Once upon a time, dirt roads were the only roads. In Wyoming there are more dirt roads than almost anywhere else, so Ari and Zack decided to step back in time. They found two vintage dual-sports, a 1975 Honda XL350 and a 1969 Yamaha DT-1, and tried to ride all the way from the eastern border Nebraska to the western border with Utah, without their tires touching pavement. The boys faced snow, wind, and mud for days, and at the end they came home with another epic Common Tread XP adventure.

I have literally never seen a dirt road in my country or around the EU where you could drive on with a motorcycle. It's always rangers only, or on foot, or maaaaybe horse. That's it. Never a motorcycle. Reason i bought a street bike. Because the cheap dirt bike to practice on, would not be able to be used around here.Unless of you pay for a slot on a dirt rally parcour.
So i would say, dirt roads to ride on are already extinct in some countries :(
Sad, cuz you guys make it seem fun to do as a trip with buddies :p
Truely epic trip, i would pay to suffer to this 😁 super impressive the "old" bike did so well
In the Return, are we going to get Ari doing another ASMR engine rebuild?
I did a lot of riding with Steve McQueen on Happy Jack road.
I love American idiocy
Back in 1977, the 6th-best vehicle in the very first Dakar Rally (and 3rd in motorbikes) was some complete amateur using a Honda XL 250S with a custom bigger fuel tank and radiator but you think that spending a weekend to do 500 miles in Wyoming on a 350cc is a challenge. Some of the stages in that Dakar Rally included 2-day efforts of over 1400 miles.
There are a lot of big-network “reality” shows that could learn a thing or two from CTXP. No hokey, contrived plot devices; no moronic, manufactured “drama” - just genuine, highly entertaining, beautifully shot, intelligent content. Zack and Ari get a lot of the credit, of course, but Director Spenser Robert and the rest of the production crew should be equally proud. Your stuff is a master class.
No hokey, contrived plot devices; no moronic, manufactured “drama”
I mean... carrying bikes over paved roads seems like a contrived plot device. But I take your meaning. Get some charismatic hosts, set up the rules and let it rip.
You hatin' on the trio dawg?
Then it wouldn't be "Reality" TV. It's nothing new. Shits been happening since at least 92 and The Real World. It really took off with Big Brother and Survivor.
@@oswurth8774 No, hating on the Motor Trend Channel.
Omg Zach’s David Attenborough impression is epic!
That opening!
It is spectacular.
It’s uncanny 😂😂😂
I love these guys! Attenborough tribute was great!
Zack sure likes his BBC programes, great great stuf, really enjoyed it! Pleas watch your backs fellas, ruined backs are not good if you want to ride bikes! We would have loved it evem without carying the bikes and cheating it with a carpet :) Take care!
As someone who literally just picked up a 1975 Honda XL350, I appreciate this video so much.
Just picked up a 78 xl350, can’t wait to ride it properly
That brought back some memories from the early 1970s. I was in the U.S. Air Force when I bought my NEW Honda XL350 which looked the same, except for a blue and silver tank; and another airman I was friends with bought a new Yamaha DT-1 250cc just like in the video. We were stationed at a base in Georgia, and we would love woods riding and fire road racing on the red clay dirt. The sound track of the 4 stroke Honda with the 2 stroke Yamaha was very familiar. I eventually built my XL350 to be a clone of the XL350 motor in the XL350 that won the 'Baja 1000' that year. The winning XL350 was built by Bill Bell at American Honda Racing. Bored and stroked to 449cc, 12:1 compression, needle bearing cam, and much more. It was a beast after the upgrades.
The production quality of these are insane! Props to the camera crew, Zack n Ari for making great videos!
Hey Drewski! Do you ride?
What a crazy place to find you!
Yo Drewski!!
drewwwwwski!!! play more battlebit Lol
Simple suspension and low hp engines are more durable than today's very advanced suspension systems and high HP engines ....... Current machines are faster , lighter , jump farther AND are way more expensive ( to purchase and to operate) ..... But are they actually MORE fun ? 🤔👌
I wish there were hundreds of these long adventure videos to watch 24/7
Not Zack and Ari, but check Itchy Boots if you want hundreds of real-life solo adventure travel vids
btw you can check mario iroth too
There are.
i really enjoy watching these two go on adventure in this show. anyone can suggest me site that i can watch every episode of them ?
c90adventures is a good watch too
Their tough perseverance throughout all the weather and road conditions is remarkable, their enthusiasm is something greatly to admire. Other guys would have given up a long time ago.
