Come on Donkey!

Best time to visit Big Bend is when day time temps in the 60s to 70s. Thats in the middle of November the best time of the year.. And when u get home its the thanksgiving season.

If ever you feel sore throat developing, gargle warm water mixed with teaspoon of salt. Do it vigorously with emphasis to the inflammed part of the buccal mucosa 3 x a day.. And and get you some real lemonade juice from the grocery store, not some synthetic flavoring.

Crossing that bridge and seeing the canyon river is amazing.. Texas is huge .

Nice video. I live along section 6 and ride a KLR and run this section on it and up Mt Washington. The Klr goes anywhere!

My goal in life

The real peace of a man

Dude !! Get some ADV boots !!

Riding this section tomorrow!

Hi, thanks for the video. Quick question, how many time last the section 8? Is it doable in few hours ? Many thanks

Can’t hear the ride. Music ruined it. Exiting out & blocking channel.

My dear sir you are stressing me out… can you please get some boots on. I have seen what a stray rock will do to a foot with sneakers on. Please! 😅

Great video sir! Thanks so much for the closing words it was so positive for I definitely appreciate you.God bless you

I am about to start this section. I like backroad but not mud roads. I ride solo with heavy packs. Is there a sign before you hit those mud road.

Great video, thanks for posting. Would someone maybe air down on the tires a little to accomplish this trail (the rocky sections)?? Looks like fun.

Donkey is working hard, great video series, some pretty good rocks on this leg. Thank you for posting.

New rider/new KLR 650 owner. This ride is on the list, looks great out there. Thank you for posting.

Moisture definitely makes a difference. This BDR seems like it would great if it were dry, wet looks sketchy. Great video, thanks for posting.

Riding off road with snickers . Stupid very stupid

Nice video what gps do you use and type of mount ? Whay time of year did you go ? Now I have to watch the rest of your videos thanks !

Thank you for your faith in God for your safety. Enjoyed the video and look forward to doing the SCAR

It was so nice to watch a sensible rider! Driving at reasonable speeds so not to rip through and have more of our trails taken away up here in New England.. Too many of these videos show irresponsible riders just tearing up the roads ruining it for all riders. Thank you!

What’s the significance of the stickers on your windshield? Great video!

Great video. Thanks and greetings from the Charlotte area. I'm thinking about riding it too. Got a 2012 KLR 650 and a new BMW 1250 GSA. Trying to decide which bike to ride there. Are there any nasty deep water crossings along the route that wasn't shown in the video?

Really like your videos!! Ty! I’m doing section 6 tomorrow. Do you remember how long it took you to?

At 26 minutes this one looks like the beginning of Reading Pond Road. Your thought process is just what I go through. "I could but do I want to?'" Riding on some of these roads it helps to have a companion...or 6. This road becomes and remains gnarly. It's only bad, though, if you make the mistake I did and miss the little go-around to the right on Mt. Moses Rd. shortly after the Walker Trail intersection. If you miss it as I did last Tuesday (7/2 24) you'll be on course to a challenge on a steep rocky climb before the two roads remerge.

Nice video and I like your choice of music. Why is it nobody filming this section of the NEBDR ever tells us the name of the roads they're on or give any clue to where they are? I have ridden the NEBDR twice and finally, in this video, recognize Ice Bed Road, which is a true piece of work. From the start of section 4 Ice Bed Road is a long way into the section. So we go along for the ride with the rider and I think we're not far from Readsboro and past many class 4s and suddenly we're on Ice Bed Road. We don't know the time of year either though there are a few clues that it's early autumn. These class 4 roads all offer different challenges depending on how wet they are. Even the stony ones are effected depending on the recent rainfall or previous winter's snow melt. Usually when viewing these videos I get the feeling that I've never been on that road before. GoPros make them hard to recognize because of the distortion. Still, though, it's fun to see the roads from other people's rides and as a beginner, more or less, I use these videos to help me learn the riding skills I need. Spending a second or two to give us the name of the road would be helpful.

Did you observe and free campsites along the way?

I would need to go fast to pass those roads. You manage really well going slow

Dude! Hightops?

Love my KLR. Mostly explores the Rockies and the West, but it’s nice to know there’s places for KLRs in the east, too. Thanks for the ride-along.

Wow , great music and video

First moto vlogger I’ve found sharing the word….very encouraging! I purchased a klr recently I hope to do some bdr stuff on this year, there’s a big portion of the mid Atlantic that runs right through my backyard in WV. God bless and safe travels!

Did that section on my ktm 500 exc-f. No issues what so ever. Thats why I prefer the 500 over these heavier bikes.

Gordon, thank you for the video. I bought a Klr this year and am hoping to do the NEBDR next summer. Last year I felt God calling me back after a long time in my life of straying from the path. I will be bringing my Bible with me on the BDR, so I can read the word while being out in the beauty of creation. Ride safe brother

Hi Gordon, can you tell me how you transfered GPX tracks to your Garming- did you use trip planner and get turn by turn directions?

Old man here on a KLR, cool videos... Subscribed.

First, let me thank you for acknowledging that God made possible all of the beauty you experienced along your ride. I’m a 65 year old retired guy who would like to make a ride on the NEBDR on my ‘23 KLR 650s. I’ll be candid. I’m not sure I’m up to the large steep rocky sections shown on your videos. The rest looks doable for me. Are there easier workarounds for these steep rocky sections? Are they shown on the GPS files and the Butler Maps? Thanks so much for sharing your ride with us and sharing God with us along the way.

I wrote to you on your church website email twice and still no response.

I just subscribed! Great quality videos, editing and music. What time of year were you at MABDR? 👍

Neighborwoods - That's perfect! Thanks for sharing section 5 of your MABDR ride!

Great video. Your faith in our God makes my soul smile!! I can't wait to ride the SCAR

I love your last 4 minute. Your words resonate in my head. I try to live by those principles!! Bless you brother!!

I’m not sure who quoted this, but I love it. “ Some of God’s greatest gifts lie just on the other side of fear”.

I came back on watched this video because of your infectious positive spirit!! TY!!!!

I’m loving this series so far! Thanks for sharing Gordon!

WOW Gordon! thank you for sharing God's word. I was doing research on the KLR and ran into your video. I couldn't help but cry thanking him for finding anyway he can to call me. Thank you again and God bless you!

Stay safe

That’s definitely a ride I’m going to take. Probably trailer my bike from New York. Seems nice , flat and peaceful

My neck of the woods!
