I own a NC700x and it barely gets ridden anymore. Amazing Bike but the TW is just way to fun. I traded a XR650R for the TW and I dont regret it. Most of the riding I do is on tight trails and the TW is a great bike for it
I rode a pedal bike up Horseshoe Meadows Road to the campground. I almost passed out from lack of oxygen at the top. That was a bugger of a climb. Haven't tried it on my Tdub yet.
@@rubberneck2855 It's been a problem with my Tdub. Runs great until just under 2,000 meters of elevation. And then it runs richer and richer the higher you go after that. Power is horrible. I adjust the idle screw, but beyond 3rd gear it's a real issue.
I was getting annoyed lol. I usually keep my cool but the idle screw was too low and starting to piss me off haha . I adjusted it when it cooled off at camp . Everytime I got stuck in a pinch the bike would die haha
Great vid as always man, and nice idea for that new drinking-game.. I played along, and ended up getting a pretty nice buzz on! 🤣 That quick shot of your gas station stop at 24:22 was a trip.. 2 vehicles: 1 Honda Element & 1 Yamaha TW200 [Those are the 2 rides that I have] I actually stuffed my TDub in the back of my Element the day I got it. Tight fit / hatch up - tailgate down / sketchy hour drive back home, but we made it. haha You mentioned a paraglider.. I say 'Go for it'! 😀👍 There's a guy around here that has a powered paraglider, and every once in a while, I'll see him buzz over me.. I was sooo tempted to get one, but then I remembered.. I'm wicked afraid of heights. Yup, that put a quick end to that plan.. Before I shut up, I've got a fun update.. I had a few SJCams that I used to film with on my quadcopters.. I tried one on a bike ride, and the footage turned on 'decent'.. Not great, so, I didn't post it, but, it got me amped up enough that I grabbed a GoPro Hero 7 Black - specifically for adventuring.. I tested it out to & through the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, and the footage was killer! Unfortunately [my typical 'bad' luck] A huge bug smacked the lens at the start of the ride, so the whole right had side of the recording was 'blurry'.. It just couldn't quite focus through the guts. haha At least I have footage from each cam to do a comparison.. Hopefully, I'll have some cool footage up Sooner-than-later. 🙂🤘 Sam -
Glad you enjoyed the video man.. I had my fair share of sketchy loads in the truck or trailer lol. I once hauled a sailboat on a snowmobile trailer haha. I always hate when I am riding and water or something gets on the lens and messes with the content . Hasn't been a problem ever since I moved to the desert lol.
@@dualdorks Right on man, keep em' coming! Hahaha sketchy hauling is always fun - to talk about after it's over.. Definitely not fun - while we're doing it. That's for sure. *Hauling a sailboat on a snowmobile trailer... You're Hired! lol Lens obstructions - Yeah man, that's the worst.. It never happens when we could care less about the footage.. It's always when important footage is involved. Go figure. Dude, I love hot/dry weather.. NY state sucks.. You're quickly selling me on heading towards a desert next! 🤣
@@dualdorks Ah very cool, and best of luck! I have both friends and family in Washington state, and it looks like a really nice place! Not digging Cali.. Yeah man, I don't blame ya one bit.. CA and NY have become two of the worst places to be trapped in.
Couple of paraglider things, (parachute with engine?) and the bigger thing (hanglider?) flying around our town's castle and other scenic stuff while I was sunbathing. Beautiful day. Hopefully they upload their flights to CZcams.
My TW200 has a tool fixed between rear rack and lower frame. Using inch wide nylon webbing and plastic buckles (like found on grocer carts). My hand tool attends Karst excavations and will kill the campfire if departing.
You can download the Socal BDR route for free on their website. Ill start recording my rides and ill make a track that people can download too in the description
Lose the camera, but found your shovel = Murphy Bro🙄. Nice footage on the new one. Nice hill try, soooo close📏. Man that was gutsy on crossing over that teeny rail 💪(hope you got a IN Reach/SPOT SOS device heh)🩹📲🚑.Good job, nice variety of scenery. Ever thought of making a tool tube for a spare gas can🤔. Ive seen a couple of those that hold MSR fuel bottles on the opposite side of the exhaust. Good job, hope to see more 👏😎Tx4V
Yeah I felt the same too putting the video together. Ill be out motocamping very soon and will focus on filming the actual campsite more. I didn't want to make it to long. Most people loose interest after 10 minutes
Hanglider launch area beautiful location. Remember seeing the sky full of paragliders in Chamonix, France. Euro types into that sport, perfect place for it opposite Mount Blanc. Surprised at how long they could soar on the morning thermals. Not sure if I could do that stuff but would love to try.
Hang and paraglider mountainside launch platforms also are my stormy weather campsite protection. As they often have other public-use items I might use.
The little Tdub can go anywhere. Have you checked out the video of tdubskid? he bought a little recovery strap kit it looks pretty cool I’m thinking of get one for just one of those occasions.
Great video Dork I watched half this morning getting ready for work, and the other half when I got home. I really enjoyed it. I need to wait two more months to get the TW 200 2021 I can't wait. I will then be able to continue my channel with south FL trail riding. I think you will enjoy my vids, lot of cool riding areas in my area much different landscape that your use to riding you will see. I will try and get that huge gator on video for you it's a monster. Anyway great vid ride saf, be safe take care buddy. Oh do you think you could do a short introduction about your RV and stuff, don't want to pry I can tell your a very private individual, so am I but I really love the RV lifestyle. Just asking I think it's so cool of what I have seen so far where you live. Once again take care you will be the first I contact when I get the bike.
Oh one more thing if your interested in RC boats I have a video you might like, I take my atv along with my rc boat that goes 55 mph down the street from my house to my dock and video the boat jumping boat wakes you might find it entertaining, look under " Recoil 26 jumping boat wakes" give me an honest opinion of what you think. Ok then talk soon looking forward to the next one.
@@MrPatrickgannon i used to own a nitro hydroplane boat that was wicked fast. Had another electric boat but someone stole it out of my house a few years ago. I got a RC 1/10th scale truck thats a blast to rip around the desert. Its unfortunately one of those expensive hobbies that I haven't played with in a while. Needs some parts. I gotta get new tires and parts for my my Ford before I throw money into RC toys again unfortunately
@@dualdorks I got into it about a year ago stock it topped out around 31 mph. I then upgraded the shit out of it and now if I Run it on a 5s lipo I'm getting top speeds around 55 mph that is fast enough for me. have not worked on my fishing boat in awhile that's next has engine issues the injectors need cleaning, and then I saved up for a new TDUB so yeah I'm pretty much have my hands full have to many hobbies i enjoy, money money money$ also have a family to take are of, but I'm getting that bike for sure can't wait. Sorry some asshole stole your boat that's messed up, would have loved to see a video on that also.
@@MrPatrickgannon growing up i had a walmart RC boat and I tied a fishing line too it with a Hot N Tot on the end and caught a small mouth bass with it and it pulled it into shore 🤣 it was a riot. I wouldn't mind doing that now with a few beers lol
Been looking for a front box. What kind do you have? All I can find are ammo boxes but too big? Where was this ride? Beautiful Country Thanks for the video
For the front box I picked one up at Harbor Freight. I had a larger box mounted in the back a while back but took it off because I had to fix the welds on my rack. Now it's covered in a black window nest and haven't touched it in a while 🤣
Cool videos people coming I'm not the person in the picture it's my wife I ride a xr650r 2002 model street legal with tractionator Zone it love my bike
What app was that showing the BDR? I wanted to do the Mid-Atlantic bdr in my area but I can't find a way to display the map on my phone that includes navigation. Seems like you have to buy a standalone gps
How does your headlight work if that storage box is in the way? Also what rack do you have in the front? And does the headlight not melt or heat up whatever you store on the front rack?
Yeah. I started scrolling and I found a video that stated exaywhat I needed to know. Also tho,maybe you could do a how to in how you installed your led light bar on the front! That’s a nice little upgrade.
@@beco89inc50 its a temporary thing for now. Going to get some flat bar steel and make a more durable mount. Its just thin metal I bent to a 90 and made a cross brace . Basically a bigger erector set haha
Really enjoy your videos! You clearly have some great riding in your area. I don't mean to sound too picky, but If you could keep the language clean that would be great. You are already pretty good that way! Thanks so much for the ride.
@@dualdorks Been in construction and oilfield most of my life and got used to it. Got married, had kids, and somehow it hurts my ears now. I have a bugger of a time keeping my lingo tidy so I know what you mean. Thanks for the reply!
Being in the Navy a few years too its unfortunately a part of my vocabulary. Next video I'll focus on trying to keep it clean. My nephews watch this channel too sometimes.
Incredible scenery, blue skies and cool tracks, thanks.
Great to see you don't need a R1200GS to have an adventure. Looks like much more fun than one of those huge bikes
I own a NC700x and it barely gets ridden anymore. Amazing Bike but the TW is just way to fun. I traded a XR650R for the TW and I dont regret it. Most of the riding I do is on tight trails and the TW is a great bike for it
I really like your videos. I like that you ride where you want to go, not necessarily where the road goes. Keep them coming!
Another great video bud and I feel the same about people that dump their trash in the woods, lame! Keep the vid's coming, enjoy them all.
Night filming great, love the sound of a single ticking over.
I rode a pedal bike up Horseshoe Meadows Road to the campground. I almost passed out from lack of oxygen at the top. That was a bugger of a climb. Haven't tried it on my Tdub yet.
Some of the Alpine passes (Europe) affects the older carb bikes. Noticeable loss of power if tuned for sea level.

