Just a 12 minute edit of the most fun riding parts of Woodchuck pass, the expert section of the WYBDR's infamous section 7. This was September 14th 2022 and I rode it on a 20 year old heavily laden KLR650. Just 4 days earlier they had reported in excess of 4 inches of snow in this area but I found the track conditions favorable. I did not opt for completing section 8 in the same day as I was getting rather tired. I finished up the next morning around 830AM at the montana boarder and rode back as the forecasted rains just began.

quick video cut from the surviving clips of my 2021 Colorado BDR trip on my 2003 klr650

Was hoping to complete the montana mountain trail but blew out my tire on some rocky trails headed for the summit.

Very difficult trail ride on my little kawasaki KE100 2 stroke. steep dusty hills, a half burnt top end, and an overweight rider. Ended up turning back when my fuel ran low just below the summit. Broke my shifter shaft on the way down leaving me with third gear or nothing. Made the best of it and got back to the truck. fun but expensive ride.
