Dan's Black Hills off road ride

dantama · 06-30-2009, 01:21 PM

I only went on one off road ride. During the free day I went looking for adventure and found this ATV trail. As we all know, it was wet in the Black Hills, so the ground was slippery, but the scenery was great.

Great video.
You are crazy, but you got skill

Put knobbies on that Nad Dan and you could go farther. LOL

I would like to see it from another vantage point so I could see the look of concentration on your face. Nice riding
Did you happen to see any ATVs on the trail? I wonder what they would have thought... I would like to see the look on their faces as well :)

Ha! Who says the Nomad won't handle dirt?

Way to go Dan!

Well done, Dan!

I was kinda waiting for a picture of you riding down, or up, one of the presidents noses!!

phenrichs · 06-30-2009, 02:34 PM

I am going to assume Dan that unlike your other Rally videos the camera was mounted to the bars this time?

Wish I had gone with you that looked fun.

dank · 06-30-2009, 02:47 PM

Jeez Dan, I've gone down rural driveways more challenging than that trail. Having spent many days off-road in the western states, I think you wimped out badly. Are you losing your nerve. I know there were tougher trails than that for you to have tried. Gotta do better than that if you want our continued adulation!

i think op is on to something here.left hand working the throttle
while the camera is held in the right hand would just be to much
to believe.

Yes, it was on my handlebar mount. I didn't find a way to kill the reflections on the windshield before the rally, so on sunny days like the Badlands video it would be full of reflections off the shield.

It works a lot better mounted. With another day or two before the rally I could have figured out a way to kill the reflections.

Too bad, the Badlands one would have been a lot better.

**schoeney** · 06-30-2009, 11:14 PM

Dan....I don't think you will be riding my bike anytime soon....did you know that Kawasaki, Honda, Ktm, Yamaha, and many others are now making and selling bikes made to go off road?

Thanks for the video!
