I rode my GSA 1250 to Lake City -> Engineer Pass -> Stony Pass -> Lake City because of this series. I had a couple days available and was trying to put together a route to hit some passes that was within my ability. Came across this series and it really helped me understand what I was heading into. I just used part of your loop! Thanks you guys!!
Yeah. Great job guys. This brought back some good memories. My brother came home from the military for 2 weeks, so I took him on a trip out there through those trails. Great times
13:35 "The faster you go the easier it is", is a true statement. It doesn't matter whether the rocks are covered with water or not. I speed up in the rock sections and have to wait on others while they wear themselves out fighting every single rock. Find a rhythm with more speed and you'll be king of the rocks.
Well done gentlemen. I've been waiting for another RMATV ride. You guys do it right AND you Share the GPS tracks. This is what sets you a part from the rest. Thanks for giving back!
Awesome video! I really enjoyed the ride threw the mountains! I live in the high rockies and I do a lot of riding on trails like these as well! The Rocky Mountains are such an amazing place for any adventure your looking for especially for dirt bikes and ATVS! Thanks Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for a great inspirational video!
I always keep extra brake, clutch, and shift levers in my tail bag. Haven't had to use them yet but I bet Scotty has now learned why they're good to have onboard
Great video, thanks for the effort putting it together.. Great range of roads/terrain. Was there a certain bike that did the best all round job? How did the crf450l compare to the other end of the scale in the crf1000 africa twin? Many thanks.
The relay problem happened on my Honda Crf250l and got me stranded. I couldn't unhook the battery in time and it complete drained the battery. That was the worst day of my motorcycle life.
Love this video! One of the best and entertaining videos I have seen. Spectacular views and wilderness! Question...Have ya'll considered doing a rally raid or adventure package together on a newer CB500X? I am strongly considering this bike.
At the 2:11 mark check out how the race tuned, state of the art suspension of the KLR is simply turning that Rocky terrain into the silk road! When you ride that bike, your fellow riders will just accuse you of cheating. Lol
Beautiful ride...That would be fun!! $4/gal for fuel...good thing you're not filling up a vehicle, I haven't seen prices like that for a few yrs. I know it's in the mountains & rural, but damn, that's double the norm atm.
Hi Rocky Mountain this is a question for Josh apart from the idea that you sell parts is the Honda headlight enough ? at the moment its hard to get parts shipped to Australia
Yeah so I'm not running the stock headlight on the 450L. While the stock one is surprisingly decent, I've got the Baja Designs Squadron Pro/S2 headlight kit installed. It is an awesome headlight kit! Easy to install, and incredibly bright when you switch on the high beam. I almost got myself in trouble a couple times bombing down the mountain in the dark because the headlight gave me so much confidence 😁 - Josh www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/baja-designs-squadron-pro-s2-led-light-kit-p
That in the middle of nowhere gas station/Shop's gas prices are only $.10 more a gallon than we're forced to pay daily in N. Calif. absolutely absurd...
Ditto on southern vittles. Must be the marmots sabotaging electronics around animas forks. My battery broke on the KLR in California gulch and they were the only company I had for a while. Think they were after my dinner. Lol
Haha good memory! Yes we did on the WR250R. That time was my fault however because I made the mistake of charging the camera batteries overnight - Josh
I love RMATV, get all my parts from them. Theses videos are a bit boring IMO, wheres the ADV? Seems like a bunch of stops for food and sleeping in cabins lol. You guys need to step it up and try to compete with Revzilla & FortNine , I know you got the budget. Still giving it a thumbs up though!

Having ridden these trails myself , I can say that this is the best video that I have seen about them. Excellent job chaps!

And pick a good line!
Well done gentlemen. I've been waiting for another RMATV ride. You guys do it right AND you Share the GPS tracks. This is what sets you a part from the rest. Thanks for giving back!
Thanks for following along! We love trying to give as much value to the ADV community as possible! - Josh
What a bunch of cool guy's. Great ride. It nice to have real motorcycle mechanics on a ride,.
Definitely
Thanks for the effort putting the video together. Awesome! And thanks for making the gps available.
That’s the great thing about the KLR. Parts in random places.
Love how you guys brought the 450L great bike I love mine
It was a great bike for this ride! I had a blast on it! - Josh

Great scenery, trail looked ruff. Nicely done.👍
What great coverage. Thanks for sharing the journey
Great teamwork on the relay fix!
Taco shop is also really nice in Lake City!
Outstanding! Well done gents!
I always keep extra brake, clutch, and shift levers in my tail bag. Haven't had to use them yet but I bet Scotty has now learned why they're good to have onboard
Beautiful drone footage.
Definitely a fantastic ride.
Thank you all for sharing.
Wish we had views like that here in NJ.
Enjoy joy the ride
This looks like so much fun!

