The younger riders, and some older ones, make fun of how much armor I wear. But at 51 years old, I don't bounce or heal as quick. Armor with rib protection has already saved my bacon in a 35mph into the desert crash back in September. My Leatt 6.5 boots have been incredible and I can walk in them fine. They are heavy though. I went with the Alpinestars top armor with the rib protection and wear the Fox Elbow pads (don't fit muscular arms to well, but do great) and Leatt knee/shin guards. Judging by all of the gouges in the plastic, it's all doing it's job.

Armor is always annoying to wear until it saves your life or saves you from bad injuries and it makes it all worth it.

I grew up with a paraplegic father and learnt there’s always a way! I solo ride, that’s the adventure and nothings stopped me yet💪

[@precipiceofgrind]

There is most definitely always a way! Solo riding is awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@TheXTLife]

I always ride solo in Arizona desert,xt250. I got to up my game on a few things. Like you said, Self rescue. What a awesome video. Thank you.

[@precipiceofgrind]

You're welcome! Well, it's always evolving for me. Next time you're out in the bush stop and think about some scenarios that could occur and build from there. Stay safe amigo!

[@premix3663]

I would suggest carrying some light weight shoes to toss on incase the bike breaks, i had to hike miles in astar tech 10s eventually took them off and walked in socks before i got cell service

Like your videos I've had alot of dualsports 4 xt 250s 2 crf 250s 2 xl 250s lots of 2 stroke suzukis and several others the 2 650 l Hondas the best adventures I've had were 650 vstroms if you ever ride one you will probably buy it I owned over 200 motorcycles 4and 3wheelers utvs was single my first 40 years and had good jobs so when I wasn't working I was playing

[@bradbell4055]

2012 a woman hit me head on on my st 1300 47 broken bones was on the way to sell my bike and quit riding because of people driving and texting got hit 2 miles from home 4 months later bought a new fatboy lo and started riding again rode10 years and quit my won't take it anymore I'm 68 and ride bicycles now some of those cost more than the first new 6 or 8 dualsports I owned

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

nice setup.....protection for self is the key.

[@erichalitsky1285]

Great video ! Plan to do alot of solo riding on my CRF 300L in the spring and summer. ( I live in Michigan. )

[@barendfourie6687]

I bought my 1st dual sport last yr but have been plagued with job related injuries that keep me off the bike currently recovering from a crushed finger incident seems to me i bought the bike for nothing. Hopefully i would be able to enjoy the bike this summer. Thks for this video because im working on putting a solo bav together.

[@billymc2681]

I really enjoy your videos. About a year and ago, I bought a well-worn RE Himalayan. Been watching your channel ever since. Just one comment about your Rev It jacket. Not sure if a camo pattern is ideal especially on the highway. When I was in the military a lifetime ago, riding in BDUs (camo uniform)was highly discouraged. If you did ride in BDUs, a reflective type vest was required. Just my 2 cents.

[@precipiceofgrind]

Appreciate you watching! Visibility is certainly a good thing and I see your point!

[@wmbushUT]

Great Video. I also ride solo most the time and its good to get prospective what other people are doing.. I need a Garmin inReach..

[@precipiceofgrind]

Thank you, appreciate you watching! The Inreach is a little spendy up front and I pay a monthly service fee of $11. It's totally worth it if you need your bacon saved 100 miles deep in the bush.

[@ThePriceIsRising]

I live on the wrong side of the country(NC). We have very little options for riding off-road. There are owners of private land, that are off-road parks….but it gets expensive quick for a family. SUBBED

[@precipiceofgrind]

Well come on out here and do some riding if you get the chance! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!

[@scottwelder]

I may have missed it but what pants do you use? I'm looking for a pair of pants that goes in the boot as well as over the boot and yours looked like they did that.

[@precipiceofgrind]

They are the Rev It Sand 4 H2O pants. Overall they do a good job and have done an excellent job at protection. Pretty warm in the summer but are awesome for the other seasons. Wish they had belt loops.
