Thanks for checking out my new video!! The ride down south was very easy! As I mentioned, this is my first time traveling alone and my longest trip to date in one day! Being able to make my own time and travel at my own pace was priceless! I cherished the "me time" I got with my bike and no one else! I must say, traveling alone for so long to inevitably meet and hang with the Blockhead crew was the best "reset" I never knew I needed this year! Check out my video of how my bike was prepared and packed for my first 1,000+ mile road trip! czcams.com/video/tERC_nJBdCw/video.html
99% of all men will watch the eyes on you and that's for sure, many women biker vlogs will love it! but why is it that rare male biker vlogs like it! Why did it happen ! Lol ... 😄😄😄 that's the advantage of women is also more interesting in terms of how to talk and dress women's curves more beautiful in view of men ... The mystery of life about the strengths of women from the time of the Prophet Adam and Eve .... 😀😀😀 😀 You brave woman ride a motorbike to Florida alone and surely you also have experience in riding a motorcycle .... don't speeding later can be chased by the police .. 😀😀😀😀😀
Not intended to downplay your achievement. But in March this year I rode 2600 miles from Parma Ohio to Arizona (southern route) and returned 2055 miles (northern route) in May. Those miles were amazing. There are a lot of advantages riding solo. On my trip back to Ohio not a single drop of rain. LOL. I’m happy for you. Stay safe.
Nice. I’ve only done a few really long rides in my decades of biking. 700 miles in one day is quite an achievement. Here’s hoping you get home Covid free. Love your attitude. Plus one thing we have in common. I have done the vast majority of my biking alone. It has taught me one of the greatest things I have ever learned. How to enjoy my own company.
VB333 Gem Arizona was actually my favorite state to ride in. My Son lives in Scottsdale. So I went as many places as I could. Everything was closed though. Made it difficult. And yes, I would go back.
Solo riding, granted I love my group rides, but that solo, at your own pace, stopping when and where you want is priceless. Just riding in general leaves you speechless, then turns yiu into a storyteller!!!
congratulations on a good ride! My record was 5863 miles in 18 days. Rode alone, met some friends along the way, made a number of new ones. 50th Sturgis run, rode all through the Western states. Rain the first 10 days, I mean Tornadoes, Snow and Rain. Great time.. ; ) before the days of cell phones etc. had a map, fair idea of where I was going,,, not time line, no promises to meet someone. The folks I met on the way were great, kind folks letting me camp with them that type of kindness. Of course, on the way to Sturgis, chewing the fat with someone on the side of the road - I'll meet you in Mt Rushmore. I'll be the guy in Levi's the a Black t-shirt. Stay safe, keep your knees in the breeze. you win my respect for riding with those nutso's in traffic and rain! You Go Girl!!!
I really appreciate how precise you are with your lane positioning, and how crisp your steering input is. You are the first person in a while I have seen being careful to keep a staggered formation in a group. Good chops!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this vid. The extended scenes of just riding the roads made me feel happy. I nearly always ride alone, often long distances, and I love it. But, I wrecked my bike 3 weeks ago. Totaled. :( I was fortunate. Just a broken toe. But I'm in a kind of withdrawal without my bike anymore. Not sure if I'll get another or just get 4 wheels. But being able to enjoy the open road with you by proxy was the better part of my day. Thanks!
Looks like you had a great trip. The rain can be daunting, but you handled it with apparent ease. Looks like you made a lot friends! That will make an excuse for future trips; I’m sure. Nice Vlog and thanks for taking us along! Ride safe Jess!!!
This is the kind of trip that'll you'll remember for the rest of your life. So awesome you were able to share your journey. As far as the gators, they're there, but my wife swears they don't exist outside of captivity because she's never seen one lol. Ride safe. Oh, and I realized why I quit motovloging, yours are so much more fun and captivating than anything I filmed on the roads. Makes me want to start doing it again.
