Rider Down: Crashing On The Washington Backcountry Discovery Route

[@twowheelzen9419]

Hello from Michigan brother!! I hope you are doing well, I really enjoy your videos and you seem like a very down-to-earth and good person. I like the Bible verses at the end of your videos as well. Do you sell T-shirts?? If you are ever in michigan, please look me up. Jack

[@MotoMission.]

Hey. Super thankful Every dollar helps right now. Wow. So cool of you. I have t shirts and other stuff www.motomission.com/store

[@searlearnold2867]

Tough ride Dan, glad he was able to ride it back to town. As for Sasquatch, I grew up in BC, heard the stories, saw and heard things while off roading, camping, fishing/hunting that I can't explain or hardly believe myself and I can't tell you if they're real or not. I think its' better off hidden from us and we leave them alone.

[@MotoMission.]

If you see one please take a picture. But I understand that they are blurry creatures. :)

[@tinytim9413]

Great video! What views! Ride on my friend. I'll be watching 👀

[@MotoMission.]

Thanks for joining the community here.

[@Kevimoto]

Dan is a trooper. I hope he's healing up OK. That can happen to the best of us. You just never know.

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. We are all learning out there. Making our adventures safer as we learn lessons like this.

[@stryker3203]

Love the content. Like it’s been said in here this channel deserves at least 500k subscribers. Appreciate the hard work it takes to put the co tent out. We need more motorcycles and Jesus. Great collaboration with bikes and beards.

[@MotoMission.]

Much appreciated! KZbin growth is slow. But I am so thankful for the ones who watch my videos each week. Watching to the end helps the algorithm favor me. You keep watching and we will see the channel grow. It’s a fun new challenge for me.

[@rustyspiker3569]

Great trip, You will be happy to know I rode my recliner thru the entire trip and didn’t crash once! I did feel Dan’s pain though but I sucked it up and made it thru. Only 7 more days until ??? Something big!! Yea!! Take care my utube riding friend!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Recliner rider

[@rustyspiker3569]

Now my Tiger is upset with me because I called him a recliner. Threatened not to start! I going to have to refrain from making comments on your posts! I get into trouble!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha

[@wch1954]

You are the best Motorcycle rider I've ever seen

[@MotoMission.]

You are too kind.

[@ChooseBrian]

“headache trees”® glad your bud was okay. One day we will ride together brother. Great video Brock.

[@MotoMission.]

Yes please! Let’s ride

[@martincyr7259]

Congratulations! An other BDR completed for you. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure once again with us. Your videos are outstanding! You sure are a great ambassador for these BDR's. Good job Brock!👍

[@MotoMission.]

Thank you very much!

[@wmbushUT]

what was that restaurant you ate at in the end!!? tacos looked amazing!!

[@danielsande]

Gorges Beer Company. It was fantastic.

[@charliepatterson9321]

I took a lady friend swimming in the gulf of Mexico today and after we swam we went to a beachside shower station . My lady friend went to use the portapotty after her shower and while i was waiting for her some kids came to shower . I heard something i never heard before and it instantly made me think of you . I wasn't watching yet i could hear what was being said . Out of nowhere i heard a little girl exclaim ,....HOLY BROC AND CHEESE . I'm adding that to my list of favorite expletives . Wishing you and Auny the best and hope Dan has a speedy recovery . Beignet done that , HOLY BROC AND CHEESE 😂

[@MotoMission.]

Haha.

[@kellyyon-x7p]

Washington seems to be one of the most scenic states according to the U tube videos I’ve seen. That small blue stream was unbelievable !

[@MotoMission.]

Yes yes !!!! So nice.

[@pambaker5254]

Great video! Loved the waterfall.

[@MotoMission.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@haminlee]

Is that you riding on the bridge at 17:54, Brock? Sweet coordination. That ain’t easy to do, for sure! Love the reveal at ~17:17. “Somebody help me!” The best response to that vista. Love the vid. Blessings!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Hey buddy. Thanks for enjoying my hard work. Its comments like these that motivate me to work hard to get the shots and make the edits !

[@richardearp8577]

Cool 😎

[@Michael-qo8bs]

Yeah big foot lives!! This is the carolina yeti...6'9 295 lb...rides a klr650!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. I need to meet him. Arrange a meeting for me.

