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.

I love how mad so many people are in the comments about the electric motorcycle. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, most of us never will. We all know they aren’t really that great for the environment, but guess what some people like them. Also most of us can’t afford a $20,000+ motorcycle. I will try it with my $500 1991 Honda xr250L. Hats off to all of the riders who completed the trip, especially on those heavy whales of motorcycles that kept tipping over and they kept picking them up and going. Great video with highlights for us to look forward to when we try it ourselves.

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.

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.

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.

Because they have to show it can be done. You know others are going to take those bikes, it would obviously be easier on a dirtbike, but you have to prove it can be ridden on a 1200GS with full luggage.

Really love seeing Sterling Noren on here. That dude is a Gem and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He is true salt of the earth and just loves to ride. These BDR films are usually kind of cringe and filled with too many personalities from different companies trying to represent their brand. Like this guy on the Zero. 120 mile range? What a joke. That only works when you have a big publication like this with planned stopped and an extraction team one phone call away. The common man could not make the BDR on a zero.

Most of the BDR's have been completed by people on electric bikes. This was the first time the filming expedition used one, not the first time they've been used on a BDR.

Man, y'all need to check weather and plan these rides in the best part of the year. I have done washington and idaho BDR's several times each. Only had 1 day if extremely light rain. Thats it. The rest of every single day i have ever ridden a BDR, it eas sunny and warm. Maybe i should go next time and bring some of my luck with.

Definitely could have used your "Luck" on this route! The original filming was scheduled for the end of June but because of record snow fall was pushed back to July, but there was still too much snow. The earliest we could get the entire filming crew and guests together was end of September. As it turned out we had one day of snow and rain, the remainder of the trip was perfect riding weather.

Seems like a knobby-only route...as a first time BDR rider, am I wise to invest in knobbies (vs Trailmax Mission) for this one?

I'm doing this BDR later this year and I'm switching to Motoz RallZ rear and DualVenture front. I definitely want something more dirt oriented for this trip.

The zero bikes are cool, I am not there with electric vehicles yet. I think the battery technology needs to catch up (solid state battery) but it’s nice seeing options out there for those who don’t mind the charge…..

What is the Alpinestars Jacket Ron is wearing? Looks great.

The Bogota Pro! Check it out. The most comfortable jacket I've ridden in. Huge vents for when it gets hot and an insulated and waterproof liner that is cut large enough to be worn over the jacket. I think this jacket runs a bit small (more of a European cut) if you plan riding in the liner or say another layer under for additional warmth. I sized up to a Large. Seriously so comfy you will forget you are wearing a jacket at all.

To prove it can be done. Somebody is gonna try to do this route on a brand new monster bike with way too much luggage and minimal skills. They want to make sure you get an accurate representation of what that would be like if you tried it.

Although I appreciate the massive development efforts the pandering to corporations is getting thin. It’s getting a real “exclusive” feel to these routes and how they are presented. Don’t forget the beginner or intermediate riders with basic bikes who deserve the opportunity to do these to the fullest without having to feel inferior or incapable of enjoying it. This film actually makes me not want to ride it. “All killer and no filler”? No thanks. Not my idea of a BDR.

Your front brakes are 75% of your braking force, on or off road and you can brake much more than you typically think. Please get some training before taking on an off road route such as this.
