    I just recently found your channel. I have to say that not only do I enjoy the content, you are inspiring me. I will turn 65 in a month. I have a Harley and a Suzuki vstrom. I had a klr 650 some years back. I have done several 2 week camping trips on my Harley, but nothing in the last 5 years or so. I have some back problems that have made me afraid of your type of riding. I have done physical therapy but can’t seem to shake my problem. Watching your adventures have inspired to start over. I have appointment next month to try and figure out what can be done to shake my fear off. I have discussed with my wife that if I can get improvement, that I may buy another bike such as what you ride, because of the weight savings over my current rides. Thanks again for the inspiration.

      So inspired by you! I hope you can get back to Adventure riding and at least improved mobility.

      Try a channel called "My Senior Moments" if you want more inspiration from another cool "advanced" rider that has some serious physical challenges but "keeps on keepin' on" J.R.'s a true inspiration for us all...

    That transition from NM to OK, or vice versa is pretty distinct. It’s almost like sneaking through OK’s back door. NM is a real eye-opener heading west, a gateway to the fun stuff.
    Another good vid. Thanks, JR.

    I really enjoy your laid back content and delivery. At 68 yrs young, last thing I need is some hype about riding over my limits, cause I’ll get sucked into the ego vortex. Ha, Ha. Been riding since I was 9, all dirt until my late twenties, then only street until now, just picked up a 1992 DR 650 that needs some TLC. See ya on the road.
    Thanks again.

    Joe, wasn't sure how to pass this on to you. But.... There is a young guy that gives you a huge shout-out and credits you for keeping him riding after he had a tough crash. His RUclips channel is "BrandMan Story's" Motorcycle post Crash fear is the name of his video.

    • @jrdepew

      Thank you so much. I am occasionally in touch with @Brandman but haven't seen this new video yet. He is very good rider and videographer.
