South Carolina Adventure Route | Thru-Ride

[@lizdg3892]

What a beautiful route.

[@rickgoforth8308]

I really like the way you had the road names on the bottom of your video. Great job! LOL, I posted a video on following to closely. Totally my fault. Lesson learned!

[@denny5564]

I did not know this route existed. I plan to start the loop from Charleston in the spring.

[@PSBEadventures]

As an upstate SC native and adv bike rider, I really appreciate this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@tube8522]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to doing the route soon.

[@rodneybutler7939]

great videos, great music!!!!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks a lot!

[@gregwelch8205]

Thank you and well done , can't wait to get out there !

[@steveb2618]

Super cool adventure and video guys!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

[@stevecarmack6267]

Great job on this! Looks like a good ride.

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks!

[@birdseyesupply]

Very nice video, well done.

[@MotoTherapy]

Thank you!!

[@RadConSuper]

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

[@MotoTherapy]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@jerseycowboy1]

Very nice video

[@adampoe6139]

Between my ol VW bus and now my KLR650 I've always said I could potentially connect Ceasars Head to Charleston on mostly dirt and have tried alot over the last 23 years. So glad there is now a route that travels some of my favorite dirt and back roads. I can't wait to ride the SCAR in the next few months.

[@MrCaptainCrazy]

We are in the beginning stages of planning this trip. I plan on putting it on my KZbin channel as well... We are going to attempt this with a Suzuki DR650 and a Yamaha TW200 this summer.

[@MotoTherapy]

Excellent! I hope you have a fantastic adventure, and I look forward to seeing your video!

[@MrCaptainCrazy]

Less than a week away from doing this. I'm excited!!!

[@hgcl5290]

Good job in post production! Titles look great and I'm so glad you labeled the roads with the footage. Everyone appreciates the effort you have put into your project.

[@timeslikethese6379]

Really good video, guys. From the NC foothills.

[@MotoTherapy]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@danielc3512]

Great video, very nice route! Fixing your flat tire on the side of the road, camping, riding rough roads makes you true dualsport riders.

[@PaulCuenin]

Going to try some of this with my LX470. Looks fun!

[@toddmccollum6221]

I live about 20 minutes(just in Georgia) from Westminster. It was cool watching you guys ride some familiar roads for me. That area is a beautiful ride.

[@MotoTherapy]

Glad you enjoyed it! We certainly did!

[@solosaga5091]

A LOT of work goes into laying out a route like this, and it's greatly appreciated. This video makes it a complete "set." Definitely a near-term goal to do the S.C.A.R. Someone (maybe me?) Needs to do something similar in NC.

[@elliegomez628]

Thanks, for sharing and planning. I can’t wait to ride the SCAR!

[@donmeredith74]

Nice work on the route & the video. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together!

[@riorica1]

Wow! Kris and Hans, you guys rock. Best ever video made of the SCAR. Plus it's cool to have seen the daily FB post and then this video later lol.

[@bmwlane8834]

Great ride and vid! Looking forward to riding some of this.

[@williammahaffy4642]

Fantastic video and ride. Great edits, music, sequencing, the whole smash! Would LOVE to do this but 1) About 20% is probably beyond my current off-road ability and 2) that's magnified with a HEAVY bike (Yam S10) and being an older solo rider. Could easily get into a real pickle in the "peanut-butter" (I don't like pickle and PB!). Thanks for putting this together. Terrific effort!!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks for the feedback! I encourage you to give the SCAR a chance some time. Most of it is quite manageable. For example, the “peanut butter” was on one of the more difficult alternate sections.

[@Ron_C]

Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing. Myself and a couple of other guys are starting in Camden tomorrow..I think we’re going counter clockwise.

[@MotoTherapy]

Be safe out there! And just as importantly, have a great time!

[@maxwema333]

Thank you for putting this together. Gives a very good idea what to expect. Nicely done

[@adventuremotoman]

agreed. this was pretty on base

[@scridercoach]

Great stuff. Good job guys!

[@dandiego7298]

Thoroughly enjoyable, guys. Thanks!

[@MotoPhotoAdventures]

Really nicely done, guys! Great job editing the footage too...especially timing the cuts to the music!!! Thanks for all the hard work putting this together.

[@HansKoeller]

Good job as always Kris.

[@tedjones8639]

Nice vid. Like how you labeled the roads as you went. That was a nice touch. Toward the end you were in my neck of the woods. I recognized some of the roads that I ride also. Ride on brother...

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks, Ted!

[@connorellis6886]

Great video. Doing the SM500 in a few weeks on my WR250R. Very new to dual sport so I appreciate the videos for new ideas and they help me plan a route. I am riding out of just north of Raleigh NC Keep up the great videos.

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks! We’ve ridden the SM500, too. It’s a fantastic route and you’ll love it!

[@doc650adventures]

You did such a good job on this video! I really appreciate the information and insight you provided on the SCAR. This video really helps a lot. I plan on doing it this next year and this is a great study tool for the trip. Really like how you listed the roads at the bottom of the screen, it is a great help. Thank You so much for this! Cheers!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks! The SCAR has been updated since we made this video. The route is somewhat different now between the towns of Blacksburg and Camden, but the rest of the route is still pretty much the same as in the video. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your adventure on the SCAR!

