@scottwhyte6284 🤣 nice. Thank you making it to the end of the video. And of course thank you for watching. God Bless. 👏

@@silverbackpauly4814 nope. No speakers.

@MrEMann it's an awesome trail that actually goes all the way to the Canadian Border. I haven't followed it out of Arizona....yet. 🤷‍♂️🤔🤠

@biggooddad this has got to be one of, if not the most encouraging comment I've received. Thank you for that encouragement. I really appreciate it. I've heard and read a lot of stuff about pretty much every translation of the Bible. 🤷‍♂️🤣. The unfortunate reality of any translation of pretty much anything is that it is almost never perfect. I actually use multiple translations. The 2011 copyright of the NIV is my preferred, followed by the KJV and the NKJV. I really like using the MOUNCE reverse interlinear New Testament. Which provides the original Greek wording in the English word order. The MOUNCE really helps me to dive into the full meaning of the Greek that was used in the New Testament. Now if I can just find a usable Hebrew literal translation for the old Testament. I'd probably get a headache diving into that but it would be worth it 😃. And the KLR is an absolute beast. It just needs a better rider than me. 🤣

@@TheIronRide Thanks for the compliment, it's just that from that one video, so far, i have found the perfect channel for me. God works in mysterious ways indeed. Check out Les Feldick if you haven't already on youtube and let me know what you think of his Bible teachings. I think you might like him. Les was my Dad's go to for online Bible study here at the house in his last years before he died and now that i have gotten much deeper into the Bible i find him to be very helpful. If you ever get to the S.W. Missouri Ozarks i would love to show you around, I'm almost 63, and grew up riding dirt bikes in the Southern California desert, i love my KLR and believe it or not i still love riding a good sketchy trail. All the best and God Bless!

It's my pleasure

@jonathanbritt so far so good brother. I do enjoy the KLR. cheap and easy to work on. If you get one, the extended warranty from Kawasaki is worth it. I've already used it, and it saved me about $3000.

@advfortheking I appreciate it brother. It took me a while, but I finally figured out what my channel is supposed to be. 🙂👍

@@TheIronRide good to hear, if I was better at preaching I would do the same, only trust myself to declare the scriptures atm. But one day I will do something similar. God Bless

@advfortheking I don't know that I'm good at preaching. 🤷‍♂️ I'm just fumbling through my thoughts on scripture. There was alot of rambling and thus alot of cutting in post. 🤣

@NigelNaughton My channel has had 2 previous names. Started at "Serenity Off-Road" I changed it to "The Overland Cowboy" which I was never a huge fan of. I finally decided on "The Iron Ride." to really reflect the new direction of the channel. Exploring Scripture while adventure riding.

@@TheIronRide awesome 😎

@tucobenedicto1780 thank you for joining us. I'll be honest I'm always a little torn when it comes to closed trails on public land. On one hand, I understand that nature needs time and opportunity to "repair" itself after some significant use by motor vehicles, and I do support temporary closure of trails to that end. Otherwise, the natural beauty I love about trail riding disappears from overuse. On the other hand, you're not wrong. Too much government overreach and regulation also prevents us from enjoying all nature has to offer. I suspect if the trail closures were fewer and further between, and we actually trusted that the BLM agency was, in fact working to better serve the public and not so much the government itself (or in recent, profit from attempting selling public lands as its doing in Utah), trail closures wouldn't bother us so much.

It's always good to see your comments. I have managed to lighten my load considerably, and I've been putting in some sand "training" riding. Lol. Ive also put on tires better suited to sand and improved my navigation hardware. I am already making plans to try another "speed run" of the AZPT on the KLR. I may not fly through sections but it should be a little easier next time. 🤞

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to complete it yet, but I'm not done trying. It is now a personal challenge to complete the AZPT on the KLR. At least, that's the plan 🤠. I appreciate your continuing support, brother. God bless.

