Jess, this Midwesterner agrees on a: motorcycle tent camping, b: lack of great spots in the midwest, c: desire to do more and more of it and d; detest talking gas stations. Encourage you to keep heading south into WV, though. Plum Hollow Lake (in Fayette County) is a favorite spot. And Before SD gets too bad, understand that fall is THE BEST time to do the camping thing... Something about the changing colors, cooler nights, camp coffee, lack of insects....scent of fire. Confession: I've even camped in the snow a couple times. Loved it.
Again Jess I have enjoyed you thoughts. Today is 9-9-20 I woke up to an Orange Sky and a pile of fires around me. As I have stated I'm located in Rio Vista, CA. Your beautiful blue sky is refreshing to see. Enjoy your day and I'll look forward to the next one. Stay well.
Whoa, three coffees, you were riding without a bike! Love to see people out and enjoying their bikes! Thank you for sharing your videos, enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery of Ohio.
I grew up in a cold winter state , I left that snow / cold winter stuff about 10 years ago . Now I can ride all year round , it's the greatest feeling . Also no more grumpy people complaining about the cold / snow ever year that is so annoying to me haha . Snow is fun to vacation in for a week that's about it , I can't believe people want to be cold for 7 months out the year ....thanks for the vid !
I am going to give my 2 cents. Don't worry about having to have a topic for a video. I subscribed to your channel because of your personality. I love how you just love riding you bike. How you talk to all the animals and the big basket. You bring a huge smile to my face every time I watch. And as a bonus your videos always look and sound great. I hope you have a great day.
Go to Red River Gorge in Kentucky . If you go you can hike in off one of the trailheads but you must camp 300' off the trail . Been doing it for a long time . They also have great primitive camping grounds .
You have inspired me to do the camping/motorcycle treatment this year on my Dyna low rider. So I’ve really enjoyed all your videos on everything really. I love how you describe things needed and what works best. Keep her on two wheels and ride!
Absolutely Tent camping is the best! Just got back from a couple days in Land Between the Lakes and putting together my video footage for my next channel video now! Hopefully you will have the opportunity to get out and camp some more this season! Love your channel! Thank you for taking us with you!
Like Ron White, I don’t like camping when I’m camping. That said, we’re looking at getting a travel trailer at some point soon. Considering a toy hauler to bring the bike, but a travel trailer isn’t camping as much as it’s living temporarily in a tiny house. I do respect those that tent camp, especially on a bike. Not like you can pack everything you might want, you have to be smart about the available space you have to carry everything. I tried iced coffee last week and found that I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I have a 30oz RTIC tumbler I use for about 24oz of coffee. Filled it with ice and then the coffee and it was good stuff. Much more refreshing on a hot day. Thanks for posting.
Jess, I always feel entertained by the content of your videos, the ride, the commentary. the occasional giggle and of course the excitement when you spot a "Good Boy"!! I've been riding for 55 years, so I've got to call you out for something you did in this video. For the sake of your safety. You gased up sitting on your scoot and even splashed fuel on your pants!! That my friend is a huge NO NO!! In my lifetime of riding I personally witnessed 3 gas station incidents where gas splashed down onto the hot engine or exhaust on bikes and a fire erupted. One of the riders was burnt pretty badly, the other two got lucky with minor burns. PLEASE don't do that!! Keep doing what you do! I/WE all enjoy your channel immensely!!
After the first long ride I started putting painters masking tape on all of the Crome and even most of the speedometer on my Road King. Got a good many comments but it was better than the headache from the glare. Enjoyable video. Ride safe.
I love to motorcycle camp too. Bringing a bunch of extra stuff isn’t worth the effort and stress! In the PNW a lot of the time it’s hard to find a good campsite but I’ve had good luck calling ahead to book a site. I tell them than I’m on a cruiser and over the last 4 years I have had excellent experiences with campgrounds letting me know if their campground will suit my needs. If they can’t, they can often give me tips on better places to camp. To help me sleep at night, I do much better with ear plugs than melatonin or Benadryl. After a couple of times I find I sleep best with the lower level decibel plugs (vs the ones that block everything out). Awesome videos!!!
