I still can't believe you don't have 100/250K Subs or more...The work you've done on the BDR's alone and your own personal journey's....your story telling and cinematography is impeccable. I know Noraly from Itchy Boots has over 1M subs - so we as a community really need to push your Channel...keep up the great content!!!!
Needs a catchy intro - like "Good morning Internet" .....well that and some boobs? :)
@@MotoGiant Now thats funny!!!!!
Clearly the CZcams algorithm is rigged. Sterling’s content is the moto travel gold standard as far as I’m concerned.
RIGHT!? That's what I've been saying for a long time.
@@billmartin3198 less rigged, more stupid - if it cannot show me what I want, I am sure it is missing most others too?
14 minutes?? I could watch 14 HOURS of this stuff!! Thank you once again, Sterling!
This is a good example of a perfect day motorcycling.
6 episodes into Riding Solo 2 it is easy to take the joy coming with each new episode for granted. But just like with any of the previous episodes before I do not want to forget to express my appreciation for your dedication and love that you put into your work. Thank you, Sterling!
Thanks for that!
Doin' it right, Sterling, and keeping it real, that's why we love your channel, that and the professional attitude towards film making that seperates you from the rest.
That monopod is stealing the show this season!
The only issue I have with the channel is... upload more videos! Ha! Would two a day be to much to ask? 🤣
Exceptional in every way. Now I need to add hwy 108 to the list. Spectacular!
Love the idea of putting the table in the pannier so you can stand up while cooking. Great idea!! Thanks
A table is very useful when moto camping. I made one with ram mounts. (czcams.com/video/F6VL80DIUGI/video.html).
Great idea CG. Making it level at any angle. Very Cool, thanks!
My favorite moto channel! It's not just the videography that is excellent, it's the storytelling. Thanks Sterling!
Thanks! The story is what it's about too!
Agreed!!
The drone shot revealing the lake was epic @9:34!
Absolutely amazing, hats off the the road engineers. Spectacular views.
The scenery. The photography is absolutely amazing. You’re the man keep up the good work enjoy every video you make.
hwy 108 and hwy 4 are some of my favorite roads in the sierras. Being this close to home made me enjoy this video a bit more. Enjoy the series so far.
I never get tired of your videos Sterling. Awesome, just awesome.
This is WAY better than anything I've seen on TV and it's arriving at the perfect time. Spring is arriving here and it's time to go motorcycle camping. If this gorgeous video doesn't make you want to go motorcycle camping, then you probably don't have a pulse. Thank you for these wondrous gifts, Sterling.
Thanks as always for being part of the channel. I appreciate it!
I’ve just watched a man pack his belongings in a wonderfully precise manner for a minute and a half.
That’s the sort of attention to detail that grabs my interest (and I’m genuinely not being sarcastic). I’ve travelled Highway 395 from Reno to Barstow down the spine of the Sierra Nevadas and it beautiful. I took a lot longer over packing and I was using Motels…
Keep up the great work it’s mesmerising content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your experience is our subject to study on the road.
God…. I hope you know how lucky you are to have that… and to yourself! It’s got to touch the soul. Envious.
Motorcycle meditation on a long road trip... this stuff is awesome.
Again - I don't usually view adventure/travel videos - But - you have great way/talent of stitching it together to make it interesting/fun/educational/scenic.
BTW I've done that a ton of times as you have - do 200 mile loop in the middle of a much longer trips with motorcycle & fast cars
Buttler maps have been in my bag from their inception. They Rock!
Thank you for your hard work!!
This guy is awesome. Real adventurous and knowledgeable. I’ll be thinking of these episodes when I get out. Big thanks for these videos!!!!!
Great trip / video. And I really like that you always strive to eat healthy food. Good job and good luck! :) 👍
Camera angles are so awesome and the smallest things make the biggest different. The hammock scene where you are going side to side really makes it feel like we are experiencing the trip ourselves.
entertaining AND educational - the Holy Grail !!
10:08 very cool to see you on exactly the same place I've already stopped, at least 2 to 3 times! Coming back from a motorcycle trip! I did the same thing, made some food and got into the water.
Loved how you filmed your camp breakdown. Just as I was wondering how you managed all of the alone time, you highlighted the morning solitude. Cheers again for the great freedom, adventure vids brother!
Wow! Absolutely fantastic storytelling, drone and camera shots. Couple of suggestions: 1) Time stamp your youtube videos, 2) Include a daily marked map; like Itchy Boots does. I want to ride your routes. Thanks from Seattle.
Thanks for the tips! Check my website for maps and GPS too!
Never long enough sterling. Great series so far.
5:33 “HERE WE GO!!”
Great transition there - Steve Jobs never did it better lol ✨
Beautiful California back country. As a kid spent many summer vacations around Bishop and area lakes. The roads look perfect like a video game, so pristine.
I am loving the series! wish the videos were longer
This is one of my dream trips, incredible!
Loving the series! Your multi-use of items you have is great as well. Thank you sir.
Outstanding content. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop set up cameras to capture the ride. The editing of your films are 1st class.
