My birthday gift to my daughter, when she turned 16, was her first bike with the proviso that she pass the Basic Riding Course of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) first. I strongly encourage all parents to make participation in the MSF course part of their youngsters' motorcycle learning experience. Thank you for being a great role model for my daughter too, Amanda.
Well, here you see the difference between a TH-camr and a Film-maker. No offense to the many quality TH-camrs, but this is an awesome reportage. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and publishing it Sterling. Greetings from your hometown of Seattle!
mate if i had to pause the video and comment, you would have 1000+ comments. this was the best video that i ever seen, my respect for you to do it alone! well done!
Epic ride and documentary! True, the Mexican people are one of the most hospitables people in the world, based on my experience as well. Thank you Noren...
The Copper Canyon and the Tarahumara people are in the state of Chihuahua. Is also the biggest state of Mexico neighboring Texas. Welcome to my beautiful Chihuahua and it's beautiful people.... 😊
Even today what a great story. I met Coco in April 2017. Was honored to have met the man and humbled beyond belief. Went to Cabo and back on the GSA but not as adventurous as you but did see some off-road. The people were as wonderful and giving then as they were with you. Looking forward to going back once all the Covid is over.
Sterling, this was amazing. As you rode out of Copper Canyon in the last scene, maybe I'm a sentimental old fool, but my eyes were sweating a little. And you prove once again that yes, people around the world, are both friendly and helpful in most cases. And I gain even more respect for you with your demonstration of a soft demeaner con pelotas de acero. Thanks for this.
Thanks Gary - it was a very powerful journey for me. If you are interested, check out my film "Run Free - The True Story of Caballo Blanco" for a follow up on Mich True and the Tarahumara. I went back to the Copper Canyon a few years later to make another movie.
This is special .... I watch a lot of motorcyle video bloggers but there is something about Sterling, and the soul of this solo documentary. I loved it - and the story that arose from the natives and the Ultramarathon was fantastic. Just goes to show you don't need a fully kitted, late edition adventure bike and drones and various Go Pros to convey an adventure :) Well done!
I went back in 2012 and filmed a feature length film about the Tarhumara and the ultra marathon. Its called "Run Free - the True Story of Caballo Blanco" - check it out on Amazon, Vimeo, iTunes, etc.
Big effort glad you found your story as lot of people look for who they are in life find it and lose track of it again. This Covid scene should have all reflecting on where we are in life. But some will miss the chance entirely. Once again congratulations on a well made video.
Awesome movie thanks for sharing! In 99, I drove a truck solo all the way down Baja, and then took the ferry over to the mainland. I spent several weeks in Baja, and really enjoyed it. I ended up meeting my wife in Mazatlan. Then 19 years later, December of 2018, I flew my grandson from Mazatlan to Tijuana, and we road 2 up down to La Paz. Then took the ferry to Mazatlan. We stopped in San Felipe, chatted with Coco, and enjoyed San Ignacio. We mostly took paved roads when we could, but it was a great experience for both of us. I hope your journey can motivate others to get out of their comfort zone and go travel. I loved my solo trip, but if you can find someone to share the journey with, it's even better.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I agree with you thats it more enjoyable with another person or even a few, but solo travel has its own rewards that are untouchable - especially the way it pushes your boundaries and teaches you new things you wouldn't learn with other people.
Having traveled to mulejhe years ago in my RV and now back on a motorcycles I'm inspired to return and do it the way it was shown in this movie thank you so much for your wonderful filming and sharing such a great experience
Great video. Congratulations! I am a Mexican/ American and I lived in Bellevue WA for 7 years. I currently live in Torreon Mexico. My wife and I moved back to Mexico after 911, in 2003. I am a biker lover and have traveled many places in USA and here in Mexico but what you did, is a great story. I am glad more Americans come to see the real Mexico and do not listen to the bad publicity from the news. GO HAWKS!
Dear Sterling. I've seen a lot of your videos. Regarding Filming- Editing- Choise of music, you are by far the best on TH-cam regarding Motorcycles and Traveling. A BIG compliment to your work! Looking forward to more videos :-)
I grew up in north Texas and I actually lived in Marysville Washington for a little over a year. I found it hilarious a guy from Seattle asking what it's like to be a cowboy🤣
Well done Sterling. A real trip done memory lane. I rode in Baja in 2008 been trying to get back ever since. Copper Canyon has always been a dream too. Great to see Micah True as well. Read the book back in 2011
