Excellent presentation, The DR650 is an amazing bike and handled the long freeway haul, back roads and trail with ease. I certainly complement you on your skill. I did Keven's AZBAT in which follows Cherry Creek north to Young. It is not big bike friendly with intense rock hopping. It was the most technical advanced trail I ever experienced. I sub'd and will enjoy watching your series. A video link is available upon your request only.. as I do not want to infringe on your series...thanks for reading my comment.
That's quite a section.....you seen Bugs Bunny, the Road Runner.....now just need Willie E Coyote ( I think you heard one a couple days ago ) and if you can find Porky Pig....you will have a carton show. 🤭🤭 In our neck of the world the DR is fondly referred to as The Bush Pig....yours isn't named Porky,.. by chance??? Great work on the side route....it's deceiving for us as the camera doesn't show the real angle. Garth
Great video! We were just a couple of days ahead of you. Started at Pioneer Pass south of Globe on 5/23 and finished at Utah border on 5/26. Perfect weather for the AZBDR! I was on a bigger bike - ZERO DSR/X - so that expert section into Young was not so easy! The big electric Adventure bike was able to do the whole route!! See "Impossible?" video on Amped Rider channel. Love your videos and comments!
@@ScottyADV Good question. Charging was no problem on this BDR. I used the Plugshare app to find charging locations along the route and simply plugged into a regular outlet at night for a full charge overnight.
Very cool video! I just bought a 2024 DR650 six months ago and I‘ve been upgrading it for off road use. I did replace the stock exhaust and the bike is running lean, I bought the ProCycle jet kit but I’m not very mechanically inclined, do you know anyone in San Diego or LA that knows how to re-jet the carburetor?
I usually slow down when I see cows. If they ignore me I go through. If they stare at me I stop the bike until they clear the way. I just show them respect as I am invading their space, not the other way round.
With cattle slow down or stop if need be . DO NOT heard them down the road if a cow breaks its leg or anything the rancher can and most likely hold you responsible I came from Oregon proper etiquette around cattle is important . when you see them slow down move slowly stay as far to one side as possible that tells the cattle they need to go the other side . if there is a cliff you want to be on the cliff side they will go up . If they run down the middle of the road give them space they will most likely go to an area . If they just continue running down the road then stay to one side speed up as your judgement stay on one side or you will confuse them once you have safe opening get past them as quickly and safely as you can . Ranchers now have cameras all over their property and when a main road goes through like a BDR and their cattle are on it they will have cameras and if you just run through them you will be held liable and people have been charged many many thousands of dollars . The ranchers expect us to know proper behavior around their cattle . Most of these cows are used to people going by . I grew up around all of this . slow and steady . If you just stop and stare at them you will probably look like your going to kill them . Keep moving get past go . I have gotten off my bike and walked it through if there are hundreds of them sometimes it's best to walk through or cause a stampede . Sometimes most of the time cows are stupid . Sometimes they will do everything you don't want them to do. Be safe ""RIDE ON""

Thank you! I seen your post on the Facebook group. Excellent achievement by you and your team. Was it easy to manage your charging throughout the BDR?
@@ScottyADV Good question. Charging was no problem on this BDR. I used the Plugshare app to find charging locations along the route and simply plugged into a regular outlet at night for a full charge overnight.
These trails are made for the DR650, the heavier garbage wagons will have trouble without very skilled riders.

You can try Moto Mecha in Oceanside or any dealership. Dealerships are more expensive though. I lam leaving mine stock until my warranty expires.
@@ScottyADV Thank you for the info, I appreciate it.
What GPS are you using? Looking for one myself.
I use a Garmin Zumo XT. There is a newer version called the Zumo XT2.
@@ScottyADV thx, great video by the way. Looked like a awesome ride. Look forward to more. Subscribed.

Scotty, What an excellent vid!Do you do tool reviews? We would like to invite you to review our portable air pump. How can we connect with you?
What tires are on your bike?
Thanks for watching. I am running MotoZ Dual Venture front and RallZ Rear.

Thank you for the explanation! I always wondered what the proper etiquette and procedure was.