North Carolina might be ways for you to go for just a couple of days camping, but I’ll tell you that we have motorcycle only camp grounds. My personal favorite is Willville Motorcycle Camp. Each site I’ve visited is very nice with shade, cleared of rocks, etc. Good luck.
Hey, I found you through Shadetree. I have an old Super Glide, 2001, but I keep her healthy and clean. I've been in the bike business a long time and have owned a bunch of bikes, but I have never loved one as much as I love this old sled. Normally I buy Lowriders. Once I got used to this bike I was hooked. She has a name as well, Maggie..LOL
You have your winter season coming up and here in Florida we’re at the peak of our Hurricane season. 😃 Nice to see blue skies in Ohio. Good choice on the tent decision. Always nice to spread out and relax. Take care Jess!
I can camp out on my screened in back porch. I have 100 acres of forest behind my home. I understand why you have to get away from the urban sprawl. Great that you can get away once in a while and chill in the country. I got away from the snow and cold about 36 years ago and went south. I can ride all year now. Be safe out there Jess.
I've done a lot of backpacking especially when I was younger and find Hammocks like a Hennessey or now Warbonnet to be the most comfortable to sleep in (you sleep diagonally in those, no banana effect). However, you need to know all the tricks for when the weather gets cold with a hammock. For backpacking they're great, light, hang's anywhere there are trees (or setup on the ground with polls). They work well for that. For motocamping the tent wins for me as well. Having a place to get in and keep the gear dry helps a lot when it's raining. I travel with two 28 liter side panniers, one with my full camping kit, tent/down bag/bag liner (boost cold wx rating and on hot days just use that) and a Big Agnes insulated air pad and an inflatable pillow. It all fits in that one side case perfectly. I keep my clothes and heated jacket/gloves in a 50 L dry bag on the rear seat and the other panier holds my stove/food/water. That way in bear country I can just put the case in a bear box or hang it away from the campsite and all food smells stay with that one case. I bring comfortable ear plugs for sleep if it's a noisy location and generally try to avoid places with lots of RV's as they run generators all the time. My 106L of storage was all I needed for a full set of clothing for all conditions from freezing cold to hot (with heated gear) to travel up to Alaska and back for 27 days camping the whole way. If you haven't tried heated gear it will change a 40-50 degree day into a really pleasant riding experience when used correctly. Heating your core keeps your feet and hands warm. For side sleepers out there where a mummy bag is miserable checkout spoon-shaped bags from places like Nemo. The down bags are amazing and pack small so you don't use up a ton of storage space.
We just came off of a 5K duelsport ride through the COBDR into Utah then the Idaho BDR. 20 days on the KTM 690. Yep, I keep melatonin in my backpack too. And this time I tried one of those pack cots that's about 6 or so inches off the ground. My hip liked it allot better than sleeping on an air pad.. it's kinda bulky but not as bad as I thought it would be weighs about 5lbs... We would camp about 3 to 4 days then motel sleep in a good bed.. And the cot fit in my twoman tent also.And great video too! Thanks for sharing. Ride safe!!!
I also love motorcycles; I live however in a country where they have kei-cars (small cars with engine displacement of max 660cc) i used my small Suzuki Every (jp) to go camping about 2 years ago. Mileage for a two week trip was just below 25 km/l. The car seats in the back collapse so that two people can sleep stretched out with a madress and warm comforter - the bed remains ready made! Perfect camping for a few weeks, and the car is probably no more expensive than your bike. (Since I travel by myself when out and about, there is plenty of space.) I admire how you can take bike travel cold or hot, but I do prefer my little bed on wheels if so desired.
Thanks for another great video. I'm from Washington State and they just extended all the park camping, which usually ends on Labor Day, for another month. We also have a handful of camping parks that are open year-round since the weather is very mild here. I too have a Harley, a 16 Street Glide, which has seen many, many days with me solo camping. Keep up the good work and I always look forward to your next one.
