Pt:2 First Ride | A TW200 Adventure | Another Superiorland season comes to an end

Howdy! fellow adventurers, it feels like 5 minutes ago, I was returning home to bare trees ans late spring snow flurries. Do I feel like I got a years worth of living into 6 months? Not really...but I never do. I can honestly say I tried. We left some unexplored places for next summer in Superiorland--which will be here in 5 more minutes.

I can't wait for the Beagle Barge Beagle Adventure to start!

[@MrSheymie]

Yes, so much of the best in life is free. Fresh air, blue sky, sun, nature, clours, birds and bird song, trees and summer leaves. All free to be enjoyed. That's real life.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Nailed it ^^^ ;)

[@CanoeRd1]

Great video Brenton. This is exactly why I subscribed and always look forward to your videos. The wandering videos like this are the best. Life in the slow lane. Thanks so much.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

I always appreciate your kind words of encouragement. Thank you for doing so. The best is yet to come ;) stay tuned!

[@joshwesaw]

Very cool trip!!! Can’t wait for the beagle barge adventure!!

[@whitey432able]

Wow........ Incredible....... You An Martin Have Been A Huge Inspiration To Me, As I Ride Into My Retirement.... Y'all Are The Best.... Until Next Time... Thanks Again Whitey.....

[@jimsteele7108]

Yeah, I’m getting a little jealous of that little tw. Glad it’s working out well for you.

[@dwightsmith4641]

It was a dark and stormy night was 1830 book Paul Clifford by Bulwer-Lytton. It is about a French Revolution highwayman (ie-robber) who gets sentenced to death by a judge that he learns is actually his father. You should get Joe Rader and attend the Forgotten Angel camp out near Tampa Florida at the end of October.

[@MD0100]

Short and sweet, the summers never last long enough up there

[@phillippmorris4109]

Hell from the quiet sunny Ozarks Brenton! Another video of value! Hope your well and enjoying your day and fresh apples! Cant beat those old railroad tracks path. Thankful the state made them available for us to enjoy. Enjoyed spending a few minutes with you on your journey adventures! Tight lines and bent poles!

[@phillippmorris4109]

Hello

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@@phillippmorris4109 howdy Phillipp ;)

[@RutherfordTony]

The trails are so peaceful and laid back. I would spend my time on those. I would pick a lot of apples and other fruit and can them for the winter. We do that here in Kentucky. Nothing like freebies. The snow and cold wind will soon be arriving. Safe travels.

[@Bill.Hicks.51]

First like!! Thanks, Brenton!

[@markszawlowski867]

What a glorious adventure man. So good. And that train just doin' its thing.

[@jbrat1967]

I’m jealous…. Very well done. Ty

[@scable-eq7bp]

Very cool episode, great content, seems like a person could camp out on those dirt roads all summer .

[@backwatersandbackroads]

I think so too. Just living on the dirt 2 tracks for weeks at a time. The roads version of the riverways

[@IntheBlood67]

I would think there were deer trails galore among those apple orchards!

[@johnstephens5227]

Nice road trip, I too love those old rail road routes. I have a 2019 tw200, looking forward to the loop trip.

[@davelawrence6777]

Seeing those road side tables hardens me back to road trips with my parents. Back then all major highways had the. M mother would pack elaborate lunches sandwiches side dishes fresh fruit and the I'll make the Obicuous Kool aide to drink and thats the way we traveled all over the eastern states

[@backwatersandbackroads]

That's what families did back in the day Dave. We're losing or have already lost almost every quality of the good life there was. Don't get me started...as I often say ;)

[@dabprod]

Great looking country.

[@doncollins786]

Ride safe!

[@davidphelps7763]

When you got into the second orchard my thoughts were frying a couple of pork chops with capers and sautéing those apples down and making some soda bread.. Great adventure.. I went through a very rough period and my Parsons terrier was my constant companion.. I love Wavey is your adventure buddy..

[@backwatersandbackroads]

She's been with me almost every day for 7+ years. The only time I've left her is when I go to Isle Royale (no dogs allowed) a good dog is a life saver. I'd rather have her as a companion than a modern women anyway. Wavey is always up for an adventure;)

[@Sigma5882]

Enjoying your tour on my phone. A couple of months ago I was seriously looking at a used TW200. I'd ridden one before in early 90s, provided by my boss for work errands... really loved it.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

I've spotted a couple for sale here that are surprisingly good deals. This would be the time to buy one. I'm really liking mine.

[@gangsterghost7200]

Hi friend hope you having fun and safe day

[@wmason1961]

I'm glad to see you reading or rereading Mark Twain. If you like Mark Twain, you'll love hannibal Mo. They name everything after him.

