[@joemiller5548]

[@dualdorks]

No problem man. It was more fun than anything. Glad everyone was able to make it out . Hit me up if you all wanna go ride sometime. I'll be at that event this weekend but any other time

[@dualdorks]

Thanks man!

[@markkennedy5712]

No clickbait. Just fun stuff. Let us know some of the areas you ride.

[@ridgetop8161]

KTMers never talk to us. Guy lives three houses down from me, and won't even look my way when I'm on the Tdub :). Also, I hooked a bush one time like you did and didn't notice that party of it wrapped on the exhaust. Suddenly lots of smoke and panic came along. Great fun looking down and seeing flames shooting up from in front of your leg.

[@gonzo5738]

Thanks for the Great Video! I cant ride snow. I fall off and break shit. Bones and bike parts. What beautiful views and places to ride. Congrats on Breaking 700!!

[@DirtyDovi]

D, I'm only 2.5 minutes in, and already figured out that you must have 'smoked' your breakfast again! hahaha Nice Christmas-tree! 🤣👍 THIS is why so many people love your videos bro.. Ya make em' fun and More Than entertaining! As someone who knows - The sleep deprivation & insomnia definitely help. As bitter/sweet as that is. lol Man, those trails were sweet and great find with the berms and tracks.. Very cool. Kennedy Meadows - What an awesome lookin' place, and nice info. 3:40 - Hi Dog! 3:48 - Hi Other Dogs! 😂 Hey, kudos for helping out & clearing the road-debris - It's always nice to do that if/when we can! 5:39 - Abandon Ship! You must have entered the Dirtmuda Triangle.. 😂 Fish Creek Trails - Whoa dude, that place looks killer! Great stream, woods, etc. It reminds me of what's around here.. 6:50 - refer to the next few seconds: What were we JUST talking about last night?! hahaha 7:33 - Oh Hell Yeah!! Nice try!! 8:18 - There it is! Hahahaha *Clickbait Rant* - Good for you brutha! I'm with ya 100%! Click-Bait-Is-Lame. Raw/Real or don't even bother.. 👍👍 9:34 - 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Oh no.. Can't.. Stop.. Puking.. It's just something about that nasty white-stuff.. lol I still can't believe how much snow and ice you got.. That's wild! 10:46 - "Let me get in the snow" [Your famous last words] Bwahahahaha OMG dude, that was Hilarious! You SERIOUSLY need to make a looping GIF of that one! Glad it was a 'safe fall', and ya still had fun! 11:14 - 🍌🔨 Go a little bit easier next time.. lmfao So right around 11:50 I was going to say: "You should do a Tip-Over / Fall Compilation Video", buuut.. I don't think that KZbin's servers and the internet in whole would have enough file space or bandwidth to host all of that.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 25 - "Getting old" . . . . I hear ya brother, and at 40 now, most days, my body feels like absolute death.. Enjoy the pain-free years as long as ya can! And seriously try to keep an eye on your wrist.. [Mine are both all outa' whack and 1 even needed arthroscopic surgery] I'll never forget that! I just got TDub # 2, a few days later, had the surgery, I thought they said it was in-and-out.. Nope. I had to get a cast.. *Looks at bike.. Looks at right hand cast* Working the throttle and front break was damn near impossible.. Sooo, I took a Dremel cut-off wheel, and cut the top and bottom of the cast - keeping the sides there for a 'hinge'. It killed, but, I was able to keep riding! hahaha Years later - That wrist still absolutely kills almost non stop. Oops. The overlooks / views out there are just insane! The hill-climb looked really fun - almost exactly what I'm used to back home in Central NY 4:06 - Yes! The 'Creepy Cabin' aka my future-home if I ever make it out that way.. I love that place. 🤘😂 When you walked in and panned over to that table.. [Insert some historical facts] That's where the Roswell Alien Autopsy took place! LOL 14:56 - Ah no way, that is Too Cool. I would seriously hit that place back up with my electrical-gear and try to fix the power setup.. It'd be killer to get that back up and running again! The Upstairs - Dude, that was friggin' awesome, and I'm really glad that you took the time [and had the balls] to check the place out! I would totally crash there for a night. Hills Have Eyes people be damned. haha The mud & snow covered run that you tried.. Man, Great Attempt! That sort of stuff is always so hit and miss, and a pain on TWs.. Our bikes are so light and have such wide tires that they tend to want to 'float', vs. sinking down and catching grip - Like w/ heavier bikes.. It's almost like comparing a Honda Civic to a Volkswagon Golf [in winter weather] Now ya know why I was tempted to stud some tires! 2:49 - "I'm not going to go too far in..." 2:51 - Well, ya called that! Hahaha *"Dirtbikes Only"* - WOW! That's rad! And that's something we'd Never see here in NY.. Too cool, and what a killer lookin' place! Now that I got to see more of those trails, and the down-hill-section[s]... wow Wow WOW Nice riding bro! I can assure you that I most likely and almost most definitely would have eaten it there too! It's been yeeeaaars since I got to hit trails with that many large rocks/obstacles, and as fun is it is - After the fact.. When yer' trying to navigate and ride that stuff in real time, it's a pure adrenalin rush and chaos at the same time. [Another reason why I've always wanted to get a dedicated Trials-Bike] That'd be wayyy too much fun! Those trails, rolling hills, mountains, rivers . . . Ya just can't beat that! Awesome! 2:34 - 2;35 Mmmmmmm!! That's what I'm talking about!! D, Just when ya think it's over.. Sometimes the real adventure just begins.. How cool was it to catch up with those other riders, and then come to the rescue in the end.. That's bad-ass! I'm really stoked for ya that you got to find a little crew to cruise with and have fun, and it's great that you all had a blast and got home safe n' sound. Talk about a Win-Win-situation! I really Really REALLY hope ya get to go on the big ride coming up here.. In the event that 'they' do end up canceling or trying to cancel it - You all should do a "No Comply Ride" anyways! Either way.. It'd be a blast. Sam - PS: I think I just took the usual 'mini-novel' up to 'full-novel' status. 😂 Great video brutha!!