Amazing documentary. Every second of it I cold not take my eyes off the screen. Mexicans are amazing ppl. Americans areas amazing ppl. Thank you for sharing your amazing story.
Wow watched this whole video in just 2 sittings ha. Never realized the elevation there or anything about Copper Canyon. This is beyond moto vlog combining a feature movie of our local amigos in Mexico. Nice Sterling! 🇺🇸💙🇲🇽🌮🌯
Thanks! Glad you had a chance to see it. It was a great opportunity to be there. Check out my other movie "Run Free - The True Story of Caballo Blanco" for a feature length doc. about Micah True I produced a few years later.
one of the main reasons I love light motorcycles! 200 or 250cc does the job beautifully! You dont need bigger engines just huge balls! :D amazing video though! I loved the editing! :)
Where to begin... This is so well done. So inspireing and show's how much is put into making movies like this. Thank you so much for this. Just started out making movies like this myself, in much smaller scale, but the way of telling a story is still the same. So much to learn and show nice to tell stories about the real world, not what the media want to make you belive
Great film Sterling! My be 10 years old but what a great adventure. Now that's what I call a "Back Country Discovery Route!!" My hat's off to you. Thanks for sharing your fantastic adventure!!
Solo bike riding is discovering yourself and unknown places getting new perspective of the world and lifetime memories. Felt like the video should not have ended I will keep it watching
The most daring motorcycle ride on mountain and the most dangerous part of lawless country..........you got a real combination also have the guts......i thought i was crazy.....fantastic brother ...ride safe.
Love Mexico, I hitch hiked from Palenque to Mexico City and never had a minutes problem.Only met the loveliest people. Not sí while I was in the U. S.! Can't wait to BACK to Mexico with a bike.
Fantastic film Sterling. I really wanted to help you pick that bike up. I bet you're glad you've got a drone these days - a camera that films and then comes to you!
Sterling thanks, for your riding most difficult roads in Mexico and sharing with us the Tarahumaras people. The man with two less legs what a beautiful heart ❤️ he has. Our Creator Jehovah see’s all people and he will not forget the love people do out of kindness. Awesome video! ✅👍🏍🌈🌎
I have had a motorcycle and enjoyed riding since my early 20’s but now seeing Sterling’s video today I am inspired and in ahh. This is video you have shared with all of us clearly shows your love sharing and weaving a beautiful place and story. Amazing video that captures so much content, thank you very much.
I've watched a bunch of your stuff, Sterling, and it's all top-notch! This one.....this one is special. I've never spent any time in Mexico so it was very enlightening to see a bit of it from your viewpoint. Thanks again for taking the time to travel, film, edit and post. Your channel stands amongst the best, IMHO. Cheers.
Excellent video about adventure motorcycling and humanity. Sterling's search to prove a powerful theory about the core of the human heart and soul comes to life before your eyes. What a brave and enlightening experience. Thank you Sterling.
I saw this about a year ago and was totally stoked. I came across again and enjoyed it with the same enthusiasm again. It’s has to be one of my favorites videos. Seems like whenever I need inspiration I think of Sterling picking up his bike in the middle of nowhere Mexico and never giving up. You inspire many while giving inspiration knowledge and motivation to attack when the time is right! Happy motoring Sterling and congratulations on your accomplishments working on the BDR films. Cheers mi amigo
Great video. Why you don’t have 1 million likes is beyond me. Watching you pickup up that bike was painful. I give you so much credit for being able to film all of this too. I know its 3 times harder when filming it and having to go back and get your camera gear too. What an adventure. It was great seeing an American and Mexicans so loving of each other. Kind of has renewed my view. You have a new sub here. Loved this.
Truly an incredible adventure documentary. It has not only brought out your deep love for motorcycling but your deeper love for humanity. The portrayal of the marathon is indeed touching.... Great job, thank you very much.
I rode that road south of Puertecitos a year ago (07 KLR 650) A hurricane had washed out much of the new road so it was a mess. Nice lady at the store in Puertecitos. Somehow I missed Coco's. It was cold, windy and getting dark. I'll be back next Spring.
Dam it, Sterling. Now I need to buy an adventure bike and gear. So much for saving cash. LOL That was such a compelling story and well made video. Thanks for sharing. I could've watched 3 more hours of it.
I absolutely will! I live in southern California and I'm an avid motorcycle rider for 20+ years. I've been aching to get into the adventure riding.....maybe next trip I can join. :) Thanks for the next video....cold beer and the movie later today will be perfect.
