Old white man here. Glad you went ahead and took this trip to such a beautiful part of the country. Travel broadens your horizons. I truly wish that all Americans could take the time and be able to afford to travel and see our great country. There is too much crap coming out of Washington and Hollywood which just seems to divide us all as a country. I wish you the best.
Well said, Brother. A beautiful country it is. We the People are Blessed and when we realize that and unite across all fronts, we are an unstoppable force.
As a white 80 yr old Floridian, I am so sick of the media trying to scare people of each race against each other. Go where you want and do what you wish without fear. 99.9% of us just want to get along and live in peace. The media was trying to scare minorities away from Florida needlessly. I’m thrilled that you had the same emotional reaction to that trip that I had. I felt your sense of awe. So very glad you went and will go back!
tell that to yall desatin gov are u gonne one of the yt men that will stand up to the ones that are at racist and that really is dividing this country the media had not a thing to do with racist yt folks and ur an 80yr old man im sure you’ve seen and probably had been racist i dnt know but pls dont blame the media and down play our experiences and what we went through so our eyes didnt see what we saw with MR GEORGE FLOYD MAAAAN MISS U ALL WITH THAT IT AINT THE MEDIA ITS EVIL WANNA BE DICTATORS LIKE DESATIN THTS DEVIDING THIS COUNTRY
and no media is scaring us from coming there y would be want to u really dont see wht this man is doing it came out of his own mouth he is making laws to keep peopel like us away pls sir dont speak on the black experience when u know not a thing about it all the sun down towns that are out there so i guess the media created tht as well right?? its not the media its the town that dont want us and it may not be everybody but there are more than less that feels this way and im not tryn to be mean i really wanna have a conversation with u and really have u explain your side to me what ur sayn makes no sense this same young man would never be able to go to those sun down towns all i see them doing is going to all the beautiful green parts why dnt he go to the area tht says black folks shouldnt go there he is showing the major historical parts lets see him go to the towns tht dont want him there
beautiful sentiment but on the real side the media just report on stuff that people do. the media didn’t invade the Capital building or fly planes into the World Trade Towers.
As a black woman I was told so many places I shouldn’t go and every single time I went anyway and had a great experience. Just recently I was told to stay out of certain parts of South Carolina and when I went everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nice. I’m not here to take away from any one’s experience. But we must experience for ourselves ❤❤❤Glad you had an amazing experience.
My parents took me 30 years ago and a few years before that, mom rode fxrs with me on the back n dad a dyna wide glide. Went from Illinois there n back. Saw blacks Asians, Latinos etc back then
That's the reason we're in the mess we are today. The United States has become an intersectional collectivist society, Kue's tribe most of all... The only group pathologically denied this expression is the White European. Consequently, we are being absolutely destroyed.
I’m a 66 yr old black male who used to travel across country on my Goldwing. In my travels I had nothing but positive experience from complete white strangers seeing my bag and asking where I’m going or coming from, offering me meals, their place to rest or stay. I’m glad you experienced the some of the best this country offers from its people to scenery.
If people could do this there would be no divide. I hitched in my 20's, some in South America too. Of course bad things can happen, but people are generally good, and race and political persuasion have nothing to do with it. When you are hungry, or wet, or cold and someone helps you, your prejudice dissolves. But sit at home and you just identify with a narrative.
I'm a 65yo black man. I've been going to Sturgis since 1984, only missing 4. I fell in love with the area. beautiful landscape, the people are beautiful. Everyone sharing like experiences. Color has never been a issue,
So beautiful! As a native American woman I SOO Much appreciate that you thought a statue of us was beautiful! Thank you from a Mohawk Kanien kehaka is our real name wolf clan here, peace brother! Man I love you for what you said at the end too! 💝
I’m an old white-y and South Dakota is my back yard. I can tell you with 100% certainty that South Dakota is for you and anyone that chooses to partake of its beauty. All are welcome. I hate the lies we are fed about each other. This video was amazing and your commentary even better. Touched my heart. You gained a new follower.✌️
I recently saw a tic toc of a black woman saying that if they have a flag then they racist! Spreading this kind of division is a cancer in our country.
South Dakota is a beautiful place to ride your Harley. The scenery is awesome!! It don't matter what color we are, this is all our country. God bless you, ride safe. Enjoy God's beauty. 😊
I worked at the Cadillac Jack's about 15 years ago and you made the best tip when it's rally time...I rode the greyhound from silver springs a believe it took about 3 days...yes and my cousin worked in Wyoming....yep and we black ⚫️
Glad you had a great time! Goes to show if the 99% of us Americans payed no attention to the 1% of race baiting crowd and media how great could this country really be! They fear us all coming together more than anything! Greatest country on earth! God bless!!
Exactly. United we stand, divided we fall. And with the advent of social media as a tool, they're creating and dividing along more lines than ever before.
I’m a middle aged white guy from PA, and your video is the ONLY one that has ever brought tears to my eyes and the I thank you brother, and I do mean brother because we are ALL brothers and sisters !! Your video’s message and your willingness to seek truth brings hope that this beautiful country will not always be so divided and one day we will truly be ONE NATION UNDER GOD. May God bless you on your travels and spread your message of hope and unity !! Much love from PA !
I got chills at the end, this is a beautiful country with beautiful people. Don’t let the few miserable, angry, ignorant mouthpieces convince you of anything else.
People need to know that there is much more to this country than big filthy crime ridden cities. Brother. I felt your awe. I’ve made that trip. Nature is beautiful. Small towns are great. Increase the peace.
I'm a 67 year old, life long biker. There are only Brothers and Sisters in my world, including you, your family and friends. We stand on common ground and share the same values. Thank you and "Ride on!"
As another black man. I realized a lot of people limit themselves. They assume the world won't accept them or everybody is evil. I've traveled a lot and yes there are some assholes here and there. But for the most part I have never been scared or felt unwelcomed. This trip was dope. It was almost like I was there with y'all😂
I'm an old white man and I feel exactly the same. I moved from an ultra liberal northern town full of prejudices (aka Quebec city) to NC to discover how nice and warm southerners are. I still have a lot to learn from these people.
Unfortunately there are those who will never accept you, but keep living life the way it should be. At the end of the day, The grave yard wont care where you are laid to rest. Live you dreams on your terms.
Pausing at 21 seconds to say, I am a lifelong motorcyclist, from a motorcycling family. My mom rode. Whoever told you that is silly. There is trash in every color and creed, almost every kind of group. And there is also way more people that are down to earth and rock. You ride and you're cool, that's all that matters.
I have watched this video 3x already and am forwarding it to my "family" of fellow Spyder riders. We have gathered at Deadwood, SD 3x in the last 4 years and plan to this July again. We never tire of it! This video is a wonderful compendium of the sights of the Sturgis/Mt Rushmore area - so beautiful - plus G Cue's commentary, analogies, humor - add a wonderful backdrop to the video - he's a poet of sorts!
I am a middle-aged Black woman and, a few years ago, I took a road trip to South Dakota. I wasn't on a motorcycle though. It was one of the best trips of my life. I've said that every American needs to explore that part of the country. The Badlands were absolutely breathtaking. The people were so nice. I hope to go back someday.
You should take a trip to St. Paul. Lots of lakes and walking/biking trails, some water falls even. Loads more to see like Duluth Minn, Hibbing up in the iron range area.
Can't let no one limit your horizon or Adventures my late brother was a ɓiker all my life " Outkast ,GA chapter and he has went to many rallies that he was told he wouldn't fit in and he made many life long friends along the way, but it never would have happened if he listened to the naysayers 🤙🏾👍🏽🤟🏾
Wow, its almost like America isnt actually racist.....what a shocker, unless you actually get out of the house once in a while and actually interact with people, you would think otherwise....almost like the media wants us to hate each other.......who wouldve thought
@@jonathanbair523 I've been to Minneapolis a couple of times, but not St. Paul even though it was very close. I want to go back there someday as well. Minneapolis is one of the cleanest big cities I've ever been to. I wouldn't mind living there if the weather wasn't so brutal in the winter.
Old guy in the uk here, you and your friends just took me on the most beautiful journey, great sights, fantastic photography and a trip I'll never forget, the camaraderie, meeting really creative people, visiting so many of nature's and human creations. Superb video, i loved every second, good on you m8
I had to take some time before writing this. As a Black man in my 50’s who has been told his entire life that certain activities or music or whatever was “for white folks” it feels good to see a like minded brother who refuses to be told what he can or can’t enjoy because of race. Beautiful video keep enjoying life without limits!
As a white guy who is swiftly approaching 50 himself, I'm glad you enjoy what you enjoy and ignore anyone who says you shouldn't because of some BS race "rules" or however they'd try and justify it. Life is just too short to miss out on something because of someone else's biases and bigotry. One people, one love. Peace be with you friend.
As a 34 year old white dude, I am very happy to see people doing what they want, regardless of their skin color. As long as somebody is a nice person, I honestly do not care what they look like, or what they believe as long as those beliefs don’t directly cause harm to other people.
I am a white man in his late 50s. I appreciate greatly the messages in this video. No one should have ever told G-Kue (sp?) that Sturgis was not for a black man. No one should tell people that they can or cannot do anything because of their skin pigment or ethnicity. We should all be free to do as we wish so long as we harm no others. I also really appreciate the love for America shown in this video. I choose to see it differently, from two wheels I power with my legs, but it is beautiful. Recently, I was riding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Beautiful! Thanks!
It's so nice to seeing you enjoying our lovely state parks. I've lived here my whole life. I live 1 mile from sylvan Lake. I drive there's rd every day. Love your video. Hope you come back.
This brought tears to my eyes. I am an old white woman who went cross-country 5 times in my youth. Loved every minute. The concept that people would have tried to separate you from that experience breaks my heart so much. You seem like such a nice guy and that alone will open 90% of the doors and the 10% of people who might close the door to you, in those cases you would be better off to let those particular doors to close. But the Bible says to brush the dust off of your feet when you aren't welcome someplace and as a Christian, if Jesus had to talk to people way back then about sometimes not being welcome, we can't expect different.
@@gmanjordan4154 I have been all over the world and live in a Chicago suburb and my office is in the city, I travel to Milwaukee as well as it is only an hour, there is NOTHING about Chicago or Milwaukee that is different than any place else. You have sadly made a choice to not visit as is your right. Be blessed.
I am an old white woman and so glad you did this trip and shared it with us. I have traveled to every state except the north east. I think every politician needs to do a road trip like this. In a car, no speeches, just mingling with the people and see what we have. It changes you. Thanks for filming and sharing your trip.
Actually there’s a lot of politics out that way. Lol. But I think the only places I don’t feel welcome is downtown in big cities. I feel unsafe. But I’ve been to all the places he went. Very worth the trip. Bike week is one of the safest events I’ve been to. Maybe it’s because bikers will bring it to you if you bring it to them first. Helps keep the peace.
They don't believe anything they're saying. They know the truth. They create problems intentionally, then try to convince people that they're the only ones who can solve the problems they created. That's politics 101.
I'm very sorry for your loss of your mom. I lost my mom 7yrs ago. The fact that you came to the magic hills of this great country makes me happy. This country is so beautiful and enough for us all to enjoy! God bless and ride safe out there. We are truly one nation.
I feel your pain on losing your mother my friend. I was 24 at the time. She had just lost her second battle to cancer. I just turned 40 last month and I still lose it and break down in tears at times. Going through some of the toughest times in life at the moment and I want nothing more than to lean on her. Stay strong, keep riding and enjoying life brother!
I love sharing this story. My late husband, a black man, and I were moving from Seattle back to Virginia Beach and we ended up in Sturgis the first night of the bike festivities.. It was so hot that day. I had been putting towels in the cooler and then wrapping them around my husband's neck because our AC stop working in northern Idaho. We were beat, we had our 1yr old with us. My husband had battled the Uhaul all day as it wasn't loaded very well and his arms and shoulders were burning. We stopped at several hotels and discovered everything was sold out. At our last try before we ended up sleeping in our Ford Explorer we went into the motel lobby. A typical biker guy was checking in. He was a portrait of what you think of as a biker. He had it all, longhair, leathers, patches the whole deal, tatted up and as tall as my husband who was 6-6. Some people might have found him rather intimidating. As he was walking to leave he stopped at the door as the front desk lady apologized to us and explained there was no room anywhere in town. The biker turned around and said "They can have my room, I can crash with friends tonight." I will never forget it. We thanked him over and over again and then he rode off on his bike to find his friends. I was used to uncomfortable stares from other white people when I was out with my husband. It was 1999 and we had been living in Idaho for some time before going to Seattle. A mixed race couple in Idaho was a rare thing back then. This man was so kind to us, it really touched us both. We didn't get his name and we always regretted it. I hope we have passed the kindness on over the last 24 years. No matter where you go there will be people who hate. Our children have felt it especially as me moved between Boise and Virginia many times over the years and permanently in 2008. Ignore the hateful & embrace the loving. Our son , Zeke, who was with us on that trip is almost 25 and rides a huge Yamaha Roadstar. He wonders about going to Sturgis one day and wonders how he would be received there as a black (biracial) man. We lost my husband at the start of the pandemic and the following year my father-in-law who used to ride with a club when he was in the military died of cancer. My son misses his dad and wishes he could share his bike adventures with his Papa who was affectionately known as Doc-G. Edit :Zeke's birthday is August 29th and I think I'm going to order him one of your hoodies. One of the other experiences on that trip that was more than profound for my husband was Little Big Horn. He got chills and said it felt like he had been there before. Ride safe!
FLEABONE, what a great story. We come across people who believe they’re doing a small thing for us, which leaves a decades long lasting impression. Sometimes it’s negative, which can inhibit our reactions in future. More often than not ,it’s positive, like yours was and we use the experience to help others. Take care, from an Irish woman in Devon UK.
@@danoyse8233 Greetings from Idaho. Didn't see this or I would have replied sooner. Thank you. I miss England, my Mum is from Lowestoft, we lived there off and on when my sister and I were kids. I was born in Great Yarmouth. Hope you are well.
This was a beautiful video. And I truly pray that we as Black people stop lumping all of us into one basket. I’m a Black American female who loves reading fantasy books, hiking, camping, sewing, and doing yoga! I would’ve loved an open road trip like this. We are all individuals!
It's not always black people. Other races of people tend to judge black people as a whole. They stereotype us and think they know what we're about before they give us a chance.
@lc6636 Well, I'm thankful for people like you who don't buy into media garbage. I judge people as individuals as well. I never assume I know how a person is or what they're interested in based on what they look like on the outside.
@@JustGKueif you have moisture in your clutch doesn't that.mean you got moisture in your oil? I'm confused? If that's the case, you can ask local folk anywhere to buy oil and do a change. Nobody wants to be broke down on a vehicle.
@@sasquatchrosefarts a hydraulic clutch oil flush is not hard but not a quick job by any means. But I got it taken care of. It's not in my motor oil at all.
Don't ever apologize for feeling emotional about your mom. It's a testament to the close relationship you had with her, and I love that you feel you take her with you. What an awesome adventure! I'm glad you didn't listen to the people who said not to go and took this amazing trip anyway. I loved your videos and commentary along the way, and I checked out a couple of your other videos, too. Subscribed!
Like you said, misinformation is poison and as Mark Twain put it, travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Makes ya really think twice about those 15 min cities. People need to get off their phones and drive... even if its just to place 1 hr away. Then go further and further. This country is a beautiful place full of a wonderful variety of people! ❤
@jasonfisher6141 its really sad that that's how you choose to only see it. Sure weve all faced some type of adversity but the good far outweighs the bad. I only really see and feel it all the time is when Im online. Like people try to bring you down to state of victimization or something. Gosh.. like from people such as yourself.
@@shellbells339 not my fault you choose not to acknowledge the bad in this country. I travel up and down the roads of this country all day everyday so I don't have to get online to see what's going on. What gets posted online only underscores what I see in person on a day to day basis.
@jasonfisher6141 if the bad is what youre looking for, ya gonna get it. I look for the good, the positive. It so wonderful to be able to help someone. Be kind, and kindness comes back. Be sour and thats all you get in return. Have a great weekend.
I’m an immigrant who loves this beautiful country the way you shared it. Thank you for being a different voice on social media that counters the noise. The editing, voice over, the raw emotions and friendships on road-trips are all amazing. New sub.
I truly thank you for watching! Thank you! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
I’m an old white grandma from Alabama. I don’t know how I found your TH-cam site, but wow! I’m glad I did. Thank you for such a heartfelt video and I think it’s wonderful that you’re so proud of our great country. You almost made me ruin my mascara. Much love and many prayers for your safety.
Alabamian's get a bad rap because of people from the past and their ignorance. This is a beautiful state with warm, friendly people. Keep up your comments, this is how we will overcome this stigma. Thank you.
This land was made for you and me! I'm so glad ya'll made the trip out there and soaked it up!...beautiful people surrounded by beautiful sights having a beautiful time....THAT'S the America I love!
Dude...NEVER apologize for showing TRUE HUMAN EMOTIONS!!! Your willingness to be real in the moment and share it with the world triggered my own moment as I watched. Thank you.
Yeah I wish people would stop apologizing for having an emotional moment I think that's why we're on the planet to experience things and if you try and squash that what if the point?
Another Old white man here. I don't have color boundaries; only idiot boundaries. I've been a biker a racer blah blah. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It reached to me when I'm not quite sure of things in this stage of my life. I'm actually online shopping for bikes again. Thanks G! It was inspiring.
Old white lady here ! I smile seeing young men being able to enjoy life no matter what color or race. These men and woman riding together is something most of the country will never do. My riding bikes era is over 😔. but the wheels still roll ❤️. God bless and stay safe. ❤️
As a 73-year-young woman, I applaud you for your love, warmth and purity of spirit! I’m white and live in Arkansas which is really hard right now, but this, too, shall pass! Thank you, G, for sharing the gift of love! New sun!❤️🤗❤️
White woman from south Mississippi here. So glad y’all had a great trip! Don’t listen to the naysayers! Bottom line, this beautiful land belongs to us all and we all bleed red! May God bless America. ♥️🇺🇸
@@charlesreid9337 What a racist, prejudiced comment. I’ve been to a lot of states too and I’ve found racism wherever I’ve been. Its a human problem and not a good one. I assure you I and most people I have ever known are not. How much time did you spend in our racist state?
I'm a NYC native, 61 yr old white woman, spent plenty of time riding on the back of motorcycles in my younger years. Your video had me in tears the whole time. God bless you and ride safe. Never lose that open, positive adventurous spirit.
Man, this was fun to watch !! I'm a shy introvert, and rarely get out. But, this inspired me to tear down my self-imposed boundaries...and go somewhere !! I loved what you said about not accepting limitations imposed by others. An old Confucius saying: "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step". THANK YOU.
Take that step. Some of my best friends are like you. We met, because I saw they where introverted and made the effort to become friends. But they made the effort to travel away from home, so I knew they were trying.