Hi Jess, I'm a rider from Australia (dirtbikes mainly) and I've recently picked up a highly modified Harley Street 500, in the future I hope to upgrade to a 2020 Street Bob. Your videos are awesome and I'm inspired by your channel, keep up the good work 👍
I’m riding solo from Seattle to Bonneville salt flats this weekend! Luckily meeting some friends there.. looking forward to the zero concerns of solo-ness though! Cheers
After decades of riding in all weather l finally broke down & picked up some rain gear. It's really not so bad showing up dry & warm!😆 Glad you had a great time!✌
Long cross-country rides are great! They can be grueling, for sure, but so rewarding and gives that sense of accomplishment. When you add weather to it, you really get a sense of having elevated yourself to an elite ridership level of can-do. I hope your videos inspire others to take the challenge to themselves, take a long ride, go camping, get wet. Anyone can trailer their bike to Daytona and ride around the block a few times on a sunny day. A real biker just rides and rides and rides, wipes the bugs off, dries out the drawers and rides more. Much respect for you Jess. If you ever pass through central North Carolina, I hope to run into you. I will have the hot coffee and your iced coffee is on me.
So glad you were able to take the trip. I am also glad you had a good experience. Also, you passed through my state of GA. Welcome! Hope it treated you well. Can't wait to see more videos soon! You're a rockstar! Blockhead was actually one of the major contributing factor of me getting into motorcycling, so it's really cool to see you guys meet, and get along.
Here I em 67 ,260lbs and Strong I eat Health foods and excerize all day doing my lawncare. And You are amazing. I've been thinging of riding my winters. But not sure I've never traveled ,but I could now I'll be on a 3 mouths paid vacation soon. All because of You young lady Your giving me the courage to do this. I respect You big time, and Thank You .My name is Tom. I live by Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Look that up once. Riding sanddunes was my favorite when I was young
I would love to meet all of you in n Ohio riders I'm in Pittsburgh Pa enjoy riding with others..... Let me know call me Smokey I love making homemade smoked meats.... & Smoked & sun dried meats
Flew solo into Orlando two weeks ago to pick up the bike that I’ve been wanting ever since it’s conception, the VMax. Also have not owned a bike since 1990. Took me parts of 3 days to make it 1375 miles back to NW. Ar. Caught in the rain 4 times, even squeezed in it’s first service at 400 miles. By far one of the best experiences that I’ve had getting back in the saddle.
Glad to see you were in my area, lived in Oakland, Winter Garden area. Have enjoyed the location you visited for lunch. Enjoy Florida. Just returned from a trip in the opposite direction FL, GA, SC, NC, TN and return, 2000 plus.
What an epic ride! Thanks for sharing part of it. I have been following Blockhead for years....back when he hit 1K subscribers and thought THAT was a big deal! He's come a long way and so have you. Sorry about the rain but it happens on those longer rides. Went through a terrible one years ago in Ohio on the way home to New York from Wisconsin. Got off the interstate and hit a road that was going east and that's all I knew. I was pondering how I was going to die: get lost and starve to death, run out of gas and starve to death or just plain starve to death. Hit a crossroad and found a restaurant that I had all to myself....three waitresses! I think they took pity on this drowned rat! The place mat was a map and, voila, I knew how to get back on track. It was a great ride and adventure. Ryde safe!
Hi Jess! Great video. It looks like you drove the same route I drove as a CDL-A driver. I delivered a specialized truck to a company near Tampa Bay after picking it up in Dodge Center, MN. My wife and I recently drove down to Key West and had such a great time. I love that you did this solo and that's a testament to your courage and motivation. I don't know if you finally got to see an alligator or not; I saw two while visiting friends in Sarasota. Not far from their home there (also own a home in Ohio near Columbus) is the Myakka State Forest where I camped one night. I rode with the American Legion guys and gals near Salinas, CA. We attended a rally in Merced and there were supposedly 3000+ riders! I will never ride in another rally again with that many bikes. Unless I'm riding with my brother and close friends I prefer to ride solo.
I’ve been riding a long time. I’ve done long rides , out west, Canada, Florida, ( Daytona ) Texas and even Sturgis SD. My next trip I want to knock off my bucket list is the PCH. It’s stories you can tell your grandchildren someday. Be safe and have fun.
