Just bought my first bike. Learning how to ride is a blast. I dumped it twice this weekend? Nothing real bad. I’m is nice to hear the success and failures of riders like you. I’m 45 and feel like a kid again on .... you guessed it a DR200!
Congrats. Two wheels makes you younger. G forces suck you into the seat when you rail berms, etc. Only thing close would be surfing, or Roller Coaster. Have fun.
My daughter and I just finished our first race thanks to you sir! I am 27 and she is 7. What a blast, we got our butts handed to us, but we are hooked now! You make it look easy!. I couldn't imagine horsing that 600 around for that amount of time. You should be happy with that finish! Keep up the content man!
On the old XR500's and 350's a good trick if it wouldn't start was to pull the decompression handle, open the throttle wot then kick it over easy like 10 times no choke. Then release decompression and start as normal. Works like a champ on mine. Mine can be a beast to start if I stall it but the trick I just explained works good.
The most underrated motorcycle channel on all of TH-cam! Awesome to see that so many people are getting into the endurance racing due to your videos. I hope this up and coming rocky mountain video brings you lots more followers 🙂 keep the awesome content coming 👌
Amen man, I did the 24hrs of Glen Helen in the Ironman class twice, nothing, no amount of video or commentary could ever do that race justice. I slept for 20hrs the day after finishing the race the second (and last) time. I am sticking to 3ish hour long desert races from now on.
Getting ready to do the Northeast 24hr Challenge in upstate NY. Did two years of six man teams, the last two years were two man, and this year I’m going 50+ Ironman. I’m 55, and just doing it for the challenge. Definitely looking forward to it.
Whatever physical shape you have to be in for this is far from anything I would ever be at this juncture. Good for you even attempting it on the big thumper!
I remember my first holeshot. I was not on top of my game but it turned into a 4th place finish from what would have probably been a 10th. Keep on living the dream my man!
Bro, get a DR350. I swear to God you will not regret it, bro. Hell, if you were on the east coast I'd lend you mine, lol. If you do get one try to get a pre 95, because the off-road one has a Mikuni TM33, which is a flat slide pumper carb, and it doesn't weigh that much. It's actually one of the best handling bikes I've ever ridden.
i saw a 95 dr350 on craigslist here in cali where i lived, i watched acouple of videos on it and i wanted it so bad, but i didnt have the money and im too young to get a job, but im saving up cause i have my dads old 06 crf450r that i want to race next year in the iron man class lol, thing wants to wheelie for days and even though the tank is only 1.5-2 gallons, it can go 40-60 minutes on a tank, so id pit every 2 laps lol
@@Its209justin Bro, you won't regret getting one, I promise. I've owned nearly 20 bikes in my life, and I can tell you that the DR350 is by far the best enduro I've had the privilege of riding.
@@Its209justin I have a YZ450f slip on, jetted, took the air box screen out, and cut the top of the air box out, and mine does 95 MPH. It's 0-60 time is right at 6 seconds. It's a sweet heart of a bike, and the maintenance schedule is not bad. Oil change every 60 hours of riding. The Yamaha WR250 is every 4-6 hours, and I've beaten every WR250 that I've ran across.
I'm impressed you only have one finger on the clutch lever. I run two fingers on any cable clutch, whether it's a YZ or XR650R. I don't think my hand would last very long one finger pulling on my XRR.
I just saw this video Im an expert woods rider an I have a 86 xr600r an 87 an 88 and also I ride a 94 xr650l an my wife rides a custom lowered 97 xr650l the 650s are easy start the trick to the older kick starts is to get the piston up an kicker up the whole way pull the compression release an when you kick half way down with the kicker release the compression release lever it will start every time an when u are powering up hill or cornering use a little rear brake to keep the bike tight an your line will keep straight I love you videos I ride red I love them thumpers
Make that 11 dudes that did the Ironman race because of your videos haha The up and downhills on the course are very steep and the 2nd half of the course was a nightmare after 3 hours. Great times man! I’ll be back for the 10 but in way better shape.
Right? It got so torn up out there! I was laughing at a lot of it in the second half. Come through a turn carrying good speed because it's nice and worn in, just to open up to a DISASTER of a straight that you have to slow down for and crawl through haha. Hope to see you at the 10!
@@TortureTestMagazine hahaha Yup! I saw you pass me at 3:31 and I yelled “get em Gabe!” My buddy and I had Cardo’s on the whole time having a blast and 4 hours felt like 2. That blonde haired chick was FAST. I’ll try to go her speed next time. You can alway pit with us if you get there late and can’t find anything. See you at the 10hr man.
Want to come out to Vegas, I got a place by Pahrump, I ride an xr600, a very fast one I'd love to have you come out and go riding it's about 20 minutes 2 Dumont great writing fun riding not too bumpy but super fun