October is always a good time of year to camp if the weather stays mild during the day and slightly cool at night. Observing autumn foliage is very rewarding.🍁🍂
Leaving on a 10 day rode trip in a week and a half from Houston to Eastern Tennessee and back through Kentucky. Camping all the way. Nothing finer then waking up to a cool crisp morning know hot coffee is just a few minutes away. You continue to ride, camp and live your life as you want. Spray the lens on your speedo with a light coating of hairspray and that will cut the glare.
😂 i’m from Ohio I totally understand what you mean about seasonal depression. I’m personally getting ready to head back to my property in Arizona. Ohio is nice in the summer but can’t stand it in the winter.
Still in the 90’s here in Louisiana and humidity is always a factor here! Either way a camping trip is in our near future regardless. Looking forward to the the next video. 😎👊🏼
I'm 100% for a PSL. I ordered some cold weather gear so I can try to ride as long as possible this year but I feel you. I was out on Sunday a.m. and it was cold as hell for the first hour!
I had every intention of doing a lot more camping this year after my first trip in April. But it's far too hot and humid to stay on the Gulf Coast and tent camp this time of year, and I'm coming up on 5 months without full-time employment, so traveling North isn't an option right now. On the plus side though, October usually gives us about three perfect weeks of weather and there's actually a State Park right here in Mobile, so I'll take advantage of it then. Peace and love.
The GF and I were out car camping in South Algonquin (Ontario, Canada) and it was 40*F in the evening. A little cold! Camping is still lots of fun though.
When I'm riding my Fatboy, I used to get blinded by the sun, had to get a Mexican blanket roll to block out the chrome from the highlight. I feel your pain on reflection from the sun.
If you really want to sleep in comfort and luxury while you’re in your tent then get yourself a Therm-o-rest luxurylite cot. It’s like 2lbs and breaks down really small for motorcycle camping or backpacking.
We have a lot of camping in AZ, but it's been too hot of late. No trees around where I live. Nothing for meaningful shade at least. I'd have to go up north. The other thing about camping here is snakes and scorpions. Fires are usually a no no a lot of the time.
That's funny, in Indiana...right next door in the "mid-west", there are three state parks that offer free camping and some with limited hookups ... that are also free.
🤦♂️Geez!!! 🤔Riding, camping you have it made... 😔We’ve been lockdown since March. 1 hour to go shopping, 1 hour of exercise. Most of our shops are closed☹️, we’re only allowed to travel 5klms from our homes and a curfew between 8pm and 5am. That feeling you had about something behind you, that’s us 🤗 sitting on the back trying to feel freedom again 🤣😂🤣😂. Thanks for letting us see the world 🌏🌎again... Cheers from 🇦🇺...
phantommaggotxxx Nah!! That’s partly how we got here in the first place, with a BLM protest... Then again with 1 week of Lockdown to go, The Brain Dead are out Protesting the Lockdown ... That’s why we are Locked Downed Tighter than a METRIC CRUISER’s Primary Case!!!
Check out the "Fresh and Black" tent from Company Decathlon! It's complete black inside and keeps the heat outside! So it's dark inside and you will not wake up by the sunlight inside and it will not warm up inside till you start with swet. Try it! This is only a tip from a german Street Glide driver. ;-)
I know winners get pretty cold in Ohio, one of the things I do like about California is I can pretty much ride you're around, I do know a lot of the back roads and that makes it nice for riding
I can't wait to go moto camping. But tent is the way to go. Hopefully we will get to go next year as right now my state is not doing well with fires everywhere. I hope camping is an option next summer but we will have to see the damage the fires have caused. It's scary over here right now in the pacific northwest. Love your videos. You have inspired me so much and I wanted to say thank you for that!
