I did everything as in the case of my KTM 1090 Adventure S with crashbars and the characteristic thing is that the 24 mm bushings are too large and there is a risk of being 22 mm. Very strange that something is wrong with my set.

dirt bike and a bb gun for xmas , you parents are legends, that's one lucky kid !!

Nicely put together, Mario. Aside from unloading the 1290 in Minnesota for some flatland riding, I've not ridden any of the roads east of Montana. I've done a fair amount of riding in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana (where I live). The loop around and through Glacier National Park is a great day ride. For those who've never ridden through Glacier however, the summer-time travel through the park and over Logan Pass can be jam-packed with slow traffic. The clutch hand can get a workout. There are lots of sources for maps of some great roads throughout the Pacific Northwest. Highway 12 from Lolo Montana, over Lolo Pass, to Kooskia, is one of my favs, even in spite of the low (50mph) speed limit. The loop around Mt. Rainier is a good ride as well. In Oregon, the Barlow Road and the Santiam Wagon Road was great.

Im 6'4 240lbs. I ordered a 2XL and its tight around my shoulders and arms. I had to take out the armor because its too tight especially when I wear a hoodie underneath. I have plenty of room in the belly area.

I’ve seen where some people use a fork oil level gauge when adding oil. I personally never have. Do you think it really matters? P.S. excellent video. You really simplify the process.

The bolt that you were undone to empty the coolant out of the bike is that also the bleed screw

Whew! I was worried, a trip through SD with a stop at the Corn Palace wouldn't be complete without the world famous Wall Drug -the free ice water and 5c coffee always get me :P

Glad I have a Guzzi

Great video man, I will buy one

No Florida roads 😂? In all seriousness, I was impressed by the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades. There were a few turns and it adds to the adventure seeing Alligator, Panther, Bear, and Deer crossing signs on the same road.

Thank you for the review. I’m looking at this one.

What about the Rocky Mountains??

Can this fit a 23 sas. Cant seem to find bracket that fits?

Wow. I've only done 4 of them. I feel like such a slacker. 😅

Great vid and list Since WV is next to me in OH so please do provide a top 10 WV roads 😁 My favorite road is probably the skyway of roads ridden, but SE OH has some awesome roads as well. I still need to ride west of OH…

I think the later 620 did have a sixth gear.

California State Route 36 - 1,811 curves in 140 miles!

Interesting list, only one I've done on a bike is the Dragon, did Beartooth on a car trip. There are several NC state roads I did last trip that were great rides, I'd have to look up the numbers (215 is one of them, also US276 but there were a couple others as well, all near Brevard). Don't know what conditions are like there now though with the hurricane damage. Back of the Dragon is higher on my list than the Tail, also The Snake, several times I've put together the Back of the Dragon, Snake and US58 for over a thousand curves in a few hours of riding.

Love the List, most are on my Bucket list. The Dragon is the only one I was priviledge to ride. A lot of great rides in the Smokey Mtn. Did all of those you mentionned and my favorite after the Dragon is the Moonshiner Hwy 28. OMG was that a fun and beautiful ride. Thanks for these videos you do, its always fun to watch. Patrick in Sherbrooke Qc ✌️

Great idea for this video. Last summer, my nephew Weston, picked up a few lumps of WV coal at Nuttleburg. He put one on Pikes Peak, Beartooth Pass, and I think Independence Rock on our bike trip. Those 3 places are now linked to us.

SR190 Loved it, Outstanding.. Loved Death Valley too!!

Colorado Rt 65 - Grand Mesa Hwy. Can ride that on your way to million dollar highway. Both spectacular

Historic California state route 49, the highway is approx 160 miles and runs north to south. It passes through Little towns that are associated with the 1849 gold rush. It also has a section of road that many locals on motorcycles call the little dragon. It is approximately a 13 mile ride through lots of twisties. The little dragon starts south of Coulterville, California. My recommendation to ride if you find yourself on the east side of California in the foothills.

Great series! Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Very helpful with planning my 2025 ride to Deadhorse.

Great video! I like hwy 12 Lolo Pass and NC 209 “The Rattler.”

