A Motorcycle Trip Documentary. Every Mile a Memory.

- A motorcycle trip documentary covering my 5000 mile motorcycle trip around the country. I wanted to share my thoughts and what I felt as I took my Harley Davidson Road Glide Special on a bucket list trip. This is the first documentary since Sturgis Doesn't Care. I'm hoping this film motivates you to take your own trip, maybe film your own documentary about your motorcycle travels. Go visit that old friend, and see the world on a motorcycle. I take you from San Diego, through Arizona, across New Mexico and Texas, into Oklahoma for the Fast Life Garage Camp out at the KRiver Campground. I then ride up to Arkansas and into Missouri. We visit some new friends in Iowa and get stuck in a Tornado, on the motorcycle in Minnesota. I put a total of 5600 miles on the bike and just as many memories to go along with it. Seeing the world on a motorcycle is completely different than a car. You feel your environment. Motorcycle documentaries are my passion and now I wonder what adventure should I plan next?

After riding my share of trips, here is my advice.
1.) Avoid the interstates as much as possible. Two lanes are the best.
2.) Don't overextend yourself by riding too much. When planning a trip, try a six hour route from point A to point B. This gives you time to stop and enjoy the sights, eat, relax and get to your hotel or campground at a decent time. I've done 8:00am till 8:00pm, no lunch, only stopping for gas for several days. Not worth it. Trailer your bike or fly in and rent a motorcycle if need be. If you are not enjoying it, why are you doing it?
3.) Carry good rain gear! Heated gear if it's going to be below 50 degrees. I have started off the day at 52 degrees and ended up riding in 106 degree weather. Buy a cooling vest and kept hydrated if the temps are hot. Start feeling sick, nauseas, about to pass out, pull over, get liquids in you and cool off before continuing. Soak yourself in water if need be, you will dry off.
4.) Carry minimum amount of clothing. Leave the razor at home. Less is better.
5.) Make sure you motorcycle is up to par maintenance wise.
6.) Some say don't book hotels/motels/campsites but you could run into No Vacancy. When booking, look at the last 4 months reviews (You would be surprised). Some of the small mom & pop no frills hotels/motels have turned out to be the best and cheaper.
7.) Be aware of your surroundings. There are places where you don't want to stop at much less spend the night.
8.) When riding in remote places, be sure you have gas. Some places on the map look like they should have a gas station but don't. Even if you have 1/2 or 3/4, stop and get gas.
9.) Some of the National Parks now require a vehicle reservation. They only let in a few hundred in a day. This pilot program is an effort to reduce congestion, improve visitor experience, and protect park resources so they say. They only release them every year in spring I believe and from my understanding go within the first few minutes after being released. Go visit the government national park website for more information. There were a lot of pissed off people arriving at the entrance gate not knowing this and I was one of them.
10.) Leave a travel plan with your loved ones checking in with them when you leave out and get settled in for the day.
11.) Start feeling tired, exhausted, pull over. Stretch, walk around. Drink coffee, tea, energy drink, five hr energy thing.
12.) My personal preference is not going in large groups. Solo or a few close like-minded riding buddies is ideal.
Thanks for sharing Mojoman Murph.
I agree with this, I always plan a 4 hour ride day, sometimes I go over but that gives me time to relax and enjoy the backroads.
Dude, you nailed it. After 8 years of riding my advise will be the same :)
This is the greatest advice anyone could give. I hope people take the time to read all of it. It could make life so much easier and enjoyable.
I appreciate this comment, im in the military and im 1 month away from not only getting my first bike but getting my first Harley, and im trying to take trips often so I appreciate you sharing your experiences
The time spent on the trip pales in comparison to the time spent creating this short film. So incredibly proud of the work you put into this. To get to see the behind the scenes and trials and tribulations and how it all came together is inspiring. You have such an incredible talent. So blessed to be along for the ride. Love you. 💗
None of it...and I mean NONE OF IT, would be possible without you baby. Thank you for the continuous support you show me, and have always shown me. You make these things happen and really deserve the credit. Love you!
