look, you may be right. back then i didn't manage my recordings very well and sometimes the would get mixed up. since then i have a system. Thanks for the heads up! ADVON
First off, Thanks Brad for subscribing to my channel, but it certainly isn't nearly as entertaining as yours !!!! I really enjoyed this video, you certainly know how to get the most fun outta' a little Honda Trail. I had a Honda Trail 55 back in 1964 and ran the crap outta it. This summer I bought a 1972 Trail 90, but my 72 year old body isn't quite the same as it once was, so I'm just gonna be an ol' putt putt man. Keep the little Honda videos coming, I really enjoy them all. By the way, I'm from North Eastern Washington and that Magen is a trooper, my leg hurt just watching the wreck !!!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful message! I was in NE Washington earlier this year when we rode the BDR. These little bikes are just too much fun not to rip! The little bikes are great ways to train in more difficult terrain, less chance of getting hurt and those skills often translate to the bigger bikes as well. Great to hear you are still throwing a leg over the bike at 72! Looking forward to seeing more of your vids in my feed! ADV ON!
The mule vs. the fly weight goat.. I dropped my porky Himmi on a snow covered logging road. Slipping and sliding for about 20 mins trying to right it made me appreciate the lightweight ct90 even more. 😄
this is the age old question - when are u ready? test yourself in 3 ways; first unloaded then loaded 1. hillclimbs 2. sand 3. multi-day ride run a few iterations of those challenges starting with easy and work ur way to more difficult. The Utah BDR has short challenging sections and often there are work arounds. Go for it.
On trails/ dirt roads, the two bikes are comparable since the 110 is much lighter in weight. On road the 110 is lagging. On the steep, slick and tight climb sections, the 110 in low gears can climb on its own while the 125 normally needs a push. The 125 has extra power for sure, but that extra weight is noticeable. Still, both bikes are amazing and unstoppable. CT4Life Hope that helps.
@@Mikedenton541 also, dont forget, the 125 comes with a 12 volt charging system as well so that opens the door to using heated gear or charging ports...which the 6v system cant handle. the crf250 seems like an amazing machine for a small bike as well.
Thanks for watching! My newest video is the intro to the video where we actually make it through that road / trail. The full video will be one of the funniest videos on little bikes so far - gotta love riding the little bikes!
