Dirtbike From The Top Of Cliffhanger

Got a call while I was over in Colorado picking up Lilli for a damaged dirtbike on top of the Cliffhanger Trail. Told them we could run in in the morning to grab it. Customer asked how I would get it out and I said on my trailer. Which they followed up with my favorite line 'you can't take a trailer in there'. So the next morning Lilli and I loaded up in Trailmater and Mike followed us in Wile E. So we ran up to the top, passed the actual cliffhanger obstacle and got the bike, brought it back down to the shop and the customer picked it up later. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Lily just graduated 1st grade and already has more off-road experience than your average mall crawler.

Later in life, she'll be teaching her boyfriend how to offroad! 😎👍

[@TrevorDennis100]

How a girl her age can feel relaxed enough to sleep, with a thousand foot cliff two feet to her side of the wrecker, is nothing short of astonishing. Come to think of it, she was with her dad the day Shawn was being towed out of Kane Creek and the trail gave way beneath his back wheel. I still get shivers thinking about that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWerlJKaqbN-iJo

My little one fell asleep and remained asleep next to a ear piercing smoke alarm which I couldn't reset.. (accidently turned the oven to grill mode, no fire).. No idea how, but kids don't seem to care... When they WANT to sleep, they can sleep... It's just getting them to want it is the problem.

Miss Lily is such a little ray of sunshine on your channel and it’s always a pleasure to see her out there on a rescue.

[@jerrybauman6927]

Simply amazes me how Rory can take a dually, towing a trailer, with a 1st grader as co-pilot on trails that most people would say "impossible" to drive.

[@Hat6000]

I can see why the customer had his doubts about the trailer, but then he just didn't know about the Trailmater did he? Makes the difficult look easy and the impossible just might take a few more minutes. (I suspect Rory enjoys the impossible a bit more, if he knows the meaning of the word at all LOL) Lili trusts her Daddy...so she can be bored hanging on the edge of a sketchy cliff or take a little nap. She's so funny! Always love it when Lili is along. Usual beautiful scenery, what a place!

[@orangepickel2]

The shot of Lilly sleeping while bouncing over rocks, precious, no fear totally trust in dad. She should have some great adventure stories to share with classmates when school starts in Fall. Unrelated a story my teacher refuse to believe when I was her age, weekend sailing trip on a 70-foot schooner, island of Guam, while returning to the harbor ahead of us a large round object popped out of the ocean into the air about 20'. I informed my dad, he was talking with other friends, there was about thirty of us on the sailing vessel, he looked at the object in the water, his face turned white jumps up, said something I cannot repeat, ran to the helm station informed the owner/captain of the sailing vessel that we had a magnetic mine in the water that ahead of us. We needed to alter course. The schooner was a steel hull. After we got back into the harbor the captain of the vessel owner informed the United States Navy and they sent patrol boats out and blew up the WW2 Japanese mine 1942. This was in 1962, during show and tell in school on Monday. Teacher told me to sit down and shut up, I was lying. During lunch recess she went and spoke with my mother; to complain about me who also taught school in the same school. Saying that I had too vivid of an imagination. My mother said, everything he said is the truth and I also was on that sailboat.

Lilli is at that age where she'll start to be part of Rory's operation, meaning, looking forward to seeing her starting to learn how to drive. I was a big kid growing up and at 6 could operate any of the farm tractors. Lilli needs a little off road go kart she can drive around the shop. She'll be running the operation before anyone realizes it.

Rory reminds me of my Dad in some ways. I was mowing the yard on our first lawn tractor at eight years old. Of course, I was a big kid. 👍😆

[@dennisschofield2881]

For a single bike recovery, the trailer is a bit of overkill. Have you ever thought of a hitch mount bike carrier. You could design and build it, maybe use the boom to load it. I think it would decrease the time it takes to do a recovery considerably. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work. You constantly blow my mind with your off-road and mechanical skills.

[@tedecker3792]

Had exactly the same thought. 1200GS is trailer time however. We had to get one back from the side trail off white rim, whatever it’s called that goes down to the river. Got it in the back of a Toyota pickup using 8! Tie down straps. 4low crawl back up at 1am. Type 2 fun.

I figured just hang it from Trail Mater's boom, with a couple lines to keep it from swinging.
