Dangerous Mountain Pass with only 1 Arm!!! Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route ep 3

Riding the dangerous Hagerman pass in Colorado on a motorcycle is tough. Riding a motorcycle with one arm is incredibly challenging. Riding a motorcycle with one arm on Colorado’s famous passes is just crazy. Watch David overcome his disability by saying “NO” to whatever fear he may have to attempt to conquer the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route on a Honda 450 RL.
This adventure will take us through some of Colorado’s hidden dirt roads and infamous rugged trails that few people will ever experience.
The #COBDR is mostly dirt roads across the state. We take some of the most difficult passes and most remote backcountry routes offered by this incredible map.
I want you to comment so I can hear from you on your thoughts on this one. I think you are going to love this guys story. We will bring you beautiful drone shots and great riding footage accompanied by a few crashes along the way.
This video is episode three of the COBDR (Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route) This episode starts in Gypsum CO and ends at Buena Vista Colorado. This is also known as section 4 of the COBDR

I feel bad for ever complaining about anything, David you're an inspiration you ROCK ! you too Brock thanks for bringing me along

[@daviddrabek5834]

Thank you!! Brock is awesome, great group of guys!

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. Good perspective. Watching Dave ride is an inspiration.

[@daviddrabek5834]

Epic trip Brock, it was truly an honor riding with you guys! I can’t wait for the next video!!

[@vipersniper3216]

You did awesome David looks like you never hit ground lol Brock love the content makes me want to get a bike again..

[@MotoMission.]

You are the best. More adventure coming

[@jerryyeast6271]

As an old guy who’d never been on a bike until my mid-fifties, I was lucky enough to fall in with a great group of younger riders who mentored me. We’ve done several of the BDR’s over the last ten years, including CO. I considered Hagerman one of the toughest for me, especial that one rocky climb. Meeting David online as he considered buying my KTM 500 is inspiring. To do what he does is truly over the top in never giving in to your assumed limitations. At 82, I don’t know how much is left, but I hope I”m lucky enough to keep on for a bit more. David shows me to not impose limits on what we can do. Whistler

[@MotoMission.]

Jerry. Are you riding adventure at 82? I want to meet you dude. That’s awesome. I want to hear what you have to say. Where do you live ? Any chance we cross paths ?

[@MattSieber]

Brock, your approach to the situation when the gentleman fell off the side of the trail was absolutely spot on. Stop and assess the situation and figure it out first 👍. So many of us just jump immediately into action and try to lift the bike. Which typically compounds the recovery effort.

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. Thanks for saying that. I was worried he was gin a hold on to the bike as it slid over the edge. I just didn’t want someone to get hurt Glad we had the group involved to recover the bike. It was a tricky situation.

[@dirtpirateracing1629]

The views are breath taking, the friendships are everlasting and David is inspiring! I have had the pleasure of racing a harescramble with a gentleman who had a prostetic clutch hand. I learned quickly not to complain about how sore i was, because he was absolutely amazing out there and never complained once. I believe the Lord places people in our lives for a reason and i feel truly blessed to have met so many inspirational people. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure and new found friendships!

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. Thanks for watching these videos. And I am glad you are enjoying the ones with David. He is definitely inspirational.

[@Motoramblings]

I don’t know if I could ride that kind of terrain, and Dave is crushing it, that’s so awesome!!!

[@MotoMission.]

That pass ain’t easy. The camera doesn’t show how steep it is. And the rocks are bigger in real life. Dave and I were just talking about the video and shocked at how small the rocks look and how flat it looks. I guess you just gotta go with me next time and see for your self. Let’s ride !

[@Motoramblings]

@@MotoMission. you might be the only person that could convince me to go with them, because I know you would be super helpful, without getting (too) frustrated!😂🤣😂🤣

[@ringside141]

Many thanks to Brock, David, Kory, Doug. And Auni. Couldn’t ask for a better group. (Husky starter turned out to be the clutch safety switch. I bypassed it and didn’t have any other issues). Hagerman pass was a great time. Everyone passing thru was so happy to be there.

[@daviddrabek5834]

It was like an ADV family reunion up there! So glad we made the trip!

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. Glad that bike was good to you. You looked like you were having fun and that’s all I cared about. Had a blast. Again soon please.

[@osimnod]

Stunning scenery and some challenging tracks up those passes. Very impressed with David taking it all in stride. That adds credence to the BMW training on riding one-handed and in various states of balance with foot position. Brock, you're a welcome addition to any group.

[@MotoMission.]

Hey there. I am happy to read your awesome comment today. How have you been ? Maybe someday you ride with us

[@FrancoisTX1974]

Amazing video, tks man. David, respect. You went over it and it’s impressive. Keep going guys and make me dream.

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. Absolutely amazing. More coming. Let’s ride !

[@Moto_Steve_Adventures]

Stinkin epic! I rode that in late August and dropped my bike right where David started into Hagerman Pass. It took 3 of us to get it upright and I decided to turn around and take highway through Aspen over Independence Pass to Buena Vista. The cool thing for me was I got to ride Frying Pan Road around Rudi Reservoir. Best pavement in Colorado, trust me! So much fun. Glad you’re making these videos and it’s awesome to see you riding with David. Maybe I’ll get to ride with you someday as well.

[@MotoMission.]

Heyyyyy. Come ride w me any time my friend. Yeah hagerman is a tough one. Heavy bikes can struggle in that stuff. I need to ride that pavement you speak of. Hmmmmm……. I gotta go do it!

Hey Brock! Thanks for great and clean videos! Well dirty ,but the clean sort of dirt! Ha! As for David: He is such an inspiration and I agree with all the great comments, but I never heard whether David had a special setup for his bike. Does he? Blessings brother!

[@MotoMission.]

Thanks for reaching out. Glad you are liking the clean bike vids. His bike is normal. But he has a rekluse clutch that makes it possible to change gears with out the left hand

[@onasledoverland]

Fun video Brock!. Went over Hagerman maybe a couple weeks after you. Snow and sleet on the way up. Clear on the way down Unfortunately, it killed my views So fun you collected friends on this ride. Very cool. ❤❤.

[@MotoMission.]

I loved that pass. As you can probably tell, the video doesn’t show how steel and rocky it actually is. But it’s a wonderful pass.

He has a rekluse clutch. So its basically able to change gear with out a clutch. Pretty cool tech

[@obrianmcc]

Props to David for grabbing life by the horns and getting it done. I recall seeing a Mountain Biker using a prosthetic ... has David looked into this? Seems like it could help with stability and leverage ... although $$$

[@MotoMission.]

He has figured it out. His day job is construction. Crazy
