Great video. Appreciate seeing your perspective on things. I've been wanting to go for several years.

It’s a very worth-while rally. I hope you get to go.

My BuzzKill did the same thing after a few years. They sent me 4 new cables for free and I was able to replace them pretty easily.

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

Great tip for others! They’ve replaced my unit. I hope it lasts a bit longer.

Damn those water crossings look cold!

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

It was only called when the water got so high. It went over our boots. And yes, it was quite cold.

Great footage. Looks like weather cooperated this year. Cheers. Kam

Absolutely. Last year it was so damn cold! Much warmer this year

Great video … at the 1.08 minute point the group you went by was the DART training group practicing “hill fails” and how to get out of that situation safely. I was on the Orange KLR650 as you went by … loved the MMM event, my second year and will be one not to miss from now on. DART trading was epic and much needed for myself. Hope you are well.

MMM is such a good time. Awesome kick off to the riding season.

You forgot to say “man down” when you went down in the water. Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the videos

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

hahaha. man, what a huge missed opportunity. I "man downed" it like 5 times that day then did not even cover my own!

Where is this place? it's beautiful. I would love to ride all the way through the same route.

What a great synopsis of the event. You even did a section at KTM speed! 😉 I need to put this on my radar for future years.

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

It'd be a lot of fun to ride with you. Yeah, I hit 70 at one point and I did the 6.6 hour Cherokee challenge in 5.5 hours but those efficiencies were because I didn't stop once for water, bathroom or food or gas. I didn't leave the seat (unless standing). As for 'pace' I was bottom of the pack. I'm a slow rider and like to enjoy the sights and sounds.

Me, too. I’m in it for the sights!

Looks like a great time and route Adam. Some of the water crossings look familiar from TAT videos I've seen.

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

It actually is, there is some TAT around this neck of the woods.

That 701 looks killer! What editing software you using? I’ve been using iMovie on my phone and it’s very limited. I’d like to be able to speed up sections like you’ve done here

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

Final Cut Pro on a Mac but iMovie is more than fine on the Mac. I appreciate the compliment. My editing is very minimal. I just cut out the boring parts. It’s about 90 minutes of video for 15 minutes of final product. Only thing that would help is if I had a second person filming.

@AdventureYeti31 Жыл бұрын

@@AdamChandler86 right on. For my uses iMovie works for the most part but it’s sloooow editing on the phone. I guess I need to break down and buy a decent computer

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

An Apple M1 MacBook Air that’s 3 years old should be around $600-$700 on eBay and can handle GoPro / iPhone videos. That’s my recommendation.

@MrMikepaul8 8 ай бұрын

Hello, thanks for the video about MotoMadness in TN. I live in RI and I am thinking about making the trip. I do dirtdaze every year (last 5 years) but wanna try something new. Was it worth the drive for you? Also did you tent it or hotel? I’m

@AdamChandler86 8 ай бұрын

Long drive but there were 2 of us and we put 2 bikes in the back of the truck and just drove straight down. Yep two 2-man tents and we camped on-site. There’s a lot of social elements to being there late, standing by the fire and having a few glasses of beer with new friends. It wouldn’t be the same experience to be in a comfy bed even though some people do that and probably sleep better because it can get quite cold. 3-season tent and 0 degree sleeping bag are essential.

Is that witt road? that one river crossing looks tough.

It may be, I am bad at keeping track of road names but we had a lot of fun.

@@AdamChandler86 I think I've seen it in some trans America trail videos. That one with the ridges everyone always says it's slippery. Thanks for uploading.

@AdamChandler86 Жыл бұрын

Oh yeah! yep, my friend who did the TAT in 2019 said that Is the most slippery road on the TAT so I think. you're right. I think 4 of the 10 bikes got laid over when we were standing there. It was good fun though.
