  • This is our second time riding the Smokey Mountain 500 but Frank and Cheyenne's first and the first time doing big water crossings. The first time is always special. In this one we ride our adventure motorcycles from Dillard GA to Suches GA. We got to do six water crossings and ride some rocky, challenging but fun roads through the mountains of North Georgia. We got to some dispersed moto camping on top of a mountain which made for a perfect view of the sunset and the sunrise. We even broke out the mandalorian mini basketball goal and played some Moto basketball. Timmy cooked us up. some delicious ribs and beans on the Grumpy Grill. day one was a great day. stay tuned for day two coming soon. As always, thanks for watching and please consider subscribing.

      I know. I failed as a rider on that one. 😁. If I don't push myself to be better who will?

    Frank didn't have a "problem" with his KTM. He simply was remiss in factoring in the automatic maintenance procedure that was re-attenuating the triolic neogenic manganese phaser bio-containers in the deltonium quantum gel. Once the hyper sensitive containment spore container was re-routed to the graviton flow containment field and the plasma surge in the beryllium microfilament launcher was neutralized, then the detection of an anomolous power spike in the ventral bipolar processor could be actuated and Frank was ready.
    Simple.
    What?
    Y'all ain't gone none of that on yer V-Strom?

    Smokey Mountain 500 looked great, amazing the amount of water crossings, at least they weren't deep. Looks like great time for everyone, and the dinner looked amazing. You can't ask for more than a good friends, good riding and a good dinner. You guys living the dream, thanks for posting, Greg.

      It was an awesome day of riding and camping for sure! The water crossings were fun ones we didn't hit the deep ones until Whitt Rd. Thanks man and thanks for watching and commenting. I definitely appreciate it. Day 2 coming this weekend. 😁

      Hell yeah!! I bet Charlie's Creek was awesome yesterday! I like good fun but challenging off-road. It's what adv riding is all about. We had a blast and I can't wait to go to Florida!

      It's a great route. It has some pretty challenging parts on it for newer off road riders but still doable and fun.

    So that’s the southernmost section. More water crossings than I was hoping for since I’m always riding solo.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  11 місяців тому +1

      It is. The water crossings aren't too bad. They look intimidating but are pretty easy except for the slick one on Whitt Rd.

      I'm not sure. He had a couple of error codes pop up and had to wait until he got home to check them. He disconnected the battery for a few minutes and it ran fine the rest of the weekend.
