If you're riding in the United States BDR has released the trailer for their upcoming North East Backcountry Discovery Route (NEBDR) documentary film. The NEBDR is their tenth route for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel, and their second BDR on the East Coast. Free GPS tracks, travel resources, and the waterproof Butler Motorcycle Map became available on RideBDR.com on February 1. The feature-length, NEBDR expedition documenta- ry film will be shown at motorcycle dealerships and theaters across the USA during the NEBDR Film Tour, starting February; and will be available on DVD and video-on-demand on March 15, 2020. N The film features eight-time AMA National Enduro Champion Mike Lafferty of KTM, and international ADV celebrity and BMW International GS Trophy team mem- ber, Jocelin Snow, along with BDR board members. Taking a first run on the NEBDR, the team tests their endurance and skills on an epic 2,250 kilometre back- country tour of the Northeast region up to the Canadian border. The route meanders through seven states and nearly a dozen state forests on rustic dirt and gravel roads, chal- lenging seasonal and class 4 roads, and twisty tarmac. Crossing more state lines and covering more mileage than any other BDR makes the NEBDR one of the most diverse routes in the BDR series. Every state delivers a unique experience unto itself and while sections can be done over an extend- ed weekend, riders who commit to the entire route will truly feel as though they had an adventure of a lifetime.