Curious what your favorites are in West Virginia.

HY 14 in Wyoming between Burgess Junction and Greybull is a beautiful 56 miles snaking down out of the Bighorn Mountains through Shell Canyon. Lesser known but very special, with a 100' + waterfall along the way. I rode down it earlier this summer after finishing Section 7 of the WY BDR and was delighted.

Great info thanks Mario for taking the time to share.

When I ride the tail of the dragon,I ride it during the week. There's a lot less traffic.

Awesome list. Highly recommend Mount Evans in CO. I’d say that is my #1 to date. If Lock Heart Basin did kick my arss so badly I’d put it up there. lol!! Been on a few of the others and looking forward to the adventure of the rest. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great list. I have ridden so many great roads they all have their own personality. I need to do #3, #7 I will finish #1 this summer🤞. I would rate my favorite place to ride is Colorado I have done just about every cool paved road west of Denver and a few unpaved. I would put Mt Evans in my top 10

WA Hwy 20 through North Cascades National Park is amazing.

Southeast of Sylva NC, the 281 (Canada road), is a must ride in the area of the Tail.

YES, please do a top ten WV roads!

Hint, don’t over tighten the petcocks. Also for the crash bars install studs at the bottom near the battery and it makes it a lot easier to install the crash bars

Great list. I’ve been lucky enough to ride most on the list. The Dalton is still ahead for me. Utah 12 is one of my favorites.

Great list! I've ridden most of those and they were spectacular. Beartooth would likely make my Top 10. Utah 12 is nice as well! I rode the Shafer Trail a few months ago and had a spill in one of those sandy washouts at the bottom of a hill. Oooof! Awesome ride though! I rode the Dalton in dry weather going north and in solid rain all the way south. That was 2 entirely different experiences. :) It's a real adventure ride! Alaska has some fantastic gem roads besides the Dalton. The Richardson Hwy down to Valdez blew my mind with it's vastly changing scenery over a short distance, including Thompson Pass and descending down the fjords into Keystone Canyon with waterfalls on both sides of the road as you approach the coast. Superb! Ride safe.

Great video. You haven't tamed a Dragon until you've tried the REDNECK DRAGON (Hwy 32 from Cosby TN to Waterville NC - and beyond), which is on the other end of the Smokies from Tail of the Dragon. Great ADV road too because it turns to gravel at the TN/NC line with more good ADV riding beyond. HMU next time you come to East Tennessee and I'll take you over there!

For that 240 mile stretch with no fueling stations I recommend having a reserve can of fuel that you can carry on the bike. I can’t imagine running out of fuel out there. Your right this is your list and most of your choices I’d agree with. I noticed you was on your 2007 fjr1300 in your pikes peak video I have that same bike. Did you know that was the only year for that color?

The Rattlesnake / Hwy 58 in Oregon is a great road.

I concur about wva, especially the eastern half with 79 being the dividing line. Roads west of there are crowded and, not very good pavement. Roads east are well kept and great. I really enjoy Knobbly rd (apparently the Warlocks do too) as I drop further south for day loops. The whole area south of the Tail of the Dragon is great but the Smokies are crowded and 25 mph the entire park, been there done that. I like the Back of the Dragon better. Three Twisted Sisters and Death Valley are definitely worthwhile routes. Did a loop around every Finger Lake in New York which have some great roads and many so so roads, but really liked 417 skirting the southern tier just above the Pa boarder on the way back to Pittsburgh. Enjoy your videos, hopefully will run into you something putting around PawPaw area or the Seneca Rocks area.

Cool video, I was surprised that several of them and the runners up I have been on. Highway 50 I have done in both directions.

120 from Yosemate to lee vining scenery is top notch. there's like 5-6 passes over the siera navada and are all worth it. the 20 in Washington like omak to discovery bay the whole thing, washingtons apple country, north cascades national park, deception pass, port townsend, and what do you know it connects to the 101 up and around the olimpic peninsula and shoot down to the astoria and that crazy bridge over the mouth of the Columbia river. the 101 in the middle of oregon is kinda mid stuck behind the dunes and all but then the samual bordman scenic corridor. then California where the sky opens up and the birds start chirping and your camping gear actually gets to dry, trinidad is crazy. then if youre brave you can take the lost coast, not even google knows where the roads go in the lost coast. i got lost in the lost coast, took a wrong turn out of honeydew and several hours later deep in the night ended up in shelter cove. then its a doddle to the start of hiway 1 in leggett. once the 1 hits the coast there are some campgrounds where you can see parts of the original 1 eroded off the cliffs and into the sea.

