Another Great Show... I always look forward to the next episode. You & Itchy Boots are at the top of the list... My Brother & I have recently got back into Motorcycling & are planning some trips. Thanks for the inspiration... May God Bless You even more than already has...

[@jrdepew]

So cool to have a brother to ride with. thanks for watching.

[@TheWinger1008]

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

[@jrdepew]

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

I’m very gratified that people are enjoying the video content, so thanks for watching and letting me know. Whow, South Africa, very cool.

[@Hogdriver88]

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

[@RGB872]

Thanks again. I appreciate you sharing your adventures.

[@jrdepew]

Glad you like them!

[@RubiKonAdventures]

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

Nice job on this video guys, have a DR650 I'm outfitting to do stuff like this myself. Thanks for posting this.

[@jrdepew]

Cool, thanks!

1:35 It's like the penny dish at the gas station.
"If you need one, take one. If you don't, leave one."

[@jrdepew]

I tried that here. Doesn't work out as will be seen!

[@emfl4437]

Another great episode, your moto-adventures are awesome

[@jrdepew]

Thank you. Fun to share them.

[@TheClintmeister]

The whole part of Eastern Okla is great undiscovered riding areas!

[@TheClintmeister]

August is miserable in Okla.

[@jrdepew]

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

[@jrdepew]

True!

[@DWBmotorsports]

Awesome video. Can’t wait until I can do the TAT myself

[@jrdepew]

Go for it!

[@PSBEadventures]

Love it man!!!

[@jrdepew]

Glad you like it!

[@alainmaurice5383]

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]

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.

[@kaseyod113]

I live in Tulsa. Enjoyed your video! How do you like that Bell visor helmet? Been thinking about getting one.

[@jrdepew]

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.

[@jasonmellor8069]

Great video as always, you even make Oklahoma look good. Cool ghost town

[@jrdepew]

Thanks a ton!

[@mell8831]

👍🏼JR!!

[@jrdepew]

Yo!

[@painsrides]

"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.

[@johnrussell9080]

Dam people cutting thier grass and blowing it in the streets...they should be fined big time....

[@jrdepew]

Hah!