Much appreciated!
Love your videos. At 61 yrs old, I have rode motorcycles most of my adult life. I have camped since I was a teen. But I've never done both at the same time. I guess I spend too much time cleaning and polishing my beautiful Road King classic to put it on a gravel or dirt road LOL. Definitely jealous of your adventures through wonderful locations. Stay safe.
Another great video sir. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Man, he has everything he needs to live on the road. Living the dream.
I just love this channel.
The fotage is epic and you got the chill wibe that make you calm down.
Looking forward to the next episode
That high Sierra country is gorgeous ! Reminds me of some of the BC interior which you no doubt experienced later in this tour.
Always a treat when I see you have a new video to watch. Best ch. on CZcams, and I'm not just blowing smoke.....
I really enjoyed the music you used at the lake. Very peaceful.
Your channel is the real deal. If any motorcycle film maker deserves recognition for his work it would be you Sterling.
i'd like to thank you in particular for this episode, and also for all of your fine work
Both the content and the videography are just exemplary. More please.
I 100% agree with Bill Martin, that road was my idea of motorcycle heaven and your choice of campsite exquisite, together one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Beautiful adventure Sterling, your mono pod and table ideas are great. I'm watching this Video series with great interest as I will be taking a similar route this year, NW from Phx. and then after Oregon heading East to NC and the Atlantic, a sea-to-sea trip on the Vstrom then back home via the southern route to AZ I have 30 days to do the trip. I can't thank you enough for your efforts you put into your video. Thank you.
You are the greatest packer on a bike I've seen. Table, tent, hammock, stove, chair and a bunch of food stuffs - really incredible how tidy your bike is with all that and your gear! A true skill. Great video as always!
Let me share a tip with you, my friend, when you wake up in the morning and you’re ready to get out of your tent, open the air valve on your mattress while you’re still laying on it, it will let out 95% of the air. So much easier to roll up that way.💯🇺🇸
Everyone share these videos, this man should have 1 million subscribers
Super cool to know you drove right past me last summer, haha. At 7:50 is where you passed an area we train service members in basic mountaineering.
Absolutely breathtaking footage capturing the beauty of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains! Having hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2016 and traversed the Sonora Pass, witnessing these scenic views brings back vivid memories and truly resonates with my spirit. There's a unique joy in watching videos that showcase the landscapes I've walked through or been close to. I greatly appreciate your dedication to creating such fantastic content that allows me to relive those moments. Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to more of your captivating videos!
Amazing artistry with camera and narrative. Don’t even get me started on the professional editing! You should teach a class for us humble beginners!
Ready for the next one! That was an awesome spot to camp looked like!!!
Such good filmography. Thanks for bringing us along. I appreciate the video, but I also appreciate you stepping us through your gear. Thanks!
Gorgeous scenery and narration. I understand now where our wind comes from on the west side of Vegas .
It has sufficient time to build up and blow west across that beautiful Mountain range. Wow! Your set up is more motorcycle camping then glamping as we watch! Ride Safe!
( Any footage of Chiye-tanka would be absolutely appreciated)
thank you for putting up this footage of your trip...i'm in snowy canada at the moment and salivating at the scenery. enjoy every day and keep up the amazing sharing of your joy of motorcycling. !!!!
Great ride! Enjoying the whole season...
Sooo beautiful! Congrats for your decision to live like that. 🙏
I love the 108 I love that I have the privilege to be able to drive on that road for the next few years
Another great vid. I agree, you deserve more followers. These couple days will be especially great for me. Twice a buddy and I had plans to ride over and back on all 3 passes that go over the Sierras on about a 5 day trip. The first planned trip got cancelled due to the very start of covid. The second one got cancelled due to the heavy clouds of smoke and one pass closure during the year of massive forest fires. The age clocking is ticking, so not sure if I will get to ever do that trip. For now I will sit back and see it through your eyes. Thanks!
The drone shots are blowing my mind, so Good! And, I'm also impressed because I'm aware you are piloting two things at once! lol I'm now researching brackets to hold a Monopod to my bike as I also enjoy making videos, and that angle you created is very cool. You said in the beginning " I hope these are entertaining & educational" but you forgot inspirational!!
Thanks a ton!
Excellent video, thank you for sharing.
You have it down to a science! Very impressive.
Another winner Sterling !
Another great video wow what a place to ride , thanks for sharing .
So many wonderful, scenic and entertaining Passes from which to choose: Tioga, Sonora, Carson, Ebbetts, Luther, etc. Thanks for taking us along and making it personal.
Thanx a lot for this beautiful vid again. From my point of view it seems like paradise, cause here in Germany it´s bittely cold. Anyway tomorrow I ´ll ride my good old Bonnie Scrambler 1200.
So good! Can't wait for the riding season.
Love that area......thanks
Yup, been over those passes enough times. Great riding. Also just around the foothills on the west side. Dont forget to explore the pacific coastal range. So much to see.