The relationship/friendship between these 2 friends is something I have longed for my entire life. I admire your friendship Zack and Ari.
Just insane, the quality of this, these two are a national treasure. And thanks Revzilla for giving them a platform to shine
Most of their prowess actually comes from their time at motorcyclist magazine which did everything they could to keep these two back.
Can’t wait to see restoration videos for both the DT-1 and XL350! Really amazing job Ari and Zack! Seeing you guys in action and not giving up was so frickin wholesome!
Yes! His last restoration was art
Yes. Do this please!
Agreed. Give new life to those old beauties!
I wonder if they ditched the front fender of the Yamaha back in the trail when they removed it 🤔…
@@arrow0872 I hope not, it took me almost a year to find one for my dt1
I watched this for a second time (11 months later) and even watched the rebuild of that DT-1 several months after the trip. My 1st "real" bike was that same model DT-1 on the back trails thru the woods and power lines of Alabama. I can attest 1st hand to its legendary durability. This video brought back a lot of memories/nostalgia..... and made me very proud of the bikes, and you guys for doing such a crazy ride. Made me feel 14 again! LOL. Good on you guys! Thanks for the flash-back.
Guys this was an absolute gem. Literally feel like I was on the trip with you! The highs, the lows - and just when I thought the limits had been reached, you just kept going. Can’t say thanks enough!
I don’t know if anyone from the Revzilla team will read this, but thank you all for putting out such amazing content! Zack and Ari keep putting themselves through hell for the entertainment of others and to show why riding the iron horse is an incredible experience. Great job to the production team as usual and keep up the phenomenal work!
We read 'em! Thanks for watching. We feel lucky that we keep getting to make big videos like this.
@@spenserrobert7154 Yes please keep up the great work! We love you guy's videos, they are appreciated greatly and thoroughly enjoyed!
This gives me huge Top Gear special vibes. Back with Jeremy, Richard and James on their adventures with budget cars that always surprised the viewers with their strength. Thanks guys, this is awesome. I'm a biker and always looked for a show like top gear but with bikes, and you guys are delivering. This is so awesome.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING JEREMY,JAMES,AND RICHARD!
If these could just get a bit offensive and include a lot of cocking about I will love it even more
All they need is Spurge!
I'm sure those tires were on pavement more times than they could count.(buying fuel??) And they never slept under the bridge first night or they would have been beaming to show footage of themselves doing dinner and in sleeping bags which they never had. Absolute waste of time and I could only watch halfway through this trash creation. Some of the best fiction on YT!!!
This is way more genuine than top gear… since top gear constantly manufactured drama
If nothing else, this really puts into perspective what Noraly/Itchy Boots and others like her are doing. She makes it look so easy, but man it isn't. Excellent adventure, as always.
We're going to ride across Wyoming! It'll be fun!
*10 minutes later*
So we're sleeping under a bridge in the snow...
*3 minutes later*
Wow ok I didn't think it could escalate _that_ quickly but yeah.
22:15 the army of snowmobiles really drives home the fact that it's cold, huh?
Location stats. Pros: is Wyoming. Cons: is Wyoming
37:00 That fun time when "Why isn't this working?" becomes "How was this working for so long?"
This is why people respect her all over the world. Another reason why it's annoying when insecure non-riders keep putting her down. The disrespect!
Those old girls kept on chugging. I have a 71 CL450 Scrambler... she may have her rust, dents and running issues, but she keeps on chugging along! Great show. MORE!!!
All the videos you have produced together over the years really are inspiring, encouraging and highly entertaining.
It's a wonder how you guys haven't been winning Emmy awards!?
These guys have the earned praise of bikers everywhere, and that is way better than awards.
@@lovelessissimo you nailed that!!
I imagine it's because UA-cam videos aren't eligible for Emmys. They should be nominated for Webbys if that's still a thing though.
You guys nailed it. I rode my Yamaha DT 175 on every dirt road in Sweetwater County growing up in the 90's. Watching this felt like I was teenager again, helping my buddies out of the mud, climbing the loose sandstone hills, exploring the dessert. You were also blessed with all the unpredictable and ever changing weather this state has to offer.
My first bike was a XL350 inherited from Dad. It was billiant old chook chaser and I rode it all over the bottom half of South Australia. You had to take the back roads 'cause it wouldn't do highway speeds even laying on the tank. That view of a dirt road over the bars with the skinny little tank is pure nostalgia.
