Riding the 2019 Rampart Range Spring Poker Run With Dual Sports
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- This was my very first organized ride event I have ever done. The Rampart Range Poker run usually takes place every spring and fall and costs about 25 dollars to enter. There are lots of prizes to win and food to eat. You can choose the short course which is about 20 miles or you can do the long coarse which is 40ish miles in total. They change the route up every year. This Poker Run took place in early June but Colorado decided to have some cold weather that day but still was lots of fun. unfortunately we didn't do the long course because Kyle's Honda broke but we still made it back for the prizes.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to sign up for the next Poker Run!
filmed in June, 2019

Nobody laughed at your coolant joke. 😂 I did.
haha at least someone did 😂
hey that me!!! i’m in the video no way lol 😂 i was working with same at the table in the pink boots 👍
Haha nice!!
That looked hella fun! And you are sooo lucky to live near all those trails and campsites! 😍✌🏻🇨🇦
indeed lots of fun, yeah pretty crazy it's only 25 minutes away. thanks!
It’s fun to watch, as I’ve ridden those trails a thousand times. Yelling when near rocks “gun it”!!!
glad to hear. nice hahaha 😂
LOL! Hitting the stop sign was plain awesome! "Whoops.. sorry"
haha I bet so many people hit that stop sign 😂
Great job! Don't feel slow, you easily out lasted a LOT of those guys! The Dubs did very well!
thank you! yeah it's all good either way, it's just for fun, some guys take it really seriously though. indeed, I can't wait for the next one
Yeah!
Your out here on a Tdubb ? And the best line that I'm still laughing at.. "Easy there killer !!" Great video Wes..
haha yeah that guy was tearing it up just to go 10 feet thanks!
Wow. That looked like a blast! Thanks for the ride along. Your videos are awesome.
Haha no problem, thanks for watching!
Is not always about being fast, but is always about the ride, great job bud
indeed! I just like to ride at a comfortable pace, much more fun for me and less likely to get injured. thanks
The motorcycle club I belong to has been putting on a poker run since 1972. I have never seen a off road poker run before. Excellent video as always.
oh wow that's quite some time. yeah pretty neat doing it off road. thanks
@@TDubsKid Our club started in 1919. Chartered with the AMA in 1926.
Thanks for that! I love that you left in clips that were maybe a bit awkward - falling in the rut, the rock “climb”, etc. It wasn’t a video just to make you look great, but to take us along for the ride.
Glad you enjoyed it! haha yeah I want to show the whole story. thanks!
Hey I recognize some of those trails! Gotta love Rampart, Rainbow falls is pretty good too
haha awesome! true that, they are both neat
6:44 ops Sorry :)) and those noises sound when you fall and lift your bike :)) love your stuff
haha thanks glad you enjoyed it 😂
You were following me in at the beginning of the video. and I was the one who shouted tbubs!!!
haha nice! 😆
You find the most random stuff on your adventures... Love it! :-)
Oh, also some truly remarkable locations!!!!
Tell ya what, when I get to the States I've gotta get you to show me some of these awesome places.
haha indeed! there are always surprises. for sure, let me know 😀
👍Never trust blind corners at Rampart! Good vid!
true that!
Thanks for posting , always enjoy your videos.
thanks for watching! 😃
You rear break squeaks because the water crossing allowed dirt to enter the drum. Sometimes just taking it apart and cleaning everytbing will fix it but often the brake shoes are contaminated and will need to be replaced. It's a good idea to address it though because the contamination can lead to excessive wear of the drum (your wheel)
ill have to check it next time I have it off, I don't really mind the squeaking though
Just FYI chains don't stretch. As it wears each link gets a little more slack which gives the illusion of it stretching.
thanks 😀 👍
Do RC .. sorry you are wrong.. chains do .. lay a new chain flat on the garage floor..and bend it in a horse shoe .. when it’s really worn it will make the bend .. when new they won’t bend much.. they break down around the pins.. Been building bikes over 40 yrs.. I worked at motorcycle shops.. raced bikes.. if your sprockets are worn your chain is usually shot also.. you should always change them together otherwise you ruin them sooner..also clean chains often and lube them.. they last so much longer also properly tighten them.
