Never feel the need to apologize for putting the family first.. Thank you for posting the entire trip..glad you finished..

[@jayhopkins1337]

I've been over anxious early spring snow drifts over roads. Sketchy!

[@matrix9_116]

I think you are lucky to just be able to get out and ride so which ever route you take is awesome and then to video it for us to view is even better

[@theadventurecooperative]

The video gets better and better as it goes along. It was great reliving our WABDR through you. You summed up little baby head hill not friendly. Its cool seeing some of the adventures you're AT has carried you through . It's missing you and day light.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

The WABDR was a fun trip. Glad I was able to do the entire thing. Without so much as a tip over even. Fun route. Idaho is in my sites next, just unsure of the when

[@theadventurecooperative]

@@ExploreAdventureMoto That's been on the bucket list for far to long. Let's do it next fall.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

@@theadventurecooperative even when healed up and feeling confident to ride again, riding opportunities for long trips will be quite limited next year due to time off of work. May not be till 2025 before I get another opportunity for a multi day to week long plus trip

[@taylor6181]

Very nice nod to Monty python

[@mrmbr]

Saw you during Ben's vid and the t-shirt. Keep posting videos of the adventures and anything else you want!

[@soilsmanadv6673]

Thank you for posting the entire trip..glad you finished.

[@sganzerlag]

This was awesome, thank you so much for sharing!! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

[@ParallelCamper]

Thanks for posting this adventure. Good stuff.

[@TheRyan668]

The Jungle has some serious PUCKER factor!

[@Nshuzoo]

Brilliant video entertaining and relaxing viewing,well 👍🏻 from the England

[@alexmacdonald258]

Thanks for sharing this trip! I watched Ben's videos on it earlier, and the 2 together give me plenty of information for my own run. The only concern I have is, I ride a TW200. While I've had the gears altered so she's a little faster on pavement, but they're pretty much high speed (I live near Leavenworth, so I know how people drive around here), Don't have any qualms about the little farm bike being able to handle the ruts-it probably won't even know they're there!

[@FrancoisTX1974]

Amazing, thank you.

[@luisamercadocordero2380]

.... thank you for posting your adventure and your honest thoughts of riding or not riding sections and why. Much respect to you. Ride safely always to ride another day.

[@D.E.X]

I use a small tube of Goop. It's great for cleaning yer hands after working on the bike AND it works great as tire lube. I hear hand sanitizer, which works great to sanitize yer hands and great for starting fires, works as a tire lube as well.

[@UnkleDavo]

New adventure rider in Washington at 55, after I get to learn my bike and do a couple solo trips, would love to do one of these

[@suzyamerica4679]

Beautiful trip .. thanks for sharing the video :)

[@Doublecheesemoto]

Great work!!! Still love seeing 🎗🎗Jack’s Army🎗🎗sticker.👍👍

[@mrmbr]

Lol great video Your commentary and camera is so much better than dork 😂

[@AT2021Rocker]

Had a beer and food in Stormy Mtn brewing several years ago while on a ride from the NHRA races in Seattle. Nice place, friggin hot! Btw, ride your ride man! Every section you do makes you a BDR rider!

[@andronuss]

Still fantastic to watch and what butiful landscape and adventure

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

Lets hear it for great suspension ...look at those forks working

[@butcherknife59knife46]

EAM Great video full of information for someone who would be riding the WABDR. Great group of guys Sure hope your friend has had a good recovery, Around Bend Oregon out on 2 wheels

[@D.E.X]

Kind of looks like Dork is a bad luck charm. 😎

[@paulreportingliv]

Nice ride, just wondering I’m a newbie when it comes to motorbikes… What makes you decide to use goggles instead of face shield??

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Hot days. Goggles provide far more ventilation 😉

[@paulreportingliv]

@@ExploreAdventureMoto Oh yeah 👍

[@TheRyan668]

Did you enjoy the store dude? He had some crazy stories to tell.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Which store?

