It sure is!

I've wondered what was to the left after that creek crossing. Looks like some nice secluded camping down there. Sorry about that brake issues.

Little buggy depending on time of year but awesome spot! Thanks for watching!

Nice DRZ setup! I need to get out in that area to ride, just haven't been able to swing it yet. Sick of always riding the flat roads we have in Charleston!

[@GooseADV]

Thanks! Beautiful area, you won't regret it!

I hate the no passers lol. Were you able to buy the DRZ400E new in your state or is that an older bike? I can only find them on the aussie Suzuki site, i know they are big there. Im on a 400S.

I bought it used in SC and added an S rear subframe, so I can carry passengers or in this case, luggage. The E models are a rare find!

Only you would have a spare master cylinder in your tool kit! 😂 also, thanks for the shout out early in the video, looking forward to episode 2! 💪🏻🥃