So true 💯 Thank you for sharing him & abilities with us
She is a keeper :D
@@FullThrottleHOG You're lucky to have such a wife.
You 2 are so sweet, I just got diabetes reading this.
Thank you Brother for this film.. You said so many things that are so true about a solo ride. I am 71 years old and still ride solo. I got to do a multi day ride to visit an old riding buddy. Over beers we relived "the good old days"
In 2020 I did a 4 week trip and at every stop I managed to meet someone who wanted to talk about my trip.
When I ride I let my soul fly.
AT 72 I don't know how many more riding years I have left, but I will ride till I can't get a leg over my steel horse.
Thank you for the great video
I was thinking of giving up my bike after 50 years of riding but this video just may make me reconsider...Ride safe Brother...
Hello Frank. Thank you for the kind words. I really hope you reconsider as you probably have some of the most amazing stories from the road. Keep making those memories. Thanks for watching and ride safe out there.
I just completed a 8500 mile lap of Australia with my son on our Softails. Best time of my life. Slept under the stars by w fire every night. Rode in 45°c heat, and 5°c cold and loved it all. Irreplaceable memories.
I have to say this is one of the best short films I've watched about riding motorcycles on trips and the way it makes you feel on CZcams! I'm not far from going on a trip of my own. Their is nothing that compares to riding a bike and just finding yourself and meeting other people that ride along the way. Awesome video buddy!
Thank you TopGun194 for such a great compliment. I appreciate you watching. 🤙🏻
I JUST BOUGHT A HARLEY AND JUST TURNED 57 AND I'M GOING OUT THIS YEAR, I NEED IT! THANX, GOD BLESS!
Waterloo, IA. I ride a 2018 Road Glide Special. Favorite recent memory is meeting up with this dude who was on a 5k mile road trip across the country for dinner and then escorting him to a local dealership so he could get his 25k Service done.
🤣🤣🤣 Wait a minute, this sounds familiar. 🤙🏻
Waterloo, IA riding a 2019 Street Glide. After meeting Ryan in-person on this trip I can’t wait to see this premiere…I know it will be absolutely EPIC! Thanks for the memories my friend!
Anamosa,IA Approves this message!
DM me the IA feed back. See you soon brother.
Incredible storytelling and camera work. This sums up riding and why we have the passion. I’m from Maryland and my favorite memory is riding with great friends through Vermont and New Hampshire. Incredible memories.
Can’t wait to make it over to your neck of the woods to do some riding. Thanks for watching!
Omgoodness... You just inspired me... I'm 62years young, and always wanted to do that Blue Ridge Mountain ride, your video was very emotional to me. enjoyed it so much...
From the Dubuque Iowa area…saw the “Sturgis doesn’t Care” and I was inspiredto step out of my comfort zone and I am heading to Sturgis for pre-rally and Ralley on my Road King Special! Thank you for these inspiring videos!
Thank you for watching Grumpr and for checking out the channel.
That’s LIVIN’ right there Grumpr!! Love those stories!
This is sooooo hardcore. Motorcycle trip in a tornado?!? Man you’re inspiring me to road trip!
Thank you Chris. Having this film inspire others is seriously the greatest compliment. Ride safe. 🤙🏻
I gotta say that riding the Going to the Sun Road has been the best ride that Brenda and I has ever taken out of 46 year's of riding together, it was just amazing with the roads and the views, can't wait to see this premier brother💯👊🏽😎
I will put that one on the bucket list! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait for you to see this film brother. 🤙🏻
I could not agree more….the greatest stretch in the USA…. One secret. If you’re willing to get thru the parks gates before 6am, as the sun starts to come up, they let everyone thru without a reservation, and the traffic is virtually nil.
@@DeBa1226 beautiful and awesome aren't even the right words...it was just the most amazing place I've ever ridden....and we got through the first time while they we're closed so we just went for it lol, I would definitely go back again
@@OZARKSHDRIDERS in a heartbeat…. I literally could use up the whole day passing thru GNP, despite its only like 65 miles from west entrance to east gate. Check out Matt Laidlaw vlog, as he rolled thru there with friends; he posted an amazing video! The Ornery One also vlogged it. And when you get to the east side, take a few to stop in to Many Glacier Hotel for a bit. Saw our first Grizzly bear a quarter of a mile from the hotel entrance, walking just off the edge of the road. I’ve seen most of our National Parks, but Glacier is second to none….. and didn’t you find Whitefish & Kalispell pretty cool towns?!
