Riding the DR350 into a Blizzard || PNW Dual Sport

MTN MOTO ARCHIVES: Originally filmed towards the end of February of 2022 (yes it took me 2 months to finally get around to editing and publishing this video). While running errands around town I had noticed some frosty tips on some of the distant mountain tops, so I decided to hop on the Suzuki DR350 SE and investigate. What I later came to find were blizzard-like conditions thousands of feet up in elevation.. little did I know I'd be running into some bike issues along the way. Did I make it out alive? Tune in to find out.

Thanks for sharing another adventure! Always enjoy your videos, reminds me of watching the big name moto vloggers back in the day. Hope you're doing well and stay safe.

Thanks I appreciate it!

I went up in the snow last week after the storm. Loads of fun in the powder! Good thing you have that kick start option. 😁 Braappp

[@mtnmotoadv]

The kickstart has saved my butt multiple times at this point, wouldn't ride solo without it!

[@Pmz604]

Nice..it's good to have both Electric and kick start

[@mtnmotoadv]

That kickstart has saved my butt more than once. Wouldn't ride without one

Cool videos , have you ever tried a pinlock visor? It really works well. Also, is the dr 350 a good first offroad bike for a rider who's been riding on the streets for 7 years?

[@mtnmotoadv]

Haven't tried a pinlock yet but been dying to try one, just need to fork out the cash for one. And yes I think the DR350 is a great beginner bike. It's not so crazy fast you'll fly off of it but it's also got more than enough power to be fun for years. I started off on a 200cc and outgrew it pretty quick. I've had the DR350 for 3 years now and still not tired of it

Put a ceramic coat on your lens, so you can avoid snow flakes and rain drops on your lens next time. Great video, cheers!

[@mtnmotoadv]

That's a good idea, I'm going to have to try that out. Thanks!

Cold weather glitches.

[@mtnmotoadv]

Camera batteries were only lasting half as long as usual too. With windchill temps were as low as 10F at times, my equipment must not like the cold

[@kingkelly44]

Is that a homemade thing holding together the speedo and all your gauges?

[@mtnmotoadv]

Yep, bike has a triple clamps & fork swap so stock gauges didn't fit. The dash in this video is my old design though, I remade the dash recently that I'll be posting a vid on soon

[@kingkelly44]

@@mtnmotoadv Nice, lookin forward to that, id like to figure out how to make something to hold a few different gauges on my bike