Great list! I’d add The Three Twisted Sisters because I’m a Texan at heart! Loved the Dragon the week before Thanksgiving… NO traffic (High), No Cameras (Low)… PCH sounds great, but I bet the fires kinda set that experience back. Lastly, I know it’s cliche, but US Route 1 to Key West is pretty unique…

Nice list. I've ridden a few of them, and most of the rest are on my bucket list (although, even if I get to Alaska, I think that I'm past being able to ride the Dalton on my H-D Heritage - oh, to be 30 years younger!). Some that are my favorites: US 276, between Maggie Valley and Traveler's Rest, NC, up and over the Blue Ridge Parkway. Doesn't have a nickname, no one sells t-shirts, stickers, or patches, but it totally kicks both the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Highway, combined - without the traffic, even on holiday weekends. AR-7, AR-123 (the Arkansas Dragon), and AR-374, between Dover and Harrison, AR. Almost better than it's more famous cousin, the Pig Trail, but with better scenery. IL-100/the Great River Road, between Alton and Grafton, IL. Not technical, just a nice cruise on one of the best stretches of the Mississippi River, past the Alton Bluffs and the Palisades. Talimena Skyway - between Talihina, OK and Mena, AR. A fun motorcycle ride (if the traffic's not to bad or the clouds too low), with spectacular views. US-14A/US-14 over the Big Horn Mountains - between Lovell and Dayton, WY. Going from the desert at the bottom on each side to the alpine meadows at the top, while hanging off the side of the cliffs on both ascents/descents. Chief Joseph Highway. How to get from Cody, WY to Beartooth Highway in the most spectacular fashion possible. Like your home state of WV, my home state of Missouri has far too many great roads to be able to pick from. You could come here for a month and almost never ride the same road twice.

Did 5 of the 10... I would add Florida A1A down in the Keys....

To be a contrarian: Pikes Peak is a skip. Born/raised in Colorado, moved away in my 20s, had never done it and decided to do it on a visit back home. Maybe 5 years ago I did it on my multistrada on a late summer weekday, kids back in school, not amazing weather, and it was packed to the tits. Insanely busy. Didn’t even get a sticker up top because the line was preposterous. Also I got in “trouble” for passing on double yellow (the entire road is double yellow, and a water truck was going 20 mph) and for going too fast in general. These Karens get OFF on calling you out on the radio and tracking you down. They’re not cops so you can tell them to pound sand but they WILL call the real cops eventually. So… Unless you are willing to ride behind someone going 35 mph or slower the ENTIRE time, lest you have your peepee smacked, SKIP pikes peak. Edit: Mildly satisfied to say I’ve done two of these. PP and and Shafer Trail. Guess I have work to do.

My favorite road is Route 19 in North Georgia crossing Blood Mountain.

My man Mario! You are doing great work, thank you for all the awesome videos! I know you put a lot of effort into it, and we appreciate it! This yr, We did a trip 11 guys all Multistrada’s NY to TN. On way back, we detoured going up thru WV to Marietta GA. Looking back, WV has the most character and best vibe. I love the roads, coal mines, the people. OH is great too. We are blessed to have this as a passion. I’ll look you up next time I’m in WV. Roads near NYC: 1. 218 north of West Point. 2. Arden Valley in Harriman State Park 3. Frost Valley in between Claryville and Big Indian in Catskills NC 1. Devis Whip / Route 80 just south of Little Switzerland TN (I think you mention these too) 1. Foothills Parkway. Leads into the Dragon, smooth surface / very fast corners 2. Moonshiners. Big sweepers, tight switchbacks, leads into Clayton GA Take Care Man!

Highway 12 Lolo Montana to Lewiston Idaho
