Here's the video from Moab: There was sooo much video to sort through. Brad and I were both wearing cameras pretty much the entire time we were on the bikes. I made 3 separate parts.. hope it's entertaining and not too long. Although, I could probably sit and watch the entire 50+ hours of it and not get bored  but I'd be reliving it so I guess its different Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

That single track looks like insane. I know that pictures and video never do justice to the real obstacles and slope angles.

I've realized after this trip seeing my front end dive over the rocks that my front suspension is waaaay too soft. I've ordered some .58 springs to replace the stock .48s. I think I'd ideally need a revalve to improve damping as well.. anyone know any good suspension guys? (don't say rev motorsports )

Who was that guy from Custom Cycle - Barry Bogner or something like that? He is supposed to be a suspension guru, although I've never had any work done by him.
Actually I'm thinking the 690 forks are a bit soft too - although they're still way better than the KLR forks with the progressive springs.

Just watched the videos - had to change my shirt 2 minutes into the first one 'cause it was soaked from all the drool.
I'd have chickened out earlier in the single-track and wouldn't have had to climb back up that nasty hill.
Thanks for sharing!

Yikes those jagged rocks don't look very forgiving