I love it! Can you please make a video about all issues regarding XR600R starting up? What was the reason you could not get it going for half an hour? I have had the same behaviour on my XR600R recently. And I am about to do an enduro rally tomorrow. Any tips on getting it working after a fall quicker would be much appreciated! Thanks.
great video and I know how hard it is to capture good quality footage, just a shame you didnt get any from the last hour when the track is totally wooped
I'm no expert by any means, but after seeing many of your videos, I have the feeling you should look into doing this as a professional racer (if you haven't already).
Girlie on W402 who went around you on the start line - you passed her on 07:14. But be honest: I think you like the very challenging courses. It is "your thing".
Hey, when you're discussing your failures during the race, edit in the crashes, that would make it that much better. I don't mean I want to see you get hurt, but the crashes are fun to see as well. Keep on truckin' & good luck moving fwd.
Agreed, great for an emergency boost My personal opinion for a 6 hour event is to have a good meal (chicken and carbs) a couple of hours before hand, use the energy gels as a filler during the race (2 is plenty), and at the half way point eat a couple of p.b and jam sandwiches. Great videos and enjoy the run what you brung attitude.
I ridden a few endurance races but they were long rallies on double and single track with varying degrees of difficulty. Longest one was 800 km off road (some connecting road sections) 17 hours to get through it - but something like a 24 hour Glen Helen, that would be brutal....and I want to do it! haha PS - love your vids!
I ride a heavily modded dr 650 and uphill is straight scarey. Youre bike is so heavy if it kicks out from under you there isnt a lot you can do to salvage it.
i wasnt able to do it this year, but in 2022 im definitely gonna go and do the 6 hour on my 06 crf450r, that or some other old bike lol, but i really want to get into this kind of racing, 10 hours? maybe, 24 hours? not a chance in hell lmao, but I really hope you figure out that elbow, so i can race you at 100% in the ironman class
@@sarahdell4042 things didnt pan out and my bike blew up in october of last year, and unfortunately i have to work to fix it so its maybe going to happen next year, maybe do it on a 125 lol 😂
I'm no expert either but a KLR dry humping a KTM350 in the same T-bone situation was an event. All for film 😆 and the 3 of us agreed to ride by the camera at speed. Well the first guy turned after the camera and I was right on his ars. I lost a mirror and he lost the rotor. The third guy lost his shit🖖🙃
Nice man good job. What’s the limit of your skill. Could you run a dirt bike from the 70s? The 60s? What the oldest you could take and people would be amazed.
But that's the way it is man, good riders always make it look easy, truth is riding stuff like that beats the living s h i t out of you! but it feels good cause it's a good work out.

@Torture Test Magazine, any thoughts of running the Baja 1000? It would be tough as it requires a dedicated team and a whole lot of time and $$.

It’s awesome to see that your videos bring more people to the races
I'll bet there were a lot of people out there pointing at Gabe and saying: "That's him! That's the guy who made those TH-cam videos we watched!"
Awesome ride!!! Have my Xr 400 and love it!!! You need a horn on the Xr to let the KTMs to move over lol!!!!
Xr400 for life
Just put an aftermarket exhaust on and let the thunder speak for itself
I wish I can get an xr400 or xr250 but they’re just so expensive for their age. We need a new generation of great cheap bikes.
@@Nethter idk what happened to the xr prices, they use to be a dime a dozen. Ever since the pandemic started the prices skyrocketed
@@abelvelazco5450 yeah I’m in need of a cheap bike even if it’s as good as the xr bikes or not
I'm so glad you're making these videos on the xr600. My favorite bike.

Every time I watch your videos, I'm still amazed by the single finger clutch pull on the 600R - hurts my hand just to watch!
My 87 xr600r did the same put a new CDI in it never had an issue again
Had a 93 xr600 give to me a year ago. Finally got around to putting a stator on it and cleaned the carb. My gosh!!! That bike is a beast.
I love riding a big 4 stroke. So much fun 🤩
Love the XR600!!!
