What I particularly like about your channel as a foreigner and occasional USA traveler is the fact that you show your home country from a side that very few tourists know or ever get to see! Tidbits upon tidbits. And that's not just meant in culinary terms. And the fact that you are now also filming from a Ténéré 700 is of course the icing on the cake for me personally.
Hey. Haha. I like icing. Glad to show you the USA a little at a time. Later in this series I find some really amazing things that most people don’t know much about. Florida has a lot to offer
Just bought the FAT 1200 GPX file because of this video, and the Bama 500 will connect to this perfect. Three of us are ready to see the rest and figure if this is a big bike 2up with our wives, or without.
Much of the FAT can be done 2 up. There are some sections that are deep sand that I would not suggest 2 up. Tell me more about the bama 500. And you must give me a full report of your FAT trip. I wanna hear how it goes. Expect plenty of tracks that do not exist on a road. You will have to navigate around closed roads and missing roads etc. Lemme know
Awesome video man! I’m not sure how I missed this one! I created the FAT! It’s awesome to see more videos of guys on bikes out on the route. Makes me so happy 🫡💪
Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. My body won't let me do trails anymore so this is more refreshing than you realize for some of us . You're so blessed to have Auny by your side , ive had so many arguments and lost many girlfriends because of my unyielding passion for bikes . I'm so passionate about bikes i told my doctors that i identify as a bike . They look at me sideways and i exclaim I'm two tired 🤪 - Live And Let Ride
We spend a few weeks each year along the emerald coast, we see it as a home away from home. It's awesome to see that there's an actual adventure track in the state. Now I have a valid excuse to drag the GSA with me next year and ride the FAT while the misses hangs out on the beach enjoying the best the country has to offer. Very much looking forward to the next videos in this series.
From the Washington BDR straight to Florida....now there's a change-up!! Great video, and I'm happy to see how well that T7 seems to fit you and your style of riding! Looking forward to more trails, bike and gear reviews! Ride safe!
I like your videos man! Interesting choice riding in Florida. You are very generous with all the content you share. This series promises to be quite an adventure. Can't wait to see the rest and all of your new gear review. The WDW joke, funny stuff! 😂The ending quote is inspiring. Thank you Brock! 👍
Hey guys, I pray all is well. Looking forward to these next 1200 miles your on. Thank yall for everything. I got the new tires and clutch for the bike. Can't wait to ride with yall again. God bless.
Those locals really know how to give a stranger proper directions! This is quite a change from the western states but should be interesting, all the same. Anxious to hear your impression of the T7.
Too cool for school. Loving it. Especially as you close out with John 16:33…. I know that Yamaha be rocking. KTM blown up. Now it’s time to ring that throttle out. Anyways, peace to this day be safe out there, and most of all enjoy life to the fullest as God is given you.
@@MotoMission.by the grace of God, I am well. Thanks! Also possibility getting a can am spyder (wife said no to two wheels because we may have another baby haha).
Man how funny! I just told my wife I need to ride the Fl Adventure Trail. I’m in central FL, definitely going to plan out a trip for the winter months. Looking forward to watching your experience. New bike looks great too.
Thanks again for great content and adding the most important part the Word. I’m seeing more and more content mixing the Jesus and activities. Awesome you linked up with Sean from Bikes and Beards!!! Love the new bike. Yamaha reliability is bullet proof!!
And again very nice join on your ride bro happy you found a new bike. Lost mine three weeks ago (stolen) I’m looking for options to get another. It’s nice to get the vibe going watching your channel. Greets from your Dutch fan.
Hey Brock glad to see you on the road again. How's that T7 treating you. How does it compare to the 890 r. Florida look nice bit like the west coast in South Africa. Enjoy the sea food. Say hi to the wife.
There’s a ktm style gas tank for the t7 it’s not cheap but I’m sure you already figured out the t7 is super top heavy that tank should make a world of difference. I can’t remember the company but it’s not camel or acerbis
Found it Safari tank 45 liter Not cheap but if you plan on keeping it long term and it will improve the fuel range center of gravity and handling it’s worth it imo
As someone whom God called to Florida more than 30 years ago, but whose heart is in the Blue Ridge mountains, I will be interested to see how you can romanticize this state in which I live! Yes, clear springs are nice, but have no comparison to babbling mountain brooks and rivers.
First of all before I even watch a second of this video I have been thinking about the T7 it's the only other bike I would ride other than my XR . if you convince me with these videos to buy a T7 I will tell my wife it's your fault .
I lived in Destin, FL. for 4 years. If you don't dislike sand now, move to Fl. You will dislike it as much as you dislike the mosquitos and sand spurs. I never ventured into the swamps because I am allergic to alligators and snakes. It ain't all bad though, there are lots of petty girls.
Hi Brock, you are in my backyard here in North Florida. I ride some of the same route it looks like you will be taking thru Tates Hell, Appalachicola National Forest just south of Tallahassee. Hit me up if you want a riding partner to show you around or if you need a place to plug in your RV for a day or two.
He had zero problems with the KTM till he accidentally filled it w/ water/sludge instead of gas. Then he kept riding.... I totally get how/why it happened, could have happened to anyone (me!), but to act like that's a KTM failure?😂
@@MotoMission. I bled orange for years on my bigger bikes (690, 790, 1190, & 890R) and still love my orange small bikes. Finally switched to a T7 from a '23 890R this year and am loving it. Bulletproof engine with plenty of low end torque. And contrary to others opinions the suspension is fine. Only thing I miss from the 890 is fuel range that will be solved with an Acerbis tank.

