Gunny is just lucky so far. I just smile at the don’t quit and you won’t get old crowd. Sooner or later age, health, or injuries, catch up with everyone. Always remember, no one gets out alive and unscathed, no one. It’s not that big of a deal, just don’t let it catch you off guard. I’m 67, with congestive heart failure. Cardiologist gives me 2-4 years. Had to give up the bicycle after a lifetime of racing and riding, probably nearly 200,000 miles, but I rode my new motorcycle over 22,000 miles in the last year. Could tell on the last trip I’m close to giving up the motorcycle. No depression or despair, I have 3 wonderful adult children, and a terrific wife. It’s all been a good ride :) P.S. I’ve been on some of the same roads in the last year 👍
I understand man. We’ll I understand your words, but I won’t know yet till I get there. You prob have a lifetime of memories to look back on and think of fondly. I guess only you know when it’s gonna be your last ride. I wish you all the best!
Wishing you the best man. Hope you’re well. My grandma made it to 82 years having had congestive heart issues when she was in her 60’s. Best wishes in any case.
I've done an 8000 "miler", from Atlanta up to Glacier National, Seattle, down to L.A., and back through the desert southwest. On a motorcycle is the only way to get to know this lady called America. When you breathe air from 19 states in three weeks, and sleep under the stars, you fall in love with a two wheeled life.
That’s fuckin insane!!! That’s what I want to do in the future. Explore British Columbia and up into Alaska. Gotta work out the kinks now with gear etc.
Doing my first cross country ride in Sept. Almost 60 yrs old but motorcycle trips feeds the soul. Makes us more human, thankful, and rediscover our true self!
I watch a lot of motorcycle videos. This was absolutely phenomenal. What a ride and captured so many moments. From the mountains to the plains. I appreciate it
@@nooowhere_mann4848just found your video..took me away to my youth for awhile, the absolute joy and freedom I felt while watching was a magical gift and I forgot my age and old body, and remembered all the best times in my life. Thank you so much.
Great video brother !!! I’m 70 yrs old, and still doing long rides. I’m in Texas and have made runs to California, and New York , but never all the way across like you just did. Much respect… and continued safe travels.
This is, without a doubt, the most breathtaking video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam showcasing the beauty of this great nation, the United States of America. Your journey from San Diego to California, through Colorado and beyond, captures some of the most stunning landscapes I’ve ever laid eyes on. The way you’ve managed to tell this story with just one camera is nothing short of masterful. The tranquility, freedom, and sheer majesty of these sights are inspiring, and your dedication to documenting every moment-from the travels to the editing-is deeply appreciated. Watching this has ignited a desire in me to take this very route someday and experience these places for myself. I pray that God blesses me with the opportunity to make this dream a reality. Thank you for every second of effort you poured into this video. It’s not just a ride-it’s a true work of art and inspiration. One of the greatest things a person can accomplish is to find peace and adventure on the open road, and you’ve shown just how extraordinary that can be. Bravo!
14:15 "Gunny" sure knows what he's talkin about... Man, the song after that bit was freakin perfect! And the rest of them! Dude, hope you are somewhere out there, doing your thing, living life as you want it. Stay strong, ride on!
I'll be riding cross country again next month alone. Truly the best way to travel. Every miles an adventure. USA is the most beautiful country on earth.
Dude ... Just awesome thank you for the effort to put this out. I'm 63 and heading out (running away from home) in the morning on my bike. I will check out some of the places in the SW here that you went through. Thank you for listing the towns and roads. We are not so different my friend ... peace out as you kids say ... Haha.
I appreciate it man! I’m currently in a ship in Vancouver Washington. Life isn’t getting In the way but I know I have to sit down and make the time to edit the other 2/3 of my last cross country trip. Thank you for your support!
Beautiful video. Loved the music selection too, really complimented the riding and the scenery. Appreciate the little pauses where you talked about things that stood out to you, keep it up!
Great video I have been to most of those places on my bike and really appreciate you riding the back roads and visiting the national parks. I was good to see the old Million Dollar Hwy again, Again great video.
Philosophical reflections: Great rides JT. I'm 60 now and have been roaming around the US on HD touring bikes since the late 90's. One of my favorite trips was Vegas to Sturgis (went 10 years in a row with pals), then from Sturgis to the top of Maine just for fun. A little town called Fort Kent on the Canadien border. Me and my buddy had breakfast at a little joint across the street from the international point of entry to Canada then road home to Vegas. I have been on all those open roads in the west that you rode going home to NY. The west is beautiful. After well over 200k miles on the highway I can tell you that being on the bike for days at a time straightens your head out. On the road is where I have done my best thinking. Keep riding JT. It's a way of life.
I appreciate the self reflection. That’s what I’ve gathered from being on the road. There’s such a peace and serenity about just getting out there and going. I hope I live to see 60, man the stories I’d have at that point. I’ll make sure to check out Fort Kent.🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@nooowhere_mann4848 Twist JT, born & raised in Vegas and having roamed all over the west, and being retired now, my wife and I are moving to Florida within the next year. I will miss the wide open west but I’m looking forward to the new adventure over living on the east side of the US. Got a new 2020 RKS and she’s dialed and ready to roll.
