To start this video off we've got a decent hill climb that, as always, looks weak on camera. The added challenge came from feathering my choke lever to keep the KLR alive while climbing through the scree. I motovlogged my first time on a single track trail on the KLR, and ended up biting off a bit more than I can chew when we ran into a huge log in the path. It was too big for saws, and too slanted to try to jump. We couldn't turn back, so we piled up smaller logs to "step up" over the log. Needless to say we were exhausted after the ride... but it was most excellent, and, thankfully, this time we didn't nearly die this time.
All right, so we've opted to do a hill climb want to go
Let's see Jay do this thing
The difficult part is gonna be that
Hill up there that twist
Come on, buddy
Who handled it?
All right, here we go
Something I don't know is how big this hill climb really is
Yeah, things get real right there
That would be the absolute worst
And it feels a little saved it
Open
Look what we just ended up
Trail you want to finish off strong on the right trail? Let's do it
They'll excuse us for being late, right?
Maybe it is a funeral
That's true it was yeah, we better edit this out
All right, so we are on our way home
But we just discovered this and there's a magical little thing down there that says motorcycles are allowed. So we're just gonna go up and
See what's going on up there?
so
What's funny is I've actually never done a single track motorcycle trail
So
I'm pretty excited about this. Don't know where it goes or where it comes out
But it's cool watch it come out 15 feet above the road we were just
Not be hilarious
Yeah
Yeah, that was a good time do you want to keep going or should we go home
Idea let's do it. We have no idea where we're going or what we're coming up against
only that it's a single single track trail and
Open to motorcycles and hopefully
I don't hit a tree man. I think back to that guy's
WR
That he was on that thing would be
That thing was like a little fly
I'd be like a little feel like a mountain bike through here. I
Have a feeling we're slightly bigger than the traffic that usually goes through here
Just slightly
This is awesome, this is like freaking fern goalie stuff
Better be recording. Yes
Good all these these are all ferns
And a little bit sketchy
Utah
Utah has ferns apparently and really amazing single track trails
You'll have to pardon me I'm sure that all you hear right now is
The engine sounds in my breathing
Maybe you like that
There's a big funky root
Fall off the edge or something
The camera is doing
The edge back there justice
That would have been a doozy
What we like to call in the professional world
Well, we'd like to call in the unprofessional completely amateur world a real doozy
Not a single track trail
Is wherever we're going?
We're going
There's not really
Much space or opportunity to turn around
Oh, he's calling my phone
I know exactly who it is. I'm sorry
Because we have got to get to wherever we're going and this is a
Challenge man single track who would have thought that's difficult
Lots of
Man I'm gripping the bars my hands are wearing out
It's definitely a lot it's a stutter stutter heavy breathing studies
Ever had one of those days when you just have a huge log
We have a huge log in our path and
That doesn't look very big I think we could jump it if it was like level
So, I don't know we're gonna move some logs up there and do the best we can
All right, the bike narrowly started we just got over that huge log I
Gotta fix my choke cable. It's giving me issues
However, it seems like whenever I'm riding alone, it's just peachy
It's when I'm with Jay that the choke cable
I'm gonna bail out with a non with the excuse
Because
I was weird because we got to get home to the BAM. There we go. Now we can now we can get on home. Oh
Yeah
Here come the comments
Yeah tired went back to the pavement
You're a wiener, that's okay. I know
That's okay. I understand
Okay, oh
Well, that's enough footage for the day
We'll see you later. I love you
