Do you wear knee braces or at least armor? But heck yeah man, loving the sounds of the 990 and your overdubs.

Sounds good!!

Great video, thank you for sharing. I doubt I will do this on my KLR650, maybe my old Land Cruiser or my Mountain Bike. Great views!

Nevada?! That's pretty far away, dang - otherwise I'd take you up on that group ride offer.

I just bought a 990 and hope to ride it just like this. Came from dirtbikes so how hard could it be? Lol. Its more of a gravel road bike cause im out east but I might take it out to the local offroad park and see how it handles the sand

Great video and nice bike. I have a 990 2011 and love it. I must be strong to pick it so effortless kkk Cheers from Brasil

Btw thanks for showing us the hard way to the easy spot 😂

Yo what bike is that?

Love the video! May I ask what bike that is?

What month did you go? Looks like you went clockwise on the trail?

Better order some clutch plates...

I own this exact bike. Jaridine full exhaust and I’ve broken 200 mph on it!

I just bought 1997 GL1500 SE from the first owner and only 15k miles on it. Great bike in general just front end suspension wise feels very stiff. Whilst on the ride I observed the front forks travelling up/down just fine but it still feels almost like the front end has no suspension at all. Is this normal on these Goldwings or perhaps a fork oil renewal would improve ride a bit?

That's some neck breaking speed at the end.

Practice using the slide for cornering.

Good see you out and making more videos! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸

Nice explaination and video,thank you 😅

I need to do the brakes on my 00 - don’t know where to start

Tin Whoop! Need to knock those down, getting a little ridiculous.

Hey, Jeff. I have a 2000. Keep getting clutch issues. Can you tell me about the mod?

Cool video. Just got back from a week in Sliverton and a week in Moab... also from Michigan!

500cc would overlap with the 990 too much.

Love watching you ride the 990 on this stuff and your commentary. Nice to listen to while working. You're right that the Road Glide would open up a whole world of mods and customizations even if you don't care for anything more than a cam (Andrews and Feuling are great options imo). These new M8 counterbalanced engines are pretty neat. Though there is something about a Goldwing and the "what you get is what you've got" that seems pretty freeing. Goldwing is one of the king mile-munchers out there as you probably already know! And most importantly... "you meet the nicest people on a Honda"

Thanks man, great video, loved the commentary. Michigan misses you!

100% dont get a surron, if you're getting an electric bike get a talaria mx5, significantly better in every single way

also... 2025 goldwing. end of discussion lol

another great ride as always bro. 990 is on a whole other level now with your new suspension. i want to get the GS suspension dialed and bring it with next time!

Sick ride mate... cheers

What gas mileage do you get offroad? I have a 950 and I'm always obsessed I run out of gas. 😃

I thought where you started looked familiar, once I saw zimmys I knew😂... I ride through there all the time, I live a few miles west.

"You don't just top it out first day" - ehem... actually... 😂 I also had issues with how crap my brakes were and replaced the seals+pistons in the caliper, still crap. Changed to braided lines, still crap. Changed to a 2009 ZX10R master cylinder, problem solved :)

I also have an 04 zx12r. It is an experience that can not truly be described with words. Unfortunately I believe it has now broken me, as I don't know if any other motorcycle could fully satisfy me at this point. There are very few other motorcycles that have quite the amalgamation of character elements that the ZX12 brings to the party. The speed / power of course is what sets it apart from the pack, but it is able to carry this power in a sleak lovely package. Tho its heavy, its feels very stable at speed, and not too stubborn in the turns. Best of all, unlike its arch nemesis, the Busa, It doesn't look like a bulbous monstrocity moonlighting as a Sportbike??? For me, even if the power was lacking, the ergonomics which are akin to a slightly oversized sportbike, makes for a much better sized motorcycle. (i.e. legroom, seat position, etc.,) .............A masterpiece of Engineering & Aesthetics in my book!!

You're luckier than you think, Mosquito Ridge Road was closed for almost 2 years due to the fire and landslides. it just reopened like 6 months ago.

I rode the continental divide and Utah BDR on my 990 this summer, man those bikes get hot! Had fuel shoot out like a geyser at one point. I replaced my fuel pump with a quantum setup as preventative maintenance before I left; however, it would still idle veryyy low & stall out when it was hot.

Nice Video, what time of the year did you go. Are there campsites outside the park? Thx Tony

Power commander un governs engine,

Did you find out what it was ? Maybe a load of dust in the air filter ? An old trick to stop fine particles clogging up the air filter is to get some pantyhose and put them over the inlet (they act as a larger particle screen). When clogged, take off, shake out and repeat. Not sure what your inlets look like. This trick is used a lot in back road desert runs on SUV’s and Dakar races. It’s also used in volcano eruption areas due to the ash in the air. If it happens again, try starting and sniff the exhaust as it turns over. If it smells rich then likely air blockage (assuming your engine has been serviced recently and was running right). Maybe all the free-wheeling rattled the dust off the air filter ?

vide is good But SEO Problem

Haha so cool you rode through all of my old stomping grounds. I grew up in Auburn and used to ride through Foresthill and Mosquito ridge all the time. I just bought a 2007 KTM 990 Adv because of you! I can't wait to take it on those trails by French Meadows and Robinson Flat soon

Love your videos, Jeff. Keep ridin'!

Great video Jeff! 👍🏻🇺🇸🍻🏍

cheers from Poland!

And yes to the trailer video

You always get yourself into the craziest shit lmao

That 990 hum.

How stupid would it be to do this same trail on a Honda Trail 125?

squirrel in the gas tank

I ride a 1090 and am on my 3rd fuel pump. Your video gave me PTSD… haha… your attitude makes a difference as you did a great job just “rolling with it”.

Nice that you had that long downhill run to coast on!

Great vid! I had the same problem on a 500 XCW. Hot bike, middle of nowhere, kept getting worse. I had put a new tank on before the ride, thought I had a pinched hose, acted like vapor lock. Ended up being the fuel relay.
