#DirtBikeDiet

[@bradrussell624]

haha heard machine gun fire...is that how you dialed in your carby...please let us in on the secret, thanks for sharing :)

[@evilsimeon]

Like watching someone ride a driveway.

[@mar1video]

Congratulations on achieving your goal, Hermit ! I'm pretty sure, Israeli woodpeckers are so happy that you mentioned them in your video !

[@HermitDaVlog]

I think so.

[@westtexasdualsport7090]

Cool trail man, congrats on the weight loss and the XR 400!

[@HermitDaVlog]

Thanks!

[@BlakeRTyler]

Congrats Hermit!

[@HermitDaVlog]

Thanks!

[@scottsoffroad]

After a stressful day at work.It's nice to watch some of your video's w/humor riding & more make a good end to the day on a lighter note.Ty Hermit & say hi to your riding buddy for me as well.Keep up the good work brother.

[@danodbdb]

Congrats on losing 30lbs! Can't wait to see the xr400 reveal!

[@HermitDaVlog]

Thanks, me either.

[@oldschooldirtbiker]

Congrats on the bike build and weight loss Hermit..The XR build is COOL😎😎 can't wait for the reveal.. I need the dirt bike diet..If I lost 30 pounds I would still be the fattest Dualsport rider in the USA..😮😫

[@HermitDaVlog]

Then you got nothing to lose... er. ah.. wait...

[@PeanOutside]

Do you feel like you have way more power on 400 after riding the 250 only for a while? I'm looking to buy one or the other soon.

[@HermitDaVlog]

Yes the bikes actually feel completely different. XR250 feels like a favorite pair of boots. It's easy, comfortable and does what you ask. The XR400 is more fun, but not as casual if you just want to putt around. You have to show it more respect, but it will climb up a tree if that's what you want.

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

I heard a woodpecker on Friday in the woods and my initial thought was, "oh shit full auto dumping," then I came to my senses and realized it was just a woodpecker.

[@JacobRshepard]

Congrats on getting the bike out, looks great! Looking forward to seeing you go over the changes at a later date. The XR250R makeover video is one of my favorite videos to show people. Also, I take it the person you had sign the duplicate title was the previous owner who had registered for the street and not the person you bought it from. Is that correct?

[@HermitDaVlog]

Yes. That's correct. He owned the bike 10 years ago and was the last person to register it with the state.

[@ladyknieval]

Reminds me when I had to weigh in when I was in the Corps. Being big boned, and back then they based your weight on height, I was screwed as a short little shit. So I would eat pasta for energy, and exlax to get rid of excess, just to make my goal! :-)

[@HermitDaVlog]

Gotta do what you gotta do.

[@LeeBMusic]

I need to figure out where the roads like this are in Central Oregon.

[@adamgray4288]

You guys are so lucky to have such beautiful trails to ride. Here in the uk trails are few and far between.

[@lloydwellington5271]

Congrats on the diet, ya made it. Was really expecting to see the pizza parlour at the end though.

[@HermitDaVlog]

Now that's a great idea. Reshoot!

[@kingtroll5635]

I hope you got the spark plug wrench that comes with the 400.If you didn't your up a creek

[@HermitDaVlog]

I made my own tool and replaced the plug already, but I ordered a new OEM one too.

[@MrAddison79]

what an awesome trail!

[@markgunnison]

Congratulations on the weight loss. I have lost 10 lbs on the "no pizza for lunch every day" diet so far. I seem to have stalled out. Think I will move my scale to the south corner to my home. That or I need to up my exercising or add no ice cream after 9pm to my diet :-)

[@HermitDaVlog]

Man, you are too hard core for me.

[@ironorcaadv4876]

Congrats on reaching you goal. I hope high school wrestling teams don't get any ideas of donating blood before weigh in though.

[@HermitDaVlog]

I can't say I made a very good case for that technique.

[@lifewithlurch5489]

That looks like a fun trail

[@PistonSlap]

congrats man!

[@HermitDaVlog]

+Piston Slap Thanks!

[@kaotictouch345]

don't forget to take a nice Poop to lose those last few extras! Congrats on reaching you goal, by technicality.

[@HermitDaVlog]

You had to GO there.

[@shifthappens8475]

Call the bike the next door 400 since my caption seems to think that is what it's called lmao

[@TheFLBClub]

2 pounds? That's just a good poop. The last time I woke up to the sound of machine gun fire I was in Kabul! You need to eat more pie.

[@HermitDaVlog]

I agree. I need to eat more pie.

[@wesbuhr548]

why didn't you just set the scale 3 lbs lighter?

[@HermitDaVlog]

Crap. Where were you a week ago?

[@eveRideRAW]

Congrats! Now bring it to Utah!

[@HermitDaVlog]

How about we wait until it and your butt are in a little better condition.

[@santukarmakar6726]

Nice. What is the next aim?

[@HermitDaVlog]

Phase two. Make it the bike look cooler and get under my target weight for a whole week.

[@Keeg02.]

Nice man

[@HermitDaVlog]

Thanks!

[@HobbzGarage]

So how do you like the xr400?

[@HermitDaVlog]

Still getting to know it, but there will be lots of videos on it this Summer so we'll all know soon enough.

[@beardedrancher]

How would you compare this bike to the drz400?

[@HermitDaVlog]

Still too soon to tell, but we'll be talking about that a lot in upcoming videos.

[@beardedrancher]

Fair enough. I figured that would be the case. Congrats on the weight loss. Keep it up!

[@lifewithlurch5489]

.2 ounces? Your scale is pretty accurate.

[@HermitDaVlog]

Yeah, actually it's .2 lbs

[@lifewithlurch5489]

Oh good I thought you were using a really big kitchen scale.

[@JDOG1337]

What front fender is that on the XR400?

[@HermitDaVlog]

It's an 06 CRF450. I did the same set up on my XR250 and went into the details in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6rhKOhncqaiLc

[@JDOG1337]

Thanks!

[@jfinch84]

Another life hack to go along with your weight loss hack... You probably already have this figured out but turning your watch forward 15 min will help keep you from being late to stuff.

[@HermitDaVlog]

I need a clock that is randomly off +/- 15 minutes so I never really know.

[@longrider9551]

you lost so much weight we can barely see you now!!!!

[@HermitDaVlog]

HA!

[@pressomotom8391]

Your xr sounds underpowered

[@HermitDaVlog]

Yeah? Huh. I wonder what that could be. It pulls better than any of my other bikes, and the new carb seems more powerful than the stock, but it doesn't sound as cool as my XR250 either. Maybe I need to poke more holes in the exhaust.

[@pressomotom8391]

have you checked the top of your air box the hole from stock was too small and the bikes couldn't breathe very well if you make the hole wider the bike should go alot better

[@lifewithlurch5489]

Hahaha CDS

[@HermitDaVlog]

That guy

[@pierremorel1580]

Try standing up on your pegs while riding, your bobbing up and down like a fool, learn how to ride...

[@dnsHate]

To long to much talk

[@OnceUponASundayxxx]

You're definately an underrated vlogger... hope to see you back soon

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

I heard a woodpecker on Friday in the woods and my initial thought was, "oh shit full auto dumping," then I came to my senses and realized it was just a woodpecker.

[@HermitDaVlog]

See. It aint just me.
