I don't even know if I could take 15 degrees in a tent. My back would be so stiff I couldn't even walk much less ride. 😂 I'll have to try and make it to Chilly Willy 25
Gear, lots of gear to prevent becoming an ice cube 😂 The rough part was getting out of the sleeping bags due to the early morning piss. It was a great rally Greg. Hope you can make it next year. It shouldn’t be so cold. Cheers!
Hello Tracey, hmm... The height of the new 390 will be as tall as this lowered bike was. That's not fun... I think I may need to have the new 390 lowered an inch to be comfy. - Frank
Thank you Frank for getting this out so quickly, North Carolina is where all the cool Vstrom 1050’s reside from. 😅 I was hoping to see that DOC1050 guy. The Kove looks awesome, honest review of the bike. I much preferred my ride to 70 degree SanDiego about the same time. A West Coast Chilling and Willing event maybe for next year 😅😅
@@verbalwidget0919 I kick myself when I think about all the off-pavement riding I missed when I was living in SoCal. There was enough cool pavement to keep me entertained though.
Hello Dave, I did a terrible job of getting footage. I tend to enjoy myself. Docs not OOMR friendly as his language is not PG! 😳 It was great to see him! He is a great guy to camp with! And the VStrom was MINT! - Frank
Hello Patrick, missed you for sure! Maybe next year you can ride up for a day to ride! Or is Troy too far from the Motoramblings HQ? If was a PITA getting past the I40 closure this year. - Frank
@@mayo_moto I think I may try for next year! Looking forward to seeing some of the riding videos. I know Frank won’t release his until next year’s event…😂
That Kove 450 was sweet! I agree with everything you said about how well it’s built. Sounds like it scoots like my 300RR. Might have to bring it next year so you can give it a go!
Chilly but looks like you had lots of good company. Thanks Frank.
Hello Rob, it was very Chilly until 9am. It warmed up very nicely. We did ride until 3:45, and it was back to Chilly for the end of the ride! - Frank
sounds like a great weekend
Hello John, it really was. Plenty going on to keep warm! Even Swabby survived! - Frank
Sounds like great rally! Might have to check it out next year!
Hello Jay! Great group of guys for sure. Would recomend, maybe bring a trailer... 😜 - Frank
Come on! It'd be great to see you out there.
Might have to go next year for sure!!
Hello Bob, I would recomend it for sure! I mean, it cannot be this cold next year! Right... 😳 - Frank

Many guys towed their trailers down. That as pretty crazy for NC. Much warmer on night two! - Frank
You're on the invite list! I'm honored that Frank put me in the "Bearded Grump" class of hardcore campers for sleeping in a tent. 🤣

@doc650adventures getting out to piss is the worst part 😂. I'm glad you had a good time Doc
@ 😂😂😂🥶That and lying to yourself that you can wait it out and go back to sleep 😂
Good review! I have a feeling you are rethinking the new 390 purchase!!!!😳

@@OneOldManRidingF&$@:! You saying I swear too much Frank? 😂😂😂
@@doc650adventures Not for most channels William! I had the camera on with Swabby near, had to delete that footage! - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding Hahaha! Why am I not surprised 😳
Chilly Willy looks like a great time…. If it’s a bit warmer!

It was unusually cold. Average temps are 35 lows and mid 50's highs. I'm astonished at the turnout. Can't wait for next year!
@@OneOldManRiding I don’t think it’s too far, but this year I was in Florida…. A bit warmer!!
@@mayo_moto I think I may try for next year! Looking forward to seeing some of the riding videos. I know Frank won’t release his until next year’s event…😂
@@Motoramblings looking forward to seeing you out there!
Wait! What? This was recorded a few days ago, and I’m seeing it already??
Bizaare right? I may get the ride video done for Sunday! 🤪 - Frank

Hello Doc, the Beta is a nice machine. We have a shop here that sells them. About four years ago we started seeing them on the trails. - Frank
Good times... lets do it again
Very good times! See you at Palmetto Steve! - Frank
So, I’m vertically challenged, old, out of shape, and have little off-road experience…. You’re saying I should buy a Kove 450??
Absolutely. It was made for you Patrick! - Frank
It was great to see you out there buddy! Can't wait for next year!
Always a pleasure to see you Duke! And WOW what a great weekend you provided for us! See you at the Palmetto ADV Rally! - Frank
@@OneOldManRiding I'll be there!