4:19 Thanks for including this, im here remembering my dad with you. Grew up sitting on the gas tank with pops enjoying nature 2 wheels at a time. Thanks pops, and thanks to your mom for all the memories she left you with. Its so good to reminisce and smile after a good tear.
@@JustGKue I subbed after this video and then watched your 5000 mile tribute to your mother. She sounds like an amazing woman and mother, you're a blessed man. Keep the shiny side up brother.
I feel ya' man... My father committed suicide when I was 22... I'm 50 now and there is not a day that goes by that I don't want to talk to my dad... It hurts, but we gotta keep going for them! And NEVER apologize for showing emotion for a lost family member...
yes, you're absolutely right, you shouldn't have to apologize for something so natural, your love for your father is a natural and beautiful thing. God bless you and your father!
I’m a 62 years young woman and I’m NOT crying for a lot of reasons: I realized how little I have seen of my country, the feelings of LOVE you showed us you have for your mother, how awesome your friends are and how great our God is to let all of us know that’s watching this video that as long as you are LIVING, “it’s never too late”!! HALLELUJAH 🙏🏾
I truly thank you for watching! I appreciate you! I hope you subscribe to the channel so you dont miss anything! th-cam.com/users/JustGKue thank you once again!
@@JustGKuemuch respect bro for sharing this glorious adventure, to us here….so breathtakingly beautiful . Much love to ms Bertha Mae your beloved mama…., I feel your pain so much, lost my dearest ma in 2021, and my amazing pa 5 months later. (They raised us 10 kids ) We have their precious love & memories engraved in our ❤ forever . Be blessed and safe always brother…(subbed)
Man seeing you getting all emotional in front of that statue got me. Me and my dad stood at that exact spot a couple times. These scenes all brought back so many precious memories. Custer state park. Needles highway. All of it. Deadwood was probably my favorite town. I suggest going about a month after the Rally. It’s much warmer and less crowded. Glad you had an amazing trip.
I just watched this video. It gave me goose bumps on how emotional this trip was for you and your friends. I as a older white lady wish your words were more taken to heart. By all men and women. I believe racism is pushed by political interests, I cried with your dedication to your mom. God Bless you all.
Thank you so much for sharing & taking us along on your beautiful journey! I also cried with you when you spoke of your Mom, as I understand all too well. My Mom went to be w/the Lord on Mother’s Day morning 2022. May God continually bless & keep you & your friends. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom & courage. God bless the 🇺🇸 🙏🏾❤️❤️😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Daniel23544you are 100% there is racism out there. The point I wish you make is it is like stupidity. Not everyone suffers from that affliction. Because bad things exist does not equate to by proxy it is all there is. Sorry for preaching. Some focus on the crap out. This video was done obviously by a person who chooses to focus on the beauty out there. Hope you can one day learn to do the same. Many blessings to you and all the others who share your sentiments.
I’m a disabled veteran, 7 years us army, when I see racism, hatred etc it really makes me feel like those 7 years were a waste of time. Nobody but nobody is better than the person standing next to you. It doesn’t matter the color, religion, sexual orientation. Jesus said love thy neighbor. Not love thy neighbor if they meet your criteria. Much love.
Amen Brother! We are all God's children! Peace be with you and your family! Thank you for your great service to the people of the United states. God bless!
So, if there's a convicted life long felon behind you, he's your equal? He'd make a good partner for your daughter and you'd be happy about the union? And you love him? If you say so. 🙃
God bless!❤ Jesus gave us one rule! Sometimes it is hard when people present themselves in a way you don't think they will be kind to you, but my years of retail have shown me you can't rely on appearance.
I'm a 58 yrs white woman, your video has me in tears, for the reasons that you mention and for your sweet Mama showing you that she is with you at all times. And for the beautiful sites you got to experience. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS TRIP and not letting anyone tell you that you shouldn't!! I was raised on motorcycles, my late husband and I planned on buying two bikes and we're saving to do so, he took ill suddenly when I was 40, just before he slipped into a coma that eventually took him from me forever, he made me promise to buy myself a Harley and ride the tires off of it, and he would be riding with me as my angel. A year after his passing I bought that Harley, I rode it every day. 2 yrs of having it, in 2009 I rode the entire Natchez Trace Parkway from the top in Tennessee to Natchez Mississippi, round trip was 1300 miles for me. It was a beautiful and peaceful ride, and also a test of my endurance for long distance riding on my own. My plan was to make my husband's and I dream ride out west, see all the amazing beautiful sites. So I began saving for that ride for June of 2010 and I was so excited for it. But I ended up having a bad accident in March of 2010, non bike related, that ended up changing my entire life forever. I was 3 short months away from finally living out our dream ride, it still breaks my heart to this day. So just know that I took such great joy in watching you enjoying and experiencing all of the beauty that is out there and not letting anyone stop you from doing what you deserve to do! Your Mama is undoubtedly VERY proud of you, I certainly am! Much love and respect❤
@@Katkjc you're absolutely welcome. I hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
I loved your journaling of this trip across our beautiful country. I totally understood your grief and wishing your momma could hear your story or see the sites with you. My husband and I answered the call to become full time missionaries in Italy for 7 yrs and there were so many times I wanted to FaceTime my momma and share with her my experiences. But alas, she left this earth in 2012 and we moved to Italy in 2015. So glad you didn’t listen to others and their sewed opinion of travel. We have met such amazing people of all races on our journeys. It truly is a blessing. Thanks for your encouraging words. I am hoping those who need to hear your story will not be so afraid to open their eyes.
I sold my Harley in 2018. I always wanted to go to Sturgis - being an African American female kept me away though. I didn’t think I’d fit in, but was wrong. I had White church friends who went annually. Thank you SO much for sharing your journey. I especially like your analogies and sincere appreciation for nature and our American history. Keep riding! Keep shining!🏍💕🇺🇸💯😇
I don't understand, I'm sorry, but can you explain to me about Sturgis. I do not know what it is, yes, I'm ignorant in this story, please explain if you can. Thank you.
If you ever decide to go, there's a lady biker in NC who would be honored to ride with you. I do a solo ride every year, 3-5k miles. I can do it, and would be thrilled to do it with you.
Amen brother...as an older white guy you hit the nail right on the head with this one. I've been saying what you discovered for so long now. Forget race...we are all human despite there being good and bad in every one. Im glad you went on the trip to find out for yourself instead of swallowing the poison of misinformation and completely enjoyed yourself as you should. Its a memory and adventure you will never ever forget. God bless you and safe travels always!
I’m a mom of an adult son. What a love you show for your mom who is, yes, still with you -watching and protecting you. With all due respect, I’m proud of you…God bless and keep you all❤
I don't know why your video from a year ago popped up on my TH-cam but I'm glad it did. That was great to watch! As a middle aged white woman, I've never thought about race while out riding, I just love all the bikes! I can't wait to get the chance to head up there and see all that. You have a new subscriber!
As a video guy, you did a phenomenal job of telling your story. Your images, editing & documentation was really well done! So glad your video came across my timeline!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for taking this ride. I am an African-American female in my 50s. The things you said about your mother and wishing you could call her and tell her what you were doing, I can identify with. I long to travel now that I am older. Watching your video and listening to your narration and your responses to the beauty that you saw made me cry. Thank you again may God continue to keep you and your crew covered as you travel in Jesus name. You never know with the lives you will touch by doing what you do.
Thank you so much! Thank you! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
This almost makes me want to get a group together and travel just to prove there are more good people in America than not and there’s more love than racism
Amen brother, what a wonderful reminder and demonstration that this beautiful country is for all people. "Racism is not dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists.'" -- Thomas Sowell
Just going out and meeting people that are different than you takes power away from the people that try to make you live your life in fear... Glad you enjoyed yourself man.
What a beautiful video! Wonderful commentary. I broke up when you spoke about your mom. Lost my mom in 2001. The grief is still raw and emotional. Never apologize for feeling your feelings. It's what makes us all human and connected. Your mom and your memories were right there with you on that ride and what a beautiful majestic ride it was!
33yr old white guy here. I hate that certain people in this country feel like they can’t do things because their color of their skin. I’m glad you went man and it looks like you had a blast!!! We’re all the same regardless of color. We’re all just trying to live the best we can. Best wishes brother!
with Love n respect! i h8 that it's like that in too many places n countries for every skin colour. 1 Beautiful Day We r going to see an Honourable King's dream Our reality n i know when we do those kids won't see the colour of their hands or skin as they joyously play! Love n Blessings Family!!!
@@JustGKue Family, i subbd to see more. if it ain't Lived bold, it ain't Lived Free. Thank U for B'ing bold enough to B U n do U! Love n Blessings Family!!!
I don’t even ride, but enjoyed this video very much! Thank you for sharing your insights, you poetic observations, your appreciation for the beauty of our great country, your love for your fellow humans, your pure and true emotions, and your life philosophies. Your Mom must have been so proud of the man you’ve become. She is surely watching over you with love.
It’s sad you ever questioned this. Only in the recent years have I heard people start talking about color bc I really thought we evolved past this. ALL People should be judged on their character, their heart, their actions. Your video was beautiful. I’ve never been that way. Thank you for sharing it with everyone 🤩😍
Thank you for taking that trip and taking all of us with you! My late husband and I volunteered every year at the biker wayside (Lingle Wyoming) our church set up for bikers headed to Sturgis. Our church was on one of the main highways leading up into Sturgis and ALL were welcome to a cot, food, drink and prayer if they asked. We saw many different types of people and all were kind to each other.
I am a old white brother here and as others have said no need to apologize for tears shed for our loved ones. I agree with what you said about nature. We need a lot more ambassadors showing more love of kindness and love toward others and Mother Nature. People ask me why like to skiing in the mountains and I tell them I love to go because it is a spiritual experience. It is like going to church but better. Love the video! God bless!
You'd think, in the blinding face of Mother Nature's splendor, even the most hard-hearted industrialist might shed a tear - not for profit, but for the pure, untamed beauty they're hell-bent on pillaging.
I'm not sure who spreads these rumors that attempt to divide us, but videos like this help break through those boundaries and fears. Saying hey from Montana 👋🏼
I went to Sturgis once. My group and myself were hung over everyday. Your a Boss. I just saw all the things I missed. I would love to ride with your group. Hopefully some day I will make it back and see your group. FYI, I'm going to follow you guys. Thank you
Im a Louisiana woman and I will let you know it does not matter where you come from we are all the same in our heart. Never let anyone stop you from finding the joy this great nation has to offer. My door is always open for my neighbors and I will always have a warm hug waiting for them. Keep making these videos and never let anyone stop you from enjoying life. Peace and Love!!
TH-cam algorithm finally does something right. Such a pleasure to watch. In our current world of confusion, fear, despair and bad stories pumped up to the max from every form of media, a regular Joe delivers sanity during the summer of 2023. Thank you, brother. Great narration, camera work via headcam, handcam, and drone. This entire video was the balm I needed. You are one of a small army of vloggers that are showing us that there is still beauty to see in people, nature, and life. And that adventure still exists everywhere. You took a chance. I hope everything was fine by the time you arrived home. Sorry about your mother. God bless.
Im extremely grateful and appreciative of you! ✌🏾 I just want to spread peace love and joy!! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
The point where you paused to talk to your mom melted my heart! I know she was right there beside you, because one day my sons will need to talk to me in the same way. And I won’t hesitate to be there. Nothing can keep a mother away when her children call for her.
Much love from idaho glad you guys took this trip brother dont let others limits hold you back ever theres too mmuch to see and experience in this world keep doing what you do your moms is watching over you!! 💙
I’m not a biker, but this video came up in my feed, so watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Do your thing, have adventures, meet people, laugh. Never let the media or crazy lefties try to convince you you’d not be welcome anywhere. Cheers from the UK.
@@streetcarp475 What's crazy about caring about human rights? Wanting honest and responsible government? Wanting policies and an economic system that brings the most good to the most people, and a way to save our climate so we may continue to live with some degree of safety into our future?
@@argusfleibeit1165 Man, I really hate to do this here, but I am a historian, I taught history and political science. I've been up to my ears in history for probably 40 years, consumed by it. It's not about human rights, They use 99% of it as a tool to divide and create opposition. If you never turned on your tv you'd never know about any of it, everyone would still treat you like a friend and neighbor. The federal government was never granted the right to involve themselves in any of that really, their job is to protect our border and our constitution, states is where everything else belongs. Not trying to make it a fight, just pointing it out. Love ya
I wish more people would take the time to travel to see our country with their own eyes, and connect with other Americans. It's a great country that the media and politicians are doing their best to tear apart. Glad you had a great trip.
Yes! G Kue is awesome, what an inspiring story. I agree with you that politicians and media cause much more division than is the reality in this great country. We are all children of God. God bless us, everyone.
100% agree. I took this approach with a trip to Chicago. So many people told me not to; so glad I didn't listen to them. I realized the vast majority of those telling me it was dangerous, had never been there, just repeating what they read on some FB post. I "survived" 10 days, I never felt uncomfortable; had an absolute blast and the city is gorgeous.
@@richskater I've never been to Chicago, but during the course of my career, met many people from Chicago. To a person, every one of them expressed love for their home city 🏙️
This is why the government and media love the idea of lockdowns. Because you can't connect with other people, you just have to listen to what they say in that case
Going viral, +1.4 million views at this point and I understand the reason. This is one of the best videos I've seen. Inspirational, as well as bringing me to tears as you spoke about your mother. You have a talent for telling your story. A new subscriber here.
Three years ago I retired from a promotion job in the tourism industry. I was speaking to a group from a local tourism board about all of the great camping, rafting, hiking,and other outdoor activities in the area. A black member of the board asked me, “What do you have for black people?”. I was surprised by the question because I had never thought about there being any difference in activity based on skin color. The message you are sending is so important. People need to enjoy everything life has to offer and stop labeling things based on imagery restrictions.
Seriously, I ski and snowboard which are stereotypically 'white' activities. But now that local inner city schools have started weeknight ski clubs the stereotype is changing.
What a weird question. It’s really like they deliberately set themselves apart from society with this kind of thinking. I’m from Europe, so I don’t understand his question.
We just think 'do it' if you want to do something, figure out how to do it and go... Please don't tear down so much culture just take part in it! I don't think anyone with a good heart intends to 'separate' we just do! so just DO!
We need more of this in this country. More people ignoring the race baiters and lamestream media. THIS video and what you experienced is what this country is all about - Americans love one another - religion, race, how you dress, who you identify as does not matter - be respectful and you will get respect. This country is a melting pot and it is what makes us strong - do not let them divide or categorize us.
@AndreWebb-sc1ug I don't know what you're talking about with the 50's... I TRULY hope that you aren't talking about Jim Crow laws and Sundown towns being equivalent to chattel slavery!!! Jim Crow and the Reconstruction era where definitely prejudiced and at times outright rac!st, but that's gone on all over the world since the beginning to EVERY "type" of person... almost always those of lower economic means. The History of the USA isn't exactly what any of us think it was, first person in the US to own a human FOR LIFE was named Anthony Johnson (look him up). 1 million troops died in the Civil War, some Southern Black folk fought on the Confederate side. Lastly, this COUNTRY never owned any person. People owned slaves, keep in mind that there were quite a few Black men who reached the "status" of Planter (50+ slaves, I believe). How can it be dividing by race if African kings flooded the market through violent raids and African-Americans also owned African slaves? It was a terrible stain on our History but it's far more complex than you make it out to be. Study up, my friend... you're not a victim anymore than anyone else in the same economic class. Voter suppression, lynchings, racial gun control all affected lower economic White folk too. Rise above the rhetoric, it's tough to let go of hate, but you'll never know freedom unless you do. ☮& ♥
ChicagoTRS....your exactly right!! And we up here im the northwest S.D and N.D and M.T. we are NOT racist at all! And people are missing out on so much beauty and experiences up here. We ALL bleed red period!! DONT LET THEM DIVIDE US!!! Sooo many misconceptions its ridiculous. Im so glad he made the trip to S.D and hopefully he'll be back for the Sturgis Bike Rally next year! He would have an absolute blast!!!! Much love from Montana ❤❤❤
Unfortunately you are speaking about yourself. This nation was founded on racism. There is a caste system here which thankfully is getting torn to pieces by Black empowerment. Reparations are due as well.
As a fellow black man and traveler...NEVER not go somewhere because of someone else's bad experience, experience it for yourself. As long as you're safe and being cool, you can go anywhere you want. I "lucky" enough to go to Air Force Field Training at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota and I had the chance to see most of that...I was also there during the actual Sturgis Bike fest...It was amazing seeing all of the bikes there. South Dakota is definitely a travel stop and something that is a must see!
One of the very best TH-cam videos I have ever seen. Amazing scenery from the road and the skies of our beautiful country. What is even more beautiful is that there was absolutely no hate anywhere. We are all Americans and we need to stop letting outside forces try to divide us. G was told over and over, not to go to Sturgis but he went and provided one of the best lessons any of us could ask for. We are all Americans, lets stay that way and to do so, we need good men like Just G Kue to remind us just who we are and where we are from. God Bless you G Kue.
The negativety, hate and poison comes from white and black liberals. They are the only ones saying don't go here and don't do this cuz you're black and if you don't do this and that you ain't black etc. Nobody cares you're black but them! Go to a Trump rally and see for yourself how little anyone cares that you are black. It's about diversity of thought and being an independent thinker vs diversity of race and group think. It's very clear who is right and who is poison.
I just got back from Sturgis a couple days ago. It was my first time. I already can't wait to go back next year. Sturgis is for everyone. I saw nothing but hundreds of thousands of people who just wanted to get together to ride and to have a great time. There is so much beauty in this country and everyone deserves to see it.
If you show up looking for a fight you will find it, no matter where you go. If you show up knowing strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet that’s what you get. Doesn’t have to be complicated. Great video and the moment you had with your mom broke me and no doubt hundreds of other people. Thanks G. Subscribed.
Peace my young friend. 70 year old white Texan here. Brings tears to my eyes over you losing your Ma. I'm so glad you didn''t fall into the trap of listening to someone else's fears. When I read the title of your video, i knew I HAD to watch it. We're all so much alike with our wants, needs, and desires. And we all have so much good ness in our hearts, if we will just stop listening to the orchestrated lies of MSM. Sorry, off on a rant here. Thanks for being you and bringing peace. New sub.
Leave it to a maga republican to bring politcs into a video like this. Just our little secret since you live under a rock, Foxnews lost $700million dollars to dominon for the lies they pushed about the stolen election.

