Classic advertisement for the fact that you don't necessarily need the latest in 300cc two-stroke European technology to ride high country single track trails. In fact, he seemed to have little to no trouble with the downhill switchbacks due to the size and weight of his vehicle. :)
Weight to horsepower ratio is one of the most important parameters, but low weight wins every fight when speed doesn't matter. In the end, if a bike is dropped we go to zero speed and kill lots of time trying to get that weight moving again. We must have the strength to erect the weight and push it thru obstacles too.
So true. He says "I'll get out of your way". By the time 51 gets around the switchback the 110 is gone. When we were young we rode those 90's everywhere. No gear at all.
@@OffRoadRider15f ..I think I will. Just got off the phone with a custom sprockets guy. 68? Tooth rear sprocket. Some Knobby's and a low mount fluted exhaust.. basically a clone of the old Honda Trail 55s that Herb Uhl started with in Utah.
That is so awesome what you do I'd love to be able to do that I'm 52 years old and ride a xr650r but I live in Tennesseeor I would come help you you are awesome brother keep up the video keep up the awesome work for God bless you brother
Nice one Dave. Funny how long you could follow him without him noticing... Not much peripheral vision in the switchbacks. Seeing you coast for so long makes me think of mountain biking. It will be interesting when electric dirt bikes with good power and long range start coming out. We will see a lot more wildlife and follow unsuspecting fellow riders. Keep riding!
I cant see where your ride would be all that much fun... no doubt one's eyes must be glued to the trail directly in front of the handlebars as the beauty of the valley goes wizzing past almost unnoticed... Id rather be on a sure footed mule... less noise, more leisurely pace, you can talk to a mule, and you are less likely to need a noisey chainsaw that scares the deer away.
I concur some unskilled rider’s are laser focused on the few feet of path in front of one’s front fender. Good Off Road Riders have a much larger field of view. Safety requires riders to see other users or a fellow dirt biker coming the opposite direction. Looking farther ahead slows one’s perception of speed down. Allows the rider more time to react. I encounter lots of wildlife and your statement motor’s scare wildlife is not accurate. Or supported by many Scientific peer reviewed studies of dirt bike’s passing by. Dirt bike rider’s are not a threat to wildlife. The more stealth one is on your approach does cause alarm for many species. Chainsaws are by far the most efficient way to clear downfall. One doesn’t have to look far to find non motorized trails which have returned to nature. This hunter on his trail bike was turned back by downfall I cleared coming the opposite direction. IDPR Trail Ranger’s use dirt bike’s to clear motorized multiple use trail’s. USFS has Trail Crew’s who use dirt bike’s to maintain trails. Responsible backcountry dirt bike trail rider’s have one or more chainsaws in their group. Bucking the downfall, clearing brush, benching trail, building bridges… Sad you take offense towards those who volunteer to maintain access to Trails on public land. I am offended seeing Trail’s returning to nature or closed. Concentrating use instead of dispersing use. I prefer to get along with other trail users.
That was hilarious... a hunter being hunted... you were in stealth mode, but I'm surprised he didn't hear your heavy breathing because he had no helmet on. He just needs a gun rack like you have for your saw, then he could take you out and maybe even be able to do so one-handed while not stopping his bike to do so😆
you guys should grind down your steering stops to make this tight corners....I can almost make a 360 with my ct's rear wheel in place. I know I know...safety warning...if you dump it because of ground down steering stops....you shouldn't be riding ! Ive never had an accident because of it. All mine are ground down....love it.
That was awesome. I grew up riding my Dad’s CT110. Hunter was doing great. Reminds me of my dad…no helmet, no cares, just out cruising.
I still got my Honda 110, I should bring it up to Idaho and ride with you
Yeah I love the hunter on the reminds me when I was a kid I had a trail 70
Nice video, he was negotiating that trail very well.

i have been overthinking it all along.
That's Graham Jarvis, it's the off season :)

You should!
@@OffRoadRider15f ..I think I will.

might havebeen interesting to see you keep up with the CT

@@OffRoadRider15f The riders that cut the switchbacks obviously do not!

My steering stop’s are turned in. I don’t know the rider on the Honda trail bike? I’m unable to pass on your advice to him.
Where is this area?
Idaho.
What saw rack do you have?
