I just found this and watched this 3 or 4 times already. " Life is short and you're dead a long time".
Now plan to ride it...
I watched it twice myself I’d like to watch it from my handlebars the third time
Once we are born of flesh n blood we never die we either burn in Hell for all of eternity or we enter into the kingdom of heaven for eternity.It’s our choice to be born again and choose where we spend our lives,just believe and trust in Jesus Christ and he will give you everlasting life in heaven.Im sure heaven has awesome trails and KTM’s 😁👍🇺🇸
Finally a professional video (and rider) covering the greatest dirt bike adventure on EARTH!
excellent
Juan, I thought you were professional with your videos too... you just need to stop flying planes and make money from UA-cam instead :-)
blancolirio I’m trying to get in contact with someone about the tour and realistic trail difficulties. Is there any way I could contact you about this?
Day 1 has some rocks and nice hill climbing, if Day 1 just uses less than 50% of your riding skill, you'll be fine. Some of the Alternate single track is harder.
I ride with younger and better riders than I, so cardio and weight lifting is my weapon, then I can help them when they gas out from picking up their bikes, lol.
Thank you Jimmy Lewis for entrusting your gear to Giant Loop's adventure proof packing system! Your advocacy and support of our tiny company means the world to us
Is that a Coyote or Great Basin on Jimmy's bike?
John Howard its a coyote. Great basin is too much storage for bikes like this
Check out my Hot Springs Heat Shield field-fix for my Coyote Roll top bag on my 2013 KTM 500 EXC: ua-cam.com/video/q5q0ULcnoOM/v-deo.html
GL, THANK you for your luggage, I did the W TaT in 09 with your first version, great stuff(your bag!!!!)
This is three years later, not tiny anymore hey?!!! Great products keep them coming.
There is a bunch of N. Idaho that is skipped here and the route never even gets to the Canada border. On my bucket list, nice video.
Really enjoyed this Jimmy, it was a great adventure we all could enjoy. I am Just about 70 now and was impressed to see you when we went to Baja in 1981 to race the 1000 for the first and only time from BC. Any time riding any where is awesome in my experience and you have captured that again in this film. We all love riding and you know it!
Thanks for posting this.
Yes, the northern trails are the challenge. I ride near the Ruby ridge area alot. Brushy and challenging. Thank you for a great tour!
Thanks for touring the best state
I drive through Pocatello every week for work though I live in Utah. I can tell from the freeway there’s some incredible riding up there.
Just stumbled across this video, bloodey loved it!! Cheers from Aus
Awesome video - thank you!!!
I am interested to learn more about your bike setup and riding/camping gear selection (both in general and specifically for this trip).
Would you be willing to list out the upgrades you have done to the bike and also detail some of the gear that you use? It would be awesome if you could take the time to make a short "walk around" video about the bike setup and your gear...
Thanks again!
That's funny, I'm at Priest Lake watching this and I see the sign Priest Lake 1200 miles. Long journey
I loved this video! Well made
Wonderful stuff Jimmy, happy to share this in the magazine.
I now have a bucket list and this is the only thing on it.
Outstanding video--one of the best I've ever seen. I cannot even begin to imagine the effort it took to put this together but thank you so much for doing so. The scenery was spectacular, and it was just a perfect blend of talking and riding. What an adventure, and my only regret is that it wasn't longer--thanks again!
Just listened to a podcast today about the tour of Idaho.
I had never heard of it.
Amazing video.
I am stoked and this is on the bucket list
Found this after hearing about Carrie Barton's experience with her team. Great video! Thanks for posting it. I have to show this to my riding buddies and add it to our bucket list.
Thank you Jimmy! Great overview. After watching you on the switchbacks, I see I need a lot of practice! The belly flop on the rocks was classic. I did that times 10 when I attempted Big Bear Run.
Great presentation. My riding buddy did this tour last year, and said about 10 words about it, so I figured it couldn't have been that great. Now I realize he was just being understated.
That was awesome 👏🏻
That was an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing.
What an awesome video to document a bucket list ride!
Awesomely done. Awesome contribution to the lightweight ADV community.
