Awesome video. I've been taking my sons fishing on the Telico since they were little. My dad took me when I was a kid. I have kayaked the Hiawasee river a million times in college. I recognized so many of the places in these videos. Seeing the riders all over those roads are what got me into riding. I can't wait to get my bike over there.
I just noticed you actually wear your Spot on your jacket as a Ranger I wanted to say THANK YOU for using your head I see so many people mount these on the motorcycle it is a worthless piece of equipment on the bike . Be Safe ""RIDE ON""
He and I talked. He was thankful that he was alive. I’m that moment he realized that all material possessions are meaningless. We had a great conversation. Glad he survived it.
Heading on gravel, to Sage Hen Res. "Idaho", for an Overnighter, when outa somewhere, merged a young cow and i ricocheted off from it, but stayed upright. A few miles down the road, I noticed my "stuff" on the back didn't look the same. Stopped and discovered I had a melted bungee and "no sleeping bag". A buddy found it and said,... "Yeah, but it's got a hole in it." it too, was a melted, crusty, mess. Brand new melted bag, used that one night and then, it went straight into the dumpster.
Ah man. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s happened to me more than once now. I have started keeping extra bags in storage to replace them quickly if needed. Not fun. But it makes good stories … it’s An adventure.
I’ve met that guy and his German Shepherd’s several times while out riding. he moves around living off grid super nice guy I always stop and chat with him.
Loving your videos man. I'm new to ADV riding. Just bought a 390 Adventure at Sloans last month. I live down in Manchester near Bonaroo. I'd love to ride sometime. Hit me up if you ever want to come down and cruise some of these beautiful Coffee county roads or up on Monteagle. I don't know anyone near me who ADV rides. That Elote looked like Mas Tacos in East Nashville. Keep up the awesome work. Love the scripture at the end.
Hello Brother Brock! Let's Dance! I am enjoying these videos so much, and I have been watching them so much for the scenes and the education that one of my dreams last night was me on a motorcycle! 🤣 I enjoy our Father's creation through your eyes, your team, and others. Thank you and God bless your week!
Great videos! Please give some details how you plan routes and which maps you use. I've ridden my GS all over the country but new to off road adventures.
Hey Bob. I find maps that people are offering or selling. Many of them are free. Some are not. I Google search for dual sport and adventure maps and find things in different areas. I use garmin basecamp to organize the GPX files and load onto the gps unit. Just talking to people you find places to ride. That’s what I do a lot. Thanks for watching my videos. That means a lot to me that you enjoy those.
Hi Brock, long time haha.. (still experiencing adventure though) Love the American trails you ride. Just awesome. But not sure about the snake in the intro..😯 Anyhow, keep it coming😂. Ride safe. Cheers from Norway✌
Hey hey! Good to hear from you. The snake will make an appearance on the next video. Yea. We are still on the adventure. Still hope to come to Norway someday.
Hey, love your videos! Could you help with a question? I see you have a KTM dual sport, on big trips that rack up a lot of miles, how do you do service? Do you carry oil or plan to be in a spot where you can service the bike? Thanks!
I can go a long way before I have to change oil. Service in this bike is super easy. The exact 500 is an amazing choice for long rides. Glad you are loving these vids. Let’s ride
This has me absolutely intrigued. Whats the longest mileage trip you’ve made in a day and how does that coincide with service intervals for your KTM there ???
For the Ktm 500 we do 150-180 miles per day. Service is done befor and after a long trip Air filter is checked daily to make sure it isn’t dirty. I have found the Ktm 500 to be the most robust bike. It’s my go to for most dual sport stuff these days. Have never had an issue
@@MotoMission. that’s awesome to hear. I’ve been looking for something similar for this exact dual sport platform for this almost overland type of riding with going to a true adv style bike
If you want to be aggressive and have a bike you can really rip them there isn’t a better bike. If you just want to do dual sport and have fun then there are lots of great options. What I love about the Ktm 500 is it’s a dirt bike that I can throw around on dirt and it’s street legal. I ride mostly dirt. And lots of public roads. I also ride single track. This bike does it all and does it well. I have a bigger bike for adv riding
@@MotoMission. yes I’ve noticed some of your videos seem to be an 890 adventure r. Also the exact model I had been scoping as well in contrast to more of a dirt bike style.
we were shocked to find this man alive. he is lucky to be alive.

