Motorcycle Camping - Gunnison Black Canyon National Forest & the Colorado Dragon (S2 E11)

[@les5386]

This is why they call it America the beautiful. I live 50 miles from Buffalo, NY and I've ridden my Harley to California and back. I got a true appreciation for just how beautiful America is from sea to shining sea. Nice footage guys.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Cheers to that!!

[@mrwhite2628]

One of my favorite places in the world to ride.

[@avadeal345]

Camped at the national park there one night heard a bump under the camper .As I eased out and looked under the camper was staring a mountain lion in the face we both went our separate ways instantly. What a beautiful place. Thanks for the memories

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Oh wow!

[@ROT2024]

I think what impresses me the most is the time you spend on gravel and dirt. My wife and I take the back roads and run gravel a lot but nobody will ride with us as they turn around as soon as they see anything other tan tar. You guy have it right, get out there and see what everyone else is missing. Plus you guys are very skilled.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks we love the off the path places.

[@bradmuhr5521]

Glad u guys went to the south side of The Black Canyon of The Gunnison National Park. That is is better side with the views and paved roads. The land that the East Portal Rd is on was sold to the federal government by my wife’s family to build the Crystal Point Dam. And their ranch bordered much of the park on the south side. Very beautiful area. Thanks for going there.

You guys are awesome! Hello from Florida. I discovered your channel 3 days ago and can't stop watching.

[@barbarajohnson297]

I wish I had started following your page months ago. I would have strongly encouraged you to ride up to the highest point of Estes Park and and watch the sunrise over the mountains. It was the highlight of a trip we made to Colorado three years ago. I look forward to hosting you again should you make the trip across the Midwest in the future. We need to plan ahead so Tom and I can show you more of the local attractions and make sure Bob is at the fort to give you a personal guided tour. Ride safe!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks so much for your hospitality Barb. We will meet again and we’ll make sure we have more time for sure.

[@michaelcox8604]

Right around minute 19 I became impressed with your riding skills when Rich mentions a warning about the gravel but more importantly nonchalantly raises the potential for a speeding car from around the blind curve. That’s thinking ahead. Not just seeing, but seeing the potential. Stay safe, and thanks for sharing your travels.

[@just_another_Joe]

Just stumbled across your channel. Love it! You’re doing it right! I live in Colorado and have been to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison about a half-dozen times in the last 20+ years, but I’ve never been to the North Rim and have never been down shoreside to the Gunnison River. Thanks for that! My wife and I will be taking another ride down there real soon.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Joe. Glad you enjoyed. Looking across from the other side was a treat.

[@dennism665]

Good job guys. Glad you found and used the Portal Tunnel road, but you didn’t show the hairiest parts...as in the blind corner with the convex mirror to see around the bend. That part of Colorado is great riding. If you are still in the area, be sure to ride the Colo Natl Monument, outside Fruita, just west of Grand Junction. A short ride but I think it is majestically beautiful. You are making me long to return for another ride out there. Florida is sooo flat.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I thought I did get that part of the road. It was pretty steep to say the least.

[@stevebumstead9840]

I really admire both of you. I've been riding over 50 years and was afraid to get too heavy a motorcyle. You're wife rides that big ol' BMW so I ran out and bought a BMW R1200RT and just love it. Thanks for the inspiration! PS, also love the music.

[@senditadv007]

Hey guys, your road bikes will be fine on gravel/dirt roads, don't be too concerned about going off-road to turn around, unless it is wet of course! Practice some friction zone u-turns and become proficient at those, you will need less room to turn around than those walking u-turns. Do some u-turn practicing on the hard top them get onto the dirt and practice. You should still be able to use the friction zone to u-turn with that trailer, the motorcycle clutch is designed for friction zone use (or riding the clutch), dont forget to use the rear brake when in the friction zone. The Scenic Motorcycle Navigation app is good for navigating, it has an offline option for when you are out of reception for GPS, you can load your route from various other apps like google maps and run it through the app. Chicken strips are safety strips. ;-)

Great videos, music and editing. The quick cuts really keep the viewers interest. As for me, I’ve done enough tent camping when my kids were little and found it to be great fun for them but too much work for my wife and I. I love watching but wouldn’t want to do it myself.

God bless you guys for riding on dirt/gravel roads. We always steer away from them. I noticed you wear leathers. Ever tried First Gear Heated Gear. After a couple of years on the road and putting rain gear over heavy leathers, we switched. Light weight and toasty warm.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks for the tip, Bill. Looking for something to replace the leathers.

