    Been riding dirtbikes for about 27 years, and sport bikes for 16. I've always wanted to get into dual-sport/adv. Been going through some dark times recently, but watching your videos has really rekindled that passion. I'm picking up my new Transalp tomorrow and I'm so excited. Thanks for being so influentially awesome and putting yourself out there.

    I’ve watched Dork for years. You have influenced me in many ways. I’m so happy to have this greater insight into your life and what makes you who you are.

    Thanks for the genuine humility in being open to your fans; there is a reason why we are fans of your channel and follow you on your excellent adventures. Keep camping and riding and falling and not using your inside voice; we'll keep cheering you on and laughing with you. Do Sinatra at your next karaoke; always a win!

    Always remember to keep your fun loving humble self. The humour while seeing and learning about adv stuff kept me coming back.

    When you put the cigar in backward I laughed so hard, but it wasn't because of what you did, it was because of what you said. "I'm not drunk, I'm just stupid." had me rolling on the floor. I have been there and done that. Just brought back too many memories.

    I’ve been watching your channel for a good while now. I watch them because I like them. The stuff you cover is relevant and interesting to me. Nobody can be all things to all people so don’t stress over the odd negative comment. Some people are not happy unless they are chopping some one and if it wasn’t you it would be someone else. Keep doing what your doing. Your passion for the sport is infectious 😀

    Grace and Ben I think it is just human for most of us to have a hard time shaking off the trolls. I have gotten comments on my comments and found it hard to just not respond to it. I think Everide was one of my first motorcyclist that I started watching back when he was just getting started and I agree with Ben about Tyler being the most honest straight forward fellow. Tyler from Everide was also a teacher before he went full time on TH-cam. Great pod cast! Keep them coming.

  • @paulgoldsmith4716
    @paulgoldsmith4716 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love podcast! I’ve been following Ben since the Africa twin, and I met Ben at giant loop 11. I drive for my job so I listen to a lot of podcasts. Definitely a great podcast. I like grace’s insights and find her interesting too! Keep it up! Hope to see them on the trails!

  • @richardstephens9647

    Great video! Hear that TH-cam? Great Video! Not too many people can talk about anxiety and camping and make it into a humor laced informative video that is uplifting. That when I knew I was a fan of a Dork In The Road. The Graceful Renegade comes through with frank, open and honesty that hits home. Intelligent, informative and inspiring. Oh and highly entertaining with motorcycles and friends. Cheers guys!

    I bought my ADV bike almost 2 years ago and I am sorry, but I just have lingered on the fringes of the community. Dork and Grace are the only two that I feel are in line with what I want to be part of. I'm gonna check Everide out though.
    The level of Gatekeeping I have encountered has turned me into a lone rider.
    I just want to have fun, ride safe, laugh and explore. I don't care what gear people prefer or what bike they have or what skill level they are or if they smoke a cigar backward as they have a drink after a good ride.
    I don't know Ben. However, his online persona is what I crave! Fun, excited, eager, flawed, vulnerable at times, accepting of everyone....that is what I want to be a part of.
    I am subscribed to hundreds of channels and over the years I have listened to thousands of videos while doing chores and work: Ben is the ONLY person I give a monthly amount because of what he brings to this community with this channel.
    I have a hobby now that my wife says "has become your personality" and I have nobody to enjoy it with. When I join a group and the first thing I get is someone laughing, who I don't know personally, because I bought the helmet I wanted and actually really like and he didn't like the brand of it. It's a good brand with good safety ratings...nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's because immediately comment on the pristine Krios he had?
    I just dropped out of the ADV groups online I was a part of and haven't ridden with anyone since because it felt like that crap is just rampant.
    I'm rambling, but thank you Ben and Grace for being my online riding buddies...that I can mute whenever I want!

    Dork, while I now live in Texas we have lots in common…grew up in Washington, worked at Safeway, finished college about 10 years after HS and became a teacher. Was away from bikes for over 30 years but recently got a 300L and am loving it. Thanks for all the helpful videos.

    I run a Men's group, where we Ride (small Adv bikes 300-450 only) on day trips, we then put the gear into hiking backpacks (the actual proper ones) the weights is about 30-50 kg Part of Ride 4 Therapy N Community. I spend a ton of money replacing the old van with a new VW Van Crafter (fits x 2 bikes + BBQ and seating out door gear) Normally the girls take turns in support have bike in the Van (still testing) Also some of the camping sites have been installing shipping containers as camp overnight sleepers.

    “I don’t want others to feel the things I’ve felt.” Man I try to live that everyday. Was super nerdy growing up in a sea of jocks. Got picked on a lot. Now the more outcast a person seems the more I try to befriend them.

    I have to say, I genuinely like this guy, I like his humility. I like his approach I like his personality. I’ll watch some of his videos, and I really have no interest in what he’s talking about but I know he’ll do it in a way, that’s pretty pleasant to watch.pretty cool getting to know a little bit more about him.