Right on. I love the KLR. simple, dependable, inexpensive...almost cheap. Which means I don't mind dropping it and scratching it up a little. Thanks for joining me. 🤠

You might be right. I have changed my loadout. Switched to some lighter gear and got rid of a few pounds of excess weight. I put some slightly more aggressive tires on and upgraded my suspension. Hopefully, that will take me through this section when I try it again. 🤞🤠

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I haven't finished the AZPT yet, but I'm still working on it, one weekend at a time as life permits. I'm glad you got a chance to join the adventure and a chance to ride part of the AZPT yourself.

awe. Thanks dad. 🤣 Let me tell ya it was painful to ride 😋. I've been riding for over 20 years. None of it was off-road, and correct off-road riding feels very wrong to me. 🤷‍♂️😆 I am trying though. I know most of the concepts of riding off-road. It's the execution I'm having trouble with. I'll get the hang of it eventually. I've ridden sand successfully before, but that was unloaded. The weight definitely got in my head. I am going to ride that section again. Hopefully, I'll make you proud next time. 🤞🤠

I learned firsthand about slowing down and digging in. 🤣 I do appreciate the advice. Contrary to what I displayed on this trail, I have ridden sand very successfully before. Long, soft washes, actually. However, I did not have any gear with me at the time, and I had a better front tire 🤷‍♂️. The weight of my camping gear got in my head on this ride. I honestly just needed to get out of my own way. I have switched to more aggressive tires and changed up my load out since. I will be taking on this section of the Arizona Peace Trail again. You'll have to watch and see if I can get out of my head and follow your advice. 🤠. And as always, thank you for joining me.

It didn't start out this way, but I feel like God has called me to use this channel as a ministry. I'm no preacher or bible scholar, so it should be interesting, at least 😆. Thank you for joining me. "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." Proverbs 27:17. Welcome to the Iron Ride.

It great gear. Durable, Inexpensive, high quality gear. I think the water bladder holder is one of my favorite things about the jacket. I just bought the MSR gloves based on the quality of the adventure gear because I've had a hard time finding good Inexpensive riding gloves. So far I absolutely love all of it. I get compliments on it alot too. 🤠

Thank you for the advice. And for watching. But weight has something to do with it. Mostly messing with my head 🤣. My front tire was not helpful either. I have remedied all of those "problems" now I just have to get out of my head and ride it like I know how. 🤠 Getting stuck was totally my fault. I will be taking on that section again. I will push through it a little faster next time. At least, that's the plan. 🤷🤣

Im glad you joined the ride here on UA-cam. Thank you for the advice. I always appreciate good riding tips. Lord knows I need them. 🤠 Believe it or not, I know the concept of sand riding, It's the execution I have a problem with. 🤣 I've ridden long deep washes before but with no gear and a much better front tire. The weight got in my head for sure, and the front tire certainly didn't help. I've recently managed to shed some weight with different camping gear and added tires better suited for sand. I plan on taking on that section again. I will definitely keep your advice in mind. Thank you again. 🙂👍

Thank you ma'am 🤠

I'm glad I could help. I still have a lot of Arizona Peace Trail to explore. It's taking considerably longer than expected 😂. Thank you for joining me. I hope you find the other videos just as helpful.

Thanks for joining me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't have a satellite communication device, but i do plan on getting the Garmin inreach mini 2.

@@TheIronRide That’s what I’m looking at too. Look forward to watching more videos.

Sounds like a good time. I'm making plans for the North Rim. Just trying to decide the most fun way to get there. I may try to finish this route. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone had actually made it to the end of the video. 🤣 I appreciate that. 🤠

Always good to see you in the comments Adam. If I could just figure out how to make a living from UA-cam videos I could be more consistent 🤣. Thanks for joining me again and for your continued support.

🤷‍♂️

The clutch bypass is one of my favorite mods. Making it a switch so I can turn the mod off and on is especially nice. I'm with you, I try to keep the KLR the cheap bike it was always meant to be. I am looking at upgrading the skid plate though. The Amazon special is pretty banged up. I'm not sure it has much left in it. 🤷😅

@@TheIronRide I installed a Enduro Engineering skid plate on my with the optional shock linkage protector. That is a reasonably priced plate that has pretty good engine coverage, but I cannot attest to it's durability as of yet.

@MaverickMotoAdventurer that is the exact skid plate set up I'm looking at. It's a good looking, sturdy looking plate and you can get a linkage guard for not a whole bunch of money. 👍🏼

Thank you for joining me. 🤠

I most definitely have and continue too. I'm working on more adventure riding content right now. 🤠

That it was. 👍🏼

Very cool of him to recommend my channel. Thank you for joining me. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. I'm planning on many more motocamping adventures. I'm already planning a BIG adventures for next year I'm very excited about. 🤠

Thank you for joining me sir. I ended up with a seat concepts saddle covered with the maddog seat pad and and a sheepskin. The seat concepts saddle alone is too firm for my sensative rear end but I do like the shape of the saddle. 🤣 Seems to be doing better. Time will tell. 🤞

I knew someone would show up just for Hidalgo. 🤠 I'm glad you enjoyed the trip and I appreciate you joining me. There will be much more KLR content coming. I'm really enjoying the Adventure bike trips. 👍🏻

That is an awesome history with the area. I'm glad I was able to do it some justice. Thank you for joining me on and thank you for the very cool information. 🤠

I'm glad you were able to join me on UA-cam. I did make it home. 😁I got rehydrated when I had breakfast at an excellent little dinner in Pine, AZ. I cut the trip short because my rear end was sore after 2 full days in the not so comfortable saddle. 🤠 I have since ordered a more comfortable saddle. Just waiting for it to come in. It was a great shake down for my first moto camping adventure. I'm looking forward to more and longer motorcycle adventures.

