IDAHO BDR Episode 2

[@brendanpecht7315]

Did the Bdr in July 2019 from Nev to Bc and August 2020 the opposite direction. Both times we were fortunate the snow had melted and didn't encounter any closures. I've done Wash & OR and Idaho is by far the best one yet. Me-1090 Brother-1190

[@travisfranklin107]

This is such a badass video - thanks for taking the time to film, edit, and share! I'm looking at getting parts of the IDBDR in this year on my '19 Africa Twin and this has been pure gold in motivation.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

thanks for the kind words

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Im enjoy IDBDR trip. Iv'e enjoyed the detour routings. The 27:30 could have been a show stopper and ruined the ride. Dork in the Rode had a buddy riding to fast on his WABDR group and was carted off with a broken leg. on the second day. The group fell apart. Myself I take pride making sure everyone gets home safe and maintaining a high level of fun. The river camp I would have to had a rest day . 2 thumbs up !! Around Bend Oregon out !

[@craigsturman6661]

Blew the rear shock on my KLR on Burnt Knob. Can't wait to try it on the new Tenere 700. Great view from the top!

[@MDRoutdooradventures]

Would never sell my klr unless it's for the new one

[@elgringoec]

Great ride, and great job on the video! For some reason I like felt it when you came flying off the bike. Glad you didn't get hurt. Cheers!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks! 👍

[@James_P60]

27:40 I figured something had to happen especially when you ride fast on unknown trails, I will say it does look like a real nice ride and I’ll have to put this BDR in my would like to ride list.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yeah looking back on it, it wasnt smart. Sometimes you just get in the zone and the thrill just feeds your soul. Until you crash and it brings you back to reality haha

[@lpbonney]

Lucky that another MC group wasn't coming the other way. Fun non the less.

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for another great video. As before, the videography is first-rate. I also loved the long helmet-cam shots that let me live vicariously through your trip while I'm snowed in here in WV with PBS (parked-bike syndrome). I have only BAM and Bell's Two-Hearted Ale to console me. Thanks again!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Spring is right around the corner. I kinda of in the same boat. Cold here, but our winter has been strange this year. Not near as much snow, just cold and wet.

[@ridgetop8161]

Awesome video. Thank goodness for skid plates.

[@victorkelley5097]

Hey man, not sure if you remember me but I commented on some of your videos almost a year ago. I just want to say a huge thank you for showing me all your content. You are one of the key influences that made me decide on the AT. Got a leftover 2018 model this past November. Thanks a lot man. I've been waiting for videos like these for a while and this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@pala4833]

I've been watching IDBDR videos. You captured a bunch of adventure that I hadn't seen yet. Your detour to McCall looked beautiful. I'm going to tag it in my GaiaGPS.

[@fortheloveofknobs]

Dang! That was a hard smack! That surprise mud sometimes, I tell ya! Nice video!! Looking forward to the next one for sure!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yeah I was a good one. Looking back on it, I got lucky

[@richardkeeley6927]

Great video!! I had a fall similar to yours at 27:30 and separated my shoulder I Kept on riding, but it sure took a while to heal. Glad you were ok.... :)

[@DorkintheRoad]

Damn dude that was quite a hit. You took it like a champ and kept on riding though. Looks like amazing trip!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yeah I’m used to it haha. It was a hard one and looking back on it when editing, I got lucky.

[@colterino]

Great Fun...Nice Crew....Great Route...All Good...Thanks ! ! !

[@erik19731]

That river campsite....wow!

[@stevebennett7513]

Just discovered your channel while researching a future UTV trip on the IBDR. What an outstanding job you've done producing these first two videos of your adventure! I was actually pausing the video to work with my GPS to find locations and make waypoints for things I had seen in your trip. Definitely going to have to stay at that beach camp on the Salmon river!! Truly looking forward to seeing Part 3 of your adventure.

[@grahammerrick6916]

Great video and a taster for ideas after we do the TCAT 2023.....

By far the best and most informative BDR video out there! You have set your own bar.

Another amazing episode, what a great series to follow. The scenery is so beautiful, what a Country to side a motorcycle! Thank you for sharing!! 👍👍

[@rideoregonfirst]

Crashing can be fun,....when you didn't get hurt bad and get to tell stories about it later! Thanks for the loooong RIDE through Idaho !!

[@WayawayAdventures]

that looks like such a great time! That camp spot by the river was gorgeous.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

It really is!

[@drumsnbass]

I’m pretty sure that about 35 years ago I jumped off that bridge a few times while on a river raft trip! Hadn’t thought of that in decades!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

That’s awesome!