  • @kawabungah20
    @kawabungah20 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for this informative and entertaining content. There's not much I can add to all the positive comments, herein from the other dorks. You are inspiring and unique, my friend. It's been said many times, by various knowledgeable "motojournalists" through the years, that motorcyclists are a most compassionate, thoughtful and considerate lot. You and Grace stand as proof of this.

    As a fellow Travis, who rides and Africa Twin, I knew I liked Ben. I worked for Game Crazy in 2006, and we got 2 PS3's at launch. I was the first pre-order in 2005, but since I was an employee, I couldn't buy it. Soul crushing. Thanks for the great video, you two!

    Oh my God! I knew when Grace was going to be at the helm it was going to be a fantastic show! This podcast thing you have going is simply the most entertainment I could have without being on my bike. I love the Q&A interview about both of you guys and the history behind the "Why". Thanks Grace and Ben for this awesome Podcast!
    Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍🍺🍺

    Really enjoyed the past videos introducing you both who I already enjoyed watching. I’ve got to say thanks once again for the TH-cam isn’t fair video. Incredibly solid dose of reality for an amateur. Bravo and cheers to you both 🥃

  • @KosmicKorgi
    @KosmicKorgi 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Please! Please! Please! Do not listen to the trolls and their negativity! You are one of the greatest inspirations to ADV riding. I have been watching your channel for a long while now and it has been one of the best out there. If you and Grace do see this I had an Idea I think would be really awesome! You all could do like a special podcast and add Travis with the addition of "Bottom Sprocket" which has Spite, Whitney, and Josh! Their podcast is super cool too! You all could talk about the Hawk and other Moto stuff!

    @beetfarmer8933 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So many TH-camrs/journalist are to picky and finicky. They review beautiful brand new bikes and immediately nit pick every little detail about the bike. You reasonable review these bikes from a normal guys perspective. You are relatable, entertaining and you genuinely do inspire and educate us viewers. Your BDR trips are some of my favorite videos on TH-cam. Your friend camping trips are hilarious. Ride your bikes, share the beautiful places you visit and add in some conversation and I'm a happy Dork Fan.

Wish I would have found your channel sooner! You are lucky to have a friend like Grace, I had a friend like that unfortunately he decided his life was not worth anything and took it.

    I watch your videos because I feel you to be a kindred spirit. The passion you have for riding and motorcycles is contagious. You’re not afraid to let anyone see your lovable, goofball side. You have a quick, sarcastic wit, with a sense of humor that embraces the dark and a little twisted. I find you to be genuine and sincere. I know that you would never mislead anyone, so, that is why I watch and look forward to every new video. I love this collaboration with Grace. I feel that she has the same sincerity, honesty and passion that you do and, lets face it bro, Grace is a whole lot easier on the eyes!
    Just saying…
    All kidding aside, I love you both. You are my absolute favorites on TH-cam! Ride safe and be excellent to each other!

    @Brokenlogic2898 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Talking shi over here grace 🎉🎉 no I jest and honestly I love that you guys both try to show us the experience bias that let's us know where why and how your opinion and vew is created. It's one of the reasons I actually give some credence to your guys' stuff. I love the promotion of treatment and general vibe you guys have, and most of all, I love that you guys both generally promote safely and live it. I love that Ben is a middle-aged fat guy working to be a better you because, it makes me feel like I can do more than I believe I can as a middle-aged fat guy working to be a better me. Lastly, I hope you both never give into negative vibes. I struggle with depression ect and I know it's easy to lose to the occasional negative even in the face of the constant positive influence. So don't give into the trolls ain't no intelligence in their words, and we all back you positively in hopes it will help. P.s. I loved the Mr puff puff reversal moment I don't enjoy them myself but, have done things of equal insanity regularly and don't feel it's a negative thing at all more of a real to life moment that brings that feel to your content which at the end of the day I think is a big factor in why we all love it ❤ watch it❤ and like it❤ oh and grace is here sometimes too so ❤❤❤ there's that but no creepiness intended on that sorry. Why do my posts seem to get long? I'll never know, but be eternally sorry but thankful to everyone who reads them. 😅

    Thank you for your presence, and the effort you put into your content. Don't fret the Green Meanies, pity them. They must have pretty hollow personal lives. Social media seems to be a place where they can do their worst. Out in the real world and in the field, I have never had a bad encounter. If you have two wheels, you are a welcome member of the Motorcycle family. I can be on my Royal Enfield INT650, my CRF250L, or my most popular motorcycle by far, a 51-year-old 1972 Honda CT90 Trail --- it doesn't matter. Always good times with good people. Happy Trails from Deschutes County, Bend, OR

    Until you run your own business (of any type), you don't realize how much works, including (especially) meaningless boring stuff which need to get done in order to show off to the world the final product.
    I, am very aware of how much you work.. And I enjoy everyone of your video, some more than others. But I appreciate the work that goes into it.

      She's not even in the thumbnail so how exactly is it clickbait?
      It may shock you to learn that it's possible to be both attractive and intelligent. If you listened to anything she said, you'd realize that pretty quickly.
