I Broke the Law While Riding the Smokies

[@earlcharger]

Those 606 tires wear funny. Almost to knife points. I'm running an Anakee Wild on the front. Wearing awesome. Good grip in gravel also. Running the Motoz Tractionator Adventure on the rear. It sings a little on pavement but has all the grip when you need it. I just got in trouble from watching this video. I took off on my adv bike for a 5 mile ride. Wife was mad as hell. I was in a very bad motorcycle crash on July 12th. Spent 20 days in the hospital. Broke 4 ribs and left collar bone along with lacerations on my liver and spleen. I ended up losing my spleen.Lost 3 liters of blood into my chest cavity. Staples just came out two days ago. My Road King is destroyed all over a sharp piece of metal on the road at 45mph. I still have my adv bike and after watching this I had to ride. Not gonna lie. I was scared the whole 5 miles.

[@MotoMission.]

Wow. Wild story dude. Proud of you for getting back in and conquering the fear.

[@Ozarks57.]

The baptism was awesome!

[@MotoMission.]

What a story

[@OlsonADV]

The adventure community is the best and will always take time to help a rider in need.

[@MotoMission.]

You got that right.

[@Interbeing_CDN]

Lots of lessons in this video, I love that your video showed a typical group ride versus a slick production.

[@MotoMission.]

Glad you liked it!

[@n164bj]

Wow got a bonus with the baptism! Awesome 😊

[@MotoMission.]

Yes it was!

[@gbrianmullinax8448]

Oh man, I knew I remembered the Sunrise Grocery. Its at the turn for the Georgia Traverse. Great place to stop. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories!!

[@MotoMission.]

Great place !

[@markjeepingful]

You forgot everything that day!!! Hahaha!!!

[@MotoMission.]

My focus was riding. Everything g else was forgotten. I have many days like that

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Love that zip tie tire mounting trick. Looked like a great ride.

[@MotoMission.]

It was! Can’t wait for more of that

[@tracyharp5101]

Baptism there at the end, awesome.

[@MotoMission.]

Absolutely. Great story there

[@Bscott-390]

Best time of my life. Can't wait til next year.

[@MotoMission.]

Me too

[@stevedrickhamer3283]

Another great video and ride!

[@MotoMission.]

Glad you enjoyed it! Let’s ride

[@ba7837]

It's a good thing Joe was there as backup camera man!! Looks like a great time!!

[@MotoMission.]

He is everyone’s favorite adventure rider

[@The_MotoRebel]

I will be using that tire changing strategy, so glad to have seen that done so I can make use of it. Awesome dudes!

[@MotoMission.]

It’s good to ride with friends. Lots to learn.

[@mudcatstravels9751]

What an awesome ride! Great job on the video!

[@MotoMission.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ianferrier235]

Good thing for friends Brock, fun video man 😊

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah thanks. I wouldn’t survive without the good friends

[@jrdepew]

Very fun day and great video. Made it seem like day 2 didn’t even happen.!!😊

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Too soon

[@RonGray-w6i]

Awesome looks like a great time 👍

[@MotoMission.]

It was! Join us

[@franklindave]

I recognize those people! Great time!

[@MotoMission.]

Great dudes

[@Motoramblings]

Wait, you forgot your backpack, you forgot to pay for fuel, and you forgot some of your tools…. Are you actually my age??😂😂

[@MotoMission.]

Was gonna reply to your comment but I forgot what I was gonna say

[@Motoramblings]

@@MotoMission. 😂😂😂😂

[@SkyGuy505]

Great video man!

[@MotoMission.]

Appreciate it!

[@rustyspiker3569]

Do you know what stress I would have been under if instead of 7 more days it could have been 180 days in the pokey!! Don’t make me ride all the way out there just to keep you out of trouble!!! Carry on and chase down the adventure’s. I will be watching.

[@MotoMission.]