[@bartliebmann5749]

Nice video and great job on the route. I see you were officially initiated into the FMNF Dog Hunt Club!!!

[@titoalvarado29732]

This is an awesome video. So informative and helpful in planning a future trip. Good job.

[@oscar6236]

Great job on the drone shots. If possible when you stop for the night maybe do a gear discussion and possibly discuss your bikes and possible mods to add. Grrreat vid loved it

[@Offroadadv1]

Awesome video can't wait to ride it

[@scottwilson1887]

Thank you for doing this.

[@397coney7]

Ahh, this is awesome. I had planned on trying a portion of the TAT. But, living near Charlotte, NC.....I think the SCAR is better to get my feet wet with off-road adventure first. Doing some mods to my bike. Hopefully late spring 2021 I’ll tackle the SCAR.

[@MotoTherapy]

397 Coney Excellent! Having ridden both, I can say that the SCAR is very much like a mini TAT. Enjoy!

[@JuanPabloGallego1969]

Very nice work w the creation of the video! Anyway you have your GPX routes you can share and identify which are the pavement segments vs non? I know the SCAR website has the maps but they do not identify the pavement vs non. Thanks again for the nice vid

[@MotoTherapy]

There is no good way to identify the composition of every road. But there are some general maps that depict the predominately paved and sandy sections in the “user guide” page of the SCAR website.

[@JuanPabloGallego1969]

@@MotoTherapy thank you very much! I dont know how I missed that section, it is helpful indeed

[@allanmca]

Good video. SCAR is on list of to-dos soon. I'm on a Super Tenere. What tires did you run for this?

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks! I had Shinko 804/805s on the Africa Twin. I don't remember what Hans was running on his GSA. The Shinko's are a great tire for a SCAR thru-ride, as they handle all surfaces (and especially the sandy areas) well. Have a great trip!

[@tabhunter184]

Good vid Kris. Where was Diesel Bear?

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

What tires were you running on the Africa Twin? Seemed like it handled the mud pretty well.

[@MotoTherapy]

Shinko 804/805s. They are a great value, and they do very well in sand and mud.

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

@@MotoTherapy Kinda debating between those and AX41s. At first I was concerned with tread wear on pavement but I don't think either one is any better and the Shinkos are way more cost effective. Great video BTW.

[@MotoTherapy]

@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC Thanks! I wish you the best with your tire choice!

[@busyflyin]

I am from Northern Lower Michigan and we have a lot of sand. How much sand on this route?

[@MotoTherapy]

If you go to this link and scroll down, you will see a map with the sandy sections highlighted. I'd guess those sections comprise about 150-200 miles, and the route is about 40% off pavement, so that means about 60-80 miles are sandy. scadventureroute.wixsite.com/website/user-guide

[@daviderickson5199]

Looks like great fun. I've only done the piece from ~I-95 to ~I-85, but on 3 different days in my Xterra. What action camera and which drone did you use? Wednesday did it from Bamburg to I-20 with three guys on bikes, and one crashed on Cline Taylor Rd within feet of where you did, on a similar bike.

[@MotoTherapy]

Action cam was a Hero 5 Black (vlog cam on my handlebar was a Garmin VIRB). Drone was a DJI Mavic Mini. Yeah...that deep/dry sand challenged us!

[@daviderickson5199]

Thanks!

[@irishmike8218]

Nice!!

[@kenshiro882002]

wow - i wanna do that!

[@paulabirchmore2524]

Are some of the trails one way?

[@MotoTherapy]

No. The entire route uses public roads.

[@kmwalsh84]

Greetings, can ypu please advise on where to get paper maps/ updated gpx/ gps for this route? We live in Savannah Ga and would love to intercept the SCAR in Charleston and do the loop. Thanks for any advice and direction

[@MotoTherapy]

There are no paper maps, but there is an interactive Google map and downloadable GPX files on the SCAR website at www.scadventureroute.com. The route is also pre-loaded in the OnX Offroad app.

[@828Crosstrekadv]

Great video! Although it’s Geer hwy. not Greer.

[@MotoTherapy]

@@828Crosstrekadv Thanks! Nice catch on the typo 👍

[@828Crosstrekadv]

@@MotoTherapy awesome video. I didn’t mean any disrespect.

[@MotoTherapy]

@@828Crosstrekadv None taken 😃

[@kirklecureux230]

Thanks for putting this route together. Do y'all think I could traverse this thing in my AWD Subaru (with decent ground clearance)? Or would I need to use my 4WD Land Cruiser? The Land Cruiser looks way cooler, but it gets like 13 MPG (probably worse on dirt and gravel), and the Subaru is quite a bit more comfortable.

[@MotoTherapy]

Subaru should be good on the primary route, but maybe not for a of the more difficult alternate options.

[@joannscalici]

I plan on doing this in full size dodge pickup or trying to. Should be fun. My truck is a single cab, short wheel base on 33".

[@someguy5035]

How easy would this be in a 4wd like a stock TRD Off Road 4Runner? Looks doable, but you saw it all.

[@MotoTherapy]

Some Guy No prob on a 4x4

[@kernered15]

What time of the year did you record this? early November?

[@MotoTherapy]

This ride was Nov 17-21, 2020

[@MacMackAir]

I predict your channel does well!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thanks!!

[@merlinbauer4060]

Pretty boring needs some narration 10 minutes was enough.