@@allwrong3114 that’s what’s up! Hey man cheers to the next chapter! Stay up and stay happy. You can take the rider out of the west but u can’t take the west out of the rider. Such a deep rooted appreciation for the vastness of the open road.
I was riding my bike to Madawaska, Maine, and another biker flagged me down. I pulled over, and he was doing to four corner points in The United States. One was Madawaska, ME where one of the statues sits. He didn't go as far as Fort Kent. I'd love to be able to be able to do that. Too bad I'm dealing mostly with medical issues. I still have a VTX1300 though I don't ride very much due to medical issues. 3 major surgeries in the past 3 years, and one was for a Liver Transplant. I have one more operation to go, and I hope I can take a trip somewhere. I have all my camping gear, but too damn weak to do anything right now. Live to ride! Ride to live!
Of course, I want to visit Rhode Island more too as well as Massachusetts. My direct ancestor was on The Mayflower, and his father was The Last Protestant Martyr during The European Persecutions during The Protestant Reformation Era since the First Protestant Martyr John Rogers (John Rogers/ Christianity Dot). Oh...they were the reasons why Roger Williams *University came out with The Separation of Church & State that years later transcended down into our U.S. 1st Amendment between The Danbury Baptist Association & Thomas Jefferson in 1802-3. Rev. Edward Wightman's son, John Wightman a.k.a. Johannis Wightman had a son, Rev. George Wightman had sons named Rev. John Wightman & Rev. Valerntine Wightman (Valentine buried in The Wightman Cemetery in Groton, CT). Valentine married Susannah Holmes, daughter of Mary Holmes, daughter of Mary Sayles, daughter of Roger Williams *University (History Dot Com). Susannah Holmes also fell under Obadiah Holmes. (Obadiah Holmes / Christianity Dot Com). Oh...The Protestant Reformation (National Geographic) took place after Pope Leo X's corruption in 1514 which led to Martin Luther's 95 Theses who was the first to translate The New Testament into German. Of course, William Tyndale, around that same time, was the first to translate The New Testament into English from Greek (Latin). William Tyndale's New Testament became The King James Version of The New Testament who was also burned at the stake in 1536. Same year that King Henry The VIII's 2nd wife was executed by King Henry The VIII, Anne Boleyn. Of course, King Henry The VIII turned against Pope Clemens VII & also executed Catholic Monks known as The Carthusian Martyrs of London while he founded The Church of England (Protestant due to Anne Boleyn). National Geographic also has a good article on Anne Boleyn, but they don't mention The Carthusian Martyrs of London or George Boleyn as The Tudor Society out of London mentions today. Of course, their society is based on Mary Tudor also known as Queen Mary The 1st. She had John Rogers burned at the stake in 1555 by Queen Mary 1st's order after King Henry The VIII died in January of 1547. John Rogers was the first of many Protestant Martyrs to follow which led to the time of The European Persecutions (*U.S. Library of Congress: America as a Refuge - The Seventeenth Century Part I). Of course, King James The II was removed before The American Revolution & replaced by Prince William or Orange also known as Prince William The III when Edward Cook (New World Encyclopedia) came out with The Parliament Bill of Rights. The European Persecutions also led to The Great Puritan Migration under "English Minister John Smyth" (New World Encyclopedia) whose followers Puritans, set out to convince other Puritans & Protestants of forming a Pilgrimage before he died in 1612 in Amsterdam. Oh...Pilgrims gathered there as well as in Holland, 40 miles away before boarding The Mayflower in Scrooby, England late in September of 1620 due to repairs needed to The Mayflower.
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen. Watched a lot w 50+ years in the wind. You seem to have captured it well. Thanks for sharing with us.
I dreamed it once too. My fathers a dreamer, I’m a doer. Sometimes dreams have to be transformed. And the best person to help you is the man in the mirror.
This is exactly what I wish for my first road trip on my new Harley. Georgous views and lots of open roads to ride on by myself. I really enjoy watching. You have a great way to share how it could be awesome to ride. Thank you❤
Those views are amazing. My wife and I are planning a trip from Long Island to San Diego in July and videos like this get me even more pumped for the trip. Thanks for sharing.
We sure did, we had a great time doing it too! Granted we drove it in a Silverado, so nothing but respect to you for doing it on a motorcycle! I’m hoping next year we can make the trip again and see some of the states we missed.
My buddies and I will be doing a cross country ride this June. I'm looking forward to rolling my RG through some of the same country on the way to California. Subscribed.
Really enjoyed this, showcases the vastness and diversity of landscape that America appears to offer (never been there myself) Also as others have already stated soundtrack was spot on.👍
One of the best cross country Vids out there, music and editing were 10/10. First watched a year ago and again today. I live on the Canadian Prairies and it helped inspire me to take a 16 day bike trip of my own last June thru the American SW; Utah, AZ, NV. Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon. Some of the most beautiful country in the world!
