    Crazy seeing a local video recommended in my Moto feed. My senior project was giving tours at Eckley for Halloween.

      That’s rad! Eckley is a special place! I’ve been up at my parents recently so you may see more local videos come across your feed in the near future 😂

      Hey! I’m living down in Asheville, NC but I’m down to ride the next time I bring the moto home to see my folks!
      There’s some dudes that ride up near Scranton too. Join the NEPA Dual Sport group on FB and you might be able to find a crew!

    Ahh yes a local!! How do you like the bike? I really am considering one. Spoke with a gentelman today in Wilkes-Barre and he loved his.

    • @OffRoadRodeo
      @OffRoadRodeo  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey! Yes, from White Haven but living in Asheville, NC. I like the XR150 a lot. I really beat the heck out of it last year. If you go back through these videos I’ve ridden it at Windrock Park, Great Smoky Mtns, Blackwater State Forest in FL, etc. I’ve never had any sort of mechanical issue and all I ever did was change the oil and put better tires on it. It gets crazy good gas mileage and has a really big tank. Also has a really nice rack that comes with the bike.
      I recently bought a CRF 250 Rally that I’m primarily riding now. I wanted something a bit bigger and faster with better suspension. That being said, the XR is sitting right next to it in the garage. 👍

    Hi. I live in Nazareth Pa and ride that area all the time. I searched, both on google maps and did a ride yesterday, for the road that went past the Trump graffiti along the Lehigh river with no success. I thought you indicated in the summary that it was off of Middleburg Rd. I ride Middleburg Rd from White Haven to Bear Creek often. Could you be more specific on what road you were on or how I could find the turn off. It would be much appreciated thank you.

    • @OffRoadRodeo
      @OffRoadRodeo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there, the road is off of Middleburg Rd on Ice Lake Rd outside of White Haven. It’s a left had turn before/across from the Pleasure Dome. It’s dirt. It does dead end at the bottom but it’s a really pleasant ride with some access to the river at the bottom.

      Hey! I’ll definitely take you up on a ride the next time I’m home with my moto. I’m living down in Asheville, NC so I only get back up there a few times per summer with the moto. As for keeping your riding places secret, no worries, I won’t GoPro whatever we ride.
      I’m not sure the name of the road but its coordinates start roughly near the strip club outside WH.
      Coordinates are: 41.0868520, -75.7733170 (also known as Ice Lake Rd)

      I’m 6’2”. It’s entirely possible to ride it at our height. I added 30mm handlebar risers and ProTaper CR High bars to bring the controls up more.
      That being said I also have a CRF250 Rally and that’s definitely better for tall folks like us.

      But now the BMW is gone and the XR is getting all the love. So many more miles to come this summer!