@@DeBa1226 both of those towns were pretty cool town's.....we came in from the east entrance of Glacier and rode it to the west end....and you are correct about it's second to none....absolutly the best place I've ever ridden in 50 year's of riding bike's....defiently can't wait to go back brother💯👊🏽😎
Great story I’ve watched it multiple times. Me and my neighbors will be taking off 1 week from today it’s going to be my first cross country trip and I can’t wait nothing makes you feel more free then riding that Harley.
Thank you Justin. I really appreciate it. Safe travels on your upcoming trip. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I am absolutely amazed at the awesomeness of your work. Top Tier!!! Definitely inspiring me to rob a bank so I can travel the country full time for a year or so. Thank you so much!
Please don't rob a bank...lol. I appreciate you taking the time to watch these films. The ultimate goal is to inspire others to get out there and ride. Be safe.
Videos like this are what it’s all about! Watching this makes me realize what a video should be like! I’ve never made anything this good ever! Great job!
Thanks Big Smitty. That really means a lot man. Trust me, I wish I had your gift of speaking to the camera and the audience. You're an artist brother.
@@FullThrottleHOG thank you for the kind words. The gift of gab comes easy to me but the practice and study it takes to produce the quality and thought provoking videos you do is amazing! Excellent work my friend!
As a fellow Moto centric CZcamsr that puts a lot of effort into editing I can tell you I appreciate the effort you put into this. Excellent work.
Thank you 🙏🏼. I appreciate you giving the film a look and for the kind words. Ride safe. 🤙🏻
I thruhiked the AT and have a similar mindset that you expressed in this film. It's another subset where comradery is fast formed and long lasting. It also shows how generous and kind people can be in each Smalltown USA that you walk into. Walking over 2,200 miles changes you in a fundamental level as I'm sure these road trips change you. My feet stay itchy now chasing the dragon of my AT adventure. I plan on getting a bike in the coming months and riding cross country. I owned sportbikes before and never thought to undertake a cross country trip (especially noot on a ZX-10r.) Hopefully it scratches that itch in my soul.
I love watching these videos I've been riding for 44 years around the country i had to stop distance riding because of back problems i still ride around town. I miss the open road. To all who ride be safe and have fun.
Sometimes you come across such fantastic story tellers... you suddenly start missing your motorcycle and makes one go and ride again... beautifully compiled and narrated... God speed and can't wait for the next one .... Take Care
Thanks brother! Keep riding and I will see you again soon.
Cowpens, SC Motorcycles add life to my days. Every trip every mile, becomes a memory that makes me smile. Sturgis, Laconia, Daytona, Myrtle and all points in between. Wow what a great example of the true meaning of a two wheel trip. You sir said it all for me! Love the channel. Thanks Brian The Upshift Podcast 👍🏁🏍🇺🇸
Thanks man. I appreciate you watching. This kinda support means a lot. Be safe.
Just came upon this video by chance. Wow! Great camera work and editing. Along with words that truly touch the soul. Massive respect.
Thank you David. 🙏🏼. I really appreciate you watching.
I just go back from a 3000mile solo road trip through the USA from Canada. Started in Toronto, stopping in Cincinnati OH, Knoxville TN...riding the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway, though NC and SC to Myrtle beach then north to Philly before breaking down in Baltimore....visiting a friend in New Jersey before heading home.
Without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself. I spend lots of time alone but this was unique being the only time I've spent my alone time on my Harley. I got home this past Sunday and immediately missed the road. Your clip of the Ozarks has inspired a new trip for next year it might have to be with the girlfriend this time.
Awesome! Thanks for watching Joseph and I'm happy to hear this has inspired another trip. That is definitely one of the greatest compliments I could receive.