I feel like I'm experiencing life with your filter applied and I'm digging it. The views, the music, the thoughts and experiences shared. Inspiring brother.
I appreciate that man! All the riding I’ve done has brought me so much insight to the depth of my being. What I value, who I love, where I want my life to go. People who don’t ride don’t know. Those who do, know how quiet it is in that helmet and how many thoughts float by. More to come man🤘🏻
Bro... awesome, so awesome! Your soundtrack goes so perfect. Thanks for taking me along. I leave the bay area in California headed to NYC and back. 7 months till I get to take off on this adventure. Can't wait. Till then, I just watch your videos. Just subscribed
Dude, I went from dago to colorado springs last year. your video gave me the inspiration to do it, we shared most of the same stops. I went through panguitch too, thanks for the inspiration to do my first 2200 miles trip.
Wow such a beautiful camera and beautiful bike I need to save for a new bike so I can go do this like you.. my 1997 royal star is parked cuz my radiator drain plug broke. Hopefully when I get it fixed she will not break anymore.. I’ll also change oil and drive shaft oil. But on plus side since my bike been parked I been saving money.
Absolutely EPIC! Instant sub! Like another commenter, I have watched tens of hours of motorcycle videos. This one and your trip out to CA are BY FAR the best I've seen. In addition to having what I assume is a solid titanium ass, your filming, narration, editing, music selection, is well above 98% of the drivel on YT. Very real, very grounded. I have SO MANY questions but will hold for now and just stay in the moment of enjoyment as I watch this for the 3rd time. Maybe we'll cross path on a Blue Highway. If so, 1st and 2nd cold one is on me.
I don’t even have words man. I didn’t think people would enjoy these videos this much. I really appreciate you guys, it makes riding that much more enjoyable knowing there’s people out there that appreciate what you do.
@@nooowhere_mann4848 yup, i need to add, this video was fantastic! someone also mentioned the music, i agree also, great riding tunes, great views, especially Utah, Colorado. thanks again.
i bought a 1984 honda sabre in alaska in 2018, rode it to california that fall (started the bike in 28*s for the first few days).. had no idea what I was getting into.. ended up crossing the country and canada 5 more times and living/camping off my bike for years. Filling up on aesthetics, meeting great people, hiking all over the west.. Keep it up bro, see you out there
@@nooowhere_mann4848 thx for the reply man, hope youre living well.. when I do my next big trip I'll try and ask you for some recording tips to document it
I had to pause and comment. I've only made it to where you are riding through my home state of Colorado but I appreciate the fact that you are taking state highways and avoiding the interstates. And your choice of music and editing is outstanding. Thanks for sharing your trip.
That Eddie Vedder song is my jam!!. What's up from Western NC. Living vicariously through your video while I should be working. Haha. Can't wait to do some long rides soon. ✌️
@@joejones3469 no way man! “Gettin old is just something people say when they’re done livin”. I’d you have any questions ask. Or I can make a video about what gear I’ve used. I have an easy setup. Anyone can do what I do!
Excellent video, brother. I've always said "You can only be young once but you can be immature forever!" I'm closer to my 60th birthday than my 59th and I'm about to take off from Michigan to California (North end) ride the PCH down south of LA then loop through Death Valley and make my way home from there, hitting some more sights along the way. Thanks for sharing your trip, man. Keep the rubber side down!
I just want to say thank you. This video is amazing. I’ve been laid up and unable to ride. This was perfect, I felt like I was on those roads. Very well done.
Enjoyed the video but it was probably even better living it and riding it!! Couldn’t imagine in person but i sure as hell plan on doing some long rides thanks for the inspiration
I appreciate it man! The only way to experience it for yourself is to get on a bike and do it. I encourage everyone to venture out of their comfort zones and take the challenge of finding who you are.
Nice job, good videos,....you are blessed to have such a thrilling opportunity...sure you thank God for the views you get to see that alot of us only watch on a computer screen...
@@nooowhere_mann4848 No problem! If you get a chance, could you do a travel/camping tip and gear breakdown video? Your set up seems very close to what my ideal setup would be. I can't wait to see more content from you😁
@@recontiger7114 Hell yeah! I'm in the process of moving right now but once I'm settled in ill put something together. Just uploaded a video about 30 mins ago, still waiting on it to render.
Hey dude that was one hell of a good video, your sound track blended in beautifully with your videos content. Keep up the good work and ride safe my friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great vid. Ouray, Colorado, wow. Been through there twice in my life. In June, 1983, driving oil field equipment southbound. Then in July, 2018, riding an Indian Chief northbound with my wife who I married in November, 1983. Thanks
Great job with the camera work. I am in New Mexico but love scooting up to The east side of Utah and Colorado. I get up to both places as much as I can. Usual solo. Great way to unwind. And I totally agree with the Gunny’s philosophy on life. I’m 62 and feel and act like I’m still in my 40’s. Life is too short not to enjoy it fully.