[@ridgetop8161]

When my wife was first learning to ride it was during the spring in the Sierras surrounded by Bumble Bees in the Deer Brush flowers. I told her that no matter how much a bee stung her, no matter how much it hurt. Hands on bars and controlled breaking until you can get the helmet or jacket or whatever off to remove the bee/hornet. Screaming is allowed. :)

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. This has happened to me more than once. Hurts everytime. Getting used to it. Ha

[@robglassgold]

Good episode, Brock! No Pads in Dan's pants? ATGATT!

[@danielsande]

Yep. Lesson learned.

[@MotoMission.]

Knee pads are as important as a helmet for me.

[@bluezhawg2104]

This segment was special for me ! I used to drive log trucks and ride motorcycles all over that area for more than 30 years. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@MotoMission.]

Nice area. Thanks for watching

[@lukefish7562]

Dang boys! Happy the Lord keep y’all safe from any serious injuries. ATGATT (which isn’t easy or fun in the hot summer) 💪🏽 🙏🏽 🏍️💨

[@MotoMission.]

You got that right. Ouch

[@bobholley6202]

Glad ole Dan is OK. Hate to see that. Makes me thankful for how lucky I’ve been over the years. Be headed to Tellico Plains this Friday for a little adventure of my own. Y’all stay safe out there. Can’t wait for the next one. And Big Foot is real! Well maybe…possibly…probably not…

[@MotoMission.]

That made me laugh

[@jrdepew]

Great video. Lessons on every ride.

[@MotoMission.]

You got that right! People are seeing how important proper knee guards are

[@LiveWayOut]

That campground is rad, I stayed there a couple times myself

[@MotoMission.]

What a cool little city too !

[@Glidedon]

Big Brother is more worrisome. Thanks for the videos ! MC boots and Knee braces !

[@MotoMission.]

Exactly ! I wear Mx boots and legit shin and knee guards

[@bradwelch4076]

Man oh man Dan the Man!! So glad ya'll survived the attack of the killer bees!! Dan, I pray ya heal up quickly. Boy I sure know what it's like to break a foot first day out. I couldn't imagine how destroyed my foot would have been if I didn't have my tech 7s on. Be safe, God bless

[@Motoramblings]

Random little waterfalls, you know you’re on a great ride!!!

[@Motoramblings]

What is it with you and bees??

[@Motoramblings]

Dan! Swollen knee, swollen eye, and still cracking jokes!

[@Motoramblings]

Bigfoot, hide and seek champion of the world!

[@Motoramblings]

Happy to hear Dan didn’t have any broken bones!!!

[@dave32173]

great episode! sorry about Dan though hope hes all good now. not sure how i missed you on that one? i live 30 minutes from bridge of the Gods and I ride those areas of the WABDR all the time on my GSA. if it was in September im in Reno on my Harley every year. Ride safe Brock and God Bless.

[@MotoMission.]

Ahhhhh. We were so close. Would have been cool to hang out. Next time. I love riding my Harley also. I have a road glide.

[@ianferrier235]

Sorry Brock no bigfoot 🙁another entertaining video, to bad for your new friend, get well man.

[@MotoMission.]

All good. Lessons learned.

[@onasledoverland]

They just opened the Northern California BDR. 😊

[@MotoMission.]

I must do it soon!

[@bakerbill4274]

Curious about Dan's offroad experience. Grabbing that right lever is a street reflex.

[@danielsande]

It was a pretty dumb mistake. Every rider knows better, but that all goes out the window with pain. I distinctly remember being really mad at myself as I laid in the dirt doing my self-assessment.

[@danielsande]

And my experience is almost exclusively offroad. Been riding dirt since I was a kid. I know better. But that changes nothing.😅 Glad to still be riding.

[@timothybroga1704]

No front ABS on the 890

[@danielsande]

@@timothybroga1704 if there was, it sure didn't help.

[@suzyamerica4679]

Been watching lots and lots of BDR videos .. hoping to try parts of the Idaho ride this year .. and it looks as if bigger/heavier bikes are a distinct liability.

[@curvefeeler]

Bigfoot lays the lowest, but mos def out there. Grip it and rip it BG! Much love.

[@MotoMission.]

Ripping !

[@dizzydog4321]

I think I saw a Bigfoot on a KTM in the video 😂

[@danielsande]

You can tell the difference because I have more body hair than Bigfoot...

[@MotoMission.]

Haha.

[@GooseADV]

Hope Dan is on the mend!! And I'm betting too you won't run into 'ol bigfoot out there! Keep up the videos Brock and let me know when you come to SC - lets ride!