Wow, so many emotions flooded in as I watch this. I am an African American female rider. I truly miss two wheel road trips and need to get back on the road. I have been to Sturgis several times and enjoyed it immensely. I have only had a slight situation once and it was handled without incident. This was an amazing video and I am so thankful that the TH-cam algorithm led me here. And of course I subscribed. Lol
@@StrifeA217 Oh I definitely will. Unfortunately I have to focus on rebuilding my business before I can go out again. The pandemic devastated us. So now it's back to work hard to play hard. Ya know? I'm on it!👍🏾
Whoever said black people shouldn't go have no idea how open armed and friendly these people really are. I would stop listening to advice from these people immediately. Your video brought tears to my eyes and made me think a lot about family and life.
Non-gang bikers are some of the friendliest people(circumstances aside) I would know my dad has a bike he rides around and has since I've been alive and people stereotype the shit out of him just because of his look and tats(ngl funny as hell when he proves them wrong and it looks like you just slapped the taste out if their mouth)
Man, great video of y'all's ride. I loved every minute. I've had both of my parents pass away and I want to share a little bit of advice someone told me one day when I had a very similar situation. I had a moment with Mom, Dad and God... Emotions happened around a group of friends and I apologized for getting upset. My buddies wife gave me a hug and said "don't apologize for how much you love your mother and father. For they are here with you today in your heart." Keep riding boss. Be safe out there. Live to ride! Ride to live!
It's rare that anything brings tears to my eyes. This video did. As an African American man, I salute you my friend. Thank you for this. Enjoyed every moment!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
That’s why you know this guy is real. People try to act hard and pretend life doesn’t affect them. Nothing cuts harder than losing your mother, by living life he is paying tribute each and every day. Poetry in motion.
I have no idea how I happened upon your video- but so blessed I did. I live on the east coast and you brought me down memory lane when my husband and traveled out that way for the first time over 40 years ago- like you said pictures can’t even compare- God was everywhere-felt everywhere. As an old woman and a reader of many books, I wish, if you haven’t already, keep these narrations/notes/writings and publish a book. You are very talented in the way you describe things, the images you create- how you speak and how you write-the phrases you use “trees standing at attention. Keep making videos and keep writing, and riding!! For me, I’ve never even been on a bike, but who’s saying I can’t at age 80! God bless from one human to another.
My mother passed 24 yrs ago. Being an only child and so was my Mom. I truly lost my best friend and Mom. I understand those emotions. I became a 1st time grandmother on 8-11-23 to one of my 3 sons I feel her presence each time I hold my granddaughter.🤟🏾❤
Glad you had a good time, brother. This was my fifth time at Sturgis. All bike enthusiasts are welcome and the overwhelming majority of us won't even pay attention to something like skin color
Never apologize for showing your emotions about anything or anyone. Great ride, guys!! I felt like I was with you all the way. Beautiful, unforgettable scenery, simply beautiful. Definitely would need a tissue box on that ride, experiencing the forest, the rock tunnels, the winding roads. What an adventure you all had. I'm coming with you all next time!!
i agree with you. im reading this after having thought to myself in my head that i should apologize for skipping through that part which i did BECAUSE it hit too close right now and hit hard, but for my reasons. I have mad respect for dudes honesty and openness and for/to his mom and for sharing. I feel humbled for being included in that experience < -(" explaining the sense of guilt making me feel a need to apologize ")-
Old white man here. Glad you went ahead and took this trip to such a beautiful part of the country. Travel broadens your horizons. I truly wish that all Americans could take the time and be able to afford to travel and see our great country. There is too much crap coming out of Washington and Hollywood which just seems to divide us all as a country. I wish you the best.
Jeff from one Jeff to another you nailed it brother 🤝
🐓
Agreed
Well said, Brother. A beautiful country it is. We the People are Blessed and when we realize that and unite across all fronts, we are an unstoppable force.
Very well said 👍🏿, old Army vet here, and this message 🎯.
Amen, well said! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a white 80 yr old Floridian, I am so sick of the media trying to scare people of each race against each other. Go where you want and do what you wish without fear. 99.9% of us just want to get along and live in peace. The media was trying to scare minorities away from Florida needlessly. I’m thrilled that you had the same emotional reaction to that trip that I had. I felt your sense of awe. So very glad you went and will go back!
great words sir
Florida is effed up, so the media doesn’t have to work too hard there. 😂
tell that to yall desatin gov
are u gonne one of the yt men that will stand up to the ones that are at racist and that really is dividing this country the media had not a thing to do with racist yt folks
and ur an 80yr old man im sure you’ve seen and probably had been racist i dnt know but pls dont blame the media and down play our experiences and what we went through
so our eyes didnt see what we saw with
MR GEORGE FLOYD
MAAAAN MISS U ALL WITH THAT
IT AINT THE MEDIA ITS EVIL WANNA BE DICTATORS LIKE DESATIN THTS DEVIDING THIS COUNTRY
and no media is scaring us from coming there y would be want to u really dont see wht this man is doing it came out of his own mouth he is making laws to keep peopel like us away pls sir dont speak on the black experience when u know not a thing about it
all the sun down towns that are out there so i guess the media created tht as well right??
its not the media its the town that dont want us and it may not be everybody but there are more than less that feels this way
and im not tryn to be mean i really wanna have a conversation with u and really have u explain your side to me what ur sayn makes no sense
this same young man would never be able to go to those sun down towns
all i see them doing is going to all the beautiful green parts why dnt he go to the area tht says black folks shouldnt go there
he is showing the major historical parts lets see him go to the towns tht dont want him there
beautiful sentiment but on the real side the media just report on stuff that people do. the media didn’t invade the Capital building or fly planes into the World Trade Towers.
As a black woman I was told so many places I shouldn’t go and every single time I went anyway and had a great experience. Just recently I was told to stay out of certain parts of South Carolina and when I went everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nice. I’m not here to take away from any one’s experience. But we must experience for ourselves ❤❤❤Glad you had an amazing experience.
Anomaly.
Just gotta see for yourself!
I love South Carolina… what parts were you told to stay away from? I wanna go . 😊
As a SC resident we welcome everybody. Don't believe the BS from the media haters. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Peace
Born and raised and still live in SC.. You and everyone else are always welcome here...
My brother, thank you for this trip, it was personally very emotional for me to tag along... keep it up my G!
I appreciate that 🙏🏽
as an old biker, I don't care what color you are, if you're a good person, you're a good person. Period. Ride free my friend.
PERIOD!!

