Cool video Chris, and thanks for the dedication to Mike!💕 I’m glad that get off Koty took wasn’t bad. We had such fun riding through Idaho and meeting you guys was great! I definitely want to get on more of those dirt roads next time.
Thanks for watching Jen! It was great to meet you guys as well. Crazy how you end up at the same place with folks that have the same love for adventure! Yep, we gotta get back out there for sure! Tons more to see!!
Let me just thank ya for sharing this vid! Watched it this morning before work (where I’ll slack today and look up your track on the map) and it just brings me such joy and more importantly inspiration. I’m really envious of this kind of point to point riding. Such pure adventure. And dang those views! Some stunning flowered at the start of Lolo too! Glad Cody didn’t go down the mountain, that sure could have been a lot worse! ✊😍
Thanks man! It sure was fun to make and made me miss it like crazy! Shoot, your single track videos are what's inspirational!!!! I watched a ton of them before we headed out and really appreciate you making those. Yeah man, starting out in the Sawtooths and doing the point to point was pure adventure for sure! For the most part it worked out well. We did have one little snag when our support vehicle couldn't make it to camp! We survived though! That video soon! Thanks again for watching!
Hey Tom! Koty runs the Giant Loop Tillamook tail bag and his backpack is a Klim Nak Pak hydropak. The yellow dub is an 01, someone painted. They did a heck of a job on the paint too!
Snow brush!!! Awesome! Is that the same thing you said the elk eat during winter? It kinda has a smell similar to a flea and tick dog collar lol!! How about that Toboggan ridge man!! Talk about backcountry!!
Thanks J! Yes, we use Gaia exclusively with the overland layer. We found it to show all the trails really close to correctly and even the single track in Idaho. It's the paid version but you can grab it on sale during holidays usually. I have a couple videos going over it as well if you want to check them out. This was a great day!
@broay73 good deal. It definitely has a bit of a learning curve. Not super bad though. Start here! th-cam.com/video/axc57yNEvs4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-KRHFdReGXT4gVqv
How did you carry the puppy on the bike? Most footage I've watched of FS500 is of mountain tops, good to see some valleys and rivers. What month was that?
Charlie Koty's dad (aka angry camper) 😀 Met us at camp most nights with our gear and the pup. He kept my CT125 with him and used it around camp and did some day rides with us exploring etc. We got to Fairfield around July 30. Spent 6 or 7 days in the Sawtooths before heading north. I think this was probably day 8 or so. So going into the 2nd week of August or so. The creeks and valleys were actually off of toboggan ridge which splits north west off of fs500 and brings you out at Cedars Campground on the Clarke Fork River below Superior Montana there. Itwas a great time man. Check out the whole series if you haven't!
Thanks Michael. It truly was one for the history books! We had a fantastic time! I think my favorite is the sawtooths, but northern Idaho is something to see as well
And did I ever tell him a about my street only TW? I sold it for some cash and a case of beer after 9 years of commuting duty! 1998 TW200 th-cam.com/video/88ZS_G4P0x0/w-d-xo.html

glad Koty is alright, that $50 hitch threw him good. what water filter were you using?
That's for sure! That's the small lifestraw bladder. Works great for just me. Takes a little while if you have a group.
Is Cody using that Nelson Rigg backpack/tail bag?
Love his yellow TW, what year is that?
You’ve had an epic journey. Well done!

reminds me of the 1980s Gold Wing 😂@@PSBEadventures
Looks like a great ride- gotta watch those sand snakes!
That's a fact! Outta nowhere! It was a great day of riding in some awesome wilderness man! More to come!!
That’s snow brush! I haven’t been to lochsa lodge since 2012. Gonna need to make it back there!!!

@@PSBEadventures that was an awesome trail I want it hit up! That Cayuse creek looked incredible too!
@@dirtcopdualsport metric ton of trails around there man
@@PSBEadventures it’s on my to do list for sure! Those were indeed Ponderosa pines! The big pointy cones gave them away!
Great video. What mapping app/software do y'all use? I think you mentioned Gaia?

I just bought it and I will do a deep dive into your vids to check it out. Thanks and happy trails.@@PSBEadventures

Amazing ride. Love the videos

Have you seen the new PG-1 from Yamaha? It's a challenger for the CT-125.
I sure have! Looks cool!