Super thankful for you to make these available.
I want other people to go ride the fat

That T7s motor sounds phenomenal!! 🤙🏻😎
Yeah. I love the way it sounds. The new pipe makes it even better
What a beautiful place to finish, and eat!!
Excellent spot. Meet ya there
Destin in my Happy Place
Yes it is
We spend a few weeks each year along the emerald coast, we see it as a home away from home. It's awesome to see that there's an actual adventure track in the state.

That would be a good life choice !
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Good luck with the T-7, I hope you are enjoying it.
I am happy you are watching the vids. I’m liking the new bike so far.
Welcome to North Florida 😎
What a great place.
Nice. Congrats on the T7:) I love that bike. 🦅🍻🇺🇸
Thanks 👍 I’m a fan so far
From the Washington BDR straight to Florida....now there's a change-up!! Great video, and I'm happy to see how well that T7 seems to fit you and your style of riding! Looking forward to more trails, bike and gear reviews! Ride safe!
I like to keep the channel fresh. Thought you might like the change of scenery.
@@MotoMission. It's all good....thanks Brock!

Glad you like them! The Disney joke gets lots of mileage. You will see :)
Hey guys, I pray all is well. Looking forward to these next 1200 miles your on. Thank yall for everything. I got the new tires and clutch for the bike. Can't wait to ride with yall again. God bless.
Hey hey. That’s awesome. Good to hear from ya. Will catch up to you soon and do a ride on your cool bike
Those locals really know how to give a stranger proper directions! This is quite a change from the western states but should be interesting, all the same. Anxious to hear your impression of the T7.
Yeah. I love the locals. :)
Big switch from the west. Nice change of scenery
Too cool for school. Loving it. Especially as you close out with John 16:33…. I know that Yamaha be rocking. KTM blown up. Now it’s time to ring that throttle out. Anyways, peace to this day be safe out there, and most of all enjoy life to the fullest as God is given you.
Haha. You got it
15:03 best part of the video!!! And the whole video was amazing!!!
I’m glad you noticed that. I hope it will help people in their journey.
@@MotoMission. brough me back from emotional death after the military!
Would love to hear more of your story. You can email it to me if you want to share. Hope you are well.
@@MotoMission.by the grace of God, I am well. Thanks!
Also possibility getting a can am spyder (wife said no to two wheels because we may have another baby haha).
Man how funny! I just told my wife I need to ride the Fl Adventure Trail. I’m in central FL, definitely going to plan out a trip for the winter months. Looking forward to watching your experience. New bike looks great too.
Thanks. It’s been fun. I recommend the FAT. Heads up tho. Lots of dead ends and incomplete tracks. But you can figure out solutions as you go.
@@MotoMission. much appreciated
Hey, Brock. You're a really funny guy, funnier here than in most of them 😂, and I really enjoy watching. Keep it coming. God bless and be safe!
Thanks! Will do! Thanks for watching
That sand looked really challenging. Loved the water scenes. Great video!
Gets much worse soon.
We have a place in Destin. Deweys is our go to favorite! Enjoy Florida.
Yeah that place is the best.
love it… FtWalton/Destin is amazing
It’s such a beautiful place
Great bike! This was a fun watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to watching your series Brock, good times
Glad you like them! Much more comin
Thanks for sharing brother
Any time
The first guy you asked about disneyworld is telling that story for days. Blessed !
Yeah. He telling his wife and kids about the idiot who thinks he is near Disney world Haha.
More of that coming.
Thanks again for great content and adding the most important part the Word. I’m seeing more and more content mixing the Jesus and activities. Awesome you linked up with Sean from Bikes and Beards!!! Love the new bike. Yamaha reliability is bullet proof!!
Cool to hear that. I just want to point to truth. It’s life changing.
Sean and I have some big plans. Exciting
Welcome to Florida.......again
Hey ward !
Good stuff dude, got a tad bit distracted at the wedding, but maybe I’ll catch you on the trail soon enough!
Let’s ride
3:19 what a beautiful waterfall!😂
Niagara is jealous
@@MotoMission. 😂🤣😂
Likin' this here channel!
Likin this here comment.
HAHAHAHA the pit Bulls kill me!!! you got my watching every video looking for Pit Bulls!!🤣🤣 BTW i love you're new bike Brotha
Ha. Yeah dude. That’s awesome.
Be careful. Those things are everywhere.
What a contrast! I had no idea Florida had a trail like that. 👍
Me neither. Just discovered it. And it gets really interesting. Keep watching
New trails ! Gotta check those out when us snowbirds get down that way next winter/spring.
It’s a perfect place to ride in winter. Weather is perfect then
I think I found a state I can handle all the hill climbs! Thanks Uncle Brock only 7 more days. PS: New bike is awesome!
Hill climbs here are the best. Haha
Love the T7.
