I heard the trailer sctaches easy is this true? Thanks

@alaskafamilyoverlandadvent5047 Ай бұрын

The colored part of the trailer is a wrap. I haven't had an issue with scratches, but I would assume they would be rather permanent if they occurred. The rest of the trailer has some pinstripping but washes and waxes out with ease.

Nice video, felt like I was riding it again. Rode the Denali highway for the first time after D2D, came south from Fairbanks and camped just past the Sustina in an area just east of the river. Stopped for breakfast at Tangle Lake lodge on the way towards Delta Junction. Also had great weather, incredible views and road was in good condition. Sub'd for the next installment.

Disagree. If I had to spend as much as he did to go pick up a trailer I'd leave a review and rundown too. He even said verbatim that not everyone is able to do that. 😂

There are a few campgrounds on the road up to the pass, mile 10.5 Government Peak Campground, mile 14ish, Gold Mint, and Mile 17 Fishhhook Trailhead have spots for tent camping. Stay bear aware!

I saw a motorhome (small) down the other side the direction you were going all the way to Alfred creek. I've spent a lot of time in this area over the past 40+ years. Taking some friends back up in a couple weeks to play and listen to live music at the lodge.

She skipped a few steps there between a 310 and 1250! And apparently added a “step” in between there too! Congratulations! The R1250GS is a fantastic motorcycle. The heated seat is not standard on the GSA…it is optional on both the GS and GSA. It actually handles very lightly with the low COG.

@davidkendall1614 Жыл бұрын

@@spencervidal3168 Bullshit. Check your measurements. You don’t have feet? The heads on my GS extend about 3 inches farther than the foot pegs. They extend 10 inches from the frame. And according to the app taking onboard measurement, I am pulling lean angles almost 40 degrees without even trying and nowhere near touching the heads. If the your engine is 10 inches wide, you must have a small single. And it is in a frame, with pegs, and cannot be 10 inches wide overall. A pedal bike is wider than that. I used to think the boxer was stupid for off-road. And on a narrow single track…less than 40 inches wide …sure a narrower bike would be better. The advantage though is that it gives an extremely low COG and the handling is superior vs a top heavy narrow bike. Plus if you do drop it, it is very easy to pick up vs a bike laying flat. Get a GS on a twisty and you’ll see what “atrocious lean angles” will yield. Better yet, ride one.
