    Awesome JR, thank you for the time and effort you put into this no BS (secret film crew, pro production), no commercial-intent ride through our beautiful country. I am in the PNW and plan to ride the WA BDR. We are also probably of close ages, so that motivates me too. Thank again. -Al in Seattle

    I've viewed a lot of trip reports JR and I have to say yours is up there with the best. No nonsense, no hero riding on dirt bike single track, you captured the essence of what touring in the west is all about. I'm subscribed and looking for more!

Last year I rode down the Great Divide to Mexico from Canada and back on the BDR trails with 5 Arthur riders. Three KTM and two DR650 I Riding a DR. We did 9500 miles 34 days what a great ride.

You also have caused me to subscribe to all these pleasant depictions of foolhardy living on a motorcycle. Thank you and keep at it, I have enjoyed every minute you posted!

      @@jrdepew Your videos and adventure has been inspirational to may as I am roughly your age and recently retired. I ran the TAT from East to West last Summer ending in CO. Would like to go back and finish this Summer, but your route seemed enticing. Would you be able to share your route? Would you suggest a route from Denver to the West Coast that would be equal to the TAT? Probably will trailer the bike and jump off from CO, do ou have any thoughts on a safe place to leave truck and trailer ie local campground? Thanks for your time....Kevin

    • @jrdepew
      @jrdepew  ปีที่แล้ว

      The best part of the TAT is from CO westbound. If you use GPSkevins TAT tracks they take a route into Nevada from Utah and Sam Correro’s go north into Idaho with less sand. My route in the videos was a hodgepodge of several tracks and wouldn’t mesh with a TAT to the coast. I have a two part TAT series on my channel. Check out that second one runs from Rockies to Oregon coast through south Idaho. If you haven’t done so, join the TAT FB page and get some intel there on parking etc. it’s an adventure for sure.
