Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek via Old Stage & Gold Camp Roads
Join me on an incredible December 2024 journey from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek, navigating the historic Old Stage Road and Gold Camp Road. At an elevation of about 10,000 ft, this route offers breathtaking views and a trip through history.
Gold Camp Road, initially a connection between Cheyenne Mountain and Cripple Creek, faced a major setback in 1988 when Tunnel #3 collapsed, closing a significant section to vehicles. This road now connects through Old Stage Coach Road before rejoining the true Gold Camp Road. While it's not the most challenging 4x4 road, it serves as a gateway to Cripple Creek and other amazing trails. Once a Ute Indian Trail and then a rail line, this route is rich in history and natural beauty, especially in the fall with its stunning aspen groves.
Throughout the 26-mile journey, expect tight curves, low visibility areas, and a few washed-out sections-typical of summer's peak season. It was an extremely windy day, adding to the adventure. Apologies for the occasional audio issues and my arm getting tired from holding the camera. I hope you enjoy the ride and maybe even find it relaxing enough to help you fall asleep.
Filmed with a DJI Action 4 camera and navigated using OnX Offroad's offline map, this trip showcases the beauty of Colorado's mountains, often without any cell signal. My trusty 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X handled the journey like a champ.
Follow along and experience the scenic drive, and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures!

This is my dad's old bike, which you've seen in some of my other videos. Sadly, he passed away in 2021. My Street Bob was stolen in 2018, and now I'm living in Colorado Springs. It took me a while to get my dad's old bike roadworthy, registered, and insured. Our family was focused on coping with Dad's loss. I also went through a divorce in the time since my last post. I finally got Dad's bike r...

Burly 10.5" Slammer Shock on 2016 Dyna FXDB
มุมมอง 10K8 ปีที่แล้ว
I installed a set of Burly Slammers on my Street Bob. It went from 12" to 10.5" and the difference is significant. I did the installation on my own with my own basic hand tools. I am keeping the old shocks for now. It rides well with just myself but if I ever get a GF who wants to ride back there it may be a problem. I'm in no danger of that for now. This is my third bike, and is by far the eas...

The upgraded t-bars, grips, clutch/brake handles, and fairing were d...

Tree Falls Into Street
มุมมอง 9911 ปีที่แล้ว
Neighbors cutting down a dead pine tree. They used a truck to pull out away from the house and into the street. The neighborhood came together to direct traffic and prevent it falling onto a car. I was kinda hoping a car would get crushed honestly, oh well. Main reason I pulled out the camera. We helped clear it off the street afterwards.

    Actually, the clearance between the belt guard, and drivebelt, should remain equidistant throughout the suspension travel.

    The H-D fairing, is that the standard windshield on the quarter or did you add to the quarter? I like it a lot but was wondering if it’s an additional piece. I was thinking of doing the complete Slammer kit to mine.

      Randall Collins unfortunately I don’t have the bike anymore. I really loved it. It was stolen from storage last year while I was overseas. Any way I believe you are asking about the little tinted window insert. I got it from Laminar LLC Email: ops@laminarllc.com Phone: +1.714.540.8006. Item#: H1151S. Bnb

    Good job boss. Do the shocks come with the hardware or did you have to purchase a separate kit for the install? I'm getting some for my '14

    • @ThunderMilflin
      @ThunderMilflin 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No kit required. Use the existing hardware.

  • @ThunderMilflin
    @ThunderMilflin 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    @kotipelto, it didn't actually hit after the installation but a bump would definitely cause it to.

    Im seriously considering doing this on my 16' FXDB and I agree with wanting to put the belt guard back on, did you ever find a way to put it back on without having to cut a notch in it?

  • @nickmarzella7808
    @nickmarzella7808 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    its not about lowering the bike, it's about filling in that huge empty space in the rear fender. Now it doesn't look so much like a dirt bike fender.

      MrGPAS211 I am with you on the lingo. You are way ahead of me if you know how to work on these things. I can ride them, I can't work on them. My knowledge only comes from asking questions when I'm at the dealership.

    • @ThunderMilflin
      @ThunderMilflin 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      xbeautifuldiscordx That was a critical error! Well the main upgrade was the Vance and Hines short shots with the "quiet baffles" that aren't quiet at all. I'm sure my neighbors would agree when I start it up in the morning to go to work. Second is a Vance and Hines grenade air cleaner, and the efi tuner Vance and Hines "fuel pack".