[@dualdorks]

Thanks for watching Sam . It was quite the adventure. Glad I had no issues that day. One dude blew a radiator and the other guy was having clutch problems lol. The T dub is slow but its a tank. The other guys had no idea what the bike was but they were very impressed. It was really nice to ride with other people. Its always just me and I can only talk to myself for so long haha. Let me know more about that event. Probably can't make it out this year but I want to head back east sometime for a bit

[@DirtyDovi]

​@@dualdorks Welcome bro! Yeah man, that was a great adventure and then some! Whoa, those guys were having troubles on top of troubles.. Bummer.. Well, I guess that's what they get for not having TDubs! 🤣 Glad they were able to get the majority of everything sorted out though. Having others to ride with - Yeah, I hear ya! Especially since I almost always ride solo also.. Your problem is - You just talk to yourself.. In my case, I get to talk to all the other voices in my head. What a crazy crew! hahaha The event - I was referring to YOUR event.. The Vegas one.. [I probably just didn't type it well enough to make sense] 🤪 Hey, if you do ever decide to cruise back down this way, definitely keep me posted in advance.. If there's a possibility of catching up, I'll be sure to find a way to figure out a place for you to stay.. [Spot for the truck / motorhome / etc] It'd be a blast to terrorize some trails with you around here!

[@littlefishy6316]

Lovely scenery, laughed when you laughed when your bike went it's own way, best way to be.

[@jonny6758]

awesome vid man I had a dr200 years ago lots of fun man

[@dualdorks]

Been on the lookout for one on the marketplace. It would be a good loaner bike for my friends . I also want to compare the tw200 to the DR

[@jonny6758]

@@dualdorks yeah deffinly it's crazy how much in price these things are now I bought a used dr 200 for like 1100 bucks now there ranging anywhere from 2500 same year same miliage I bought mine back in 2010 just crazy and it's hard finding them as well or a bargain on them

[@dualdorks]

@@jonny6758 it was very annoying trying to buy a used t dub. People wanted way to much for used bikes . They are going for $3500+ used . Doesn't matter what year it is. Anything less than that somebody will share it right away and it will be gone in hours . I ended up getting mine from the dealership. Its the 2017 but it was basically brand new with 30 miles on it when I got it.

