What KTM were you riding?

Hey guys, I enjoyed your video. The last time I did this route I stopped at the same church at 3:36 and used the spigot... at the time I felt like it saved my life as I was totally unprepared for the trip.

Went to VMD from 95 to 2018. AMA went downhill, VMD went downhill! AMA competition reduced to burning yer rear tire off on a sheet of plywood, oh, and lets not forget porta potty tipping ! Make VMD great again!

I want to sell my 550 gps it runs great and I have title 1000 dollars

Mt Graylock?

🤪 "promo sm"

Rip it!

Fantastic handling bikes -almost flawless. The 1983 GpZ 550 was probably the best of the 550 series. I put around 50,000 miles on my ‘83 GpZ 550. I had a Kerker exhaust system and also the much better looking aftermarket ‘Napoleon’ bar end style mirrors. The bike was positively sublime on twisty roads. Yes, I do miss the bike, very much. Not many of these have survived unscathed, and I understand finding many of the replacement parts for these GpZ bikes can be difficult. But, the memories….

liked that course but there wasn't to many places to pass at my skill level, Thanks for posting

I met you ar Chastin's, are you racing Barber this year? I'll be on my IT200, see you there!

What width tires did you use? My bike maxes out around 48-50ish in a 700c and I'm wondering if that would be "enough" tire if loaded up for a 2-3 day trip.

Do you feel the 200 was enough bike for this BDR?

omg. my first bike! i lived on that thing when i was poor.

have you ever tryed a 300 ?

What month was this?

Great video. Amazing stuff.

How did you like the course ? From my experience at Sunny Side ATV, dry, powdery sand is sure challenging to ride in.

You guys rode the dog snot outta that place. A visual and audio cornucopia. great riding and editing.

Thanks for this vid upload. I needed to know a little about the course without a pre ride. This helps a lot. Nice editing. A little bit of different sections. Great.

I had a gpz its a pity about the sound. Otherwise brill, and that's.

this is some coolstuff!

I meet you at the boundary pond and believe the picture at 5:32 was the one i snapped. Great vid. Good seeing you again.

What FMF pipe did you fit on there? Sounds very good

Nice work. I really appreciated seeing small dual sports doing it. I'm going to section ride it this year and seeing videos like this is really swaying the equipment decision from my GS to my KLX.

Great film. Make more.

Nice video, especially how you synched it to the music. Also, kudos to your mud riding. You rode it like it wasn't even there. Just blast right through. I need some of that confidence in the gooey stuff. Nicely done.

haha.. got me at da end.. looks like a blast!

Beautiful!!!!! A legend!

How long did it take you to do the 60 mile loop? I am doing it this year and can’t wait. Is there a route you can download?

Just bought an 1982 GPZ 550 as my first road motorcycle after years of motocross and off road only, I heard great things about performance and handling of these bikes...Thanks for sharing your video and go pro footage ..

I miss mine even more after watching this video. I bought a 1982 GPZ550 new when I worked at a Kawasaki shop in Maine. I've owned many bikes since that, but it still is the one that left a lasting impression even after all these years. I'd love to have one as nice as yours. That bike did everything I needed. I put almost 40,000 miles on it with zero issues. I even rode it from Maine to Florida and back. Talk about the ultimate UJM.

Nice work! Really captures the beauty of the west from a bikers view. I've been making some tat videos as well. Tough to learn the editing software for me, (getting to old to learn much more new stuff lol) We will see how it turns out. Appreciate the video!

Had a Z500, this bikes older brother. I had so much trouble getting, and keeping, the carbs balanced, that I decided not to get a GPZ550 when they came out. I still regret that decision. And, if a GPZ550 came up, at a sensible price, today. I'd buy it.

Been a while since I''ve been to TWO or rode Hwy 60. What bike are you on? Looks like a blast!

Sweet! Is the Puch a 2 speed?

Sucks you went down, awesome that you checked on the downed rider.

May I ask where this cross country race was held?

It’s always good to see this on the road! I have mine, and I’m the original owner... but it’s more of a doorstop at this moment!

Nice ride, Raniel! You were moving. That dude get run over on the opening lap?

This course looks so much fun

This still looks cool in 2020

What did you end up placing

Man you were laying it down!!!! Good Run!

Nice ride!

Love the part when you fell in the mud rut, 🐸 passed you.

You ride good. Follow a little closer and rev your bike and yell what side your coming by on. Your catching these guys from out of sight. You have to pass them.

My first ever race and it was a blast, can’t wait till next year, just hope the mud is gone lol

Dang, that last ditch got you. When that happens it just sucks all of your energy for a while. Good ride.

Looking good my friend.

love that bike
