- The trail is winding down as we head deeper into Blackwater River State Forrest from our starting point in Alabama. This has been an amazing ride for me. Everything is starting to come together in my riding. Two years ago I was resigned to the fact I'd have to wait for that dream trip to truly get off road and get away from sand. So glad I didn't give up...

"oh my God, I think I'm having fun!" best line in this vlig! Imagine how much more fun it will be when it cools off!
All the feels when you hear it during the ride. Great riding weather just around the corner.
Well done jim
Nice work Scratch! You made it look easy except the looking down at the phone thing. LOL! I am glad you are having fun!
Man, that sure looks fun
It absolutely is!
“Look farther down the road and the squirrelly goes away” Now that’s a good tip for a new KLR guy like me!
If there is a secret, that and keeping your speed steady is it! At least it was for me
And grip the tank with your knees when standing on the pegs. Makes it easier to steer with your hips.
@@techydog7854 and that too! Once you get the "steady" down you can begin to work on your "weight shift steering"
Welcome back scratch
I hate hip cramps. I dangle my leg while I ride that seems to help. But sometimes when I go to put my foot back up on the peg it comes back. So I have to stop and stand up for a while.
Same.
@@ScratchBabble Ditto. I get them on my Harley and ZZR1200 too and they all have different ergos.
Let the playing begin!! :) What an amazing change in your riding Jim. You have to be happy with the improvement. Nice! Ride on brother!
You’re doing great Scratch! Once we have more confidence we have more fun! This is my mantra from Dune as I ride scary terrain-
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
FULLCIPHER DUNE would be Scratch’s ultimate proving ground. Could he come out a Fremen warrior?!🤔
Tall Boy lol I hadn’t made the Arrakis sand connection haha! Time for a Klim stillsuit
I love that!
I think I'm having fun! You're so fun to watch... nice little save there too ;-) I gotta get a set of comms...
Awsome Video💯🤙💪
Looks like a perfect place for a KLRally-raid!.. My brother in Ga, & me down by lake O would both show up (I wanna believe) 👍😊
oops da clutch....great vid and tfs!
Glad Im not the only one that gets hip cramps. A little drill to practice that may help you when pulling away when you need to get standing quickly. Start the bike, knock it into gear but have the clutch in. Lift both feet onto the pegs, then pull away. Once you can do that well do the same again. But this time stand before pulling away. Lots of practice next to a wall can help.
I picked up my new 2018 KLR650 Saturday and I love it. Totally different bike than the XR650L!!! I never knew a seat could be so cushy there is only smoke break limit on the KLR the XR has a tailbone limit. I could ride the KLR all day and never look back the XR about 1 1/2 hours and your darn near crippled. But in all fairness the guy before took out almost all butt cushion to lower the seat. I look forward to many miles on the KLR it's like a Cadillac. I'm not gonna get rid of the XR though it's just TOOOO MUCH FUN!!!
That was great. Every video you are concurring your fears and becoming a better rider. Cheek chiller’s and whistle thongs spring like a bad day on a motorcycle. Be safe my friend.
9:10 Good video. Congrats on your progress, being a small CZcamsr is hard. Thumbs Up 👍
I get more and more proud to have yer sticker on my KLR with each episode. :)
😁u doing lots better mate😁
keep at it and give your mate a thank you from me for helping you 😎👍
keep well mate
Nice video
Thanks D!
Sure feels good to tame the KLR doesn't it? Well done Scratch!
I'll let you know when I get there Ben!
Wow, this is an amazing video! I hope that one day my videos can be just as good as yours :)
Man you're getting comfortable ripping it up. Keep at it.
FLA is a bit of a ride for a meet up. How about this, you Southerners meet us Northerners in the middle? We can all gang up on RonC 😁
How about the Smokey Mountain 500? I have the gpx files for that and the 1,000. The 500 would give more fellowship time.
But you guys really need to think about the idea of eventuallycoming down here to the Florida Panhandle because we are slowly but surely creating a route just for the Delusionals to experience the best of what we have here.
Are you in the Fort Walton area? I am in the Navarre area looking for people and places to ride!
Hola Scratch Babble !!!
Como estas ?
Quiero hacerte una consulta.
Que escape tiene la moto de Zach ??
Que marca y modelo es ??
Por que realmente me gusta mucho su sonido y me gustaria ponerle uno igual a mi KLR.
Desde ya muchas gracias !!!
Te mando un abrazo
Nos vemos
Suerte !!!
Hola Sergio! I'll need a translation for the rest! Someone help a brother out!
Ok, Scratch Babble !!!
Start in the sand as if you are on pavement. When you are on paved side roads practice stop to standing in one motion. It will become more natural offroad. Sitting is a bad habit, the bike and bars have leverage on you and throw you around. Standing lets the bike move while your legs and arms absorb the motion, giving you leverage over the bike, Stay up on two. Your riding is improving every trip. Fun will soon take over fear. :)
