I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched this video. When I can’t ride, this is what I watch.
Hi Ian, thanks for taking 55k of your closet friends, along on your solo adventure. The scenery was absolutely amazing, it felt like I was along for the ride. The photo of Crankshaft Crossing was my favorite.
Safe travels and Happy Adventures, Rich in Pennsylvania
Omg the film production is flawless. Perfect
Ian. You are the Ken Burns of motorcycle adventure riding. Your narration, stills and videos are equal to the best I have seen.
Wow, thanks!
I absolutely enjoy Death Valley and it is a very special place to be able to explore on a motorcycle. I need to get back soon, thanks for sharing your adventure.
Beautiful trip and great editing. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great vid. I’m from Chicago and it’s hard to believe places like that exist and are right here in America
I've learned more from TH-cam than TV and school combined.
Thanks for taking us along, I’m 61 and can’t wait to start adventure riding!
Best adventure motorcycling video I’ve seen. Well done.👍
Fantastic!! I live in South Africa and quite regularly ride out to places with similar scenery such as the Cedarberg or Tanqua karoo.. favourite thing in this world is to get out into the middle of nowhere and take in the scenery and bliss that only motorcycles can give me.
Ian, your videos just get better and better, and I can summarize this one in one word, and it applies to every aspect of this video: EPIC. One of the very best I have ever seen on TH-cam, and I have seen lots of excellent ones. I have seen still photos of Death Valley but not much more than that, and you capture its remoteness, barrenness and vastness, along with its undeniable rugged beauty. Just so beautifully shot between the video and still photos (which were fantastic, by the way), and the information you shared along the way about its history was perfect. Simply an amazing say to spend 40 minutes, I am just blown away--thank you so much for bring this to us.
thank you. means a lot
Just wow! One of the best touring by motorcycle videos that I've seen. Great job on the editing and production of the video also. Thank you for sharing.
You put together an excellent adventure video that showed us some breathtaking locations and their history. Really enjoyed your balance of motorcycle sounds, music and most of all your narration. Your channel content is excellent, it’s evident that you’re passionate about motorcycles and put in a lot of effort and research with every video you make. I love getting Big Rock Moto notifications….thank you 🇮🇪
Interesting vid. Good job. Having lived on both sides of Death Valley I've ran most all those roads and passes. You are right, in a matter of minutes you can be almost alone or totally alone. Far away from the maddening crowd. Most people don't have any concept of what the real CA is like. Very beautiful. Each season brings about a whole new perspective of the lands. Enjoy the ride, the Tenere and life.
Well done brother. That was partially a battle but well worth it. Nice focus. I know Bishop well for fishing ha but not the rest of it. Those massive rock fissures and squat high altitude trees, all very awesome! 👌🏼 - oh and thanks for circling back to read the sign about that salt mine project so amazing what men did 100 years ago in the middle of nowhere with nothing!
WOW, what a trip! This has to be some of the most breath-taking scenery in California. Experiencing it all on a bike, only seems to escalate the already profound & unique beauty of the landscape. Your video making skills are also truly masterful, and you did indeed "make it count," at least for me, that's for certain. You are truly blessed live in this part of your country and most especially, to have such unhindered access to such uncommon, but incredible riding opportunities. Thanks for sharing, & cheers from another Canadian fan.
Fantastic journey! Thank you for the inspiration! You deserve an academy award for "Best."
Nicely done...the right music and dialog...and the scenery!!! Thanks for this post!!!
Great adventure vid! Thanks for sharing Ian!!
That cross plane twin produces a very soothing soundtrack. Great vid and beautiful scenery.
Hi Ian
Greetings from the UK
Thanks for taking me to these awesome places.
Stay safe
Cheers Barry🏍
Enjoyed your short edit and the long edit even more. You have a knack for this. Keep it going, Ian.
Thanks a ton!
Outstanding ride. Thanks for sharing such dramatic and amazing scenery.
Ian is living the dream .
Thoroughly enjoyed....Great work Ian.
Beautiful area. I went through there back in 1988 when I was in the Navy. We drove from China Lake to Beatty, NV. I went through again 32 years later with my wife and kids on a 48 state trip. It had changed a little from what I remember. I remembered seeing cactus and old trucks, cars, animal skulls etc. None of that was there when I came through unless I just went the wrong way. I entered from Ridgecrest, CA and went to Stovepipe Wells. We made a stop in Ballarat and checked out the old ghost town.
I would love to move to Ridgecrest or somewhere close in Nevada to be able to explore this area more. I love it there, my family thought I was crazy lol.
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to film these rides, excellent footage.
Love watching the ride. Love the sound of the bike.