No way.. that’s cool. But seriously you gotta go ride w us on the smokies

Hey hey. Thanks for your comment. I think you are right. I like it at that spot. It feels safer. Always close to me.
Thats funny!!!! You ran into my neighbor on the trail... Great vids!!!
No way! Haha
That's such a bad fortune for the older man....Hope everything got better for him..
He and I talked. He was thankful that he was alive. I’m that moment he realized that all material possessions are meaningless. We had a great conversation. Glad he survived it.
Beautiful countryside, so lush and green. Merci for the outro!
Thank you my friend. Truly a beautiful region.

Oh really? That’s crazy. Well he is lucky to be alive. We had a great chat. Nice fella.
I would’ve stuck around and seen the vintage Harley. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah it was way down the hill.

Thanks for saying hello
watch out for them pitt bulls bro!!! hahaha
I need pit bull repellent
im glad him and his puppies were ok. i wonder what kind of Harley was on that trailer?
Not sure what it was. I never saw it
Wow! He’s so lucky!! And to have a bike on the trailer…. He seemed ok, what a shame.
Not having a good day.
@@MotoMission. definitely not
Good times Brock! Enjoyed running to y’all! Hope to catch up and ride together sometime!
Crazy one. Great to meet you. Let’s do it again soon
Dude. You are a magnet for people who need help.
Haha. The right time right place. Let’s ride
What failed on the SwiftKicker side stand?
Gotta ask David. I think he lost a screw
Chalk that up for, " tales of crazy stuff seen on the back roads" haha good ridding though
I hear ya. So crazy.
Have you seen my Ophir pass video ?
Watch this one. Full crazy.

@@MotoMission. I'll check it out ... been watching your Greece vids.. 👍🏻

Love the videos!! Any chance you know the name of the Air-b-n-b y’all stayed at in Robbinsville? It looks perfect for my crew. Ride safe.
It was called ‘home away “
HomeAway
Lemme know how it goes. It was a great place to stay
This has me absolutely intrigued. Whats the longest mileage trip you’ve made in a day and how does that coincide with service intervals for your KTM there ???

@@MotoMission. yes I’ve noticed some of your videos seem to be an 890 adventure r. Also the exact model I had been scoping as well in contrast to more of a dirt bike style.
That 890 is an excellent adv bike capable of much more than I ever expected.
Do you have any down loadable GPS trax for this ride Brock?
I don’t own it. But easy to find if you Google it. Look for the Smokey mountain 500 GPX
Looks like y’all are having a blast out there!!!
Absolutely. Go with us next time
@@MotoMission. I would love to! But you’d be waiting on meet at the next stop for awhile!!!
@@Motoramblings haha. We will wait
@@MotoMission. then it’s a deal!😂😂
What’s going on…you said dog instead of pittbull. I hope you will not say coffee instead of cappuccino 😂😂😂. Tks for the great video, really enjoyed.
Yeah I was confused. Maybe feeing ill:)
@@MotoMission. 😂😂😂…you’re right, in this video, no pittbull or cappuccino so you might be sick….
And you cannot be sick as you make my days with your videos.
@@FrancoisTX1974 the cure to this disease is more riding. Doctor said so. So…let’s ride
Dude, those were not pitbulls, not even close. lol
Ahhhhh mayyybe. Might need to check again. Hopefully you will see all the pit bulls on my other videos.
pitbulls?🤣
Gotta be careful of dem pit bulls
I gave my girl a ride she melted her shoes.
No bueno
