Retiring in 3 months, I'm planning to do this with one of my best friends, he doesn't know it yet... he has done it once but said the lead guy had an agenda to cover so many miles each day! My thoughts are, no timelines, however long it takes us is what it is! Thanks for videoing your trip, it has inspired me to start planning ASAP!
Thank you for watching and im so happy to hear it was inspiring. That’s how I tried to do my planning aswell. You will have a journey of a lifetime and if you take your time there will be some nice towns and sights along the route. Let me know how it was. Godspeed🛵
My friends have made a few attempts, and one of them kept having mechanical issues, with 2 different bikes. The other one finished. So the one who didn't asked me to do the final stretches with him. So we started in Salt Lake City and picked up the trail in Wendover Nevada. We finished the Pacific Ocean Spur in Port Orford Oregon 5 days later. Now I want to do the entire route! Thanks for the great video!
Definitely one of the most entertaining TAT videos I have witnessed. I would’ve liked to seen Tennessee and North Carolina water crossings especially the Whitt Road crossings
This was awesome and inspiring. One tip that may help you or someone else is placing a dab of silicone on the head of a bolt/nut will keep it from spinning loose, but will be easy to remove if you need to access it.
The lighter the better as you can jump and slide around more. It all comes down to the luggage weight. We had 12 kg each so a 450-650cc bike is perfect. Raise the bar so you can ride standing up when needed and dont use the clumsy panniers. Let me know if you head out there.
Only once in the Rockie Mountains due to higher altitude but it would have worked without adjustments. Kristoffer had a malfunctioning Carb from L.A to Moab Where we had a new one shipped. So for a week he struggled with his throttle getting stuck in full Rev.
@@PeterMonsler thanks for that info. I’m planning to ride an XR650R for my TAT adventure next spring as well. I will be sure to get a high altitude needle for sure. I’m in Utah but plan to start on the East Cost. Have you posted more details about your trip somewhere?
So, it was really interesting watching this video right after another video made by a woman who rode from the southern tip of South America to Alaska. One person is talking about how they almost got their finger pinched in a rat trap. The other is showing how they nearly got knocked off the side of a mountain by an oncoming semi in Ecuador on a single lane road. Very different travel stories.
Yes indeed. If you dig a little bit deeper into my other videos you Will find stories such as: smuggling a ATV into Russia, running out of fuel in the middle of the worlds most remote desert and totalling a ktm somewhere in the moroccan waste lands. Thanks for watching and your feedback. See you out there

How's the trip planning going?
Interesting background music for a crossing of America

This could have been a couple hours, very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for watching!!
That was EXCELLENT Peter!!
Thank You! 🙏
Thank you very much! I hope it was inspiring.
Very inspiring. I think mousse would have been a good choice in the deserts.
Yes thats very true. And it would have the Perfect softness for the sand.
You seem like a great riding partner. It looked like you enjoyed the great North American landscape very much. Cheers!

Thanks! Those water crossings you mention were quite deep and a LOT of watersnakes! Only managed to capture One of them on Camera through.

Great Video Pedro! Nice trip!
Thanks a lot!

Wow! Quite the adventure!
Epic. Try it if you ever get the chance🙌
So cool man. Bet it was so much fun
Yes it was One of my better adventures🙌
The trail starts in Virginia and ends in Washington state. No need to go to New York or California. No wonder you saw so many snakes...
there is more than one trail the main tail starts in va and ends in portorford
Oregon
super nice tour...
Yes it was awesome!
Tell me more about your bikes you rode! Year, make, model, displacement, upgrades, etc!!@
Honda XR 650. Apart from a luggage rack and handle bar risers we didnt change anything.
What bike do you recommend? I’ve seen alot of adventure bikes but I’d like to get somthing lighter
im thinking 701, best of both worlds

Peter how often did you have to change your carbs settings?
Only once in the Rockie Mountains due to higher altitude but it would have worked without adjustments. Kristoffer had a malfunctioning Carb from L.A to Moab Where we had a new one shipped. So for a week he struggled with his throttle getting stuck in full Rev.

Nice video. How did you get the gps tracks? I tried to contact this Sam Correro but not luck
Thanks, we got them off GPS-Kevin. He maped his own.
Do a google search for OneManTrail GPX tracks
Awesome trip, Pete!😁 ..do it again!
Thanks Kriller!
