Wow, Thats a beast of a bike Mountain Man. Love it. Its been an incredible 6 years following you and your unbelievable but yet true hairball, edge of the pants, Sick just Sick top of the Mountains runs..... Seriously my respect for you is top of the world, right where you play. Keep running that Ridgeline Sir. Id love to hear how you find this machine. I want to upgrade off road and your review would help. My world is not quite the same altitude but I'm looking for big horse power to run mountain roads to get to the trails.
This bike is so fun and insanely fast off road. Great bike for most everything down to easy trails. The 890 has more suspension and is better if you are jumping tank tracks while being fully loaded. The pavement and gravel is so very smooth and sweet that in my opinion better makes it better than the 890. Think the net has inflated that the 901 is not up for the nasty stuff but it is. If ya want a bike to get to black diamond I would recommend drz but if you rarely ride the nasty the norden is a fantastic bike if you get a reliable one
Thanks for sharing your fix! I suspect it could be a design/material flaw and more 901s will have that spot in the headlight broken in the coming months/years.
@@z0ld0r its about .060 inch. I think it was busted by turning the adjustment knob to abruptly in the wrong direction. Dropping the bike would not do it. I dropped mine hard on the 1st ride and it was fine.
Was it odd riding a motorcycle along the trails with a fairing and not just the handlebars? And if so does it take a little while to get used to it? Also, I still love watching your videos with the beautiful scenery. God bless, and safe riding.
The Natchez trail is awesome, My neck of the woods. Usually muddy and messy. Hope you check out the cabin in Government meadows and take some great shots of Mt Rainier. Great video man…
A lot more clear down there than around Everett. Sorry I missed this one.
Next one!
Nice vid Brandtagone. That's a heavyweight. You make it look light. 500 lbs in the bush running the rough! Respect.
Thanks stewman! The bike feels very light in motion. Fun bike!

Nice! Curious, how did you end up fixing the broken headlight mount at the top?
I used jb weld. It seems to be holding well and is strong enough to utilize the adjuster

Thank you!!! Ya know I thought it would be as it does not turn with bars but interesting enough I do not notice it. Take care!