I was watching your new video and commented and my almost 11 yr old daughter heard girl n motorcycle so shes now hooked on you. Then she saw this come up and florida (we love florida) she rides everywhere on the back of my harley all over wisconsin n the midwest and rides 50cc & 85cc dirtbike. She loves riding and your video showed her shes not alone. No girls in her school are into it. So keep it up your a role model for not only women riders but young women that love it
Hey Jess I had a meeting with the other 50,099 subscribers and we unanimously voted for more videos. The stretch between Wednesday and Sunday is what's hurting everyone 🤣🤣🤣🤣. God Bless
Congrats on the big trip looks like you handled it like a pro the Blockhead crew look like a really good bunch of people so I bet it was fun. Anyway awesome vlog good job.
Glad you made it down safe here in Florida and had a fun and relaxing time with the Blockhead crew Jess. We have some beautiful beaches along the west coast of Florida parallel to the Gulf of Mexico that I ride on the weekends. Hopefully you get a chance to visit. Thanks again for sharing your trip.
You did great especially with the weather. Happy to you enjoyed yourself meeting with Blockhead and crew. Enjoy your trip and let be a good stress reliever.
Man o man one beautiful lady that rides. Awsome thing here. Keep rideing maybe we will pass on the road one day. God Bless U and keep u safe on the road in Jesus name Amen.
Rain thru Cincinnati... Was coming South into Cincinnati from the Covington cut in the hill. Water was pouring buckets literally.. I opted to leave my wife (novice rider) and bike but in at Turfway to get my truck & trailer to pick her back up... Did I mention water coming down in buckets? I literally said my prayers and asked God to watch over my family. I didn't think I was going to make it. Big wheel bikes suck in the rain. Cars were flying past me at twice the speed. I don't get scared easily, but that night scared the heck out of me... Ride safe.
thanks for your upload, nice to watch some long distance footage. You have made me take my bike out to some longer trails around where i live instead of the back and forth to work. Thank you for your content keep it up
Hi Jess, another nice video. Glad you made it down to Florida. I have been following Blockhead for a long time now and like his stuff also. Stay safe and enjoy your trip back, hopefully with less rain. Doug in Germany
I’m so jealous. For the last ten years I’ve been dreaming of a bike trip like that but my ex wife was always finding something to stand in the way. Now that I’m free I’m just so excited to get up and go finally for me.
Hey Jess, sporting that new helmet! Red is definitely your color! Awesome ride. Congrats on your solo ride to Florida. I subscribe to your channel, as well as Blockheads, Shadetree Surgeons, and Flip Na! I have never met any of you but I feel like I know all of you and really hope that we all get to ride together. Thanks for sharing your Florida adventure and tell Blockhead that Roy from New York says hi. Please, be safe. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Be careful with the alligator thing. They can pop up, when you least expect it. Ride safe...
Awesome video! I'm moving from Hawaii to Cincinnati. I watched your video about Just going for it, it really made me consider bringing back my idea of riding from Cali to Cincinnati on the bike!
Really enjoyed this video...taken a trip seminar to yours A long time ago, from Michigan to Key West, Florida on my 1969 Electric Glide 1200cc. Your video brings back some great memories 👍👍 Thanks 🌹
Longest I have ridden in one day was 800 miles going to Kansas City. Hit rain in Logan, Ohio and it didn't stop until I hit the Illinois-Indiana border. Rode home two days later.
Loved your video! Funny, I live in South Florida (Boca Raton) and I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been on just about every road you've traveled (in my rig, we have a terminal in Columbus) and have been over that bridge from Cincy to Kentucky countless times. Great epic journey you took, was fun to watch. I myself just traded my FLSS for a 2020 Street Glide Special so I would definitely recommend a bagger if you continue these types of road trips. Safe travels and you just gained a subscriber. Brian
Found your channel tonite, you are fun to watch girl! I’m an avid cyclist , rode from L.A to Boston for charity awhile back. Now I have my motorcycle endorsement and loving the bike with a motor, sometimes I have to keep myself in check what “ bike “ I’m on lol!