Ryan this was absolutely amazing! I was glued to every aspect of the video and you told the memories well. Another fantastic video brother 🤘🤙✌️
Thank you brother. Thanks for the thumbs up. I appreciate you!
@@FullThrottleHOG agreed! I wanted two hours of this film!
Ryan, another great film! These are the types of films that inspire others to get on the road. They truly capture what it is like to ride and make new lifelong friends. Your ride through Arkansas brought back memories of the Peel Ferry and meeting some guys at our hotel that ended up riding with us for 3 days in the Ozarks. That will always be a great memory for me and a reminder just how easy iti is for us to connect with others. Kudos to you! Well done! Now to share this with some of my friends so they can enjoy it as much as I did!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Yes please, share it with as many as you can. This one was more personal than other films I've created and It would mean the world to me if I can get this one out to more people. Thanks again.
@@FullThrottleHOG My pleasure. It's been share to two groups of fellow riders. I know they will enjoy it as much as I did and will hopefully get you a few more susbscibers. Look forward to your next one. Be Safe!
You are a great storyteller which is a gift thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for watching. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024
It’s actually difficult to find words to describe how good and beautiful was your work .
I will say ; awesome 🙌:) , but I’m sure I could use many more !
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film. 🤙🏻
One of the best right here. Didn’t feel like 22 minutes went by. Out effing standing bud
SALTY!!!!! thank you so much. That really means a lot. They say you are most critically judged by your peers and I can't tell you how much this meant. I appreciate you both.
Council Bluffs Iowa, riding on a 2020 Street Bob and my favorite riding memory is any time I’m riding around in the Black Hills of South Dakota! Be safe. 🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hell yeah man! Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
It’s been 5 years since my last road trip to Arizona Bike week. You’ve inspired me to go on another ride this summer of 23. Thank you.
Probably the best compliment I could get. Inspiring others is the main goal when creating this film. Thanks for watching.
I'm so happy that you have said these things because I have also felt these feelings and thought I was crazy I can't believe how much I love this country and how beautiful it is and the people in it are amazing we need to stop watching TV and get on the road and meet each other again have a beer have a laugh and learn to love each other again.
Great points there Frank. Thank you so much for watching this film. Be safe.
Our Channel started to document our trip to Adam Sandoval's World record ride in Paris Texas. Definitely my fondest memory on two wheels, and 3 years later we are still creating CZcams videos!
Hell yeah brother
And great CZcams videos at that. Thanks for watching fellas.
I'm going to miss you in Sturgis...FYI
LEAVE A COMMENT TELLING ME YOUR CITY, STATE, OR COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE FROM. I'D ALSO LIKE TO HEAR YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY FROM A ROAD TRIP, ie: "2012, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally"
Ryan, my anxiousness to see this film over-rode any comparisons to your previous Sturgis short film; never thought about it once…really just wanted to get in a bunker, no interruptions, and enjoy THIS film. And it did not disappoint. Just watching you pull away from your garage, leaving the house….that moment right there struck a chord with me. I’ve had a number of big road trips taken, everything that leads up to that, the planning, the packing, getting my bike right… then pulling away shifting from 1st to 2nd, there’s just a moment there you take a big breath, exhale, and think… here we go. I felt that again as you left the house. I gotta say, you had a few “choked up” moments for me in that film. Just can’t explain it, people have to experience it. Like you & George said, it’s personal, you’re narrating from your heart, where you’re at in that moment. Really it’s a personal story, a personal testimony if you will. It’s your story, it’s inarguable, it can’t be debated…. It’s your story and that’s what makes it impactful, AND that’s where it connects with so many who’ve either enjoyed the same experience, or those vicariously living out such an adventure thru our stories, in hopes they one day take that leap of faith, to go there for themselves. Such an impactful film that really resonated with me, fueled so many of my own riding experiences, which keeps us topping off our tanks, and staying in the saddle. Thanks buddy, a fantastic film.
Thank you De Ba. I appreciate you giving this film a look and for sharing your thoughts on it. I really hope others get a chance to see it and find some inspiration. Be safe and thanks again.