Great episode. What a beautiful landscape you are riding in now. I am going to film some of my rides in Iceland this summer with my GoPro and my drone, but l won't be able to come close to do as good job as you are doing. You are filming from so many angles while riding, and you drone shots are great, and then you seam to give your self good time filming with your camera mounted on a tripod. Great job, thanks 😉
Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and experience.
Excellent video, as usual. I thoroughly enjoy watching your travels. Thank you
It made me really happy to see you go over Sonora pass and camp at Beardsley. That's my whole playground and I rarely ever see any adv rider document themselves in this area. Thanks for passing by and getting me stoked for summer!
Sterling
Beautiful footage of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Epic stuff. The Ramen meal looked delicious!
I can't wait for the April Rally! I'm almost already packed.
See you there Sir! 👍
Can't wait!
You have destroyed my plans today I am sucked in and watching this one after another great content.
Great video as always Sterling! The views, angles and colors on your shots are impressive.. had to laugh when your talking about grubbing … how you go from one little bottle of wine to a few to enjoy, well done sir, well done 😆. Following your Amazon goods page, trying to find that kitchen bag in particular you showed off your previous episode. Thanks for the good times shared
A German woman has an adventure bike channel that uses the same soundtrack music. “Got to go”. Good stuff!
Amazing mountain ranges! Loving your series👍
So amazing !! Love everything about this trip !!
Simply Incredible! Thank you Sterling for bringing such joy to my eyes! 🙂
Loved the hammock shot of the feet and the helmet hair the most out of the awesome cinematography! :tup:
Wowwww!, thank you for this amazing and inspirational journey, I just can’t wait to go out(my wife is going to kill me😂)…
Keep up the great work Sterling! Loving the adventure!
Hey Sterling - Chris from humangear here. Fantastic footage. As a product designer I can’t help but think (and maybe you’re already on this) but what about using that now ever-more-useful monopod as the high table mount? I’m thinking of some relatively simple cylindrical piece that would go down and around or clamp onto the monopod. Then you bolt the side of the table to that piece, or if necessary there could be some table support members extending off the monopod piece. Alternately, you could add a tensioned piece of cord that is affixed higher up on the monopod and then attaches to the far end of the table to give it more support. The notion of a standing kitchen is a cool one and the monopod seems like the perfect place to try to incorporate that. That high table now also becomes a shelf, too - maybe there’s a small mirror that clamps to the monopod and you could brush your teeth and even shave off it (for all that shaving you do on the road 😂). The “Sterling Uber Pod” tm. Safe travels.
Thank you Chris, so nice to hear from you again. Yes I agree it would be nice to have some sort of a table solution that could be attached to the mono pod or the pannier. I will think about it some more but I really do enjoy the mono pod and what it has brought to my motorcycle camping experience.
@@SterlingNoren Right on. Looks like you're getting a lot of varied use out of that monopod already. Turning it into a shelf/table support could just increase the utility even more. Not sure if you bring a laptop but that could become a standing desk of sorts as well. I think the fixturing is relatively doable with a bit of tinkering - the monopod does most of that work and you've already got that mounted, and this gives you more utility out of the table you're already bringing. Maybe there's even a Touratech product in there somewhere? Anyway, been enjoying these vids. I continue to be struck by the many tiny clips of you driving by on various sections of road and realize that all of those 2 second shots take probably 30+ minutes each to set up, drive back, drive by, check the footage, reshoot 'cause a car drove by, drive back for the camera etc. But it pays off - these are really a cut above other moto travelogues out there (watching 15 minutes of someone's helmet cam just gets a bit tedious, regardless of the scenery). Safe travels and all hail the Sterling Pod!
Sterling, if I can give You an advice - NEVER youse seasame oil for fry/stir-fry. This oil has to be eaten fresh - just use it as final topping :) Seasame oil has got very low smoke point- its dangerous. I suggest You to use avocado or olive oil to fry/stir-fry ;)
The most honest normal guy with tons of great information on my favorite hobby. Always the best music and cinematography. I have been touring and camping for 8 years and 2 with a V85 TT. Its so much better for finding the hidden spots now that I went Adventure. You keep up the great work and Ride safe Ride free friend.
The scenery is beautiful, the roads are inviting, as I watch your show in the late evening, your presentation is so inviting, I’m wishing I was riding along side with you experiencing it in real life. Thanks for the great work, I look forward to more episodes.
I've been wanting to ride in California for years. The roads, the scenery, the weather, it all looks absolutely spectacular. Hopefully someday soon.
Very educational and wonderfully produced -thanks
Nice kitchen.👍
Man, you are the GOAT , keep the inspiration coming
I think we should put this things in school to teach them what is the sense of freedom !!
Man, just awesome!👍👍👍🏍️🌞🌞. Thank you for doing this.
Sterling, you need to make a full-length film. You are very talented! 👍
Funny you should say that, I've made several. Check out my website. Thanks!
love the touratech tablestand you got there ill have to try that out myself.
Great video can’t wait to see the next one… keep up the great work.
Another great video Sterling..
Loving the videos Sterling, so inspiring and educational for sure. Can't wait to do some of these roads!