Absolutley man! I appreciate it! Workin on the next one. I’m only 24 but I feel like I’ll have this appreciation and outlook till the end. Idk I’ll let you guys know if anything changes Hahahha
UPDATE: just scooted up to Moab, Arches NP, then over to Colorado in September. Epic riding as always. Colorado River Scenic Byway 128 out of Moab was incredible.
I just found your channel. Fukn awesome! I live in Wyoming. I rode out to the Pacific Northwest and back, back in 2002. Great ride! Have ridden to the East Coast a couple times, hit Rolling Thunder in DC. (That was amazing!!) But not near enough sight seeing. Just quick there and back. My body no longer likes being on the bike for very long at a time, but still might try one more, before I go, and see how IT goes. RIDE ON
I live in the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area. I wasn’t expecting you to go through such a random small town lol I crossed that bridge probably 100 times
Sweet!! I wish I could’ve been on the back but I would’ve messed you up w bathroom breaks. Lol. This needs to be a PBS documentary. I work in public tv so I would know. Just beautiful. Crazy beautiful. So much more road ahead of you. Me & my dog r going Cleveland to Portland. OR soon for school in my Yaris!! 💋🇺🇸♥️🙋♀️
Getting me pumped for an upcoming trip on my new to me 2014 street glide with two life long brothers. As soon as the PJ started playing i hit the subscribe button! Thanks for putting in the work
This video was very well produced and the soundtrack was awesome! I know exactly what you mean by not taking the pictures was like not being there..I did a solo 9960 miler from NJ during August and September of this year, and she pressured me every day for the family blog. But it was all good. Family and friends said I'm crazy , at age 62. But then there are others that said I'm fuckin badass!! I prefer the second!! What started off as a Sturgis ride grew by miles!!! I need to check out your other videos and subscribe, especially if your talking Alaska. Ride on buddy......
Will do man! Thank you again! Once I stopped seeking the affirmation of the people closest to me, my life began. Alaska is going to have be planned very well and something I don’t want to rush. When I go, you’ll see it here🤘🏻
The video was great, as was the soundtrack. Your the first one, I’ve heard use “Prisoners”, in fifty years. It’s a favorite of mine. Eddie Vedder’s, “HardSun”, also lit memories. I rode most of your route and enjoyed revisiting it with you. It makes one appreciate what a beautiful country we have. 👍
I appreciate it man! I feel like kids my age are going one way and I’m headed the other way. Rediscovering music from my parents generation and sooner. The music tells stories and paints pictures in my mind. Do you have any road recommendations?
Out’Fing’Standing ! Very well done video, the music was matched perfect. As a fellow motorcyclist I know others will appreciate it. Folks that don’t ride- don’t get it. Ride safe bro, I’ll see you out there.
I pride myself just loving all brands of bikes. But, it is just something different experiencing the country on a Harley Davidson. Love this video bro.
Wow Dude.... this is great I would love to be able to do this one day, but I am a single dad, and my son is about to be 17 in December, but I'll be 50 soon so my time to be doing this stuff is running out and I got a full-time job and a child to take care of so it's going to have to wait a while. Respect though man, winter in the mountains of Colorado on a bike ain't no joke though and I know with the proper gear its posable and looks like you have the proper gear but still like I said it ain't no joke. Peace and safe travels.
I appreciate it man! Take it from me, a son. All the time you give your boy hell remember long after your gone. All the the good and bad, hell remember it all. Leading with love and understanding will go so far. Once he can stand on his own feet, you'll have more time to do you. Till then, its a lot of leading by example. "Preach everyday and sometimes use words". Good luck with everything, you got this!
Thanks I needed this... some familiar roads on your ride. Last year I did a 39 day ride, this year, local only (not getting old, the P's are) man I enjoyed your ride!
Great video and soundtrack. Me and my girl burned up 600 miles this past weekend going to the beach. Gonna be a great summer of riding good Lord willing
@@nooowhere_mann4848 haven't heard of that one so I looked it up. Sounds like a party to attend. Another big one will be the Myrtle beach rally and then in June a big one at Rockingham dragway with AHDRA drag racing and a big party Iike the smoke out was. You might see me at the pig pickin. It's only a couple hundred miles from me. On that chopcult site check out the add for Mayhem at Midway. That's me on the bottom right with a keg strapped on back of my shovel. Lol

William Tyndale's New Testament became The King James Version of The New Testament who was also burned at the stake in 1536. Same year that King Henry The VIII's 2nd wife was executed by King Henry The VIII, Anne Boleyn. Of course, King Henry The VIII turned against Pope Clemens VII & also executed Catholic Monks known as The Carthusian Martyrs of London while he founded The Church of England (Protestant due to Anne Boleyn). National Geographic also has a good article on Anne Boleyn, but they don't mention The Carthusian Martyrs of London or George Boleyn as The Tudor Society out of London mentions today. Of course, their society is based on Mary Tudor also known as Queen Mary The 1st. She had John Rogers burned at the stake in 1555 by Queen Mary 1st's order after King Henry The VIII died in January of 1547. John Rogers was the first of many Protestant Martyrs to follow which led to the time of The European Persecutions (*U.S. Library of Congress: America as a Refuge - The Seventeenth Century Part I). Of course, King James The II was removed before The American Revolution & replaced by Prince William or Orange also known as Prince William The III when Edward Cook (New World Encyclopedia) came out with The Parliament Bill of Rights. The European Persecutions also led to The Great Puritan Migration under "English Minister John Smyth" (New World Encyclopedia) whose followers Puritans, set out to convince other Puritans & Protestants of forming a Pilgrimage before he died in 1612 in Amsterdam. Oh...Pilgrims gathered there as well as in Holland, 40 miles away before boarding The Mayflower in Scrooby, England late in September of 1620 due to repairs needed to The Mayflower.
