Challenging Trails on a Yamaha TW200. Walker Valley ORV

Slick conditions on snow and ice covered trails with a Yamaha TW200

[@jjym1259]

You sir, a gentleman and a scholar. Just bought a 2024 tw. Best purchase ever.. Your video is a testament that this bike can do a lot that a Rokon can do. Except maybe in the dunking/floating/fill up your tire with gasoline department. But that'd be apocalypse scenario. Up here in Canadon't there'd be no Red Dawn!

Great riding and the t dub done great in some very harsh conditions, great job 👍🍻

[@pnwguy221]

Nice work DD.

[@jak3est]

The trails on the 2nd half of your video are sick ! I wish we had stuff like that in the northeast they've turned everything into walking trails here. It might be 60 degrees tmrw i might have to take mine out itching to ride now that most the snows gone 🤙🏻

[@ItsRael108]

[@ItsRael108]

[@BillySBC]

Very cool rear rack. I hear you I can't wait for spring want to take my bike out even if it snows.

Got Bradley Performance skid plate for my 13 TW, great quality product. Good luck with the shock. Want to see the comparison vid

[@ridgetop8161]

Also, looking forward to hear what you think of that Bradley shock. Sure wish my rear had broken when the Bradleys were in stock. I'm stuck with OEM for the time being.

[@ChristosKonstantinou-kz1tv]

Love your videos bro keep up the good work

[@mrmarkthompson2361]

Love Your Videos On Your Adventures. You Should Remove Handle Bars Mirrors When You Ride Off Road To Prevent Damage.

@@dualdorks I very seldom say anything while I am in the middle of crashing. I say plenty AFTERWARDS though. My TW went over backwards last fall, and ended up laying on my leg. Thank goodness I wore my slip-on mini-boots that day, and I was able to slide my foot out of the boot and out from under the bike. If I had worn my lace-up boots, I would have had to use my PLB to get someone out to lift that bike off of me. Like you, I ride alone most of the time. I always carry my PLB, do you have one of those? If not, you should get one. Crap happens! It might save your life, or at the very least enable you to get back home so that you can make another video for me to watch. LOL

[@dualdorks]

@BuilderofRat I have an inreach mini but I usually only carry it while I'm out in the desert. At Walker I have plenty of cell service

[@BuilderofRat]

@@dualdorks One time many years ago. long before cell phones, 2 of my friends and I were riding our dirt bikes in the spring up in the mountains. We climbed enough in elevation that we were into the snow. The snow was so hard that it was like riding on frozen sand dunes. It was awesome. We made our way to the top of the mountain where there was a fire look-out tower. We all climbed to the top and leisurely ate our lunch. We got ready to leave and fired up our bikes, and as soon as we took off, all 3 bikes sunk into the snow to the frames. We were 5 miles of snow covered roads away from dirt, and then 15 miles from the trucks after that. We decided to wait until the snow froze up again to attempt to make it out. We built a fire in the wood stove in the lookout and waited. Around midnight, it had set-up enough to move. I had the only bike with a headlight. We made it back to the trucks, and then home to some very upset wives. They had not called our, failure to return home, in yet, but they were less than pleased. This happened over 50 years ago. Somehow we managed to survive until now, however, the PLBs give a lot of "Pease of Mind" to my solo excursions.

[@frostbitevinnie]

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Bradley shock!

[@dualdorks]

Will do. I will be home this upcoming weekend finally . Hopefully I'll have time to install it

[@KusiuStunt]

there is no way would get past that trail with my old tenere

[@ryandelehanty8368]

what do you think of the bradley high performance kit?

[@dualdorks]

havent had the time to install it yet. I work nights hopefully i can wake up early enough in the middle of the week and slap it on lol. I will have a video about it soon for sure.

[@johnF56]

What's going on with your headlight?

[@dualdorks]

In reality nothing is wrong its just the shutter speed of the camera causing that effect

[@inqufox1750]

o7 T dub fairings you lasted almost 40 years!

[@BarnOwlProject]

Damn boi. What dat headlight do? 😂

[@dualdorks]

I'm putting a regular incandescent bulb back in. It's just the effect with the frame rate too. In real life it doesn't look like that

[@BarnOwlProject]

@@dualdorks lol I know bro. I'm just messing with you. Shutter speed n such. On my older tdub I did an LED but on my newer one with the higher output stator I honestly think the filament bulb is pretty nice

[@Fateracing]

The 87s picky about their choice of LEDs. I’m going to try one that supposedly works. I’ll let you know how it works out. Keep the videos coming. Bravo Zulu

[@ItsRael108]

Did you ride your tw in the Mojave Desert??

[@dualdorks]

I did. I lived out there for 2 and a half years . I actually just got back from a mini vacation with the TW and KLX in the Mojave desert

[@ItsRael108]

@@dualdorks your highly blessed having your bikes Mojave, I can't complain either, I live in Scotland and after many years im returning to light enduro, I have t dub 200 I've hardly used however now you have inspired me to put down the tdr250 and chill out a bit getting to know my wee fat ass yamaha. Thanks kick-starting my enduro/off-road interests & good memories not to mention a good track record of safety Max respect 🤜🤛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🍻🏍️🛵

[@Abyssdiver]

Check out Capitol State Forest in Olympia as well Rock Candy Mountain near Shelton WA. There is a trail you can ride from one park to the other it takes about an hour one way non stop.