I have two thoughts about this video: Jess complaining about not seeing a Gator in Florida, is like someone complaining about not seeing an armadillo in Texas. They’re out there. 😂 And also I love the Moto community so much and so happy I’m deeper into this side of CZcams. Everyone’s like all bikes are great! We have our preferences but if they have two wheels and a motor. ❤️ (I use to watch a lot of makeup/beauty videos, and well... you know 😬)
Speaking of armadillos, Do you know why the chicken crossed the road? To prove to the armadillo it could be done. I agree that if you ride and are not an idiot you are part of the family
"And show us a passage of time, We're gonna need a montage (Montage) Oh it takes a montage" Awesome ride - looks like you had an amazing time! Jealous!
The rain reminded me of my BRP trip and horrible rain the first 2 days in WV and VA. It is fun and nice to do trips alone. I just did another couple days in the smokies alone. Ride safe!
Great job Jess. I know it was just a snippet of the video but when you hit Cincinnati it brought up some happy memories i had in that town. Glad you made it safe, sorry about the GoPro. You should get an 8 as replacement with media mod that way no water can get in. Stay safe!
700 miles!!! That's amazing to say the least. I think I have ridden about 200 in a day but then I live in the UK so 200 here is not so easy. Well done and glad you had a good time.
When the montage started and you immediately cut to you in your poofy rain suit, looking like a cute marshmallow person I giggled super hard lol I feel that. I ride in FL and it rains constantly... safety or aesthetics... you usually can't have both. Look cool or stay alive? We choose the smart option if not the flattering one.
Seeing you show up on Blockheads channel out of the blue got me to subscribe to your channel. In fact, I'm using your videos to show / convince my wife that motorcycles aren't something to be terrified of. She hates that I ride and won't go anywhere near my bike. When I showed her one of your vlogs, she actually watched it.
Dang! Thank you for the subscription! That’s my goal, to show the pure lifestyle and enjoyment of this hobby! Of course everyone knows a horror story, but to live in the moment and enjoy the ride (literally and figuratively) is what it’s all about!
I am so excited to find you channel! And yes I found your channel by watching Blockheads channel! I would so love to ride down there to meet them, they seem like some amazing people! I have not seen that many of your videos yet but I am working on fixing that. You seem like an amazingly awesome person as well. I have never been in any group settings, just ride alone doing my own thing. Just started riding in May of this year and have about already put about 1600 miles on my first Harley! It is just a little Iron 883, but it is totally the love of my life.
700 miles in one day is a beast. I just completed a 5500+ solo trip of my own and the most I could scrape off in a day was 570. And I hate, hate, hate riding in the rain. You are quite the badass. Thanks for sharing your journey.
hey Sis! you did an awesome job on all of this!!!! the trip, the time here in sunny Florida!!! just everything! awesome edits! the music deff went with your attitude! edit; the goters where prob bunking down because of the storms that came through.
Wow; pretty impressive. 700 mile first leg had to be a bit on the grueling side. At the same time I get what you mean about a reset. Really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing
This is awesome! Love your vids! I planned on riding from Northern Kentucky (right across the river from CIncinnati) to Florida but unfortunately had to cancel the trip. So bummed! I will do it though! Let's ride if you come through the area again! Stay safe out there!
Awesome video!!👍🏿💯 Looks like that was a great ride through all the states. Pretty cool riding in the rain much as I dislike it, but it test your riding ability. Great job!!👏🏿
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see this video posted when I got out from work, been waiting forever it seems like. And you delivered! I'm kinda sad the new helmet setup doesn't let me hear Knox too much but amazing video!!!! Glad you had fun. Its good to see that those kinds of experiences really exist we just have to put ourselves out there and choose who we do it with... or just watch Her 2 Wheels and pretend youre hanging out with your bestie... Bye Jess!
Great video. That Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky traffic on 75 is a nightmare. Very cool seeing the places the BlockHead Crew visit from another’s perspective. Glad you made it back safe.
