    How epic! I just happen to cross your channel. What a wonderful adventure. When I went to change out my bike, I went for my V-strom 650. Thought I wanted a DR but I wanted the luggage and everything of a GS 1200 so the GS won! I love the DR I wish I had money for both

    Appreciate the video and effort to produce it. Gives an insight into an epic adventure. I enjoy the western states for adventure rides and plan to spend a lot of time out there this year. Who were your ride partners? Friends, family? Good rapport. Plus I’m a DR650 man and part time Florida myself.

    Thanks for that fun and exciting video. How many days did the trip take? How much of the trip was on Black top? Would you recommend this route over the GWT through Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. I really appreciate the video footage and all the time to document an incredible trip.

    I know zero-point-zero about DR650's. I have rode BMW Adventure bikes for a real long time with almost 100,000 miles on them around the world. I love them but the weight is bugging me and im not as strong as I was... Ok, so I'm planning on going on another 25,000 mile ride. I want a lighter bike but not sure if I want a heavier KTM 890 450 lbs or a lighter DR650 375 lbs. Pro's and cons... Simplicity vs complex. Comfort vs harder ride. More stock vs adding a ton of mods.... You get it... How was your experience with the DR's? BTW: I rode from Miami to Thailand in a BMW F850GSA... Long and hard ride.

    Im thinking of hiking the CDT and bringing a truck/motorcycle to 'leapfrog' (drive, walk to other vehicle) My question is, i would like to get small moped for ease of use, Im happy taking side roads with it, but am wondering how often I have to drive on freeways...and if its safe to take on a fwy...any advice?

    A KLR will go anywhere you have the guts and skill to ride it. I've seen 60,000 miles of this planet from the seat of a KLR including brutal places like the Rubicon Trail

    It'd be cool to see a version without the music. The sound of the bikes and maybe some candit thoughts on the road would make it so much more real.
