    I've done the entire thing twice on an XR650L. Also did the Shadow of the Rockies Trail from El Paso to Baggs, Wyoming and the Mississippi Hill Country Trail. I put 37,000 miles on that bike and gave it to a friend with a mighty knock in the engine. I lost my wallet in Nevada along with $800 and some other stuff when my fanny pack fell off in the middle of nowhere. I rode 430 miles that day before I found it and made it to the motel. That was the last time I ever carried my wallet in a fanny pack. I doubt if I took two dozen photos along the way and not a single video, but man, do I have some great memories!

      About 20 years ago when I was trucking, I got a cash advance in NV, left the money on the counter, and took off. 100 miles later I realized it and stopped to call the truck stop. She said she found the money. I told her where I was and I would turn around and come back. She said no, she would bring it to me. When she got there, I hugged her, gave her $60 and kept $40. What a sweet girl.

    Thanks for sharing this. Due to old age and health, I can no longer make long rides like this. I was able to make long off-road trips on my 95 BMW R 1100 GS a few years ago. Thanks for helping me see this once again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      That is one of my top memories from the trip. Ironically, that bridge wasn’t actually on the TAT, it was as we were diverting off the route and onto pavement, so that we could get a new tire at the Cycle Gear in Granite Pass.

    You're better off engine braking when running out of gas (if you can't turn the bike off), the fuel cutoff while engine braking will let you save more than at idle. Have had to do that a couple times in Nevada and Idaho to make sure I got to the next town.

    • @MotoTherapy
      @MotoTherapy  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, that coasting contest was just for fun-we weren’t really running out of gas. But riding back from our TAT ride, I did have to draft a truck heading east out of Bend, OR, in order to get to some gas. Amazing how much that extended my range (and how sketchy it was)!

      @MotoTherapy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I sliced my rear tire west of Ephraim (directly south of SLC). The closest replacement tire we could find was in Provo, so we diverted to Provo and then reconnected with the trail from there. As you said, looping around the Salt Lake is of limited interest, and we were also riding during the big heat wave with temps well into the 100s. So, after dealing with the tire (double-plugged, couldn't get the bead to reset, etc.) in the middle of nowhere for most of a day in the extreme heat and wind, and having already diverted to the north, missing that section was also a safety call.

    How do you handle a wet tent in the morning? Do you just pack it and set it up wet the next camp site?

    • @MotoTherapy
      @MotoTherapy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      On this trip, our solution was to ride during a record-setting heatwave and drought--it only rained/snowed on us moderately for about 30 minutes at a high elevation near Silverton, CO 😂
      But seriously, this is a good question. On other rides, we have delayed departure from campgrounds in order to let our tents dry, or we have packed them wet, then set them up at the next campground with enough time for them to dry. Worst case (when rain is inescapable) is to retreat to a hotel and try to dry them in the room. Other creative solutions like finding an overhang at an abandoned gas station, etc. might also be possibilities when the rain is relentless.
      Note: I usually pack my tent in its own dry bag. Reason: To keep it dry when riding, and if it does have to be packed wet, to prevent it from co-mingling with my dry stuff and getting it wet, too. I also pack my sleeping bag and bedding in its own dry bag, for a similar reason (to ensure it stays dry).

      There were only a few spots that were technical enough to make me wish I was on a smaller bike. If it was me, I'd ride the big bike if I was with a buddy, and the little bike if I was solo. Best wishes!

      @MotoTherapy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hans can ride that beast anywhere. It was helpful that he had some good skills for those passes. Having ridden the route with him, I wouldn't recommend a beginner (or even an intermediate) rider take a fully loaded GSA on some of those sections.

    I’ve heard the TAT in Oregon has a lot of dead ends and reroutes, and hasn’t been updated in quite awhile, but doesn’t appear that you had any difficulty in that respect. Can you confirm the routes condition?

    • @MotoTherapy
      @MotoTherapy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We rode Sam’s route, and the only reroute we experienced was due to a wildfire. I can’t speak to gpsKevin’s route, but I’ve heard people offer complaints like you mentioned about his route.

    How late in the year would you think this section would be passable. Wanting to do it with some snow but don’t want too much it’s impassable? Thanks for the reply

    • @MotoTherapy
      @MotoTherapy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      One never knows when snow dumps will occur at the high elevations. A common expectation for the passes to be open is late-June through mid-September. Before or after that the chance for snow under your tires starts to increase significantly.(Mountain passes are often closed from Oct to late May.)