Fun video and I'm glad you had such a good time. I revel in my own memories of riding when I watch your videos. Takes me right back to trips, rides - solo and group, it just feels good to know every rider experiences many of the same things. It's wonderful. I'll will see you on the road someday. If you ever get to the Southwest (AZ) on " your own two wheels", I be happy to show you some local scenery and share a ride. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks for checking out my new video!! The ride down south was very easy! As I mentioned, this is my first time traveling alone and my longest trip to date in one day!

Not intended to downplay your achievement. But in March this year I rode 2600 miles from Parma Ohio to Arizona (southern route) and returned 2055 miles (northern route) in May. Those miles were amazing. There are a lot of advantages riding solo. On my trip back to Ohio not a single drop of rain. LOL. I’m happy for you. Stay safe.
Nice. I’ve only done a few really long rides in my decades of biking. 700 miles in one day is quite an achievement. Here’s hoping you get home Covid free. Love your attitude.

Gary Brown I returned to Ohio May 7th. COVID Free.
VB333 Gem Arizona was actually my favorite state to ride in. My Son lives in Scottsdale. So I went as many places as I could. Everything was closed though. Made it difficult. And yes, I would go back.
This is what motorcycling is all about ride a motorcycle everyone is family 👍
Solo riding, granted I love my group rides, but that solo, at your own pace, stopping when and where you want is priceless.
Just riding in general leaves you speechless, then turns yiu into a storyteller!!!
Yes I agree with solo riding, yeah team riding is great but doing it at you’re own pace is the best
Group rides are ok for short runs but I’d rather ride alone
congratulations on a good ride! My record was 5863 miles in 18 days. Rode alone, met some friends along the way, made a number of new ones. 50th Sturgis run, rode all through the Western states.

Damn, I hope you'll be able to ride again!
Great job
Brought back memories
I rode my 2007 Harley from Saint Augustine to Jamestown Kentucky straight through in February several years ago.
You're so badass. So many riders would have pulled over and waited it out. Way to go.
My hat is off to you. Even when I was a lot younger 700 miles in one day is a long ride. Thanks for the video.
Hello to a fellow Ohioan. I’m over between Dayton and Lima. Thanks for sharing your long distance ride with us!
Oh man I miss FL. The hanging Spanish
moss, river canals, lighthouses, and the OCEAN! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the next one! ☺️
Looks like you had a great trip. The rain can be daunting, but you handled it with apparent ease. Looks like you made a lot friends! That will make an excuse for future trips; I’m sure. Nice Vlog and thanks for taking us along! Ride safe Jess!!!
This is the kind of trip that'll you'll remember for the rest of your life. So awesome you were able to share your journey. As far as the gators, they're there, but my wife swears they don't exist outside of captivity because she's never seen one lol. Ride safe. Oh, and I realized why I quit motovloging, yours are so much more fun and captivating than anything I filmed on the roads. Makes me want to start doing it again.
1-up riding long-distance is wassup.
Totally honing those skills Jess!
Get out there & Explore!
Hi Jess, I'm a rider from Australia (dirtbikes mainly) and I've recently picked up a highly modified Harley Street 500, in the future I hope to upgrade to a 2020 Street Bob. Your videos are awesome and I'm inspired by your channel, keep up the good work 👍
@M Ski wasn't implying that it was, just saying what I'm getting next champ 👍
I’m riding solo from Seattle to Bonneville salt flats this weekend! Luckily meeting some friends there.. looking forward to the zero concerns of solo-ness though! Cheers
After decades of riding in all weather l finally broke down & picked up some rain gear.
It's really not so bad showing up dry & warm!😆
Glad you had a great time!✌
Long cross-country rides are great! They can be grueling, for sure, but so rewarding and gives that sense of accomplishment.

The “Nope.” when you passed the log truck had me rolling 😂 if you’re a biker and have seen that movie, you’ll always imagine that when seeing one
I didn't get the 'nope' what movie are you talking about?
@Tommy Ealey thanks 😊
@Tommy Ealey me too. Doesn’t matter where I am lol
So glad you were able to take the trip. I am also glad you had a good experience. Also, you passed through my state of GA. Welcome! Hope it treated you well. Can't wait to see more videos soon!

Solo trips are awesome. Group rides are absolutely amazing. It always great to find a group of people with like minded interests.
