R1S over Hagerman Pass in Colorado

[Jemmoore]

1 week old R1S Quad motor, 20" A/T, Adventure package, all the way over Hagerman from Basalt, CO to Leadville, CO, pretty gnarly, here's a fun moment:

Looks great! I’ll have to get that pass a look. BTW, I’m the guy in the silver R1S–we spoke at the RAN in Broomfield after your Hagerman adventure. Have a great autumn—aspens changing in the high country yet?

Hi! it's definitely worth a run, aspens just starting to turn, we did Animas Forks and Columbia basin this week and autumn is on the way. Hope to see you out there...

Nice, I've only ever done that on a bicycle. Didn't even know you could drive there

Slightly off topic, but the Compass Yellow looks terrific, particularly with that backdrop.

Watching the video I'm guessing you didn't do this. I found out recently coming down Mt. Antero that the brake-hold was actually making it difficult to descend smoothly over rocks. If you use Off-Road => Rock Crawl you can turn off Hold and it's much, much easier to control on the descents in rocky terrain. I didn't find that necessary at all in the Ouray area though.

Did that a few weeks ago, myself! But I started from the Turquoise Lake side.

You should try Chaffee County Road 47YY off of Poncha Pass next. It is sketchy but a lot of fun.

Man - Animas Fork and Hagerman. I miss CO. Such a beautiful state. As a Californian, I won't go getting any ideas about moving...don't worry, but I do really want to come pay a visit soon.

Imogen a couple years ago in my 80 series. This was the same week I ordered my R1T--they did that press event over by Breckenridge and I was sold!

cool video but I'd rather hear the crunch and grind rather than musak.

I'll definitely give that a try next time, brake hold wasn't too helpful you're right

Well, I wrote the music, but if it wasn’t there you’d hear my brother-in-law yelling “right!!! No left!!! Right!!” Instead of crunch crunch

Hah! Small aside, but calling "driver" or "passenger" can be less confusing for both the driver and spotter.

We should organize a CO trail ride. I'm over north of Denver.

You folks organize and do a pass trip, I will wait and just watch the video! You could charge a fee to cover the tires! My experience with the R1T is that tires cost as much or more than "Fuel".
