Makes sense with the mica we saw. Thank you for the info about the mine

Yes, the sign (on the way from the Willow Springs camping area just past the Dinosaur Tracks spot, a few miles before the "high clearance 4X4's only" sign which is one mile before Balance Rock) is a little vague, not unlike the Utah State OHV website regarding Dual Sport machines. The connector section you refer to is trying to say that true street legal machines from the factory like dual sport machines are legal, but if you have plated, for example, a side by side or your YZ250 for the street - that would not be allowed. That's because the manufacturer has designated the machine to be an OHV. Many jurisdictions allow SXS's and quads to be operated on the street - just not on this portion of the trail. I don't understand the reason for that restriction, but so be it. Thank you for watching and for your query.

any and only plated vehicles are permitted

@@jamescox4823 The sign at the west entrance ( 38.701597, -109.635059 ) reads "All types of Off Highway Vehicles including registered street legal Are Prohibited". This sign can be seen on Google maps street view. I had some head scratching moments here and concluded this: Though Mrs Piston's quad is plated and insured, it is an Off Highway Vehicle, so would not be permitted here. My 350EXC-F is a fully street legal Motorcycle as designated by the manufacturer, not an OHV like their similar EXC model is. A street Motorcycle would be every bit as legal on that road/trail as the Google photo vehicle. I think we can agree that the sign wording and intent is vague. Thank you for weighing in.

I went on my CRF250L (plated, street legal) and passed on challenging the reg. It even said "motorcycles," so I didn't feel like getting into an interpretation of the reg with a ranger solo on the trail. But, perhaps it probably is OK for a plated bike. Something I plan on clarifying next time I'm in Moab. Nice video, brings back great memories camping there earlier this year.

Will do, thank you

Yes always good to get out riding with wife Piston. A great area to ride. We will be back. Thank you for watching.

@RossScarborough-v5n thank you. I need to do an updated version with a piece of angle iron, something everyone would be able scrounge up in their neighborhood. Thank you for watching

It is always great to share the trails with someone you love! Thank you for watching.

@ChrisBeckPortableLogMill that sounds like a harrowing journey to escape the fire. Glad you made it through despite the flats. Thank you for watching and for your comment

@KevinRadford-w9l hi, thank you for watching and thank you for your comment. It's always good to see that someone is getting something out of the videos whether it is entertainment, or a chance to see what other riding areas have to offer. Contact me if you are planning to come this way with your bike and let's ride!

Thank you, we had about 2 hours of riding footage, every bit of it as good as in the final edit. It's always tough to decide what to keep. It just goes to show that the single track here is truly world class. Well laid out with great varying terrain. Thank you for watching

@GG_TOOL thank you for watching. I should do an update on this video. You can use a piece of angle iron the same length of the retainer diameter. Someone in your neighborhood will have a piece that you can cut of a few inches

@@thesuperfunkomatic yes, a good ride. Always try to make all rides good. Thank you for watching and making the ride great. Stay funky !

You are welcome. It's what dirt riders do. Yes a tricky predicament for sure. Fortunately no one was injured, no major bike damage and the phone was found. Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching and for the praise. The volunteers were numerous and great ambassadors for the sport. It was a fun ride.

Sure did have a great time, thank you Shawn and thank you for watching

Spectacular view for sure. Thank you for confirming which lakes they are. Thank you for watching

Thank you and thanks for watching. I had the most trouble coming back down the hills. Short legs trying to swing over the seat with the bike pointed downhill. All good stuff, no broken bikes, no injuries.

Thank you Brandt. Hopefully you are enjoying my videos as much as I enjoy yours. As an aging off road enthusiast, I am thankful for every chance I get. Maybe if you watch the video 9 thousand tines, I can get it to 10k!! Thanks again

Yes, you cannot go wrong with a 300cc or less 2 stroke bike. Enduro or trials, they each have their strengths and weaknesses. Guaranteed fun no matter what. Thank you for watching.

Up to no good for sure. Just a fun, clear out the cobwebs ride

I stayed at the Fairfield Inn which is right where the event starts. Pricey, but there are other less expensive alternatives nearby. A few years ago we were riding in fresh wet snow in the higher elevations, and even on the warmer days it is quite chilly in the morning til around 11. Definitely bring a jacket that can be easily packed away when it warms up. Hope to see you there, it is a great event. Thank you for watching.

Hello to you in the buffalo province. Check out the map of the Revelstoke trails at: revyriders.ca/trail-map This video is mostly of the Ego Trip trail and Smooth Operator trail. If you are looking for an excuse to spend some summer time in BC, make sure to hit me up for a ride. I can at least steer you to the good stuff. There is some great single track in the North Okanagan. Thank you for watching

If I ever have the throttle body out, I may do that. Hopefully someone else has done such a video.

Thank you for watching. I thought that I would make this video on the TPS, as I have run across many automotive TPS's that have worn and do not track smoothly.

That's Tom Wolfman Webb and yes he did have a head of hair. Heck of a nice guy. Thanks for watching. Would love for Ping to get him on the Whiskey Throttle Show.

Thank you for watching, and thank you for your comments. If you haven't already checked it out, please see the Single Track Heaven/Fun in the Deep Woods ride on the 350 excf. There is no perfect all around bike, but the drz was perfect for the Touratech Rally, and the excf is perfect for gnarlier single track.

Indeed. I recommend that you borrow a small dirt bike first (100 - 200cc) just to get the feel of a heavier self propelled machine. If you are having fun, then you can try a small Dual Sport bike. If you check out some of my other vids (like Fun in the Deep Woods) with the KTM350 EXC-F, you will see that it rivals a true state of the art dirt bike. it is on the lightest and best suspended side of the DS offerings. My old DR650S was barely POSSIBLE for me to pick up by myself, but the DRZ400 is much lighter and the KTM is much lighter yet. The bigger ADV bikes have their place but I am not comfortable with their bulk. Thank you for watching, and I hope you find dirt/ADV riding a rewarding experience.

@@bustapiston2170 Since I'm on the smaller side at 5'4", I'm looking at the XT250 and the KLX 300.

Luckily there are lots of videos and info on those units. Email me if you want to run any ideas by me.