Wondering if you had issues with fouled plugs due to the Autolube system? I had a DT 175, it was my first full size bike. I can't remember what year it was, but it was identical to the one in this film. What a great bike except for the Autolube system. Pulled that crap and mixed my own gas, it was a runner after that.
u might like the motorcycle china series of cmilk and lauwhy89
Exploring a Dessert?…..all you need is a spoon.
@@banjopete Yeah, they sure had good catering!
This production made me realize that i've lived here my whole life and not even thought of this. me and my brother are going to attempt this on our 92 xr 250s now thank you for the wonderful idea
Love the fact these old bikes are involved, instead of those state of the art expensive modern ones. Nice video!
Im still grateful for revzilla bringing Ari and Zach back together I seriously can't thank you guys enough
Another almost an hour video but feels like 15mins.. Kudos everyone behind this beautiful content, hands up to the duo zack and ari!! 🎉
Just saw this! Wow! I was 16 and bought my first bike 75 XL350. Silver and blue. My boy Tom lived down the road. He had the DT1. We did all the fire roads in New Haven. West Rock Ridge & Baldwin Dr Baby! If my folks only knew. 😮 Thanks for bringing me back.
As a guy who lives in Wyoming 75 milesfrom the east gate of Yellowstone this was pretty cool to see. Also very cool to see you guys at the Albany lodge. I shot my first elk about 15 miles down the same road you cane down.
The dirt road you called happy jack isn't happy jack road. It looks like the road that connects happy jack to interstate 80. You chose one hell of a challenge. One thong I've found using a map like yours for hunting was it was wrong more than it was right. I'd love to try something like what you did, awesome video.
My first thought was, “no way…they’ll cave at the first Interstate overpass.”
What I didn’t remember was how nuts Zach and Ari were…just another great adventure with trials and tribulations augmented by Spencer Robert’s supreme direction and editing team!
Great video, great idea, great people.
That is definitely a testimony to the reliability of those old japanese enduros. I had the 75 xl350 in 1982 never put it thru that much. Had a RT1 360 in 1978 as my first bike. You guys really represent the two wheel sport we love!
No fancy gadgets just basic reliable machines, I kinda miss that.
Wow! Just found this…….fantastic!! Have a 1974 xl-250 just like yours, wonderful machine! Cool trip, genuine adventure, no BS. The TV guys could NEVER produce such a pure honest documentary. Those bikes truly are the heroes. A testament to Japanese engineering. You guys have some big cohones to ride those bikes through that country at that time of year…….but I understand, I just hit 60 years of age, and still feel the pull of adventure and the open road….my hat is off to you fellas, well done and don’t stop, your friend in Texas, John.
Still have a 75 Xl 350.I had it since 1980,still ride it on occasion, although not often as a 69 yr old, with bad knees. Still love that bike.
“What a ridiculous way to travel.” But does it get any better than this? Onward! 👍
i can't help but leave a comment. I have seen you both do several travels, and exciting adventures for many years... but this one was different. This one would bring anyone to their breaking point. It made me feel good to see your friendship grow, and leaning on each other when needed. Reminds me of the bike trips I've taken with friends, and how we need them just as much as the machine we are riding on (Although, the two beasts you had just wouldn't quit - extremely impressive). Thank you for persevering, thank you for documenting - I'm sure thats a trip you will remember forever.
Hey! We have this genius idea! Let's cross Wyoming at the end of Winter, on only dirt roads. It won't be too hot, and it won't be dusty. Brilliant.
Roxy is such a vibe, and exactly how I'd feel after those loooong days! Please Roxy on the recap!
These two guys are the perfect duo for anyone looking into the bikes and culture. They are how we should be towards each other. I always enjoy these adventures.
These guys have been friends since they were about 6 years old. You can't fake that kind of history.
@@countryjoe3551 Oh I know.
I live in central Wyoming (Fremont County), and have several friends who push the limits of the no-pavement challenge on many a weekend trip. Such a great tradition that needs to be preserved! Makes for a lot of creative trespassing, too. Excellent video, fellas.
Me too! How you liking these -35 temperatures? Lol maybe some day our paths will cross.
@@Seeker887 How about that -- one of the few! We're thankful to be back above 0 out here, though the roads remain slick as snot. Hoping the runoff lasts longer this year, with all this moisture we've gotten. We sure need a long, muddy spring! Hope y'all stay warm out there.
Yesterday, I watched their sidecar racing video.