[@TheRyan668]

@@ExploreAdventureMoto the gas station in Concunully. He was telling a story about a hand grenade and Tom Brady… not sure where he was going with it lol

[@mrmbr]

Everyone says motoz are the best! Tractionators ftw

[@ryanadventureeverything8758]

Another great video! Question. What communications are you and Ben running? Seems to work well at keeping connected in mountains and woods.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

SENA. I use the 50S. Not sure what Ben uses. In the 10 series I “think.”

[@daltonmjones1]

Looking at getting the Dunlop Trailmax mission 50/50 tire have you tried them or is there a tire that you would recommend?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

MotoZ. I use the Tractionator Adventure rear and Dual Venture on the front. Fantastic combo

[@richardconnoly]

Never feel the need to apologize for putting the family first.

[@TheRyan668]

at 1:01:22 is where the dozer was going through as we were coming down dumped it about 200ft in and it was all down hill from got caught in a rut at the bottom that bent my rear brake lever 180 under the foot pad and rear brake on full...

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Ouch!

[@RandomParrot]

I think I like the Dork in the Road better, when he is second fiddle!

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Awwww come on now…..😂

[@rideoregonfirst]

Was nice to watch this long version of WABDR while iced in after Christmas! Is it Summer yet?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

I wish man. Can’t wait for a camp out at crooked river in February. I’ll bring an appropriate bike this time 🤘

[@rideoregonfirst]

@@ExploreAdventureMoto The ADV Crooked River gig is the very end of March. Early February is my Birthday Campout atta river yet to be determined (determined by weather). But next weekend is a Dirt Bike Winter at Cline Buttes OHV!

[@insatiable_mind]

I like the edit. You’ve got flow. How many days were y’all out there. Would you plan more or less time if life wasn’t calling you in other directions?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

All told it was 6 days, that includes the first travel day. If someone was really rippin, the route “could” be done in 3 days fairly easy I’d think. but WHEN I do it again I’ll likely take 6-7 days again. There are some things I didn’t stop to see and take pics that I wish I had. I’d rather err on the side of too much time and take my time riding to really enjoy the scenery.

[@craigmccue2841]

I say the nay sayers and put downers can screw off. If you complete the route then you complete the route and it doesn't matter how you do it. People complete the TAT but not everyone does it in one singular trip and some take bypasses for good reason but they still complete it. I haven't done any of the BDR routes yet but I have ridden a couple of the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Routes, one I completed one in a single multi day trip and another was broken up over two weekends. That's the way it goes. It was still a blast.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

I don’t think any of those comments are meant maliciously, just poking fun. Just have to be careful what is said when folks are trying to get into the sport and they may get the wrong idea.

[@Devastator123]

How’s the pump?

[@callahantufts]

I might have missed it…. What were the dates of this trip.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Was the second week of July 2022

[@jayhopkins1337]

In my neighbor hood cool

[@mikethompson2007]

What month did you ride this...I'd like to avoid the 105°weather.🤬

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

July I think it was.

[@jamesbh101]

What is the rule for parking in a forest or on a trail?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Stay out of the way?

[@CLCKC69]

Dude great Nature scenes! Must have been amazing , especially riding with the dirk, Mike and broken leg guy. I can not believe none of you visited the hospital when you were in town. Please stop talking! Whom ever told you . That you need to speak during the entire video was wrong. Just give synopsis and point out interesting sites. Please infor the dork too. We watch to see the ride!! Thanks for the videos.

[@philr4724]

What bike is everyone else riding?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

On that trip, there was a 701, Norden901, ktm500, bmw850 and a T7 in addition to my bike

[@insatiable_mind]

Some people say if you walk part of a marathon you didn’t actually run a marathon. I think that’s stupid. I’ve run many races much farther than a marathon and just finishing without injury is a feat. If you have to ride one section at a time because you have a life you still accomplished it. I would even say that’s more difficult. You have to take care of family first.

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

People always gotta screw around

[@D.E.X]

Why bother giving detractors oxygen to propagate their negativity. Both you and Dork spend too much time (any time above zero seconds is too much time) commenting on possible future negative posts.

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

This is a fair point. Will do better in the future

[@The_WK]

Hello! What was the new gearing that you got at the time?

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

Added two teeth to the rear sprocket. Gave quite a bit more “grunt” down low without sacrificing too much top end