Heck yeah
And again very nice join on your ride bro happy you found a new bike. Lost mine three weeks ago (stolen) I’m looking for options to get another. It’s nice to get the vibe going watching your channel. Greets from your Dutch fan.
Oh no. Sorry to hear that. Hope I can give you some good vids to keep you feeling some adventure. Lemme know how it goes on the search for a new bike.
Such beautiful country over there. My son graduated from Pensacola Christian College. Enjoyed going there several times a year. Let’s ride. God Bless
Indeed it is. So beautiful
Another great series coming up. Brock and wife. I've got a question does she use any kind of app for finding campgrounds or is it just winging it?
Mostly just searches the Google machine. But doesn’t over plan it.
Yelp is good for finding the food. It’s my fav app.
I’m gonna put the F. A. T. on my bucket list. Had no idea it existed.
Are you from east coast ?
@@MotoMission. I live in the north Georgia mountains.
That’s not far from Florida. I will be in Ellijay next week. Meet me for cappuccino
@@MotoMission. that would be awesome.
@@MotoMission. SM500?
Man you get around.
Yep. That’s my style !
AWESOME Bro!!!!
Welcome to Florida!!!!
Love this place
Every time you said “Alabama”, I could hear forest Gump saying it😂
Love the new bike!
Forrest Gump is my cousin.
@@MotoMission. I could see some beard resemblance 😂
There is a 73' waterfall in Florida. Falling Waters State Park.
Are you serious ?
@@MotoMission. Yep. It's unique. I enjoy your vids and message. Thanks!
Great video!!! I'm in South Carolina close to the beach, if you ever this way and want to ride hit me up!!! Blue T7 rider myself!!!
That’s awesome. What a cool place to live.
Hey Brock glad to see you on the road again. How's that T7 treating you. How does it compare to the 890 r. Florida look nice bit like the west coast in South Africa. Enjoy the sea food. Say hi to the wife.
Hey. So far so good. This bike is killer
I know you dont usually do bike reviews but would be interested in your thoughts about the T7 as compared to the KTM
I may try to figure something out on that. Thanks for suggesting that.
In my neck of the woods. If you wanna explore eglin afb range lmk we’ll get ya a pass and go see some jets, tanks and helo’s
And that crossing gets high! You timed it right. In Blackwater right?
Really? We must talk! I would love that.
Email me
Brock my 890 is in the shop now a little over a year old 11,000 miles I am pretty sure it’s got the cam cancer i am sure looking at a T7 myself .
I’m sorry dude. Let’s start a support group.
Lemme know what happens
Im in FL but down south
You are close enough to hit the FAT. It’s a good one
How are you finding the new bike compared to the KTM? I’ll be interested to see if yourun into any wildlife? (Not literally lol)
New bike is great so far. Lot different than the 890. I am collecting lots of data right now
I'm getting my Honda XR 150l later this month.. can you please let me know how you have your camera system and audio setup?
Using a GoPro and a rode mic w dead cat and dust cover. Pretty simple
Florida got some Big pitbulls!!!! Aloha,from Hawaii
I need pitbull repellent. Do they sell that in Hawaii ?
Dude, you coming down to Naples???
No plans for that this time.
But maybe next year. Working on an idea.
I’ll keep an eye out.
There’s a ktm style gas tank for the t7 it’s not cheap but I’m sure you already figured out the t7 is super top heavy that tank should make a world of difference. I can’t remember the company but it’s not camel or acerbis
Thankful for the tips.
Found it Safari tank 45 liter
Not cheap but if you plan on keeping it long term and it will improve the fuel range center of gravity and handling it’s worth it imo
Is that the klim dakar jacket?
It’s the raptor. A nice outer shell

Well I have a treat coming for you.
First of all before I even watch a second of this video I have been thinking about the T7 it's the only other bike I would ride other than my XR . if you convince me with these videos to buy a T7 I will tell my wife it's your fault .
Haha. Don’t buy one !!!!
Buy 2

Hit me up if you want a riding partner to show you around or if you need a place to plug in your RV for a day or two.
Hey. I wish I had met you a little bit sooner. I could have used some help. Tates hell! Wow. Florida is awesome.
The T7 isn't a KTM, you won't have issues with it.
I hope you are right? Have you had both of them ?
He had zero problems with the KTM till he accidentally filled it w/ water/sludge instead of gas. Then he kept riding.... I totally get how/why it happened, could have happened to anyone (me!), but to act like that's a KTM failure?😂

Bulletproof engine with plenty of low end torque. And contrary to others opinions the suspension is fine. Only thing I miss from the 890 is fuel range that will be solved with an Acerbis tank.
Yes, KTM and Yamaha both make very fine motorcycles.
I only started watching the channel BECAUSE of the KTM. Not a hater of the T7 but not my fav. either.
You look like your really fun wish I were younger
I’m having a blast. Wish I was younger too.