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen. Watched a lot w 50+ years in the wind. You seem to have captured it well. Thanks for sharing with us.
I appreciate your words! If you have any pointers throw them my way!
@@nooowhere_mann4848 just enjoy the journey and the ones you meet along the way and never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.
Huge fan of the song choices. I think it really captures the essence of a road trip like that
I appreciate it! Music is everything on a long ride. Gotta find songs that capture the emotion and story being told!
Incredible journey , one I can only dream of experiencing ... thanks for sharing .
I dreamed it once too. My fathers a dreamer, I’m a doer. Sometimes dreams have to be transformed. And the best person to help you is the man in the mirror.
This is exactly what I wish for my first road trip on my new Harley. Georgous views and lots of open roads to ride on by myself. I really enjoy watching. You have a great way to share how it could be awesome to ride. Thank you❤
I appreciate it! Stay up and enjoy those open roads.
Just came across this one. What an awesome adventure this documents. The clips, music, everything. Well done, rider....well done.
@@dougpowell7046 thank you man! I appreciate it!
Those views are amazing. My wife and I are planning a trip from Long Island to San Diego in July and videos like this get me even more pumped for the trip. Thanks for sharing.
Dude thank you! I apologize for getting back to you so late. Did you guys make the trip?
We sure did, we had a great time doing it too!
Granted we drove it in a Silverado, so nothing but respect to you for doing it on a motorcycle!
I’m hoping next year we can make the trip again and see some of the states we missed.
Recognized the Greta Van Fleet song, immediately smashed like. Then saw those landscape shots and felt bad I couldn't like twice!
I appreciate it man, next ride is comin in March!
My buddies and I will be doing a cross country ride this June. I'm looking forward to rolling my RG through some of the same country on the way to California. Subscribed.
@@danielhilley4818 hell yeah! If you out out a video I’ll be sure to check it out. Or if I ride through your area to grab a beer!
Yes--Great Greta Van Fleet song for the intro!
Epic ride man!! Hope I can do this someday. What a beautiful country we live in ♥️
Really enjoyed this, showcases the vastness and diversity of landscape that America appears to offer (never been there myself) Also as others have already stated soundtrack was spot on.👍
One of the best cross country Vids out there, music and editing were 10/10. First watched a year ago and again today. I live on the Canadian Prairies and it helped inspire me to take a 16 day bike trip of my own last June thru the American SW; Utah, AZ, NV. Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon. Some of the most beautiful country in the world!
Dude! Hell yes! I appreciate your words and I’m happy to know it inspired you to do the same. I apologize for getting back to you so late!
Inspiring. Makes me think about my life, what’s good, what I need to do and what’s not serving me
I appreciate it man! Hell yeah! Get out there and clear your mind. Motorcycle meditation is the truth!
Beautiful scenery. Would love to ride some of these roads myself one day.
Man I miss my bike now. Won't see her again until March at the earliest :(
I feel like I'm experiencing life with your filter applied and I'm digging it. The views, the music, the thoughts and experiences shared. Inspiring brother.
I appreciate that man! All the riding I’ve done has brought me so much insight to the depth of my being. What I value, who I love, where I want my life to go. People who don’t ride don’t know. Those who do, know how quiet it is in that helmet and how many thoughts float by. More to come man🤘🏻
My daughter lives in norwood co planning to ride my bike out there next year from Michigan. Thanks for the video I'll be 62 Thanks gunny
Hell yeah man ride safe!
Great video, many places on my bucket list. The soundtrack is just killer. Kudos...
I appreciate that man! Trying to capture the moment with the music
Wow awesome video! I purchased a 2023 RG hopefully make a long trip soon.🤘🏻👽🤘🏻
The road trip is incredible, but the editing and quality of this entire video is phenomenal. Well done.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and following the journey!
Thank you for sharing your riding across the country adventure I bet it was good for your soul love it.
Bro... awesome, so awesome! Your soundtrack goes so perfect. Thanks for taking me along. I leave the bay area in California headed to NYC and back. 7 months till I get to take off on this adventure. Can't wait. Till then, I just watch your videos. Just subscribed
Dude, I went from dago to colorado springs last year. your video gave me the inspiration to do it, we shared most of the same stops. I went through panguitch too, thanks for the inspiration to do my first 2200 miles trip.
