Trans America Trail, Day 14, New Mexico trail, steep and rocky!

[@RandDCustoms2]

Best Video yet! Keep it up guys you are cranking!

[@BillyTyo]

Working on day 16 now, I think it will be a good one

[@patrickmcshea5168]

Make sure your spark arrestors are in coming west fire danger is extreme. Just did a backcountry camp and ride they had fire trucks stationed way out just incase. Be smart and good luck dudes!. Offer still stands if yall need help or a shower in utah.

[@BillyTyo]

Got em in

[@inea815]

Me and my partnee have crf250l, binge watching! We are planning on doing the TAT next year. We would probably stay at hotels too. Not a fan of camping. Love that you are showing this side too! Enjoyed it a lot!! will keep watching all vids! 🙋🏾‍♀️💪🏽

[@BillyTyo]

Glad you are enjoying the videos, the TAT will be fun on the 250L

[@jacobtyo7805]

Hotels >>>>> camping 😂 I’m burnt out on camping and always voting for the hotel option, and yeah good bike for the tat

[@tangoreal9098]

KOA is a good option Love Shack often cheaper than a hotel.

[@Brian.A.Simmons]

Impressive riding skills gentlemen! I don't do very good with loose rocks. You are in my home state :-)

[@BillyTyo]

New Mexico was so much fun!! Very challenging.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Absolutely the ideal bike for long distance off-road touring (weight, reliability, power). Brilliant camera work (minimal wide angle settings - other car/bike channels should take note). The way you angle the camera and balance the sound gives a real sense of the relentless physical effort required to ride those trails. Why's that back light flashing?

[@BillyTyo]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. That light is an LED and is actually solid but it looks like it is blinking on video.

[@drmayerr]

...so what you’re saying is just skip to NM & do a half TAT? 😉 Looks like loads of fun! My son & I are planning to follow in your tire tracks next year, plus I just got a 2019 CRF450L! Is there a reason why you guys are hoteling it up instead of camping? Maybe if you’re out & about next year the 4 of us can meet up & share some trails. Keep the great vids coming! Drew

[@BillyTyo]

The eastern part was actually pretty fun, so I’d do it all. It’s been so hot at night that it’s hard to camp, also, a shower and bed feel pretty good after 8-10 hours of riding

[@jacobtyo7805]

Plus I am sick of camping and always voting for a hotel 🤣. Have fun and hope your L treats you as good as mine has treated me!

[@drmayerr]

@@jacobtyo7805 I agree on the heat! We’re going to wind up being a nocturnal species if this keeps up! Yeah, I’m eager to get it on the trail!

[@mrjawmaster5854]

Have you had to use the spare gas you are hauling with you? Looks like a good place to get lost. Good thing you had a GPS to follow.

[@BillyTyo]

We used it yesterday but wouldn’t have needed it, the route between Boise City OK and Trinidad CO was 150 miles and we weren’t sure if we could make it or not, so we put 1.5 gallons in the can just in case

[@mrjawmaster5854]

@@BillyTyo do you have the stock tanks on them?

[@BillyTyo]

@@mrjawmaster5854 no, we upgraded to IMS 3.1 gallon tanks

You skipped the Great Plains Bunkhouse? That’s the best check-in on the Tat

[@BillyTyo]

Dang, I didn’t realize we missed it, where is it?

[@OneManTrail]

[@zipsfranquemont7104]

Great video! Did you post gps tracks of your trip anywhere? If not would you, please?

[@BillyTyo]

Thanks! We didn’t post the gps tracks, but you can get them online from Sam’s or Kevin’s web sites.

[@jamesoliver565]

I will be doing it on a crf300l starting in Oklahoma

[@BillyTyo]

When you planning on taking off? The 300L should be a good bike for it.

[@patmaly8731]

Good Moring. Did you guys race motorcycles (motocross). Based upon your videos I would say yes..... Are you following GPSKevin's maps or Sam's or both? Thanks, Patrick

[@BillyTyo]

We both did some motocross years ago, but more recently we have been doing GNCC which is an enduro series that runs on the east coast. We are doing a combination of Sam’s and Kevin’s, we just take the route that looks the most interesting

[@patmaly8731]

@@BillyTyo Very cool as to the GNCC. I raced motorcross for about 20 years racing throughout the U.S. Request. Who can do the longest wheelie. Video the result. LOL

[@BillyTyo]

@@patmaly8731 lol, Jake can probably pull a longer wheelie than me

[@brianlarsen9216]

Wondering if that rear is your first D606 and that's the wear from NC to CO? Cheers

[@BillyTyo]

Wore the first D606 out before we hit Colorado. We stopped at Topar Racing in Trinidad to get new tires. We had ordered new D606's but they didn't show up on time, so had to go with what Topar had in stock, Metzler 6 Days

[@cyclopathic998]

Looks like an awesome day. Do you guys have the latest Sam's route or older one?

[@BillyTyo]

We bought them late last year

[@cyclopathic998]

@@BillyTyo so did you guys were following Kevin's or Sam's tracks? Latest Sam's starts in WV and Hatteras is Kevin's exclusive. We're starting in a week trying to decide which one to follow. I have ones from a few years back, trying to decide if updates worth paying for

[@BillyTyo]

@@cyclopathic998 we did a mix of Sam’s and Kevin’s

[@motopacking]

This is one of those "no harm, no foul" situations. Often times it's hard to tell where BLM roads end and private land begins. Even worse is that some of the gates and fences have been erected across public lands so everything gets a bit convoluted. Best you can do is be respectful if stopped. Regardless, that section looked awesome!

[@BillyTyo]

That section was so much fun!

How far are gas stops in western OKLAHOMA?

[@BillyTyo]

They weren’t too bad, about every 50 or 100 miles

[@richarddevaottien7724]

Here in New Zeakand, we get more beautiful scenery in 2 miles than Americans get in 300 miles of travel. A somewhat boring landscape on your trip to my mind

[@OneManTrail]

Yeah but this route is 6,000 miles. 300 miles is almost the length of your whole country 😂