I've heard that TH-cam posters have no control over which commercials are shown. So it was ironic that the first commercial was for a hammock tent right after you said you preferred tents over hammocks. 🤣
Do Q&A, product reviews, and montage videos during those Winter months. Until then, enjoy the riding season. Spring, Summer, and Fall all have their benefits.
I always take a day and scout out a campground prior to camping in it. Just another excuse to ride.. I know I'm in SC, but I'll camp year-round. If you can ride your bike in the winter, you can camp in the winter! Plenty of winter camping tips on the U-Tubez...
Hey Jess. Been enjoying your content so far. I agree that camping in a tent is much better. Here in Australia we have thousands of free camping areas to enjoy but they have limited facilities as well. Most have long drop toilets, many have tables and fire pits and some have nothing at all. There are numerous sites that are right on the edge of a stream or a lake which is just lovely. I'm from the state of Victoria in the city of Melbourne. You may have heard on the news that we area currently (as at Sept 22nd) still in severe stage 4 lockdown due to covid 19. We're not allowed to travel more than 3 miles from home to get food or supplies or exercise. We have a 9pm-5am curfew. Many businesses have their staff working from home and those that do travel about for work must have a Victorian worker permit in their pocket. We must also wear a face mask when leaving home. No public gatherings are allowed and we MUST stay home if we are not out for work or food or medical appt. And we certainly are not allowed to travel and camp out anywhere. If you leave the city limit to enter regional area of our state, which I regularly do for work, you must show your permit to work and be able to prove you have a valid reason for doing so. If the police feel that you're on breach of the restrictions they will issue a fine, done up to$5,000 Aus. It's terrible... Wife and I are really looking forward to having our freedoms restored so we can load our motorcycle up and go camping... so we're currently doing so vicariously thru your videos and others until our day comes. Thanks for your great content. Keep up the good work.
Hey! Dont talk about winter yet! I'm going on a long bike trip next week for 10 days and i dont want it to be snowing when i ride home here in upstate NY.😂😎
Omgoodness, still laughing at your commentary toward the end. 🤣🤣 I just stumbled upon your channel after watching @itchyboots for years. Because I ride and am MN born & raised, I can totally relate! This was the first video of yours that I've watch so I have lots of catching up to do. Take a ride to CA to get away from your cold & snow. You'll love the riding weather out here.
6:19 That burble ! God I miss my Harley. A lot of people I follow are burning them selves out making content couples are splitting up. You need ME time you take me time . A lot of your vids. I will happily go back an watch again. I love your company but unless you're in a good place ..... You can have ONE day off 😁
Same in most of the UK (except Scotland) - we can't wild camp here, we have to use campgrounds and there is never much detail online about what you are going to get. I haven't been for so long....and my partner doesn't do camping, but I reckon I'll have to just go do it on my own pretty soon... Had to smile when you stopped at the lights! One confident strut!
Props to you doing all these solo trips 🤘Most of the sites are still closed in Florida,so we decided to do a bnb. It was our first "long distance ride" on the bikes. 250 miles one way. It was an absolute blast,and we were able to get a decent amount of footage from it.
I recently bought a Honda Shadow and have been learning to ride all over again. My last time riding my own was 20 yrs ago and back then no girls were riding. When I found your channel I was surprised to see we live in the same town and have been watching ever since. I enjoy your camping ones especially and am hoping to do it myself. How about a hosting a woman's night or two of camping with Jess? I have a couple girlfriend's that ride and we would like to invite you to ride with us sometime. Keep sharing the love of a woman and Her Two Wheels. ❤️💯
I took my bike camping but the ground to get to the site was dirt and it rained. I had to park my harly down by the entrance. It was still a fun time but its hard to find a camp ground that is motorcycle friendly in Northern Colorado.
Hi Jess The sound your Dyna made when you left the petrol station was intoxicating. A black speedo dial would eliminate reflections. Love your videos, ride safe.