Hell yeah man that's awesome to hear! Never thought a video would bring some much love. You guys are awesome!
Wow such a beautiful camera and beautiful bike I need to save for a new bike so I can go do this like you.. my 1997 royal star is parked cuz my radiator drain plug broke. Hopefully when I get it fixed she will not break anymore.. I’ll also change oil and drive shaft oil. But on plus side since my bike been parked I been saving money.
What a great Journey. well done video with great music. This is a dream ride for me and my son to do together.
I appreciate it man! I wish you and your son all the best when it comes around! Stay safe out there!
Absolutely EPIC! Instant sub!
Like another commenter, I have watched tens of hours of motorcycle videos. This one and your trip out to CA are BY FAR the best I've seen. In addition to having what I assume is a solid titanium ass, your filming, narration, editing, music selection, is well above 98% of the drivel on YT. Very real, very grounded.
I have SO MANY questions but will hold for now and just stay in the moment of enjoyment as I watch this for the 3rd time.
Maybe we'll cross path on a Blue Highway. If so, 1st and 2nd cold one is on me.
I don’t even have words man. I didn’t think people would enjoy these videos this much. I really appreciate you guys, it makes riding that much more enjoyable knowing there’s people out there that appreciate what you do.
@@nooowhere_mann4848 yup, i need to add, this video was fantastic! someone also mentioned the music, i agree also, great riding tunes, great views, especially Utah, Colorado. thanks again.
dude this was so well done man the edits the music the story loved it new sun bro 🤘🏽
sub ****
I appreciate it man! Next one is comin out soon
i bought a 1984 honda sabre in alaska in 2018, rode it to california that fall (started the bike in 28*s for the first few days).. had no idea what I was getting into.. ended up crossing the country and canada 5 more times and living/camping off my bike for years. Filling up on aesthetics, meeting great people, hiking all over the west.. Keep it up bro, see you out there
Hell yeah man that is epic! Haven't even touched Canada but so much beautiful riding up there as well!
@@nooowhere_mann4848 thx for the reply man, hope youre living well.. when I do my next big trip I'll try and ask you for some recording tips to document it
@@thewoodsman003 fire away. I'll try and help yah out in anyway I can
@@nooowhere_mann4848 thank you bro ! I'll be in touch, be well
What a great vid love the vibe. You got to ride some amazing roads, such a cool trip.
Preciate it man!
I had to pause and comment. I've only made it to where you are riding through my home state of Colorado but I appreciate the fact that you are taking state highways and avoiding the interstates. And your choice of music and editing is outstanding. Thanks for sharing your trip.
I appreciate that man! The interstates are always crowded, I enjoy the scenic routes and detours.
Magnificent scenery.
So much inspiration here. Thanks my dude.
Preciate it man! Anytime!
That Eddie Vedder song is my jam!!. What's up from Western NC. Living vicariously through your video while I should be working. Haha. Can't wait to do some long rides soon. ✌️
Hell yeah man! Get out here when you can!
I have watched a lot of cross country trips. I think this is the best.
I appreciate that man! Im looking forward to finishing my next one!
I wish I was younger. I think it is too late for me.
@@joejones3469 no way man! “Gettin old is just something people say when they’re done livin”. I’d you have any questions ask. Or I can make a video about what gear I’ve used. I have an easy setup. Anyone can do what I do!
I am 67. But I still ride my Harley. My dream ride is too ride across coast to coast go out west and see all the old west towns.
And camp most of the way.
One of the best videos out.. killer music.. rad shots of the way
I appreciate it man! Thanks for following along.
Excellent video, brother. I've always said "You can only be young once but you can be immature forever!" I'm closer to my 60th birthday than my 59th and I'm about to take off from Michigan to California (North end) ride the PCH down south of LA then loop through Death Valley and make my way home from there, hitting some more sights along the way. Thanks for sharing your trip, man. Keep the rubber side down!
Preciate it man! I hope the trip went well! I feel you on the age thing. I know ill start lookin older, but in my mind I'll be young forever.
I just want to say thank you. This video is amazing. I’ve been laid up and unable to ride. This was perfect, I felt like I was on those roads.
Very well done.
I appreciate it! We all share the same love for the open road. That first ride when your up and out is gonna be awesome!
" If I don't take a picture, it's like I was never there " ... epic...65 and still twisting grip and grabbing gears... see you out there
Enjoyed the video but it was probably even better living it and riding it!! Couldn’t imagine in person but i sure as hell plan on doing some long rides thanks for the inspiration
I appreciate it man! The only way to experience it for yourself is to get on a bike and do it. I encourage everyone to venture out of their comfort zones and take the challenge of finding who you are.
Well put together video.I really enjoyed it.Thanks
I appreciate it man! Stay tuned for more🤘🏻
Totally enjoying the ride and tunes. Thanks.
I appreciate it man!
Nice job, good videos,....you are blessed to have such a thrilling opportunity...sure you thank God for the views you get to see that alot of us only watch on a computer screen...