@@FullThrottleHOG Just went back to re-watch Sturgis Doesn’t Care, and I just don’t want to get caught up in comparing. I just want to enjoy them both, each has an impactful message that should just be enjoy. I saw where your teaser International? If that’s personal to you, you absolutely should. I’m more of exploring every corner, and backroad on my home soil. There is so much unseen by the masses here. I could never pull off a short film as you do, but for me I could see myself riding out each National Park on this side of the Mississippi, maybe all the major Peaks & Passes ie; Beartooth Pass, Logan’s Pass, Independence Pass, Wolf Creek Pass, Pike’s Peak, Mt Evans, Trail Ridge Road on one trip. Another short film on everything to the east of the Mississippi. Maybe All Lower 48 States in another. Maybe pick a year and right to every major rally in the US. I personally feel for me there’s a lot to see, smell, and experience here at home before I ship abroad. Not to mention, this Country needs an inspirational uplifting now. 🇺🇸👊 Irregardless, man I love the quality of your work.
De Ba---thank you for saying what i didn't know how to say.
This Is My 2nd Time Watching This Vlog; And I Didn't Realize How Inspirationally Entertaining It Is... Great Content .... Hog Life 👑
Thank you 🙏🏼. I appreciate you giving it a second look.
As someone who is about to embark on my own epic Journey, This was absolutely beautiful man. And hopefully I'll get to meet you in Sturgis this year.
Thank you so much. Yes! Please keep an eye out on IG on where I will be and where I will be going. Worst case, just shoot me a DM. It would be great to meet you.
That was one amazing video/film!! I too love long distance riding. You’re absolutely correct, every mile a memory and story!!
I’m still hoping to get my channel going. It’s been a slow go learning process somewhat because of some health issue!!
You tell a great story but there’s only one about your story/documentaries, they ended too soon and left me wanting more!!
Congratulations on a stellar video and safe ride across our beautiful country!!
Thank you Dusty. I guess that is not such a bad thing. I was told once that the whole point of a film is to have the audience wanting more while still delivering an impact. Truth be told, this concept was the main focus on the film. I appreciate your feedback and I hope you continue to follow along.
Awesome trip, thanks for taking us along.
I appreciate you following along Kris! Ride safe.
🥺🥺Goosebumps, so inspiring.
Thank you 🙏🏼. I appreciate you watching the film. Having it provide inspiration is one of the best compliments I can get. Be safe. 🤙🏻
Hello Ryan, just want to say what an incredible story teller you are. This was so good it should inspire so many people to get out and do this. We have been watching your videos and we want to do this but our problem is we dont really know where to start to plan something even just a small trip when you dont really know were you are going and maybe we are just putting to much thought into it. But I want to say thank you for what you do so Stay Safe out there
Thank you Cathy. I really appreciate you watching and for the comment. Definitely don't overthink it. I found myself getting bogged down that way. Enjoy the ride and be safe.
Amazing video Ryan! This is giving me inspiration for the trip I have planned around the US. Except I’m doing it on a 43 year old dual sport that I’m restoring right now. I’ll definitely be hitting up KRiver and many of the places I’ve always wanted to see but always made up excuses why I couldn’t. No more excuses, it’s time! When I’m in a rut working on the bike, I’ll just re-watch this video. It gets me pumped up. Thanks Ryan!
That's a pretty awesome compliment Two Wheeled Hepkat. It looks like you have an epic journey in your future. I would really like to hear all about it. Keep in touch and ride safe.
@@FullThrottleHOG Thanks Ryan. I used to live in San Diego so I’ll be making a stop there to visit friends. I’ll have to buy you a beer when I’m there too.
Thank you for that video traveling 5600 miles it gave me a chance to look at what you did I know I'm 64 but that doesn't mean nothing gives me inspiration to do a trip thank you for your videos take care your friend Richard
Thank you Richard. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. It is a great compliment to hear that this video gave you some inspiration. It truly was one of the main goals of the film. Thanks again and be safe.
Ryan I've watched this a few tines now. Love it brother.
Thanks brother. I thank you again for taking a peek at the first cut. I appreciate you man. Be safe.
