Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
That is just insane.... No Thank You !!!! Just think, who in the heck made that trail, and who was the first to ride it and then said how fun it was and convince others to ride it.... Crazy !

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
My palms are sweaty and my stomach is in knots....just from watching that.
For the guys who rode with me in Colorado, this video makes our "Horse Ranch Trail" look like child's play. That was the scariest trail I had ever ridden, and truth was, if you fell off that single-track, you'd probably only slide 10 or 15 feet before stopping to be rescued. If you fell of the trail in the video above, it is game over. Honestly not my idea of fun--even with "safety 3rd".

Uncle!!!!
I am not worthy. Seriously.
That goat path has obviously been built up over the years (centuries?) as I saw several retaining walls built up to give a flat trail. Wow.
I would hike it. I have mountain biked Porcupine Rim out in Moab which would appear to be similar, so I would MTB it. But on a MC? Not.

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
This vid is spreading like wildfire. I've seen it thru 4 different forums now. I agree, crazy and no thank you.
Ahhh, pre-mix!!
Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
Agree. I can see walking it and maybe even MTB, but doing that on a motorcycle is just crazy. Fantastic view though.safiri wrote:I would hike it. I have mountain biked Porcupine Rim out in Moab which would appear to be similar, so I would MTB it. But on a MC? Not.

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
While there, check out the poster's other ride videos. Lots of cool stuff. I did a google map search and am pretty sure the area shown is in the Alps on the French-Italian border.

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
Looks like a lot of fun to me! And somewhat like the trails we ride in Colorado.

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
I believe you, Stu. You got the skill to do it. Anyone who can ride their motorcycle up a board into the back up their truck would probably be compatible with that trail.Stu wrote:Looks like a lot of fun to me! And somewhat like the trails we ride in Colorado.

Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
Dean, I'm not a control-freak regarding the forum. I like the stickers, and it's good to support a fellow rider who contributes so much to the AdvRider community. Perhaps more logical/appropriate to have made your post as a new thread in Rider's Lounge, and then perhaps posted a link to your new thread in this thread. It would be considered "related" because the sticker is "safety 3rd" and the subject of this thread is the video in which case the rider obviously has put safety far below #1. But like i said, I really don't give a poop. Oh, and you are banned from the forum for 3 months because I am the FORUM NAZI!katbeanz wrote:Hey Troy, if it's spammy feel free to delete, just FYI.

Speaking of "off-topic", any leads coming in on your Husky 610? Been able to ride the "new" XRL yet?
Re: Mountain ride to help you think about summer
Yes, got out yesterday for about 50 miles, it runs very well for stock. I think I'll get out again today dressed a little warmer. I've had a couple of nibbles on the Husky from here on your site. I'm a little overpriced with the miles, half worn tires and most guys prefer the uptite skid plate.

Here is a hiking trail if you would rather walk!