Thank you Sterling for making this video I´ve learned a lot more from it than with the very little information we have about it right here in Mexico, I specially thank you for being honest with your experience about Mexicans which is so bad in the USA because the only thing the media talks is about what´s wrong, but as you know this is true of all countries, I mean good and bad people.
I loved watching this. Riding solo and film it all like you do must be very hard and it demands so much patience, but you did a great job. The part about the long distance race was fantastic, thanks 😊
Hats off to that motivation to ride solo for extended timelines and the perseverance to fight the odds in filming in this manner. A great film indeed. 🤗👍🏻
....Add this one to the "Bucket List" For Sure!!! This was Amazing to watch, your interaction with the people, the roads (if you can call them that), your journey was an amazing adventure that had me on the edge of my seat at times(no punn intended!!), them cliffs!!!! This made my evening to watch this!! Keeps doing these vid's man,,, I truly was in amazement of your work!!!! Just WOW':D ME MAN!!!!! & I just sent it two a couple of friends, its well worth the share and the watch!!!
This Story was like treasure hunt... And even more existing because in the beginning Goal of the journey was completely unknown... But eventually it turned into something Inspirational in every aspect..! Salute to Your efforts and hardwork..! This is what we truly call "A Adventure Motorcycle Trip"👌👌👌 Love from India.👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this wonderfull story with us! The real people are the story and we should appreciate people's friendship. Also big compliments for your effort on filming alone and riding...it's amazing. Greetings from Romania!
We rode thru most of the same area. The palapas at San Francisquito we’re thrashed in a hurricane a couple years ago. Fortunately we got one with a roof and the views are amazing. Always great to see Coco on our journeys. Man is a legend. And rice ‘n beans. Mmmmmm
I can't describe how good this video made me feel. I drove from Vera Cruz to Puerto Escondido via Oaxaca last year. Truly amazing!! Happy memories!! Viva Mexico!!!!
This is without a doubt a great work of yours. It's not only about the trip and the scenarios, but most important about the people. You capture that essence very well, besides the great angles you choose to film the video. Thank you for sharing this with all of us! One of my favourite videos on TH-cam
You were never alone because i'm sure everyone of your viewers felt what i felt and that is ' you made me feel like i was along the journey with you! ' thank you sir, subbed. Awesome content and editing job!
Well done, we took a Eurovan westy, through that route many years ago. Everyone said there was no roads and they were almost right.! A fabulous experience through some of the most amazing people and terrain in North America!
Motorcycle Travel Channel so are we, funny how most people are afraid to leave the tourist areas. Every travel book we read we did the opposite and it worked great. Depends a lot on your attitude I think. We’re in BC
Filming yourself is an INCREDIBLE amount of work, in addition to dealing with rugged terrain on a motorcycle, camping and just travelling in new places. Your video is also really well made and very enjoyable. You definitely need more views. Please every body, give Sterling a "like"! Share his video!
Te felicito por tu ardua labor y la determinación de completar esta aventura a traves de una porción del Norte de México y mostrarle el mundo quien en realidad somos l9s Mexicanos. Good job Sterling!!!
What a fantastic video, I truly appreciate the hard work you put into it. It showed me things about Mexico that are truly beautiful and to see how kind the people are is so heartwarming. I'm a motorcycle enthusiast myself and would absolutely love to do some adventure riding like that. Take care
By way way far BETTER than other vids and channels , my passion, bikes and country music!…. Ennio Marricone metal horse!…. Good job Amigo, WELCOME TO FRIENDLY LAND OF MEXICO!.
One of if not the best adventure riding documentary I've seen. Such rich and powerful stories discovered along your journey. I'm hoping to do a similar thing in my country before I get too old to do so. It would be really helpful to know some of the technical specs in terms of cost time and distance as well. Also in terms of how you prepared, what you took with or what you wish you left behind.
Amazing! This is how we need to influence the rest of the world! We stand to learn so much from other countries and cultures...much love to the Tarahumaras.
Man Alive!! I’ve just completed the Panamerica from Alaska to Ushuaia and it was wonderful to watch this and have all those memories flood back!! By far one of the best mini documentaries I’ve watched of overlander travel. Well done sir 👍
From one Seattle shooter to another.....kudos! Oh, I ride also. @11:40......Nirvana. HOW it's supposed to be done. @25:20.....I thought the vlogger Pedro Moto was crazy for routes, but dude.....YOU win!