Omaha Nebraska and the Ozarks and peel's ferry it is pretty awesome in northern Arkansas
That was so amazing Shane! i can't wait to get back out there. I am seriously thinking of moving out there in the next 18 months.
All set, just like Rob said.. can't wait for this & to get ya on my live stream aswell ✌🏻🍻🤙🏻
We will make it happen. Sooner or later, it will get done. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Again INCREDIBLE! Thank You! God Bless Be Safe!
Thank you for watching. 🤙🏻
I’m also from SoCal. Every year I attend a moto run in Winnemucca, Nv. I put at least 2000 miles on my street glide. This year I’m headed north from Nv into Oregon and Washington St. thanks for the inspiration.
Nice! That will be an amazing trip for sure. Be safe.
I got a major complaint!!!! It ended 😂😂. Great job Ryan
Thanks Steve. I appreciate it brother. Will I be seeing you in Sturgis???
Outstanding sir!
You are amazing!
Thank you! I appreciate you giving this film a look.
Inspirationaly awesome! There should be NO EXCUSES as to why you shouldn't be riding! Brother, this vid was truly inspirational. There are just no words to describe this. Oustanding docu vid!
Thank you so much. 🙏🏼
Got tied up and missed the premiere, great video, only thing wrong, seen Adam, Randell, Dan and Brenda, but no Matt! kidding of course.
Next time for sure brother. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
@@FullThrottleHOG I should see you in September!
Amazing and inspirational. Great work on the production. I was sad it was over so quick. Stay safe!
Thank you Akeo. I am toying with the idea of doing a full length doc. My goal is to have this video shared with as many people and current, or potential, riders. Please share on your social media pages. Thanks again and be safe. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Dude.. You are SERIOUSLY talented at film production and storytelling. Holy shit. That was one of the most immersive and captivating youtube videos I've seen, probably ever. Outstanding job. I just came here looking for reviews of road glides, lol. You've just sold a Harley to a total stranger 😂 and earned a sub. Cheers, bro. 🤙keep it up.
Thank you for such a nice compliment. I truly appreciate it and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024. Please come back and let us know what bike you decided to go with. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter the brand, just getting out there an chasing down those memories. Be safe.
I love the intro brother. And enjoyed the ride as well. Just retired and got a bike. I rode 34 years ago for a little while. But now I find myself with that Tingling excited energy I had as a young man. It's great and I look forward to each day. Lord be willing I'll catch up with some of you folks along the way. Love to all my brothers and sisters in The Wind, go and be blessed 😉
Ryan, Thank you my fella brother in arms for such an amazing, intellectual, awesome, and definitely inspirational journey you just took us all on. Well Done! If you are ever in the Memphis, TN area, hit me up and I'd be glad to put you up and crush some miles with you. God Bless you Sir....and always keep the dirty side Down (author: Adam Sandoval)
Thank you TGE 1DownthenUp. I do plan on making it out to TN in the future.
Amazing man! I also want to do a ride like this solo. Looks like. An amazing experience. Thanks for bringing us along! Do you usually ride solo?
Thanks Gregory! When I'm filming, I find it to be easier to ride solo. If I have people with me, I'm always feeling like I am holding them back because filming takes time and patients. I appreciate you watching.
Not gonna lie. Raindrops on the blacktop got me. It is truly a “If You Know You Know” thing.
Amazing video. Thank you for taking the time and and sharing your story. You definitely have inspired me! I'm 63-year-old retiree and I want to experience what you have before I get too old. I'm ready to purchase a 2015 Road glide from a good friend. Could you please share what style and handlebars you have on your bike as well as the height and style of your windscreen? Those two in themselves can make or break the comfort of your ride. Thank you
Thanks for watching Tracer. I'm rocking the 14" Paul Yaffe Ape Hangers and the 12" Pro Touring Flare from Klock Werks. Hope this helps.
@@FullThrottleHOG Perfec. It looked like you had a Klock Werks windscreen but still wanted to check. Again thank you. Your video came at a perfect time for me personally.
Awesome! As Adam Sandoval says, buy the damn bike!!! Great choice of bike, you’ll never regret the experiences or the community that is yours just waiting for you!