LOL "Sketchy McSketcherson" :)
😂
Great video. Looked like a great ride too. Awesome to see all the dirt riders out having fun and helping each other. Thanks Dubs.
thanks! it was lots of fun! for sure. thanks for watching
That was great tdub. Looking forward to seeing you do it again 👍🏻👍🏻
hey thanks! should be doing it again this fall
How many miles do you have on that bike?
right now, 14,400
Love your videos and I love the TW. I’ve currently got my heart set on the CRF250L Rally, but every time I watch your videos I have to talk myself out of the TW all over again! The only thing keeping me from the TW is the speed, heavy traffic on my way to trails worries me. Thanks for the great content and also never stop editing in the squeaky sound when you bump into things, it’s the best! Haha!
You can get a used one and drop a 225 6 speed in it from an XT. Gets you an extra gear and top speed you need. Can even bore it a little too 250. Keep low end too. I'm currently working doing this to mine.
hey thank you! the CRF250L rally seems like a cool bike. yeah it's not a fast bike probably better to go with the CRF if your worried about the speed. the 225 swap is a neat idea but does require a bit of work and you have to source an engine. you can also do a big bore kit on the rally. just depends on your riding style, budget and height. haha thanks!
@@zac0912 yea that's all, drop while different engine in, I'm sure that's easy and cheap. The shop you buy your engine from will probably will throw in a 4 to 8 hundred dollar aftermarket shock and give you a 300 voucher for a suspension guy to modify your TW forks too for free too
All that and the TW still won't be the bike the CRFL is.
@@64maxpower didn't say it would be a crf. Just gives you a bit more top end. Cheap if you do it yourself buying a used motor. I paid 150 for a running bike, they just trashed the fork. Paid 100 for another. Made all that back selking the speedo and a few other bits off the bikes. Weight difference is nothing, so nothing special needed in way of suspension. There's a guy that sells output shaft extension, which was the only hard part to the swap. Check the forums. It's really more for peeps that love tw. Definitely easier to just buy a bigger bike, but if you love the mountain goat, it's an easy swap.
That sucks about your buddies bike . You need to keep goin or lose your momentum over some of those ups and downs . Loved the end cut so AWESOME ! ! !
yeah he seems to break something every time we ride haha last time he dropped his bike and broke his shift shaft internally somehow. yeah, defiantly could have used some more momentum, I was just trying to take it easy that day. thanks!
GOOD Times for most ! ! ! GREAT CAMERA SKILLS TOO! :o)
haha thanks!
Sucks for your buddy but for some reason, and I can’t put my finger on it, that was one of my favorite videos you’ve made. I enjoy them all but that one was definitely top shelf 👍
haha, yeah I felt bad for him. oh wow glad you enjoyed it! much appreciated 😃
Nice video, I’m jealous of all the trails you can ride. I’m not sure if in another video, you fixed your rear brake squeak. If you still have the squeak...remove the rear wheel and use a flap disc and clean up the drum, edge to edge, swap in new back brakes or clean the old ones with brake cleaner. I’m a forklift tech, and drum squeaks are common in my life, lol.
thanks! yeah so many great places to ride out here. yeah I have not fixed it yet. I could for sure do that but I don't really mind the squeak if i'm honest haha
I really do love your video's. Mahalo and keep on plugging.
Don't worry about the Rats.
You know the ones who know everything but yet to publish 1 video.
I love that you love God.
