One of the reasons I bought the 701. As we got more aggressive the 800 just seemed too big for me.

Will be live Sunday morning. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLGla8J7utDOimw.html

Real life is scary. We all need an escape with some friends. I hear the KLR is getting fuel injection?

more than scary !! The older I get the scarier (sign of old age, self doubt, lack of confidence and general breakdown of physical and mental competence :) ) KLR - fuel injection ??? aaaaahhhhh - come-on guys!!! There is only so much bullshit you can peddle on KZfaq! hahahhahahaaahha (although many succeed and are actually convinced of their own knowledge) I love the smell of un-burnt petrol at 4.30am in the morning ! Choke/enrichener washing all the dirty stuff out of the cylinder ! (straight into the sump !) Neighbours ringing emergency services fearing a chemical spill ! Dogs howling, children crying, sirens, fire trucks etc...... bet you don't get that with your rotten fuel injection ????? Fuel should go into the engine the same way it goes into your tank..... through a big pipe !!!! Keep the videos coming fellers :) :) cheers (from Awestraaalia) George

Heheheee Nerb! Good to see you here! Big fan of your channel, and Tom's too! :)

Not too early down under!

Yeah, Nerb could have a drink for me! :)

Awesome Players. I have moto volgging questions for you. Would you have some time to answer them in the near future?

Sure. If you head over to our site apormc.com/ you can see my contact info.

Thanks. We go slower than many but have a good time.

Our team is going again this year so we will see you there.

Used to be able to go without eating but it seems these days I need to keep the tank full.

Very true. The bike is usually much more capable than the rider.

The heavier bikes can suck the energy out of you pretty quick. As your technique gets better you do use a lot less effort. When we take someone out for their first time on dirt on a big bike they are frequently exhausted in the first hour.

Alchohol kills germs!

Well..... still a little early for that! ;)

Well... you know sometimes I just enjoy coffee in the morning... I'm like that! :P But yeah, I agree: it's always 5PM somewhere in the world! :)

I've got nothing against having some coffee in it...

Hahahahaaaa.... Yeah, I remember some maintenance party where you did add "some coffee" to your "crème d'érable"... :P

Cheers to you sir!

Sorry for the late reply. Missed a few comments. I just went through the bike list process. Bought a 901.

Better but not great!

We are open to massive campaign contributions!

Hey buddy! I'm looking forward to Fundy!

I miss it sometimes still.

We will be ready.

Even worse if he is 10 plus years younger, six inches taller and in good shape!

Exactly. I think in this case it was poor preparation in not having a decent breakfast!

I think we just have more land laying around doing nothing. Thanks for watching.

Country song maybe.

The after breakfast part was really fun.

Still have three years of my own stuff to do!

I've had a few where the bike just started going and I bailed. Much prefer uphill!

This was from 3 years ago so I don't remember but a mild hangover on a Sunday morning is a possibility.

Nah. The more out of shape you are the easier it to have adventure. If you are fit and well rested you would have to do something extreme.

hahaa!!! My pot belly and I will remember that. The snow is rapidly melting and mud season is fast upon us. The Mighty DR is ready for an oil change and some fresh tires and a good ol' summer flogging!

We would say "Giveeeeeeerrrrrrr!"

These hills were so loose and steep that the weight of my boot was locking the rear wheel. As long as the clutch is out you are in gear the engine is also braking the rear wheel. Most people are really afraid of front brake on downhills but but without it you can't really generate much stopping power.

She is a big girl.

I should get off my ass. Weakest link in my riding is certainly me.

Thanks for the visit Jason.

701 has a high fender. I'm going back to that trail this year and try again!

Awesome! When can we watch some 701 aktion? :)

Vendez-le! Achetez un GS. Il peut faire n'importe quoi.

I sometimes do the hop. Kind of stand on one leg and kick the other over the seat. Henrik has learned a cool trick where you stand on the left of the bike and put your left foot on the peg. You then start to ride off and once the bike is moving you swing your leg over. Looks cool.

Actually it was solid. I had my boot on the bike and since I weigh well on the other side of 200lbs, it just looked soft. I don't mind if they bend as long as they don't snap when you straighten them. The cast pedals on some other BMWs like the X-Challenge are one time only and cost 200$!

KLR is a constant like gravity or the speed of light.

Henrik will be back!

Yay!

We are using Leatt braces. Not sure which models. We both bought used.

Hi Owen. We are still around. I really liked the D606 out front. Out back I used the Mitas E09 Dakar. The Dunlop D908 is a great big bike back tire as well. A lot more options around now. Many like the Motoz stuff.

Only a couple hundred.

Actually the the really good MX boots are more comfortable. Look at the Sidi Crossfires. They were too pricey for me but Chris swears by them as do many others. The upscale boot isn't just a plastic sleeve. You get hinges and such so articulation is much better. I have the Tech 7s (I think) by Alpinestar that I got on sale and they nice.

Thanks for your input, I finally decided on Adventure Boots by Forma. I must say they are surprisingly comfortable when compared to other boots. I can actually walk around in them for a short time AND they also offer more protection than say a BILT adventure boot. They were also moderately priced which was nice!

Nice!

Not much to be afraid where we usually ride. Might be a black bear or two around. They just run away. In western Canada they have Grizzly bears which can be more aggressive.

As time goes on I seem to be getting more and more human..... Please send us a video of the big event. Cheers.

100$!

Awesome Players not bad!

Found the old bill. Paid 63$ 3 years ago. Now on the Max BMW site it is 100$!

Awesome Players I was always under the impression that BMW parts were super expensive. That sounds rather fair and reasonable.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason too the pricing. Most parts aren't cheap but every once in a while the price is decent. Of course if we order the parts from the US these days we have to add a 30% premium for the low Canadian dollar.

He is lurking. He will back in these video soon. These clips are from 2014 and he was pretty busy with life at that time.

I would be in shape if I could get out 2 or 3 times a week.

Henrik was really busy with house and home at the time the video was shot. Good news is that he is back with a brand new bike.

Adventure Spec. Great bars.

It really does. I'm always so excited to he see the footage from some epic hill and it looks like we are riding the prairies.

It took us about four hours to get up about 800 metres of track, looks like a normal fire trail in the video.

From Henrik. Az Angol forditas ez lehetne: Chris is taking his bike for a walk.

yess. from 13:33. Take care. Minden jót, szèles utat! :)

Was in Vegas last year but no bike. Looked like a lot of good riding spots.

I've always wanted to try one.

The 800 series have been very reliable. Way more issues with DR650s and other supposedly simpler machines over the years.

Are you saying that Chris's bike is not always perfectly tuned........

@@AwesomePlayers Sorry I didn't mean that, I just heard some camshaft noise when Chris and you were side by side... 23:22

I know that sound because my bike is always making that noise...

@@mountainridersdarjeeling9745 The HP2 is a rattle box for sure.

@@mountainridersdarjeeling9745 It is kind of a joke in our crew that the HP2 isn't very well taken care of. It is also way louder mechanically than a 1200GS for sure. We did a valve adjustment last fall and it is noticeably quieter.

The winter training of Costco mega snacks takes its toll!

On some level it's reassuring, it shows that off road motorcycling is actually working you hard and is good for you. We're all certainly more fit at the end of the season than at the begining!

Scientific proof! www.oftr.ca/fitness-study.php

Interesting, thanks!

I have to admit that after a full day of trail riding I don't usually make it to dinner, I pass out on the sofa either right before or right after the shower!

Had water. Usually have some power bars of some sort.

But eggsbacon, pancakes and jam has that beat every time :) Thank you for the entertaining videos you make
