    Yes! Jamie please bring back more of your older videos like the one you road all around California with your friend from the UK about a decade ago.

    About time you put this on youtube. I remember watching this years ago on some other website and loved it, but couldn't find it later. It actually inspired me to fly to the other side of the country, buy a bike, and ride it home. Been following your videos ever since.

    • @motogeo

    In 1990 I did almost the same trip in reverse from Marina del Rey CA to Ocean City Maryland only my bike was an '86 Ninja 600. I too froze my ass off in Flagstaff. Good times.

    I got myself 3 years ago a KLE500 as a first A2 motorcycle here in Italy. Done 25000 km so far. Great engine. Happy to see the same (similar) engine doing such a crazy trip.
    Unfortunately due to changing regulations in October I not gonna be able to use it to commute to work in Milan. But I hope I find a solution to keep it even tho I gonna need to buy something newer (maybe a street twin 900 or a cb650r )

    That was amazing! I’m feeling a bit silly for just having spent $11k on a new “adventure bike”, and I’ve barely been out of Illinois. But my sister is in AZ, used to live in Flagstaff, and I’m itching to ride out to visit. Thanks for the nudge.

    I rode my 2005 ex500 from florida to DC when I was 18. Time has made me appreciate how capable those bikes are , and howlittle you need for an adventure. Wrecked mine twice and sold for 800 at 32K. Still on a 500 albeit (gl500). heading up to Pennsylvania Friday.

    Route 66 is one of the rides I want to do along with HWY 50 and old HWY 80, both of these HWY's go all the way across the country. I will be doing it on my Suzuki DR650.

    A lot of coast-to-coast motorcycle videos popping up in my feed. Starting to think it's a sign, lol. Which do I take across the country, the Bonneville or the Speed Triple? Both fuel-injected.

    • @motogeo
      @motogeo  Před 26 dny

      It must be a sign.... I'd take the Bonny, fit dual-sport tires and go on and off-road as you expore 👍 Safe travels

    I 100% would have removed that nail while u were in a shop. On a trip like that u never know when ull hit a rough road. A bump at the wrong place on that tire would easily cause a headache.
