Done 2 two week tours by myself on my Electra Glide Ultra Classic, loved it and do meet tons of like minded people. Old slow guys rule!! Planning a 2 week ride on my KLR650 and some of the MABDR.
It's easier to go solo when you're on well-traveled roads and can heal easily from broken bones. The issue with doing a BDR solo - or any dirt track riding for that matter - is if the road isn't well traveled and you go down, help isn't a guarantee and you can get into serious trouble fast. Fear should never stop us from having adventures, but wisdom is needed to avoid dangerous situations.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! I loved the scenery; very beautiful. As a fellow middle-aged, slow guy, your pace would have been just right for me. I look forward to seeing more MABDR videos.
Thanks so much for the great footage and well done. Just about the ride. I am planning to Solo a couple sections of the MANDR and am trying to decide where to start. This section seems like exactly what I want. Including the camping. I am 62 and really just like a bit of a challenge and getting out of the city.
Just be very careful. It is dangerous to be out in the woods alone if something happens. God forbid. Strongly consider a one spot or other satellite communicator, there’s not a lot of cell service out there. Let us know what you do, I’d like to hear from you again.
Great job! I ran the MABDR solo my first time and mostly ride the sections that way only because being retired I am out when others can not be. I love being out on the MABDR as it changes every day with weather and seasons.. You did a really nice job taking us along in your adventure. This is where you will find what changes you want to make for you and your bike for next time.It is great that you show what we always say about getting lost on the route as it is EASY to do on the small roads/trails when you encounter Y and T intersections that come out of nowhere. Really glad you had a good time on this amazing BDR and maybe see you out here sometime! Be safe in your travels my friend! Craig/MABDR
"Jedzing" LOL Love it. Dude great video, ride your own ride and pace... I wouldn't be "Jedzing" on TKC80s either. Deer!!! TURTLE!!! Such gorgeous views, I think the TUX would do very well on those roads.... So In that, DON"T SO THIS ALONE AGAIN!!! Too much fun to be having alone :) Ride safe and looking forward till our paths cross next! Best, -Jedz
I really liked your easy going at times self deprecating style of narrating. I love riding solo, sometimes at a snails pace and sometimes not. From a safety standpoint it's always better to ride with a partner but there's something special about riding solo. I also used to occasionally whitewater kayak solo which is also not recommended. I always paddled more conservatively but all my senses were heightened at the time. It's the same I feel when riding solo and it's uniquely satisfying at some level. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! The first video I watched the whole way through! I want to do the MABDR (this summer hopefully) but I also don't want to go alone. I am just east of Raleigh North Carolina, if you would like maybe we can plan something. let me know!
I rode sections 4-9 back in early June and had a lot of the same thoughts/experiences you have in your vid: waving at random folks, not knowing where I was in relatiion to anything and a very real sense of wishing I had ridden with someone. It's amazing how lonely you can feel out there.
Great video! I'm thinking of doing part of the MABDR in 2023. Don't sweat going slow, if I do it I will be crawling along. Thanks for the video and God's Speed.
Great video! We just moved to Virginia and I'm looking forward to getting to some of these southern MABDR sections. Have done some in PA while living up there. Those back country roads are always calling.
I think the two of us would be a perfect match for riding the MABDR together! Seriously! I've given this some thought. :) Remember when we went on our first long distance backpacking trip together. You like a fire at night but didn't like collecting firewood. I on the other hand enjoy collecting firewood and starting a fire. You see....a perfect match. :) For those of you wondering. She's my daughter. :)
@@michaelsupple6081 Haha that's funny Michael. I never even noticed that she's a she... I just read the comment. If you ever want to get together for a ride with Doug and Me, give us a shout.
@@michaelsupple6081 Next year it's on! lol, and you're retired so every day is Saturday! I'll have so much vacation time saved up after this year we could do the whole thing and jump on the NEBDR too. Oh, and Skyline. And the Blue Ridge. And...😄
I really enjoyed your candid conversation and footage of your trip! I ride solo on stuff like this a lot and agree with you... it's smarter and more enjoyable to have a companion. But sometimes we just gotta ride!! I'm in your neck of the woods. Maybe I'll see you sometime! 😊🏍👍
Some friends and I have discussed doing this ride as well. We're all between 48-65 years old..ha! Ride safe! Also, Mountain Lake is where they filmed "Dirty Dancing"...I did some moto camping in that area a couple of years ago and I believe you will ride past White Rocks Campground where we stayed.
Minute 19:20...now aren't you glad you had some Conti TKC80 tires as you slithered through that muddy section. Saved your bacon! In general that segment looked pretty wet and muddy. You're a bolder man than most riding off-road solo on a big GS. Kam
I'd like to do the MABDR at a slow and steady pace. I'm an old guy myself. I have a mountain cabin in Sparta, NC and so am very close to the start of the MABDR. If you are still looking for a riding partner give me a shout.