[@MotoMission.]

South Carolina ! I rode the scar last year and had a blast.

[@GooseADV]

@@MotoMission. I watched those videos, one in particular where you had to bypass mud through the woods! I'm thinking about the Smoky Mountain 500 soon - how'd you like that compared to the SCAR?

[@MotoMission.]

My fav ride in the east is the sm500. Do it! Epic

[@RockyDeanda-w6m]

Head to the hotel, jacuzzi, kick back!!! 😊

[@MotoMission.]

Sometimes adventure requires a hot tub and a hot shower

[@ExeterCenturion]

Awesome video. Subscribed. What chin mount are you using?

[@MotoMission.]

I’ve used Chin Mount and also dango

[@dirtpirateracing1629]

I hope Dan recovered quickly! I likely would have done the same as him when getting stung. Seems like a wonderful guy! Washington looks amazing! The dense tall trees, waterfalls and streams. I am in constant wonderment at the truly beautiful creations there are to see in this world! Thank you again and again for sharing!!

[@danielsande]

Man. I think that bee hit a nerve. Paralyzed my face.

[@dirtpirateracing1629]

@@danielsande Oh wow!!! Well hopefully things will get back to normal for you! Very glad things were not alot worse.

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. Tragic

[@amurch1]

could you share the link for the closing music?

[@MotoMission.]

I don’t have a link. It’s a music service we use to license music Artlist

[@canadianfortruth]

bigfoot real yup found a den before .trippy as puk

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Someday I hope to meet a Bigfoot. Maybe in a zoo

[@schneefoen]

Well, well … if those bees get you in your boots for some reason, you will for sure see a Bigfoot that day.

[@MotoMission.]

Sounds like you have discovered where Bigfoot came from.

[@twowheelzen9419]

Don't know if you'll get out to michigan, but if you do please look me up. I can take you around and we can do some great riding...

[@MotoMission.]

I hope to go Michigan next year

[@twowheelzen9419]

Please let me know when you come to Michigan next year, We will get together for sure and ride!!

[@rollandklontz]

There is so much to do and see in that leg of the BDR you kind of did yourself a disservice by pushing through it in one day.

[@MotoMission.]

I agree. And I regret that just about everyday. So much to see and do out there.

[@gzahnd]

Earnest question: was Dan wearing any armor on his knees, or just the pants?

[@danielsande]

Just pants

[@johnF56]

Yes Brock, to answer your question...Sasquatch is real. I know this for a fact because I was married to her. :) Great video, sorry about Dan's misfortune.

[@MotoMission.]

Haha

[@adampotter9151]

Those boots he is wearing look like tall shoes and no knee pads. Take this incident as a learning lesson, always wear good protective boots and knee pads. Hope is injury isn't bad.

[@danielsande]

Agreed

[@2-Wheel-Explorer]

I said it before and I’ll say it again wear good quality armor it’s a heck of a lot cheaper then hospital bills and rehab

[@MotoMission.]

Indeed it is

[@RobertHarrington-d8z]

Bigfoot is not a myth. He's my dad

[@MotoMission.]

Coolest dad ever

[@craigsturman6661]

(Tongue in cheek) I think there's only one Bigfoot and it's Cain from the bible. 🤣

[@MotoMission.]

I want to meet him

[@craigsturman6661]

@@MotoMission. Talk about good content! Although I think if it were me, I'd probably just keep it to myself.

[@bradwelch4076]

Of course, Bigfoot is real. I'll show ya pictures when I see ya next. They're blurry of course. 😅

[@MotoMission.]

You funny.

[@edwardbrown4455]

I think Bigfoot is real!

[@MotoMission.]

I hope to meet him someday

[@TheRealBrotherLance]

You let him go on his own.... Fail brother.

[@MotoMission.]

I could have made better choices.

[@TheRealBrotherLance]

@@MotoMission. It seemed to work out. No worries brother. God will give you a chance in the future to make that better choice. Praise God for his grace and mercy. Happy he is okay. 👍. I bottomed out my suspension on a dirt road once. Tore off my license plate. Got caught in my chain. Locked up the rear. Praise God I didn't crash. But a complete stranger showed up in a truck. I was able to get rolling. And he followed me for a bit to make sure I was road worthy. Never forgot that. Now if I ever see a biker broke or down. I always stop stay and help. Code of the road for a biker. 👊

[@randystilson6189]

Hey brother are you a Neil Peart fan?

[@MotoMission.]

Of course.
