  • On the Trans America Trail across Oklahoma eastbound on my DR650. Riding from WA to VA on Dirt, I'm joined by my Son on his BMW 800 in this episode #9. Heat and dust of the Great Plains is interrupted by kittens and a ghost town Elgin KS: Pop 60.

    Excellent. I find that any town that has diagonal parking on a Main Street is generally going to be an interesting one. The ghost town was cool - would love to spend time wandering around there. But someone is keeping all the grass cut so I guess it’s not too abandoned.

      Very true! Elgin, KS Population 60 in 2020

    Thanks for sharing. I’ve watched many TAT videos. Not one ever mentions anything very positive about Oklahoma. Kudos to you for giving it more attention. Looks like a couple of highlights for me to look forward to. Cheers buddy. ~GrizzLee

    Did the TAT a few years back. Really cool to see some of the landmarks again. Brought some nostalgia back.

      Yeah. Did the TAT 2019 and it was fun to revisit some places.

      Yep. Luckily we missed the record heat just days earlier.

    Thank you very much for this great report. After all your adventures in the mountains, gravel roads and highways, do you think the DR650 remains an excellent choice for motorcycle travel or would you like another motorcycle? I'm asking you this because I'm starting to think about changing my Tenere 700 for a DR650. Thank you Alain

    • @jrdepew
      @jrdepew  11 месяцев назад

      Never riden a T7 but sat on one. Toe reach was higher but not bad. I'm very comfortable with the DR650 but if picking up the T7 was about equal I would upgrade to it.

    • @jrdepew
      @jrdepew  11 месяцев назад +1

      It is bang for the Buck, solid, good shield vision and functional, but I’d take my Arai over it anytime. Just costs way more.

    "Toto, we're not in Oklahoma anymore" doesn't work so well. 🤔

    • @jrdepew

      Yeah, town (60 in 2020) sits on the State line. Pretty remote. Osage Nation all around there.
