Honestly this needs more views, excellent camera quality, cinematography, editing. One of the best motovlogs I’ve seen in awhile👍

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
I feel you on the solos far from people…adds a whole new level of adventure to difficult parts.
Great adventure, thanks the ride. Kenny
Thanks for sharing another cool video. Sorry to see you put the big girl down. It really does look like another planet out there. Amazing landscape. Keep up the great work 👍🇦🇺

Yes they are! Really a unique place. Thanks for watching
Omg, simply stunning 👏👏
What a great adventure. That bruised rib may be a simple fracture my friend. I think you would know better than I though. I subscribed. And I can not believe you only have 324ish subscribers. That really did look like a good time. Be careful. Best wishes and happy trails from Ivine, California. Edward

I know the KLR well, rode it on many adventures for 6 years. It Sketchily gets you to some pretty places. Dangerous to ride out there by yourself I've done it myself. Ride on brother great video. Thanks for sharing....

Hey thanks! Yeah it’s a pretty good all around bike. It’s definitely heavy but it can handle about anything you throw at it as you know. I’m looking at getting something smaller but it’s hard to find the perfect bike.

The ups and downs of solo riding. Broken and bruised ribs are no joke my friend. I broke 8 ribs and a sternum in a deer and me contest on my GS. Be careful. Very nice work on your video.

Thank you! That’s a wild story
Very beautiful ride, I love that part of Arizona, and hope to explore more of it this year on the KLR. My first thought was you're on a different planet with the black rocks and red boulders, just amazing. I'm always by myself sometimes it makes you wonder, but also a better person. If you carry a crescent wrench, you can straighten the rear brake when it gets bent like those plus other uses. Cool video, Thanks.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Hard to beat the trusty KLR for sure. I have really enjoyed solo rides, you seem to really grow as a human and the amazing time in nature.
I ride solo too and have picked up a klr while hurt. I feel yiur pain (literally). If yiu dont have one get a garmin inreach or a spot gps for the real emergencies.
Awesome video, and look like some an incredible riding spot. I wish we had stuff like that in Texas.

Nice, adventure moto and hiking!

I'm super curious as to what tires you're running on all your ventures. Love the solo trips.

I just use the stock Dunlop tires that the bikes come with. I’ve tried others but they are an all around good tire to me.
I have the same bike and dropped it in similar muddy conditions shortly after buying it - the stock tires are fine for gravel roads etc, but no good at all in mud

It’s a pretty good all around tire but I agree. Have you found a better tire?
You’re a brave man. If you drop that bike and can’t pick it up you’re in serious trouble my friend. That’s what is scary about riding alone in places like that. I’m a short guy I don’t know if I could lift it by myself. Super dangerous

Yeah for sure, it’s easy to get confident in your riding ability and just go for it. After this experience I have tried to not push the bike in difficult terrains alone.
Ouch. Something about KLR's and ribs. I broke my rib unloading my KLR when i first brought it home 😅. Hope it's just a bruise. Great ride 🤙

Ah Man that is a wild story. Yeah I think I bruised it, still very sore. Glad I broke my rear brake and not the shifter.
Dumped my Honda XR 650l sand wash. I also have a Xr 400, and Xr 350 - much better in the rough stuff, and deep sand.

Meeehhh the KLR is not up to the task. A glorified grocery getter..
