Congratulations on this accomplishment, JR. It was an honor to follow along. I really enjoyed this series, and I am looking forward to the next. You are truly an inspiration- Best - -AL
Whow! I’m truly honored with comments like yours.
Heartwarming to see a father and son experiencing this together. I rode many a mile with my dad on trails in the Colorado mountains. He is now passed on but a video like this brings back the good memories of me and dad on the trail. Life is short, enjoy it while we can!
That is awesome! And sooo true.
Thanks for the ride JR.
You bet
It was nice following along with you on your travels. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and series. Thanks so much for taking us along with you.
Thank you so much 😊. More fun sharing with others!
Great job Brother... Love the Father & Son stuff. You had some frustrating things along the way. Good attitude. I love your home. Beautiful. Thanks for the smiles & inspiration. Like I said before. May GOD BLESS YOU EVEN MORE THAN HE ALREADY HAS... GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
Thank you. I’m grateful to have had Mike join me the last two big trips.
Sure hope to see on the trail some time... I really appreciate all the effort to make these Great Videos. Keep up the Great Work.
Thanks Depew for the inspiration.
Glad for it!
Great video, great series. A bit sad to see this adventure come to an end. I really enjoyed following each episode. Wishing you more awesome adventures this coming season. You have become for me an important source of inspiration for my motorcycle adventures. Thank you Joe! God bless your journeys. 👍
Man, so inspiring to hear that. I'm planning this summer rides now.
This was quite the journey! Enjoyed every bit of it.
Thanks soon much!
Thanks for sharing with us all. Quite the adventure. We have a lot to learn from your calm approach to all your trials and tribulations! Well done and happy trails to you!
Well, thanks for watching and kind words.
Thank you very much for the adventure and the advice.
You bet!
That was very enjoyable Joe. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Comments like this are rewarding enough for the efforts put in. It’s a pleasure to share the experience.
What a ride! Ready for the next one brother!!
Can't wait!
Nicely done and thanks for sharing. It was a pleasure to watch. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. Hopefully I will be riding the MABDR with my brother and a couple friends this summer. Have enjoyed following your channel and your adventures. It's a Blessing to enjoy this beautiful country.
MABDR is great and not hard. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed this series! The adventure, the attitude, the scenery, the camaraderie, and the inspiration! Hope to see you out on the road one day!
So rewarding to get comments like this. Would be a highlight to meet and thank in person.
It was a fantastic series. It's great to see you and your son having an adventure. By following your adventure you gave me the idea to ask my son if he was ready to take a motorcycle course and go on an adventure with me. And he accepted. He has started his motorcycle driving course and this summer we will go camping and visit sections of the BDR. You are a very good source of inspiration. I look forward to following your next adventure. Thank you and see you soon.
That’s awesome news. You will make great memories.
Thanks for taking us along! Been following you, Brock and Dan…chomping at the bit to do the TAT. Just need to arrange for the time off from work! Been doing smaller trips, planning for the bigger ones! Great job!
Keep on keeping on. Do what you can.
Doesn't take long to miss the trail when you get home... another great ride JR!!... hope to see more adventures from you in the future..
Thanks Dan! You know your right. Hopefully you're healing up.
That was a fun series to watch. Thanks for sharing . Hope to see you on the road. Cheers ~ Grizz
Thanks Grizz. I didn’t make it to Plush and beyond. Enjoying watching your run through there.
JR - that was an awesome journey. 👍
Glad you joined me!
What a great series! Enjoyed every minute of it. That may have been me in the background while you were changing your tire in Nashville (the siren in the background...NFD). Now you have friends near Nashville the next time you go through.
Cool!
When’s the next adventure, enjoy watching ya RIDE!
So many places to choose! Working on things involving my WR250… I think 🤔
Oh....I think I know what you're going to do...🤪🤫
AWESOME,is all I can say,thank you for sharing your great journey
Very appreciative of comments like yours. Thank you.
Another great video, you was in my neck of the woods in north west Arkansas, was riding my t700 north of oark last weekend, if you get back this way give me a shout and I’ll show you around the National forest, lost of great riding
Was surprised at the empty curvy roads I came across.
I’ll say it again, really enjoyed the series! Godbless!
A series watcher! Thanks so much. Always wonder who is following a series.
Good for you and a great end to the series. When you needed a tire, I wonder if you were near Corinth, MS. There is a well-stocked dealership there that took care of me with a tube when I was passing through. While I was there I learned that it was TAT Sam’s home dealership and they had one of his bikes in their informal bike museum that was also filled with other interesting specimens. Was fun to lay eyes on sam’s old XR600 kicker that he used to map much of the TAT. Anyway, next time you need a tire in that area, or anything else, it’s worth the detour.
I've heard good things of that dealership. Thanks for watching.
Well JR another trip in the bag. Good job. Hope to see you and Brock doing some riding in the future. Any idea’s of a new adventure ?
Thanks so much. Plans in the works include riding with Brock and…..?
Yay! Can’t wait 👍🏼
Great vid!
Thanks!
Such an inspiration! I’m new to ADV riding and had a question regarding your navigation. I noticed you are running a smartphone on your bars. Are you running a map app and importing files or something else? Not sure I want to commit to a Garmin at this point. Thanks for any advice you can offer!
It is a hard case waterproof android phone (Oukitel, China) used just for nav with Gaia GPS app and imported files.
@@jrdepew Thanks! Can’t wait to see your next adventure.
Great Adventure Riding. Fellow ADV rider please tell what chair goes with You.
Similar to this. a.co/d/aLvG5Tr
@@jrdepew Thanks
A lot of pavement on that TAT. What was the approximate breakdown/percentage of that TAT worthy of knobbies?
This video was on a portion of the TAT. Not exclusively as my intention was not to do nothing but the TAT. I did the entire Tat in 2019 west bound from Virginia and that is on my channel. The Tat through Arkansas is mostly mild grave forest/farm roads and probably 60% + paved.
How much weight were you carrying? I’ve been looking at minimalist options for moto camping and thinking about trading my KLR for a DR.
Haven’t weighed it but after years of use I am pretty minimal. Had a one person light tent this trip. My luxury is a chair!
I know this sounds weird but moto tire change on the trail is a talent that one needs to be competent in doing. I’m I right?
Yes. Otherwise small thing becomes much bigger.