I usually don’t leave comments but wow. What a ride. The t7 sounds amazing. Thinking about trading my himalayan in on a larger bike. Maybe? You have the most informative bike reviews and I really appreciate it. Thanks.
Nothing classier than your excellent video and the sound of the T7 playing to a piano interlude.
FANTASTIC video! Thanks for a great video. Keep up the great work!
That scenery will never get old. If it looks impressive on a GoPro lens that squeezes perspective, it must look stupendous in real life.
I'm not even interested in buying this bike but I'm glad I watched this video. Informative, clear, thorough and absolutely stunning views! Love it man, great job! Soo envious of your abilities and opportunities to ride.
I grew up in So Cal and now live in Colorado. I love hearing your narration about San Jacinto, San Gorgonio, Kelbaker Road (I believe near Kelso Dunes), and all of the other stuff from my old stomping grounds. I grew up riding ATVs and dirt bikes in Glamis, Dumont, Pismo, Alpine, Ocotillo, and more. Your channel is fantastic and I am so fortunate to have come across this as I enter my (new found) dual-sport and adventure motorcycle years.
Awesome
Pretty old and beat up so I'll live vicariously. My riding is limited to short trips on my TW. Nice work.
Reminded me of my time in Death Valley in Toyota Camry. Entered thru South pass and made it out of North Pass. That is the most memorable day of my life. And this video was uploaded in by Birthday. Kudos to that.
Outstanding video. I felt like I was along for the ride. Great pictures, great route and your narration is spot on. Best riding video I have seen. Gary Whitehead. 👍😀🏍
Wow! What a great video, my favorite TH-camr, my favorite bike and some gorgeous scenery, love this.
I’m riding DV for the first time at the end of March. It will be a 3-day trip on my FE501. Can’t wait. This video has made me even more excited
Fantastic journey with you through these epic landscapes. I loved seeing 91 Mph come up while you were opening it up on the dirt...... and those twisties.....and that burble of the Tenere...
Excellent film.
All of your stuff is very authentic. Great resource for the moto community
great video! I really enjoyed this one, thanx!
Finally got a chance to watch this long edit. I’ve got like 5 minutes left but wanted to comment. This is absolutely epic Ian. Thank you for taking us along on this one. Your knowledge of the area and enthusiasm for the scenery and the terrain is both infectious and educational. The sound that T7 is making is absolutely magic, if sex were an exhaust note that’s what it would sound like. I definitely prefer this longer more in-depth and personal edit to the shorter one. Glad you made the best of the trip and decided to put this together, now go do a another one! Thank you and cheers from the east coast. Also, love that Thoreau quote at the end! 🤘🏻👍🏻🍻
wow. thank you
Nicely done! Made lots of notes and mapped out a few roads as I was watching. Planning a trip in the south west this year but leaning towards the Moab area. Thanks for sharing!
Very inspiring Vlog. Looked like you also had to deal with smoke in the air along with heat which can make things a bit more difficult. I love the Owens Valley and have dirt biked for years all over in those areas. Now I'm more in to road rides but considering the new KLR for treks like this one. Really a good job you did here.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Great video as usual Ian.
Long time viewer from Australia
The Country was so wonderful & unbelievable
I expected Billy the Kid to ride out on his horse.
This is truly fantastic scenery
Thanks so much truely just fantastic stay safe Cheers
Simply mesmerizing...
The scenery is amazing...
Rocks everywhere lol
nice trip and great job of bringing to us
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE VIDEO ADVENTURE! THUMBS UP!!! BEAUTIFUL SCENERY!
I've been watching a lot of your motorcycle review videos, and stumbled on this one today. Having been up the 395 many times, in a car, LOL I just have to do this on a adventure bike. Need to do it BEFORE I get too old to actually do it! Thanks for taking us along for this beautiful ride. About RebelCanuck with the decaf coffee, the key word was he "woke up in the middle of the night". Not the best time to be drinking caffeine 😊. Would have been my choice as well . Thanks again for the stupendous video!
Such a good video, thanks
You’ve inspired me again. I ride alone 99.% of time. After watching your video, I’ll be hitting this part of CA within the month. I live just a few hundred miles away. Totally ridiculous that I haven’t hit this area yet.
Have fun
Beautiful!
Cool video and amazing photos. Thaks !!!
Just finished watching everything you had to endure trying to traverse rough terrain, the exhaustion on your voice, the amount of concentration that it demands.
recipe
Really enjoyed this, and the history of the place’s. Good video 👍💯
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. You were on roads that look perfect to travel on solo on my GSA. Thanks for the insight.
Nice trip & thanks Ian
Thanks for the great Video boy I like the way that 700 sounded .