My parents took me 30 years ago and a few years before that, mom rode fxrs with me on the back n dad a dyna wide glide. Went from Illinois there n back. Saw blacks Asians, Latinos etc back then
Amen!!!
That's the reason we're in the mess we are today. The United States has become an intersectional collectivist society, Kue's tribe most of all... The only group pathologically denied this expression is the White European. Consequently, we are being absolutely destroyed.
I’m a 66 yr old black male who used to travel across country on my Goldwing. In my travels I had nothing but positive experience from complete white strangers seeing my bag and asking where I’m going or coming from, offering me meals, their place to rest or stay. I’m glad you experienced the some of the best this country offers from its people to scenery.
This is my America! Ignore the race baiting media
Awesome
If people could do this there would be no divide. I hitched in my 20's, some in South America too. Of course bad things can happen, but people are generally good, and race and political persuasion have nothing to do with it. When you are hungry, or wet, or cold and someone helps you, your prejudice dissolves. But sit at home and you just identify with a narrative.
Isn't Flyover Country wonderful? They want you to believe the very opposite about it.
Why wouldn't you go to the Mecca of bikers?. Doesn't seem right and the people there only want to hang and party. You go bud!
I'm a 65yo black man. I've been going to Sturgis since 1984, only missing 4. I fell in love with the area. beautiful landscape, the people are beautiful. Everyone sharing like experiences.

