Cool to see a 310 running with a 1250. Looks like you guys had a blast. I can’t wait to do this on my 800gs! Thank you for posting pure riding footage. Subbed and 👍
It’s hard to see the nets. Kinda looks like a silt fence. Sometimes they’ll put a silt fence around a pond or small water body to keep silt from running into them and settling at the bottom. Just a long shot though tbh.
Hello, I didn't get a reason other than they probably don't want regular cars to roll through. I had groups run through there recently with no problem. I passed a park official with no issues either.
I don't remember exactly, but I would say 2 gallons. On the XR it might be a bit more thirsty XR400 or XR650? I used to have a XR250R, solid dirt bike.
@@ScottyADV it's the 650. Being a lighter bike and in sand I would guess it would use less. I have a 4 gallon tank so I think it would make it to Blythe.
Awesome Scott! You're a sand expert now. Just wondering, did you guys try to air down the tires? It helps a lot on sand...but not sure if that's a good idea with fully loaded bikes. You and Eric are legit. Love the videos.
Not trying to sound like a jerk but your buddy is way too small for that big bike. If you can't lift your bike on your own, it's too much machine for your size. That bike is made for guys my size.
Yea it's a big bike, he's 6'4" and can lift it up on his own multiple times. It's just better with teamwork to save energy and effort. Although it is tiring with back to back lifts haha
I sold my 2018 310GS last year and watching your video makes me wish I had kept it and taken it off road more often. Great video. 👍
Thanks! What do you ride now? Hopefully, you can still get some dirt action in.

Good job and thanks for the long format videos.
Sand is always tricky. Your tires look like they would do the job but weight is everything
I wonder if he deflated them .

Looks like you got markedly better in the sand as the day progressed. Good job,,,looks fun!
great chasing !!! wish i was out there with you
Looking 4ward to part 2. Looks like u handled Indian pass road with very little trouble
Did you ever find out the deal with the road closed sign?

The desert ❤
This was a great ride !!! We gotta do sections 2-4 once my shock is fixed
I think that the 310 was definitely better in the loose stuff.
Cool video. Thanks for posting. Curious what tires you were running on this trip? Ride safe!
I am running Michelin Anakee Wilds. Great tire for traction. In this video the rear tires were down to 30% life. The front still has 70% life.
How much fuel did you use on this route? Ive been thinking of riding my xr on this leg and heading back down the east side of the river

How long did that clutch last after all that sand? 😹
Haha clutch is all good.

Thanks Jordan. No I kept my street pressure especially since I got cast wheels.
How many hours did it take you to get to Blythe
7 hours with lots of breaks. We also did not complete Milpitas Wash Road/bradshaw trail due to a mechanical. That would add another 1-2 hours.
They say Section 1 is the worst.
It was a blast! Section 1 is underrated for the views and fun.

@@ScottyADV That bike must be huge because he does not look like he's that tall! I thought he was a munchkin like you! haha
No such thing as too small a person for a bike. Jocelyn Snow is 5' and 100lbs riding that same bike. Just gotta be willing to put in the work.