Mahalo, ke akua,
Lester
thank you kind sir! God Bless 😀👍
@@TDubsKid Your biggest fan. Aloha Braddah
Poker runs are a blast. Kool ride. I guess if he slowed down your crashes are less intense. Winner winner chicken diner. Around bend Oregon out !
for sure! true haha. thanks, have a good one
What camera do you use? Been looking to upgrade mine
it's a gopro hero 4 silver
Hey question! I’ve been wanting to go ride there but have no paperwork for my atv, do you just pay or do you need paperwork and permits n shit? Im used to going to dacono its just $20 and a helmet they ask for. Thnx!
hear it's just about 20 bucks for a year, you get a temp permit then they mail you stickers and a card then can ride any ohv trail. they don't care about helmets. I have seen 3 small children riding an adult atv all at once with no helmets. pretty scary. no problem!
You need to send the TDub to bed earlier. It's taking too many naps on the trail. Love the videos as always.
haha that's for sure not staying up late and partying for tdub 😂 thanks!
Thanks for the video. That looked like a fun day of riding.
hey no problem! sure was, thanks for watching :)
Hey bud, have you done a video on your GPS? I know I’d be interested...
Awesome video! Looked like fun. 👍🏽
hey not yet I really need to do that though it might take a while to make but ill do it someday. thanks!
@@TDubsKid I second that. One of the main reasons I haven't bought one, cause I know it take forever to figure out. If you ever do, include your tips, tricks, hacks, etc... I'm sure you've learned a ton using them as much as you have
I will indeed, if I make one I want it to be very good and useful.
Looked like fun!
haha sure was!
your videos kickass! thanks for sharing :D
thank you! 😀
wow dude what an epic video. I love the edits and sounds
thank you! glad to hear you enjoyed it 😃
Looks like a blast!
true that!
Love the channel, your making me want a TW!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoy the videos! They are lots of fun
Awesome as usual mate😀👍
Keep well young man👍
thanks man!
hey ive been thinking about buying a tw but i can only get the 125 version in my country would you recommend it? great video btw :D
hey it seems pretty cool but not a lot of power, as long as you don't need to go really fast it should be great, really good gas milage too
thanks! 😃
Thank you, fun watch.
no problem! thanks for watching :)
Ha.. Busy day. Cool action
indeed! thanks
That looks so fun dude!
It was a blast, thanks!
11:15 You know, You say that, But... probably not.
How about something like a ct90/110 (Postie) instead?
Mt lemmon was quite the challenge, for Blue even before my throttle cable broke.
I know it's not (Totally not) a grom, but it's kind of like a Groms Grandpa.
Looks like a blast though, Good video!
haha it's possible maybe. and those should work. oh wow those bikes are really neat. true that, thanks!
great video , i always wanted to make this format, i just loose my train of thought during the ride, so the stuff its so random it makes no sense !
thank you! yeah I just say stuff without thinking much of it then edit it so it makes sense haha
That’s awesome. We have nothing like this in NE Ohio.
thanks! dang that's lame
Looks like an awesome event 👍 great vidja Buddy
it was pretty neat! thanks man 😃
Thank you for your videos!! I ride in the same area and it helps me learn new trails, tips and tricks. I hope to start seeing more female riders! I'm looking forward to getting a TW within the next few years!
no problem! thanks for watching. very cool! such a cool area to ride. for sure. that would be cool, such a fun bike
Nice vid! Poker runs are fun! I agree even though its not a race it totally feels like it. I just did a 90 mile poker ride and my buddy showed with his Harley Davidson Sportster. Video comes out next Tuesday if you wanna check it out. Keep up the cool vids man!
thank you! for sure, haha I just got use to being passed constantly. cool Ill take a look. thanks you too
@@TDubsKid I am right there with you with being passed. At first I felt like an amateur but I'd rather be safe and keep riding then a trip to the ER or break my bike :) Thank you for checking out my video 😊
nice video felt like I was riding.
hey thanks! 😃
TDubKid How does that shinko 705 front tire handle in the dirt
I have the shinko 244, and it does great. not sure about the 705 though
Looks like a blast, I'd love to go on my Kawasaki 140G. What mirrors you got, I love them and want some
for sure! and that bike would do great, they are the highway dirtbikes handguards and mirrors. pricey but well worth it
@@TDubsKid Sweet, thanks T, I'm gonna look for some
heres a link to the ones I have www.highwaydirtbikes.com/index.php?app=ecom&ns=catshow&ref=HDB-150
Hey Tdubs, the quality on this video seems a little worse than on your other ones, trees seem to pixelate and stuff. Usually that happens when you have a low bit rate. When you save your video after you're done editing, use the highest bit rate your editing software allows and you won't have any more pixelation. Typically a bit rate of 100,000 is fine.
