How are you liking the Scorpion AT960? Is it still your primary helmet? How's the audio unit working for you. I've been debating between this and the XT 9000. I think the XT9000 comes with a go pro mount and that might suit me better. I'd like the flip up face but am not certain I really need that. It seems like it might be a issue when using a camera.

The AT960 is still my primary helmet. The helmet represents a great value. At $300 or so its a helmet that performs with helmets a tier above that price point. I don't use the flip up face very often so I'd agree you could probably pass on that feature. Though I use mine with a camera and it wasn't an issue. I did go back to a Cardo unit for communication. The Cardo is just better in every way. I was disappointed in the EXO system.

Can you?…probably yes for 90% on a small bike unless it’s wet.However, I think you’d have a much easier time throwing at least some 70/30 style tire with a bit of a tread. I personally would not do it on a pure road tire.

Those are much easier to kickstart when you have it in neutral, I mean you can kickstart them like that if you don't mind the bike lurching forward. BTW I owned the original CT125 a 1970 CT90 with a Powroll rebuilt performance stroker engine. It probably made about 14 hp.

Yes. It is definitely doable in two days as long as you don’t plan on much sightseeing. I think it was about 9 hours on section 1 and 2 and then about 7 hours for section 3. I didn’t stop except for a quick lunch and a couple of small breaks either day.

I had a 1000R2 1984 same green, the last year, i dont think it was so many manufactured. Bougth it from a closed down MC- educaitotion for "peanuts" in Sweden in1989. It had 12 miles on the meter, just testdrived at the schoolyard after simulated issues. I drove it for over 70 000 km and it was a wounderful bike, both on road and trackdays. Did some mods like 4 to 1 (not Kerker), Elr oilcooler,backward footpegs teflon and steel brakehoses, and so on. Sold it to a Finnish undertaker, and he was so happy i keept all the original parts, most happy for the original rubberbrakehoses, who was important for his registration in Finland

nice review of the BDR-X Chattahoochee... too do it over again, would you ride your GS or stay with your CRF300l? I have the Honda Africa Twin, and this loop looks like a blast on the smaller CRF300l... thx again for sharing your ride!
@BestoftheBackroads 3 ай бұрын
I am having a blast riding a small bike on these trips. I’ve been on either the CRF300l or DRZ400 the last several off road trips. For me there are a couple reasons. I can take more chances, explore more and pick “fun” lines. The light bike takes less effort to manage so I can put in a longer day riding. When I’m solo it can be picked up easier. The downside is more limited carrying capacity, less comfort, and slower on pavement than a big bike. I do love a GS and other big bikes as they are incredibly capable machines. Your Africa Twin will easily handle the route no sweat. If I go again tomorrow I’d grab the little 300L.

I enjoyed the BDR video showcasing the Chattahoochee BDR-X but it's great to get the user perspective, which is more of an honest user review rather than a promo video. I'm trying to convince my buddy with a stock CRF300L Rally to ride the Chattahoocheee BDR-X with me in 2-4 weeks. We'd probably make it a five day trip, with a day riding down and a day riding back. We'd be dispersed camping. Looks great!
