I really like how you show the amount of kilometres you rode and how you rated the twisties and scenery on the day's ride. You some varying weather conditions to contend with and you rode very capably. I enjoyed watching. Stay safe and well.

One of the benefits of not making reservations for accommodations is a simple fact that you don't have to be any place at a certain time. Of course the downside to that is, you don't have a place organized to stay causing you to having to wing it. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Totally agree. I chose to book all my lodging this time mostly due to the pandemic (very few lodging) but I will probably go back to not booking in advance on my next trip (or maybe one day in advance). It was putting way too much stress on the whole trip.
I watch a music discussion channel called Sea of Tranquility where Poughkeepsie is regularly mentioned - it was nice to actually see some film of it ! Keep safe and sound ! 🇬🇧
Nice vid, keep calm. The road never ends and you will never see all the bridges so being dysfunctional is only a minor hiccup. Sleep more, you have 4 eyes. 😀 Ride on, stay safe.
Perfect,,,,, you do exactly as I would get off the road when traffic is driving me crazy,,, and than in calmness carry on,,,, nice bridge as well and your mini stops with the tech issues lol
Isa, c'est trop court !!! 🤣🤣 Merci pour tes images magnifiques. Et je vois que comme tout vrai motard, tu es une sauvage ! 🤣😉 Comme je te comprend, moi qui voyage aussi exclusivement seul ! Aller hop au montage, on veut la suite !!
Okay okay, j'y retourne ;-) Très sauvage oui, j'adore voyager seule. Mais c'est en partie pour cette raison que j'ai décidé de créer cette chaine youtube. Je partage mon voyage d'une autre manière :-)
Poughkeepsie NY in the Hudson Valley. Before I moved to SC 2 years ago I lived in the Hudson Valley (town of Newburgh) for 30+ years. Poughkeepsie has some beautiful places BUT it seems that you went into the not so good spot from what I could see lol. So you were correct in having your antenna up for danger. It was nice everything went well for you. That Bear mtn bridge rd you speak of if I remember correctly is NY rt 6 ( we called it the goat trail) . It is steep in some spots with lots of hairpins. My friends and I loved. 15- 20- 25 yrs ago my friends and I would spend hrs on that road having a blast. It was nice to see some ol favorite/familiar roads again. 🤙🤙. Excellent video.
“Brain Loading”! Laughed my butt off, been there😂 Last time I got rained on I pulled over and checked the weather radar to try to find my way around the rain clouds. Epic fail. Should’a just gone for 8 coffees somewhere. Also, you rode through some of the most complex geological parts of not just North America but the world. You may or may not be interested but search “Orogeny Geological Formation of North America: 600 million years to present”. Short version, the Appalation mountains were once greater than the Himalayan ranges. Scotland and Newfoundland share some of the world’s oldest rocks. There’s also a channel called Geodoxa that highlights incredible ice age features closer to you.
Was excited to see a new video posted this AM! You didn't disappoint. I grew up in Eastern NY, & it was great to see some familiar scenery. Your mind works in a fun, beautiful way. It makes things interesting & what is life for if you don't stop & smell (see) the bridges, or the lighthouses, or the biggest, oldest, weirdest something or other! Safe travels.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Jonathan. Very much appreciated. And you're right, if you feel like you should do a u-turn to get a closer look at whatever , you should never refrain yourself.
I’ve been waiting for this, great to see you post, no matter what happens on your journey, take it all in, it’s worth it, looking forward to the next to watch ☺️
I will apologize for laughing but you were cracking me up. Let me explain why. I have spent the last 39 years in the transportation and logistics industry. I remember the days when I was a driver in an 18 wheeler going all over the country and everything you were talking about in this video were the same things that would make me swear either at myself or other idiots on the road. As I listened to you I kept thinking to myself “hmm she sounds just like me “. Anyway I’m glad you have had a safe week. I hope all is well with you. Be safe.
@@dustnroad I know you were being silly and I really enjoyed your video. I just couldn’t stop laughing. I just kept thinking how much you reminded me of me. It does seem like people are getting more stupid as time goes on. I think there are too many distractions nowadays. Just be careful. Here in Utah we have already had 44 motorcycle fatalities this year. I hope you are well and that you continue to have a safe journey. If you ever make it out to this part of the USA let me; I would like to meet you.
Great vid! I forget that the secondary roads in the US can be fun. I road from Vancouver island down to the Grand Canyon in AZ and back years ago, was fun. Looking forward to your next video. 😊
I love following your videos, I will have a suggestion, In big cities, if you have the opportunity, it would be much better if you could stop by places like cafes and give information. Just a think
That's a good point, Mert. I must say it was my first time filming while on the road and boy, that's a whole job. Didn't get to film as much as I wanted (and give more info on places I stopped) but definitely will do more of that on my next trip next year :-) Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
PS. Your crash.. We're you wearing normal jeans/ pants Or Kevlar type motorcycle types. As they looked on the videos..as if the did NOT perform well Hence your cuts.. injuries Stay safe Just a curious Scotsman.. biker
@@andrewewan624 My whole outfit did perform really well (especially my boots that definitely saved my foot from harsher injuries). So, those were regular jeans BUT I had a layer of kevlar underneath., which helped a bit (obviously not enough). And no knee armors (which was to biggest mistake actually). Today, I do wear real legit kevlar jeans (even though they are crazy warm) WITH knee protectors :-) Lesson learned.
@@dustnroad aye Lesson learnt. Having had several off's over the years. ..and years as an instructor.. I always..ATGATT.. All the gear all the time Body does not bounce as well as we all age Stay safe
As you know, Mother nature has an odd sense of humor. The next time you're in NH and VT with a bit of effort you can visit seven of the eight remaining covered railroad bridges in the US.
@@dustnroad I figured a bridge aficionado would want know about these magnificent works of engineering art. Not that metal truss bridges aren't very cool.
J’ai découvert hier votre chaîne TH-cam. Je suis ravi. Je découvre des endroits inconnus pour moi (sauf Québec). Je me retrouve dans la manière d’aborder un roadtrip à moto. Je retrouve même ma moto (j’ai la même BMW F900R noire). Super. Merci. Eh hop ! Je m’y abonne et je replonge. PS : petite question, c’est quoi le modèle de sauté-vent ? Contente de lui ?

