A couple of buddies and I from SW Arkansas rode the Smokey Mt 500 3 days before Helene hit the area. Bout the same time you were riding it, we rode it and then went up and rode the MidAtlantic BDR. I am a kidney transplant survivor of 21 years ,!! Everyday is a blessing ! Keep on keeping on brother!!
Good you feel guilty riding with out your wife Greg, means you love her. I ride a 990 and wife a Cb500x or her dr 200 when she can't go I feel bad too. Great video man.
I am in TN Greg, this looks like my neighborhood, only the roads are in much better shape! Looks like a lot fo fun, sorry you were struggling with being away from the wife! - Frank
Hang in there, don’t let that boogie man depression in. You’re doing great. I know it’s really bad for folks right now. You need not feel guilty for feeling good and being out doing what you love doing. You’ve come a long way in a short time.
Thanks man. It's definitely been a struggle lately. I've had a lot change in my life and I'm trying to figure out how to deal with it and be happy as I can be at the same time.
Hey Greg, your content is never boaring at all man, I love what you do on here. I bet if you had the Timmy with you, you guys would be smashing it as usual. I wish I could ride with you guys sometime. I am new at this and put some money down on my first adventure bike last month, waiting for it to get here. In the meantime am gathering gear, lol.
Tray Mountain was my very first off road ride, it sold me on this sport. I have never seen another bike there, but I’m sure that will change now that it’s part of the “X”. I’ll be up in that area in just over a week, hoping to ride the route and break in my camping gear.
As always. Another great video Brother. By the way. I bought a 2022 Benelli 502 x instead of the KTM. I couldn't pass it up. I gave only $2,500 for it. The guy was moving over seas and had to sell it ASAP. He told me if I could come and get it that night, I could have it for $2,500 cash. So I took a road trip to Indiana and bought it lol. Hope to see you out on the trail sometime. Be safe.
@@TheBeardedGrump I'm very impressed with it. I got to looking real close at it. Every bolt on it has a white mark. I looked it up and that's one of the requirement of Benelli is to triple check everything before it's sent out to be sold. Even though it's made in China. Benelli is over the final product and design of the Bike. Like I say. I'm very impressed with it. I have a Benelli over & under 12 ga. that was handed down to me by my Father. It was given to him by my Grandpa. My grandpa got it back in WWII from a person that he was staying with when he was over seas. They gave it to him because they liberated them and that's all they had to say thank you. To this day the gun looks as if it were made yesterday. Benelli is known for making great products and the bike is a true testament to that. Just with it had a little more power though lol.
You are about 40 minutes from me on Tallulah River Rd - really should get together man. I was down in Walhalla this past week riding all along 107 and 28.
@@TheBeardedGrump I'm the dude with the 890 Adventure R. I contacted you several months ago, I think about the time you were getting back at it after your back injury.
@@toml1446 around here when the leafs start changing colors there's a lot of people that go to the mountains to look at them. We call that leaf looker season lol

In my opinion this part of section 3 is the best part of the BDR-X that I rode. Final Episode coming soon. Thanks for watching.

Awesome! I'm glad you still get to get out and enjoy life! I plan to keep on keeping on and I hope you do the same. 👊

I definitely love her. She doesn't mind me going but sometimes it's hard to shake that guilty feeling. Thanks and thanks for watching 👊
Super cool video series. Well done.
Thanks Jake 👊
One time doing the SM500 I was feeling the same way and I decided to go back home. I know exactly how you feel brother

@@OneOldManRiding all those areas look similar. I've been struggling a little bit lately but slowly getting back to normal.

It's a good area to ride and camp in. I'm looking forward to getting back up that way. I hope you have a good time on your trip 👊

We have to try and make that happen.

Are the trails still there after the destruction from the hurricane?
I haven't been up that way since the storm but I've had a few comments on here saying everything around that area is ok.
Thanks and live your vids. I’m gonna plan to do some tiding up there then and check it out and keep the support coming for the area.
@TheBeardedGrump Thanks for the quick response.
It was my question too.
Love your videos by the way
@@francisantony12 no problem. Thanks! I really appreciate it 👊
Did the Wyoming BDR complete and didn't miss wife a bit lol
I've been on a lot of moto trips and I usually don't either but couldn't shake the guilty feeling on this one.
You may have talked about it in the initial video but what tires did you run on you KTM for this trip?
@@jeffga3305 I run Motoz Duel Ventura front and Tractionator Adventure rear.
What SatNav are you using and do you like it?
Carpuride W702. Yeah I like it. Here's the first impressions video I did on it.

@@TheBeardedGrump thanks!
did you say "leaf licker season"? and if so when is that?
I said leaf looker but leaf licker is probably more accurate 😂
@@TheBeardedGrump the best par was I meant to type "looker" but got some wires crossed in the brain because of a video game I used to play lmfao.
