Ride Till I Can't: Trans-America Trail Episode 3

[@PisgahGravelProject]

Mountain View Motorcycle Campground is great. Mark and Janine are awesome. I am local to the area and am lucky to have a place like that so close. Tons of great riding up there, much of it is off the beaten path.

Hi! What abrasion layer are you wearing over the Tech-Air Off-Road? I currently have the AS Super Shirt as well, and I am hoping with the pads out it might be stretchy enough to wear over the Tech-Air Off-Road. Thank you for all the videos!

[@MeerkatADV]

@porkshank13 the super shirt would work as an abrasion layer. Most of the time I'm honestly just wearing a jersey. It's been too hot to add another layer over the airbag.

[@porkshank13]

@@MeerkatADV I hear ya. I am a wimp when it comes to the heat so that is my main concern with the Tech-Air Off-Road. For the BDR's and TAT I am guessing I would wind up doing the same thing. I might consider the Rev'it Sierra jersey as a compromise which I also own. At least it is a CE A rating. Thanks for the response!

17:49 Killboy Corner,, pretty sure this is the corner I popped my right clavicle tendon on. Same direction, backing in a modded DRZ SM, yes uphill, while getting my dig on. Those were the times,, must've been 2010ish. Cruisers were just finding the place. Pre-Killboy spot and during the expansion of the 'resort'.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is closed for paving and bears (no shit, look it up, visitor interactions were too frequent?) therefore many gravel connections are too. Local pissed right here (about the closures happy for repaving.)Cheers,ed

I’m from Asheville and dealt with this all the time. They don’t open till about May or so. Mainly due to washout.

Hi Brady, love your videos. Just curious, are you wearing the air bag vest under your adv spec top layer? If so i guess it fits comfortably under?

[@MeerkatADV]

Yes, it's not really meant to be worn over anything.

[@DirtbikeXpeditions]

Which gps tracks are you using?

[@MeerkatADV]

@@DirtbikeXpeditions the official TAT tracks.

[@caccia4]

⁠@@MeerkatADV We had Sam and GPS Kevin tracks and used them both to get it done. It was a bit of a mess in the east, but it was an adventure nonetheless.

[@RandomParrot]

Did you just gain 2k subs in the last 24hrs?

[@MeerkatADV]

@@RandomParrot nope, I've picked up about 40 this week.

[@Howard-p8z]

The majority of the video does not have music.
