Transalp attempting hill climb

TRANSALP attempting the hill climb! Awesome tries...of course I missed the one where he actually made it!

[@arizonaadventureriders9384]

Awesome display of skill not scratching the old girl, got to love the old guys on vintage bikes setting the bar

[@rossbrumby1957]

What vintage bikes? For vintage bikes you need twin shock rears, bare minimum. Even that's not vintage, just classic. Shame on him not having knobbys fitted for such a ride through the trails- my XL500s would put that bike to shame there!

@@rossbrumby1957 No one cares, loser

[@arizonaadventureriders9384]

@@rossbrumby1957 vintage (classic) is 25 years according to motor vehicle in my state, not talking vintage race class here. Can’t disagree an xl is probly better on dirt then a trans alp But the difference is nobody wants an XL 500 because they suck! Especially the twin carbs. People will stand in line for a clean trans alp

[@UTPP]

Man this dude knows how to handle a big bike! Good job!

[@srhintz]

That takes a special kind of person. Way to stay upright!

[@jmc6659]

Lacks traction but man that old girls got some power Honda 💪

[@pjm204]

It's funny this video came up in my suggested videos. That was a great day, I'm somewhere in that collection of questionable people.

[@motojoe6129]

I was shocked to see it has over 200K views! And I'm not the one riding, just filming...lol.

[@davidmallia628]

Great skill and determination. He just needed the right bike, and tires.

[@rossbrumby1957]

Or a bitumen hill.

[@SledTillDead]

The bike was right. The tyres weren't

[@jstraub78]

He made it then, I just missed recording it.

[@tolga1cool]

Mostly tires I'd say

[@ashlogan2049]

Just needs good tyres

[@amateurphotography3139]

I am buying one in a few days, 2001, 650cc, cant wait to ride it :)

[@goldensheep4417]

10 out of 10 for effort

[@thierrybriand2413]

Excellent skills !

[@elonmust7470]

Why the hell isn't any one else trying. There's enough people there.

[@naushad911]

Cool! Great control

[@djj6452]

Great effort

[@Lewiseyers]

Top man...when every one else is chicken

[@richardmiller9698]

He wasn't the only one the went up.

[@rossbrumby1957]

Highway dwellers with tyres that suit 75% bitumen.

[@kiwipirate60]

I'm amazed how many people are just sitting there watching and not having a crack

[@jstraub78]

Others did too, just not at the same time.

[@shadowdust72whisper49]

It looks so easy from my bed holding my iPhone in hand :-)

[@ricardomeira5561]

Amazing skills and balance

[@Brgnalf81]

Check out Grand Enduro Slovenia guys. One of them has a modified Transalp and he makes miracles with it.

[@lupolinda]

Transalp Rules... Forever!

[@johndawd4616]

Great rider 👍👍👍now he can travel with comfort and not having to change the oil every 6 hours!!!!.

[@Adam666...]

I love it, way to go man

[@peerrrrrrrr]

You guys have the Transalp in the US? I'm a bit confused, I thought the TA never made it to America!

[@richardmiller9698]

It did a few years.

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

I never seen one before. Had in Argentina when I was living there. Another bike i haven't seen in the US is the Super Tenere Yamaha.

[@stevenspx6226]

Awesome 😎

[@nicoa4955]

Comment ne pas savoir utiliser le gaz

[@dotco5210]

You’re gonna have to put some tires in that thing LOL.

[@kwak1k]

If you enjoy this vid can I recommend a channel. 4- 700 melnikov, the guys a nutter. You should see him ride a bandit 1200 off road 😂

[@nonokastle8699]

I confirm he's crazy.

The transalp is simply to heavy

[@olegyd]

Nice skill, is, very slippery there…

[@gajiraanorimaki]

sometime i saw some (intelligent) guys with a very simple modded Honda Dominator : only lightened and an high fender (and very chip bike today) thats ALL you really need, mass of stupids (with frigid wifes..) ha ha ha !!!

[@Ticholasnesla]

He is doing it on purpose you say🤣

[@pinslayer4579]

Stands up stiff legged till he scares himself them sits down....Bend your knees transfer weight to front or rear of machine as needed easy on the throttle give the tire a little time to work. Nope I'm sure no expert but I watched Malcolm Smith do it and he is.

[@johnmcdyer7297]

A 250 Suzuki would mangle that

[@Jeff-sc1df]

Let some air out of the rear tire.......

[@LkOutMtnMan]

Not enough torque and wrong tires. lol My old Desmo Duc 350 could eat that hill up like it wasn't there!

[@krzysztofdziekiewicz4006]

The bike is just too heavy !

[@fonziebulldog5786]

@@Checkpat Many years ago i went a little nuts and drove through a large forrest with a Blackbird. While resting in the evening a hiker showed up and wondered where the road was regarding my bike and i said ... There aint no road ... and then we laughed for a while. You live for those moments. There was a guy who once drove straight through a dessert on a Yamaha R1 and made a movie about it, cant remember his name. Take care and have a nice life. 😊👍

[@Checkpat]