A great video buddy, very well produced, like tippy top... deserves millions of views, so keep at this quality man,
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Please feel free to share it with as many as possible. I would love to get this in front of more viewers.
One of the best videos I’ve ever watched! Thanks for sharing.
Such an awesome compliment! Thank you CAROLINA WILDMAN. I appreciate you watching the film. I hope you feel comfortable sharing this video with others. Be safe.
I remember when you decided on that impromptu SS1000 lol
bro, it's amazing how much shit those bikes can carry, when you're unpacking at the motel is when it all comes together, lmao
Man, i wish i was able to hit that FL Campout
International huh?
It was a great time for sure. Hopefully you and I can link up again soon. Be safe man.
Watching this video has brought tears to my eyes. Not because it is sad, this is an extremely well-done video. It brings up so many memories of all the motorcycle trips that I have taken over the last 40 years visiting 49 states and most of the Canadian provinces. What is sad for me is my riding partners who are gone that made those trips so special. Especially my wife who loved to ride but sadly passed away in 2020.
Thank you for giving this film a look and for the comment. The memories we have of those we lost are always difficult to navigate. Thank you for sharing your story. I have a new film coming out next week that I hope will provide some more good feels. Be safe. 🤙🏻
Great short film. This is right up there with Sturgis Doesn't Care. I love the camera and drone footage. I always enjoy watching your videos. Great job.
Thanks MN Biker Adventures! I worked hard to make sure the film would entertain those who loved Sturgis Doesn’t Care. I appreciate you saying this. 🤙🏻
Awesome story telling. Can’t wait to see where the ride takes you.
Thank you! I appreciate you following along and showing support. Be safe.
Riding has become my life in the last year.. Bought my first Harley.. Turned 60 last month.. 3 more years and retire on the bike
That's awesome Rabbitt Roger. I appreciate you watching this film and best of luck on your upcoming retirement. Be safe.
This has got to be one of the most, if not THE most inspiring motorcycle travel films I've seen to date! I loved everything about this. Great work and thank you for putting so much heart in to this!!!
Thank you so much Scott. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for such a thoughtful comment. Be safe.
I was cracking up. With your weather situation. I can't tell you how many times. An overpass in the middle of nowhere. Has saved my biker keester. From rain so hard you can't see, wind and hail. When you said "it's only 13 miles. I can make it." I chuckled and said. "Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't !"
Which leads me to my favorite saying. When someone asks. "Are you going to ride in this?" I say. " a biker is gonna get wet".
😂 yeah man. Lot of lessons learned on this trip. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻
Beautiful video nice shots, of the road , thank you. 👍 ❤ Two thumbs up
Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻
So many roads! So many memories!
I want to ride every back road in the country. Stuck working my life away. Still, living the dream. Great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Ray. Ride safe out there. 🤙🏻
This is one of the best riding videos I have ever seen. Well told story and right on point about riding. Thanks for sharing
Wow It's been a while since I visited the Kriver. Adam was telling me then he wanted to build tree houses. So Proud for his success. I also want to thank you for the WELL DONE video. Professionally done. Thanks
Got back about a week ago from a 2000 mile solo ride from Alberta to Colorado and back. I didn't record the riding, but watching this video brought back the memories - there are some stretches of interstate where you can about see forever and just alone with your thoughts for hours. Best thing I've ever done - can't beat a week of throttle-therapy to really clear the mind.
Hell yeah man. Totally agree. Thx for watching. 🤙🏻
I am enjoying this trip and the company. Thanks Slappy Adventures!
Thank You so much, I needed this. You captured how I feel on every trip I take. Rode around town today in 35*f with the next 2 weeks below 32*f and snow forecast. Five rallies and 3 weeks in Sturgis planned on my new 2022 Ultra Apex. Once it's paid off, I retire.
Thank you for watching. I'm extremely pleased that you found this film inspirational. Stay warm and stay safe.
This video was beautiful. Amazing quality, beautiful shots and great story telling. Thank you!
Wow that was the best...thank you for Sharing your journey.....