Mr. Solitude solid advice !
@@SterlingNoren Sorry. My comment was misplaced here. Meant for another moto TH-camr. But I'm thrilled I found your channel. :)
The best Baja documentary ever made by a biker, had to come from you...
😂
Well, here you see the difference between a TH-camr and a Film-maker. No offense to the many quality TH-camrs, but this is an awesome reportage.
Thank you for taking the time to put it together and publishing it Sterling. Greetings from your hometown of Seattle!
Thanks a lot!
Sterling is awesome as always!! Thanks for taking us on your journeys!!
mate if i had to pause the video and comment, you would have 1000+ comments. this was the best video that i ever seen, my respect for you to do it alone! well done!
why anyone would dislike this video is beyond me
Jealously
Epic ride and documentary!
True, the Mexican people are one of the most hospitables people in the world, based on my experience as well.
Thank you Noren...
Sterling, I can’t put my finger on it...but you’re like a bad ass Mr. Rogers. There is something comforting about your style of story telling.
🤢
The Copper Canyon and the Tarahumara people are in the state of Chihuahua. Is also the biggest state of Mexico neighboring Texas. Welcome to my beautiful Chihuahua and it's beautiful people.... 😊

WHAT A GREAT RIDE !!! Well done, Man, from a fellow motorcycle rider. Texas
that ultramarathon scene brought tears to my eyes. Nothing but respect for the locals
Thats how I felt too :-)
It is such an inspirational story of courage, hope, and adventure. Well done Sterling.

