Our KLR650 and DR650 tackle whatever Utah can throw at us in this excellent dual sport motorcycle adventure. 

Make sure to check out part 2.1 for the singletrack sketchiness and the log-hop! (Link at the end of the video.)

First we ascend the back side of Mount Timpanogos on one of the best technical roads ever witnessed. On the transition to the dirt I take a huge digger that could have been the end of me and my bike, but luckily I get up laughing like an idiot.

Cruising on wide, loose dirt roads I recount the errors behind my crash, and recall what I actually did right; budget armor works nicely! I then demonstrate how to do a river crossing correctly, while Jae demonstrates the fast and furious method that leaves him soaked.

Coming up in the next video is a hill climb that, as always, looks weak on camera. The added challenge came from feathering my choke lever to keep the KLR alive  while climbing through the scree.

I motovlogged my first time on a single track trail on the KLR, and ended up biting off a bit more than I can chew when we ran into a huge log in the path. It was too big for saws, and too slanted to try to jump. We couldn't turn back, so we piled up smaller logs to "step up" over the log. Needless to say we were exhausted after the ride... but it was most excellent, and, thankfully, this time we didn't nearly die.
