Timmy is such a great guy and those Grump boys don't give up on the adventure or motocamping 😁

Looks like an awesome time Frank, great job on the water crossings the TMM are no mud tire and less when almost worn out. Interesting story on how you came to know the Bearded grump. Fantastic diner, and camping. Thank you all. BTW ... I agree with you on being able to lift your own bike, the KTM790 will be a breeze for a young kid like you.

Hello Dave, My Bearded Grump story: I wanted to run the Smokey Mountain 500, so as one does, I was searching for videos on KZbin. The first video that came up was the second video in their SM500 series. They were "real;" in their videos that I watched the whole series that morning. At the time I was often sharing videos I liked on my community tab, and I started sharing my favorites of theirs. Greg reached out to say thank you and we started chatting regularly. I then rode to SC and met DOC, Timmy, and Greg. Road the SCAR to the Palmetto ADV Rally and had a great time. There are no more authentic people on KZbin than Greg and Timmy. As Doc says there is "Frank," which is essentially my workplace persona I use on YT, and then there is what he calls "Frankie, " which is a Frank without the filters in place. Greg and Timmy are exactly what you see! - Frank

Hello Cheyanne, fun was had by all! I still get tired when I think about how many hours you stood up on your Tenere on this trip! LEGS OF STEEL! - Frank

[@Jason_MotoPhotoAdventures]

Great episode!

[@OneOldManRiding]

Hello Jason, you folks NEED to run the SM500! Thank you for watching! - Frank

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

A proper adventure Frank. How many times did you have to lift your bike that day? Using the Amish carriage would mean a proper relax after the ride on such hard terrain. :) Got my like mate.

[@OneOldManRiding]

Hello Gregor, I lifted it once. I think. FYI YT is no longer showing me your videos! I need to stop by the channel soon. -Frank

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@OneOldManRiding Dont worry Frank. There is for sure something for you. Feel free. :)

[@thecorporategypsy]

What time did you guys break camp out of curiosity?

[@OneOldManRiding]

Hello Gypsy, I am not positive here, as a rule we were slacking and not out until 9 am or so. - Frank

[@thecorporategypsy]

@@OneOldManRiding thats helpful thank you. Just finished the SM500 and it was cold so did not roll until 10. A real slug for sure and problematic when dark hits in the mountains at 5pm. Thanks again, Charles

[@robertmatejka7573]

Why dont you guys tell us what road your on, and what camp sites your using? Nobody does that. Video is entertaining, but I would subscibe if it was informative as well. Name and describe the route Old Man!

My apologies Robert, I am going to make an effort to do so this season! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
