Welcome, come enjoy some of my adventures around the world. I try to get off the beaten path, hiking or on my motorcycle. Always keen to explore remote areas and sometimes get lost which can lead sometimes to real frustration or some spectacular finds. No matter how bad the situation may be I always look back and laugh because in the end the experiences are what it is all about.

Enjoy and tide save!
Thx 😀
Cool video but it’s not Edinbro! Bro, it’s Edin brah, brah!
O I had no idea. No one told me that before.
hope you pack a tripod
🙄
Good, I'm looking forward to the cross Canada trip. Enjoy and have fun.
Good to see you back on my screen again, looking forward to the epic trip cross Country 👍
Thanks getting excited for it.
‘The bike didn’t want to comply with the trail’ 😂
It's been a while since this last video. Are you okay?
Yes thanks. I will be taking my next big journey in August so stay tuned. Thanks for checking in😀
hi! can you share coordinates or location? thank you
Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel).
Beautiful place for sure . It would be cool to add some set up content along with meal prep etc along with some evening campfire stories or pondering . Give your take on your gear for cooking camping and other stuff you use . Looks like fun and I hope to be able to do one of these BDR routes one of these days .
You are most definitely a trooper . I know tbe feeling of dumping my Tenere 700 in front of people eating at a busy downtown area in Santa Cruz California . Hadn't ridden in 14 months and she's a tippy girl but rider error was to blame . That one dump in the bushes at least the landing looked softer . That was some more tricky conditions for sure .
Been a while . Definitely an adventure . Now off to see your following adventure that looks like Idaho . What nice guy that farmer . Next time tell the gatekeeper at the border you got a pannier full of blow and the other is stuffed full of Benjamins , lol . Do not do that , just would be so hilarious to see what tbe skink would do . Some might laugh and say have a nice day but more likely they would get all pissy and at least dig through all your stuff .
Ya def not at the USA border lol. Thx for the support 😀

Riding super muddy terrain can really be a challenge. Especially since all mud isn’t the same. I’ve got caught in wet clay before and by caught I mean experience it on my butt! Water crossings over concrete slabs is often the same, scary slippery!
Ya it was pretty impassable so lucky I was able to get back up the hill.
looks like you put your front wheel on backwards since your speedometer stopped working after you got that swapped! the tone ring is only on one side but yet the wheel will go on in either direction. speedometer not working is a sure sign of it being backwards.
😳O. I'll will have a look thx.
I applaud your dedication and drive but damn dude. You simply do not have the off-road skills to do this type of trip on your own. You need a partner to help you or some more seat time on smaller bike without luggage to practice the basics. I know riding a heavy bike in sand is not easy but drops 3, 4 and especially 5 were just from being uncomfortable. You are working the clutch way too much because you’re scared. You shouldn’t be revving the bike so much with the clutch pulled in while barely moving. You need to keep your momentum and keep chugging along. You are setting yourself up for injury riding way outside your skill level. Edit. I just watched drop number 6. Is that T7 the first off-road bike you’ve ever owned? You are going to get hurt dude. Get a WR250R or XT250 and learn the offroad basics. I’m not trying to be an asshole but it seems like you’ve watched too much KZread and thought you could just buy a T7 and a Klim suit and go do a BDR with minimal off-road experience
Thanks for the comments I appreciate the concern and totally get it. Bought a ktm 200 to practice on the trails. This is my 2nd T7. Watch how I trash the first one🤣! If you can stomach it watch how I finished the ride in 12 days..... And even the bike survived too! 😁
@@TrippinwithMitch For sure. Again, not trying to be an asshole. I’ve been riding Dualsport/Adv for 10 years. I have a Super Tenere 1200 and a plated WR450. The T7 is a tough beast you won’t hurt it. Just keep practicing and be careful when riding alone. Lots of guys break bones out alone and need rescue and the BDRs are not easy even for experienced riders
I enjoyed the videos of your ride. Thanks for bringing us along. I'm not an expert rider, but I know I like to ride off road, and if I slip in some mud every now and then, it's not the end of the world, right? There are a hundred BDR and TAT videos on KZread showing riders with similar problems on these unmaintained, often improperly-graded roads. I watched a TAT ride where the mud was so thick it packed the front fender with enough mud to prevent the front wheel from spinning freely (I think the front tire was ruined). I watched another recently where the rider had to walk his bags up a hill similar to what you had to do in this video. It's the risk you take riding these routes, and it's worth it to many of us. I think the adventure would lose its allure if you were guaranteed to not have any problems. I plan to drop my bike often so I can talk about it later. Hope you get the front end sorted out.
Thanks for the support I totally agree. Sure it's frustrating in the moment but afterwards it's great if you escape relatively unscathed. Front end is all good. Still have to get odometer fixed.
Reminds me of some time i spent in wyoming. Mud can be an absolute nightmare on a bike.
Ya it was pretty much impassable... At least for my skills lol.
Hey brother....the USA goes by miles......save ur kilometers for Canda eh..