And now I enjoyed one more wonderful trip from these young riders.
This is the most amazing trip and teamwork I have ever seen.
Hope to see more and more !
Those bikes are so badass. Those old girls didn't know the meaning of the word quit, and neither did the boys. Great job, guys.
This is the kind of friendship we all wish we had. If you do, consider yourself very lucky. It's always lovely to see you two together. I hope you guys keep doing this for a long, long time.
True. I wish I had a friend with whom I could engage in bike trips
As a newer rider, I really enjoy these. Never knew what was out there, but these style adventures have shown me there is a lot to look forward to
After a 8 year break from riding, it's videos like these that have inspired me to get back into riding. I've been riding again for 3 years now, on two different bikes!! I'm a Benitez too by the way 😉
I can't get enough of these guys (love your personalities in these episodes)! My 6 yr old son loves watching these adventures as well (he got a 50cc dirt bike for xmas). Keep up the content!
I had a brand new 1976 XL350, Best bike I ever had. I loved that bike.
Zacks lumberjack jacket, snow, and two traditional Canadian cottage bikes in the middle of nowhere! Amazing adventure as always. Keep em coming! 🇨🇦
I click everytime on Common Tread, what's next route 66, Baja, across USA never touching a freeway or only staying in 5 star hotels(electric bikes).I know that what ever you guys come up with it will be something I can't even imagine.
I don’t ride a motorcycle yet I’ll watch anything that Ari and Zach create. The motorcycle aspect is just a bonus. Inspiring
You should get into riding. If you like watching motorcycle content then you'll love actually riding.
I agree with Jax, if you are able to ride, do it! Saying it's a life changer is an understatement
@@jaxagerYeah, I just did that and I concur. Started watching about nine months ago, got my license and bought a bike. Best buddy also got his and man, having a small adventure with the guy you’ve known since we were six is quite something when you’re all grown.
Wow.. testament to the motorcycles used. Thank you, Ari and Zack, for the adventure.
1969 a group of us rode our Honda scramblers from central South Dakota to central Wyoming. Stripped lights and fenders, raced a scrambles, then put them all back together and rode home. 3 day trip, sleeping on the ground.
as a 1975 Honda XL350 owner, this video warms my heart :')
I had one that was red and black also. I still love the black and red colors on a motorcycle because of my girl. I grew up in eastern South Dakota and rode many times with my dad and family to the Black Hill and beyond. When my girl finally gave up the ghost she had 37,000 miles on her and she was completely used up.
My heart actually hurt for the past and that motorcycle. After the XL I got an XL350R that only lasted 24,000 miles.
I was born and raised in Wyoming and experienced all of the fun stuff you guys went through on this adventure. It’s always something in Wyoming, if not the mud you experienced, it’s relentless wind, or extreme cold and snow. There’s like a week or two during the summer where conditions are perfect for an adventure like this, usually. Now I live in Washington.
a week or 2 is stretching it anymore or maybe its the fact that im alot older now Wyoming has been my home for all of my life it never gives a false sense of hope it will take care of you for life but you have to be willing to work hard love Wyoming
I traveled through Wyoming a few years ago and had a pit stop in Jackson Hole. Must’ve been the perfect summer conditions cause it was absolutely amazing!!
Hoping to plan a ski trip out there sometime :)
This somehow is more genuine and engaging than any of Scratchy Wellys 'adventures'. The charm of Vintage.
Charlie, Ewan, Claudio and BMW have NOTHING on Zach, Ari, Spencer and these two classic bikes. This was such a great adventure. I am blown away that they didn’t give up. Thanks for making such awesome content.
Don't know how you two keep topping yourselves with these adventures. Epic. Entertaining. Inspiring. Props to you both, the bikes and the crew.
This was absolutely beautiful, as a film maker and a motorcyclist i give infinite kudos- i wish i could join you guys for an adventure like this. The alaska episode was spectacular in the same regard that this was; i really like this series of adventures on vintage bikes. The chemistry between you two is so so so good. My favorite part is that these episodes arent even about the bikes really, but rather the journey that they take you on and the experiences that you go through
I had a 72’ dt1 that needed some love but a trip like this was what it really deserved
My words
Great ride, adventure and film.... not me in the winter! Lol!
I’m opting out of the culvert section!😅
I’ve said it before, but videos like this are one reason I keep shopping at Revzilla. It’s not hard to want to support these kinds of endeavors. Great work, Ari, Zach, and crew!!
