    Hey man, I'm happy to see this video is still up. I remember watching this before I ever bought a bike and wanting to do a trip like yours. Your video insñired me to go from Massachusetts to California and back. Getting lost many times along with being caught in blizzards, rain storms and losing three phones. The experience was worth it and I cherish the memories. I am a father now and don't have the free time I used to. I hope that when my son is old enough he'll be my companion. Cheers and happy travels.

    For a guy who has ridden over 45 years and hundreds of thousands of miles on dozens of bikes I just want to say this is one of the best "flow" videos I have ever seen. The music is SUPERB with the transitions of perfect to mud to falling to a breakdown ...just fills in every gap of the possible.

    Time and time again for nearly a decade I come back to this video. Because you nailed it, you did what nobody else (me included) could do at the time to capture perfectly the feeling of what it is to do what we do. The music choice in time with the ever changing scenery, that feeling of mystery and discovery never knowing what's coming next, always moving what it is to be truly alive on two wheels.

    I've been watching this video 10, 20 or 30 times already. Every time it gives me goospimples. The music is perfect, and the story you tell is incredible. It's not so much a story ... by jumping around from in time and space, you allow us to fully grasp the extent of your journey.
    Well done, Alex. This video is on my weekly to-watch list, and it inspires me to make my home movies as good as this. Still learning :)

И вот уже через 4 дня я отправляюсь в своё первое мотопутешествие на 2500...3000км. Спасибо таким людям как Алекс за то что дарят другим цель и вдохновение.

      "I saw this video about a year ago. At that time I had neither motorcycle nor driving license. I had no idea, what is it like - to travel on a motorcycle, but I had a huge wish to try to do so. In 4 days I depart in my first motorcycle journey, which is 2500-3000 kilometres long. Thank you Alex and other people, who give others goal and inspiration"

      Debojit Belel we look to heaven because we will pass from this earth. Heaven is the eternal state but it is only for those who have been cleansed of the defiling sins they have committed. Jesus is the one who has provided eternal luge for all that come to good through him. Romans 1:16-18 "...the gospel of Christ (the good news of his death burial and resurrecting for ought sins): for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For in the gospel is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"

As a fellow rider you are the biggest inspiration for me to continue to ride and record those lovely moments. Godspeed..✌ keep doing what you are good at.keep riding✌🙂

      We did 4 months on roughly a 10th of our annual household income. It gets a LOT cheaper if you leave the US. (Based on how much we've spent, our past few annual 2-3 week vacations would have financed well over twice as long outside the US.)
      Don't underestimate how much cheaper things are in some parts of the world. You don't need as much as you think you do (unless you're taking a tour or going someplace like Europe where the costs are similar) so it's definitely an achievable goal!

    Finally I found this video again. I remember I watched this like 6-7 years ago and back then I didn't even have a motorcycle. Last year me and my wife as a pillion did a huge Europe tour for 24 days and it was hell of an experience. The only regret that I have is that I only used a one camera. While working on the footage I remember this video and I couldn't find it no matter what I try and after several months finally I did. I think somewhere in deep you made the inspiration to me for this kind of big trips. Thank you for giving the inspiration for the biggest experience in my life (so far).

      Depends on where you go and how fast you ride. Can be under $30/day for gas/food/lodging if you ride a small motorcycle in cheaper countries and camp occasionally.
