Rode my KLR seven hundred + miles from So.Utah to Butte Montana in one day. When I got home I lowered the front 1" and the rear 2 1/2 " plus put a sheepskin wool pad on the seat. Helped a lot!
We just ran across your channel due to you riding a KLR 650. My first off road bike is a 2015 KLR. Love this bike. More than I need at 59 years old. Now we watch hours and hours of ADV riding videos and have to say, this video is outstanding. You have a way of telling a story and kept us entertained throughout the entire episode. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next two episodes. If you find yourself in Southern Oregon, let’s ride
Thank you very much for commenting I appreciate the compliments The rest of this series is up on the channel if you want to watch it I will definitely have to let you know if I'm in your area👍
I did this exact same route a year prior to you on my 2022 KLR 650. Extremely fun and gorgeous ride. Same creek crossing was my biggest concern but was very doable.
Loved the river crossing song, I was singing right along with you. I was like come on you can do it! It's adventure riding, that"s what makes it great. Great video.
Been looking for some quality BDR footage of the northern part of the Utah route, and stumbled on your video. Nice work bro! Looking forward to watching a lot more of your vids. I was able to see a lot more of the terrain with your stuff. The guys that go South to North seem to be burned out on filming once they get past Green River. Anyway, keep up the good work. Maybe I'll run into you out there some time!
I leave my bike loaded all the time everywhere i go.i do this to get used to riding it heavy for when i get into sketchy roads/trails im not uneasy or suprised by the additional weight.
I really enjoyed your video, great roads, really well put together. I like knowing the riders thoughts as you come across challenges. Can you advise me how to get a gpx of your route..Looking forward to more vids..
Thanks for sharing. We living in Logan Utah and want to do this route this summer. Do you see any issues with wanting to do this on a RZR 4 seater? It seems like all the trails shown in your videos are more than wide enough.
Yeah the route is also made for 4 wheeled vehicles so no single track. You could do it in a Jeep if you wanted to. There are a couple highway sections That might be a problem.
@@brandmanstorys9216 Thanks for the quick reply. What time of year did you do this? I am trying to get an idea of how cold/hot it will be. I imagine the higher elevations can get quite chilly, but I dont want to pack snow clothes for everyone if its not necessary.
Heard about you via Meerkat ADV as he was traveling from south to north and said you encountered snow. What time of year did you make this trek? Beautiful scenery there! And congratulations on the stream crossings.
@jimpozzi4723 It depends on the year if you're thinking of doing it this year. We've had a very dry winter. The year I did.the BDR we had pretty extreme snow
@@brandmanstorys9216 I’m game for some local stuff. I’m in Utah County. Have a co-worker picking his first KLR. Anxious to put some miles on when the weather breaks.
Heck yeah sounds like fun. I just replaced the clutch on my Klr in preparation for this summer. So keep me posted and let me know when you're able to go.
@@brandmanstorys9216 Do you have a contact option for your channel so we can email etc? Rode a lot last summer locally from Lehi to Heber and up around Strawberry Res. Lots to explore in our own backyard.
Nice ride. When did you do the trip, if I may ask? I was originally planning to do Idaho BDR starting on Aug 25th, but am now thinking of doing Utah BDR instead, given the road work in Idaho. Any thoughts on the weather and road conditions in end of Aug-Sep?
