- Today I met an incredible rider and enjoyed a rip through the woods early on a gorgeous August morning. I figured it was gonna be fun but I had no idea I'd be riding with Chris freaking Birch*. I could barely keep him in sight! What a ride!!!
*Not actually Chris Birch
Man that trail is awesome. Great riding guys, that was a blast to watch!
Thanks for watching! Ride safe.
Amazing trails. Love my 890. Been thinking a lot about the 1290 SAR though.
Sweet! Yeah we have some good riding here.
Most people with their 1290 SAR don't ride like my buddy Robbie here, but he shows it can be done! The 1290 SAR has me thinking, too! I LOVE the LC8 engine (I have a couple of other 1290s and they are STUPENDOUS), much prefer this powerplant to the parallel twin of the 890. I am fairly certain I could ride most of what my friends ride, and maybe 80% of what I ride on the 890, on a 1290. Then I lift a 1290 off the sidestand, feel those extra 80 lb (or so), and it gives me pause... LOL. Decisions, decisions.
Loved watching you guys ride! Riding these bikes like they were designed to be ridden! Well done.
Thank you! We try. ;-) Ride safely!
That was some great riding and epic trails. I have both bikes, but can't ride either one like that!
Hey thanks! These bikes are so great, aren’t they? I have been on a few rides already this spring and I really can’t wait to be in the mountains!
The perfect time to ride. That guys an animal on the 1290! 🤘🏻
All true!!!
Gnarly little trails on those big bikes!
You guys were ripping! That's fun to watch!
Fun to ride! Thanks for watching brother. Glad you enjoyed!
We've crossed from adventurous to a little nutty I think.
That escalated quickly! 🤣
Bloody awesome ride
Thanks! We enjoy it!
Next time we will ride up that trail. Much harder especially up that rut with the step ups.
I thought about that on the way down. Might be a one-way trail for me - I'm not 100% certain those step-ups on the climb are in my skillset. I imagine we'll find out at some point. LOL.
Great ride!!
It sure is!
The first 5 minutes is why I moved from a 1200GSA to my 2023 890 ADV R 🤣
Totally understand!!! And the 890 is still a lot! I’m not man enough to ride a 1250/1290 off road, but they sure are great as all-arounders.
epic ride!
Sure was!
This is where I want to be.
Great goal!
Sold me. Subscribed.
Thanks! I’m glad you’re along for the ride.
On my 1290 SAR the left hand mirror will catch a tree and hit the center console causing you not to be able to turn left... stupid design to cause you can't take the mirror off as it holds the handguard on...
Bummer! I need a different mirror solution at some point, too.
@@CurtisBrandt I went with ram mount type type mirrors, so far so good
