  • I can't find a place to camp at Big Sur so I stay in one of the best lodges I've ever stayed at. The Lucia Lodge on the coast of Big Sur California has accommodations with picture prefect views of the ocean. Includes motorcycle cooking and a relaxing adventure motorcycle ride along the coast of Big Sur all by myself. #motorcycletravel #bigsur

    Sometimes I'll watch a current video and think...this is the best video Sterling has done yet. And then you come along and knock another one out of the park. I don't know how you can possibly top this one. INCREDIBLE! The beauty, the filming, and perfect music. Being a rider, this just gives me goose bumps. Thank you!

    You've really outdone yourself with this one, Sterling. The closed highway all to yourself, the scenery, the taco truck, the tiny little seaside motel, the coastal vibe, the absolutely epic drone footage, the editing, the soundtrack, all of it! So very perfect in every way it practically brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for all you do for us dreamers. Cheers my friend!

    Have driven the Big Sur area many times but your excellent photography, drone shots and editing add a new dimension to my memory of this incredible area. I am a old man now and very thankful that I can relive the beauty and excitement I had many decades ago.............thank you!

    I gotta thank you Sterling- I was visiting in the Bay Area last summer, and because of this video, I stopped in at Luke Lodge at the end of a drive down Big Sur coast. Unlike you, I had clear skies in the morning- stunning views, especially from the hill overlooking the Lodge.
    On the way back, I had a bite at Nepenthe, then drove inland and had lunch at Alice’s restaurant.

    Thank you ! What a great presentation capturing the essence of Big Sur. I am a local and ride a K1300GT. Couldn`t anyone describe any better the riding experience of the area. But all you tasted was fraction of the whole ride down to Morro Bay. If the road was open then you woud have the experience of your life. Hopefully in the futre. Safe rides. Enjoy your channel.

    The Lucia Lodge was also featured in episodes of Ratched, a spin-off TV series about the Nurse Ratched character in One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest. I've stopped at Lucia Lodge numerous times for a break during trips up and down the California Coast. There was often a food truck there then, as well.

    Absolutely beautiful to watch. Love the way you flipped your travel experience of encountering the closed route into an entirely different, and possibly better, experience; meeting the taco truck and staying in that cool little place. Also got to ride Big Sur twice! Listening and watching the cooking prep always makes me hungry. 👍

  • @samhill3496
    @samhill3496 Před 9 měsíci

    Have had the pleasure of the same ride and drive several times when I lived there. It's great to see a road closed sign, no traffic coming or going. Opportunity to see things you generally don't get to. I've ate at the motel restraint a few times. The road was closed then. I had to inspect the company doing the work. Great job. There is still a good ride back to AZ. A lot of diverse climate and scenery depending on the routes one takes. I did it several times when I lived in Payson. Being American, why do we want to go anywhere else. Looking forward to the next journey. You do a great job with the vid and drone shots. Good scene sequence and switching. Music Always interesting. Next time.

    Thanks for the great video Sterling. You really are bringing back memories of riding down the coast on my Pan America. I can still feel and smell the coastal fog that rolls up the cliffs and shoots over the road. Oh man just the way that ride up the coast feels in the morning. Excellent Job capturing it.

  • @oobmaine04064
    @oobmaine04064 Před 9 měsíci

    Sterlin..... when you popup at the Lucia Lodge I knew I had seen those cabins somehwhere????????? just an fyi the NetFlix thiller series "Ratched" was filmed there. I pulled this from the web ........ Ride Safe.
    The show is set in the 1940s in Lucia, California, a small village south of Monterey. The town of Lucia is named for the surrounding Santa Lucia mountains. Located along notoriously beautiful and winding Highway 1, Lucia is a small community that consists of a hotel, restaurant, and gas station.
    In the first episode, we see Ratched check in at the Sealight Inn, where she will live during the series.
    The Sealight Inn is actually Lucia Lodge constructed in the 1930s by the Harlan family and is still under management by 5th-generation Harlans. The motel features 10 cabins and rooms, set on a cliff 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean
