Oh my gosh that sand would be tricky. Curious to know how many times you dropped it? I dropped my bike once on my foot and the handlebar landed on the MTP joint of my big toe and it felt sprained for about two months after that. Hopefully your ankle heals up fast.

That 's my boots! Love em. I bought mine from a European company, shipped to USA for less than $600.

I bet if you loosened up your grip in the sand and let your handlebars lead the way you would make better progress! Enjoying your adventures!

As always, your editing skills are top notch!

We don’t wanna get too much of it on us 😂

I'm in my late 50s and have lived by one rule. Never, ever give up. No matter how painful it is you don't stop moving forward. This rule has almost killed me twice but I made it. Life is too short to " come back to it later ". That's just how I live and it takes a lot of effort. Sprained ankle, blown out shoulder, or dislocated finger it doesn't matter, keep going. I have always remembered this quote from a movie. “Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.” ― Sean Connery Everyone is different, I get that but when you question yourself remember, you can accomplish the most difficult things if you set you mind and body to it. You made a KZfaq channel that kicks ass! I have made changes to my riding for the better because of your guidance. Don't ever give up keep going no matter how painful it is.

Well, The Florida I live at is Not flat or boring as this Video

A bit more aggressive tires would make this a lot more pleasurable ride

Did you have your clear visor?

Rode sand in FL pan handle on my FZ-07. Definitely don't want to do it again, but it did make me realize my next bike was going to be an ADV bike (23 Tiger 900 RP)

Hope that foot feels better 😮

Fuck that sand.. we will pick it back up in Macon next time. Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, GA opens at 11am.. we'll want to be there around 10:30 or so

6:57 Beau reminds us how it looked when he hit the Drink in Franklin

5:41 ol Dong backing Dat Ass up lol

First!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm totally a fan of Doodle, she is actually the very first motovlogger I ever subscribed to. Her channel has grown so much since I first started watching her in 2020. I really enjoy how down to earth she is and like you said, she shares the good with the bad and is very relatable.

I have a Atlas 3.0 and I felt it was overpriced but it is a solid helmet. Besides the price, the visors quality sucks though. Not even a 6 inch drop and the visor cracked SMH. I usually wear it when I ride my Harley and its one of the most comfortable helmets I ever owned.

I Love Doodle !!!

I will most likely be picking up a 2022 Rally w/4k on it, b/c it already has the both upper / lower crash bars and side pannier racks. The 7k price difference between it and the new 24 is a big deal for me, since I'm coming from a KLR650 (which was a great bike). As long as I can switch off Traction Control, I'm good. Good Review!

Approve of your dance moves!

That bag packing job at the beginning was Type 1. Pack faster!

I will never forget years ago riding a fairly new Honda XR650L. I had cool gear and some decent experience. Then, I get passed on the trail by a guy on a Harley. I think like an old sportster. Denim, no helmet, just go along like it’s no big deal. I was humbled, but also couldn’t stop laughing.

Man, I have tried, and often failed at many new things and hobbies. When I happen upon an expert, I listen to them. But, I make my own decisions. So, I take whatever they say with a grain of salt. Allot of times they are just trying to put their insecurities upon you. I don’t get too upset about it, they usually don’t even know they’re doing it.

Glad this was shared with me. Keep up the great videos.

I feel everyone should show the hard times and be like hey, there is a better way to do xyz I just told to do it yzx... both can end with the same result one just might be a little bit more difficult. I always am open to learning how to do the one thing I have done for decades a better way. if it is faster, more effective and efficient sure. I am down. but to say you are not a certain type of person because you did not go the path not chosen is DUMB. It takes one person to try that, and if it is successful many will follow and you should help guide them give them tips tricks or possibly even tools to do it better, safer, faster etc. not hide in a dark whole and keep coming out of the shadows and be like WRONG jackass... and move on without even a hint as to what could have been done or what they can do to get it done. anyway, keep up the fun vids, keep showing people all these amazing things, and keep pushing people to come through the door to explore rather than other who just like to slam things in other peoples faces. cheers.

Right on, man - glad we could share some Type 1 and Type 2 fun!!

I'm getting a 509 street helmet commander v carbon,with Bluetooth and com,with voice commands an controllable with the app

Love it!

If you're having fun doing something new, you should not listen to what the gatekeepers say, unless possibly when it comes to safety

Ah the gatekeepers, or as I refer to them... The Sentry. "Sentry" origins derive from Centrinel (circa late 1500s) whose task was to provide protective order and function inside a sanctuary. Our sanctuary being Motorcycling, modern day Sentries feel the need for everyone in the community to display a similar pattern, appearance, and method. Most of these sentries have all the gear, and no idear. Be careful how you choose your coffee beans.

Looks so freaking fun!

I'm a new people at this and these videos help a lot.

Well said

The hardest part of any new hobby is finding the right people to enjoy it with and give poignant advice when you have questions. I think I lucked up with finding some good riding buddies. If anything, I am the biggest asshole out of the bunch.

"I'm the keymaster, are you the gatekeeper?!" (Ironically... I'm quoting Ghostbusters)

can i know seat height for this bike?

I got the same helmet, the XT9000. What did you do to combat the intense pressure point on your forehead? I love the helmet and its my only problem!

Based, balanced, informative & fairly comprehensive from a real perspective...your channel deserves more views. If you never hear from me again, all the best in your future endeavours. Great info, thanks.

We live in a time when I feel gratitude whenever I find a video actually dealing with the question I'm searching for informed answers on, and the creator is not a partisan asshole. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yes, subbed.

I get not wanting to wait behind a bus to turn right but cutting through a parking lot to make a turn is a douche move.

Doodle is awesome

Are they true to size?

Alpinestars Tec7 Drystar??

Love the video man!!!! Liked the pov on the ride. Ride looked real nice. Glad you made it. Till next year ride.Shout out to DGR.

Spelled like EOX and pronounced like EOS according to Ruroc. 🤷 I WISH Ruroc would launch a modular version. That is all. I have the Carbon Nebula 4.0 and love it!

Doodle is bubbly. Smiles a lot.

Sport bike rider sits leaning forward, helmet facing slightly downward so the sun is blocked by the brow area of the helmet. Tall chin guard doesn’t interfere with lower vision because the helmet is tipped downward and you can see over it. Adv. rider sits upright so peak helps block the sun. Use a sport helmet sitting too upright and the sun is blinding at the top of the face shield and a tall chin guard blocks downward visibility. That’s why Adv. helmets have an oversized field of vision & peak.

Does it have Also different Shell sizing???

Super cool video, Beau! Glad you were able to come out and ride!

Great video dude. I'm glad you're here even after all the trials and tribulations you've experienced. I attended the 2018 DGR in Houston and it was an amazing experience. I really need to get my bikes up and running to do it again
