[@DirtObseXXion]

Very cool to see BMW and Zero supporting these projects! Zero gets a lot of hate from the "gatekeepers" about range, but they're out there with you guys literally proving their products. Doing these routes with the big bikes and electric bikes pretty much proves they can be done no matter what you're riding.

[@TheJvissing]

Yes Zero is out there. But still way too short a range to Even consider them.

[@traviscothre]

unless you wanna actually camp and ride unsupported like real adv people do. We don't have support trucks and hotels every night lol

[@DirtObseXXion]

@traviscothre I'm with y'all, but BDR being a non-profit needs some support to cover the production costs.. Just think it's cool that Zero steps up.. Even if there are some obvious drawbacks to electric and it isn't the experience a lot of folks want.. At least they've proved the bikes can do it, even if you're not quite off the grid..

[@traviscothre]

@@DirtObseXXion as much advertising as they do for bmw you'd think they're sponsored. also plenty of people on the youtubes put together adv moto movies without all the "overhead" and "production costs" I'm always a little skeptical of how "non-profit" these orgs are. I appreciate the routes but the movies have always been a little inauthentic to me. Maybe cuz I'm more of a dirtbag adv'r or a different generation.

Between Downieville and Sierra City there is a USFS road that runs north through Poker Flat and ends in Quincy south of Lake Almanor. The area is known as The Lost Sierra. In the early 1980s that was my main riding area (1981 XL500). I now live on the US/CA border in North Central WA (also awesome riding) (I now ride a 2023 Norden 901 Expedition), but that Lost Sierra area is some of the best adventure riding I've ever done in my 40+ years of riding. There are literally dozens of routes in there. I got married in Downieville.

[@burddog0792]

They said the rad was punctured on one and the other looks like probably rear master cyl. on the other. Both are simple protection bits any adventure bike should get. Maybe the guy who forgot a master link was in charge of group bike prep? 😄

[@ronwest90277]

I would not hesitate to purchase another KTM/Husky. I love my 701 for BDR's. Kris (in the film) assisted with the scouting and bikes we scout on get punished with a lot of hard miles. The engine failure on my 701 was precipitated by a 400+mile high speed run down the I5 freeway in temps above 100 after scouting an issue at the far North end of the route. The bike over-heated, was diagnosed as a blown head gasket, but unknowingly damaged the water pump seal that unfortunately failed causing radiator fluid to instantly fill the crankcase and the engine just went.

It looks like a challenging BDR. It took out 2 riders, and, what, 3 bikes. I'm impressed with those big rhinos (BMWs). The KTMs always seem to have problems... This video makes the Zero look problem free and perfectly capable, but I don't quite believe it for some reason; I think they probably sugar coated the electric experience. Thanks for the video, and hope to see more BDRs!

[@burddog0792]

The one problem was a punctured rad and they didn't say what the other was. Seemed like maybe the rear brake cylinder or a hose got wrecked. I wish they'd show what happened. Don't skimp out on those protection bits...or be an idiot and not check your tool kit for a master link and then try to safety wire a chain together. The thing about electros is they are actually more simple and reliable than an ICE, but the range and weight (well, it's about the weight of those big stuuupid heavy GS' with massive boxes) are killers. They definitely sugar coated it some (sponsored), at least it's not like Black Hills BDR-X film which is half commercial.

[@D.E.X]

I always carry about a ten link section of chain (the leftovers of the new chain), about five master links, a breaker. I use the rivet type master links, I hate the clip type, though they will get you out of the woods. I kind of wonder why RideBDR doesn't carry a trauma kit for sale on their site. The kits you can buy on line are usually strong on bandaids and tweezers and short on splints, tourniquets, and clotting agents. It would be nice if they could get a company that does those types of kits to make a motorcycle backcountry kit, designed for a BDR type trip. That way it would be small, tailored for the need, without silly things like aspirin (You don't give head trauma victims a blood thinner!) but with the things necessary to keep them alive, until help arrives and to reduce injury after the initial injury. I get that some things in a trauma kit have a best use by date, but if you partner with a company, the kits won't have to sit on a shelf and expire. Just a thought. Or even just an advert on your page for a recommended kit that has what you need, not a bunch of junk.

At least half of your crew should be local riders without a corporate agenda to push “big bikes” for BMW. Electric bikes from Zero.
