Forget 1,000 Miles! Will we even make it 1,000 ft | $1,000 Motorcycles vs 1,000 Miles Episode 3
Can $1,000 motorcycles make it 1,000 adventure miles? We’ll be taking these project bikes on our Hooked on Phoenix ride, a popular route that takes you from Mesquite, Nevada to Phoenix, Arizona and back. With a mix of dirt roads, technical sand and rocks, and even a little slab, this ride has something for every rider and certainly the right challenges to push these bikes to the limit.
In Episode 3, we find out if these bikes can make it even the first 100 miles of this 1,000 mile endeavor.

They are averaging a 1/4 tube of JB Weld every 87 miles. JB Weld should be sponsoring Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. Next year: Subframes completely made of JB Weld.
I said to myself "I'll just watch one episode, save the rest for the week" - well, that didn't work :-/
You should really sponsor gabe!!
Glad you got Gabe on, really experienced with the bottom of the barrel bikes

Rockymountains message is you dont have to buy those expensive adventure bikea to have fun on adventure roads. Keep it guys hoping we will be seeing more of this kinda challenge
I have waited many millennia to witness a ride of such excellence.
ALSO: Such a good shot of the float drying on the barbed wire! Kudos to the camera man!
Oh my god, when the float solder let go I would have laughed my ass off, that was hilarious!!!!

In the first two minutes. There is a gen 1 sequoia, a gen 1 tundra , an LTD 440(KZ) and an E55 AMG. All vehicles I have owned. Lol! That LTD is the very first street bike I ever owned. When I was 17. And the E55 I still own. It’s been one of my favorite cars ever!!
Gabe is definitely the right guy to take on this challenge.

You have to continue these things, but you should introduce cheat bikes, that can be more expensive but have to be super oddball. Like one of those Indian Royal Enfield diesel bikes. How sick would that be after being turned into an off-road machine.

Even at my age I still enjoy my rides sadly most of my buddies live somewhere around the globe but most of us are still in contact via Skype. That DT you have me routing for it in every challenge. LOL, I have never owned one but my friends have and they were by far the best bike on versatility. What a machine. I had the old XL500s back in the day even though it was an awesome bike those DT's literally ran circles around it. Have great times with friends man and God Bless you all.

You can always tell real motorcycle guys. During the middle of a 1000 mile ride you totally destroy a Non-replaceable float, they all laugh and with very little distress find a way to make it function. Carb work on the side of the road, no big deal…. They are highly skilled in the use of scientific equipment such as, zip ties, duct tape and J.B. Weld. Real motorcycle guys will always survive….

Should've known better than to rely on a Suckzuki. I had one and I worked on it more than rode it. It was a 230 quadsport. Bearings and brakes were always requiring replacing. With the added bonus of, if the rear bearing and or the swing arm bearings go back you then need a case after the chain destroys it.