Absoluty a great ride! Thanks!
KLR for the win! Won the race. Won the parts challenge. No complaining.
great vid, looks like a lot of fun.
Amazing scenery and filming!
I hope you took a few extra parts off the KLR? 👍
I'm just glad nobody had to say the word : Balaklava !
Ain't that the truth?
At 8:05 The world of what? I played it a dozen times and couldn't make out what you were saying. Motor noise.
amazing video! cant wait to see more.
Love that handlebar clamp switch plate after the bump start but can't find it on the website. How about a linky-doo?
Thank you! That's the Tusk Accessory Dash Panel: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-accessory-dash-panel-p
The downhill side of corkscrew is like a motocross track with its berms, too bad it was dark when you guys hit it this year
It really is! The dark still didn't stop a few of us from having some fun on the way down though 👊✊👊 - Josh
How did the carb bikes do with all the elevation changes? Any on the fly jetting or fueling changes?
It definitely has an affect. The DRZ gets pretty wimpy up there, but still chugs through it. We don't make any changes - just run it! - Justin
this should be a good group of mechanics to break down on the trail with
Thanks
What should we be looking up that Troy suggested? Sounds like "ground fat".
Lol yea I heard brown bag
Brown Fat 😂
Also curious
That's a great KTM right there
Do you ever have issues with your bikes being able to breathe at those higher elevations? Any on the fly adjutments required for this trip? Thanks!
Also, I just picked up a 2012 DRZ stock... what mods, gear bags and other essentials are on the DRZ in this vid?
Loved everything
The relay problem happened on my Honda Crf250l and got me stranded. I couldn't unhook the battery in time and it complete drained the battery.
That was the worst day of my motorcycle life.
Couldn't bump start it?
@@mrastleysghost too heavy. downhill would have been possible.
@@JinKazama92 oh were there no hills around? Rip lol

Lol that’s horrible bike if you want to go off road.

That aged well
@@johnclegg6048 , I was going to write the same thing! I hope he appreciated Trump while he could.
Awesome
Epic views!!!!
What's the music a 4:00?
Do you fellas on the KLRs ever run a shot of Seafoam in your tank when you stop and get gas?

@@TheFastphill Yes we do ship to Australia! You can see our international shipping info here:

How do you listen to music on your bikes?
What all bikes were you on?
Be sure to check out the first episode where we introduce all the bikes that were a part of this ride:

Amazing
Ditto on southern vittles. Must be the marmots sabotaging electronics around animas forks. My battery broke on the KLR in California gulch and they were the only company I had for a while. Think they were after my dinner. Lol
Didn't you drain your battery overnight on the Dirty Devil too?
Haha good memory! Yes we did on the WR250R. That time was my fault however because I made the mistake of charging the camera batteries overnight - Josh
Fell asleep watching this
Let me guess, you're a teenager?? - Justin
Rocky Mountain ATV MC 29 years old. Live in Colorado. Race the local enduros. Up in the mountains all the time -Austin
Wearing your Pokemon pj's, a warm cup of milk and your favorite lullaby CD playing softly in the background?
Sounds nice.
Troy introduced you to the world of what? Haha, It sounds like you said "Ground Fat". Sure appreciate you sharing your adventures.
Brown fat! Interesting topic! - Justin
That bike has the strongest battery and starter I’ve ever seen.
Parked in front of a liquor store at the end... Seems about right!
You are so right. Good eye.
If I had a dollar for every time I drove by a group of guys leaned over a orange bike. Lol
How do I get a hold of the GPS files?

you guys are so advance！
I suggest a 6 speed with a minimum of 650cc, mandatory fuel-injection, a large fuel tank, maybe 4 gallons.
Dual sport riders stand up more than outdoor ama pros
@20:00 just buy Honda.
A ktm with issues? No way… lol
KTMs...always with the electrical gremlins.
Aka euro trash. It seems ktm owners secret wich is to have a DRZ nearby...
KTM AH !
Ktm😀
Its pronounced "OO-ray" ;)
actually, if you ever go to the Ouray historical museum in town, they will teach you it rhymes with "hooray." Closest phonetic would be "yur'-ay."
KTM .......again