As another black man. I realized a lot of people limit themselves. They assume the world won't accept them or everybody is evil. I've traveled a lot and yes there are some assholes here and there. But for the most part I have never been scared or felt unwelcomed. This trip was dope. It was almost like I was there with y'all😂
Would you take a trip with me to a "sundown town"? I always wanted to know if the rumors are true
This is 💯. Explore everywhere with good vibes and all will be well. Make the racists make the first move to out themselves.
I'm an old white man and I feel exactly the same. I moved from an ultra liberal northern town full of prejudices (aka Quebec city) to NC to discover how nice and warm southerners are. I still have a lot to learn from these people.
This is so true!!!
Unfortunately there are those who will never accept you, but keep living life the way it should be. At the end of the day, The grave yard wont care where you are laid to rest. Live you dreams on your terms.
Pausing at 21 seconds to say, I am a lifelong motorcyclist, from a motorcycling family. My mom rode. Whoever told you that is silly. There is trash in every color and creed, almost every kind of group. And there is also way more people that are down to earth and rock. You ride and you're cool, that's all that matters.

I have watched this video 3x already and am forwarding it to my "family" of fellow Spyder riders. We have gathered at Deadwood, SD 3x in the last 4 years and plan to this July again. We never tire of it! This video is a wonderful compendium of the sights of the Sturgis/Mt Rushmore area - so beautiful - plus G Cue's commentary, analogies, humor - add a wonderful backdrop to the video - he's a poet of sorts!
I am a middle-aged Black woman and, a few years ago, I took a road trip to South Dakota. I wasn't on a motorcycle though. It was one of the best trips of my life. I've said that every American needs to explore that part of the country. The Badlands were absolutely breathtaking. The people were so nice. I hope to go back someday.
You should take a trip to St. Paul. Lots of lakes and walking/biking trails, some water falls even. Loads more to see like Duluth Minn, Hibbing up in the iron range area.
@jonathanbair523 I second Northern MN. I'm a MN native and the upper northern part of the state has some great spots.
Can't let no one limit your horizon or Adventures my late brother was a ɓiker all my life " Outkast ,GA chapter and he has went to many rallies that he was told he wouldn't fit in and he made many life long friends along the way, but it never would have happened if he listened to the naysayers 🤙🏾👍🏽🤟🏾
Wow, its almost like America isnt actually racist.....what a shocker, unless you actually get out of the house once in a while and actually interact with people, you would think otherwise....almost like the media wants us to hate each other.......who wouldve thought

Old guy in the uk here, you and your friends just took me on the most beautiful journey, great sights, fantastic photography and a trip I'll never forget, the camaraderie, meeting really creative people, visiting so many of nature's and human creations. Superb video, i loved every second, good on you m8
I had to take some time before writing this. As a Black man in my 50’s who has been told his entire life that certain activities or music or whatever was “for white folks” it feels good to see a like minded brother who refuses to be told what he can or can’t enjoy because of race. Beautiful video keep enjoying life without limits!
Thank you!
As a white guy who is swiftly approaching 50 himself, I'm glad you enjoy what you enjoy and ignore anyone who says you shouldn't because of some BS race "rules" or however they'd try and justify it.
Life is just too short to miss out on something because of someone else's biases and bigotry. One people, one love. Peace be with you friend.
Just keep in mind that those phrases and lines of thinking always come from white liberals.
Stay blessed :)
As a 34 year old white dude, I am very happy to see people doing what they want, regardless of their skin color. As long as somebody is a nice person, I honestly do not care what they look like, or what they believe as long as those beliefs don’t directly cause harm to other people.
I am a white man in his late 50s. I appreciate greatly the messages in this video. No one should have ever told G-Kue (sp?) that Sturgis was not for a black man. No one should tell people that they can or cannot do anything because of their skin pigment or ethnicity. We should all be free to do as we wish so long as we harm no others.
I also really appreciate the love for America shown in this video. I choose to see it differently, from two wheels I power with my legs, but it is beautiful. Recently, I was riding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Beautiful!
Thanks!
It's so nice to seeing you enjoying our lovely state parks. I've lived here my whole life. I live 1 mile from sylvan Lake. I drive there's rd every day. Love your video. Hope you come back.
This brought tears to my eyes. I am an old white woman who went cross-country 5 times in my youth. Loved every minute. The concept that people would have tried to separate you from that experience breaks my heart so much. You seem like such a nice guy and that alone will open 90% of the doors and the 10% of people who might close the door to you, in those cases you would be better off to let those particular doors to close. But the Bible says to brush the dust off of your feet when you aren't welcome someplace and as a Christian, if Jesus had to talk to people way back then about sometimes not being welcome, we can't expect different.
My choice. Love events that "look & feel" safe! I don't step foot in, or even drive through, Chicago or Milwaukee!
@@gmanjordan4154 I have been all over the world and live in a Chicago suburb and my office is in the city, I travel to Milwaukee as well as it is only an hour, there is NOTHING about Chicago or Milwaukee that is different than any place else. You have sadly made a choice to not visit as is your right. Be blessed.
Very well said! It’s all about the bikes!
@@BiancaCDEstatistics say otherwise
@@BiancaCDEIn my younger days we would always go downtown chicago at christmas time so beautiful.
I am an old white woman and so glad you did this trip and shared it with us. I have traveled to every state except the north east. I think every politician needs to do a road trip like this. In a car, no speeches, just mingling with the people and see what we have. It changes you. Thanks for filming and sharing your trip.
Actually there’s a lot of politics out that way. Lol. But I think the only places I don’t feel welcome is downtown in big cities. I feel unsafe. But I’ve been to all the places he went. Very worth the trip. Bike week is one of the safest events I’ve been to. Maybe it’s because bikers will bring it to you if you bring it to them first. Helps keep the peace.

