Where you been? I hope all is well. Hope Mr. V is still alive. Most of the the other guy's off road videos are getting boring. The Van Van looks fun. Perfect for the young man. He did well...
Hey Frank! Hope we're keeping you entertained! ;) Busy time right now, sick family, new job up North. Looking forward to settling into more of a routine in the next couple months.
Great video guys! In Germany, after a few seconds maybe 15 old people would start chasing you with sticks and dogs, because this is super forbidden here and the country is so full of,people you would never find a spot like this. Envy you for the landscape
Ive had my van van for around 2 and a half years. Its amazing on the backroads and loose ground, even some medium trails, but you have to be careful on the heavier stuff. The back wheel likes to slide around when its wet especially wet mud.
I had a 1977 xt500 bought new from Calif. dealer. He didn't want me to test ride because a Harley guy did and popped a wheelie as he pulled out onto the main road and crashed into a parked car damaging the car and bike. Ha. That was a true classic motorcycle! I rode it to the Grand Canyon and also did the Alpine loop on it in CO! Love that sound!
@@RaggedRoadsMoto The tire he has is the only choice for off road. Couple of street tires that size but only 1 off road! It's the Bridgestone TW34 and that's what he has.
@@hazcat640to his native disk, unfortunately, this is so. But there are still options.. th-cam.com/video/O_d0-b0uAXs/w-d-xo.html But, of course, it will take a little work..
The 125cc and 200cc Suzuki Van Van weren't really built to handle such condition due to its wide tyre displacement. A Yamaha DX or DT...yes...thats different they have the clearance beneath the engine. A Van Van for beaches and dry level dirt tracks and road work. To really enjoy this type of off-road work...buy a scrambler...
ohhh boy.. goin muddin on dual sport tires just makes things that much challenging he could've made it through much easier if he put Mud Specific Knobbies and lower the tire pressure

I feel like I went back in time. Good teaching and your student actually listened. Good job.
He's lucky to have you there to show him the ropes. I had to learn all this stuff the hard way.
Me too! On an F650GS too 🤮

I have a Hagon shock and emulators up front. Huge improvement for the Van Van.
Just had to sub. You guys are living life properly!
Beautiful flashback to my XT250. Good job helping the newer rider! This video brought me some genuine smiles.
Vanvan is more road orientated then those other bikes. It's going to handle allot worse off-road so he did really well.

Good Job Jake! Nothing like trial by fire!! The XT's look good Colin! Nice trails..Nice drone footage!!!
Jake was on fiyyaaa 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks Ryan! :)

Super cool, that looked like brilliant fun.
It was! Thanks for watching!
Great work, love seeing the old bikes getting dirty.
Nice when a new rider listens to your advice, he did very well.
He's a good guy and catches on quick!
My 200 Suzuki Van Van has a black gas tank; even orange colour like the one shown on this video,looks nice 👍
Congratulations. True adventure, small budget and really fun. That's right!
It sure is!
Good to see ya! Great trails. Next you guys will be putting on clinics like Chris Birch. Lol
That's the dream!
Back on the trails! Hope to see you out there! Had the TW out yesterday. Love the vids!
Beautiful nature, like we have in Siberia. VanVan obviously needs mud tire.
And then he can do a lot..
I'm seeing if I can convince Jeff to get one ;) muwahaha.

"Some" ATV tires can be mounted to it ;)

@@hazcat640 No, these tires are Dunlop K180.
Love your intro 👍🤟great vid great trails 👍
Thanks! Every time we go out we're finding another hidden treasure ;)
Nice to see when someone teaches someone else with not much experience. Sometime people are just mean about it
Indeed they can be! :(
Getting rid of my V strom next week. Going to miss this!
*sadness*
No need to stop watching just cuz your ditching the Strom. There is a mix of bikes on the Channel stay tuned for a new one;)
@@Psycrow11 I just meant the off-road aspect of biking. I'll still keep watching stuff 👍
感覺好好玩!!!
Dirt track tires not so good for mud. Need to swap in some TW tires.
Where are you located that you are unable to ride on the trails now? We're concerned about the same thing happening here.
@@RaggedRoadsMoto
Cool video! Is it the suzuki vanvan 200 or the 125?
That is the 200CC Monster ;p muwahaha

How deep it can get into the water without any problems ?
I'm still new enough to off-road that I need this exact same course.
Is there a sign up sheet?
Where are you located? Just come out riding with us! Haha.
@@RaggedRoadsMoto Indiana USA
Dang, that's a bit far from Nova Scotia :(
@@RaggedRoadsMoto I'll learn plenty by watching. Keep up the solid content.

Young guy and new rider just making due with the tools he has. Will make him appreciate those upgrades ;)