This was so good. Get back out there man! Oh, and the music selection is class!
I appreciate that! Just finished another cross country last week. Currently editing for the next one🤘🏻
What a trip! Nailed the tunes too 👍
@@farrish11 thank you man!
Epic trip, Brother. Epic trip. Thanks for binging me along. Peace..
I appreciate it man! Peace ✌🏻
You captured everything EVERYTHING 🤓👍🇫🇷
Dope music choices for this, my brother
One word: INSPIRATIONAL!! That is the best sh*t I’ve seen in a while brotha someday I hope to do a fraction of what you just did! 🤙🏾
Man I appreciate that! Someday soon I hope! Perfect time for those long rides is spring and fall.
Your videos are awesome,great music..loved the John Denver at the end!
Preciate it man!
That was phenomenal. You're living my dream. Thank you for sharing
I appreciate that man!
Get out there and live it!
I absolutely love this video. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate it!!
@@nooowhere_mann4848 No problem! If you get a chance, could you do a travel/camping tip and gear breakdown video? Your set up seems very close to what my ideal setup would be. I can't wait to see more content from you😁
@@recontiger7114 Hell yeah! I'm in the process of moving right now but once I'm settled in ill put something together. Just uploaded a video about 30 mins ago, still waiting on it to render.
Just came across this. Great vid. I agree with Gunny. I'm 74 still riding and will continue until I can't. Love bikes
Thank you man! Hell yeah! I aspire to be you one day.
Fkn badass bro! The Music selection is compatible with the scenic views captured as well! Ride on!
Preciate it man! Trying to tell a story with the music!
Excellent video. Good commentary. You kept it interesting. Plus an excellent selection of music IMO.
I appreciate it man! Music is the universal language in my opinion
Hey dude that was one hell of a good video, your sound track blended in beautifully with your videos content.
Keep up the good work and ride safe my friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I appreciate it man! You as well!
Great vid. Ouray, Colorado, wow. Been through there twice in my life. In June, 1983, driving oil field equipment southbound. Then in July, 2018, riding an Indian Chief northbound with my wife who I married in November, 1983. Thanks
Man that’s awesome! I’d like to do 550 goin northbound, carry me through Colorado and the remainder of MDH.
Great job with the camera work. I am in New Mexico but love scooting up to The east side of Utah and Colorado. I get up to both places as much as I can. Usual solo. Great way to unwind. And I totally agree with the Gunny’s philosophy on life. I’m 62 and feel and act like I’m still in my 40’s. Life is too short not to enjoy it fully.
Absolutley man! I appreciate it! Workin on the next one. I’m only 24 but I feel like I’ll have this appreciation and outlook till the end. Idk I’ll let you guys know if anything changes Hahahha
@@nooowhere_mann4848 … Right! Enjoy yourself and be safe out there.
UPDATE: just scooted up to Moab, Arches NP, then over to Colorado in September. Epic riding as always. Colorado River Scenic Byway 128 out of Moab was incredible.
That’s the way you do it!
Great ride, beautiful landscapes
I just found your channel. Fukn awesome! I live in Wyoming. I rode out to the Pacific Northwest and back, back in 2002. Great ride! Have ridden to the East Coast a couple times, hit Rolling Thunder in DC. (That was amazing!!) But not near enough sight seeing. Just quick there and back. My body no longer likes being on the bike for very long at a time, but still might try one more, before I go, and see how IT goes.
RIDE ON
Ride to live and live to ride man! Glad to know why your heart still beating the engine still running. Good luck with everything and stay up.
I live in the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area. I wasn’t expecting you to go through such a random small town lol I crossed that bridge probably 100 times
No way! Super small town, had breakfast at a local diner there. Some of the nicest people I met on the trip.
Subbed! This was fantastic. The ride, the music, everything was perfect.
I appreciate that man! I hope the next one has the same affect!
Love this video! Tnanks for making. Nothing better than some Eddie Vedder and riding motorcycles!!
Best combo since peas and carrots
Sweet!! I wish I could’ve been on the back but I would’ve messed you up w bathroom breaks. Lol. This needs to be a PBS documentary. I work in public tv so I would know. Just beautiful. Crazy beautiful. So much more road ahead of you. Me & my dog r going Cleveland to Portland. OR soon for school in my Yaris!! 💋🇺🇸♥️🙋♀️
Thank you for following along! Can’t stop mother nature from calling ahahaha. Currently on a ship in Vancouver Washington. Portland isn’t too far away
Getting me pumped for an upcoming trip on my new to me 2014 street glide with two life long brothers. As soon as the PJ started playing i hit the subscribe button! Thanks for putting in the work
Of course man! Love this shit. Enjoy that ride!
Thanks for the ride-along...Beautiful!
Awesome desk ride for me! HD Street Glide in the garage screaming to make the time!