They don't believe anything they're saying. They know the truth. They create problems intentionally, then try to convince people that they're the only ones who can solve the problems they created.
That's politics 101.
I'm very sorry for your loss of your mom. I lost my mom 7yrs ago. The fact that you came to the magic hills of this great country makes me happy. This country is so beautiful and enough for us all to enjoy! God bless and ride safe out there. We are truly one nation.
Glad to see a man willing to show his emotions. Real strength in that my guy
So sorry about your sweet mama. Never feel bad about showing your feelings. ❤ great video.
I feel your pain on losing your mother my friend. I was 24 at the time. She had just lost her second battle to cancer. I just turned 40 last month and I still lose it and break down in tears at times. Going through some of the toughest times in life at the moment and I want nothing more than to lean on her. Stay strong, keep riding and enjoying life brother!
I love sharing this story. My late husband, a black man, and I were moving from Seattle back to Virginia Beach and we ended up in Sturgis the first night of the bike festivities.. It was so hot that day. I had been putting towels in the cooler and then wrapping them around my husband's neck because our AC stop working in northern Idaho. We were beat, we had our 1yr old with us. My husband had battled the Uhaul all day as it wasn't loaded very well and his arms and shoulders were burning. We stopped at several hotels and discovered everything was sold out. At our last try before we ended up sleeping in our Ford Explorer we went into the motel lobby. A typical biker guy was checking in. He was a portrait of what you think of as a biker. He had it all, longhair, leathers, patches the whole deal, tatted up and as tall as my husband who was 6-6. Some people might have found him rather intimidating. As he was walking to leave he stopped at the door as the front desk lady apologized to us and explained there was no room anywhere in town. The biker turned around and said "They can have my room, I can crash with friends tonight." I will never forget it. We thanked him over and over again and then he rode off on his bike to find his friends. I was used to uncomfortable stares from other white people when I was out with my husband. It was 1999 and we had been living in Idaho for some time before going to Seattle. A mixed race couple in Idaho was a rare thing back then. This man was so kind to us, it really touched us both. We didn't get his name and we always regretted it. I hope we have passed the kindness on over the last 24 years. No matter where you go there will be people who hate. Our children have felt it especially as me moved between Boise and Virginia many times over the years and permanently in 2008. Ignore the hateful & embrace the loving.
Our son , Zeke, who was with us on that trip is almost 25 and rides a huge Yamaha Roadstar. He wonders about going to Sturgis one day and wonders how he would be received there as a black (biracial) man. We lost my husband at the start of the pandemic and the following year my father-in-law who used to ride with a club when he was in the military died of cancer. My son misses his dad and wishes he could share his bike adventures with his Papa who was affectionately known as Doc-G.
Edit :Zeke's birthday is August 29th and I think I'm going to order him one of your hoodies.
One of the other experiences on that trip that was more than profound for my husband was Little Big Horn. He got chills and said it felt like he had been there before. Ride safe!
Bikers are some of the kindest people.
FLEABONE, what a great story. We come across people who believe they’re doing a small thing for us, which leaves a decades long lasting impression. Sometimes it’s negative, which can inhibit our reactions in future. More often than not ,it’s positive, like yours was and we use the experience to help others. Take care, from an Irish woman in Devon UK.
Me and your son share a birthday, it's amazing I found someone to share a birthday with, tell him Happy Birthday for me
My son rides.
My condolences on your losses.
They are mostly a kind bunch ❤
@@danoyse8233 Greetings from Idaho. Didn't see this or I would have replied sooner. Thank you. I miss England, my Mum is from Lowestoft, we lived there off and on when my sister and I were kids. I was born in Great Yarmouth. Hope you are well.
This was a beautiful video. And I truly pray that we as Black people stop lumping all of us into one basket. I’m a Black American female who loves reading fantasy books, hiking, camping, sewing, and doing yoga! I would’ve loved an open road trip like this. We are all individuals!
It's not always black people. Other races of people tend to judge black people as a whole. They stereotype us and think they know what we're about before they give us a chance.
We don't. We know what is up with the media. I treat people as individuals.
@lc6636 Well, I'm thankful for people like you who don't buy into media garbage. I judge people as individuals as well. I never assume I know how a person is or what they're interested in based on what they look like on the outside.
@@bubblybubbles4023 The people that are always concerned about race you should avoid at every turn.
I'm so grateful that I was raised to love everyone... I also enjoy writing, and I'm glad that you do as well.. 😊 Much love 💕
The media would love to keep us all scared and divided. I'm glad you took us all along on your trip. We enjoyed it!!! thank you
I am Black and I've been to Sturgis. I loved it. No problems so what are people talking about.
The media isn’t the issue, in my opinion, it’s hateful people misusing the media to spread their bile or their agenda.
I felt like I was on the road with yall . Salute to all of you 💯💯💯
@@M_Cusabo thank you!
Shocked that people were telling you that it was wrong for you to go to Sturgis. All riders are welcomed. Hope you enjoyed the party.
A more interesting video would be Whom said this?
@@palepride7530it was democrats who said that. They are either fully brainwashed or are race baiters who profit off division.
The only people I see who want segregation are liberal woke democrats but they have been that way for a century.
Exactly. Who's they? @@palepride7530
no knowledgeable person would tell him not to go to sturgis. bikers are bikers.
“Don’t let the ignorance of others stop you from being your best self” Love it! I needed that
You're so welcome! I hope you canget caught up on my other videos...I try to put a message in all of them.
@@JustGKueif you have moisture in your clutch doesn't that.mean you got moisture in your oil? I'm confused? If that's the case, you can ask local folk anywhere to buy oil and do a change. Nobody wants to be broke down on a vehicle.

Don't ever apologize for feeling emotional about your mom. It's a testament to the close relationship you had with her, and I love that you feel you take her with you. What an awesome adventure! I'm glad you didn't listen to the people who said not to go and took this amazing trip anyway. I loved your videos and commentary along the way, and I checked out a couple of your other videos, too.

The JOY is in the JOURNEY ❤❤❤
Man, sharing the part about your momma was special. Thank you. Going to call my mom and tell her I love her. Thanks brother
Like you said, misinformation is poison and as Mark Twain put it, travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Makes ya really think twice about those 15 min cities. People need to get off their phones and drive... even if its just to place 1 hr away. Then go further and further. This country is a beautiful place full of a wonderful variety of people! ❤
@shellbells3390 it's also full of racism, bigotry, and hate. Its sad so many people choose to overlook it
@jasonfisher6141 its really sad that that's how you choose to only see it. Sure weve all faced some type of adversity but the good far outweighs the bad. I only really see and feel it all the time is when Im online. Like people try to bring you down to state of victimization or something. Gosh.. like from people such as yourself.
@@shellbells339 not my fault you choose not to acknowledge the bad in this country. I travel up and down the roads of this country all day everyday so I don't have to get online to see what's going on. What gets posted online only underscores what I see in person on a day to day basis.
@jasonfisher6141 if the bad is what youre looking for, ya gonna get it. I look for the good, the positive. It so wonderful to be able to help someone. Be kind, and kindness comes back. Be sour and thats all you get in return. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for the truth friend.

Another Old white man here. I don't have color boundaries; only idiot boundaries. I've been a biker a racer blah blah. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It reached to me when I'm not quite sure of things in this stage of my life. I'm actually online shopping for bikes again. Thanks G! It was inspiring.
Peace . Many happy adventures ahead for you.
Old white lady here ! I smile seeing young men being able to enjoy life no matter what color or race. These men and woman riding together is something most of the country will never do. My riding bikes era is over 😔. but the wheels still roll ❤️. God bless and stay safe. ❤️

Thank you so much!
Man, this was fun to watch !! I'm a shy introvert, and rarely get out. But, this inspired me to tear down my self-imposed boundaries...and go somewhere !! I loved what you said about not accepting limitations imposed by others. An old Confucius saying: "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step". THANK YOU.
Good luck and I hope you truly can let go and enjoy whatever it is you want to see or experience!!
Take that step. Some of my best friends are like you. We met, because I saw they where introverted and made the effort to become friends. But they made the effort to travel away from home, so I knew they were trying.
@@JoeCashFlow1BC that's a awesome thing to do!

Man seeing you getting all emotional in front of that statue got me. Me and my dad stood at that exact spot a couple times. These scenes all brought back so many precious memories. Custer state park. Needles highway. All of it. Deadwood was probably my favorite town. I suggest going about a month after the Rally. It’s much warmer and less crowded. Glad you had an amazing trip.
I just watched this video. It gave me goose bumps on how emotional this trip was for you and your friends. I as a older white lady wish your words were more taken to heart. By all men and women. I believe racism is pushed by political interests, I cried with your dedication to your mom. God Bless you all.
Unfortunately, racism is alive and well from my personal experience. Politics fans and inflames it but it’s definitely here.

