Dumb and Dumber recreated...

[Phil Tarman]

I saw Zack Courts and Ari Hemming mention their recreation of the "Dumb and Dumber" ride from Nebraska to Aspen while I was watching their "Highside/Lowside" discussion that included the evaluation of BMW's "Lifetime" chain. I watched the recreation and it was pretty fun, especially since Ken Malone (RedBird) and I have ridden almost all of what they rode until after they left Walden, CO, and the Red Rock Cafe. Most of the film they shot is on CO-14 east of Ault, and then on CO-14 as it goes up the Poudre River Canyon and over Cameron Pass.

Yup, and I'm glad we did it on motorcycles, not that mini bike contraption they created, especially since Phil and I did not have a chase van to supply us with whatever.

I watched the entire video. Fairly entertaining. I recognized most of the places along the route. Those guys are definitely more tenacious than me! No way I'd attempt that with or without a support van following along!

Amazing trip with or without a support van. I would never think of doing it now but 30 or 40 years younger just maybe……

And I know just who I would have done it with too!

Thanks for sharing.

This is the exact tire they can be seen installing in the hotel. 260 lb load limit.

They probably would have gotten better tread life with a sawtooth pattern in 4 ply, but that would make for a less interesting video.
