- My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

Zelle. A Canadian couple (who recently canned their PP) turned me on to this one. Supposed to be super easy and uses no middleman. It’s in the app store. You just need my email: scottykerekes88@gmail.com
I really needed this video today.
At 67, I am retiring in 16 days, and was feeling apprehensive yesterday.
No more though.
Can't wait to get on my '96 Heritage and finally living.
Thank you so much!
Sitting here at work being torn between chasing that American dream you spoke about and my bike that sitting at home waiting on me to finish my 14 day work cycle, I have often thought about getting up and walking out on this life I have built over the last 35 years of my life and spending the rest of what's left of my life on the back of my bike seeing the beauty that God put here for everyone to see. I guess I just am not as brave as you were to make that change so thank you very much for all that you share with us.
I started by taking many short forays into the neighboring state of Arizona. Sorta sticking my toes in the water. Had to simplify my miterial life to make time first though. Very satisfying. David Rockifeller once said, "Im going to enslave the American people using debt". Many have fallin victim.
And that's defiantly where they have me at the moment, so I see the truth in that statement. I do the same thing venturing into Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana and the worst part about those trips are turning around rushing home to make it back to work on time, defiantly a slave to the American debt right now at the moment. Keep doing what you are doing and keep those two wheels moving brother, you give inspiration to a lot of us @@scootertrampscotty
Scotty your living the dream that so many of us were to scared to do. 🏁🏁
Awesome story brother. True freedom is the American dream. You’re a very wealthy man.
GOD DAMN!!! Take me to those times. Here I am mid thirties, still can't afford my own house, don't own a car either. But I have my Harley!
There's your start. I skied to work in the snow many times. Didnt have a car for 5 years, wasnt smart enough to move south. 🤣
Those hardships are what teach you responsibility and how to take care of yourself.
In God we trust ❤
Amen
Hello Scotty!! We met at a gas station somewhere in South Dakota!! I was the guy riding a bicycle!! Good to find your channel I'll subscribe and check it out!! 😎👍
Great story Scotty hope to meet one day.
Great story and great to hear. Love you man.
Great story! Thank you for sharing. Thank you for giving the credit to God. God Bless you Sir
Scotty this is probably the most interesting video I’ve ever watched. When it was over I wanted it to continue. When I was young I loved the movie and then the tv show Then came Bronson. My dream was to travel the country and work little jobs when needed to keep going. It was the thought of sleeping in a tent cooking on a fire pit and constantly meeting new people. But unfortunately I started working in the 10 grade to pay for my motorcycle and insurance. And it just grew from there as you said working my ass off to get and keep a lot of stuff I realize now I never needed and never wanted. I was just trying to please everyone else. Sorry for dragging on so long brother keep doing what you do. I live through your stories and videos. You stay safe and take care.
When i was young i wished for the same. Still do. Seems a person may often be born already knowing their own heart
Incredible story Scotty! Not many peeps would take that leap off the hamster wheel… 😎👍
Incredible Story Scotty...Loved it!!
Man your telling my story to the T. I rode bikes since I was 8 Im now 64 for 25 years I knew I want to be on the road, the road was were my mind was a ease. I ran out of money and always called dad and he saved my ass and would wire me money to get home or what I needed. Tried the married life 3 times, got the house with the white picket fence and it never worked. I never figured it out. Ive been binge watching your channels and its like looking at myself and figuring out where I may have screwed up. I am married to a good woman and she fought me and my motorcycle for a long time. I used to run with the wrong folks, never been in any real trouble but. I got on my bike the other day and left, didnt tell anyone where I was going for one thing I didnt know, I just rode like hell for 3 days. Im airing out my mind and Im to damn old to do what I love and thats riding. I just dont have the skills to make it much at a time. Just getting things off my chest. Glad I found this group of people.
To old? I'm 64 now. Cant see stopping.
Great story Scotty and thanks for sharing it ! Made me think about some stuff in my own life.
If thats true id bet my book would really change some things for u Chris.
You are an AMAZING and inspiring individual Scotty!
I was washing dishes in my house i owe way to much money for when you posted. Actually holding pots in my hand when you were talking about the pots fired in the garbage, lol. Made me wonder what the fuck
Im doing with my life. Scotty, seriously man the best video ive ever watched on you tube. Your a legend man, and im honored every time i watch your videos to be able to listen to your wisdom.
Thats a funny story Michael. Make u think of getting rid of some dishes?
Scotty has it figured out! More people around the World need to figure it out! Success in Life is Freedom, not acquiring things! You're the MAN Scotty! Stay Free and Safe! Let's Go Brandon! 👍🏻🇺🇸🏍
Great story and a Great Life!!! It's not about the destination , but the Journey forward.....
