COLORADO: SOLO ride from GATEWAY to OURAY and my first MOTORCYCLE SERVICE

  • A motorcycle ride through Colorado, from Gateway over Naturita, Norwood, Ridgeway, Montrose to Ouray - including a desperate search for a motorcycle workshop!
    Due to the accident on the White Rim trail the ways of my little travel group split up much earlier than expected - and I was back on the road solo to continue my journey across the USA all the way to Miami.
    The ride from Gateway to the town Naturita on Highway 141took me through the Dolores river canyon for most of the way, and followed the Dolores and San Miguel rivers with its smooth sandstone walls and roaring waters. I was traveling on the so called Unaweek Tabuach Unaweep Tabeguache Scenic Byway.
    The scenery for the first time since leaving from Los Angeles changed completely. Instead of burning heat the sky was covered with clouds, temperature dropped to 20 degrees celsius, and in the distance I saw the snow capped Rocky Mountains appear - my destination for this day! But first I had to master another challenge: I had to find a motorcycle workshop.
    Watch the episode to find out why my Tenere needed an inspection so urgently - and to join the ride through Colorado from Ridgeway to the famous town Ouray - a hub for some of Colorados best roads!
    // A roadtrip that dreams are made of: join my journey through the United States of America. From Los Angeles in California on the westcoast to Miami in Florida on the eastcoast.
    9,000 kilometers,
    13 states,
    28 days,
    1 motorcycle
    // NEW EPISODE OUT EVERY THURSDAY 19:30 CET
    // Time of the journey: May-June 2021
    // Welcome to the journey! I am Lea Rieck, a journalist and author and I want to take you with me on a motorcycle overlanding adventure to all the wild and beautiful places in the world!
    // I circumnavigated the world solo from 2016-2017 and now I am going to all other places I have not seen yet. On the channel: my motorcycle trip around africa/ the first stage of the journey through westafrica, my motorcycle ride from Germany to North Cape "Expedition North" and the best places to do a roadtrip to in Europe.

    My favorite (paved) pass in Colorado is Independence Pass. But it’s only open after Labor Day. There are places that are so narrow two cars can’t pass each other on it.I think it’s over 12,000 ft high. It’s on the way to or from Aspen. Now that’s an interesting place to visit. My favorite unpaved pass is Kebler in Gunnison County in the Fall. The Aspen trees are absolutely beautiful then. Spend some time in Crested Butte when you go there. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Hi Lea, sorry the lingering snow cheated you of riding the mountain passes it would have made good viewing. I bet the poor old Tenere was relieved to have its long overdue service done, as well as easing your guilty conscience 😀. The Mountains of Colorado are beautiful and a great winter sports area. Have you skied there? Enjoying the journey so far👍🏼.

You said in one video you took Engineer's pass on your motorcycle. Brave. We did it in the jeep. I just came upon your videos. Later you have the one in Arkansas.

    Cinnamon... i heard great things about it... riding solo may not be advisable, unless you can lift your bike right-side up by yourself. I put my tail between my legs after riding CA BDR with my KTM 1090. My bike doesn't have good leverage points, when it drop to ground, its flat as a pancake. New 890 or 1290 has the gas tank for good leverage. Enjoyed your vids.

    You are sort of in my area. I live along Hwy 149, in Mineral County, near Creede. Hwy 149 is the only paved road for 4 counties. It runs from just outside Gunnison to South Fork, and travels through 2 of the most remote counties in the lower 48 states. The County I live in is 96% public land, as is Hinsdale County. I am surrounded on 3 sides by the Continental Divide, near the headwaters of the Rio Grande. If you had gone over Engineers Pass, you would have passed near here. Hwy 149 takes you over Slumgullion Pass, and Spring Creek Pass, Lake City and Creede. This is the most beautiful drive I have ever been on, and I highly recommend it. The roads can be windy/curvy, and there is lots of wildlife to watch for, but the road is in good shape. I am sure you are well down the road, but if you pass through, be sure to check in. The Sheriff in Creede can put you in touch. (That's the surest way to communicate, sometimes, as there's only one cell tower in the county, and can be overloaded.) Safe travels! By the way, I used to ride, and have every confidence in your ability, BUT if you go through Pagosa Springs, on Hwy 160 over Wolf Creek Pass, be on your toes. It's steep, windy, and lanes squeeze down at the bottom on the way up. It takes you over the Continental Divide, and the views are outrageous. But treacherous. I live here, and it keeps my attention.

    In Ouray, a wonderful place for dinner is The Beaumont Hotel. Being from Germany, I'm surprised you didn't stay at the Weisbaden Hot Springs Spa & Lodgings. Nothing like a nice soak after a days ride especially in that kind of weather.

    South from Gateway on 141 is a gem, the site of the huge old mill on the mountainside at Uravan about 8 road miles further south from the bridge where you flew the drone is now all cleaned up but was a jaw dropper back in the early 80's when I first rode that beautiful road.

  • @johnburgess5534
    @johnburgess5534 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What’s your hurry? You only have yourself to consider. If the passes are closed, spend time exploring the local sceneries till the passes you want to ride are open. Best not to make plans. Spontaneity is the best thing about FREEDOM. JB.

    • @Got2Go
      @Got2Go  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes you have the time to do so (like when doing a world trip), sometimes not. Waiting for the passes to open would have meant waiting for 1-2 months, but I had to fly back to Europe for work, so I knew from the beginning that this trip will be timed very tightly. But for me this is how I travel these days, I somehow realized that I as well love to be at home with my friends and family, so for me its perfect to travel 1-2 months and then be able to go back to my normal life. But of course that means not being as free as when on a journey without time limits. I am sure there will as well come a time again when I will take off for an unlimited time - but that as well has to do with a certain kind of budget that I first must earn. 😂

    When you’re riding you always miss a lot of the surroundings because you’re busy with riding safely. I always film the whole or most of the tour I make so, at home, I can see what I’ve missed.
    I hate rain too. Ride long enough in the rain and the water will find its way in your clothes somewhere.

    • @Got2Go
      @Got2Go  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I have to admit this time I mainly stopped for the filming - and not because of the rain. 😂 I drove the first kilometers of the million dollar highway and realized that the footage would be completely useless without having any views on the mountains - so the filming made me turn around. 😂
      But: I think you will see in the next episode that it was worth to wait the day! 🤗

    Regarding services/servicing: You were very lucky. Most shops these days will not service any bike that they did not sell or that you did not buy directly from them. In my area, you would have been turned away by every shop but one (out of eight)... and it's not a dealership.

    That was awesome Lea. The guys at the Davis Service Center are the best. I just got new tires from them at the beginning of this season. I didn't know anything about them either, but I was really impressed with their shop. Beautiful job on this video. Quray is also known for ice climbing. It is a really nice little town. If you're ever this way on your Tenere again, there's a full service Yamaha shop in Gunnison. But the guys in Montrose do all types of bikes. There were some Harley riders in the shop when I was there. Looking forward to your next video! 😎
