Thanks for following along with us! I personally loved riding the 450L through this route! Lightweight definitely had it's advantages when going through the technical passes! - Josh
As an ex otr trucker I found myself glued to watching all these videos at once. I've always wondered countless times where these hidden roads and places are when I pass a stray road that looks interesting or has signs pointing to a certain location all over this country. I had to pick my phone up and try and follow you along the way with Google maps! Youngest grandson enjoyed this as well.
There is no way I could wrangle my big old RE Himalayan over those gnarly sections. Watching that was better than going to the movies. Great job you guys.
Great videos guys! Buying stuff from you guys is made all that much better knowing you are all serious riders and ride what you sell. Thanks for sharing!
Another Incredible video. The action is awesome as well as the scenery. The music is perfect and not overpowering. What a way to start my day! Thanks! Was just on some of this last week while in MOAB but only for a day. I need a week.
Well done fellas, thoroughly enjoyable. Made it to the states for the first time last year for only a week from Australia. Did a quick drive nearby this area and all I could think about since is trying to get over there and explore on a dual sport. This has only added fuel to the fire. Thank you
I just watch the whole thing you were riding with the seat of my pants I don’t know how I would do most yes but some of it was just awesome you guys = awesome 👍
Nice job, awesome views and video work. I live in Grand Junction, so most of these are ones I am familure with. I have not ridden some of the routes you have taken, so I need to get out and RIDE!
That's our intentions with these videos! We want more people out there enjoying the outdoors, and exploring with a good crew! No better way than on an ADV bike - Josh
No motorcycles at all in monument valley when I went in 2018. So in 2019, I was in the same area and road the valley of the gods before climbing the Moki dugway. Valley of the gods is a bucket list-worthy 17 miles that is very nearby monument valley. It’s featured in my “Moto trip 2019 day 3” video. Edit: goddamn that Lockhart area was 👌🏼 Adding it to the list.
Enjoyed very much the 4 episodes of the Red Rocks To Mountain series. Amazing & inspiring footage sceneries. BRAVO and keep on riding those magnificent areas as much as you can. Best regards. Marc from France, 2014 KTM 1190 ADVS !!!
Here it is 1am and I just watched all 4 days. Great videos guys. Lived in Moab for a while and put a ton of miles on my old WR. Living on the east coast now and can't wait for my next red rock adventure.
I'm from the UK and don't ride a bike, but my god this really makes me want to! Cracking series, like many other I've smashed it in one go! Keep up the good work!
Well done guys! Excellent adventure video series! Hard to not watch it all in one sitting! Fantastic background music to go along with the content. The scenery is stunning to say the least. Thanks for putting this together!
Thanks for laying out the tracks for this ride! Myself and 5 others just finished this ride. Would love to chat about our experience as well as perhaps add a few things to help other along the way. We pushed through Bears Ears and camped our last night approx. 150 miles outside of Moab. We did find that we were super glad we made the decision to get fuel and extra water in Needles before the trip down through Lockhart Basin as a flat tire, challenging terrain for late in the ride along with 113 degree temps made the last day quite a challenge!
I agree with the ride to your skill level. I did see some sections that may be pushing my skill level. I love the videos and shenanigans. It’s always great to have a group ride as it alway raises everyone ability. Well me and my trusty stead WR250R hanging off my Sprinter needs to do some south east Adventures. Around Bend Oregon out.
This was a great series! I just loved how it was routed and how you guys filmed it and shared it. Thank you so much. I cannot wait until I can finally get out there and explore these places
You guys are gonna make me buy an Yamaha T700, train for about a year or two, buy the gear i need, sign up some with you and and hopefully go to these places. Great information. Thank You.
Fun. Inspiring. Motivating. The whole video from cinematography to voice-over, storyline to soundtrack... these ride videos keep getting better and better. Really enjoyed it and will watch it again. Off to read the blog and grab the tracks. :-)
I'm 65 and just had a double lung transplant a little over 2 months ago. I worked hard and got myself back in shape after losing virtually every ounce of muscle I had. You can do it too if you want it bad enough. I'm not sure I could do this whole trip either but I can do lots of shorter ones that'll add up..😁 Go for it!!
Super cool would love to try this. I ride a BMW K1300gt sport touring bike which I've ridden cross country. This looks like an entire new ballgame. I would have to work my way up to you guy's trail riding level. Great video fun to watch!
Very cool series. I too sat through all 4 episodes. I'm considering transferring from the road bike world to the world of dual sport/ adventure . I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I'm still torn on what options there are of adv / DS BIKES available at a decent but not too expensive price range.
I enjoyed the series great job looked like a blast. You guys crushed those technical trails. wow!!! couple times I thought “O sh#t this guys going down. But no road away lol.
How about detailing the bikes you used and how you equipped each one and what you thought of them for comfort and ease of riding? Us old guys trying to get back into riding would appreciate it!
Great series of videos guys. Have visited this area twice now and would love to come back again some day, but living 5,000 miles away across the ocean it's not so easy. It is indescribably beautiful and spectacular and would be best done on a bike, although taking my family up the Dugway to Muley Point in a Hemi was fun.
Excellent series! How many miles does that 450L get per tank with the oversized tank? Mine im lucky to get 100 with stock tank and on one part you mentioned 170 miles between fuel stops.
Yeah on this ride I maxed it out around 160-170 miles. On our most recent ride through Idaho I was able to get 185 miles before running out. So you can probably safely and reliably get 150 miles out of the IMS tank. It all just depends on the terrain you're riding on! - Josh
That lockhart section that was "all talked up" is legit hard...sometimes. You guys went through and it looked totally different than when I did it. When I went there was no way an adventure bike was going up that canyon as the last section was only not a 6' cliff because rocks were stacked up giving a very pucker inducing dropped down. Lockhart changes bigtime. That section looked easier but I noticed other sections that were way more washed out and rocky than when we did it two years ago.
been riding the TAT on a 2020 himalayan not the most powerful but handling it very well. Wish it was a 650cc maybe soon . Red Rock ride was killer. Some parts might have been to extreme for me . But great job.
Thank y’all very much for this series! I am really interested in the 690. I currently have a DRZ400SM and a few dirt bikes. I’m am thinking of trading in the DRZ for the KTM 690. I’m also considering a KTM 500 or Honda 450l. I do a short commute to work during the week so long term durability is important. I’ve watched your extensive review and am curious about your set up and long term opinion on the 690. This route is very similar to what I enjoy. You guys are awesome and are not only my go to for parts and gear but also for internet content.
Go the Honda 450L I ride mine all around town to work and then on the weekends single trail rocky hills it’s way better than my Ktm I had and so smooth on the rode and the service intervals are great for a small bike so my much than my Ktm
They all do a great job in almost all the terrains. The smaller bikes like the 450L are a little easier in the technical terrain, and the big bikes like the 790, and Africa Twin are more comfortable on the roads and long dirt sections. The KTM 690 is probably the best middle of the road bike though. - Josh