Great video and spot on! I also enjoy riding solo and just finished sections 1, 2 & about 30 miles of section 3 by myself, but I definitely don't recommend solo riding the MABDR. Like you, always had the thought in the back of my mind of getting stranded if bike goes down in mud or water. Regards.
I know . . I know. I shud-of, cud-of, wud-of been with U. My loss fo-sho! ThnX 4 the video, really enjoyed it . . . had know idea that U were such a good video-photographer.
I did section 2 and 1 this past August 2021. Gonna do the whole route in July 22. There is 4 so far. We are cutting it off at 8 people. We still have run if you are interested
I am 61 riding an Africa Twin would like to ride with a like minded buddy. Just enjoy riding dislike riding interstates and heavy traffic love backroads etc. I’m in North Alabama but plan to do a bunch of riding in tenn Carolinas north ga this year. I’m about to get started riding blue ridge parkway. I also have a Wr250r dual purpose Yamaha I enjoy riding it on dirt. I have it set up for adventure with a giant loop Great Basin bag , skidplate double take mirrors betterseat etc. it’s actually quite comfortable and is easy to ride on dirt roads even single track. I use AT basically as my street touring bike etc anyway I am a business owner this is my therapy haha I like both bikes and the other 2 I own as well. Maybe we can ride together at some point.
I'm in Durham also. Planning on leaving for the whole trail on June 12. Riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan.(Street bike is a Honda NC700) I live out near Brier Creek if you'd like to ride sometime.
Hoping to tackle some of this trail this year. Did a cross country solo ride on a Himilayan, but probably going to upgrade? into a more tried and true KLR for more adventures with better capability (and reliability). I enjoyed watching your ride of the section. I've heard things about trail conditions on Tub Run, and it appears you had the better side of that. I appreciate your talking about the tires for this stuff. When I rode, it was on some 50/50 tires and they weren't very fun off road, especially on a low-powered 420 lbs stallion like the Enfield. I'll probably be ready for my ride by June-ish. Camera work is a CHORE, with most of the work on the back end. Bravo for the many-cuts edit work, it must've been several days of work!
Ebbonfield I've got a Himalayan, planning to do the Idaho bdr. What 50/50 tires did you run if I might ask? At the moment I've got Mitas E-07 Enduros and they seem pretty good in the off-road that I managed to do. Thanks
@@starlordstarlordman8489 I believe I had Pirelli's on it. Has a mild A/T tread on them. The rear didn't often break loose on them, but the front could've used a little more grip on gravel. It was slow going sometimes.
@@Ebbonified thanks a lot. I just switched from pirelli mt60s which came stock on the Himalayan and which I've been running for the last 12,000 miles. I've only got about 400 miles on the new tires but I can tell there's an incredible difference. It used to be if there was a little bit of mud the bike would slip and slide underneath me. Now you give a little gas and the bike straightens right up and maybe slips for just a second. I rode through four to six inch mud on a mile long road the other day and while nerve-racking it worked out fine. Thanks again.

I will going in the same timeframe. Planning to do section 4-9 in late SEP and then 1-3 after completing the SCAR in mid/late-October. Should be a blast. Hope I see some folks as I'm also doing it solo.
@@rjsalameh , I am a windscreen guy. I only use the short screen when off-road so that I don't break something when I inevitably drop the bike. Thanks for watching.
Imbologa, I really don't remember where I got them from but they are small too. I think I got them at the local car parts chain store. They are 2 inches in diameter and just fit inside the Double Take mirrors. This might be like them on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZFHF14Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ANA29GERBZ3NH&psc=1
I think you did a good job and I wouldn’t say whimpy at all…we have this idea as American’s that we have to mud our bikes or jump off mountains and boulders with our GS/GSAs and honestly I have no interest in that…look at the Europeans…most of them are connecting their rides between black top with dirt/gravel roads…

@@aaronmorningstar7020 I think our major trip this year is going to be to the MOA Rally in Richmond. It's so far out of Florida I don't think we have any MABDR plans this year. Maybe the SCAR (South Carolina) would be the furthest north one which is only a 50/50 maybe at this point. Are you a member at ADVRider? You might find someone local who wants a riding buddy for MABDR over there?
Very brave. Respect. Some of us don’t have any options but to ride alone. Appreciate you documenting and narrating.
Thanks for the kind words, but in hindsight it’s probably best to try to find someone to be with you.
Over the years I've learned not to wait for everyone else before going on an adventure. Better solo than never going. Also another old slow guy. :)
I agree. Usually you meet like minded people on the way with similar schedule.