Love your video , brings back memories for me, beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you, I’m happy to hear it brought back some great memories. Be safe. 🤙🏻
Great video. Enjoyed every minute. You are right about the right handlebar on your bicycle.For me it was circa 1960’s. First dirt bike was a 72’ six day Penton, first street bike was of course a 750 four. I’m on my third Electra Glide now. I have always enjoyed traveling alone, it’s what freedom really feels like. Thanks for the great story.
Thanks so much fellow rider.
Thank you Michael, I appreciate you watching.
Damn, this video came up as a suggestion in my feed, and I'm very glad I watched it! Very good storytelling sir and very inspirational... subbed

did my saddlesore in 18hrs with a few friends, 5000 miles sounds amazing. My uncle rode a chopper when I was a kid, wanted to ride since then.
Nice! 18 hours is an amazing time, great job. I appreciate you watching. Ride safe.
Thanks for sharing Ryan! Great trip and filming. Keep it up and be safe!!
Thank you Octavio. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Be safe. 🤙🏻
I feel the same way about my motorcycle trips. When I was a kid growing up in the mid-western town of Pekin, Il., I rode my bicycle all over town, and in the summer when it's hot, and you're two miles from home, like I was this particular day, you don't stop when a cloud burst starts. Instead you relish in that rain cooling you down as you get soaked, and you never ever forget the ionized smell of those first raindrops of the thunderstorm. That's how it is for me now. The same gut feeling comes back when I smell those beautiful ionized rain drops, and feel the air cool me down, as I'm riding my motorcycle. Except now I'm wearing a rain suit, but the memories, and the gut feeling of being a kid come rushing back to me, and often without even realizing it, an enormous grin has formed on my face. Remembering being 12 years old, pulling my bicycle into mom and dad's breezeway, stripping off my tee shirt, and wringing it out...... but never going back inside the house except for dry clothes. I was one of us kids, with my Schwinn Stingray, make believe twisting the right grip....
Riding across this great land of ours, on a motorcycle, surely must be as close as anyone can come to knowing the universe God has given us..... Like a first love, you could never forget, it makes you realize what life's meant to be. I've ridden so far through 23 states, and want to see it all. If I could ferry my Yamaha FJR1300a from California to Hawaii, I'd do that too.
I think a person could criss-cross the U.S. ten times in a car, and never get it. Never be one with what is surrounding us. On a motorcycle you are a mass of molecules, just like the air and the smells in it, the rain hitting you , and the rays from the sun and the moon, and you are all in one.
Well said man. It is something that can’t be explained. 🤙🏻
Please pardon the delay in posting my comments, I was traveling across Iowa during your premiere and listened in. I've watched it a few time since. So well done and I'm always learning techniques from you. This is the reason that I learned to ride a motorcycle at 51 years old. I wanted to tour the country and get up close and personal. See you soon.
Lol, no worries. I hope your travels were good. I appreciate the feedback. Be safe. 🤙🏻
Beauty amplified on 2 wheels! Yes! I did my first solo rip last summer from iowa up around lake michigan, and i cant wait for this years ride. I stayed in cabins or a tent every night, saw a lot of beautiful countryside, and had a hell of a good time. I plan to do a solo ride every summer til i cant ride anymore. A solo run is freedom.
This is one of the best I have seen. I am definitely doing my solo trip summer of 2023.
Thank you Bryant. I appreciate you giving it a look. Ride safe. 🤙🏻
What a great trip! Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Now this was a video worth watching! Great job!

Cumming, Georgia here. All I can say is wow. Best motorcycle trip video I’ve ever seen. I’m approaching retirement soon and a trip like this is something I dream about and it will happen. Thanks for a great ride.
Thank you GA Ramblin Man for such a great compliment. This film meant a lot to me and im pleased to hear how it is being received. Be safe and I hope you enjoy your retirement. 🤙🏻

You are a lucky man to be able to do a motorcycle trip like this. I drive all those same roads in a semi truck, have for 18 years. I do have a couple of bikes, 1 Harley and 1 Enduro. I wish I could make the time to do a ride like that!! Hats off to you!! Stay safe Brother.
