Isn't that a KTM 990 in the garage? Assuming it's your bike, wouldn't a Yamaha T7 be kind of redundant? New bikes are great, but...990's are a beast.

The calfs were probably new born, males are taken immediately and left to die hence tide up outside so someone we'll come a dispatch them or left to die as they will die very quickly as they do not get any milk...

Hmm, interesting about the GPX files I’ll have to pay more attention next time where I source those. Awesome shot of the storm behind you

After seeing how much of a fight a big bike treated you I’ll be getting a 350 duel sport goodbye 500

I'd for sure get a good screenshot with the storms behind you and print it out, that was pretty cool.

Did you share the routing issues with the TAT creator? Might help him improve the TAT for future travelers. Impressive mileage on the T7 - built to last for sure👍

Pretty entertaining video and it looked like a nice ride. Strangely enough I really don't mind riding in the rain through the woods. The highway though is a completely different matter. Thanks.

What was the date of this footage? Mentioning the date provides context for us trip planners looking to do the same route. Many thanks for providing the excellent video.

I was with E Co 94th in the first 2 deployments. Stationed at laghman in Afghanistan and falcon in Baghdad

Poultry farms are a big industry here and Tyson's or George's (turkeys) own them all.

Nice vid. Interesting backstory on the TAT, GPS files files etc. if you haven't seen the interview with Sam linked from ADV's front page, he mentioned certain groups of people who live in and around the TAT got annoyed with all the motorcyclists passing through they got together to create signage that made it *appear* the TAT route was going through private property when it was not. It's unclear whether they gated or otherwise impeded the route. Not sure if you encountered that? Can't remember which state, possibly TN.

Curious, you said you have issues with Sam's route and how he put it together. Do you have a better cross country route?

With the riding that you do, how often do you replace/clean the air filter on your adventures?

You missed Great Plains Bunk house in Boise City and Oark Grocery in western Arkansas

lol, uhhhh these are public roads, no one should have any “rights” to public roads on a gpx file. Ridiculous.

The GDMBR was created in the late 90s by the Adventure Cycling Association. Their paper maps are very detailed and worth having as much as a collector item as much as a nav tool. GPS tracks of the GDMBR (and the modified version for the cycling race now known as the Tour Divide) are freely available all over the internet. A lot of bikepackers have contributed to route knowledge, info, and GPX files over the years. Those cycling-centric tracks would need to be modified for moto use. One nice thing about the bikepack files is that so far, nobody has taken the work of the ACA and tried to re-sell it - although people have tried to monetize their work in other ways. Anyway, interesting conversation about the GPS files. ✌

what suspension do you use on your t7?

The first part about the GPX files and tracks was very interesting. I had no idea, GPS Kev is the first result in google, so I am not surprised most people don't know.

nice riding....do you have a cruise control installed?

Man I had that bike, sold it and never looked back. Ktm 790/890 and even a 990 would be a way better option. The T-700 is way too top-heavy for me. Anyway enjoyed the video and sorry about your ankle. Maybe spend some $$ on dialing in your suspension so you have better control.

Love the video sharpnesses and clarity. The best of all motorcycle YT channels that I’ve seen. Could you expand the sections outlining the mapped route you just finished? In this case starting 39:22. It’s hard to see the names of the towns and places you visited. Perhaps an animation of the names popping up large-size progressively in the directions you traveled. That would make this all absolutely perfect. 💯

BDE PSD XO team Leader and then ended up in the BDE TOC full time. I was the guy on duty monitoring the damn Lob bomb attack with the Afatds wondering why no radar picked it up. No incoming alert given. I called my counterpart in Rusty then the green zone. No one showed anything going on. My boss SFC Sommerfeld came. was with Cameron in Fort Riley, then Polk.

Wonderful job covering the event. You honestly depict the tribulations of completing this challenge on an adventure bike. I respect your achievement!

TAT is a definite bucket list E to W. I know you don't want to mess with the Oklahoma section though . Enjoyed the ride Brad , ride safe 💪

OSMO looks fine !!! Good audio too !

Looks and sounds great to me, though I'm strictly a content consumer, not a creator. Like having a sharp enough view of the road that I can play along at home and pick my line ahead😁

Nice! I’ve been looking into the exact same cameras. I’m currently working with GoPros, and have the typical gremlins. Looking forward on your thoughts with the DJI

B - looking good man!!! 😎☀️

How many miles on t7?

I switched a while back to the DJI Action 3 and I really like it. Built in stabilization works great. Real happy with it. The auction 2 remote will work with the Action 3. Keep up the good work I like your videos👍

I know you don't do reviews but this is gold.

Cameras are looking great and sounding great!

sounds good to me.

About to ride the UTBDR in a couple of weeks. What do you do to keep your drone safe from all the bumps and shocks of the rough road?

IDAHOME

Great Ride and Video! What settings are your GoPros set at?

Doing this tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks - I'm about to tackle the WABDR next weekend and watched this for familiarity. Looks fun!

Nice job as usual Brad. You do a stellar job of editing, narration and music.

what vest/pack are you using?

I see you also have an epidemic of vehicles who won't pull over and let you by, when there are plenty of pull outs ....

Ah well, a bad day on a T7 on the pavement is better than a good day at the office.....or....something. You know what I mean.😁

Sam's intention with the TAT was to get from the east coast to the west coast with as little pavement travel as possible. Pavement is a necessary evil. His focus was to stay westward bound.

The TAT, Smokey Mountain 500, and Smokey Mountain 1000 all converge along the Cherohala Skyway. Welcome to my playground. Depending on when this was recorded, there's a good chance we passed each other on the trail.

"oversaturated", yep.

On apple tv this video is the whole, warped 360 view. For me, unwatchable. I like your videos on the large screen while doing my workout. Couldn't do this one (the 360 distorted view).

Yep. Taking that alt easy route. Nice video. Really helpful for planning. What month did you ride?

Is this a published route? I'm in New Mexico and randomly encounter hikers on the trail around Grants.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. What month were you riding in?

Hi! What abrasion layer are you wearing over the Tech-Air Off-Road? I currently have the AS Super Shirt as well, and I am hoping with the pads out it might be stretchy enough to wear over the Tech-Air Off-Road. Thank you for all the videos!
