You are a true biker! I found myself sad when the motor went, I really got involved in your video!! Just awesome and thank you for your service!

Dirt guys are a special breed. To have done epic rides it helps to be somewhat deranged. Welcome to the club.

Way to go Dustin, that's an accomplishment to be able to get that amount and quality of riding in. Enjoy it while you can! I sure hope your next assignment lends itself well to your habits. Once a family comes your way, you'll have a lot of memories while you're stuck at home waiting for your kids to get old enough to ride... 😁

True. I am a father of... I think we're up to 4 now. All of them are under 9. It all blends together once you get past having two of them. Anyways, life definitely changes. Just be sure to support your partners hobbies, and make sure they support yours. My wife lets me ride whenever I want to go, and I always say yes anytime she needs time with her friends or play tennis. Can I go on a two week journey anymore, no. Not because I can't, but because I don't want my wife handling everything by herself for that long because it's a lot of work and everyone needs a break. But I can still get weekend rides and trips in and ride my 300L Rally every day. Looking forward to the day I have to buy a bike trailer so I can take the whole gang.

@@marcochavane3124 That my friend is how you stay married and stay in Love. Because love is a choice. And choosing to respect and help each other is what makes it all work. I will be married for 40 years this year, I can truly say it was a lot of give and take on both sides. And totally worth it. I am now in the time of my life where I am getting the time to do some of the things like this and I am looking forward to overlanding and trips that let that inner kid out, but not at the price that would make my wire resent me doing these things. Great perspective Marco. And these Tdubs look like they are mountain goats. I want to get one and put a ATV rear tire and wheel on it.

I'm a Yamawhore through and through, maybe even a simb in some cases. The TW200 caught my eye years ago as something I'd want one day. I'm not sure if a full grenade at 15k inspires a lot of confidence but I realize shit happens. Nice video, the first in my journey to convince myself I need a Tee Dubya

I've seen TWs online with well over 40,000 miles. That high desert heat on an air cooled bike doing the RPMs I did for a long time is definitely a recipe for disaster lol

The "Nooo!" when u blew the engine in that parking lot... that's a real selling point for this machine. Must have been tough without the bike while it was being fixed. You seem like you'd sleep in the tw200 if you could 😂 Definitely a machine I want to own one day

As a fellow service member and rider I enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work kid!

Great job on this video, gave me the fizz in the area of where my heart should be. My favorite kind of riding, I'm a dork too..

Amazing video! Great memories.

That was absolutely cool. What a great bike. Thanks for sharing.

Much easier to stay alive and healthy on a T-dub than 450cc motocross bike, and damn near as much fun. As the enduro saying goes, "if your bike is too slow, the road is too wide".

First thing’s first, thank you for your service! Second, this is proof that you don’t have to spend $25,000 on a motorcycle to get the joy you get on your TW200. Ride safe!

Congratulations! Great memory lane video.

excellent watch! and great job on 20k!

That was fun to see bud. And You're doing some great editing!

Nice ride, my 1st bike was a TW200 1999 model. Crazy bike, love it to bits, will buy a brand new one anyday. God bless and ride save Young Rider

Excellent video of a great TW200 adventure. Great bikes that get under your skin.

Heck yea man. Real riding. Real rider. Subbed

Great video and nice journey with your TW200. Thinking about getting one now that I will be moving to Kingman.

Bought my TDub in 2018 and have had a journey of a lifetime with it as well. Had to rebuild mine as well but didn't do as awesome of a job grenading the motor lol. Well done on the video and wishing you many more years of happy riding.

Thanks for this. In Burma I'm riding an Enfield Himalayan, but I think the TW 200 would be far better for the kind of riding we have here. If I can get one in Thailand and sneak it over, I will. Good on you for 20,000. My 1984 BMW R80 GS is over 280,000 with regular maintenance.

dude that's not just a tank! that's an extremely rare M247 'Sgt York' DIVAD. it was basically an armored anti-aircraft unit assigned to individual divisions to provide air defense. there's only five left in existence, and you found one. AND HOLY CRAP an M901 ATGM carrier! that's the APC with the back open you rode into. here's the Wikipedia article on the M247 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M247_Sergeant_York and the one on the M901 is here- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M901_ITV

Not really! I drive that in a few months. I actually have two bikes and 4 cars cause all we do is run around! I bought both of my bikes in 2019 and they both have 18k on them now and most of that was recently! The GSX-S1000 had 2200 miles on it last December now it has 7k! And the CBR300R had 7500 now has 11k! Actually run better now due to all the aftermarket stuff then it did when I got it! It acts like it has aged backwards, it’s getting newer looking!

yo ride safe man awesome to see a TW on action as always 😍

I used to own a Ural. I was keeping up with the mileage (though its odometer was in kilometers), wanting to get a pic for all the major milestones. I was approaching 33,333 kilometers, all 3s going across the odometer. I looked down and saw 33,329, then went a bit and saw 33,331, went a bit more and saw _______________! What the?!?. The odometer literally fell to pieces right at or just before the magic moment. The numbers just fell out. The next time I went to ride, I looked at the speedometer and the needle was going around the whole face of the speedometer quickly, just spinning through all 360 degrees about once every second. So, for you, at least it was just a video file. You still have the audio and a photo. What a piece of junk that Russian scrap metal was!

Inspirational.