Videography & editing: 5 stars.

@@rmatvmc Hey Josh, tell them we need another adv series this Fall. *eyeballs emoji*
Well... I was going to watch this over a few sittings. Hahaha... nope. One sitting eye to it being so awesome! Nice one guys.
Same here
Sat down thinking I would watch 2 minutes of this... Had to watch the whole thing! Great adventure.
GOTCHA! lol Thanks for watching. It is one heckuva ride!
Outstanding routes, views and filming. Definitely a “lightweight adv bike” route for my skills.
Thanks for following along with us! I personally loved riding the 450L through this route! Lightweight definitely had it's advantages when going through the technical passes! - Josh

AWESOME. You. Guys are soooo Lucky. Thanks for letting me. Ride along
Great videos guys! Buying stuff from you guys is made all that much better knowing you are all serious riders and ride what you sell. Thanks for sharing!
Just watching this now guys. The scenery is awesome, some places similar to our Outback Down Under.
Need more of these adventures with the 450L and Ktm 500
What a great video!! Just love Utah!!
Epic, you are extremely lucky to have such amazing places to ride.. I can but dream from rainy northern England!
Being from the east coast, I’m unbelievable jealous and downright mad🤔😂
From Maryland; it's worth the drive out if you get the chance!
Another Incredible video. The action is awesome as well as the scenery. The music is perfect and not overpowering. What a way to start my day! Thanks! Was just on some of this last week while in MOAB but only for a day. I need a week.
If you do another video series like this again, I’d love to see more info on tools and spare parts you bring and what you wish you would have brought
Binged watched them all... nice work.
Aaaaand done! Excellent series fellas and thanks again for breakfast at last years FMAR! Hope to see you again this year!
Another great video series. They just get better and better with top notch vidiography and editing. I can't wait to see what you have next...
Well done fellas, thoroughly enjoyable. Made it to the states for the first time last year for only a week from Australia. Did a quick drive nearby this area and all I could think about since is trying to get over there and explore on a dual sport. This has only added fuel to the fire. Thank you
One of my favorites for future trip. Thanks for the details and points of interest.
I just watch the whole thing you were riding with the seat of my pants I don’t know how I would do most yes but some of it was just awesome you guys = awesome 👍
Super great video! I love the old Indian ruins.
Really pleased with your video.. Sure wish I knew how to ride a motorcycle... Views, humor, brotherhood. Made this video a keeper. Thx
great videos guys plz keep them coming , I have the drz 650 only just ran it in ,and iv got a lot to learn ,. a big thumbs up from me in australia
Nice wear abouts in aus I'm in wombat state forest
Great videos. I appreciate your efforts.
That was a lot of fun. Thank you
Thanks so much for making these 4 videos. This looks like so much fun and the scenery is awesome!