Hello Scotty! It is very interesting for me to follow Your videos. I am a fanatic biker despite my old age of 68 years. Im a nature born hungarian, living in Ukraine (in used to be Soviet Union). Your family name Kerekes is of hungarian origin and it means in hungarian "wheeler". Nomen est omen. Thank You for Your very exiting and interesting videos! I wish You all the best!
A Hell of a GOOD ADVENTURE
Your background explains a lot really. Glad you shared it.
God made you this way Scotty so he keeps you in that way. He also keeps you off of roofs! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I know that they help many face their fears. Not too long before I head out on my overpacked sporster. I'm building a return ticket to a job that I might need if I come to find out that God wants me here in Appalachia. Your welcome to camp at my camp anytime you're in Western N.C. the water is good and the air is clean. Peace brother!
Utube aint notifying me of messages these days is why I didn't see this till now. If you'd like a visit can you send the state, town name, and phone number for my records? scottykerekes@yahoo
Happy 2024 Scotty! Danny from Lazelle Street Sturgis 🙂
See u this summer Danny
I'm same age as you now, single, retired, ultra classic sitting in garage. Not anything I haven't thought of for doing for couple years now, so who knows. Thanks for telling your story.
Get a Motorcycle Camper hit the road
Have only just found this channel today … so came to this video to hear the story …. No words man
Just big love ❤️
Great attitude, and explanation of your life.
u wanted that mini bike cause u knew somehow it was the key to freedom ......ur a great story teller man ....love to go on a trip with ya !!!
Been traveling with more different guys these days. They just get a hold of me then decide to head in the same direction.
Good background explaination - I now understand why you live the way to do. I agree that kind of lifestyle is not for everyone and if you enjoy it that's great. I do agree that there were times that I felt I was working for things but you know what, at some point you get ahead of it. Now I'm debt free and I own stuff. But the stuff I own I enjoy. Yes I will own the house and it has bills but they aren't bad. It just takes time to get ahead of it but you eventually do. And I have a family, kids, and grandkids which are the greatest joy of my life. I'm glad you enjoy your life - it would be too lonely for me. We do have the bike life in common. I agree that longer trips (2 weeks) are freeing and I love doing it too. I couldn't live on my bike like you but I ride every chance I get. Stay safe Scotty
Contentment is where u find it ol boy 😊
great vid mate..l lived many years hich hicking round Australia with just a pack on my back.... l now live in a bus..& do long haul rides at least once a year... always over loading my bike..... about to leave on 5 thou mile ride down to Vic to see my best mate of 40 years for the last time.. he not got long left..... but l will come home to my bus.... cheers mate
Ive got 2 really old friends that died recently too. Comes with the years i guess
Thanks Scotty for the story
Been following you for a while now and love how you are so free compared to most people who are still in the matrix
Sometimes I have that feeling to give it all up break free myself
It was really the trailer-on-a-friends-property while getting rid of every possession i didnt actually use that changed it all Tim.
I don't think I could open up enough to tell my life story
Great story Scotty. Thanks for sharing. Hope to meet you someday.
Scotty is the real deal.
I just listened to your story Scotty, and it was really interesting , so thank you for sharing it , i really hope you enjoy your world for the rest of your life ! Amen Brother !
thanks for sharing
Gospel truth here...no lies on this channel. This really helped me, I can't talk to my folks about this stuff. Ive met few who could dig it. Thank you
Another good gig and rallies and events is security we work Security for Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale Arizona
Really makes you think about getting busy living and not staying busy dying, life is passing all of us by while we are so busy working ourselves to death for nothing......
Long ago David Rockefeler said, "I'm going to enslave the American people using debt". Many have fallen victim.
Very well said my friend and looking forward to meeting you out on the open road soon very soon I hope and pray I find myself being able to relate to a lot of your story how you ended up out of the road full time see you soon MR. TRAMP 😂😂😂
See u soon then, very soon 😉
Happy 63 scotty. Hang tough brother great video.
Ah, 60 fucking 4! How did this happen?
Good luck Scotty.