I understand. I will be on best behavior

[@Wilffo-cb9dp]

I think the flat tyre is due to the bite of a pitbull 😉

[@MotoMission.]

What else could it be ….?…..

[@FrancoisTX1974]

So cool the flat adventure.

[@MotoMission.]

Flats always deliver adventure

[@FrancoisTX1974]

@@MotoMission. I had one recently on a country road, in Texas, at 2 PM, nothing around and no shad…what an adventure 🥵

[@Motoramblings]

Fuel stolen! They were so cool about it! What a great place

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. Like it was no big deal

[@motonoob-i2d]

Love a good tire change

[@MotoMission.]

My favorite

[@contentofcharacter]

5:54 nothing like rolling up with cameras when the “old man” is trying to pee🤣

[@MotoMission.]

It happens

[@2-Wheel-Explorer]

IRC heavy duty tube especially in the front 30 psi minimum unless you like changing flats.

[@MotoMission.]

I run about 28

[@randywilliams5337]

Flats with tubes, hate them. Once I discovered BMW's tubeless tires I need went back. Plugs work just fine and safe on front or back. Ride safe.

[@MotoMission.]

Until they don’t. My BMW friends have some awful stories to tell

[@davidthomas9267]

I've ridden Duncan Ridge on a Mtn Bike years ago!!

[@MotoMission.]

Fun place.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

You weren’t in the smokies. You were in the blue ridge mountains of N Ga. I checked it out since I live here. If you ever do get in the smokies, the rod from Cades cove, parsons branch, to the tail If the dragon is (maybe it still is🤷‍♀️) kinda a secret shortcut.

[@MotoMission.]

I need to meet ya there and ride it

[@tinytim9413]

Sealing gas, not the correct tools, air pressure iffy. Hey you’re human! Love the videos!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. I’m very human.

[@raysechyder1348]

You are a thief Brock… you stole our hearts! 😂

[@MotoMission.]

Arrest me

[@sendit2873]

damn look at the tray of food man never been there to that are I live really close to the dragon in Maryville TN so I will check into that area I ride street only at the time but never know what bike you may end up with down the road

[@MotoMission.]

Food is real good there !

[@lamardurden8460]

I just watched your video. I am going to try to come to the next Smokies ride. I am looking for the video on the ride in Silverton, CO. I can't seem to find them. I rode most of the passes and gulches 2 years ago. Loved it. My videos are under Lamar Durden. Along with my videos from Silverton are videos of the Hatfield McCoy Buffalo Mtn ride in W Virginia.

[@MotoMission.]

Coming soon

[@frankiemaserati701]

Hey man nice video! Quick question, are you using hyper smooth on your front GoPro?

[@MotoMission.]

Yes I am! Thanks for watching.

[@frankiemaserati701]

@@MotoMission. thanks mate! I usually film with the stabilisation at normal on my hero 10 - I may try hypersmooth now. Does it affect battery life much?

[@drodman34]

I did that once. Got gas while driving to work and took off. Mind was elsewhere. Stopped by on my way home to pay. 😮

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. I just did it again at a different spot. What’s wrong with me. Felon

[@NorthWestMotos]

Hey at least you remembered your moto boots! Is it adventure riding if you don't get a flat tire?

[@MotoMission.]

It’s rare to have adventure without flats. :)

[@tripl3rider]

See now I had a spare tube and all the tools but if I’d been there and not finishing my brisket then the Lord couldn’t have provided a pit crew! At 24:00

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. True

[@martypowell4395]

Will the zip tie method work on the back tire also, look like it made it easier?

[@RadConSuper]

Yes…. Works on the rear tire also. Get a Tire Valve Stem Fishing Tool. Makes things a lot eaiser to get the valve steam started.

[@robertmatejka7573]

Man next time you do this give me a shout id love to ride with you guys.

[@MotoMission.]

We will announce dates soon. Make sure you are getting the emails. Motomission.com
