Wow! I am glad you are ok. Thank you for all of your tips.

Greetings JR. I’ve recently discovered your channel…inspiring. I too am getting longer in the tooth (lol) and have got back into riding. I resonate with your sentiments. Living in the South Island of New Zealand we (whilst small land wise compared to Your country) have some amazing landscapes. To have the blessing of still riding amongst/through Gods creation is truly a blessing. Thanks again for your videos. Ride Safe . God bless

Love the vids. Not sure of your location but any riding like this in Indiana?

Hi Jr, struggling to find any contact email for you and your channel. My names Brenden Godwin I’m the son of Gs trophy Thailand team America, Dennis Godwin. I’m about a week out from launching my website that will have a large focus on retailing Adventure and touring helmets to start and 70 other motorcycle parts and accessories brands soon to follow. I’d love to collaborate and pick your brain and even offer an affiliate link if you were interested.

Amazing adventure!!

How did you get back?

Hey Joe, your videos are inspirational to me. At 72 I'm constantly questioning the wisdom of riding and exploring alone. Admittedly we don't have your amount of trails across here in the UK, but every October I clear off to Spain on my Himalayan, and explore the mountain trails across there. I get a lot of pleasure from both the riding, and recording for my little channel. One serious consideration moving on, would be an emergency locator beacon. I have a sister across there, but Cleveland Ohio isn't really my sort of area. Thanks again for sharing these videos and stay safe Joe. 😎

Best Moto Video ever ! Its a true community and we do it for the adventure and brotherhood! Keep God First. Ride on!

Exactly what I needed to hear. Suffered a couple of losses in the last few weeks and your wise words have put a lot in perspective. Hope our paths cross along this journey. Thank you!

Great video Joe, and nice riding through that sand. You've got a great positive attitude. I've ridden all of the best singletrack in Moab quite a few times on my mountainbike over the years and the scenery does not get old.

I sure would like to get my hands on those GPS tracks! Also, I would love to ride the Idaho BDR with you next summer! What do you think? 🤙🏼

Right on!❤

Absolutely stunning! Riding dual-sport motorcycles through the Canyonlands is a dream come true. The mix of rugged terrain, wide-open spaces, and breathtaking views makes this a bucket-list adventure for any rider. Great job capturing the surreal beauty and thrill of the ride!

What a blessing seeing fellow believers on two wheels sharing the good news.

Dingweed’s!

JR, You are a breath of fresh air in a murky world. Keep riding and teaching! This 69 year old pastor-evangelist, who rides a BMW R1200 GSA appreciates your wisdom and perseverance. Continue to pass it on.

What a beautiful day for a ride. I'm going to have to agree with what one guy said. You are pretty much a pastor on your videos. Thanks Joe.

Thanks for sharing..b safe...God bless

Joe you're a good man, thanks for the adventures.

Great video and message!

I’m really enjoying this series of videos! Thank you for sharing!

Enjoyed this ride. 78 and still ride my Tiger 800 although I don’t think I would be a good choice for some of the trails you were on for me. So thinking about a smaller bike for such adventures. A 250 is more than enough in power but kind of looking at the KTM 390 R. 348 lbs. still heavier than the 250 though. Are you done with the 650? Great job on the video and the ride you shared. Have a great winter looking forward to seeing you next year.

Fun journey! Thanks for sharing. Might be my summer 2025 destination. Not too far from my home in Colorado!

JR, another great episode, and your insights are what separate you and your stories from others. Hope to share a trail with you sometime!

Thanks Joe for making this video! I'm almost 70, and getting over recent back surgery. I got my first bike at eleven. It was used, but it started my love of riding! One of the first things I got when I got home from the Army was a motorcycle. I've had several over the years. Most of my riding was to and in the mountains. My wife even got her own bike and rode with me. I sold my last bike a few months ago and I may never ride again....I hope I'm wrong! A motorcycle touches your spirit like nothing else! I met an old motorcycle rider awhile back, who had been in at least one Biker gang. He had owned several bikes over his lifetime and he said to me " It doesn't matter what kind of bike you ride, as long as you ride"! That's always stuck with me!

Very cool and beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing.

The question should be where are the women in this group and why only men ? Women are very adventurous too and ride motorcycles, so, where are they?

Thanks Joe for that awesome ride. What a beautiful trail you had to ride there. Glad it wasn’t as hard as the last episode. Look like you’re having a great time. Can’t wait to see the next episode. Thank you.

Niceee!

Thank you JR. I will be 50 in February and I greatly appreciate your sharing of life’s gifts. Call it experience, wisdom, faith, it’s all part of the greatest wealth that you share. You are a KZbinr, but also an Adventure Pastor of many. Good bless you and Thank you.

Words of wisdom thank you!!! That ride definitely lets you appreciate life❤

Great mission JR! Thanks for sharing.

Well said. Thanks Joe

That was an awesome ride JR. Something about the desert, and those views. Thanks for acknowledging your faith and sharing your bond of friendship and brotherly love. I have never seen a desert in person and this video really ignites a longing in me to get out there and witness another marvel of our creator.

Great speech that moved me a lot. I need to ride that

We already know our destination as believers. I've heard it said it's the dash between the dates on the headstone that you need to make the most of. You are definitely doing that! Another great video thanks for taking us along.

That's another good one JR! Being 71 I get where you're coming from. Please keep em coming as long as you can sir! May God bless.

I enjoyed reliving that ride! The closer to the destination we get the more grateful I am for the journey! Ride on!

It's so fun to see friends in your videos. Another great one Joe!!

Great video! I bought my very first motorcycle 6 years ago, at age 50, and decided on a used adventure bike so I could ride off pavement. I've had so many great adventures and explored a lot of places I wouldn't otherwise have seen. I'm upgrading to a new bike next spring, and like you I plan to continue to ride as long as I possibly can. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a scene, amazing back drop. Love what you said about your skill set. Push it, grow from the experience, have stories. I have to admit though, not a trail I would have chosen on the bike. One I would have taken my Jeep on though!

When you’re in deep sand like that and trying to gain momentum, start in second. Rev the engine as you rock the bike back and forth and as you rock back forward drop the clutch. Do not feather the clutch.

Glad to see these adventures been out creating my own.

I am a street rider of same age looking for more ADV info. Do you have a video of gear choices ? From boots to camping gear to navigation.

Excellent job riding up the nasty hill at 6min!

GREAT RIDING !!!

My gosh what a ride man. I now know why everyone was talking about this ride last weekend at the event. This looks crazy, mentally draining, and like a lot of fun. Is this the most challenging ride you have done?

I love the slow race "the boys" are doing in the beginning. Reminds me of the father sons skills weekend with Brock in TN. Talk about epic scenery. What a beautiful ride. Also some pretty serious sand. 😮

What a great video! I had such a good time, even when it turned dark I was still having fun. I hope to do it again someday. It was a pleasure to ride with you!

You got a remind viewers people do the whole loop on mountain bikes all the time …you know the kind you have to pedal
