Ride to peak of Mt Patterson, Northern California BDR with failed water crossing

Thanks for the great video and at 60fps! I appreciate seeing what the road/trail is really like to gauge how "expert" of a route really is.

Great job, man. Thanks for posting.

Rode to the top and over the other side that day. Must have been ahead of you to beat the heat.

Really cool to watch your video. A friend and I did that ride a couple of weeks ago. It was neat that you recorded virtually the whole ride. Enjoyed feeling like a passenger and being able to see all of the beautiful terrain, without bouncing off of a rock. 😂 Well done by you. Too bad about your motor ingesting that water. I’m sure you’ll get filter/airbox sorted out. I hit that water crossing pretty hard, but no problems. Felt good on a hot day. Take care.

@@aussiedorsmith9293 yesterday I spent the afternoon with some elderly family members that would not be safe to take on the ride (even in a SxS) watching on the big tv. They had the same comment, it felt like they were in the ride. I hit the water crossing on the way up (camera wasn’t on to capture) without issue. I guess I got unlucky on the way back.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Now amply clear to me that I cannot do this alt section on my T7, I need a small 250.

[@noahstirling3177]

Shit it wasn't amply clear to me that I cant do it on my klr650. Now I'm worried XD

You need two-wheel drive 😊

[@austinRCsailing]

@@teccec luckily, one-wheel drive got me through…

[@eriknash8783]

Why on earth would you not be running a proper foam oiled air filter when offroad?

[@austinRCsailing]

@@eriknash8783 the K&N oiled filter seems like a good option? That was what was on the bike when I got it and seems to work ok…

[@blastradiu5]

How deep was the water that clogged your bike?

[@austinRCsailing]

@@blastradiu5 enough that I drained water out of my boot. Probably like 1.5’-2’

[@SteveOMotos]

OMG BRO PLEASE DITCH THAT FILTER! Get a real offroad filter. Holy cow!

[@raleigh5here182]

?? such as?

[@SteveOMotos]

@@raleigh5here182 Rally raid intake with a traditianal foam filter or ktm powersports pre filter.

[@SteveOMotos]

@@raleigh5here182 how much dirt was in your intake after this ride?

[@austinRCsailing]

@@SteveOMotos the dirty side of the air box was normal light amount of dust. The clean side was totally completely clean, as usual.