It's a bit of a drive but check out northern Michigan, there's a lot of areas to be able to camp for free or a very low fee. The fall color change is coming so it's a good time to check out m119, tunnel of trees
You have inspired me. I’m heading out on my bike from Eastern KY Wednesday going to Seneca Rocks in WV then riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and camping along the way!
As a Motorcycle Instructor we always taught our beginners to get off the bike to put fuel in it, precisely to avoid what happened to you! Just saying! Yup, Tent Camping is the way to go!
90 degrees Monday hot and nice, by Wednesday it freaking snowed!!! It’s literally 30 degrees right now and oh ya it’s suppose to be 85 by Friday. Colorado weather!!
Hey, I noticed on your helmet GoPro you’ve taken off the door on your GoPro for the audio adaptor. To waterproof it again you can buy silicon putty ear plugs on amazon to stick in it. I just found that out a couple of days ago. Good video
iPod Nano? Hell, I still use my Zune! Mainly because there are thousands of hair metal songs on it, and you can't find these great ones any more. :) Tried going camping two weeks ago...site is on fire. Tried again 3 days later at a new spot 100 miles away...on fire. Tried two days ago north of me on the coast...on fire. Sometimes, California is just too hot to handle!
But but but you have the coolest Hammock EVER! I totally get it. Everyone has their preferences..... I wish we had more public land in Ohio! Gotta pay for those camp sites. 😕 I am in dire need of a camping weekend but it’s impossible to book!!!!
Oh God I feel your pain. I'm in South West Ohio. And I think the closest public land is Wayne National Forest in Ohio. But that's even 3hrs away I can only imagine what itd be for you. I mainly go to Caesars creek
Great vlog can’t believe the camping situation in such a vast country with soo much open space .Your so right life’s chores just absorbe way too much time but when you get on the bike it’s just so much fun and I reckon uplifts the spirit great therapy . I hate the winter too what a downer but what can ya do just grin and bare it . Mal UK luv it :)

We are about 1 month away from the start of camping and motorbike rally season here in New Zealand, first summer on a Harley cant wait!!
Nice

Another fun visit with Her Two Wheels. Like old friends. Sometimes it matters not what we say, often just visiting is fun! Thanks.
I nearly choked to death laughing at the woman crossing the road in the crosswalk at about 13:45!

You’re so right about having room to lounge around and spread your gear out, so it’s definitely a tent for me 🤙

We'd be out of here in winter too, if the all the family and grandkids weren't here. :/
Can you imagine the influence you are to many, to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors. Thank you!!
Get a smoked helmet shield. I use one on my Lane Splitter and the sun never bothers me.
I agree 100% I use a tinted windshield - will never go back to clear!
Still in the 90’s here in Louisiana and humidity is always a factor here! Either way a camping trip is in our near future regardless. Looking forward to the the next video. 😎👊🏼

But it's far too hot and humid to stay on the Gulf Coast and tent camp this time of year, and I'm coming up on 5 months without full-time employment, so traveling North isn't an option right now. On the plus side though, October usually gives us about three perfect weeks of weather and there's actually a State Park right here in Mobile, so I'll take advantage of it then. Peace and love.
Something to try in the Winter dark when the sky is clear: Astronomy. An 8" tabletop dobsonian would fit on your bike.
Now that sounds fun! Even though I’m more of an astrology girl haha!
@@HerTwoWheels Nooooooo!
Science!
68k that’s amazing! Congratulations Jess. Ride Safe 🙏🏻😎🏴
Hi Jess , I love too hear the rumble of a Harley & a beautiful woman riding one like yourself , be safe out there , have a happy thursday ! 😊❤
The GF and I were out car camping in South Algonquin (Ontario, Canada) and it was 40*F in the evening. A little cold! Camping is still lots of fun though.
When I'm riding my Fatboy, I used to get blinded by the sun, had to get a Mexican blanket roll to block out the chrome from the highlight. I feel your pain on reflection from the sun.
I had to "plasti-dip" the dash on my Switchback to cut down on the glare. Not 100% perfect but it works for me.
