Trans America Trail, Day 20, Colorado Mountain Passes 

Thanks, I was just trying not to look down 😂

@@BillyTyo What he said. I've watched a lot of Black Bear Pass videos, and that's the fastest I've ever seen anyone attack "the steps". Most stop, check things out, take pics, etc., but you guys just bombed the way down!!! :-) Well done.

@@waltermitty7452 thanks, we just went for it. It was a bit sketchy but thankfully we made it down safely. I stalled my bike about half way down and had the extra fun of trying to get it restarted during the descent 😂

@@BillyTyo Three buddies and I were out in Colorado in late August, lived about 8 days off the bike...all hotels. We rode lots of passes, but there are still lots more to do....so we have a reason to go back. In addition to more Colorado riding, I dream of doing the TAT one day, so all the time and effort you guys put into making these videos is really appreciated.

That was a WILD day!!

We were determined to keep going

Thanks! The CO passes were probably the best day on the TAT, such fun riding and amazing views. You are correct, it doesn’t get better than that.

It really was beautiful. We are hitting canyon lands into Moab today

Thanks! It was nice meeting you guys. We had a great trip, Colorado and Utah were amazing

Glad you were able to get back on the road, and good to met you! Have you had any more problems? We’re in Utah now but will remember for future use 🤙

@@jacobtyo7805 No more problems; just seems to be idling low. From what've read on 'ThumperTalk: The screw is the minimum air flow screw. A baseline of sorts. The valve is what controls the extra airflow need to reach the correct idle speed. It is set below idle speed to reduce emissions and conserve fuel on decel. As the engine rpm gets close to the idle rpm the adds air as needed. The reason the adjuster has white paint on it is because adjusting it is an federal emissions violation and may cause grief at the dealer too. (It looks and flows the same as some partially dried up Testor model paint). 😉 It is set by the factory to allow a specfic amount air flow. Adjusting the screw slightly should help solve the stalling problem, but the sensor should be adjusted and reset.'

Going to the dealer in a week anyways, will ask them. After that, the warranty expires soon/will then mess with screw if needed ;) Have an awesome time in MOAB! It's another world... find some dino prints!

I love engine braking/probably my issue there?

@@MrMrMckinley gotcha, we have had the issue with ours where it will stall at like 35 mph (when in 6th gear lugging hard) but that’s easy to avoid. Good luck!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It was a great trip. We are working on more videos that will detail parts of the trail that were the most interesting

@@BillyTyo look forward to seeing it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Those spots were certainly sketchy, it didn’t feel so dangerous while we were riding it, watching the GoPro videos was the scariest part

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. That was a crazy day!

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it, ride on!

Thank you!

Thanks, it is a great trip. I think the L is the perfect bike, as long as you can stand some pavement pounding in the east

Wow, that sounds quite a trip!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks, that was an amazing day.

Thanks! It’s a great adventure

Yep, the rubber teather was on

Not sure why it was there, maybe they were using it to repair the mud slides

Awesome thank you!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, we are currently working on some videos that will go into more detail on some of the more interesting days. Black Bear was one of the most difficult and sketchy sections for sure, but I think Imogene was the most fun. How do you like your L?

@@BillyTyo the 300L is probably the most fun that I have ever had on a motorcycle. The weight, gearing and clearance make it so you can just enjoy the ride and not sweat what the bike will or will not do. I am nowhere near yall's league as a rider so having a blke that makes this easy is very enjoyable.

That was a CRAZY day!!

That sounds like a fun trip. It was nice to have fuel injection in the mountains. The Rockies really are awesome, they kicked us around also.

I would set up base camp and explore

Pretty decent, we’ll do a review of them at the end of the trip

We are running 20 pounds of pressure, no rim locks

@@BillyTyo Thank you for the reply, yes 20 lb is a lot when it comes to traction and handling or lack of on rocks and yet I realize you are roading them as well. An Englishman I knew who was into trials riding when he was younger, about 5 pounds is what he commented was running back then but it was on a light trials bike too, that would guarantee you a flat and a bent rim on your bike !

@@charlesb4267 yep, would rather run 15 pounds or so on this bike, but have to keep the pressure up a bit for this trip