What's a mile? 🤔
@@TrippinwithMitch 5280ft....lol
I thought it was some kind of club 🤔
Looks like you need 3 wheels buddy ,your motorcycle skills are unqualified for mud riding
Indeed lol and definitely not the right tires. 😳
Boy that looked fun.😅
Lol o ya so much 🤣
LIKE I SAID YOU ARE NOT A VERY GOOD RIDER, A SMALLER BIKE WOULD MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOU, IF YOU WENT WITH ME AND THE BOYES RIDING HERE IN IDAHO YOU WOULD EVER GET TO SEE WHAT IDAHO HAS TO OFFER, ANYBODY CAN RIDE DOWN PAVEMENT, YOU MAKE ZERO SENSE, CONGRATS
Thanks so much. I really thought I was a great rider until you pointed out how bad I am. Darn I had such high hopes fo the Dakar! 😭😭😭
BDR-Back Dirt Road 😂
I THINK YOU NEED A BIGGER BIKE, I LIVE HER IN IDAHO SEE GUYS LIKE YOU COME THRU HERE ALL THE TIME, GET A SMALLER BIKE
You just made zero sense. Congrats 🎉
Great
Have you considered putting wheels on the side of your bike? It seems to spend a great deal of time on its sides, so wheels would allow you continue your progress despite the bikes unfortunate attitude.
Indeed I have just kind find ones I like 😁
Burrrn!!
Good job and way to keep going...
Thanks for the support 😀
Mitch you did it! You didn’t swear. Thank you. You are a classy guy and this episode showed it. My son and two other guys from Canada rode the Idaho BDR this past fall. One of our crew broke his leg and had to get picked up by a helicopter. I’m excited to watch the rest of your videos.
Awesome thanks for the support 😀
Hello, Rider! How are you? Wonderful clip! Would it be OK if we used it in a youtube video we're making and maybe share it on our social media? We'll credit you in the video and all descriptions. Thank you! :) Can you explain what happened?
Absolutely
Hi! Good to feature this one for my edit?
Yes please 😀
What's up? Would it be ok if I feature your video for a project that I'm working on? You'll be credited on screen. Thanks in advance.
Creepy Wolves, gravity defying weather, deathly ditches and soft sand... tough but a great adventure!
Indeed and awesome place to explore 😀
Hi speedo broke
O ya!
Hi Mitch! Thanks for sharing another great video! From CT, U.S.A. (libland).
Thx so much for the support 😀
Everything OK
All good thx for checking. Just been busy and haven't been out filming.
Hello, Rider! Hope you're doing great! Love this clip! Would it be OK if we used it in a youtube video we're making and maybe share it on our social media? We'll credit you in the video and all descriptions. Thank you! :)
Yes thank you. Please let me know when you post.
Wow! That howling. I’d start feeling like I might be lunch.
Super creepy 🥺
Idaho is really nice, thanks for sharing. Any of those small 'adventure bumps' is worth every second of that ride! 🤩
Yes so far the whole ride has been great!
woooooo0000000000ooooooooooooooooooooo 😯
That's awesome! Always someone around to help as in your other video. I've found that watching a handful of T7 owners vids I gathered a few things and as long as I bring the tools, I can likely do the changes myself. I went above average in tool prep so... Center stand, moto winch in tank bag for lifting bike, tubes, patches, glue, valve cores. You probably know / have all this already. Front tire is easiest I've found. Hopefully you removed or swapped out the OEM rear. Without really heavier duty tools most can't remove the rear OEM tire.
I realized I didn't have the right tools to get the tire off anyway lol. I'll have to resupply for the next trip.
Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel).
Yes thank you.
Thanks a lot!@@TrippinwithMitch
Beautiful terrain, though somewhat sad to see it burned.
Yes quite a lot has been burned.
You’re welcome for helping film the cliff jump! My pleasure. It was good to meet you!
Ah great glad you found it 😀
I would normally go down the Zig Zags. They're easier than the Ladder, but it isn't too bad to be honest. The wet is what makes it tiring. Otherwise it's a relatively straightforward hike. The gullies offer more scrambling opportunities.
Nice place! The places I find turn out like the Bates Motel without the character. 🥺
I have been in plenty of those too lol 🤔😳
Thanks for sharing!
Thx for the support 😊
good work putting out the fire ... Its like you were trained to do it !
I've never been to a fire 😳
Hello, can I feature this video for my youtube edit? I'll credit you with watermark on screen!
Sure thank you.
What's up? Can I feature this video for my youtube edit? I'll credit you with watermark on screen and with a link in description.
Yes that would be great thanks.
Hey man. How is life?! All good to feature this clip in our next episode? Full credits, of course! Any additional information you want us to mention about the clip itself?
Yes that would be great thanks. I don't have any extra info about the clip.
Hey man. I used it, feel free to check it out and tell me what you think. Thank you again, so much! Video: Angry Lady Raging! | Crazy, Cool & Unexpected Motorcycle Moments [2023] Ep.23
Sorry for the delay!
That's awesome thanks so much! :)
