In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.c...
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

Ophir pass is no joke Kinga. This area of Colorado is some of the most beautiful and dangerous that the US has to offer. People get injured on these passes every summer. And the altitude at 10,000-13,000ft. is no joke especially with a heavily loaded bike. So glad you ladies turned around. Ouray, Silverton, and Durango are some of my favorites in all of Colorado. ❤ the video!!

[@onherbike]

At this stage I have no energy for technical tracks on overloaded bike. I'm glad we've turned, the road was just getting worse.

[@ROTV-DanLockhart]

That could have ended so badly. Glad to see you're ok. Very nice of that guy to bring your bags down for you. The Million Dollar Highway is one of my favorite rides and you really do have to focus. It would be bad to go off there. Thanks to Tim and Natalia too! I appreciate this video, thanks Kinga!

[@MotoExplorerChronicles-tg3zm]

nice video, I will propose something like this on my channel too

[@jacobclarke9019]

MY HOME! ❤ it’s cool watching you ride all over the globe but this Colorado episode seriously puts a smile on my face!

[@olddirtbiker5088]

You made an excellent choice by turning around on Ophir Pass. I did the ride from the other direction on my BMW F650GS (800 ccs). with my buddy on his 1200 BMW. We were not heavily loaded like you. The problem for us was when we started the downhill, you have to ride on cobble size rocks and only have the brakes to slow and control. I fell 2 or 3 times and was completely exhausted like I have never been. The high altitude and no breakfast drained me, and I live close to there at 7000 feet. I tried walking the bike down but even that was too much. By this time I had a giant hematoma on my inner thigh from my last fall. Luckily a couple of young dudes rode and walked our bikes down to where it was a bit flatter. Where you fell is a one way section cross a steep scree slope. If you looked down the slope you would have seen vehicles that went over the edge years ago. Ophir is one of the easier passes in Colorado, no problem if you have 4 wheels. A much lighter enduro bike is better suited to ride it, or a very skilled rider. But the Million Dollar highway is fantastic. So, Kinga, you cheated death again!

[@TheDavidGoldmanphoto]

After that million-dollar highway, I got to Durango and that is where Tim Burke came up to me and introduced himself. I'd been trying to meet up with him for a few months and the guy just popped out of nowhere and it's when I first met Nat as well. Then we rode for a few weeks together. Great time!

[@bobdrifter2402]

Holy Cow! Getting Chillie back on her wheels at over 3,000 meters, with a soon to be "Broken" heart, even with all the help, is just plain SCARRY? You and Natalie make a fun team!

[@suek.1507]

Another awesome video. I'm glad neither you nor Chillie were hurt. Safe travels and see you in the next one. ❤

[@onherbike]

Thank you ☺️

[@X-OutLander-GT]

Camera Quality Update May Be !

[@shirleyboy8859]

It was Very Lucky that you fell to the Left.... That looked like a Big Drop on the Right...... Great video Kinga...... Natalia looks Very Cute, and She sure knows how to Ride...... :-)) xxxxx

[@enduromotorradtouren]

That's something the manufacturers could add as an expensive extra: the self-lifting of adventure bikes. Then they could go on building a 250 hp adv bike with 350 kg. A CyberGS. Happy travels, Günter/Nürnberg

[@albertsammut433]

An 800GS Fully loaded gets a bit unstable and a handful going slow on the rocks..BUT..you did well Kinga not to damage Chilli at all..a few more scratches are nothing to worry about👌👍

[@onherbike]

Chillie is tough as nails 💪 I'm glad she was ok.

[@MeerkatADV]

The alpine loop doesn't play :D

[@elvigilanteviajero]

Inga, you are happy, you are faithful to the F 800 GS, as I call mine Vigi.

[@Boris_779]

Привет Кинга,часто тебя вспоминаю,как свою подругу!)).Рад,что у тебя всё хорошо!Удачи!

[@antepavlovic600]

I've been following you for a while and your videos are great. I've been riding a motorcycle for a long time, but I'm not a world traveler...through your travels I live my dreams...this is from google translator, so if something is wrong...artificial intelligence is to blame 🤣 Many greetings from Croatia and good luck on your travels 💪💪

[@onherbike]

Thank you 🙌

[@rosslangerak8361]

Ophir Pass is generally done east to west by motorcycle. First because of that section of loose rock. Second because of the view from the pass. Black Bear Pass is only done east to west, though I have seen some ride up to the pass and down again on the west side. This video is from the switchbacks on the west side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ2nlmufg9yqrtU

[@mjordan812]

I spent a night in the absolutely worst motel I have ever been in in Durango in 2010.

[@domlang4070]

fortunately chillie lay down on the left side. Have a good trip Kinga, be careful ✌✌

[@Don-ev5ov]

I grew up in Durango. When I was five, I would run down to the river to watch the train come in.

[@user-dg7sy8cz3b]

Ophir is in pretty good shape compared to the other passes that have been damaged by all the side by side razors. You could have made it with different tires. Next time go the opposite direction, it’s easier that way with the tires you had on.

[@dalewyatt1321]

I believe I heard a breathy FFS under that helmet. Very mild reaction after what happened.

[@wimwittouck8535]

Kochana Kinga Sliczne paznocki z Natalia tez jest polka jest widoczne 2 Sliczne polki na wielki Maszyny 😅

[@machinori]

Your cameras have a lot of mileage too, maybe time for an upgrade (to 4K)? ;)

[@tappvlogs]

super zajawka! Kiedys jezdzilem na crossie do puki go nie zatarlem ii sie hobby skonczylo :D Teraz dzieci dorastaja to sie zastanawiam czy do tego nie wrocic :) Pozdro od kolegi youtuberka z Chicago :)

[@qzorn4440]

The gals have everything but the kitchen sink on their bikes. 💥💥 Do you ever have to turn around and go back?

[@billcotton1551]

I've seen videos of that pass before. I was concerned when you headed up there on those big bikes.

[@chema1546]

Ok ☕🌹 kinga

[@noelbowerman1562]

I'm glad Chillie opted for up hill ,instead of down hill

[@LetsrideJ]

ophir can get hectic higher up the other side is pretty easy tho and alot less rocks

[@fatihdoganduman5243]

Stabilize yolda çok hızlı iniyorsun senin tecrübende birisi için hata dua et de dereye doğru gitmedin geçmiş olsun

[@Two_Wheels_Only_ADV]

Looks like Fun 🤘🏼

[@niestrategicznydt7601]

Odważne babeczki😊😊😊

[@fireman12464]

Luckily there wasn’t damaged at all to Chillie. Great video Kinga 👌🏼👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼🤩

[@piusbayo7278]

Luckily it was not down the steep slopes . Good you have friends nearly everywhere you go .

[@ganeshartgallery7315]
