After awaking at out least favorite campsite on the Northern California BDR, we hopped back on our ADV motorcycles (KTM 790 Adventure, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, and Moto Morini X-Cape 650) and headed out to tackle NorCal BDR Section 7 (Chester to Bieber, CA). The first half of our BDR adventure bike riding day went well but it wasn't long before I ended up crashing my 2024 KTM 790 Adventure in some loose sand. I was okay, so we continued on to enjoy the amazing views from several Northern California Backcountry Discovery Route fire lookouts before heading down the red pavement into Bieber, CA. There we discovered that @ADV_Agenda picked up a staple and his rear tire was flat. Along the way, the shock on @BigRockMoto 's Vstrom 800 failed, as well.
We finished the evening tackling the beginning of NorCal BDR section 8 before settling in a small campground for the night. The day ended on kind of a down note as neither Jeff nor Ian were sure they wanted to continue...which left me with the very real possibility of having to finish the NorCal BDR solo...