@@tomtruesdale6901 I think that would be the good enough is good enough route and I totally agree with it :)
Scouring pad fixes that quick !
If you really want to sleep in comfort and luxury while you’re in your tent then get yourself a Therm-o-rest luxurylite cot.
It’s like 2lbs and breaks down really small for motorcycle camping or backpacking.
We have a lot of camping in AZ, but it's been too hot of late. No trees around where I live. Nothing for meaningful shade at least. I'd have to go up north. The other thing about camping here is snakes and scorpions. Fires are usually a no no a lot of the time.
That's funny, in Indiana...right next door in the "mid-west", there are three state parks that offer free camping and some with limited hookups ... that are also free.
Work it girl! 😆 good video Jess! Can’t wait for the camping one👍🏼
🤦♂️Geez!!! 🤔Riding, camping you have it made... 😔We’ve been lockdown since March. 1 hour to go shopping, 1 hour of exercise. Most of our shops are closed☹️, we’re only allowed to travel 5klms from our homes and a curfew between 8pm and 5am. That feeling you had about something behind you, that’s us 🤗 sitting on the back trying to feel freedom again 🤣😂🤣😂. Thanks for letting us see the world 🌏🌎again... Cheers from 🇦🇺...
Sounds like you need to revolt....
Which is probably why most countries are doing better than the US in controlling the spread of the disease. :(
Get ready for flu season I heard we won't even be able to use phones the china virus can travel through the air waves now 😂😂
phantommaggotxxx Nah!! That’s partly how we got here in the first place, with a BLM protest... Then again with 1 week of Lockdown to go, The Brain Dead are out Protesting the Lockdown ... That’s why we are Locked Downed Tighter than a METRIC CRUISER’s Primary Case!!!
You need to break free of your overlords. USA=freedom
It's in our DNA.
Winter in south Florida is our peak riding season.
Check out the "Fresh and Black" tent from Company Decathlon! It's complete black inside and keeps the heat outside! So it's dark inside and you will not wake up by the sunlight inside and it will not warm up inside till you start with swet. Try it!
This is only a tip from a german Street Glide driver. ;-)
I know winners get pretty cold in Ohio, one of the things I do like about California is I can pretty much ride you're around, I do know a lot of the back roads and that makes it nice for riding
I like the “thought spewing” type videos it kinda lets us get into the mind of Jess and get to know her better in a way??? Maybe lol
I really like just hearing how you are and what you're up to...maybe because you're always so positive and upbeat. Cheers 🏍️🏕️
I love your chanel its not about just a bike its a life style thank you and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮
I can't wait to go moto camping. But tent is the way to go. Hopefully we will get to go next year as right now my state is not doing well with fires everywhere. I hope camping is an option next summer but we will have to see the damage the fires have caused. It's scary over here right now in the pacific northwest. Love your videos. You have inspired me so much and I wanted to say thank you for that!
Just ordered my tent hammock!! You inspired me to go bike camping
I've heard that TH-cam posters have no control over which commercials are shown. So it was ironic that the first commercial was for a hammock tent right after you said you preferred tents over hammocks. 🤣
Please include the clip of the lady walking in the crosswalk in the rest of your videos. OMG! She is classic!!! Butter those biscuits!!!
Do Q&A, product reviews, and montage videos during those Winter months. Until then, enjoy the riding season. Spring, Summer, and Fall all have their benefits.
I to am from central Ohio . Mohican State Park has tent camping only down by the covered bridge . Awesome riding also
Heated grips heated seat and winter gear. Don’t let the cold intimidate you. Snow I can understand but the cold is easy to beat even on a bike.
"She knows she on camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣" "Work it girl, i miss my iPad nano" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cannot with you today 🥰
I always take a day and scout out a campground prior to camping in it. Just another excuse to ride.. I know I'm in SC, but I'll camp year-round. If you can ride your bike in the winter, you can camp in the winter! Plenty of winter camping tips on the U-Tubez...
I do the same thing!