[@OswaltSamuel]

Good call on Elk summit, I went through there around July 21st and there was still a huge snow bank towards the top. Although the route yall took look freakin sweet! We called that forested section the "forest of doom". We hit it when it was raining, and my Dad was following me in a 2018 Tacoma...lol

[@q2candoeasy]

So many familiar sights and I'm only halfway through the video. Pretty sure I ate breakfast one morning right where you guys camped on the river. I also took the Lick Creek detour around snow on Elk Summit. Left Yellow Pine about 4:30am so half of that was done at night, which made it even more fun. I'll have to finish watching tomorrow.

[@alvarhansetun4267]

Oh dear, and a big WOW! Great stuff...

[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

It's one of the most adventurous motorcycle travel channels. The scenery of nature is so beautiful. I'm honored to be your best channel friend. Have a comfortable day. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌💯

Great video! Really enjoying these videos- I'm planning to run the IDBR so this is helpful.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Great to hear! Its a good one

[@yonathanlapidot8598]

just watched both parts back to back! holy crap one hell of a trip! looking forward for more would love to hear about cost for the whole trip..(gas, food,campsites, and anything else you can think of..) thinking about doing parts of the BDR for about two years now. shutout from far away israel:)

[@backcountryadvmoto]

The cost of the trip other than the bike and gear is very cheap. We camped the whole time except for the first and last nights and besides that all the camping was free. Food and fuel are the only real cost and that is a small expense as well. It can be done very cheap, or you can spend more, just depends on your budget, but $300 would do just about everything you need

[@yonathanlapidot8598]

[@scudrunneradv3269]

Awesome ride. I love Idaho. Wife and I aren’t far from retiring. We may spend our summers there. My nephew and I are doing the TAT this summer. When we leave Oregon and head back to NC we’re going to do a section or two of the IDBDR. Looking forward to watching the rest of your trip.

This was on our “planned rides” of 2020 but, I’m Canadian and we all know about 2020 and borders. Was hoping to hit it this year but..... 2022 may be the one. That camp spot along the river......WHAT! ♥️ You slide then bail.......”I’m ok, necks a little sore” then Braaaaaaapppp, you rip outta there 😜 Great video, thanks for sharing. If I can’t ride it in person, I can do it virtually 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻

Wow! I am watching this in 2022 and really loving what I see so far. Also sad about all that forest loss due to fire. When did that fire happen? The scenery would have been even better with all that green that's missing.

Great video. My buddy and I did the TAT this summer so we would have crossed the IDBDR somewhere south if McCall

[@HossADV]

Absolutely loving your content, especially the Idaho stuff as I'm planning to do some exploring up there at the end of July. I subscribe to a good number of KZbin ADV channels, and I have to say yours is one of the best! I really am liking the "Gear and a beer" episodes, as I'm a sucker for IPA's. I ride a 2014 Super Tenere (and No I'm not one of those folks who just keep it on pavement!) I actually like to get it dirty! I'd love to score one of those beer glasses, but I'm gonna donate just cause I love the content so much. If you ever make it down to Colorado, there's lots of incredible riding here!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks so much do all the mind words. I’m actually out of the glasses right now but have more on the way. I’ll send you out one when they come in. I’m thinking about maybe hitting CO this summer

[@HossADV]

While you're here.... what did you carry incase of a blocked track by fallen tree? A folding pruning saw was horrible. I'm thinking of some type of chainsaw rope kit? Still looking...

[@blackswanodysseys]

Shoot, you didn't show the inside of the Burnt knob lookout cabin. Also, your campfire wood, looks like it was purchased or did you bring some type of saw

[@backcountryadvmoto]

I honestly lost so much footage from this trip. Makes me kind of sick. We are actually super lucky in that every freaking place we stopped at somebody had already left wood there. Since Idaho was one of the only states open this summer during Covid there were so many people in the woods

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Also we did cut some. If you are ever looking for a compact saw, Silky Big Boy saw will cut logs fast!

[@aaronfrederick23]

What app you using on your phone for navigation? Also do you have a mic in your helmet for the go-pro?

[@pcmountaindog]

Seem like most of the vide show that the route is mostly dirt of low difficulty. The last section was very rocky but I could still handle what I ssw. I ride and 800GS. I no longer have the ability to tide the most difficult routes like the one section of Lockhart basin of the UT BDR on a 550 pound loaded bike. Are they any really difficult section that are not in your video?

[@traneman9291]

Great video! I noticed you have a trail tech . Is it easy to follow tracks with it? Can you see the track in bright light? It looks like you were using a phone to follow the trail. Where is the next big adventure?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

So it’s it’s great and easy to use in the bright sunlight. It actually quit working a couple of days I and that why I was using my phone. The charging pin on the cradle lost power and I just didn’t want to mess with it. That’s why I always have a backup mode of navigation

[@HeartsRain]

Awesome. How do you film while riding with all the engine noises without the wind noises?