@@rmatvmc Good to hear from you and I might give it a try when I retire ...
Beautiful country. I would love to see it
This looks so fun to do. I'm going to Canyonlands next month to hike the Druid Arch and Angel Arch trails.
Well done guys 👍 love your ADV rides hope to see more. Thanks.

Watched all 4 series. Wow guys. Outstanding. Rode atvs in Moab about 10 yrs ago. You guys brought the love of Red Rock home to me. Live in Indiana.
Fantastic series. Some of that is maybe a bit above my tech-grade but man oh man what a great trip.
What an awesome ride
You guys are awesome.
Loved every minute! The videos just get better and better. Thanks for all the details, the route and the blog!!
Thanks! We need you out there with us on the next one! - Josh
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Just say when!!
Really nice videos, binged on the bunch. That’s a lot of work! Brought back memories riding dirt bikes on backroads around Tucson.
Fantastic adventure!👏👏👏
Loved the Western music at the end!
Absolutely awesome dual sport adventure :)

Great series....definitely some new terrain for me as I tend to hang out in Grand Staircase Escalante. Much enjoyed the info.
Thanks for another great series. Well done and seriously motivating.
Great set of vids. Great trip! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful scenery...gotta love the US...
Another awesome series!!! Well done!
Thanks excellent vid, makes me want to get the bike out, wish we had terrain like that in the u.k.
Incredible video, looked like some of my favorite mountain biking trails in sedona.
Glad you enjoyed it! Some stuff that you'd only see on bikes
Great series - Thank you.
Would this be doable on a ITV ? Your opinion?
Great series guys
Who would give thumbs down to this video! Thank you you guys
Loved the series guys. Good job! Makes me ready to go over and ride....
GREAT VIDEO!
This was a great series! I just loved how it was routed and how you guys filmed it and shared it. Thank you so much. I cannot wait until I can finally get out there and explore these places

Thanks for following along with us Bill! Hope to see you out there!
Great videos. I've watched 1-4 so far. Would like to have seen more of the 790 through the tech sections though.
I'll make sure to remind Eric to turn his Gopro on more often next time! 👍 Thanks for watching! - Josh
As a female in her 60s, I am so jealous that I'm not physically capable of doing this whole trip. It looks like an absolute blast!
I'm 65 and just had a double lung transplant a little over 2 months ago. I worked hard and got myself back in shape after losing virtually every ounce of muscle I had. You can do it too if you want it bad enough. I'm not sure I could do this whole trip either but I can do lots of shorter ones that'll add up..😁 Go for it!!

That’s really nice background music that wasn’t overly loud and I can still hear the bikes.
Very cool series. I too sat through all 4 episodes. I'm considering transferring from the road bike world to the world of dual sport/ adventure . I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I'm still torn on what options there are of adv / DS BIKES available at a decent but not too expensive price range.

Awesome
What song did you guys use in this for the vista scene at 2:40? It's great! Fantastic filming!
EPIC!!! You guys Rock! Great series, I must try these routes!
Great series!
Any chance you guys would do some kind of planned ride like this for us local dirt guys?
Man this trip series was awesome! Route was great and really gave me some ideas.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the series great job looked like a blast. You guys crushed those technical trails. wow!!! couple times I thought “O sh#t this guys going down. But no road away lol.

I'd rather watch the ride....I'm an old guy too. Still riding and bought a bike that fits my mission.
Wicked trip I would love to do that smaller bike tho lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁🤞✌️

AND DO NOT FORGET THE FRIGGIN' DUCT TAPE, MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROAD RUNNER- IN CO.

Great adventure. Looks like you lost some bikes from parts 1-3, didn't see the Africa Twin either.
That is absolutely awesome. I would love to do a ride like this.
Would love to do that ride. I've had an 09 klx 250 went to a 13 klr and now I'm back to a 2020 klx 250 ,I think I need another klr.
Excellent series, thank you. Too bad the blog link no longer works. :(
This looks amazing. I really want to do all this.
You guys make great video's. Thank you. Loved he drone footage too. Well done.
Thanks so much!

howd that honda 450 do loaded up compaired to those big bore bikes on the freeways and steep hills?
Those are some really good bikes.
If you don’t mind, what bike performed which areas the best.
