    Hi, a longtime BMW rider from Tennessee here. Thanks for the great video! I've only been through, maybe I should say across, Vermont 4 times, all on US Route 4. Twice east to west, twice west to east. Was last through there in Sept. '24 on my way back from a BMW rally in Fryeburg, Maine. Love your state and now that I'm retired wanting to do some exploring there. I appreciate your video, definitely want to ride all the way up state 100 and check out Stowe along the way. Thanks again, I'll try to check out your other videos. Richard

    Excellent video. Thanks 👍. I was born in Springfield and live in Ludlow. It's good to see parts of our beautiful state that I haven't been to yet. I'm 55 and don't get around much anymore. Thanks 👍🙏✌️

    Loved going to smugglers notch as a kid in the seventies, so much exploring and climbing on the boulders and cliffs.

    That’s a really nice area. I used to ski there a zillion years ago and would go to Jay Peak as well

    We love to go to Stowe and smugglers Notch every year, but since virus scraped many habits, we have to wait. That VonTrapp hotel is something else and has a great view. Thanks for the vid, too bad it doesn't really reflect the reality of how steep are the hills.

    • @vermont_rider
      @vermont_rider  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We love Stowe as well... we live about an hour away. We like going to the Von Trapp... they have an awesome brewery there. And yes... the ride up Smuggs is very steep and very tight turns around big boulders. It is pretty technical in a big Harley bagger... scrape the floorboards haha

      @@pascalmonier4642 haha... i live right off of Rt 17 in Bristol. I have ridden that road many times. It’s called the App Gap. I am pretty sure I have a video of it on my TH-cam channel if I remember correctly

    I would love to ski up by your area. I have a friend who lives up there and raves about it. Thanks for the tour and wild to hear about the trucks getting stuck in the rocks.

      Yeah the skiing up here is pretty awesome. There are about 6 ski areas an hour from me.

    VR, another great ride and that is an awesome camera view from behind the bike how did you do that? Keep up the great rides and I will continue to enjoy. You are showing me what I want to see when I get a chance to tour New England, about the only part of the country I have not visited.

    • @vermont_rider
      @vermont_rider  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks. The camera is an INSTA360 One X. It has the ability through its built in software to make the pole holding the camera disappear. Then you can choose what you want your viewers to see through the software as well. It’s pretty amazing technology

      I never have but 3 of my cousins have . And have spent time in the main home . My grandmother should have about a half a case on wine given to her from her mom which is a sister to the traps. I look forward to receiving at least one bottle of wine .

    I recently downloaded an app you might find interesting. It’s called Peak Finder, and even though it cost $5, I thought it was worthwhile. A park ranger on the Blue Ridge Pkwy here in NC showed it to me, and it shows mt peaks and their elevation. Thanks for posting, ride safe.
