NEBDR Section 4. The technical parts going North & South_ 4K

- We completed Section 4 of the NEBDR during the June 2024 heatwave. Since torrential rainfall was forecasted further north, we chose to turn around and ride the same section south.
Lots of extended technical areas, and so far, this has been my favorite section of the NEBDR.
We're riding a 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R and a 2022 KTM 690 Enduro R.

Just want to say I really enjoy your videos! I'm based in Williamsburg Brooklyn and have taken my '23 890R 10,000 miles out west last summer on the CO, WY, ID, WA, OR, CA, NV, UT, and AZ BDR's and this year have done the NEBDR. I really appreciate the videos you post. It's extra nice to see you chasing your brother on a lighter single through the slick rough stuff. You guys are like gorillas in the mist! What track is this? I love seeing someone else riding this bike like it was made to be ridden.
Keep it up man, there are people out there like me enjoying what you post here!
"gorilla's in the mist" haha….
I chopped the video together from a bunch of sections, so not sure of the exact location. We’ve been talking about taking our bikes out west. Did you drive them or trailer them? I keep getting fed videos on Black Bear Pass, so now I want to try it.
I'm in Manhattan and run a spot called The Flatiron Room. Swing by sometime, and we can share stories.
@@TommyT888 I took my 890R in my pickup truck to Farmington, NM in early July and did a big loop, not coming back to get my truck until about 3 months later. I do lighting for movies and TV and the writers and actors went on strike for almost 6 months, shutting down our industry almost entirely. So I made the most of the time and camped off my motorcycle for as long as I could, just going where the wind and the weather took me... Which turned out to be some of the most amazing places in the western United States...
The COBBDR is pretty tough on a big bike. The low tanks of the 890 helped for sure and absorbed the crashes well. Good training and packing ultralight will help quite a lot. It's BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEIOUS though! Once you're into the Alpine Loop from Ophir or Cinnamon Pass you have all kinds of options to choose your own adventure and then make it back onto the BDR if you want to. Colorado has some of the most epic, challenging and rewarding dirt tracks, depending on the time of year and if the snow has melted enough to traverse the passes. Mid-July last summer, Ophir had just opened and Hagerman Pass didn't open for another week or two. Expect snow melt to turn part of the trails into creeks. Again, pack light and give yourself a couple days of riding to get acclimatized. to the altitude.
I spent 3 weeks on and off the BDR in Colorado and fell in love. Also, still some of the hardest riding I've done including UT and other western states. If you go with a buddy, you'll both have a blast and be there for each other during the inevitable drops and crashes.
After Colorado, I would have to recommend Moab as the next destination. It's another off-road WONDERLAND! You can plan day rides or week long rides incorporating the BDR. It's absolutely EPIC riding!
Chris Birch's Say No To Slow video coaching series helped me prepare so much for that 10,000 mile trip.

As a side note, even after doing a 6000 mile BAJA trip earlier in '23 I still was overloaded at the start of my trip. I ended up shaving things down to 40 pounds total of luggage for 3 months. With an ultra light tool kit and spares, reducing clothes and food and stuff can quickly add up. Keeping the weight tight to the bike and down low, mass centralization, all helps. Now I do weekend trips ultralight and it pays dividends in the handling of the bike and less fatigue at the end of the day. You really don't need much,; it's not like you're traveling in Siberia!
Great current status video as I'm headed up the NEBDR starting Sunday. Were these the 'Alt hard' technical portions of section 4, or the technical parts of the main route? Thanks!
A lot of what you see are the more challenging sections. You'll recognize that you're about to enter a more challenging part when the map shows the "Easy" section as an alternative. But nothing is overly technical - I'm an average rider and managed just fine.
Im pretty sure i saw you guys this past week, i was on my ktm 350 you guys rode past me Thursday morning from gorham nh i believe.
We never made it up to NH unfortunately. We made it to Barnard, VT, and came back down.
What tires are you guys running on the 690 stock tc80 ?
@@JustRiding-o5m MotoZ Tractionator on both bikes. They are great!
@@TommyT888 thank you I have a 701 getting ready for new tires
