#4 Continental Divide ride looks like a Bucket List ride for me.

[@JS-ny8sn]

Myself and my son (18) with a great friend and his son (14) just did 440 miles of the Oregon BDR a few weeks ago. It was phenomenal. We did the section from Diamond Lake to Hoodoo ski area. I was on a Husqvarna 701, my son was on a CRF250L, my friend was on a KLR650 and his son was on a TW200🤘🏻. I am looking forward to doing the rest of the Oregon BDR in the future 🤙

[@emfl4437]

I'll offer up Lassen and Plumas National Forests offer up some great roads in Northern California. MOAB is on my bucket list. Great video, thanks for sharing

[@oldtimer3824]

Regarding Plumas national forest - do you have a paved loop suggestion from either Yuba City or Sacramento?

[@emfl4437]

@@oldtimer3824 From Yuba City head towards Belden, a tiny town and great pit stop. From there you are in riding heaven. I don't have particular routes, but I have never been disappointed. Cheers and happy adventures

[@oldtimer3824]

@@emfl4437 thanks brother, much appreciated! I could go Yuba City to Belden on hwy 70, right on Highway 70 to 89, right on 49 to 20 and back to Yuba City.

[@captainklr6508]

White Rim, Moab. Did it yesterday 8 hours with two short breaks.

[@GeezerWheels]

Really appreciate your vids. I live in SW Colorado and ride the Silverton area often and have now added Moab to my list. I totally agree that this is premium ADV country. I ride a Husaberg FE390 for rougher stuff, a Versys X300 for lighter stuff and a Vstrom 650XT for mostly street and light off road. All there are wonderful tools for their purpose. Thanks again for your down to earth vids and suggestions. -Ray near Durango

[@americanflyer4126]

Wow! Spectacular! The west is so open and vast. And the weather is reliably good. Here in New England almost all undeveloped areas are heavily forested. The trails are narrow and rocky and muddy. But there are a lot of trails in almost every town outside the cities. They're just not well known. Only the locals ride them. It usually takes a lot of planning to ride all day because you will have to jump on and off many different trails.

[@BigRockMoto]

I am glad to.live in the west usa

[@ZSharkPH]

I live in Las Vegas.. And have ridden a bunch of BDR'S.. Idaho is a must do, if you haven't already. I still need to ride death valley. Thanks for the tips.. so much to see... Keep Moving !!!

[@BigRockMoto]

IDBDR is on my list

[@paul.vanhout57]

Death Valley definitely epic adventure riding and stunning views. Titus Canyon my favorite.

[@robertstrasen573]

thanks Ian as usual another great and informative video i live in canyon country so mojave is my back yard it is beautiful be safe my friend

[@kawabungah20]

Ditto on your awesome picks! I would add Crater of the Moon back roads in Idaho and Eastern Washington, Oregon Outback in all of Southeastern Oregon, all off Canyonlands NP, and Lolo Canyon in Idaho / Montana, just to name a few. Those of us in the western US are blessed!! I think Death Valley is my favorite... But wait, there's the San Juan in Colorado.... But to wait...

[@kee7678]

Wow Ian,, so much great info in this video. I was taking notes fast and furious. I want your life dude!

[@MotoPavilion]

Stunning places. I’m putting all this in my bucket list.

[@caltexhawk]

Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park and Terlingua, TX

[@jnp505]

Excited to see Death Valley even though I'll primarily be street riding

[@BigRockMoto]

It's awesome and there is easy dirt. Tell Brandon to get you a new bike

[@hwobstj]

Great stuff and you’ve given me some new inspirations to ride in. I live in New Mexico and love riding here and CO, but want to get into WY, ID, and CA. The CDT sounds like a really awesome trip, NM to Canada. All across some awesome states.

[@BigRockMoto]

It is awesome

[@dennisossianderrmplmtcst2053]

Thanks Ian, great tips, we really appreciate it. Safe travels and keep up the great travel and review journey! Gratefully, Dennis

[@wayneh8767]

Hey Ian, I'm from 🇨🇦 Canada, just north of North Dakota and looking to do some adventure riding state side. I'm liking the idea of Montana down to Colorado for a first run. This is exactly what I needed, info from someone who lives in the thick of it. You sure are in adventure land there.

[@sbrown8307]

Great stuff.......I would add Mammoth Lakes, June Lake Loop, Owens River Valley to my list. For coastal vibe I enjoy Usal Beach, shelter cove, and kings range. Amazing old growth and ocean vistas. Just don’t deviate from the main dirt roads, lots of stinky grows here.

[@BigRockMoto]

Love the sierras!!

[@FlyingMonkeyAdventureRiders]

I can’t wait for DV!!

[@lastme3404]

I'm a newbie when it comes down to it. But I want to build on my experience with my 890 R adventure. I live in southern California, where do you recommend I start. Definitely looking forward to a l ot you covered in this video.

[@bhart89]

Awesome video.

[@BigRockMoto]

Thanks

[@MobMoto]

IDBDR is pretty cool, but it's a short window. I have a lot of death valley to explore yet, thanks for the tips.

[@pigeonpallz1733]

My son is getting his motorcycle permit and we are starting to plan some adventures outside of our home area of the imperial valley in the deep south of California. I was wondering if you might have a favorite or some suggestions. I realize it's probably asking alot and I appreciate you making the videos you make . Also I took my doughtier to the warm springs ranch and the area is amazing especially if you don't know the ranch is there lol . Thank you again

[@bernardhossmoto]

Lookin good!

[@gavinaron1234]

Luv ur content

[@1dancier]

Lots of great scenery in the vid, would like to ride through parts of the US on a moto, but would cycle the GDMBR though.

[@jasonwagoner3201]

what tires you have on your bike? those look pretty good for the style we ride.

[@giliocervantes6793]

I wanna do some rides with my concours 14 hopefully I can make it

[@jessegodwin1168]

Hi, what are few great areas that is capable for the Hemilayan? Could I do most of the stuff around Moab and in the San Juans?

[@adrian2712]

Are there gas stations in the middle of nowhere on these routes? How are you refueling on the gdmbr? Honestly curious

[@abhiT569]

any suggestions for the east coast. I know yeah. lol

[@5096PS]

WHAT'S YOUR CHOICE FOR TIRES FOR RIDING GRAVEL AND HIGHWAY,,,50/50? GRAVEL IS VERY SKETCHY, I'M NEW TO DUAL SPORT, KLR650 BIKE, HOPING FOR GOOD LOSE GRAVEL TIRES.THANKS

[@donwatkins9769]

I wish you would say what bike you should or better yet should not ride on these trails on. But love all your KZbins.

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

What kind of motorcycle tires do you recommend for these kind of rides? Something more aggressive than 80-20s?

[@TheOkietech]

What size air hawk seat pad is that ?

[@BigRockMoto]

Cruiser R, small

[@ianferrier235]

Nice Ian,was that you and your 990? Love to have a 2012 or 13 .

[@BigRockMoto]

[@Checkyoursix77]

Sahara deserts or TET.

[@dougdekuiper3194]

[@markcormier3669]

I live at the base of Grand Staircase Escalate National Monument in Utah. 2 million acres of amazing remote Southern Utah back county with canyons, high vistas, and extreme remoteness. Check it out.

[@BigRockMoto]

been there! amazing

[@adammfharris]

I usually like your videos, but it seems like you forgot about our entire east coast.

[@Fahrenheit38]

I hate being on the east coast
