KTM 1290 and BMW GS riding the best of the COBDR the right way. With Bill Dragoo

This video shows extensive footage of what I consider to be the best parts of the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route.. (COBDR). Corkscrew, Hurricane, California, and Engineer passes.
Not only is footage of the passes shown to help those researching the route, but I'm also following the legendary Bill Dragoo. Ride along with me, study his lines, and observe how he makes these passes look easy. (Side note: if you do much research, you'll see tons of guys having big problems on the big bikes on these same passes.)

Those are the 3 passes I did while at Dusty Lizard except the opposite direction. So beautiful there. Engineer, I did the year before.

Great video once again. I wish I could have been there with you. Maybe soon I can do these trails. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Gave ya a sub. You deserve it for the hard work. Some people don't realize how hard it is to hit that sweet spot.

Looks like perfect conditions; wet but not raining!
We weren’t so lucky, Corkscrew was very dry and recently graded. NOT fun. Loose dirt and rock. Especially the steep switchbacks were a real treat.
At 13:00 min mark; bill was in left hand track with long sweeping blind turn; def. NOT where I would be. FWIW I think you had the correct line.
Hard tell, but it seems Bill rides with little to no bend in the knees/hips/arms. Anyone else notice this?

I suspect if Bill was in what he considered to be challenging terrain he would adjust accordingly. As this was not challenging to him, he's probably just conserving energy. I do the same.
