Yep we’re still watching and loving it 😍 Keep it up 👍

[mkramsauer]

What a blast! Best way to spend the day!

[hokogan]

I don’t know man, Black Loop up in Conover might hold the title of “toughest singletrack in Wisconsin.”

Tigerton sure is fun, though.

[jimriley]

Looks like you guys are almost ready for some bdr routes!!! NICE

[claydelsman]

As a risk taker just wonder if I should try this with my 650

[johnniewade]

Go swank go. You can do it !!!! Way to ride

[firekong]

This has to be the best video i’ve seen on trail ridding you guys didn’t give up from what is in the video and didn’t hesitate most of the time.

Man I love my Tdubs. Didn’t know you had one as well Swanky. Funny story for ya: so I’ve been filming and adventuring here in colorado for about a month and a half. When I first got here, I saw a guy who had two brand new TWs parked behind his class B in ironton(near ouray, co). Turns out he bought them so he and his wife could enjoy exploring together. Well, turns out the wife can’t ride at all. First time she went out, she broke a rib. Second time(going up corkscrew gulch switchbacks) she set it down in a switchback and broke an ankle.
Well, he REALLY wanted to go out and ride still so he offered me to use his TW(I unfortunately didn’t bring mine on this adventure only had my defender 6x6). So I said HELL YEAH! And got to put on a couple hundred miles on his brand new TW before he ended up selling both of them, convinced he needed more power and hated the fact that they are absolutely gutless. So…he decided the next best option would be an africa twin adventure DCT with some knobbies. I told him that’s a terrible idea because for what he’s looking to do (only off-road, everything but single track for some reason) it’s not going to end well because you’d have to be a badass rider to handle all that weight.
Well…after traveling 2000 miles, spending hundreds on fuel, wasting money on knobbies…he’s selling it after only two hundred miles on the bike.
All because he wanted to be able to go 10mph faster uphill.
He kept telling me I need to get a bigger bike than the TW….I told him that I knew exactly what I was getting into with the TW. I know they’re gutless. I know they have crap suspension. But they’re insanely capable, and tons of fun. Plus it is helping me develop off road skills that you can’t get by just jumping on a midsize ADV bike.
I’m working on getting a tenere 700 to start my ADV phase, and am really torn on whether I want to sell the TW or not to help with the cost of the tenere.
Anyways, just like your comment halfway through the video, I doubt you made it this far 🤣

Def watched it all, fellow KLR rider from the Waukesha Area so how could I not.

[vford]

Have a blast on the crf250f on those trails, not so much on the drz400 but bringing that up to bayfeild county to ride for a few days next week, good content swanky👌

[brucemorrison]

I live in Colorado and would love to ride that trail system some day.Looks so fun. Enjoyed your video.

[teddyvabson]

Great video Swanky! What comms system are you using? Sounds really good.
I'm so jealous of your relationship with your Dad, I can't talk to mine for half an hour without getting into an argument, I wish I could do something like this with my dad.

[dangrippe]

Fun video to watch. I would have gone down several times for sure. What communicators do you guys use? Would be nice to talk like that while riding.

[markustube]

I loved every second of this! That trail was super interesting and very challenging, but you both just killed it. Congrats! And the fact that your riding buddy is your dad? Damn, that really gets me. Cherish these times...

[graymangw]

Watched it all. Really cool to see what the bikes are actually capable of.

[paulcondie]

After all these years I'm first! Woo hoo 🙌🙌🙌 lol. Looks like you guys went to the gym on your bikes! 💪💯🇺🇸

[hazcat]

The mighty TW goes where the T7 and the KLR dare not.

[mattbarrois]

Maybe next summer I will bring one of my bikes up to Waupaca when I go for the summer and we can meet up there I would love to get a good ride in with you especially with how great the weather is up there compared to Louisiana this time of year

[terrysmith]

Hello, just recently bought an 03 TW. 56 yrs old and getting back into some trail riding. I installed tusk 30mm risers but would like to raise the bars more (Possible another 2”). What handle bars would you recommend and would I need to do anything as far as cable lengthening? Also, I sure have enjoying watching your channel, you have a lot of good info.

[ronfox]

Is this a repost of a vid i saw long ago?
I have a tw and have always loved it, but seems lke the sherpa was a better bike overall. I was always suprised i didnt see more of them around.