I bet that ride was awesome for the mental health. No conversation, news, phone or people. Just the bike and wind.
So happy you came to visit and glad that this awesome motorcycle community brought us together! Yay!
So happy you INVITED ME!! I had the best time seeing your stomping grounds!
So bummed I didn't make it up to hang, see ya in ohio!
Absolutely! We will hang for sure!
I watch all your channels ty for all for making me wanna ride again
I would love to meet all of you in n Ohio riders I'm in Pittsburgh Pa enjoy riding with others..... Let me know call me Smokey I love making homemade smoked meats.... & Smoked & sun dried meats
Happy you made it safe to Florida. Nice variety of bikes on that ride.
Hi Jess.greetings from Australia great ride thanks for showing some of your country
Glad you had a safe trip down and had a good time/ride with the Blockhead crew.

Awsome.....Safe travels and watch out for those T-Storms! Say Hi to Jerry Paladino while you're there too.
Jerry lives on my side of the state
@@eddyfaler5954 To me..you're all superstars for what you all do to inspire. Keep doing what your all doing!
Good on ya!! The beauty of riding solo is you get to call all of the shots... no compromises.
Ride safe Jess. Enjoy the moment.

You riding all that way by yourself is inspiring jess. Ive been thinking about a long solo trip and this is just extra motivation.
Congrats on the big trip looks like you handled it like a pro the Blockhead crew look like a really good bunch of people so I bet it was fun. Anyway awesome vlog good job.
Glad you made it down safe here in Florida and had a fun and relaxing time with the Blockhead crew Jess. We have some beautiful beaches along the west coast of Florida parallel to the Gulf of Mexico that I ride on the weekends. Hopefully you get a chance to visit. Thanks again for sharing your trip.
awesome Jess! glad you made it safely. looks like a great bunch of people. :)
You rock! I've been subbed to Blockhead for quite some time. Glad you had a good time in Florida. Ride safe
You did great especially with the weather. Happy to you enjoyed yourself meeting with Blockhead and crew. Enjoy your trip and let be a good stress reliever.
Man o man one beautiful lady that rides. Awsome thing here. Keep rideing maybe we will pass on the road one day. God Bless U and keep u safe on the road in Jesus name Amen.
Rain thru Cincinnati... Was coming South into Cincinnati from the Covington cut in the hill. Water was pouring buckets literally.. I opted to leave my wife (novice rider) and bike but in at Turfway to get my truck & trailer to pick her back up...
Did I mention water coming down in buckets? I literally said my prayers and asked God to watch over my family. I didn't think I was going to make it. Big wheel bikes suck in the rain. Cars were flying past me at twice the speed. I don't get scared easily, but that night scared the heck out of me...
Ride safe.
thanks for your upload, nice to watch some long distance footage. You have made me take my bike out to some longer trails around where i live instead of the back and forth to work. Thank you for your content keep it up
Looks like a good time was had by all! Congratulations on an epic solo roadtrip! That sort of trip can really challenge anyone!
Hi Jess, another nice video. Glad you made it down to Florida. I have been following Blockhead for a long time now and like his stuff also. Stay safe and enjoy your trip back, hopefully with less rain. Doug in Germany
Keep riding and ride safe. Awesome to hang out with the blockhead crew.
I’m so jealous. For the last ten years I’ve been dreaming of a bike trip like that but my ex wife was always finding something to stand in the way. Now that I’m free I’m just so excited to get up and go finally for me.
I have a supportive wife but still, have a hard time getting on a long road trip
My wife said it was either her or the bike. I don’t even miss the old girl. Me and the bike have been having a blast.
Hey Jess, sporting that new helmet! Red is definitely your color! Awesome ride. Congrats on your solo ride to Florida. I subscribe to your channel, as well as Blockheads, Shadetree Surgeons, and Flip Na! I have never met any of you but I feel like I know all of you and really hope that we all get to ride together. Thanks for sharing your Florida adventure and tell Blockhead that Roy from New York says hi. Please, be safe. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Be careful with the alligator thing. They can pop up, when you least expect it. Ride safe...
