That bird would have been a great footgolf victim if that were me. lol. FOUR!! This really makes me wish I'd have bought a TW this past summer. Great video.
Thanks for sharing your day with us! You do a phenomenal job of showing what small bikes like the TW200 and XT225 are capable of. I recently "downgraded" from a CRF250L with 305 big bore to a CRF230L for my city commuter/dual sport and couldn't be happier. Don't think I'll ever go back to a 300lb dual sport.
Thanks! Yeah, I have really changed my perpective on bikes. My KTM 300 doesnt get nearly the use as my two Yamaha's, I can almost anywhere the 300 can go, albeit a little slower, but I prefer a Trials style of riding more anyways, speed's never been my thing when it comes to dirtbikes.
Commented on your other video but enjoy them all so much that I'm back to blow bubbles where the sun don't shine. You da man dude. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Ride free bro !
Kelly Oswald Haha thanks! I've been working on a new bike video, but in the meantime ive been contributing to my wifes daily vlog. See - ua-cam.com/users/thedonoghs :)
I would never make it to work! Not with that commute. I have to wait for afterwork to go ride the back 40. Your commute trails are way better terrain than my back 40. Breakfast looks, well, interesting! Nice trail clearing too. Slimy wildlife too!
man!..congrats! what do you do for living? looks interesting...and let me tell you something..I want to get the TW200, hopefully in october I can get it...will depend of my job..those trails just to go to the work and back to home uff..I would like to have something like that every day...you know..the contact with nature and wild..at least 30minutes per day..awesome!
Luis Gamez Thanks! I am a software tester for a large electrical company. It can be interesting at times, and sometime monotonous. That's another reason why I like to take the trail detour to/from work. Makes up for all that seat time in the office. The TW is an awesome all around bike, have fun!
Thanks for the comments! Haha, breakfast was fresh orange, apple, cucumber, kale and more juice my wife made. It's a lot better tasting than it looks I promise!
Dale Furno Haha, yeah your right! There is a lot of trails around here to maintain and I don't have that kind of time. I do trim them occasionally, but if I'd rather ride than hack when possible.
+Socal NineThreeFiveThreeSix I think its 1 tooth higher in the front, a 16? I dunno I still haven't checked but thats what the last owner, my Grandfather told me. Works good but first is pretty high. Doable though and does 60.
Henry Bonini it has plenty of power. People larger than you are riding Honda groms(125cc) off road like a dual sport. I have a xr 100 that my dad use to ride 250lbs and it worked and hauled his big butt around.
Yeah, Plenty of power, that is, depending on what you want to do without. You wont be blasting dunes or triples but it'll get you around most woods no prob.

Man I enjoyed watching your commute to work! great stuff 👍
wow you so lucky to be able to ride trails to go to work most people sit in traffic, i bet you don't suffer from depression
+theTDubsKid I've heard it said, "therapy is for people that don't own a motorcycle" :)

Great video! I had a great time watching your day!
TomAndToys Hey thanks!
Dude, nice vid. Love the TW. That's the best commute I've ever seen! Much rather dodge stumps than cars.
+Johntyson Yeah, I feel the same way! If I run into a stump, I've only myself to blame.
those are some intense trails for a commute. that's killer wish i could commute like that
+abe friessen Yeam I'm lucky. I been off it for a couple months due to more work but about to get back out there. Super overgrown I'm sure.
love the video! just such good bikes
Thanks! I agree, one of my all time faves for sure!

klnrgj01 Haha thanks! Yeah the terrain is awesome, wish it was mine :)
Nice video. Living the dream.
Uranus Authority Hey thanks man!
Man oh man. I'd love to ride through some ferns! Looks outstanding!
Nice vid, good ride.
Grouse are entertaining birds :)
+Matthew “fixitquick79” Bridges Got that right! And they can scare the shit out of ya too!

The bird!!!!
Aaron Wildsmoke Yeah, he's quite the character. Still alive!
Love the vid but man if you come off how long before someone finds you? I am jealous, riding there would be sick there's nowhere I can go do that!
You sir, have it figured out.
+79gsonethousand Haha thanks! I try!
Thanks for the comments! Haha, breakfast was fresh orange, apple, cucumber, kale and more juice my wife made. It's a lot better tasting than it looks I promise!
I've made a lot of juice in my days and I've never seen one so green. It looks as if it would glow in the dark.
there's just a few branches you need to cut or move and you won't have to slow down in those tight spots
Dale Furno Haha, yeah your right! There is a lot of trails around here to maintain and I don't have that kind of time. I do trim them occasionally, but if I'd rather ride than hack when possible.
Tdub AND Legos! Man after my own heart. How long have you been single handily carving out those trails? Great vid.
+angela jay Thanks! I've been making trails around that area for the last 3 years or so. And legos are the best!
That bird was a hard a**. What was it?
It's a grouse.
Haha, yeah, pretty fearless, or brainless haha.
I’m super skeptical. That lunch break alone would be like 3 hours long.
Real nice vid man. Tee dub everyday-
No Bounds Yeah its been a great commuter!
Cool
What gearing to you run on the TW? Want to gear mine for trails in Idaho. Tkz.
+Socal NineThreeFiveThreeSix I think its 1 tooth higher in the front, a 16? I dunno I still haven't checked but thats what the last owner, my Grandfather told me. Works good but first is pretty high. Doable though and does 60.
Do you think the tw200 has enough power? I am 6' 200lbs and I do t know if it will have enough grunt to push me around
Henry Bonini it has plenty of power. People larger than you are riding Honda groms(125cc) off road like a dual sport. I have a xr 100 that my dad use to ride 250lbs and it worked and hauled his big butt around.

Only thing i would change is breakfast and if i lived in Washington i definitely wouldn't be growing lettuce and tomatos
Haha, I only put the veggies on youtube.
What tires do you like on it?
I really like the kenda trak masters. They last a long time on this bike and have awesome traction for the woods but still feel good on the roads.
What state do you live in?
Shawn Helgerson Washington State, not far from Seattle.