[@gonzo5738]

I have a DR650 but I’m getting older and mine weighs 360 lbs. thinking about a TW or XT

[@dualdorks]

Had the older DR650 that was kick start only. That thing was a beast but it was heavy. Either option is a good choice . I choose the TW because I wanted something for Singletrack and trails plus it had the atv tire which gives it so much grip . I got tired of kickstarting bikes and wanted something with electric start lol

[@gonzo5738]

Also haul it on a hitch-hauler in back of my motorhome and it’s heavy to load. I live in the south, any ideas about where I could travel to find a used TW or XT? They are almost nonexistent down here

[@dualdorks]

@@gonzo5738 just got to keep an eye out on the marketplace on Facebook or Craigslist. I had the same problem before I bought mine. The ones that were available, people were asking just about full price for a 10 year old bike . It was frustrating. I ended up seeing mine at my local dealership. It had 25 miles on it and somebody traded it in for something else. I traded my xr650r in for it .

[@littlefishy6316]

@@dualdorks here in Scotland can't buy a new Tdub, not sold here and high prices or people are chopping them up into "cafe racers".

[@TaskSwitcherify]

At 11:34, are you taking it easy or is this the bike's max climbing pace?

[@dualdorks]

Taking it easy. Way to much slippery ice to be hauling through there

[@MrPatrickgannon]

Wow when you mentioned you have problems sleeping I could not believe it, I also have been diagnosed with three sleeping disorders. Insomnia is one of them, man it's awful isn't it I went four days once and eventually was hospitalized I can relate believe me. If you want to know a few things that help me get at least six hours day or night let me know, I can always email you, text or hell call you as far as that goes. Have you had sleep studies? very important stress is a big factor, but really if you want some help let me no I have learned a lot about it especially because it has had a HUGE negative impact on my life. With that said I found a dealer about 45 minutes from my house who is selling me a 2021 tw 200 tomorrow. Finally I found a place willing to help me out a little, I pick it up Saturday, have a good Thanksgiving if I do not talk to you by then, let me know if you want some help on that subject take care buddy.

[@dualdorks]

Hell yeah man! Excited for ya. Glad you were able to find a dealer with one. Thats a good early Christmas present. I been sleeping a little bit better the last two nights but definitely need to do a sleep study soon.

[@MrPatrickgannon]

@@dualdorks Thanks man I thought I was going to need to wait another two months because of Christmas, you know put others before myself like I have always done. Not complaining a little frustrated at first but I got that out as you know so I was fine with it. Today I get a call from the same dealer and they said yes we will drop the dealer fees and I agreed to the price, and then BAM! sold. So I pick it up Saturday I will do a short video. The sleeping issue thing definitely get it under control, if the insomnia is not advanced then the over the counter LIQUID-sleep aid will help, if it is advanced like mine then a DR prescription is the way to go. However need to be real careful with that been on it for years, I have experienced every side effect that shit has. Just be careful that's all, talk to you soon looking forward to your next video.

[@littlefishy6316]

enjoy your tdub, best wishes from Scotland. I've worked shifts in the past, messes with your sleep. Hope things improve

[@MrPatrickgannon]

@@littlefishy6316 Yes thanks I get it today at 11 am very excited, your right night shift is really bad for ones health. A combination of that and sometimes stress and anxiety is the leading cause, the prescriptions for sleep help but they are only a temporary band aid.

[@joshuawilliams2307]

Where did you get that seat cover and how much do you like it I’m looking for one

[@dee151]

I watch your channel cause i want to buy a 2021 TW200 in the next few months, im a short guy 5'5 so i really like this bike, Plus i never rode a bike lol.... this will be my first bike, Question, can you please post a link for that bar headlight you have please...

[@dualdorks]

Thanks for watching man. Its the JNS LED headlight but I wouldn't recommend it to be honest. Its barely better than stock. I'd recommend just putting a different bulb in the stock headlight . I ran a h4 led on a stock headlight assembly and it was awesome. H4 9003 HB2 LED Headlight Bulb, CAR ROVER 50W 10000Lumens Extremely Bright 6000K CSP Chips Hi/Lo Beam Conversion Kit, 2 Years Warranty www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQFCPN7/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_R.JTDb1EV7XVX I got a harbor freight LED that I mostly use off road and that thing is really good

[@fireinside1984]

If you ever sell that bike please list it as "Never been droped"

[@getrippt]

Do you like that seat cover? After about an hour of riding, the stock seat gets uncomfortable for me. I think I’ve seen that cover on Amazon.

[@dualdorks]

I like it. Dirty Dovi showed me it on discord and its comfy. Still got to stand and get blood flow to my legs but a lot better than just the stock seat
