Was on a ride a couple weeks back on my XR 650L with a group of KTM owners. One of the fellas was wondering why he couldn't keep me in sight. It is not the bike, it is the rider. looks like you gents had an great time ...
im not trying to start a fight here but i do this same thing on my klr650. i live in Connecticut and the woods here are rocky and hilly. all these 650 thumpers are the same . if you piont it were you want to go , it will go . the rest is just trying to stay on . theyre mules . the only ting that makes the xr , dr or klr suck is scared drivers . point and shoot . im 6'5" 240 lbs and fit and have some screws loose . maybe that helps . but if you got nobbys and 650 cc and you cant off road . Its you... not the bike
Gladius Jon thanks. It's been a great year learning the dirt. Believe it or not you've helped with that. I'm looking forward to an even better year in 2017.
Thats really cool to know man, thanks! If you dont mind me asking, how did I help? To be honest, I dont know how to judge my own riding skill. Or how Im doing with the Video aspect. Not a lot of people give me in depth feedback.
Is that brandtagone your riding with? Those trails look great! I would love to ride my DR650 there! The only good single track I've ridden is in Colorado but it's not as lush as where you guys are, a lot more rocky but the DR handles it just fine. Anyway guys, very nice video really enjoyed it!
Are you both on DR650's? Thanks for proving the DR650 can do tight single track. I'd like to see a KLR650 try those trails, no way. I'm in the market for a dualsport that can do both highway and trails well. I'm a smaller gent, only 5'7" so I need a bike with a lowish seat height.
That's gotta be Washington State - Niiiiiiice Trails ! Thank's for posting the cool video - brought back some awesome memories of my riding days living in Seattle !!! Living in the Desert now and haven't seen a water hole on a trail YET !!?!?!?!?!?
You guys ride those 650's pretty good. Beautiful enduro trails, like northern MN but hilly. Is it always that wet in Wash? I dont know what oil your using, but semi-synthetic will keep it cooler while slipping the clutch in the tight stuff, less stalling, and less clutch cable slack/fade then. Would not recommend full synthetic, clutch will prematurely slip if abused.
Tough trail men .....i done alot of forest lanes on mine but i dont think i tryed anything as rough as those single trails in the vid fair play....Prob just spin with standard trailwing rear tyre......
Parts of this trail looks familiar, been watching a lot of Brandtagone's videos. Nice riding, interesting that the DR seemed to stall so readily. Stock carb?
Where is this ORV park at? I'm in Snohomish WA and would love to find somewhere closer to ride both my DR650 and KTM200. Is this out on North Carpenter Road?
It's ALWAYS nice to know where the best ares are. Just to appreciate this Country all the better! Thanks!!! I would've guessed somewhere in N. WI, or UP MI., etc. Beautiful! Thanks!!

Thank you for not playing music the entire video!
I've always told people who doubt the 650 dual sports that those bikes will go wherever the rider has the balls to take them
Looks like good times to me! :-) I have to agree with "Shadrach Lawson"; I appreciate the absence of a music overlay.

love this bike, its defiantly understated all around dirt bike - could use better front forks like a full showa front end kit ;)
Thank you.
And THANK YOU there is NO 'music'. (noise)
Single track is so much more work. Bet you guys were puffing pretty hard most of that day. Still, looks like a great time out there.
DR Diaries yea it was a lot of work but so worth it. It's always a good time.
Really like this vid and the connection with nature this bike allows. I found it strangely relaxing. Thanks for posting.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy making them!

Great video. You're lucky to have such a great playground for the DR.
Daninoz we are very lucky and this the small playground.
Those trails looked NICE. I have only been to a few ORV parks in my life. Great times! BTW, you did very good handling the dr.

It was watching the places you go on the dr650 and seeing what it could do the helped me decide to get one.
Where do you live I would like to ride trails like that

Trevor Jameson yep that's Brandtagone. he got me hooked good.

Doug Maverick the DR would be the perfect choice for you. As you can see on many of videos it does do both.

Peter Hubbard it is Washington! Good eye. I'm even new to this area and I loooovvveee it. This has got to be the best area for dual sports
Ha Ha - I knew it - you guy's are troopers!!!!!!! Keep posting them cool riding vids :-)
is that a purchased wind screen or a DIY?
linebacker that was purchased through Procycle. It's a Parabellum rally screen.
"This looks familiar" "I don't know , looks fun though" . Classic lol . Those trails look real squirrelly , good job staying upright .

Very Cool Vid
Have either one of you made any suspension changes to the bikes? Thanks for the great video.

Hadgerz the stalling is operator error for the most part. Brandtagone and I go here often. Its close by and fun.
Looks like Land of the Lost , how do you find your way out lol .
Where is this ORV park at? I'm in Snohomish WA and would love to find somewhere closer to ride both my DR650 and KTM200. Is this out on North Carpenter Road?
Mike Masson that's it exactly. North carpenter just west of Robe Menzel rd.
Thanks for the video
Does the DR650 stalls out when (ONLY) going up hills?????
LOL...Depends on the rider
What tires are you guys running? Can we get a full mods list for both bikes? Thought I spied an FMF exhaust :)
You can check out my video "DR650 Possibilities". I break them both down there.
Where were you riding?! (State, County)?!.... It looks nice!!!
guloguloguy this is the state of Washington. A very good state for dualsports.
It's ALWAYS nice to know where the best ares are. Just to appreciate this Country all the better! Thanks!!! I would've guessed somewhere in N. WI, or UP MI., etc. Beautiful! Thanks!!
Awesome place! That looks like XR250R territory though. lol
Trevor Jameson ,or drz400 e
but with the right tires the Dr can do great things off road. They can climb strap hills no problem.
Are you shooting a Go Pro or other brand? I'm in the market, whatever you are using look decent.
Astro Mann this is a go pro session.
Nice, just read up on it.
hey what front fender do you have?
madcanic that's the super moto fender from procycle.