Yas Team Freestanding Tent ftw!
I definitely have some upgrades to make. but my mind is made! haha!
Lol I liked The process talking yourself into buying an ice coffee. And of course the lady walking across the street.
Hey Jess.
Been enjoying your content so far. I agree that camping in a tent is much better.
Here in Australia we have thousands of free camping areas to enjoy but they have limited facilities as well. Most have long drop toilets, many have tables and fire pits and some have nothing at all. There are numerous sites that are right on the edge of a stream or a lake which is just lovely.
I'm from the state of Victoria in the city of Melbourne. You may have heard on the news that we area currently (as at Sept 22nd) still in severe stage 4 lockdown due to covid 19. We're not allowed to travel more than 3 miles from home to get food or supplies or exercise. We have a 9pm-5am curfew. Many businesses have their staff working from home and those that do travel about for work must have a Victorian worker permit in their pocket. We must also wear a face mask when leaving home. No public gatherings are allowed and we MUST stay home if we are not out for work or food or medical appt. And we certainly are not allowed to travel and camp out anywhere.
If you leave the city limit to enter regional area of our state, which I regularly do for work, you must show your permit to work and be able to prove you have a valid reason for doing so. If the police feel that you're on breach of the restrictions they will issue a fine, done up to$5,000 Aus. It's terrible...
Wife and I are really looking forward to having our freedoms restored so we can load our motorcycle up and go camping... so we're currently doing so vicariously thru your videos and others until our day comes.
Thanks for your great content.
Keep up the good work.
Hey! Dont talk about winter yet! I'm going on a long bike trip next week for 10 days and i dont want it to be snowing when i ride home here in upstate NY.😂😎
I heard parts of Wyoming is expecting snow!
Colorado, Wyoming got 12" inches plus three days ago! 😥😥
I haven't seen snow in five years since I bought a snow shovel. I can see your point. 😆
Omgoodness, still laughing at your commentary toward the end. 🤣🤣 I just stumbled upon your channel after watching @itchyboots for years. Because I ride and am MN born & raised, I can totally relate! This was the first video of yours that I've watch so I have lots of catching up to do. Take a ride to CA to get away from your cold & snow. You'll love the riding weather out here.
Thank you for visiting!
6:19 That burble ! God I miss my Harley. A lot of people I follow are burning them selves out making content couples are splitting up. You need ME time you take me time . A lot of your vids. I will happily go back an watch again. I love your company but unless you're in a good place ..... You can have ONE day off 😁
My favorite vids from her is the camping. Idk why maybe it's the kid in me coming out but I love those vids
Same in most of the UK (except Scotland) - we can't wild camp here, we have to use campgrounds and there is never much detail online about what you are going to get. I haven't been for so long....and my partner doesn't do camping, but I reckon I'll have to just go do it on my own pretty soon...
Had to smile when you stopped at the lights! One confident strut!
I think wild camping is allowed on dartmoor too, or at least some parts of it 👍
@@josephmannion1976 ah cool. I know there are a few places, but very limited and by and large not allowed
Props to you doing all these solo trips 🤘Most of the sites are still closed in Florida,so we decided to do a bnb. It was our first "long distance ride" on the bikes. 250 miles one way. It was an absolute blast,and we were able to get a decent amount of footage from it.
I recently bought a Honda Shadow and have been learning to ride all over again. My last time riding my own was 20 yrs ago and back then no girls were riding. When I found your channel I was surprised to see we live in the same town and have been watching ever since. I enjoy your camping ones especially and am hoping to do it myself. How about a hosting a woman's night or two of camping with Jess? I have a couple girlfriend's that ride and we would like to invite you to ride with us sometime. Keep sharing the love of a woman and Her Two Wheels. ❤️💯
Keep up the awesome work! These camping videos are the best. Cheers from Brazil!
I took my bike camping but the ground to get to the site was dirt and it rained. I had to park my harly down by the entrance. It was still a fun time but its hard to find a camp ground that is motorcycle friendly in Northern Colorado.
