Nice riding on the DR. Me and a buddy did a portion of the Oregon BDR, the sand is no joke especially and whoops made it even more challenging. Beautiful riding, thanks for sharing.

[@jrdepew]

Having not done the southeastern desert sections, I can say that the ORBDR has fantastic scenery and variety of riding.

[@davea9502]

So glad to see the DR650 again! It’s my favorite bike featured. Cheers!

[@jrdepew]

Nostalgic about this bike. Don’t think I could sell it.

[@davea9502]

@@jrdepew I have watched your DR650 series of videos several times and am starting again! Appreciate the work you put into the videos

[@TillDeathDualUsSport]

Good to see you riding solo without the pressure of being in a group! This is the way. Cheers!

[@jrdepew]

I do like solo quite a bit.

[@wokinit]

Thanks for sharing JR.

[@jrdepew]

So good to hear from you. IDBDR, right?

[@rickreasoner8664]

Body-Wipes instead of using precious water. Thanks for taking us along.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

Nice content. This looks like a trip you did previously?!? I love the Oregon bush country. Didn’t know what I was missing until I did the ORBDR. Fantastic country. As a gent who’s turning 60 this year, I love your attitude and advice. Keep doing what you’re doing sir. ~ GrizzLee

[@jrdepew]

Sharp eye GRIZZLee! Need some new material but winter is interfering. Lot of new subscribers who probably haven’t seen the material so I re-used the raw material.

[@RubiKonAdventures]

@@jrdepewoh no worries. I was thinking how jealous I am, as I haven’t been able to get back… and I live north of Seattle. Can’t wait to see the new bike in action. Cheers mate ~Grizz

[@jakesherman2285]

Glad your back!!!!

[@jrdepew]

Thanks. Cold weather hampering new rides!

[@jonwoodworker]

Any content on a DR is good content. Bike is looking great. Looking forward to seeing your trip.

[@jrdepew]

It is a great bike and I"m looking forward to riding it more but then there is the Tuareg waiting it"s turn!

[@robertclark499]

Are you riding the Holy Smokies this year with Brock I hope so I will be there been looking forward to riding with you if possible stay safe brother

[@krob-sn7ek]

Awesome stuff JR !! Good riding and adventuring, it does keep u young... Thanks and safe travels sir !!

[@YBBOring]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome adventure Sir

[@jrdepew]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@advredbikes]

Thanks for sharing Joe. Awesome trip. Glad you did not go too far into those caves. Looks a little scary. Glad you found that great campground ,ride well ride safe.

[@jrdepew]

Big Lake, OR is a nice public campground. Can get noisy at times.

[@SteelHorseman]

Awesome my brother!!

[@jrdepew]

Appreciate you!

[@alainmaurice5383]

Thaks a lot. I like your aventure alone with your DR 650.

[@jrdepew]

Thanks.

[@OlsonADV]

Another great video JR. Keep them coming.

[@jrdepew]

Need spring to come quicker!

[@OlsonADV]

@ yes sir! I have several rides planned for the North Georgia mountains.

[@Nathaniel7420]

Excellent. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Now I'm definitely not taking my 500 lb+ V85TT on those sandy, rocky stretches. I found myself saying "nope" more than once.

[@jrdepew]

Would make a great story though!

[@Nathaniel7420]

@jrdepew Sure would.

[@Hogdriver88]

Great adventure JR. What’s with the gas canister over the campfire at the end?! 😂

[@n164bj]

The electric start only has been a concern with my drz400. I went to the bigger battery this spring so hopefully that helps. I like your jump pack idea too. And maybe camp on top of a hill. Always enjoy you videos.

[@jrdepew]

I always carry a jump pack. Thanks for watching.

[@unoteb]

Great as always J.R. Thank you! Did IDBDR last summer. Plan on Utah or New Mex this summer

[@jrdepew]

New Mexico BDR is on my list too. Plan to be in Wyoming end of August. Good to have plans.

[@timlaforce5925]

Welcome back to the northwest Depew!

[@jrdepew]

Thanks. Hope to do more out there in 2025.

[@adampatterson707]

Thank you JR

[@jrdepew]

Thanks for watching!

[@crjmoto]

Sitting here in the middle of a CO winter, it's hard to fathom we'll all be out exploring again in a month or two.

[@jrdepew]

I can't wait, right?

[@jonasrice9129]

JR do you have a favorite between the DR650 and the Yamaha WR? I have a DR but considering a WR. I realize that on longer trips out West the DR is probably the better bike. If you had to pick one which would it be? Love your content and keep the adventures coming!

[@jrdepew]

Really a hard one. I would prefer the WR if I was solo and had little or no highway to travel. Lighter bike. If I could only have one I would stick with the DR.

[@robertclark499]

By the way the DR is looking and sounding strong

[@jrdepew]

Its a reliable beast!

[@johndavis2399]

Carburetors are preferred when the battery is dead 😑

[@kellyyon-x7p]

Wow, never thought of that!

[@paulgoss7596]

Deja Vu? Is this a compilation of older OR BDR videos?

[@jrdepew]

Yes it is. Sharp eye!

[@sjackson99]

I live in Oregon and I'm really confused with this video. You mentioned BDR sec 5 and started in the Cache Mtn area. You rode SE to Bend and then South to Palina Peak then North to Sunriver and finished on Cache Mtn. Was this video just edited out of order or was that your planned route? Do you still have the Yamaha?

[@jrdepew]

Big Lake, BDR South to Sisters . Hiway to Bend..went southeast over Pine Mountain and south of Paulina camped. Then returning north around Paulina into Sunriver on to BDR , then pavement back to Big Lake , a big loop. Then a day ride up Cache mountain and back to Big Lake.

[@sjackson99]

@@jrdepew Got it. I thought you were on back roads most of the time. Thanks.

[@terrywest5735]

I'm just not a fan of the Lithium batteries.

[@jrdepew]

This one had some age on it but they are susceptible to the cold among other things.

[@wrongwayro]

Water wipes! 99.99% water.

[@jrdepew]

Yeah!
