Just a tip when adventuring through the desert from a 25 year desert dweller. Temps drop drastically in the winter when the sun goes down. When looking for a campsite in the desert in the winter, avoid washes and low lying areas. The cold air will settle in those washes. The temperature difference is drastic. Try to camp on the higher ground and try to position your tent/camp spot so it will not be shaded from the early morning sun. Obviously the opposite is true in the hot months.

Great tips! I didn't even think about the cold air settling. I was just looking for a "hidden" spot so I can avoid people.

Very nice looks like fun .. I'm planning on doing a couple middle sections of the Nevada bdr on my dr650 soon or a Bodie ghost town run and make up my own rout around there. Thanks for the good videos it was also fun watching you work the little 310 GS

I’m hoping to purchase either a Honda 750 Transalp or an Appria Tourette 660. Then I will definitely take this ride, but hope to go with three other people.

You should never go out by yourself specially on a BDR, and specially in the Arizona wilderness without a gun of some sort. I would never go without a gun, rifle or shotgun. You never know what you’re gonna come across out there by yourself. Just a suggestion!

How's the DR on the highway? I'm torn between the a DR650 and a larger parallel twin ADV bike for BDRs. I'd like to ride to the BDRs on the bike, which would may be a thousand miles or so.

The DR650 does well for a dual sport. Enough power to pass cars and 18 wheelers. However, I keep my crusing speed at 75mph or less. It can do 85 mph, but I wouldn't do it for hours at a time. The twin cylinder bikes are far more comfortable on the highway. The DR really shines once you are off pavement and into the tougher terrain. I hope this info helps.

Do you have any suspension upgrades? My dr650 is just about all set up. I just haven't decided if I'm going to do the suspension this year or not yet.

Nothing yet, would like some race tech or cogent in the future. The forks are soft, but seem ok for now. Made it through everything so far.

I added the Cogent Mojave rear and Cogent springs/emulators in the front. They drastically changed the ride and my feeling of control.