[@halestorm5248]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife First Gear stuff are liners that go under your coat, pants and shoes. Pretty light weight. They all plug together and use a wireless on/off switch and heat control. A simple accessory plug (like for trickle charger) gives it power. I have gloves as well but don’t need them due to heated grips. Although, you still have to unplug the top from the bottoms to pull your pants down!

[@egalitarianvegan8806]

My wife, and I found the same problem last year In Colorado, and Utah. Every place in the National Parks we wanted to stay were full, except for Natural Bridges. We got the last open campsite. Weather was really iffy during our trip, so making reservations didn't really work for us. We ended up staying in private campgrounds, and RV. parks that had tent camping. Cost us more, but they did have nicer facilities. Laundry rooms, showers, very clean restrooms. They were also quieter. I have always been a little fearful of boondocking. Think we will have to get over that. I also fear getting our bike, and trailer stuck on some dirt road so we have pretty much stayed on paved roads. I know from years past that weekends were the worst. Often I would pull in on a Thursday, and stay thru to Sunday morning so that I would be assured a place to stay. A few times I could not find a place to stay, and ended up riding hours longer into the night before finding a spot. Other times we gave up, and had to stay in a motel. Motorcycle Traveling is fun, but it is not with out its' challenges at times. Guess that is all part of the adventure. Look forward to seeing your next video.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks

[@egalitarianvegan8806]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife Sorry that I did not offer any real help. One positive note. I have found that traveling in the fall, winter and early spring are a lot less crowded. Less traffic.

[@hungwasson1399]

Boondocking is great, if you don't mind primative camping where you dig your own latrine, have to pack in your own water, and pack all of your trash out. You can ride any bike off-pavement - but you have to keep your body over the bike instead of leaning in. The bike still needs to roll into the turns, but you have to shift your body weight to keep your mass centered above the contact patch of the tires. Needless to say, this is far easier to do on an adventure bike or a dual-sport bike. But I've encountered guys who could out ride me on fire roads when they're on a Hayabusa. It's about learning the skills. The gravel roads I've seen you ride on are similar to what you'd find in state or national forests and BLM land, so I don't think you'd have any problem with it, really.

I also recommend freecampsites.net A most valuable resource for finding free, and affordable campgrounds. Most reviewers mention the road conditions. Also, look into the small town fairgrounds. Many have RV/Camping spots with electric/water and restrooms. Our favorite campgrounds on our last trip were Upper Teton View (free) Shoup Bridge Campground, ID ($5) Banbury Hot Springs, ID ($10) The camp host at Shoup is a bike rider and has two Goldwings.

So what kind of bike to bike communications do you use? My wife and I bought some gear that, despite the reviews, were useless much above 50mph. We reverted back to hand signals during our 4500 mile trip out to the Four Corners and back. Next question is, finances. Do you guys have a large bank account or substantial investments? Or are you surviving off of social security? How much do you spend each month while traveling by bike, living on the road, staying in campgrounds? Lastly, is this just a long vacation, after which you'll get a new home and new jobs? Or, is this now your permanent lifestyle? I'm envious btw.

[@bstapleton3248]

You guys are making me crazy. It’s called Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. They are also called Chicken STRIPS. There is lots of dispersed camping in CO. My advice is find a place on Friday night and stay through Sunday morning. Covid might be making it worse, but weekends in August are going to be tough. You might try heading north central Colorado as that is less popular (not really for any reason it’s great up there) or out to the Eastern Plains (Comanche National Grasslands and Bents Fort) thats where I head when the mountains are full.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

We been traveling on Sundays and Wednesday’s. This summer it’s hard to locate spots.

[@bstapleton3248]

It’s like that every August. There are first come first served sports which you can usually get but you gotta get there early. Don’t be afraid to disperse camp. Might also try up in the Frying Pan by Basalt. Hip Camp seems a decent alternative though. Everything will probably open up after Labor Day unless Covid shuts down the whole country. You can also disperse camp on BLM Bureau of Land Management land. In Wyoming, up in Medicine Bow National Forest just north of the Colorado Border you can disperse camp and almost nobody goes there. It is spectacular. Look on the road going north out of Walden.

But my goal is: As cheap and simple as possible. Solo on tour on two wheels. It starts with a scooter for $ 100 only. A trailer for $ 55, etc. With a tent, camping gear, etc.

Theres an APP called DYRT. It free and shows all the campgrounds in the area. Also look for BLM sites ( beureu of land management ) the sites are usually free but have no amenities.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes we found that app. Working with it now. Thanks.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

the bad thing about that north ridge is if you were to fall off the edge you have a lot of time to think how bad it will hurt when you stop.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

YES!! We saw from the south rim just how close we were to that edge. It’s not the fall that kills ya... it’s the sudden stop that does it. 🤣🤣