[@tomcop668]

I bet there are abandoned apple orchards along that trail. Coincidently I was eating an apple I bought at a local stand as I was watching this. I'm looking forward to your upcoming adventure. I'm going to buy you a Bud Light sometime. lol

[@backwatersandbackroads]

You better not Tom! You crack me up :)

[@michaelmcshane6280]

I love your idea of a road system fore low horsepower motorcycles and scooters. I would use them as much as possible. Great video, thanks for posting.

[@user-we7ii6zx9t]

Just watched the video Brenton! It was great! We got a preview in front of the campfire in Sunset Bay! ( nice to put the visuals with the stories)! I'm missing Superiorland myself. Carry on

[@ub_tv3745]

Thanks for another season of Superiorland, always enjoy those trips! Looking forward to the next adventure. Going to binge watch the first adventure this week to get ready!

[@gt2745]

This was a great video, Brenton. Safe travels!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Thank you ;) stay tuned...

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

I can’t do this anymore but you brought back memories of all the solo trips I made all across this country on my bike 150,000 on my last bike wish I could have captured all of it someway except in my mind at least you bring back the memories. Nice ride looking forward to the barge adventures. Give Wavey a good good pat on the head for me. God Bless fm Mack in SC

[@96HC12]

What a great video B! I love your two wheel adventures. Thanks for all your efforts and sharing these. How fun.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Thanks for coming along. Please stick around...taking a scooter on the barge trip for side adventures ;)

[@jimsteele7108]

A dual sport is great if you don’t like to fight the wind and the traffic

[@jasonalvey3194]

Great way to wrap up the season. The water is calling! Been waiting for the barge trip. You and Wavey be safe and God bless.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Coming up. Stay tuned...;)

[@jaredcolahan759]

good video

[@wmason1961]

The apple tree by the side of the road reminded me of the sixth grade. I lived in Algonac, Michigan. The schoolbus driver used to stop at the edge of the road so the apples came in through the schoolbus windows. It was late on the route, so there were only 4 or five kids onboard.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

That is too cool! What happened to America?

[@wmason1961]

@backwatersandbackroads "What happened to America?" We got too comfortable and forgot to stay vigilant. We allowed one side of the political spectrum to monopolize the universities. Churning out millions of little antifa style stormtroopers annually. My generation (I am a little older than you) failed to properly educate the generation that intends to flush freedom. Sorry about that.

[@steverichmond9157]

What's worse than finding a worm in an apple? A half a worm!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Protein! ;)

[@randomislandnorm3043]

Old rail beds are the best! We got one going right across Newfoundland. Lots of people with side by sides and atvs use the "track" to go on adventures and whatnot. It's a shame that Canada took away our railway though. The Tw 200 is probably my favorite dual purpose bike. Loves the fat ol' tires on it. Might get one in the future.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

They're almost the do anything bike. Not fast...but will go anywhere.

[@mikespeaks6038]

Dude you have so much better places to ride than I do here in Kentucky.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

The UP is dual sport paradise ;)

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

great adventure. loved the apples!

[@GregoryMueller-ss2qv]

Great snowmobile trails to 😊

[@chrisdargontina1047]

Great trip! Those TW’s are fun bikes for sure. A person doesn’t need a big fancy adventure bike to get out and have some fun. Packed on plenty of miles too!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

The Swiss army knife of motorcycles buddy ;)

[@bamahomestead6323]

Love this!!!

[@user-ub9th6mf9t]

Cedervill looks like a cool little town

[@prestongilbert4199]

Another A+

[@mikespeaks6038]

I'm impressed. Great videos

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Thanks man. Please stick around.

[@frank_III]

Brenton, found your channel 3 weeks ago, binge watching multiple videos a day. We have a cottage in Mackinaw City we plan to retire to. We were camping at Grand Marias, Ogebic, Mears State Park and the Porcupine State park about the same time of this video. Spent some time in Ontonogen. Had the best Pastie in the UP at Syl's. Wouls like ro meet you some time and buy you a Two Harted..

[@backwatersandbackroads]

That would be great;) I'll be home in Superiorland by July.

[@thomaskitz1185]

so awesome your vidios n your adventures !

Saw one for sale last weekend only a few mikes from my house. $3500 and I had to pass. I'm gonna keep my '67 Honda S65 that I bought for $750.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

I saw a 2013 for sale here goe 2500. That's cheap for a TW!

[@Mary-yu3sn]

You hear from your friend Scotty i think that is his name.. funny ride!!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Scotty for deleted off YT for talking about the coming tyranny. He started a new channel I saw. Scotty moves on from folks. I don't take it personally. We had fun while it lasted. Glad you're still here Mary. Good stuff ahead.

[@treesnshrubs]

Good video could you please expand on the coming tyranny you spoke of?

