Through Snow, Ice, Mud and water crossings, running on fumes the Mighty XR650L claws its way to the top of the scenic Bradshaw Mountains, in Arizona before darkness falls. The XR650L IS a true Race-Bred Dual Sport machine.

I've only had my XR650l for less than 2weeks and have already enjoyed many trips thru the mountains. At 42 years old this kind of riding is way more my speed these days

What an epic adventure VW! The collection of amazing places you encountered was beautiful. That snow and ice in the woods looked pretty sketchy! The ranch with the water wheel and the bridge were awesome. You really showed all what is out there if we just go look. Beautiful video Brother!! Cheers!

Thank You DOC650x2, it was a great day, I really had no destination in mind when I headed out for a late breakfast. I just wanted out of the city. The patches of snow and ice were interesting. I would do that ride again if only to grab a subway sandwich and sit my big rear under that tree and watch the water wheel go around and around. It was that awesome. Cheers brother.

That was a beautiful ride, Definitely have to take a drive back there. I love that little bridge, That waterwheel was cool too. Somebody has a nice self sufficient set up back there. Too bad about the gas but I’m sure you made it out of there. Hey thanks for taking me along. I really enjoyed this one.

I would recommend a trip there; it was so pristine. It's amazing what you come across on these rides. I felt important, MJ's opened up the store and filled the XR's tank. (Tip ... always carry cash) I bought 1.8 gal a coke and gleefully gave him a $20 said Thank You, keep the change and headed for home.

That would be great in the truck too ... let me know I'd do my best to meet you there and buy you a Cheeseburger. It's a beautiful ride. there is an easier way up on the east side of the mountain. Even the Fed Ex guy can do it. My first time there was in the 70's from lake Pleasant, we were both on Suzuki TS250 enduros. Mine a 1972, and my friends a 1973. This was a first for me and the red potato to come up from the other side. Take care amigo!

Arizona never ceases to amaze me. What a gorgeous area. If camping is allowed, that would be the place for OBI to check out for his moto camping trip. I’ve enjoyed every place that you’ve shared with us on your travels, but this is the best one yet in my opinion! THANK YOU!!!

This ride was stunning and took me by surprise, it's crazy what is right in your back yard if you get off the couch and go look. The XR was a joy, and the gas issue is resolved. Take care Amigo.

I have been doing some research on a couple historical sites up there. When you went through Minnehaha that a lady used to sell handmade jewelry out of there and the post office across the road was still standing about 20 years ago. I like this as an alternate route back from CK. At the hanging tree there is a route back to Lake Pleasant.

AZDD, thank you for the comment. Those mountains are filled with Arizona history. I always enjoy the way you dig into the past history on your motorcycle adventures. You are quite knowledgeable about the state. I will try it your way next time, coming up from Bumble Bee and down through Wagoner Rd to the 89 then home. I did see the (Lake Pleasent) LP painted on the rock for directions. Signage isn't the best on those roads. We are blessed to live here in AZ.

The wind mill & water tank - ridiculously cool. You are WAY braver than I am - I don't like snow or ice on 2 wheels. Just a beautiful ride Dave - Absolutely beautiful !!! Wonderful job and video. Thank you so much for sharing your trip !!!! Been there many times. Love the little "GENERAL STORE" too !!!

MKG650! Always great to hear from you, great to touch bases on IG every now and then. You have a long cold season for sure, I remember my days in Redmond, hunkered down inside. Now through May is great riding, but still, some "ok" days in the summer if you head North to the mountains. I would like to get out there on the Vstrom if only to ride the McKenzie Highway and head off to the coast. The XR650 is a great machine.