"the more we push on, the more we realized, the bike were tougher than we were" idk why, maybe bcs i do adventure my self, but that line hits hard
You guys have such a good dynamic, I honestly only watch this channel for these types of trips, it’s the experience, adventure, working together and the thrill of finding and finishing an adventure. Great work everyone involved
You should check out c90adventures. Dude rode from Alaska (+ crossed USA west to east and back again) to Argentina on a Honda c90. Is now driving Utah to MOAB in a MiniJeep. Well, trying to, at least.
Same here.
After 2 mini bikes I graduated to a DT 250 in 1974. After 8 years of fun my ridding buddy told me "don't worry, that would make a great bike for doing hare scrambles". 2 weeks before the race I upgraded to a IT 250 and began the long journey on many dirtbikes.
Fantastic video guys, anyone who watched to the end thought nothing of all the corny stuff you were doing, we've all been there.
Another great adventure! Ari and Zack inspire me to take awesome trips with my moto-brochachos. Teachable moment #3 in the episode- ALWAYS throw a spare clutch lever and shifter in your bag of tools. Use the OEM as a spare when you upgrade to a farkled one. They weigh virtually nothing and can turn a major issue into a minor repair. Please tell me Ari is going to eventually do a post-ride teardown video autopsy. (edit- found it!!)
Ok, so far I have wished I was riding with you guys, but... this one made me real glad I wasn't. It was ridiculous...ly entertaining. Thanks guys.
Classic Sir Attenborough impression in the first bit i must say :D
I very much enjoy all your videos, guys. These adventures are special. Please, keep producing them. Anyone who has given these bikes a try (and similar ones) can confirm we don't necessarily need more expensive high displacement bikes to have fun.
What legends are made of....Ari and Zack take adventures to other levels with a smile per mile
Way back when, I owned a 1968 DT 1.
It was one bad ass bie back then.
When the new 1973 DT3 came out, my buddy and I bought two of them, consecutive serial numbers.
Again, the Yamahas were indestructible, both were 250 cc
Ran many endures and a few motocross with them.
I'm 82 now and bikeless, but, I still have a few old trophy and a lifetime of memorys.
One of your best works to date. Love the intro, Sir David would be proud. Zach giggles like my 7 year old daughter…it never gets old. Thanks for the good time.
I live in Sheridan, WY at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. In 1995 I bought a new Kawasaki KLR 250 dual sport motorcycle. I road that thing all over the mountain fire roads. It was like a mountain goat. Never let me down. It didn’t realize it wasn’t a $26,000 ADVENTURE Bike. I miss that Kawi. My youngest son wound up with it.😎
You two are great. I watch your video's all the time. I can't get enough of your adventure's.
I grew up riding the old 1977 xl175 that my aunt used to have. It was about 25 years old when I started to ride it. I think about 20 people learned to ride on that bike. It's amazing. It always starts in a few kicks. My kids will probably be riding that thing in a handful of years. Hopefully I can go through it with a fine toothed comb soon and it'll go for another 40 years
wake up babe, new ctxp just dropped
These two guys when still on Motorcyclist Magazine until now on RevZilla is my inspiration for riding a motorcycle.
Not only ride a motorcycle, these guys have a story about their iron horse and a trip.
Really enjoy this video..
Hope Zach and Ari always make a great story about their trip and their motorcycle.
Those guys have an awesome friendship and like their motorcycles, they will last forever. Modern motorcycles do not last that long. The vintage bikes were in my opinion, better built. I kind of envy you guys. What an incredible journey, a fun adventure. Great work guys! What an adventurous pair of friends that are having the time of their lives. Enjoy life to the fullest is what I say.
Man you guys rock I had Honda xl350 back in high school I rode it on the roads and any dirt roads that I saw but nothing like you guys did MLR
You guys are legendary. That was one hell of an adventure. The true spirit of ADV travel on full display
I have a hard time explaining to people my age(59) that off-roading is the spice of life for my friends and I.
You guys did a great job. I happen to own and compete on a number of XL350 side carb models. They are great adventure bikes.
I wish you would have made some wind guards for your hands. 4 zip-ties and 4 discarded milk jugs make a huge difference winter riding.
That tube at the end looked brutal.
got a 73 yamaha 125 enduro when i was 5. couldnt even reach the ground. after a year or two i learned to use the curb or a rock if i needed to stop. 😮 it was so sweet. only had 28 k on it when my moms friend gifted it to me. ❤ much love for that bike.
