That muddy road was intense. You are either blessed with bravado or foolish abandonment or both; perfect mix for an adventure biker aficionado. Bravo Brock

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. All of the above

[@Motoramblings]

I live super close to Hot Springs NC, love it here, some of the best riding in the country is in this area!! That 209 out of Hot Springs is my favorite “Go to” ride when I just need my helmet time!!!

[@MotoMission.]

Beautiful area for sure. I need to return

[@mattmcdowell5225]

Shhhhhh. Don't let everyone in on that bud. 209 is FAR better than the Blue Ridge, Better than the Tail of the Dragon. Of course, I did those rides on two wheels with just the power of the legs. No motor. Specialized Roubaix Elite.

[@Motoramblings]

@@mattmcdowell5225 couldn’t do any of those without gasoline power!😂😂😂

[@curvefeeler]

Nice ridin', bro.. and video too. Enjoying it all. That DragonBurger was kinda ehhhh, huh?!

[@MotoMission.]

Dragon meat ain’t what it used to be. :)

[@dandersonjr]

That's my kinda riding only on my 701 not your 890. Good ride. Thanks.

[@MotoMission.]

Great idea

[@nathanbrownmolotov8697]

Loved the video. Been to deals Gap. Beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along.

[@MotoMission.]

Ah. Awesome to hear. That is a nice area. Glad you are enjoying the series.

[@ryanmalone2681]

Very nice riding on that muddy steep section, and that tight u-turn on the trail was pretty impressive too. Respect 👊🏼

[@MotoMission.]

The camera never does it justice. But if you ride you know.

[@northeastadventuremotorcycleri]

Two thumbs up Brock! Great ride and I plan on doing this in June of 2023

[@MotoMission.]

That’s great to hear. I have friends doing it in june.

[@willgraham7618]

Awesome adventure…looking forward to more videos

[@Wigmore72]

So awesome to watch this journey.

[@MotoMission.]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@DBRHighPerformance]

This looked fun!

[@Motoramblings]

Very cool you made it! Some of that looked very intense!!

[@MotoMission.]

It got a little sketchy w the rain and mud. I wasn’t happy w tire choice. I have learned and improved

[@northeastadventuremotorcycleri]

@@MotoMission. were you running the Motoz tractionator GPS tires? I've run the heidenau k60's in the past on a long-distance ride and I like them for the mileage and I thought they did okay off-road also. They look a lot like the tractionator GPS

[@MotoMission.]

I did have a gps on rear for a while. Did ok most of the time. But I needed more aggressive tread. Moved to the motoz rallz and I am super glad I did.

[@wiscokid4395]

You have years of good content.

[@MotoMission.]

Big thanks. Hoping you enjoying it

[@chucklemaster316]

Nice riding! 👍

[@MotoMission.]

Thanks man. I love it.

[@robdavis2]

I am just learning about the TransAmerica trail. The one thing no one is mentioning, or covering is where on earth are y'all getting gas from? Is it set up to be close to gas stations along the way? I would be very concerned I would run out of gas. But nobody seems concerned about it or worried that that would be an issue enough to have talked about it. And I see many people doing it. I also have questions about the road. On some people's videos through Colorado it is like a single trail that barely allows for a motorcycle. Is there an alternative trail as well for 4 x 4's?

[@MotoMission.]

Gas stations are hard to find. The sections stop at towns w gas. But sometimes we could not find gas. Had to go seek gas a few times. Never pass a gas station The trails can be tough in some places. Some jeep trails become very tight and make it impossible to pass someone. But for the most part you can expect dirty and gravel trails with mud sand and rocks.

[@virginialax03]

Are there GPX files for the ride from Candor NC to Statesville NC to Bakersville? (0:50) I live in Charlotte and would love to do that ride this weekend if possible.

[@MotoMission.]

GPS kevin has the files for that leg. Gpskevin.com

[@plastruk]

I remember that hill. Nope I went around

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Yeah. It got nasty.
