Ducati Dirty Dozen - Episode 2 (Day 3)

Day 3 of our ride on the Ducati Dirty Dozen challenge. We intentionally skipped over day two.

On day 3, we rode 7 peaks:

-Stony Pass 12,592ft (3,838m)
-Cinnamon Pass 12,620ft (3847m)
-California Pass 12,960ft (3950m)
-Hurricane Pass 12,730ft (3880m)
-Corkscrew Pass 12,244ft (3732m)
-Imogene Pass 13,114 (3997m)
-Ophir Pass 11,814ft (3601m) Optional, not officially part of the challenge

I got our first (and only) flat tire of the trip. Yes, I have tubes in my tubeless rims. Seating a tubeless tire on a wide rim can be nearly impossible with a small pump while on trail. The DX rims are very wide and with certain tires, we've even had a tough time seating them in the shop with a 5hp air compressor.

I especially appreciate the lighting strike/camel burp at the end! 😂 Great work, Cory.

The lake between California and hurricane is one of my favorite spots on the alpine loop.

Lol yes! Thanks for the lightning-camel-strike! Brilliant!

Well done! Impressed with how you two handled the "middleweight" DesertX. I thoroughly enjoy my DesertX, but lack the skills and guts to tackle the Dirty Dozen :(

NICE BIKES Lads, i wouldnt mind one myself

Looks like an excellent ride! And whoever chose the music Playlist nailed it!

I can only recall one pass where a GS rider had a bucket list climb. Some riders turned back and others helped each other. It may have been the Ofir or maybe Engineer's pass.

Hi Cory. Watched all three. Impressive ride. I've done ten of them.. Need to git after it again. Smooth ride on the Ducs. Good drone footage looking over your shoulder. Safe travels. Happy New Year

Great video! Don’t know why, but I wanted to see film of the tacos in Telluride too…full immersion so to speak…I’m probably just hungry…

Nice one Cory, shooting the pictures this way takes a fue pounds off you mate

[alainmaurice]

Which bike do you like more T7 or Desert. Fantastic images as well as music. Thank you

[DadventureMoto]

The riding looks so sick! What drone are you using? Those shots look great! Looking forward to the next one!

Great video, incredible views. May I ask what was logistics like to get your bikes there to-from Alberta?

[Michael_Shay]

These videos have been cool to see. I hope to make it down to Colorado some day. Question unrelated to the video: Would you rather have a KTM 890 adventure R or a T7 with the price difference put into modifications?