Hi, your videos are absolutely excellent, well presented, honest to the point and informative. Thanks for sharing.......
Thanks for watching!
Good trip log and great video. I love Death Valley! Done several motorcycle trips there - can't wait to get back. Titus Canyon, Lippincott Pass and the Racetrack are high lights.
On one trip we camped near a sulphur mine and tossed chunks of pure sulphur onto the fire. Burns with a blue flame, very memorable. Cheers
Just a great video to watch 🏍🏍
exciting adventure and spectacular scenery. thanks👍
I enjoyed the video very much - great job on the editing. You showed the great scenery very well. I've enjoyed your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks
Great production work. One day I'll try to figure out my cruise control. I wanted to take a trip like this (Appalachia), this month but it didn't happen. Thanks for sharing. The rain off-road sucks. I'm glad you adjusted.
Beautiful film!
I loved that Death Valley sign, 38oC , was previously a high temperature, but now the UK, you know, that little rain soaked island in the Atlantic Ocean gets temperatures of 40oC +
Great video Rock!
I admire you for having the fortitude to keep your bikes so clean How you do this is beyond me
i just wash them before they get too dirty
Love your videos man👍💙
Thank you!!
Thank you!
I did the CA BDR earlier this yr in April… what an epic trip. I recall Titus canyon and other sites that you were able to capture. Great video.
That is awesome!
great content, watched the whole video
I live near you...we are privileged to have all of this within reach. Congrats on this well done material of your adventure.
I love the intro, thanks
Amazing
Can't wait to see more of these long videos again from you! Especically w/ the new African Twin!
Hello. I am an Norwegian who has been seeing youre video. I like this video and you are helping me bying a Tenere 🙂 Thank you. Great video btw. Had been fun to drive whit you that route.
Very well done.!
I love this bike, seems like you had a lot of fun.
Believe it or not, a lady friend of mine in Prestwich, England just sent me this video link, as I tried to explain to her my three-day bike trip this past weekend. I, too, went to Death Valley. But not on a new Yamaha 700 Tenere with ABS, heated grips, navigation, computerized everything...but on a primitive, classic 1968 750cc Norton Commando.
I told her "It was the Best of Rides...it was the Worst of Rides." Sat and Sun were sublime! California City to Randsburg, to Trona to Furnace Creek. Some dirt roads but not the miles you were on. Painter's Palette slot canyon was otherworldy! Explored Dante's View, then back to the Ranch at Furnace Creek. Monday awoke to gale-force winds and encountered a 20-mile blinding sandstorm that sandblasted the chrome, polished alloy and paint off the front-facing surfaces of my lovely Norton. After (barely) surviving it, the monsoon rains came, drenching me for 120 miles back to California City. I was verging on hypothermia as I was shaking like a paint mixer trying to dismount. Can't wait for next year!
Your video production, narration, and knowledge of the area was brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Perhaps next time I'll opt for a newer bike...maybe only 50 years old! LOL
sounds like an amazing adventure
Very cool video adventure thanks
The music in this vlog is 🔥
i love those canyons
Nice video! Makes me want to get out on a ride.
What a privilege to ride in such a beautiful area! I'm from South Africa, and we have similar regions and rock formations. You should visit at some point for a ride!
Great video Ian!
Thanks
I just watched this again for about the fourth time. Always great Love your content.
From Omaha Nebraska.
The colors of the rocks and the sun shining between them is absolutely stunning beautiful. Unbelivibal, thanks very much for sharing! I am Swiss and know those beauty-hotspots of Switzerland… but those rocks you have there, the desert kind thing, we don‘t have that here. It is really incredible the different colors in these rocks! Amazing, how beautiful it is!!! I‘m impressed!
thanks!
Amazing intro. Great content man. God bless
Great video. I have been through Death Valley a couple times in a car. i was working in RidgeCrest at China lake from Canada. We used to drive to san Bernardino ( where I was almost shot by a money guard lady...long story, nothing sinister) and LA. Racetown 395 and Competitive edge motocross park. Great drive and went up to mammoth while on the way to Tonopah. I'm hoping the Tenere 700 world raid comes to Canada for 2023.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Stunning views through that whole area, what an adventure. We have some similar places in Australia but on a smaller scale and most dont have a road through them so you have to hike. :)
Stayed up late to catch this!
The "Air Hawk" seat cushion works great to prevent sore bum. The poor mans "Air Hawk" is an air pillow the is routinely used with a sleeping bag purchased at any sports store. I've tried many seat covers = sore bum after the first day and then each hour after that.
My air hawk got old, tired, and popped. Used a sleeping bag air pillow for my bum, worked good.
Thanks for sharing beautiful 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