are you sure your watching on 1080p? I always export in a 30 mbps bitrate which is extremly good for 1080p, I just viewed it on youtube and looks great to me if your watching on a lower quality then it will definitely look pixelated
What year is the tw 200 it seems like a nice bike
it's a 2014, got almost 15,000 miles on it now. it's pretty fun
Cool im getting a 2006
awesome!
Looked like a great time!
sure was! thanks for watching :)
You need to make this a career, seriously
maybe someday haha
What year is your tw200?
2014
Awesome video
thank you!
Tdubzkid my idol. Why are you so good in editing
thanks man! just takes practice and patience 😃
@@TDubsKid maybe next time there will be a river crossing on your trail, that would be awesome.
@@TDubsKid what are ur helmet, jersey, boots and pants?
haha a river crossing will be in an upcoming video, it was epic
right now I have an oneal seirra 2 helmet. just some oneal jersy with a tld armored shirt underneath. and klim mojave pants
@@TDubsKidthanks man, i'll just keep following on your upcoming videos.
I did the poker run on a cr500. Kicked my butt lol.
nice haha, it's a pretty long ride if you do the full one
Awesome vid and looked like an awesome event! So you won $25?
thanks and sure was! I did surprisingly I paid 25 dollars to enter and won it back haha
nice dude !! i like all your videos !!
thanks! much appreciated :)
@@TDubsKid I buy a little brother of the yamaha tw200 ! The yamaha xt250 2018! And i customize it like your bike ! With pods , and guard , skid plate.. I am from quebec, canada and i will use it for camping and expeditions ! Thanks dude so much !
awesome! sounds like your ready for some adventures! no problem, ride safe 😃
@@TDubsKid ho yes !! Have some fun like you !! 😀
sweet! glad to hear
don't forget to put your ad brakes, so you get paid on these long video , i hope u know how to do that in editor !
thanks, I know how to do that but I prefer to keep ads out of the middle of my videos
Liked the vid BUT this one made me motion sick for some reason 🤢.
Might have been the faster pace you were doing.🙂
You still got a thumbs up .
Cheers Toz
hmmm was the camera just too shaky?
haha thanks though :)
Nice riding TDubsKid!
+Aaron V thanks!
"that's a beta nevermind" even the little tdubs takes shots at us!
So this is an American "raid" , is super well organized but is so soft that looks that was made only for SxS
just joking bro 😀👍
Sketchy McSketscherson! 😃
haha not sure where that came from
Have you noticed a difference in the gear ratio?
maybe slightly but hard to say, the 15/50 and 14/47 are almost the same
That was awesome!🤙
thanks!
I was going to say a lot about this ride but I’m just going to say, find a riding buddy that won’t drink the day before a ride and group rides change everything!
haha good advice, group ride sometimes make me nervous
All I can say is "Case Savers".
true that, more protection the better
hey I accidentally deleted your comment on the recent video when I was trying to respond to it . super sorry about that
You need help picking up some of those cool points you dropped when you fell off of your bike? 😉
haha yes 😂
I kinda want a TDub now!
it's a fun bike
When you start riding a different bike, you'll see how good a rider you really are. The TW is a horrible dirt bike if you ride over 5mph
thanks I appreciate that. but i'm happy with the TW
@@TDubsKid in no way was I saying to get rid of your TW. Only pointing out the TW is the limiting factor holding your speed . I have a lot of fun riding my TW
oh gottcha, I don't mind going slower on the trails but yeah I may get a 2nd bike, I kinda want to get a ktm 790 adventure someday
😃
You fall a lot ....
yeah