Man, what a ride!!! Need to make a plan to get out that way soon!
good one. i live in idaho and didn’t know about this. good work.
This is an amazing film. Well then. Thank you so much for sharing this with us
What an awesome ride!!!! Rode with Martin a few weeks ago and wow what a neat guy!!!!
Awesome, awesome job. Love it!
Excellent Jimmy. I have made that water crossing that you took a bath on many a time. There are some nice boulder bombs in there as you found out. I have never been snagged by one but a few in our group has from time to time. Of course we weren't on heavy laden bikes either.
Thanks for doing this. I will have to man up and do the tour soon.
damn those knobbies are done at the end. Great video, I'm inspired to try this thing
This was absolutely AWESOME!!!! CAn't wait to get home and give this a shot!! Just waiting on the moving company to come grab my household goods so I can get on a plane back to Twin Falls
Awesome vidio Jimmy, I think I may have just put this tour on my bucket list
Great video. On the bucket list. 👍
Great video. So well done. Very pro. Makes me want to take that ride.
Great video!
If parts of this Tour was rated as "challenging" (or what did Jimmy call it -- more than helping than he would want another day of?) by a Dakar Rally finisher, that means I'm a long way from tackling it any time soon. Excellent production, editing and perspective by Jimmy and the crew.
Fantastic Video! I'm stoked to be attempting Magruder here soon! Definitely a goal to work on my technical skills to be able to do the Tour of Idaho one day!
Riding Purity
Kool my man!
Very well done...very nice...thanks...
I'm way excited now. Thank you
Thays why i love Idaho man. I live in Idaho city every weekend I am on trails like that
This is awesome! It is my dream to do that one day!
Excellent video, well done, and I liked the music for a change, good selection, and a little more narration would have made it just over the top video. Well done to all who were involved in this fine production. I now which I were younger and of better health and with the funds to make such an ADVENTURE, AS THIS IS STATED TO BE~!~ Looked great for a younger man that I am.
Really cool video guys you did an awesome job... 👍🎥
What a luxury of a vid!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the awesome video. I'd like to make this ride happen some time soon
Awesome video! Man if that doesn't bait a person into wanting to do this run, I don't know what will. Awesome video, did I say that already? Awesome!
Awesome video. Would love to check that out some day...after I hit the gym maybe! :)
Now imagine driving a fully loaded Dodge Ram dually haling a trailer full of rafts over the Vinegar Creek bridge at :14. Yikes. Been there, done that. Great video!
Awesome ride brother! Unfortunately most of what you rode is on fire this year..... Most will take snow fall to be put out!
Amazing video, watched the whole thing in bathtub🛀🛁 😆🤣,
Great adventure!!!!
Don't suppose you can direct me to details on how you dual-mounted 2 Voyagers, and how you got the wiring to them for signals, AND what that joystick looking thingy is in the top right of both Voyager mounts? That looks perfect. And of COURSE, LOVED this video. We're moving to Idaho in a few years and this video has been saved because riding the state, end-to-end is on my bucket list. GREAT video.
Well done bro nice tour
Great ride report, thx for sharing, wished I was there. He He
Hey Jimmy, What is the gear/Supplies you use for trip. Navigation setup? Thx
views should be way higher, great job
Thanks. Quality viewers over quantity!
How did you mount your voyagers side by side? Was there a special mount for it? Great video
Where did you get the maps for the tour? My dad and I are going but it’s hard to find good maps
looks fun definitely !!...i gotta do it
Absolutely fabulous production, awe inspiring route and scenery + good genuine people. One question I have is was the bike set up with a regular or recluse clutch. After an off on a hill/clif/turn the pickup looked like the bike had a regular clutch. From what I understand that recovery would be near impossible on a recluse. But at the end of the video the side casing showed the recluse.
What is more greater to get out into nature clearing the mind and enjoying the fresh air, God has created this for our enjoyment
Beautiful 🙏👍
Fantastic! Thank you.
Hell yes!
Awesome!
What all did you take ? Be specific . What didn't you take you wish you would have ? What gps's did you use ? What was the longest stretch in miles between fill ups ?
Getting lucky is always a good thing.
Love it!