No…you are with your stupid comment. Grow tf up!
@@Daniel23544you are 100% there is racism out there. The point I wish you make is it is like stupidity. Not everyone suffers from that affliction. Because bad things exist does not equate to by proxy it is all there is. Sorry for preaching. Some focus on the crap out. This video was done obviously by a person who chooses to focus on the beauty out there. Hope you can one day learn to do the same. Many blessings to you and all the others who share your sentiments.
I’m a disabled veteran, 7 years us army, when I see racism, hatred etc it really makes me feel like those 7 years were a waste of time. Nobody but nobody is better than the person standing next to you. It doesn’t matter the color, religion, sexual orientation. Jesus said love thy neighbor. Not love thy neighbor if they meet your criteria. Much love.

So, if there's a convicted life long felon behind you, he's your equal? He'd make a good partner for your daughter and you'd be happy about the union? And you love him? If you say so. 🙃

I'm a 58 yrs white woman, your video has me in tears, for the reasons that you mention and for your sweet Mama showing you that she is with you at all times. And for the beautiful sites you got to experience. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS TRIP and not letting anyone tell you that you shouldn't!!
I was raised on motorcycles, my late husband and I planned on buying two bikes and we're saving to do so, he took ill suddenly when I was 40, just before he slipped into a coma that eventually took him from me forever, he made me promise to buy myself a Harley and ride the tires off of it, and he would be riding with me as my angel. A year after his passing I bought that Harley, I rode it every day. 2 yrs of having it, in 2009 I rode the entire Natchez Trace Parkway from the top in Tennessee to Natchez Mississippi, round trip was 1300 miles for me. It was a beautiful and peaceful ride, and also a test of my endurance for long distance riding on my own. My plan was to make my husband's and I dream ride out west, see all the amazing beautiful sites. So I began saving for that ride for June of 2010 and I was so excited for it. But I ended up having a bad accident in March of 2010, non bike related, that ended up changing my entire life forever. I was 3 short months away from finally living out our dream ride, it still breaks my heart to this day.
So just know that I took such great joy in watching you enjoying and experiencing all of the beauty that is out there and not letting anyone stop you from doing what you deserve to do! Your Mama is undoubtedly VERY proud of you, I certainly am! Much love and respect❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing that experience with us! Your husband is still proud of you and looking after you!

I loved your journaling of this trip across our beautiful country. I totally understood your grief and wishing your momma could hear your story or see the sites with you. My husband and I answered the call to become full time missionaries in Italy for 7 yrs and there were so many times I wanted to FaceTime my momma and share with her my experiences. But alas, she left this earth in 2012 and we moved to Italy in 2015. So glad you didn’t listen to others and their sewed opinion of travel. We have met such amazing people of all races on our journeys. It truly is a blessing. Thanks for your encouraging words. I am hoping those who need to hear your story will not be so afraid to open their eyes.

I sold my Harley in 2018. I always wanted to go to Sturgis - being an African American female kept me away though. I didn’t think I’d fit in, but was wrong. I had White church friends who went annually. Thank you SO much for sharing your journey. I especially like your analogies and sincere appreciation for nature and our American history. Keep riding! Keep shining!🏍💕🇺🇸💯😇
Maybe you could get another bike and go? Sounds fun doesn’t it!

Amen brother...as an older white guy you hit the nail right on the head with this one. I've been saying what you discovered for so long now. Forget race...we are all human despite there being good and bad in every one. Im glad you went on the trip to find out for yourself instead of swallowing the poison of misinformation and completely enjoyed yourself as you should. Its a memory and adventure you will never ever forget. God bless you and safe travels always!