Let the Tdub decide what bugs my reader.
I feel like I was listening to myself when you were crossing the creek and falling down :).

Love this!! I’m going to be doing some camping with my bike this year!! I need a dual purpose bike too!
My TW200 has a tool fixed between rear rack and lower frame.
Using inch wide nylon webbing and plastic buckles (like found
on grocer carts). My hand tool attends Karst excavations and
will kill the campfire if departing.
The comet looked cool... I was to lazy to check it out
If it has iron under the ice the lazy method to get it to check
out my reader requires just pulling it closer with a big magnet.
A little more info on routes would be great
I’d like to check some of them out
Keep the moto camping videos coming

I made a video on my mods i have done. The camping gear isn't anything special. Just stuff from Walmart or Big 5
Awesome vid, gorgeous scenery! Can you tell me the general area where you camped by the water so I can see it in mapping app?
The little Tdub can go anywhere. Have you checked out the video of tdubskid? he bought a little recovery strap kit it looks pretty cool I’m thinking of get one for just one of those occasions.

Best solo camp for me is an abandoned quarry.
Ride all attached roads. Then make a choice.
The least visitation evidence is ideal...uh-huh.
Awesome trip. I have a question. What type of front rack and little case is on your bike? I like that setup.
Homemade out of 1/2 inch tube steel
