This Was Way Harder Than I Thought - Exploring Backroads episode 1

I'm starting a series of videos where I explore backroads and desert roads on my Kawasaki KLX 300. In episode #1 i'm checking out an unnamed road that's only about 4 miles from my house. It's listed as a 4x4 trail and turns out to not be very easy on 2 wheels. I had fun aways and got some great practice riding in sand and rocks. I hope you enjoy...

Nice! Keep it up!

[@milestogomoto]

Thanks. Have a new episode coming soon. I got a little worried. Haha.

I got a klx230 s and I’ll be taking motorcycle riding courses on Saturday and Sunday and I’m super excited also nervous as the same time this is my first ever dirt bike/enduro

[@milestogomoto]

Congratulations!! I bet you’ll have a great time at the classes. I want to do some ADV class days with my bigger bike. Have fun and thank you !!!

I rode in pretty much the same terrain last weekend on my KLX300 outside Phoenix in Tonto National Forest. I think the sand might have been even deeper in places! I was in 1st the whole way and just tractored along mostly under 10mph, lol. After about 2 miles it was all solid packed dirt for the other 5 miles and I didn't have to back track through the sand, thankfully! I have Kenda Tackmaster tires which are definitely better than stock for this. Have you watched any videos on off-road lessons? I watched the video series from Chris Birch and it's helped immensely. Sand is still really tricky!

[@milestogomoto]

Thanks for the comment and watching. I’ve watched quite a bit about sand but there’s no substitute for getting out there and applying the skills. Fun stuff. I’m looking at the Shinko cheater

[@inrptn]

@@milestogomoto Those Shinkos look like serious off-road tires. That will totally change the feel off-road. I think my next set will be Motoz Rallz. Heard they are super tough, can last over 5k miles doing both highway and off-road. The Kenda's are wearing down pretty fast.

Another good one Danny. How were the new gloves in the rough terrain?

[@milestogomoto]

Thanks man !! Loved the gloves. Little lighter weight and easier to move around in. Thanks for the support
