Was nice to meet you and talk bikes at this event. Keep up the great work!

Reveille Peak is a mountain bike ranch primarily. Glad to see you on Texas soil!

Just wanted to add that I wish that all the brands of rider gear jacket and pants were made in TALL sizes! There’s nothing worse than when you raise your arm and your cuff goes to your elbow!😂 I’ve yet to find one that fits me at 6’2 with broad shoulders. Most of them online don’t even offer tall. Thanks for the content Ben. I’ve been enjoying you’re content lately keep it up 👍🏻

I'm 6'2" and I have a revit jacket in XL, fits better than anything else I've owned.

@GraySpoonJeeper Ай бұрын

Same with short!

@RendezvousTribe Ай бұрын

You can get a tall size jacket from cyclegear brands. They are the only places I’ve ever seen them. (Bilt has a mesh/vented, and I’m told but never physically seen J&P Cycles jackets)

Thank you for coming to Texas. Glad I was able to meet you. You have been a big inspiration to me to get back into motorcycles and camping. Thank You agan.

Compared to what you've done in Oregon, Washington, California, and Utah, that must have been extremely underwhelming. And I say that as a local from right down the road, closer to San Antonio. There used to be a lot of nice country dirt roads to have a bit of an adventure in the Texas hill country, but the march of progress has seen most of them get paved. The majority of good dirt riding is on private property and that usually means single track for dirt bikes, not ADV bikes. That being said, I am hoping to do that Big Bend BDR-X soon.

Reveille Peak Ranch has some great mountain biking as well.

@ChopperChad Ай бұрын

They do a few special events through the year but it's an MTB park first.

That must be north Texas with that Oklahoma red dirt.

Well ok, never mind, I looked it up, only about an hour and a half from my house.

All land in Texas is either government or privately owned. Definitely cuts down the number of places to do off highway riding.

I’m from Texas, and that’s a good representation of life here. I will try to plan a trip to Big Bend, maybe my fam will drive a truck loaded with water so I don’t get dehydrated.

@TimEnnis7 Ай бұрын

The main reason there such little off-road land for such a large state is that most of the land in Texas is actually private land. It was part of the agreement when Texas became a state. This is why there is only 2 national parks in the state.

I live in Texas and couldn’t go this year but I will be there next year. Great video as always Ben.

Looks like you got to ride the perfect bike for that event/terrain!

Seems to me a Harley could have done that route.

TBH, I didn't enjoy anything about Texas other than seeing it my rearview mirror.

@michaelsaenz5719 Ай бұрын

The vast majority of land in Texas is private. Public accessible easements get paved or improved with well maintained gravel because Texas has a lot of money (ie, taxes from oil and gas drilling).

Thats healthy . I will check out flying eyes 'didn't know they did prescriptions .""RIDE ON""

Private Ranch. No thanks. Support public lands, don’t support billionaires.

@DorkintheRoad Ай бұрын

No such thing as public lands in Texas I'm afraid

@the_tridoc Ай бұрын

I know the owner and he is not a billionaire but supports mtb, trail running and ocr events.

I will have to say the fun factor of watching your video's has gone way up since you first started and I'm not really counting but that's two KTM motorcycles now that you haven't thoroughly trashed talked. Keep it up and they may lend you one for a 6 month review.

@Desert2snowoffwego Ай бұрын

WAIT--WAIT--Did I hear you praise and speak admiringly while riding a 690 ktm?? I remember a "Dork in the Road" not that long ago who was more than underwhelmed while riding one, and spoke slightly disparagingly towards the subject bike! Did someone have an epiphany? I sure love mine!

@veiledallegory Ай бұрын

I can’t wait until all the idiots start showing up at Big Bend so that the people who make the BDR Routes can make money!

You know what you get when you go to the Flying Eyes booth??? Ripped off! Their stuff is ridiculously overpriced. Paying $200 for $30 glasses makes no sense!
