My buddy Taz and I set off on an epic adventure, from Glenns Ferry ID, to Canada. This is the first day of riding. Tag along with us as we ride over 1k miles of back country roads and camp every night!
Word of wisdom…. When you encounter cows, slow way down. They are very unpredictable. A friend of mine had a cow jump in front of him on one of his big adventures rides about 1999 or 2000 and is destroyed his hip. He had to get all kinds of pins and rods to repair the damage.
Great video!!!! Really enjoyed watching it. Subscribed. Hope to see video from that x2 too in your future videos. I just leave mine running like a dash cam.
It was a total blast. I need to get the rest of the videos done. Just hard to find the time to sit down and edit right now. Thanks for consistently watching my videos and commenting. I appreciate it!
Hey look at that! Good to hear from you man! I’ve been slacking. I’ll get the rest out soon. Hopefully you were able to finish the BDR? Good meeting you out there.
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad ended up bailing at Avery due to the heat and multiple rear flats. Rear tire was cracking really bad too. Motoz ADV. Looking forward to the rest of the videos.
What a ride!! Glad you brought us along for sure! A+ videography man! That spot on the lake is where it's at! And even caught a fish! We gotta get out that way soon. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks man! I was honestly one of my favorite places I’ve ever camped. It was so beautiful everywhere you looked. And if I had longer to fish, I would have been able to catch so many more! It was a great time. Thanks for watching man!
What are you referring to with the audio? I just watched through it again and I didn’t notice anything wrong with it, what area of the video are you noticing something? And thanks! That camping area was amazing.
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad you’re right…my bad. Something was up with the refresh on my tv..kids must have switched it. I have 5g fiber so it’s never off and it through me off..haha
Love the sound on that 990 and the wonderful mountain scenery! That pay station looks very similar to the ones at the Norwegian backcountry roads.What a perfect day, riding and then after ride with fishing at a great camp spot. Living the life guys! For how long where you out on this ride?
Thanks for watching! And yep, nothing comes close to the sound of those 990’s I wish my 1290 sounded like that haha. And I think we were only out there for 4-5 days if I remember correctly, we had something happen that required us to end early. But that will be in the future videos.
Great video. I'm going to be doing the Idaho bdr in 2 weeks. My friend flaked so I'll be doing it solo. I'm going over gear and did you guys come across down trees blocking the trail? Thanks
I started around the 29th of July and I think we ended on the 2-3rd of august. I know that’s way shorter than the whole BDR takes, but you’ll have to watch the next videos to figure that part out lol. Thanks for watching!
From your other videos it seems like you live in the same ish general area of CA that i do. Did you guys trailer you bikes out , or ride from California? I'm doing this bdr next year. Thanks
Fantastic Job! Bikes look great images are great. Jealous as all get out! BTW, you guys are from the Sacramento area correct? Did you truck the bikes to a start point? If so, is someone meeting you in Canada and hauling the bikes back or is it 2 wheels from Sac to Canada and back? Looking forward to the your videos!
It was a pretty great trip. The scenery was absolutely stunning. And we’re somewhat near there. But we did truck the bikes to Boise and left from a friends house there. Then 2 wheels up and back down. Makes it a little easier especially considering the weather was soooo hot that whole time I was there. I was happy to be doing the drive from CA to ID in a truck. And thanks for watching! The new videos should be dropping soon.
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad Thanks for the insight of the logistics. One of the challenges for me doing the BDR is the lug from SoCal (OC) to a reasonable starting point, I cringe at the thought endless pavement just to get started! Looking forward to you continuing episodes. One last question, have you considered the "forever chain" for the 1290? Cheers. DR
May I ask what tires you are using? Also has the heat affected your phone screen? I plan on doing some riding out west next year. My brother has a home in SD I’m in PA.
I was running a Motoz Dual Venture front, and a tractionator adv rear. Fantastic pair honestly. I highly recommend it. And yes the heat was TERRIBLE on the phone screens. I will have a GPS for my next big trip. It was a big issue over the whole time.
Hey, so far the Motoz ADV has been great! Definitely quieter, and better on the pavement sections. Didn’t notice any lack of traction offroad either. So far I’m very pleased!
We both use Sena Headsets. They’re great. We have the lower end models so the range isn’t awesome, but we ride pretty close most of the time so it’s not an issue. Battery life is great on them as well. Can usually go a day and a half before they need a charge. Camera is a GoPro hero 8 for most of my videos with a media mod for the mic plug, the BDR video was a 10 though. Audio is a purple panda mic mounted inside my helmet. Actually works really well. Thanks for watching!
How is the KTM reliability with all the electronics? Going deep in the backcountry would make me nervous wondering about all the electronics added to the these newer bikes
I haven’t had any issues with reliability at all. The battery started to die on me at one point, but I put a lithium in and it’s been solid ever since! The only thing I’ve really heard of being an issue is the fuel pump. But I always carried a spare in my saddle bags. (They’re tiny and weigh hardly anything)
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad No, I heard the camera move, and then there seems to be a distinct wood knock. It even sounds different from the camera movement, although I could be totally wrong about this. Either way, it was an enjoyable video. Thanks!
How about your buddy ride on the right side of the road so he doesn't kill somebody? Always going around blind corners on the wrong side. Otherwise, excellent video!
I appreciate the concern, I assure you he’s being safe. I’ve already responded to some other comments about this, but he’s a trained, professional rider, who has been riding more years than I’ve been alive. I trust him to make the decision that he deems best for the riding conditions. The video doesn’t show the whole story and how far you can actually see. I appreciate you watching and hope you’ll stick around!
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad OK, I'll take your word for it. My wife rides too and I think she loves riding even more than I do so I hope you understand my concern. And you bet, I will stick around. Your videos are really easy to watch and very natural. We both enjoy them. Good job. Thanks!
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!😄
Your riding partner is pretty confident that no one will ever hit him, since he sure does like to ride left. And right beside you. Both bad ideas imho.
He has more years riding bikes professionally than years I’ve been alive. I trust him to ride safely and make decisions quickly. Would I recommend riding side by side with someone you don’t trust? Probably not. But I completely trust him, so I’m not too worried about it.
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad I hear you, and I'm not trying to be argumentative, but he sure does cut the blind corners while riding far left, which is unsettling to a new adventure rider like myself who's worst nightmare is running head-on into someone doing exactly that. Odds are pretty slim I know, but for a seasoned rider to be doing this is not good. That sure is some pretty country though and I look forward to riding it myself.