Awesome video! I'm moving from Hawaii to Cincinnati. I watched your video about Just going for it, it really made me consider bringing back my idea of riding from Cali to Cincinnati on the bike!
Don’t do it. Better yet we can just swap!!
Really enjoyed this video...taken a trip seminar to yours A long time ago, from Michigan to Key West, Florida on my 1969 Electric Glide 1200cc. Your video brings back some great memories 👍👍 Thanks 🌹
Longest I have ridden in one day was 800 miles going to Kansas City. Hit rain in Logan, Ohio and it didn't stop until I hit the Illinois-Indiana border. Rode home two days later.
Loved your video! Funny, I live in South Florida (Boca Raton) and I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been on just about every road you've traveled (in my rig, we have a terminal in Columbus) and have been over that bridge from Cincy to Kentucky countless times. Great epic journey you took, was fun to watch. I myself just traded my FLSS for a 2020 Street Glide Special so I would definitely recommend a bagger if you continue these types of road trips. Safe travels and you just gained a subscriber. Brian
9:47 so true. The group vibe is very important. Seems like a cool group there too!
Found your channel tonite, you are fun to watch girl!
I’m an avid cyclist , rode from L.A to Boston for charity awhile back. Now I have my motorcycle endorsement and loving the bike with a motor, sometimes I have to keep myself in check what “ bike “ I’m on lol!
I loved this video!!! makes me miss my road tripping days. I need a long ride somewhere soon. im glad you had fun and made it back safe
Wow .. what a trip that's a lot of saddle time!
Badass. Been wanting to take a vaca and head home for a weekend. 789 to back home.
Looks like you had an awesome time! Great vid as usual look forward to seeing the rest of your trip. Keep em coming Jess always a pleasure to watch!
On your next trip when you go through Cincinnati always take the 71 to 471 to 275 to 75 The construction down here is never ending.
I have two thoughts about this video:
Jess complaining about not seeing a Gator in Florida, is like someone complaining about not seeing an armadillo in Texas. They’re out there. 😂
And also I love the Moto community so much and so happy I’m deeper into this side of CZcams. Everyone’s like all bikes are great! We have our preferences but if they have two wheels and a motor. ❤️
(I use to watch a lot of makeup/beauty videos, and well... you know 😬)
There are also tons of armadillos in Florida.
Speaking of armadillos,
Do you know why the chicken crossed the road?
To prove to the armadillo it could be done.
I agree that if you ride and are not an idiot you are part of the family
We saw so many Armadillos (dead) on the roads during a tour of the Ozarks, we swore there was an Armadillo truck ahead of us throwing them off.

"And show us a passage of time,
We're gonna need a montage
(Montage)
Oh it takes a montage"
Awesome ride - looks like you had an amazing time! Jealous!
The rain reminded me of my BRP trip and horrible rain the first 2 days in WV and VA. It is fun and nice to do trips alone. I just did another couple days in the smokies alone. Ride safe!
Great job Jess. I know it was just a snippet of the video but when you hit Cincinnati it brought up some happy memories i had in that town. Glad you made it safe, sorry about the GoPro. You should get an 8 as replacement with media mod that way no water can get in. Stay safe!
you are awesome . much respect for taking that solo ride in crazy rain.
Love your videos! Amazing the way you edit and keep it all flowing. You really put off an awesome vibe!
Glad you got that ride in and spent time with friends, Greatvideo !
Love it travelling so simply not weighed down with heaps of gear congrats on your trip thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺😉
I’m a new rider, you just made me want to pack up and cruise to florida... thanks for the videos
700 miles!!! That's amazing to say the least. I think I have ridden about 200 in a day but then I live in the UK so 200 here is not so easy. Well done and glad you had a good time.
When the montage started and you immediately cut to you in your poofy rain suit, looking like a cute marshmallow person I giggled super hard lol
I feel that. I ride in FL and it rains constantly... safety or aesthetics... you usually can't have both. Look cool or stay alive? We choose the smart option if not the flattering one.
Log truck...NOPE, lol. I cant help but think every truck carrying stuff like that will turn into a 'Final Destination' movie any time I pass one
EXACTLY!