Hi Jess
The sound your Dyna made when you left the petrol station was intoxicating. A black speedo dial would eliminate reflections. Love your videos, ride safe.
It’s insane how despite everything going on this year being stuck at home and what not how fast this year has gone by.
I love how this video was done. You are a great communicator so you can do videos without much content and it’s still an awesome video.
put a lightly tinted polarized tint on your speedo. it'll keep reflectiveness down.
Yeh love September. Winter's over and summers coming although this year you would have hardly noticed.
Yes once again a great video!! Stay you,stay safe,ride safe
Food on a stick in one hand and a nice cold beer in the other, with your friends, you are right best way to camp!
Don't know about Ohio but there's plenty of public land for camping here in both peninsulas of Michigan 😎 And keep up the good work young lady !
It's a bit of a drive but check out northern Michigan, there's a lot of areas to be able to camp for free or a very low fee. The fall color change is coming so it's a good time to check out m119, tunnel of trees
You have inspired me. I’m heading out on my bike from Eastern KY Wednesday going to Seneca Rocks in WV then riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and camping along the way!
11:07 That big basket freaks me out! 😮
I love camping.. But im afraid of wrong turn monster 😂😂
As a Motorcycle Instructor we always taught our beginners to get off the bike to put fuel in it, precisely to avoid what happened to you! Just saying!
Yup, Tent Camping is the way to go!
93 degrees Monday 34 degrees Tuesday Colorado vibes🤣
I like the travel trailer . Water shower ac bed and easy pick up
90 degrees Monday hot and nice, by Wednesday it freaking snowed!!! It’s literally 30 degrees right now and oh ya it’s suppose to be 85 by Friday. Colorado weather!!
Winter camping is awesome
You are so funny at times. I enjoy all your videos.
"It's the skinny pedal on the right! " I say that all the time! Lol. Love your videos!
Hey, I noticed on your helmet GoPro you’ve taken off the door on your GoPro for the audio adaptor. To waterproof it again you can buy silicon putty ear plugs on amazon to stick in it. I just found that out a couple of days ago.
Good video
The #1 thing I got from this video... Snow thrower??? In MN it's a snow blower, unless you're talking about a shovel! ❄️
they're called both in Ohio. The propellers puck up the snow and throw it to the side lol.
iPod Nano? Hell, I still use my Zune! Mainly because there are thousands of hair metal songs on it, and you can't find these great ones any more. :)
Tried going camping two weeks ago...site is on fire. Tried again 3 days later at a new spot 100 miles away...on fire. Tried two days ago north of me on the coast...on fire. Sometimes, California is just too hot to handle!
I use a tent for camping at a State campground because they don't allow hammocks(because they attach to trees).
But but but you have the coolest Hammock EVER! I totally get it. Everyone has their preferences..... I wish we had more public land in Ohio! Gotta pay for those camp sites. 😕 I am in dire need of a camping weekend but it’s impossible to book!!!!
right! I booked a spot for MID OCTOBER weeks ago and the site I wanted still wasn't available...
Her Two Wheels Damnnnn, I better start looking later tonight to actually manage an over the weekend camping trip this fall.... 😭
I laughed so hard at the South Park reference. I was like what is she doing, it seems familiar, then boom lol. Now I want coffee too.
Literally died never thought a Harley rider would post that clip.....but she did and thats why I love it 🤣🤣
Oh God I feel your pain. I'm in South West Ohio. And I think the closest public land is Wayne National Forest in Ohio. But that's even 3hrs away I can only imagine what itd be for you. I mainly go to Caesars creek
Great vlog can’t believe the camping situation in such a vast country with soo much open space .Your so right life’s chores just absorbe way too much time but when you get on the bike it’s just so much fun and I reckon uplifts the spirit great therapy . I hate the winter too what a downer but what can ya do just grin and bare it . Mal UK luv it :)
Where I live there's plenty of Free camping just outside of the paid camp sites
