Nice job on your videos man! I saw your N Georgia and North Carolina stuff is cool. We have our suspension shop in Asheville. I have ridden around Ocala forest a good bit, I am impressed seeing you ride in the soft sand. My Transalp is very new so I’m really loving it. We built a new shock and fork upgrades and while the Honda is good, there are some big improvements. I wish I could do videos like yours.
@@cogentdynamics thanks a bunch! I enjoyed my transalp but it was just missing some key features I like. You know I worked with a suspension shop up there before. Adreani up in Hendersonville
(First portion) Just sand patches and real dirt/clay/rock makes me think this is Blackwater River State Park? Best riding in FL for big bikes. Ocala NF is also nice, but mostly sand.
Awesome video and awesome channel. Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us. I live in north Florida and can attest to all the sand. It is not fun. I envy those riders in middle and north Georgia :-)
Hey man! You have a set of bikes the style of which I am considering, the smaller 300L and a midsize/larger adventure bike for more tour/road focus. I’m falling in love with the 24 Tiger 900 as my larger bike, but is there a reason you went with the AT over a new Tiger? I’ve flipped back and forth between both.
I live in Lake City FL. (where interest 10 crosses75) been riding over in Osceola National Forest the last 15 years. Great local trails. Do you live in Jaxs? What Honda dealer do you recomend, they all seem to be rip off RideNows now days.
Absolutely it is lol, I've got the same bike as him (2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES) and the stock tires are absolutely trash grade in sugar sand. Anything else is serviceable if you're comfortable enough to let the rear end just whip and dance. Too many people are afraid to let it have power under less than 100% traction, and go super slow on dirt or trails. Consequently, it's why you see so many inexperienced trail riders on these dropping them 😂
SMDSR- Moto mission with Brock Gill; recently had the same experience. Lost, constantly trying to get out of new neighborhood development. Then lots of sketchy sand. Then he nearly ran out gas trying get past flooded swamps.
I think they call the road substrate "cochena" or something like that. It's mined and is made from crushed shells from thousands of years ago or something like that.
Beautiful Video Thankyou. I have the same bike as you and I cannot wait to go find some roads like this. I wouldn't take a cyber truck as a gift though let alone pay for one. Just ugly.

Wouldn't this be less about what big adventure bike you're on, and more about rider ability and tire choice?
