This is definitely gonna make my top 3 list of worst pass roads in Colorado. Williams Pass is only open in August every year. The last time I was up there I was 20 years younger. It didn't seem that bad then...
Is that a road or a creek bed? Either way it does look like a bunch of fun for the 630. I bet it looks worse to the Japanese DS riders.
I got a "you da man" from a quad guy. He recommended that I turn around. A CRF 450 guy definitely felt my bike was too big for that road. The bike does better than I expect a bunch of the time. thank god.
The men all carry sticks and wear a tradition blanket and often the conical woven hat - an indicator of status and maturity in the Basotho culture. Being a mountainous and rocky country the rural folk learn to traverse hilly and rocky terrain with amazing agility and speed - even the really elderly are sprightly over the gnarly stuff.
Yes, he was the guy who greeted me at the end of the bridge at the very bottom of the valley (you can see the depth of the valley towards the end of the clip). By the time I was half way up the hill, whole village caught up with me despite having 50 hp at my disposal. I have wasted that advantage due to the lack of talent, fitness and excess body weight .
I know exactly where that is and ride around there all the time. Obviously he doesn't because you never go into the middle of the puddle in the pines.
Ha ha. No video. It would of been 20 minutes long and involve lots of me walking in front of the bike strategizing my next move.... I do have one more pic I will put up later.
Another TE video from Africa - this time riding 630 in Kaokoland along the Namibian/Angolan border on the Kunene river track. The tribals in the video are Himbas.
Hey everyone, I've been M.I.A. for a while. Wont have my bike back until September or October, no fun. Here's a picture a kind person took of my bike while I was in Alberta, love it!