Hey Scotty , met a few times at sturgis last year being one of them it was pouring out. Anyway always great hearing your story. I envy you , I wish I could do it. I mean I could technically becuae everytime I get home from a trip after resting up i go back out week weekend whatever. I am always on my bike. Now it’s winter in the northeast and trying to figure a way to get to Florida again and get my bike down there on my truck. I want to live a simple life I work the 9-5 but luckily my job offers me a lot of flexibility but I just as soon be riding around the country and not be worrying about time. Will probably run into each other again this. Always good seein ya. Cheers
I’ve heard you tell it before but I enjoyed the recap. WOW Scotty you had movie star looks! I envy your freedom. I’m 62 and my longest motorcycle trip was Massachusetts to the Canadian border in northern NH. I got the itch to take a longer trip maybe the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. I hate the rat race but I’ve made considerable changes and work part of the year doing mobile small engine repairs, and take July-September off and just go and enjoy riding. Being female and this crazy world we live in I wouldn’t feel safe going off alone for months but I make sure I enjoy my time off. Love watching your adventures for sure. It’s fun to see how other people live and in the end if we’re grabbing enjoyment from life it’s all we can ask for. None of us are here for a long time but hopefully we can find ways to make it a good time before we end up star dust. ✌️
Have u seen this girl Xena?

Hi Scott. Love your programs. Just wanted to say. If you decide to come up to Canada again. I would. Be more than grateful. To have you at my place. I live in kelowna British Columbia. Look it up. I am in a place called kelowna b.c. love your flicks. Ride safe. I really admire you as the man you are. Gordon.
Hey Gordon, can u send me Provence, town name, and phone number for my records? scottykerekes@yahoo
Right on, Scotty
If you lived in Santa Cruz in the 60s and 70s, you may have bumped into my uncle Gerard "Jerry' Shay.
I think I was 10 the first time I read Johnathon Livingston Seagull...my Mom was a free spirit hippie back in the 60's. You remember what it was like back then. I got here in 62. Nam, Divorce, motorbikes, van, machining, Harleys, Beer, Weed, Wife, house, cars, trucks, motorhome, boats, and more. I think I hit every guardrail on the way down...
Every guardrail on the way down. Thats an interesting statment. If u mean drinkin, ive been sober 37 years. Best thing that ever happened.
@@scootertrampscotty each of those had some impact on my life. Some good but most were chains that kept me a slave to the dollar. Others were taking my freedom from me and I didn't even realize it at the time. The drugs and alcohol took my health and I let it happen. My life has been a train wreck from the beginning and I rarely had purpose so I say I hit every guardrail on the way down. Despite having had troubles I still manage to get up, wash off, and face what may come one day at a time...
Appreciate hearing the again Scotty. Have been following maybe as long as you been posting, we we both had darken hair. Given, 67th year, long timer living Hell's Kitchen, NYC, artist at heart here, horseman wannabe, children and grand. It's only been the last decade affording taken treks, 2-4weeks top, camping gear in tow, primarily back and forth, north and south. Have yet venturing far, east west, or affording $ Sturgis. I don't remember 1st seeing or ever meeting you, only in seeing your bike back when, like at a trade show. Best of 2024!
Sturgis is cheap. Camp with us for free. Just let me know and ill send coordinates.
We need more videos young man. You could always hire some college kid and and pay him a small percentage of the profits and make him do all the other thing and the BS work
Not making enough for that. My new vids usually come out on Saturday George 😊
That’s living right there! Keep on adventuring!!!
Thanks Scotty
Scotty you make me feel a little more normal man. One day I'll do the same and leave this all behind 50 60 hrs a week to pay for all the stuff I don't need. Has never made alot of sense to me. I hope one day I can get my daughter and her momma to see things a little differently so we can be free
Thanks for your story. This is jason, Saddle tramps Road dogg. I've been watching you over the years But this was a little more in depth into scooter tramp scotty. I enjoyed it. Thanks. I believe I can use some of what you said. Thanks
Incredible story Scotty my hat goes off to you. I’d like to try it sometime soon thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your story..
Scotty been listening to you for a few years as I am 69 now and time is going fast. My thing as I live off grid high desert AZ and took on taking care of the neighbors horses and a eye on their place next to my place. I sold my land to them and there's a story behind that but they hope I will live in my place and it fits as it's a 57 mobile with a couple of add on. Last one we took a third of the roof off the trailer Part and built a add on that took in the part of the trailer we did away with as that part was in bad shape. In my way of thinking I took on this job till I can either find a person I can trust not to rip these neighbors off as I am working towards a toy hauler for a base camp in different states. But finding someone to live in my place in middle of nowhere that a handshake means something isn't easy anymore. They are here off and on as they have a place in NM as he's still working. So I here taking care of both places. This time of year you have to break ice every morning and feed. Sitting here looking at snow. Not much but the cold is taking to my body to much. I ride a trike these days and yes I like having somethings. So one day I will see you out there. Keep sunny side up. Old Dike in middle of nowhere.
