- Doing Imogene Pass in Colorado on a BMW F800GS and a KTM 640 Adventure. Lots of images and details in me and my buddies ride report over on advrider.com advrider.com/fo...
Thanks guys! I'm definitely learning the ins and outs of helmet caming. I'll make a note of more scenery pans.
thanks for sharing! i get to ride this once or twice a month and love it! now i can send this to my bros and show them what they're missing back in PA]
I sooo looking forward to going back up there with my V Strom or a 4x4. Either way it is so amazing.
@ShortyJenkans Wow I found your link on advrider and am in the middle of that fantastic report you have on there about ouray. I answered my own question I see he does have the engine crash bars and I see you went up Mineral point which is the beginning of engineer pass. I can believe you made it with that bmw, very impressed. Great report makes me wanna go back. If you know of any other areas like Ouray where you can ride jeep trails for a good week, let me know. thanks
The trail footage is cool, but it would be nice to see some more sweeps of the mountains surrounding the trail when you guys stop.
Around 3:20 there are some serious "Whoa!" moments, great video!
It's doable for sure. Coming from Telluride, going up has some short pretty loose rock sections you need some momentum for if you take the "wrong" line. They aren't too bad and there are ways around if you take the "correct" path. Going down there are bigger embedded rocks that form ledges if you take the "wrong" line, but nothing you can't float the front off. The ledges are easily avoidable by riding the right lines. The last climb to the pass is beautiful. I would do it on a 990 for sure.
Amazing trip man, wish we had scenery like this in the Netherlands, haha. Beautiful.
@ShortyJenkans I was on the KTM, but I can answer having ridden his bike a little. First gear is tall, but the powerband on the 800 is insane, you just lug the engine and it pulls fine. He has not re geared his bike in these videos. The bike is heavy and you will notice it over your klx, but it tackles the rough stuff well. He has dumped the bike many times, lifting it with one person is possible if you remove luggage, but its not fun. 2 people with luggage is no problem.
What a cool ride. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info, does he have the crash bars for the engine installed? Would love to see any other videos from ouray. After seeing this I think I could do a lot of the trails out there like animas fork california gulch, etc but I don't think I would take it up Mineral springs or mineral point. That was pretty rough even with my 250 but I did see a 650 klr going up. Did you guys happen to do that trail? never been on black bear and probably never will after seeing your video, scary.
very beatyfull, and very nice ride with the best bike in the world
Great video. Thanks for sharing...
How do you think this would be on a bigger bike like the 990 adventure?? It sure looks possible this way but just wondering if there is anything really crazy not caught on footage?
Hello, just had a couple questions for the bmw 800 rider. I've been to Ouray several years now with my Klx 250s and was thinking about getting a bmw f 800, I'm worried about first gear being too high, what speed can you crawl in without clutchwork. Also how is the weight for balancing going over the rough stuff, did you dump it at all? My bike is about 150 lbs less and and I lowered my sprocket so i can crawl around 7-9 mph.You looked like it was a piece of cake for you was it? Thank You
Awesome!!!
