I've put lots of custom made maps, details and links to locations in this video on my website which I will link here and in the description. Have you guys ever been to Monument Valley, Horseshoe Bend, or the Grand Canyon? Let me know below 👇🏻motoblade.co/destinations
Brought two of them with me on the trip- had already worn them by this point and they were in the dirty laundry bag in the trunk. Thought about it when I got to Grand Canyon that night 😂
Good point. I was going to say something similar! Also…never ride without gloves. And stash a piece of 1x4 to put under the kickstand. I’ve had asphalt melt away and dump my KZ.
@billzielke6798 I saw a guy who somehow attached a piece of paracord to a hockey puck for his kickstand. He could put it down and pick it up without having to bend over to pick it up
I miss being out there already! It was a spectacular place. I can't wait to go back. I also want to spend more time in Zion National Park (where my next video will be!). Beautiful part of the country.

@@MOTOBLADE man!!! Same here… can’t wait!!! Looking forward for the new video!!! Keep killing it!!! 🦅💪
I live in Prescott Arizona (yep, the Earps and Doc H. lived here for a while. Virgil Earp owned the sawmill at Thumb Butte) and while it doesn't get as hot as Phoenix, it still gets hot and DRY! However, as hot as it gets I still wear mesh jacket and pants in case of a crash. I don't want to lose my skin on the road AND the sun will burn your hide off! I noticed you looked a little pinker than usual! ATGATT! All The Gear All The Time!
I've done the monument valley trip on my Triumph Tiger a couple times. I remember putting my helmet on, and it's like putting a cold wet sponge on. I live in Safford, just head straight up hwy 191, and keep going
I just kept soaking the inside liner of my helmet, my shirt, and my pants. Evaporation felt nice for about 10 mins then it was all gone because it was just so incredibly dry. Beautiful part of the country. Can’t wait to visit again!
Great video, dude. Perfect edit. I love the amount of video just seeing the road in front if you as you ride, perfectly sprinkled in with some views off to the side. Sweet commentary. Thanks for letting me tag along on you trip brother, much appreciated.
Thank you! I tried to throw in some more “riding” with and without music because it was requested by you guys on previous videos. Next up in this series is Zion and Bryce National Parks - then Yellowstone!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. I do a lot of test ride reviews on new bikes, but I enjoy these videos riding around the country the most. If you haven’t already seen it, I recently released a video of my ride down Route 66, as well as Sturgis 2024. Next video in this series from my trip around the country will be Zion and Bryce National Parks, then Yellowstone! Thanks again for watching and subscribing, welcome and ride safe brother ✌🏻
Well shit! You just popped up on my feed. Looks like you and I have a hell of a lot in common! I love that you posted just about everything including where to get all your gear! Right on!!! I’ve been wanting to do your ride through KPGA and Monument Valley. Hopefully soon. Johnny just traded in his Ultra Limited for an Indian Challenger Dark Horse (for a good reason) and I ride with the same boots you do. Keep the shiny side up!
That’s awesome! Glad to hear from another CFI on here. We share the same trauma of students trying to take us out 😂 Jealous of the Indian Challenger DH brother. If I was ever going to trade in Chief Slapahoe, that’s the bike I would do it for. What part of the country do you fly in? I’m based in the northeast.
Chief Slapahoe never broke a sweat, I sure did though 😅 Never got an oil temp light, didn't burn any oil, just pressed on like an absolute champ. Indian Motorcycles are the best of the best! Next up in this series is Zion and Bryce - Zion was perhaps my favorite National Park of the whole trip. After that - Grand Teton and Yellowstone! After Yellowstone, the most dangerous road in America - The Beartooth Highway. Oh, AND I just finished one of the most beautiful videos I have ever filmed, which will be released next Sunday - Motocamping in the Vermont Fall Foliage. Waterfalls, single lane notch roads, campfires… I've been sitting in the home office all day and I'm on an editing roll! How am I going to top that you ask? You'll see 😎✌🏻
Motorcycles not allowed? That's too bad. Motorcycle ride, in sunset, through Monument Valley was the only thing I wanted to go to USA for. / If those were little bison, how big are the big ones? 😆
Very, VERY big 🦬 Monument valley is red sand. No traction for the bike. You can take a tour in a 4x4 through it and you can drive around the area of it. But the dedicated valley tour requires four wheeled drive. I doubt they would allow an ADV bike through it, but that would be all you could take in there with a chance of keeping it upright.
@@kelvinknaff9903 Booked it about 3 weeks out from my arrival date. North rim doesn’t seem to fill up as fast as the south rim. Takes more effort to get there but well worth it in my opinion. I enjoyed the stay in their camp hotel there very much.
@@kelvinknaff9903 I wasn't sure if I was going to even be able to make the trip so I made a last minute choice to book it. Only had 2 left when I booked, so I got lucky, was also only for 1 night, on a weekday.
Cool video; as an Arizona native (born in Flagstaff); I found this very pleasant to watch. And, yes,viewing the Grand Canyon seen in person is truly amazing.👍🏻🫡
Way better than I could have imagined. You see pictures of it your whole life but that just doesn't prepare you for the absolute scale of how massive it is. So cool. Glad I got to come out to your neck of the woods and see it 😎✌🏻

In hot weather, a white long sleeve fishing shirt really helps

Just came from a moto camping trip to Monument Valley!!!!! What an incredible place to be in the wind!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

@@Scout4x that’s cool they lived there. I’ve got some family out there in the Prescott area.
Wow! Beautiful scenery and I like your choice of music for your video. Great job.

Great vlog well put together that’s a bucket list ride for me what beautiful country ride safe
@@JoeFurtado-xv5no it really is stunning out there in the desert. Beautiful, wide-open roads. Hope you get to ride it one day! ✌🏻
Love your videos brother, you inspire me to make better videos and learn. What a great trip
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed the ride! I got more coming 😎✌🏻

Another spectacular video. Those looks like some great roads. I'll have to get out there on my Chieftain some day!
@@randomstuffwithjoe Definitely need to get out there. It’s absolutely spectacular riding and scenery.
Two question, how did the bike perform and how are you going to top that??

Thanks for the response I have a Chief Vintage and man it frigging awesome.
I loved my Chief Dark Horse. What got me started on Indian Motorcycles in the first place.

How far out did you book your stay @ the North Rim Lodge?

@@MOTOBLADE I was booking shortly after COVID; couldn’t get anything looking 6 months out; I’ll try again..