Once you make it all the way to Priest River/Priest Lake up by Canada. Then what do you do? Did you have arrangements there to load up your bike and head home? Do you ride back?
Well done, my riding buddy and I had planned to ride the TOI in 2012, but he couldn't do it, so I rode the CDT instead. Have you found any new magic for your feet? To me, that is the hardest physical aspect of rides like these. Wet feet next to a hot motor for hours makes my feet look (and feel) like boiled chicken.
Have not but this is an awesome subject to tackle to night on Tech Talk Taco Tuesday #87. I do have some answers though.
Great video, great adventure!!!!! Why two trail tech's???
I'm no doctor, but those feet look like they could use some help lol
It's a KTM; of course you had issues. You need to "Karry Two Mechanics"-KTM; Bad ass video, superb riding!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I noticed you're running a Rekluse clutch. How would you rate the clutch for this type of riding? (like/dislike) I just installed the Z-start pro in my 09 CRF450x. Won't get to experience it until spring due to back surgery. :(
I have them on most of my personal bikes and they just make technical sections easier and one less thing to catch you off guard when set up properly.
Hi there , can I ask what GPS unit are you using and are you following GPX routes on it ?
Awesome video. What bike are you riding?
Hi there. An amazing ride. Me and a friend are based in the UK so not that easy to bring our own bikes. Is it possible to hire bikes anywhere to do the ride. Thanks. John
There are some companies but I'm not sure the bikes would be equipped properly. I'd suspect through some of the social media groups involved with the TOI you might find a private party willing to help out.
Awesome video. Thanks so much. Hey QQ: What are those two screens on your hands bars? Both GPS? The mounts are so clean. Brand?
Yes they are. Trail Tech Voyager.
You ran two TT GPS units in case one failled in the back country?
That was awesome. By the way though, it’s Pocatello not Pocotello.
It would be cool if they built some small cabins or even small shelters to get out of the rain .
Cool video...
I was gonna say thanks for that, But I like to complain, evidently... (sorry, you might have to read the comments now!) No, really, THANKS!
@@DirtBikeTest HaHaHa
I think you got your money's worth out of that tire. ;-)
So what tires were you running with such varying terrain?
How do i go about riding there? Do I need to set it up or just show up and ride?
Read ride reports on ADVrider, prep and plan, then enjoy and get worked by this epic trail!!
What tires did you use ,nise setup,
Great vid! What bag is that on the tail? looks handy
I wish I could remember...Wait, I remember the company but now I'm remembering they said that this video wouldn't do much to promote their products. If you are really interested in this, email me @dirtbiketest.com and I'll get you taken care of.
YOUR MOTO IS KTM 500 ? THANK YOU , FROM CORAL SPRINGS FL USA .❤️❤️
One bad dude for sure.
Found this in quarantine today...love it. Do not attempt on a 1200 or 800cc bike...please.
What would you do different on bike setup/equipment? Twin Voyagers, for redundancy or separate functions? That rear tire looked really gone at the end, I thought I heard you mention a tire change at some point during the route but doesn't look like that happened. Nice video by the way. I am assuming this was ridden in 2016 since it was posted in June 2017.
Nothing different. Different zooms on voyagers and for spare. Same tire whole ride, not an issue. Yes 2016.
What size tank did you use, 4g or 5g, and carried extra? I'm wondering if the 4.1g and a 5 litre fuel bladder would be enough for the long sections considering the 500's fuel injection and good mileage. Don't think I would like the 5+g tank.
5 gallon, would not carry if I did not have to, but even on one long section I took some.
Thanks Jimmy. 41:33 It looks like you got your money's worth out of that tire. Did you have buddy tracking turned on? With 2 Voyagers you can make sure you never get to far away from yourself. (Delirious rider humor)
What kind of camera is that on the side of your helmet? External power supply?
Looks like a Contour model 1500. I think they went out of business around 2014.
he forgot in the credits to mention his scott steering damper.
Awesome! Thank you. Hey why two gps units?
Different zooms and spare.
Life IS eternal with JESUS CHRIST
1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 KJV
JOHN 3:16 KJV
EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV
How am I just finding this???
Come to Uyuni salt flat - Bolivia
Where can I find the GPS route?