Seeing you show up on Blockheads channel out of the blue got me to subscribe to your channel. In fact, I'm using your videos to show / convince my wife that motorcycles aren't something to be terrified of. She hates that I ride and won't go anywhere near my bike. When I showed her one of your vlogs, she actually watched it.
Dang! Thank you for the subscription! That’s my goal, to show the pure lifestyle and enjoyment of this hobby! Of course everyone knows a horror story, but to live in the moment and enjoy the ride (literally and figuratively) is what it’s all about!
I am so excited to find you channel! And yes I found your channel by watching Blockheads channel! I would so love to ride down there to meet them, they seem like some amazing people! I have not seen that many of your videos yet but I am working on fixing that. You seem like an amazingly awesome person as well.
I have never been in any group settings, just ride alone doing my own thing. Just started riding in May of this year and have about already put about 1600 miles on my first Harley! It is just a little Iron 883, but it is totally the love of my life.
Dang! Thanks for the kind words lady! And congrats!!! That’s some good miles in just a few short months!!
Was a great time meeting you and getting to enjoy the ride around your welcome here anytime
700 miles in one day is a beast. I just completed a 5500+ solo trip of my own and the most I could scrape off in a day was 570. And I hate, hate, hate riding in the rain. You are quite the badass. Thanks for sharing your journey.
hey Sis! you did an awesome job on all of this!!!! the trip, the time here in sunny Florida!!! just everything! awesome edits! the music deff went with your attitude!
edit; the goters where prob bunking down because of the storms that came through.
Wow; pretty impressive. 700 mile first leg had to be a bit on the grueling side. At the same time I get what you mean about a reset. Really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing
This is awesome! Love your vids! I planned on riding from Northern Kentucky (right across the river from CIncinnati) to Florida but unfortunately had to cancel the trip. So bummed! I will do it though! Let's ride if you come through the area again! Stay safe out there!
Welcome to the Sunshine State... I had to learn in the rain over here...awesome video
Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing with us. Well done on making that long trip in all that rain! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Full respect! that was a long trip! Claps!
Great video and adventure for you and thanks for sharing this with us your CZcams family. Bye Stuart 🇬🇧🙂
Wow. Great trip. I love Florida.
Congratulations on the trip! I did the same thing a couple weeks ago. Texas to Wisconsin and it was amazing.
Best blog yet on this channel. Now go see the surgeon in the shade.
Loving your videos....it’s nice to see your enjoying motorcycling... a fan from across the pond🇬🇧
Looks like an awesome trip Jess. Glad you had a goldstones and meet up with another cool youtuber. Blockhead is how I originally found your channel.
Jess, you are amazing. I have been looking for this video and I loved it.
Awesome video!!👍🏿💯 Looks like that was a great ride through all the states. Pretty cool riding in the rain much as I dislike it, but it test your riding ability. Great job!!👏🏿
Cudos Jess. That’s some serious saddle time! Great video and a great bunch of people. Ride Safe 🙏🏻
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see this video posted when I got out from work, been waiting forever it seems like. And you delivered! I'm kinda sad the new helmet setup doesn't let me hear Knox too much but amazing video!!!! Glad you had fun. Its good to see that those kinds of experiences really exist we just have to put ourselves out there and choose who we do it with... or just watch Her 2 Wheels and pretend youre hanging out with your bestie... Bye Jess!
Great video. That Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky traffic on 75 is a nightmare. Very cool seeing the places the BlockHead Crew visit from another’s perspective. Glad you made it back safe.
Dang Dudette, you ROCK. That was a long-ass haul. ⚡️RESPECT⚡️. 50k is just down the street, 100k is on its way. 👍🏼
Good job! I admire your devotion to a goal. Ride Safe!
Fun video and I'm glad you had such a good time. I revel in my own memories of riding when I watch your videos. Takes me right back to trips, rides - solo and group, it just feels good to know every rider experiences many of the same things. It's wonderful. I'll will see you on the road someday. If you ever get to the Southwest (AZ) on " your own two wheels", I be happy to show you some local scenery and share a ride. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
