Solo Motocamping With The KLX 300. Washington State's Most Dangerous Road

Рет қаралды 16,748

Жыл бұрын

I do an overnight motocamping trip to Hart's Pass, the most dangerous road in the state of Washington and the highest road in the state. Along the way I run into a few challenges but I'm rewarding with breathtaking views and a mountain peak to myself to camp at.
If you are looking for rugged universal dual sport/adv bags definitely consider the Kemimoto Waterproof Bags. They have been excellent and super easy to install.

I call my KLX the TrashPanda, a nickname for myself from my past military days, the KLX never needs to sleep, it will run on anything, and it will scurry through the toughest terrain to get where its going. Weird hearing names like China Lake and such, I lived in northern NV and CA for awhile and now in NH, but great video dude. Wonna see more!

@dualdorks 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for your service man. I'm unfortunately still in. The KLX is a great bike. I have definitely bashed it hard since I've owned it and it's been very reliable.

Picking up my 2024 KLX on Thursday or Friday of this coming week....and I have to say, this video really gave me the chills watching you maneuver up that road with deep chasms and snow banks! Then again, I'm turning 71 in less than a month, and have no intent on ever riding such an adventurous route! I just subscribed to your channel for hopefully more tame rides and to study your set up! My KLR650 is set up nice, but simply too big and heavy to attempt much more than fire roads and hard pack. Outstanding Adventure! Look forward to viewing all the others!

The skull on the left - When you see it - It looks like the damn opening [upper/right] opens up, puurs water down the hill and over the top of the skull's head.. over time, it eroded..