🖐😎
Thank you for sharing your life story with us, I’ve heard it before, but I didn’t know much about your childhood, you are very interesting person for sure, I still remember the day my wife walked into the kitchen, and we were talking on the phone, and just from the one sided conversation, she was hearing she knew it was you, and she was amazed that you called me, great times for sure, as always I wish you nothing but the very best and one day we hook up and ride together, I’ve almost hit you up a couple of times, but it just didn’t work out for one reason or another, but I look forward to that day Godspeed Scotty
Well, let me know if you ever find yourself out here.
I remember going to that trailer, & mmmm who is that hottie ? Good times brother. ❤
Definitely got my share of hotties back then 😊
👍

I love your stories 🇨🇦
classic video. so good.
Thanks for sharing my friend!
“Different time” 😅
Wow! Nice..
You can say that you're very lucky to have traveled the whole United States of Asia or Africa. Oh wait it's America. Great story. I'm sure you could elaborate a whole lot more. You are one interesting biker, dude. Keep the wind in your face.
👍🏍️👍
Cool story Scotty
👍🏻
Man...this is one hell of a story should be a fucking movie man. Shout out from west monroe la.
Hey brother, if you’re close to Tucson when you get back in the states let me know and we’ll meet. Always welcome here.
Most excellent story! Thanks for sharing all that I found it very interesting, btw Forgotten Angels Campout in Valrico Florida is happening in March 14 thru the 17th come fellership if you can 😎✌️
Won't be able to make that one. Maybe Thunder Beach in Panama City though.
I'm hoping you come back east sometime so I can meet you. I have several places you can put your house for how ever long you want. Joe Raider has been within a mile from my house. I'll hopefully meet him this summer 2024. Thanks Bro!
Can u send your state, town, and phone number for my records Mike?
scottykerekes@yahoo
Humma Humma 😁😜
Thank you, may we all have a Fuck Yer on ya for paving the way. 😊
Hey man, if you ever need some warm weather and some easy living for a bit, give me a shout. I'm in SW Florida.
I think I possibly meet your brother in Ireland, meet this guy a few years ago,I could see a resemblance...😊
He doesnt look much like me, and hes rather tall 😊
✌😎✌
hardship builds rrrreal character!!
😉🤙
rrrreally grrreat shit brrruthurrr!!!
🖖
all we rrrreally hav iz time.
Love this Scotty, thanks for sharing man. Would love to get together soon, been years since I shot the shit with you. Bear mountain run 2018 or 17 I believe
Dont u mean the Big Mountain Run?
@@scootertrampscotty that's exactly what I meant. Damn this brain of mine!!!
Scotty. Look on the album cover of a band called, Warrant. The album is called, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. Sweet dreams man. 😂
Hi Scotty. Do you ever miss riding the 250 two stroke? Or does the harley scratch the itch
What's the coldest temps you tend to do with that tent setup?
I dont know. Been pretty cold in there at times but i tend to follow the weather. Its 80s here in January 😊
odd question, but how do you work out on the road? do you carry weights ..?
If I'm in a town for long I always hook up with a gym. Need the showers anyway.
Daytona? Details?
Well, that particular ride is a whole other story. Think I wrote many parts of it for the magazines years ago though. One of them was the fist work of mine to be printed in Easyriders.
1/4 million doses ....LMFAO wow
3 bedroom cats dogs, two car , Were you ever married ?do you have children ?
No kids never married. Had ol lady, 3 bedroom house, 2 cars, truck, business, etc though.
That was a rest video Scotty. I had been following you for several years and then your videos just stopped on you tube. I know there has been a lot of political correct BS being wielded by these platforms but hopefully Elon has shown them the light. I hope you run into my other favorite you tuber “Ichy boots”. I bet that would be a fun conversation!
Hate to tell you Valk, but Elon is one of them. A very well know 33rd degree mason once said, and I quote, "When the people need a hero we will provide one." You can count that the same for Donald as well. Look to some of the free speech video channels search, Controlled opposition, and if you look enough you'll see. It's all a con my bruthu, and a good one because it works very well.
Well, in my 73 years I haven’t met anyone who isn’t flawed in some way. Most of the time we just try to choose the people we hang with or situations we get into that are not going to cause us too much trouble.
Still, life is a big surprise.
Any medical problems and how do (would) you handle them?
Good so far. Get teeth fixed in Mexico where I'm told medical is also cheap. But if one is indigent (the magic word) medical is always free.
Wheels of life
🧭
The jigsaw puzzle
Missing parts here and there
The American Dream
To do or dare
We all have a shovel
To dig or fill
To plant stability
But what is real?
To sale a dream
To buy then fade away
Experience missing pieces
Or a home wherever we stay
Wheels of life
Providence maps the chart
People making connection
And we barrow pieces and parts
Our road is our own
We gather dust and more
Crossing the bridge
To our final shore