This needs to be seen by a lot of people. Wonderful job.
its great to see US and Mexican people behave like true neighbours, a see a lot of love. great video, great ending.
I live on the Border, there is a huge difference especially on your skin tone
oh yeah he had money, but I live in the Texas not the west coast.
Jamey Craig - ROTFLMSAO!🤣
Well done Sterling. A real trip done memory lane. I rode in Baja in 2008 been trying to get back ever since. Copper Canyon has always been a dream too. Great to see Micah True as well. Read the book back in 2011
What a great film. So real and reminded me of a Sergio Leon film.
Amazing documentary. Every second of it I cold not take my eyes off the screen. Mexicans are amazing ppl. Americans areas amazing ppl. Thank you for sharing your amazing story.
Thanks for watching the movie!
Absolutely one of the best motorcycle videos ever seen on TH-cam really appreciate thanks so much
Thanks you for such a kind comment. Ride well!

Beautiful journey,as a Mexican I didn’t even know much about the raramuries,thanks
Your 1200 GS is a fine bike. I’ve owned a couple of them. I never felt I needed the R 1250. Good video. 👍🏻👍🏻
What a great video and story! As a long time ultramarathon runner was pleasantly surprised to see it ending with the legendary copper canyon ultra.
Thanks! Glad you had a chance to see it. It was a great opportunity to be there. Check out my other movie "Run Free - The True Story of Caballo Blanco" for a feature length doc. about Micah True I produced a few years later.

Very well done. Hope our paths cross again sometime.
Hats off to that motivation to ride solo for extended timelines and the perseverance to fight the odds in filming in this manner. A great film indeed. 🤗👍🏻
Great video. There's a lesson there for all of us in the winner recognising the achievements of the third placed man and giving him his prizes.

Thanks!! Say hell to Romania for me. Would love to visit there someday!
@@SterlingNoren You would have lots of stories to film and to experience if you come here. I will gladly be your guide 😁

I can't describe how good this video made me feel. I drove from Vera Cruz to Puerto Escondido via Oaxaca last year. Truly amazing!! Happy memories!!
Viva Mexico!!!!
Epic ride, congrats! You've outdone yourself, seen gorgeous landscapes, met fantastic people and told us all a beautiful story - thanks so much!
Thanks a ton!
Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure. 24:30 I could feel your back actually breaking, great job!👍👍
Giving the price away was a humble move!!
Respect to this gentleman!!

This is without a doubt a great work of yours. It's not only about the trip and the scenarios, but most important about the people. You capture that essence very well, besides the great angles you choose to film the video. Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
One of my favourite videos on TH-cam
13:21 coco is the man. He said "bullshit, I'm coming back out here." This man is a true hero. 😂👍
One of the rare gems on youtube. Thank you.
What a wonderful style of story telling.

What an adventure
Me encanta México! Buen documental
Enjoyed the journey...story well told and documented you’re a great inspiration to get off the couch and have an adventure. Thank you!
What a fantastic video, I truly appreciate the hard work you put into it. It showed me things about Mexico that are truly beautiful and to see how kind the people are is so heartwarming. I'm a motorcycle enthusiast myself and would absolutely love to do some adventure riding like that. Take care
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great story and a beautiful film. Having done some short videos, I
Thanks a ton! I appreciate your comment.
By way way far BETTER than other vids and channels , my passion, bikes and country music!…. Ennio Marricone metal horse!…. Good job Amigo, WELCOME TO FRIENDLY LAND OF MEXICO!.
One of if not the best adventure riding documentary I've seen. Such rich and powerful stories discovered along your journey. I'm hoping to do a similar thing in my country before I get too old to do so. It would be really helpful to know some of the technical specs in terms of cost time and distance as well. Also in terms of how you prepared, what you took with or what you wish you left behind.
Great documentary, perfect narrating, music and photagraphing.
Amazing! This is how we need to influence the rest of the world! We stand to learn so much from other countries and cultures...much love to the Tarahumaras.
Impossível um cara desse ter tão pouca repercussão!
Man Alive!! I’ve just completed the Panamerica from Alaska to Ushuaia and it was wonderful to watch this and have all those memories flood back!! By far one of the best mini documentaries I’ve watched of overlander travel. Well done sir 👍
What a journey and what an amazing story. This is the most interesting and absorbing upload I have seen so far. Thank you and stay safe.
My first "solo" video, it meant a lot to me!

Fantastic film, even when it was recorded in 2009, it only lacks subtitles in Spanish. Greetings from Yucatan, Mexico.
From one Seattle shooter to another.....kudos! Oh, I ride also.