This video was very well produced and the soundtrack was awesome! I know exactly what you mean by not taking the pictures was like not being there..I did a solo 9960 miler from NJ during August and September of this year, and she pressured me every day for the family blog. But it was all good. Family and friends said I'm crazy , at age 62. But then there are others that said I'm fuckin badass!! I prefer the second!! What started off as a Sturgis ride grew by miles!!!
I need to check out your other videos and subscribe, especially if your talking Alaska.
Ride on buddy......
Will do man! Thank you again! Once I stopped seeking the affirmation of the people closest to me, my life began. Alaska is going to have be planned very well and something I don’t want to rush. When I go, you’ll see it here🤘🏻
LI Represent! Great trip and amazing vid. Well done bro!
Thank you man!
Really enjoyed this Video , Thanks 😊
Anytime man glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! One day I'm going coast to coast too. Subscribed
Thanks for sharing,,,nice camera &, 1 great video -!!!☆☆☆☆☆☆
I appreciate it!!
That was a nice ass ride bro. Thanks for bringing us along. Some absolute beautiful scenery .
I appreciate it man! I hope you get out there and experience it for yourself one day!
Love Greta van fleet good choice of music Heat Above
The video was great, as was the soundtrack. Your the first one, I’ve heard use “Prisoners”, in fifty years. It’s a favorite of mine. Eddie Vedder’s, “HardSun”, also lit memories.
I rode most of your route and enjoyed revisiting it with you. It makes one appreciate what a beautiful country we have. 👍
I appreciate it man! I feel like kids my age are going one way and I’m headed the other way. Rediscovering music from my parents generation and sooner. The music tells stories and paints pictures in my mind. Do you have any road recommendations?
@@nooowhere_mann4848 Dwight Yoakam, 1000 Miles from nowhere and Johnny Lee, Hello Texas are good travel tunes.
Pop
What a presentation !!! What a content !!! Fantastic Brother !! Subbed !!
I appreciate it man 🤘🏻
Good tunes and good views great video thanks for sharing brother!
I appreciate it man!
fist time watching! this is the channel i been looking for! love it!
I appreciate that man! I hope I live up to what you been lookin for!
@@nooowhere_mann4848 oh most definitely dude! The open road riding I love it bro!
@@RoadGlideRick me too man. Can’t get enough of it
You nailed it Bro 👍🏻 planning to do that myself ✊🏻☠️
Preciate it man! Good luck on your adventure!
Out’Fing’Standing ! Very well done video, the music was matched perfect.
As a fellow motorcyclist I know others will appreciate it.
Folks that don’t ride- don’t get it. Ride safe bro, I’ll see you out there.
I appreciate it man! Workin on my next edit right now. It will be up within the next month or so. I’ll see you down the road 🤘🏻
I pride myself just loving all brands of bikes. But, it is just something different experiencing the country on a Harley Davidson. Love this video bro.
I appreciate it man! I’ve done long rides on other makes. It’s the sound for me. Long hours on the road, you want a nice sounding engine.
Thanks...I really do appreciate the simple, honest and brief comments.
Great music to accompany awesome footage. Ride safe.
Thank you man! You as well!
Incredible. Love this!❤️
Wow Dude.... this is great I would love to be able to do this one day, but I am a single dad, and my son is about to be 17 in December, but I'll be 50 soon so my time to be doing this stuff is running out and I got a full-time job and a child to take care of so it's going to have to wait a while. Respect though man, winter in the mountains of Colorado on a bike ain't no joke though and I know with the proper gear its posable and looks like you have the proper gear but still like I said it ain't no joke. Peace and safe travels.
I appreciate it man! Take it from me, a son. All the time you give your boy hell remember long after your gone. All the the good and bad, hell remember it all. Leading with love and understanding will go so far. Once he can stand on his own feet, you'll have more time to do you. Till then, its a lot of leading by example. "Preach everyday and sometimes use words". Good luck with everything, you got this!
This better be for everyone, and without exception.
Thanks I needed this... some familiar roads on your ride. Last year I did a 39 day ride, this year, local only (not getting old, the P's are) man I enjoyed your ride!
I appreciate it man! I hear you, my folks are gettin there too. Stay safe out there!
What a ride thank you!
Anytime!
Great video and soundtrack. Me and my girl burned up 600 miles this past weekend going to the beach. Gonna be a great summer of riding good Lord willing
Thank you man! Hell yeah, what coast are you guys on?
@@nooowhere_mann4848 I'm in North Carolina. Been riding a long time and wore out a lot of bikes. Stay safe out there
@@vinceaikens195 word! I’m headed down that way for the Backroad BBQ run in Trenton. Maybe I’ll see you there!
@@nooowhere_mann4848 haven't heard of that one so I looked it up. Sounds like a party to attend. Another big one will be the Myrtle beach rally and then in June a big one at Rockingham dragway with AHDRA drag racing and a big party Iike the smoke out was. You might see me at the pig pickin. It's only a couple hundred miles from me. On that chopcult site check out the add for Mayhem at Midway. That's me on the bottom right with a keg strapped on back of my shovel. Lol
@@vinceaikens195 will do man I’ll check it out!
Awesome video
Thank you!