[@slav1north764]

I just ordered a 2024 Tw. Retiring to presque Isle county soon. Spent alot of time in Newberry area ( pine stump jct.) Sold my Klr 650 a few years back and cant wait to ride again.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

That's awesome! I'm loving my TW200. When you say Presque Isle County, that's Wisconsin?

[@slav1north764]

Tip of the mitt in lower michigan. Between Cheboygan and Roger's city. Best trail systems south of the bridge😊

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@@slav1north764 awesome. Thank you!

[@bensmith4563]

I find that the random apple trees with little apple taste best but little apples are annoying because i need to eat half a dozen of the things

[@toddcunningham2410]

Such a relaxing video to watch this evening. That maintained trail system was awesome. Looking forward to the next adventure with the Beagle Barge. It was your shanty boat down the Mississippi that made me find your page a few years ago, and I’ve enjoyed it ever since. How long from when you film your trips to when you release them? Few weeks or a month? Just trying to get a time line with the weather & seasons.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Usually once an adventure is going, I turn the footage into a video within a week, two weeks at most. I'm going to try to put out 2 quality vidoes a week this fall and winter

[@toddcunningham2410]

Thank you for answering. I love the content and the rawness of it. You make it real and like we are right there with you. Not over edited or produced. Just honest and at times we see the surprise on your face as you experience something for the first time. Like the trails system or apples. You were expecting the small apples to not taste as good and you were surprised.

[@chrisgeer9221]

I ate an apple from that same tree today while on a ride. Really enjoyed the video.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Hi Chris. You know that tree? ;) would you happen to know the story of the concrete building? We'll have to ride those trails next summer. Love the TW200

[@chrisgeer9221]

@backwatersandbackroads the building was part of a farm at one time. That area was all farm land before most of the ground was stripped of topsoil and sent to St. Ignace. At the corner just N of there used to be the old train station of what used to be Allenville. Theres tons of apple trees around here and most are really good, funny part is there are no actual orchards anywhere close. If you make it back over sometime I can show you around. Another neat place would be the trip over to drummond island.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@chrisgeer9221 drummond island is on my short list. I wanted to go this fall, but ran out of time. Yes! Next summer. Please stick around, a lot of adventures coming.

[@jonny6758]

Yo brother the slow lane for sure where it's at I agree if America had a backroad lane for those bikes at a slower speed that would be amazing

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Oh man, if live on it! ;) the TAT in the future

[@user-ub9th6mf9t]

I would be in ueaven to live close stuff like that

[@josephrobichaud5198]

You and I would get along great and we could share some great stories. I used to live on a 37' Pembroke Sport Fisherman that bought for $10.00 and spent a whole year restoring it. I've sailed a one off 40' Rhodes sailboat from VA to Fl and back. Lived in a camping trailer 10' from the Chesapeake Bay. I used to own a CT125 and drove that thing everywhere. I also used to race snowmobiles for the Artic Cat for 4 years.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

You are an adventurer! ;) we could definitely share stories

[@josephrobichaud5198]

I even had a mutt I got from the pound that was by my side everywhere I went for 13 great years.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@@josephrobichaud5198 Wavey goes everywhere with me. I'm the host, she's the star ;)

[@josephrobichaud5198]

You make a great team! My dog was found chained to a tree, left behind when the people had moved, with puppys, and no food or water.

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@@josephrobichaud5198 that's horrible. I need to (finally) tell the story of how I got Wavey. Not too far off from yours

[@robertthompson9455]

No, not a railroad bed. The rolls I'm seeing on your video are too long to be cross ties.Your road there was once a corduroy road. Tree saplings laid down side by side then dirt placed over them...

[@bokendrick6553]

The word Freedom just doesn't seem to fit the politics of that area. Those knobby tires don't last very long. Try the Enduro style tread. Hello from Dixie!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

I'll be getting some true dual sport tread next rubber upgrade. You're right, these won't last long. Politics: the UP shouldn't even be "Michigan." It's Superiorland. I'm not the only one that thinks so. Hardly nothing in common with below the bridge.

[@davidphelps7763]

Not related but I finally sent some money for Wavy snacks…

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Thank you! Sending note via PayPal

[@jonny6758]

Would ya reccomend this bike deciding between this and a honda ruckus what would you decide with thanks

[@backwatersandbackroads]

Hi Jonny, ultimately it would be a hard choice for me, because have their uses. I'm keeping both, but if I could only keep one...it would be the TW200. Overall, it's probably the most vsrsital bike anyone could own, if they don't mind moving slow (which I don't) ;)

[@jonny6758]

@backwatersandbackroads I did have a dr200 years ago lil smaller wheel base then the tw and I've heard the tw performs better then the Dr, I had my dr200 up to like 65 mph before it was still zippy but I might like the tdub who knows thanks

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@jonny6758 I had a DR200se also. Great little bikes, probably better overall than the TW unless you spend a lot of time in dirt and sand

[@jonny6758]