A week ago I watched "On Any Sunday' for millionth time and now this. Awesome!
For future trips like this, bring two 6" x 10' rolls of Red carpet for traversing the 'lava'.
This reminds me of riding my $75 Honda CL175 all over Iowa's gravel roads many years ago. It also brought back memories of traveling through Wyoming on my '75 CB750. Wyoming was beautiful as I passed through, on a warm, sunny summer day back when I was young.
Thank you for these images. That last one was blissful.
Sounds lovely
One i will also go for road trip with my friend you guys are my inspiration
The mighty DT1 and iconic XL. Never rode an XL, but ripped around my father's DT1 for a day. Way cool, the gearing had it always in power band!
More & more & more of this please. Excellent
No flat tires? Pretty impressive😂. You guys are amazing. Thanks for inspiring people to keep riding!
You two are great, you really are! I love your perseverance and positive, can do, attitude. Videos like these epitomize the best of motorcycling.
As to the bikes, those from that period really are great and it is some compensation for being old now that I was able to ride those bikes when they were new.
It really says something, that this was your hardest trip, considering the Alaska Adventure!
both of those bikes are fantastic and ive always wanted them, great to see them in their natural habitat.
My first bike was a 1974 xl350 looking back I believe that was the most reliable motorcycle I have ever owned and I've owned a number of them enjoyed your video brought back a lot of good memories of my xl350 mine was silver and blue
Incredible. The adventure, the perseverance through nature's worst, the story telling, the camera work and edit... all of it. Insanely good job, guys
You guys are the best. Not only are the adventures inspiring, but the friendship you guys have is also.
These videos are fun to watch, and its so much easier to live vicariously through this medium from the couch :)
My first bike was a 1974 Kawasaki KE175 - an awesome dual purpose bike. This video brought back good memories of that bike.
Just when I think you can’t get crazier, you amaze me once again! Very cool! Good job! As I am from Iowa and visited Wyoming a number of times to ride dual purpose bikes, I got to tell you, summer is a much better time to go! We rode mostly in the Bighorns, XL600R, 2 up with my wife of 35 years (at that time) on the back! You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work.
Wow. Just, wow. How you guys keep as upbeat as you do is remarkable, it’s just such a hard slog at times. Your trips are heartwarming and uplifting. Thank you
Guys this is a fantastic adventure, thanks for making me part of it, just by watching.
As a Wyoming boy, I have to say the following. Fantastic video and I loved every minute. Also, Wyoming was kind to you this time, she often punishes those who challenge her a lot more than you showed (and you showed a grueling slog for a large part of the trip). It makes me miss my time there going into the back country with only what I could carry on my back. Yeah, I'm old.
What you two will do for us…OUTSTANDING! Not hard to tell you guys rock! The bikes too!
That was a brilliant film I loved when ye were trying to fix the Honda in the night with the snow.
I had a XL 350 as a teenager looks smaller than I remember.I did do some great non trail exploring on it though. Did a bit of pushing at times too.
A beautiful episode to brighten the morning unexpectedly! Love the content guys!
You have to make more videos like this !!!! That's better than a Top Gear ! Brilliant hosts are amazing to watch
The amount of effort and dedication you guys put into videos. I am just grateful for the entertainment you provide. I am a big fan you gentlemen.
It was good fun growing up with these bike's.
Front wheel not turning was a trip down memory lane.
The Sheriff Department seemed to enjoy helping and now have another hit story to share.
Very Proud of the Both of you!!!
Film crew as well.
Thanks
I did a trip like this on my DRZ400 in 2018 from the North Carolina coast to the Olympic Peninsula. I tried my best to stay on dirt and I remember a 58 mile dirt road in Wyoming through ranch country that was absolutely blissful. Cheers and great video!
This is the riding should be. you go with whatever you got in your hands. Kudos to both Ari and Zack, and also folks that mounts the "Gladiator"! Looking forward for the next trip, peace and love from Jakarta buddies.
Wow that is awesome guys thank you for sharing those videos it brings back many I was fortunate enough to write the 350 Yamaha but my friend taught me how to ride that was the first bike I a road I'm 58 years old now but I still remember the good old days😮♥️♥️😍💯👍👍
What a great video and journey. And as they said at the end, about the inevitable demise of dirt roads, I feel the same about videos like these, and I am just happy that, for the time being, we still have adventurous and passionate people that put all this effort into creating something inspiring. Thanks for all the work!
