Agreed!

As a german I was laughing when you drive into Burgdorf. A german name for such a unique little town. The whole Idaho bdr looks awesome. Thanks for taking us with you.

As a Idahoan living in South East of the state. We definitely have a piece of heaven here. I am familiar with most of the areas in this film. I live barely in country outside Pocatello. I wouldn't change it for anything.

The best ADV / BDR documentary I've seen guys. Really great footage, and historical flavor. It was obvious and entertaining that you fellas are friends and used to traveling with one another. Kudos to the history professor also. It's my believe that if everyone could have more of an appreciation for the "times gone by" and the people who left a mark, that our country's people might have more of a feeling of patriotism for the U.S. This is why I identify with your documentary. I'm retired and own and travel on my motorcycle when I can. I get a sense of what the days of the wild west must have been like, the desperation they felt, the uncertainty, but also what they must have felt in their gut, for the virgin country they were settling in. Your footage allows one to be taken back, on some level. Thanks guys....

The river below Anderson Ranch Dam is awesome fly fishing and I can be found there often.

These BDR videos are just the best!

@25:15 is Randy Priest playing the banjo. Sadly he has just gone to his glory, so RIP old friend, as you will be missed.

I learned as a young backpacker in the seventies that a timetable is the most dangerous goal on a trip. I never understand why people are in such a hurry to get some ware. The wonderful thing about camping is you can make camp at anytime.

that works if you are either a bilionare or a bum, rest of of us have work to attend to and don't have an indefinite amount of time for shitfuckery. I usually allow 7 hours per day for riding, adjusting the time according to what type of roads I will be riding on, highways only I did 13h straight. The key is to know your limits and allow buffer time for unexpected stops, also leave early in the morning and don't stop every 5miles for 1h each stop.

I am from NY but have been to Idaho many times over the years in the military and just traveling through. I have been riding for over 40 years and just started to do the BDR's. This is next on my list. I have never seen Idaho in this way and it is beautiful! You guys have made this a must do ride. I will complete it solo and that seems doable by the way you have shown here.

Once again, thank you very much for making this available.

Great job and keep up the good work. Inspiration for all us dirt bike riders out there to keep plotting paths and enjoying this beautiful country.

I have wanted to move to Idaho for a long time but my wife was unsure that she would like it there. We watched this documentary together and she was inspired with the beautiful landscapes. Now I just have to wait for my daughter to finish school and my wife to finish her last two years of her degree. But I will definitely be making the BDR trip before then. ✌️

Thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks for taking us along!

I love exploring my backyard. You never know what you'll find around the next bend, or over the next hill. Whatever you discover, it's going to be good. I have often told people that to really experience Idaho, you have to get out of the city, off the pavement, and onto the dirt.

What a great resource. I watched the whole video with my Idaho Benchmark road atlas taking notes. Thank you for the great video and all the effort into sharing it with us. cheers

love seeing this area I fought many of the fire there and seeing the forest as its recovering is awesome.

Omg, what a great doc! This is on my 2 year bucket list for sure.

Excellent video. Great introduction to the Idaho BDR.

we plan to do this BDR wit hour group of Expedition trailer owners..so far I would say this is my favorite BDR video. Well done!

I was going to see if anyone was considering this with overlanding rigs. I'd love try it with my boys on our bikes, but only one is plated and my youngest doesn't have a MC endorsement on his license. Thought my 88 Samurai w/small trailer would make a good chase truck with all the food/fuel/tents/etc.

Well done, gentlemen! What an excellent adventure! Happy Trails!

I wouldn't ride a big hard bag bike for that reason! A lighter bike with soft bags and he'd probably be fine. You can keep those tanks! Sorry that happened but the hard bags are just asking for it

We rode this BDR mid July. I went down in what the locals called `moondust`, real deep stuff on a curve. Very lucky to have soft bags as my right leg was pinned under the bag, facing backwards! With my old hard bags, it would have been a call to EMS with a snapped leg for sure. I ended up pretty sore, but nothing broken.

Hi, my friend Wow! It's a video that gives me so much fun and admiration Have a lucky day 👍👍👍

Incredible, that is all I can say. Thanks

This really captures the true essence of adventure riding. Great mates, great route, great scenery. 10/10 just brilliant 👏 👌 👍

What a wonderful adventure! Thank you for sharing this experience!!

Great videos guys! Kudos to all those who dedicated so much work to share this wonderful BDR. We’re looking forward to riding it ourselves this summer.

Beautiful adventure thanks for recording this ! 😎♥️🤍💙

I think I just saw Bill and his crew yesterday at The Griddle in Eagle having breakfast. 5 ADV bikes in the lot.

Awesome documentary!! Love how you all included the history and maps of the route. Thank you for giving us a tour of the small towns along the way. Just subscribed and going to watch all of your videos. Keep them coming!

I wish I could keep hitting the “like button” and adding to this! Looking forward to making this trip in the future

5 of my friends an I did the IDBDR back in 2017. wonderful ride. Lots of memories. we still talk about it today and share photos from our personal archives when we run across them.

Very very well done, Sterling!!! I’m sold on the Idaho BDR, bro! Awesome!!! Thank you!

