Deep River Crossing On A Suzuki V-strom 650 | ADV Motorcycle Water Crossing | Earls Ford Rd

I have been thinking about this river crossing for a long time and I finally got the chance to cross it during a recent motocamping trip. It was worth the wait because it ended up being the most fun water crossing that I have done so far. If you follow our channel you know that creek crossings are along with cooking up good food while motocamping is sort of our thing. If you attempt water crossing like this on our big ADV motorcycle just be careful because if you go too deep or too fast the bike can take on water and flood in the bike out and it won't run into you clear it out. We're still surprised by what a Suzuki V-strom 650 can handle and can't wait to see what else it can do. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing.

That one inch suspension lift might have helped out on this one. Hit that like button and subscribe button! Make sure to hit that notification bell too. We would greatly appreciate it. Share share share. As always thanks for watching. If you watch until the end we show the return crossing in 3rd person too.

Piece of cake, I hate it when there's a stray rock that puts you out of balance.

[docadventures]

Holy Smokes Greg! Well done! You actually made it look easy. Understand there are just some things out there that must be conquered. I wish we could have seen the look on the face of the jeep driver when he saw you going across that river! Excellent!! Cheers!

[Motoramblings]

I dig you guys. Athens GA here, 2012 VStrom. Been riding parts of the GAT (5 minutes from my home)for years and didn’t know it was a thing ? LOL.

Nice. It's those under water rocks that I worry about the most. Well done to just keep the momentum and get it done.

When I first came back to adventure bikes after many years, I went out riding with buddy in mid-spring. It had been decently rainy so the route we took had 5 or 6 water crossings on trails or gravel roads out in the Ozarks.

My buddy was ahead of me and on the very first water crossing, his wheels sunk in the deep rocks that hadn't compacted yet and he went over. That's when I knew I was going to get hooked on ADV again hahaha

[OzADVRider]

Awesome job mate! I remember the video when you guys first looked at crossing it. Sure was deep but you made it look easy.

[SNxrr]

Yes Indeed....You made it look guys do amazing things on big heavy in

[peterk]

That’s impressive, who says the Stroms not an adventure bike!

Watched this one in my pool, with my Wee Strom feet away in the garage. Hell yeah brother.
