On my journey, Pennsylvania was definitely a surprise state with the riding and the views! In my town of Lockport, IL, we also have our hometown hero banners for those that have served. It's great recognition. Loved your pre-outro position on taking that journey. Thank you for making the time!

Mine turned out to be 13mm for the drain bolt

I love to see riding from different perspectives/bikes. Great job on another great video!

Great video. I waited until my return from Vegas to watch them so I would have something to look forward to (ad o longer be in 118 degree heat).

That is a lot of experience. Great video, Sir 👊

I had no idea about challenge coins - that's a completely foreign culture thing I was completely unaware of. Always concerned about 3M tape for GoPros, but this is the first I've heard of them failing - lucky catch, well done. Cheers mate!

Enjoyed the journey and the talk-through, looks like a great time with great people!

Never heard of a Challenge coin, not sure if we have them over here in Australia. The hat looks great Mate. I have made my own chin mount with a cement type glue. Never had an issue as yet. Take care Mate 😎

Good looks lids! 💯 on the coins. I carry a coin everywhere..in case I’m “Challenged”😂. Don’t want to be the guy paying the tab. Safe travels this week!

great chasing Kraken

Great video!!! TY

Looks like it was a great trip, the scenery back there is amazingly different to what we have here out west. Equally beautiful, just different.

Love the style of the new hats !! The raised logo is awesome !! I liked the Garmin also, matter of fact still have one on my shelf here but haven’t needed to use it for a long time now. Oh … that sucks about the camera on the last road trip.

I did not know this about challenge coins, thanks man! glad you saved your camera!

7:30 You mentioned your chinmount before, which I also purchased one for my helmet. After the 3Mtape is exposed to heat and cold, it seems that it usually lasts one season. As an alternative, I used Shoe Goo. I used to use Shoe Goo on electronics, for radio controlled vehicles. It may seem like a permanent bond, but will wear out over time, but it is more obvious when it starts to become weak.With some effort, and a flat screwdriver you could pull it off. As I stated, it seems like a permanent bond, but it will take the weather better than any 3M tape I have used. Rambling on, again... Take care Eric, ride safe.

I can't believe you are still referring to your home as casa de red neck...🤣nope...just nope...😁

Subbed to Heckadude after your last video...he has some cool footage AND he has some great photography on his IG page.

Good on Ride On....bummer on the tape on the chin mount...glad you didn't lose your camera!!

Google foo, lol?

Interesting info about the challenge coins you shared with us!

Love the hats Eric!!! They look great!! Never got a challenge coin.

These CEO's and Board of Directors keep giving themselves 10's of millions of dollars in raises and bouneses, then blame their minimal wage employees (franchises) for their coruption. Its like Bankers blaming their janitors and maids for the Banking Crisis.

Another great video. The guy riding around out in the snow man I gotta check that out.

Nice video Eric. It is great to see you on your 946. Glad you took it for a long trip and were able to meet some new and old friends. Bob and I are looking forward to our trip to Maggie Valley, NC in September. I hope you are able to meet up with us for some riding. We are meeting our friends from Canada. 😊

Hi Eric... Man, what a ride... Looks like some beautiful country up that way. Nice people too! I am fairly new to the Vespa / scooter community... I bought my 05 Genuine Stella Fireball as a Covid purchase Sep. 2020... I didn't know a thing about the bike or scooters in general... It didn't take long before I met some of the area scooter enthusiasts and have accepted as one of them... Fast forward to present day... My happy garage is home to the Fireball, my wife's beautiful new 2023 Primavera 150 (she out grew her Buddy 50 in a hurry), an 07 LX150 (rescue) that I brought back to life and ride most every day, a Genuine RH 50 that has been a ton of fun making a hot rod out of, and an ET4 that I'm working on for the the Vespa Club of DC... VCDC takes donated scooters, fixes them up and awards them to George Mason U students that need transportation... Sorry for the book. I just get carried away when talking scooters! haha

Have a great 4 th ..✌️👋🏍️

Love the stickers you sent Eric. The logo looks super slick on its own too.

Happy 4th Eric!! Sounds like a fun month for you coming up, be well, Patrick

Thanks for sharing Eric. Glad you caught your camera!

Wow, Eric. Challenge coins, so cool. I actually hadn't heard of them, so learn something new every time on your channel. Good mingles, mate. The Honda CT90 are known as Postie Bikes, used by Aus Post mail delivers. Ride well. Cheers

Believe it or not… I never kept any challenge coins from the military. I always passed them on to which ever one of my troops who I felt was the “unsung hero” who’s actions lead to me receiving the coin.

Always good seeing you uncle Eric

Wow, Eric. Thanks for the shoutout! I’m truly grateful and honored to be mentioned by the great Kraken and appreciate your kind words about my videos. Riding has helped me see the world in new ways both literally and figuratively, and I needed that. I bought my GTS in the fall of 2016 during some personally difficult days. The thrill of the ride hooked me immediately and was a healthy distraction, but the unexpected healing properties of contemplation and gratitude were even more important and have become a critical practice in my life. It is particularly meaningful to me that riding has introduced me to some of my closest friends. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. It’s pretty cool that our paths have crossed. I can’t wait to show Suzanne your video. 🦑🛵💨

Good looking hats! Looking forward to checking Andy’s channel out. You know the Vespa is rubbing off one me. All good stuff my friend.

Our hats arrived today!!! They are nothing less than TOP QUALITY! Thank you so very much! We love your channel, your content, and most importantly- your friendship! You will always have a place to stay in Arizona, and an Icon Harley of your choice to ride. We love you Eric 💥 You are one of the rare, good humans on this planet.

Sure your heart skipped a beat when the GoPro dropped from the chin mount. 😬 Glad you caught it on your lap. 😎👍

Cool merch man, and you’re a kind and humble person for only making a small amount on each… good onya mate! ✌️🇦🇺