Ohhh. Well that is beautifully said and so very true! Thank you for sharing that inspiring quote, Ljoel.
I cant stress how much I love these videos, giving me inspiration for my own trip
Thanks a lot Richard. New ones are coming :-)

Thank you for this wellmade film. I like the distance/rating thingy. Is it really a month since last film? Well, then the next film is not far away! 🙂
It's been 3 weeks (I was behind schedule for the first one ... the editing was crazy) but next one will be a month. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

Exactement. On aime ça les journées parfaites de temps en temps quand même ;-)
Your road trip, do what you want. Just take us all along for the ride 👍
I sure will :-)
Que tengas un buen viaje 👍✌
You have some of the best content out there. So glad I found your channel!
Thanks so much, really appreciate it :-)
Great video, awesome trip, keep inspiring, stay safe and thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks so much, Nelio!
Nice vid, keep calm. The road never ends and you will never see all the bridges so being dysfunctional is only a minor hiccup.
Sleep more, you have 4 eyes. 😀
Ride on, stay safe.
Ahah, yeah I'm having so much trouble sleeping well on road trips ...
I like your video and share your passion for backroad motorcycle travel and bridges! Kentucky here. Subscribed.
Welcome to the crew. Yep, big fan of backroad travel. No off-road but still more adventurous than big state roads. Though some are beautiful as well
DUSTnROAD~ so unreal view,:)
I know. It's gonna get even better in the next chapters.
There she is 🤗 awesome freaking video you put together, loved it! Your personality is perfect and you just rock 🤙
Jeez, thanks a lot for the good words. Very much appreciated :-)
Magnifique, merci pour ces vidéos et prouver que l'ont sait faire un Road-Trip avec une autre moto qu'un Trail ..Soyer prudente 😉
Merci :-) Je pense vraiment qu’on peut faire de longs voyages avec n’importe quelle moto. La distance par jour et le confort seront juste différents!
Perfect,,,,, you do exactly as I would get off the road when traffic is driving me crazy,,, and than in calmness carry on,,,, nice bridge as well and your mini stops with the tech issues lol
Oh I have alllll kinds of issues on the road loll
A bad bike days beats a good work day
That is so so true!
I'm hanging on every note. Brilliant.
Thanks so much, Patrick
Reminds me of my bike trips! haha! Great video, ride safe and looking forward for more!

Great entry!
Thanks, James
You passed right through my neck of the woods. Be safe
Really? I hope it's not the place I told felt unsafe ;-)

For a minute l thought you were riding here in Scotland.. sunshine then heavy rain..😁
Love your accent
Stay safe
Never have been to Scotland (on the bucket list) but you're right. Some landscapes are similar.
@@dustnroad yes.. lot's of similar scenery... albeit on a smaller scale here
PS.
Your crash..
We're you wearing normal jeans/ pants
Or Kevlar type motorcycle types.

Hence your cuts.. injuries
