People have trouble in the sand all over the world. I think there should be some kind of movement or world organization dedicated to cure the sand riding issue. =) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted June 14, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Interesting... he mentions Birdsville and the Simpson desert. That should be interesting to see video of that. I saw Nerb do it on an 1190R. He posted that 6 days ago so I bet it will be a bit longer until we see that.

Polar Nomad Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's just absolutely bonkers what off the charts skilled riders like Birch can do on these bikes. It shows you that it's possible and that you just need to keep training. That said, I recently got the idea for the Tour of Idaho on a big bike. Anyone heard of that being done already? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted June 15, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not on a big bike. I did the IDBDR at the same time Jimmy Lewis was doing that Tour of Idaho for that Klim video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, that doesn't look like a day of fun, but more a day of proving that you can make something do something that isn't necessarily at home. Impressive none the less! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted June 15, 2017 Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 If I have to drag or pull my bike every 100 yards, I don't want to ride it. Nothing to prove, just wanna have fun. I remember the days of riding stuff for the conquest and bragging rights. It was fun at the time, but no longer.

Brad R Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Lockhart Basin Steep Section- Those who have ridden Utahs Backcountry Discovery Route, know about Lockhart Basin...without a doubt the steepest and most challenging portion of the BDR. One of the reasons making this one of the most dangerous portions of the ride is due to its remote location. What may be considered a small issue on the side of the road could easily be fatal in the Lockhart Basin. This is one of the steeper sections I rode a few years ago...I was basically leading my R1200GS as it slid/fell down the trail. I would not recommend attempting the Lockhart Basin solo, no matter what bike you ride or skill level you are. Don't go toe to toe with the dessert...You may loose. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 28, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 That's tricky! Did you have the engine off? Couldn't hear it. Also, no gloves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine was on....wish I had set up a second camera to give an idea of how steep it was. As for the gloves...I hate gloves. The only times I actually wear gloves is a few seconds before my fingers freeze and fall off. I am also a huge proponent of safety gear...which in direct opposition to not wearing gloves. I could never find a pair that actually fit. I always felt like the gloves were compromising my control... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