Your Mom must have been so proud of the man you’ve become. She is surely watching over you with love.
It’s sad you ever questioned this. Only in the recent years have I heard people start talking about color bc I really thought we evolved past this. ALL People should be judged on their character, their heart, their actions. Your video was beautiful. I’ve never been that way. Thank you for sharing it with everyone 🤩😍
Thank you for taking that trip and taking all of us with you! My late husband and I volunteered every year at the biker wayside (Lingle Wyoming) our church set up for bikers headed to Sturgis. Our church was on one of the main highways leading up into Sturgis and ALL were welcome to a cot, food, drink and prayer if they asked. We saw many different types of people and all were kind to each other.
I am a old white brother here and as others have said no need to apologize for tears shed for our loved ones. I agree with what you said about nature. We need a lot more ambassadors showing more love of kindness and love toward others and Mother Nature. People ask me why like to skiing in the mountains and I tell them I love to go because it is a spiritual experience. It is like going to church but better. Love the video! God bless!
You'd think, in the blinding face of Mother Nature's splendor, even the most hard-hearted industrialist might shed a tear - not for profit, but for the pure, untamed beauty they're hell-bent on pillaging.
I'm not sure who spreads these rumors that attempt to divide us, but videos like this help break through those boundaries and fears. Saying hey from Montana 👋🏼
MSM and GOV.
@@Aurora3242 And youtubers lookin for clicks.
Left-leaning liberals BLM antifa
@@Kyle-ev4fk I see more from tiktok on yt, but yeah
@markovangelo are you really this ignorant?
Any man who cries when remembering a loved one who has passed is a solid dude in my book.
Respect 🙏
FACTS!
I went to Sturgis once. My group and myself were hung over everyday. Your a Boss. I just saw all the things I missed. I would love to ride with your group. Hopefully some day I will make it back and see your group. FYI, I'm going to follow you guys.
Thank you
Im a Louisiana woman and I will let you know it does not matter where you come from we are all the same in our heart. Never let anyone stop you from finding the joy this great nation has to offer. My door is always open for my neighbors and I will always have a warm hug waiting for them. Keep making these videos and never let anyone stop you from enjoying life. Peace and Love!!
TH-cam algorithm finally does something right.
Such a pleasure to watch. In our current world of confusion, fear, despair and bad stories pumped up to the max from every form of media, a regular Joe delivers sanity during the summer of 2023.
Thank you, brother.
Great narration, camera work via headcam, handcam, and drone. This entire video was the balm I needed. You are one of a small army of vloggers that are showing us that there is still beauty to see in people, nature, and life. And that adventure still exists everywhere.
You took a chance. I hope everything was fine by the time you arrived home. Sorry about your mother. God bless.
Im extremely grateful and appreciative of you! ✌🏾 I just want to spread peace love and joy!! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
The point where you paused to talk to your mom melted my heart! I know she was right there beside you, because one day my sons will need to talk to me in the same way. And I won’t hesitate to be there. Nothing can keep a mother away when her children call for her.
❤
Much love from idaho glad you guys took this trip brother dont let others limits hold you back ever theres too mmuch to see and experience in this world keep doing what you do your moms is watching over you!! 💙
I’m not a biker, but this video came up in my feed, so watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Do your thing, have adventures, meet people, laugh.
Never let the media or crazy lefties try to convince you you’d not be welcome anywhere.
Cheers from the UK.
Lord, your comment was cool until you brought politics into it. Shame shame, shame
@@cryptjoi9194 crazy leftie detected 😂
@@streetcarp475 What's crazy about caring about human rights? Wanting honest and responsible government? Wanting policies and an economic system that brings the most good to the most people, and a way to save our climate so we may continue to live with some degree of safety into our future?
@@argusfleibeit1165 Man, I really hate to do this here, but I am a historian, I taught history and political science. I've been up to my ears in history for probably 40 years, consumed by it.
It's not about human rights, They use 99% of it as a tool to divide and create opposition.
If you never turned on your tv you'd never know about any of it, everyone would still treat you like a friend and neighbor. The federal government was never granted the right to involve themselves in any of that really, their job is to protect our border and our constitution, states is where everything else belongs.
Not trying to make it a fight, just pointing it out. Love ya
I wish more people would take the time to travel to see our country with their own eyes, and connect with other Americans. It's a great country that the media and politicians are doing their best to tear apart. Glad you had a great trip.
Yes! G Kue is awesome, what an inspiring story. I agree with you that politicians and media cause much more division than is the reality in this great country. We are all children of God. God bless us, everyone.
100% agree. I took this approach with a trip to Chicago. So many people told me not to; so glad I didn't listen to them. I realized the vast majority of those telling me it was dangerous, had never been there, just repeating what they read on some FB post. I "survived" 10 days, I never felt uncomfortable; had an absolute blast and the city is gorgeous.
@@richskater I've never been to Chicago, but during the course of my career, met many people from Chicago. To a person, every one of them expressed love for their home city 🏙️
i love it when black people go to the "most racist places in america" then everyone just ignores them lol
This is why the government and media love the idea of lockdowns. Because you can't connect with other people, you just have to listen to what they say in that case
Going viral, +1.4 million views at this point and I understand the reason. This is one of the best videos I've seen. Inspirational, as well as bringing me to tears as you spoke about your mother. You have a talent for telling your story. A new subscriber here.
Thank you for sharing your awesome trip with us, you will meet new folks that welcome you.
People are just people ! We have so much more in common ! Enjoyed your journey !
Three years ago I retired from a promotion job in the tourism industry. I was speaking to a group from a local tourism board about all of the great camping, rafting, hiking,and other outdoor activities in the area. A black member of the board asked me, “What do you have for black people?”. I was surprised by the question because I had never thought about there being any difference in activity based on skin color. The message you are sending is so important. People need to enjoy everything life has to offer and stop labeling things based on imagery restrictions.
Seriously, I ski and snowboard which are stereotypically 'white' activities. But now that local inner city schools have started weeknight ski clubs the stereotype is changing.
What a weird question. It’s really like they deliberately set themselves apart from society with this kind of thinking. I’m from Europe, so I don’t understand his question.
Usually, we limit ourselves based on our inner perceptions, which we warp by our own imaginations. Nuff said.
@@dietlindvonhohenwald448if you’re not of that culture you wouldn’t understand and not expected to understand. God bless
We just think 'do it' if you want to do something, figure out how to do it and go... Please don't tear down so much culture just take part in it! I don't think anyone with a good heart intends to 'separate' we just do! so just DO!
We need more of this in this country. More people ignoring the race baiters and lamestream media. THIS video and what you experienced is what this country is all about - Americans love one another - religion, race, how you dress, who you identify as does not matter - be respectful and you will get respect. This country is a melting pot and it is what makes us strong - do not let them divide or categorize us.
@AndreWebb-sc1ugIf you don't know what's going on in this country by now, just go back to sleep I guess!
@AndreWebb-sc1ug
I don't know what you're talking about with the 50's... I TRULY hope that you aren't talking about Jim Crow laws and Sundown towns being equivalent to chattel slavery!!! Jim Crow and the Reconstruction era where definitely prejudiced and at times outright rac!st, but that's gone on all over the world since the beginning to EVERY "type" of person... almost always those of lower economic means. The History of the USA isn't exactly what any of us think it was, first person in the US to own a human FOR LIFE was named Anthony Johnson (look him up). 1 million troops died in the Civil War, some Southern Black folk fought on the Confederate side.
Lastly, this COUNTRY never owned any person. People owned slaves, keep in mind that there were quite a few Black men who reached the "status" of Planter (50+ slaves, I believe). How can it be dividing by race if African kings flooded the market through violent raids and African-Americans also owned African slaves? It was a terrible stain on our History but it's far more complex than you make it out to be. Study up, my friend... you're not a victim anymore than anyone else in the same economic class. Voter suppression, lynchings, racial gun control all affected lower economic White folk too. Rise above the rhetoric, it's tough to let go of hate, but you'll never know freedom unless you do. ☮& ♥
ChicagoTRS....your exactly right!! And we up here im the northwest S.D and
N.D and M.T. we are NOT racist at all! And people are missing out on so much beauty and experiences up here. We ALL bleed red period!! DONT LET THEM DIVIDE US!!! Sooo many misconceptions its ridiculous. Im so glad he made the trip to S.D and hopefully he'll be back for the Sturgis Bike Rally next year! He would have an absolute blast!!!! Much love from Montana ❤❤❤
Unfortunately you are speaking about yourself. This nation was founded on racism. There is a caste system here which thankfully is getting torn to pieces by Black empowerment. Reparations are due as well.
What did you get from watching this video?
As a fellow black man and traveler...NEVER not go somewhere because of someone else's bad experience, experience it for yourself. As long as you're safe and being cool, you can go anywhere you want. I "lucky" enough to go to Air Force Field Training at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota and I had the chance to see most of that...I was also there during the actual Sturgis Bike fest...It was amazing seeing all of the bikes there. South Dakota is definitely a travel stop and something that is a must see!
I appreciate you
and Galveston too.
One of the very best TH-cam videos I have ever seen. Amazing scenery from the road and the skies of our beautiful country. What is even more beautiful is that there was absolutely no hate anywhere. We are all Americans and we need to stop letting outside forces try to divide us. G was told over and over, not to go to Sturgis but he went and provided one of the best lessons any of us could ask for. We are all Americans, lets stay that way and to do so, we need good men like Just G Kue to remind us just who we are and where we are from. God Bless you G Kue.
Well damn said! Thank you 🙏🏽
Negativity and hate is a poison in our society. I'm glad you didn't let it infect you! Subscribed!
I agree as a white man
The negativety, hate and poison comes from white and black liberals. They are the only ones saying don't go here and don't do this cuz you're black and if you don't do this and that you ain't black etc. Nobody cares you're black but them! Go to a Trump rally and see for yourself how little anyone cares that you are black. It's about diversity of thought and being an independent thinker vs diversity of race and group think. It's very clear who is right and who is poison.
I just got back from Sturgis a couple days ago. It was my first time. I already can't wait to go back next year. Sturgis is for everyone. I saw nothing but hundreds of thousands of people who just wanted to get together to ride and to have a great time. There is so much beauty in this country and everyone deserves to see it.
Glad you had a great time here and hope you return next year!!!
If you show up looking for a fight you will find it, no matter where you go. If you show up knowing strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet that’s what you get. Doesn’t have to be complicated. Great video and the moment you had with your mom broke me and no doubt hundreds of other people. Thanks G. Subscribed.
I truly thank you for watching!
Powerful bro
@@DCBrown1000 thank you!
Yal had the experience that some dont get to do stay safe bro
Truth in this comment, for real.
Thanks for answering the question G-Kue. Have a great time on that bike clearing up the rumors. Much appreciated!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Peace my young friend. 70 year old white Texan here. Brings tears to my eyes over you losing your Ma. I'm so glad you didn''t fall into the trap of listening to someone else's fears. When I read the title of your video, i knew I HAD to watch it. We're all so much alike with our wants, needs, and desires. And we all have so much good ness in our hearts, if we will just stop listening to the orchestrated lies of MSM. Sorry, off on a rant here. Thanks for being you and bringing peace. New sub.
Leave it to a maga republican to bring politcs into a video like this. Just our little secret since you live under a rock, Foxnews lost $700million dollars to dominon for the lies they pushed about the stolen election.
U So Fuggn ROK!
thank U 4 just B'ing U!
no reason for apologies, i hear a beautiful majestic Roar n not a rant.
keep Roaring Lion, if not the unnatural hyenas take over because of Our complacency.
Love n Blessings Family!!!
m evn Super impressed that U used a capital for "Ma"! shows how much U respect Moms/Mommys/Mas.
U So ROK!
m subbn to show my support.
love n Blessings Family!!!
Yes my brother!!
Wow, so many emotions flooded in as I watch this. I am an African American female rider. I truly miss two wheel road trips and need to get back on the road. I have been to Sturgis several times and enjoyed it immensely. I have only had a slight situation once and it was handled without incident. This was an amazing video and I am so thankful that the TH-cam algorithm led me here. And of course I subscribed. Lol
Get out there, the roads calling. You dont even have to go anywhere, just go. You'll never regret it.
Ditto,i subbed also
@@StrifeA217 Oh I definitely will. Unfortunately I have to focus on rebuilding my business before I can go out again. The pandemic devastated us. So now it's back to work hard to play hard. Ya know? I'm on it!👍🏾
Whoever said black people shouldn't go have no idea how open armed and friendly these people really are. I would stop listening to advice from these people immediately. Your video brought tears to my eyes and made me think a lot about family and life.
Its the Left breeding hatred , they are the ones telling people not to go
No doubt. It's strange because I have never heard of this at all. I've assumed all bikers who enjoy bikes go to this event.
Non-gang bikers are some of the friendliest people(circumstances aside) I would know my dad has a bike he rides around and has since I've been alive and people stereotype the shit out of him just because of his look and tats(ngl funny as hell when he proves them wrong and it looks like you just slapped the taste out if their mouth)
Why did it bring tears to your eyes?
I think those ppl are referring to a historical portion of society being certified ahoes
Man, great video of y'all's ride. I loved every minute. I've had both of my parents pass away and I want to share a little bit of advice someone told me one day when I had a very similar situation. I had a moment with Mom, Dad and God... Emotions happened around a group of friends and I apologized for getting upset. My buddies wife gave me a hug and said "don't apologize for how much you love your mother and father. For they are here with you today in your heart." Keep riding boss. Be safe out there.
Live to ride!
Ride to live!
Mad respect for pushing outside of your comfort zone (in multiple ways).
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Keep riding my friend & stay safe!
It's rare that anything brings tears to my eyes. This video did. As an African American man, I salute you my friend. Thank you for this. Enjoyed every moment!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! hope you can get caught up on my other travels here th-cam.com/play/PLOQxD1WERKOMloCIs2Fv4gnAwMlWj0ZXx.html i hope you enjoy!
Me too!
Also, I need to plan my next road trip!
That’s why you know this guy is real. People try to act hard and pretend life doesn’t affect them. Nothing cuts harder than losing your mother, by living life he is paying tribute each and every day.
Poetry in motion.
Thank you
The devil's tower is an ancient tree stump
I have no idea how I happened upon your video- but so blessed I did. I live on the east coast and you brought me down memory lane when my husband and traveled out that way for the first time over 40 years ago- like you said pictures can’t even compare- God was everywhere-felt everywhere. As an old woman and a reader of many books, I wish, if you haven’t already, keep these narrations/notes/writings and publish a book. You are very talented in the way you describe things, the images you create- how you speak and how you write-the phrases you use “trees standing at attention. Keep making videos and keep writing, and riding!! For me, I’ve never even been on a bike, but who’s saying I can’t at age 80! God bless from one human to another.
Thank you so much Kathy! I just want to bring the viewer into my world and hope they feel what I'm doing and not just watching.
My mother passed 24 yrs ago. Being an only child and so was my Mom. I truly lost my best friend and Mom. I understand those emotions. I became a 1st time grandmother on 8-11-23 to one of my 3 sons I feel her presence each time I hold my granddaughter.🤟🏾❤
Glad you had a good time, brother. This was my fifth time at Sturgis. All bike enthusiasts are welcome and the overwhelming majority of us won't even pay attention to something like skin color
Never apologize for showing your emotions about anything or anyone. Great ride, guys!! I felt like I was with you all the way. Beautiful, unforgettable scenery, simply beautiful. Definitely would need a tissue box on that ride, experiencing the forest, the rock tunnels, the winding roads. What an adventure you all had. I'm coming with you all next time!!
i agree with you. im reading this after having thought to myself in my head that i should apologize for skipping through that part which i did BECAUSE it hit too close right now and hit hard, but for my reasons. I have mad respect for dudes honesty and openness and for/to his mom and for sharing. I feel humbled for being included in that experience
< -(" explaining the sense of guilt making me feel a need to apologize ")-
Thanks for the road trip! It took me down memory lane! Our country is so beautiful...😊