We camped at the White House Pond NFS campground last summer. It is on US 12 west of Lolo. Lewis & Clark stopped there to fish on their way west.

Knew Wallace looked familiar...then I figured out it was the location shoot for the movie Dante's Peak. Some of the action scenes were shot on the main drags looking down at I-90 from the same vantage point that is shown in this video! Great scenery overall. I'm hoping to do the Idaho BDR this coming summer. Got to make my way out there from SW Missouri.

Thank you so much, you guys are an amazing resource for the community

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎

This would be an awesome experience. Really enjoyed watching. Just a heads up though, the Grand Dad Bridge crossing was over Dworshak Reservoir which is fed by the north fork of the Clearwater River.

That looks like a Great Route. Not so Technical that you don’t enjoy it. Beautiful State. Great Ride Guys and Thank You for all the hard work Videoing the Trip. It was a Long Haul but worth it. I think doing it in 12 Days would be better. You would have more Time to Explore everything. Great Video, I really enjoyed it.👍😁❤️

Yes 2023!!!!!

amazing video guys! loved every minute. you have explored more of my home state than I have and I think that needs to change.

That trip is a dream of every biker.

So cool guys!

What an AWESOME trip!!!

Great show!

I am attaching information for you guys to check out. I have found this is a much better option for me and way more comfortable. But still really light and packable. It's on Amazon, FE Active Folding camping cot, good, sturdy and I promise you will thank me for the recommendation 😘. I'm a Founder of the Litas Ogden, UT. We get ladies on bikes and out into the big beautiful roads in the UT, ID, WY, and CO. & surrounding states. We do moto camping trips and camp out in the campgrounds with our tents. I love it. We promote safe riding, stewardship of our land and just a grand adventure. This has inspired me to get the ladies to do a off road moto camping trip. I ride both street and dirt and quite a few of the Litas also ride both. I'm going to try to do at least one Enduro road bike trip in our schedule for next summer. Your film really was awesome and so informative and helpful. I will refer to it as a planning reference. Ride safe! Lesley 😎

Great riding and scenery, looking forwards to doing it myself one day. I'm in Australia.

Wow, What a neat route, I dont ride off road, I am really tempted try this.

Adding this one to the list! Thanks for the vid!

Looks like a great trip!

Amazing content. I am looking forward to a trip such as this. It would be interesting content to show all the prep, gear lists, and maintenance/repairs the crew undertook.

Awesome!! Enough said, just Awesome!!

Awesome 👏

Great trip

Thank you Sterling , I really enjoyed your film ;)

Excellent Presentation 💐 Hearty Greetings from Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳

Brilliant, I think I will have to hunt out the other BDR’s. A very interesting bunch of guys, mine are quite a rag tale bunch compared, basically anyone who wants to come, which is half the battle to getting a such diverse set.

Bunch of arm chair moto riders in the comment section i see. Great video guys, thanks for bringing it through Avery, one of the coolest areas in Idaho. I was up there for a few weeks fighting some wildfires, highly recommended taking an extra 2 or 3 days to explore around that area!

Fabulous documentary!

Great trip and great production!

Dangit man. Sterling looks like he's 10 years younger in this video. Ha! With all do respect of course. Love he's contributing to bdr videos... and his own channel.

i dont ride but used to...love this trip, i will plan one on 4x4

The town of Wallace was used to film the movie Dante’s Peak.

Hahaha, Deep Patch of Sand, we call those dust puddles here in the high desert. Lol. They can be sketchy.

Great review.

BEST VIDEO

SUCH A GREAT TRIP 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 STARTING To think my 1000 pound Street Glide might be getting too heavy for me at 64yo with a broken back. Like I have said b4... enjoy... while you are able

I am surprised those tiny little bikes made that trip.

Excellent presentation of the IBDR. It's fun to see some of the places we've all travelled; well done, and thanks.

Brilliant, thank you. I enjoyed watching how the 990, 800 GS or the bigger 1200/1250 suspension dealt with the rougher surfaces. I thought the 800 looked more settled, followed closely by the 990’s?

Sure would be great to ride those trails, backroads

Hello from Alaska. Great vid bro.

Two down on the first day, bet that slowed everyone down a bit. Made me think a bit, 20 days riding with a group of ten around Vietnam most of December, reckon I might be a bit more cautious!!!!

My buddy and I are doing the Idaho BDR in October this year, I hope it's not too cold for us😅

Be aware that the Burgdorf Hot Springs has new owners now, and you need to make a reservation before you arrive... plus the prices for cabins is considerably more expensive than it was when this film was made.

Yep, this was a source of frustration for us. We camped right near there, and packed up early to go for a soak in the hot springs after many long days on the trail. We soon found out we couldnt go anywhere near the place without a reservation. How you're supposed to make one with no cell service for days in either direction is beyond me. Signs saying "NO WALK INS``. Seems silly as there`s nothing around for miles.

Those roads can be bad in a truck. I can't imagine what they are like on a bike. Slow is faster........at the beginning the camera bike looked to be going to fast. Just after that was the incident with the sand in the road. I am very surprised you guys had those problems!!!