@@TheIronRide, sounds to me like Kawasaki jacked up the seat design; I had a 2006 KLR 650 & the seat was the one component that needed no replacement, providing all day comfort over multiple days of travel. The rest of the bike... meh. 😆

@wallacerobertsconsulting2894 I've owned all 3 Generations of the KLR great all around, reliable, bike for the price. Believe it or not the Gen 3 seat is possibly the more comfortable of the 3. To be fair most of my motorcycle experience has been on cruises. So basically easy chairs for saddles 🤣. I probably need to toughen up a little. 🤷🤠 I have a seat concepts saddle on the way. Should be a little closer to the recliners comfort I'm used to. 😁😂

Thank you for your long-time support. The bike uses allot less gas ⛽️🤑😊. It was actually very relaxing, only having myself to worry about. Looks like there is going to be many more moto camping adventures to come. 🤠

Thank you sir. I'm always trying to improve my camera work. It's an ongoing thing. I'm glad you chose to join me on the Adventure.

I appreciate the tip. Believe it or not I understand the fundamentals 🤷 I'm just have a hard time applying them. 🤣 riding off-road is totally "wrong" compared to the on-road riding I've been used to for so long. But I will work on it. Thank you again. I'm happy to get any advice I can get. 🤠👍🏻

@@TheIronRide could it be your foot location on the pegs, if they cannot pivot it will make it difficult. Also was about to say: Cowboys can shake their hips while dancing so why not on the bike. Hahaha.

@wishmaster-productions could be. 🤣 actually I do have to adjust my rear brake lever so I can position my feet better. It's also just being new to off-roading a motorcycle. Steering with my feet is just not a normal action for me... yet

@@TheIronRide as long as you have fun doing it.

@@wishmaster-productions indeed. 🤠

The elevation is amazing isn't it? That may be one of my new favorite places. 🤠

Bureau of Land Management

It certainly is.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for joining us. I'm planning out the next adventure now.

I get that question allot. It's a sheepskin thrown over the Coleman maddog seat pad. I got both on Amazon. Woolino Sheepskin Underlay Rug, 100% Natural Australian Lambskin for Baby, Luxuriously Soft Merino Wool, Large, 4 Season use, Flax a.co/d/5iWlYmH Coleman MadDog GearComfort Ride Seat Protector a.co/d/hGOu5dh

@@TheIronRide Sweet thanks! The sheepskin, did you secure it somehow or is it literally just thrown on?

@LordDeadSpider I just tuck the edges up under the seat like a bed sheet. It's working pretty well so far.

@@TheIronRide All good, again, thanks.

What kind of rig do you have?

@@TheIronRide I have a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. 4 inch lift, 38 in nitto mt’s 5.13 gears. I have a RTT on a rack and decked system in bed. Still have things I want to do but can definitely camp and explore.

@Shawn King holy smokes. Your better equipped than I am. Very nice!

Thank you for joining us. I didn't know that particular junction had a name, but I can definitely see why it would be called chicken foot junction. The only info I could find about the ranger cabin and watering hole I got from azoffroad.net. I'm afraid my Google searches didn't reveal much 🤷. If you have links to any other info about it, I'd be excited to check it out. I had to use my 200mm lense to get the pronghorn. They ran right across the trail in front of the jeep and I was too slow to a closer shot 😅. Luckily they decided to keep an eye on us from a nearby hill 👍. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm excited to get back out to it and find some more cool stuff. 🤠

It is unfortunate that most spots like that have some bullet holes. 🤷

Good to see you in the comments brother. Apparently the AZPT can be run in 7 days if you just run it. My exploring and filming slows me down considerably. But I have no regrets so far. Well, except missing the turn to the Gold King mansion in part 2 of this series. 🤣 but I have a plan to correct that. 🤔. I'm excited to get back on the trail and see what I can see. 🤠
