Here I am sitting in my home in the UK travelling to parts of the USA, that so beautiful and so wonderfully different to my country. Thanks for taking me along with you
Interesting I watched itchy boots to see your country.
Thanks, Tricia! It is great to be able to see areas that you might not get to visit - we feel the same way watching other YT channels.
You two are doing it right. Camping on motorcycles full time is definitely better than a RV.
With all my due respect to you Rich, but I think is truly awesome to watch Chris riding her GS as if it's the most natural thing in the World!! You two are amazing, thank you for sharing such joyful way to enjoy life!! 👍👍
It is awesome she’s a natural. Thank You.
Richard is right: stand up & give it gas when it gets squirrely. Only thing I would ad, as a former expert MX racer for years, is lean back. Stand & lean back when descending stuff like that.
Chris, you did great on that sandy hill. Just channel your dirt-bike riding self. Your BMW is well-suited for that kind of road. Besides, if Rich can get through with Miss Alice loaded down then you should be fine. I love watching how supportive you are of each other. I think it’s fantastic that you two had your careers and raised your kids, and now you’re enjoying doing things you both like doing, and doing it together. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Watching you guys pack up reminds me of when my wife and I used to tent camp and each of us had specifictasks that we both knew what we had to do and we moved like an orchestrated melody. Now we have a 5th wheel toy hauler, and the tasks are totally different
!PS: you guys eat better on the road, then I do at home!!! 🤣
Regarding the ice. I suggested KEEPING the ice in the bag it came with . THEN you have uncontaminated water available for any purpose later. It will keep to being sealed. Great vids guys, 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Oh yes we do that also. We only had it out of the bag when it broke.
Have you thought about a 12v shower pump. Use a folding bucket (space-saving)of warm water. We're still in lockdown in the UK. We go up to Scotland and wild camp using this system, it works well for us. I love your beautiful country, and now get to see because of you lovely folks.
We have Thanks. And that just may be in the future
Your ok....no I'am not.....lol good job Chris. Beautiful country Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it 🤣🤣
Wow! Your videos are usually excellent and I look forward to seeing them, however, this one was better than excellent (I've run out of superlatives!) Some wonderful scenery and great camerawork (especially like the use of the 360 camera when you pulled away from the hardshoulder). Bravo, many thanks for sharing, stay safe.
Glad you like them!
I am doing my first solo Moto camp very soon to test my gear. I hope against hope that I am still physically able to do it. I have not tried since my disability. I want to do this so much. Just once to get that bucket list filled up. I wanted to tell you that you two are a big part of the motivation to try. Without Two Wheels Big Life I would still be sitting and wishing instead of trying and doing.
That’s awesome. You can do it. Take your time. Everything you do will take longer. Embrace it and have a blast. Be sure to let us know how it goes. Cheers.
Unmissable. Unstoppable. Unbelievable entertainment. Until next time...keep safe both of you. Just for me. Love you. ROD UK.
Thanks, Rod. We keep trying.
You make it look so easy. I’m starting a 12000 mile road trip on the 21st of June. If it works out in routes I’d love to meet up and have a coffee or ice tea with you. I have watch all your seasons you all make it like family. I’m aging my Harley map if I’m close again I’d love the opportunity to stop in and meet you both. Between you Amanda Tim Robyn and Jess I have been inspired to do this road trip. God bless you all and thank you for your journey!
landscape is beautiful. you are an amazing couple !
Thank you so much!
That meal looks delicious!❤️
So good
Wow! House on fire was amazing. Stay safe and happy trails!
Thank you! Will do!
I sure love watching you folks!!
Thanks, Chris!!
Dang Richard got a haircut I must have missed that one ,Ride On you guys!👍🏻
Love House on Fire, need to put that on my bucket list 👍❤️
Yes, it should not be missed. Just don't ride all the way to the end of the dirt road like we did.
The scenery is so Beautiful 😍 ... the burning 🔥house was awesome and your pot pie looked absolutely delicious 😋
Thanks Patricia - appreciate it.
You should see if Harley will sponsor you Rich or donate a bike for your adventures...I see lots of great Harley mini-commercials with the road types and scenery for them! Great riding Chris on your new bike!
Love seeing the joy of others enjoying the majesty of my home state. Thanks for the memories.
Yes, Utah is truly a beautiful state to explore and I'm sure to live in as well.
Love the sound tracks. Fun and adventurous vid. Thank you for another virtual escape.
You took the camper down really fast. So much energy. Yes, zinc makes you look haggard. But not as in Merle Haggard. In that intense sun, you really do need it. I love that area and have ridden it many times. I hope you made it out to Dead Horse Point state park. Great views. I’ll be out there again in about 3 weeks. Enjoy your rides. You make camping on bikes look deceptively easy. Having done it, I know it’s not.
Thanks Dennis. So true - it is not as easy as it looks camping on bikes, but well worth it.
Richard, I think dirt roads are in your DNA ;-) ...House on fire was amazing.
I’m am kinda liking them Dave
WOW......Just amazing your blog is getting better and better. UTAH is the nicest place on earth.
Thanks - we keep trying.
What a fabulous location for your camp!
It was awesome for sure
Thanks for the video...............................Keep on Rocking and Riding in the FRee World !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always! 😍
So beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
Chris you did great in that sand but I want to give Rich a shout out. Rich you are looking great! This life obviously agrees with you. I remember in another episode (quite a while back) you guys mentioned your weight loss. As a bigger guy also, I can appreciate what you’ve done. Keep on rocking guys!
Thanks man. It hasn’t been easy all the time. Cheers
Love hwy 128. It has all new asphalt too. Beautiful country. We live in Fruita ,Co and Moab is only an 1.5 hours away. Love that ride. If you two ever need a place to stay we have a 3 bedroom 2 bath with a garage for the bikes. And you will not have to leave when we go to work. Love the videos... Life is for Fun!!
WOW!! Absolutely beautiful! Wish I were there. Keep on going you give me reason to keep on.
Thank you very much!
Such fun times
house on fire looks very cool, thank you for taking us along
90 deg F is too hot for me haha we have had 86 to 90 F here the last week in Ontario Canada and we were melting haha. Take Care guys
There is so much to see. My cousin and I were there just a couple of weeks ago. Took a 6 day ride. Only stayed there for 2 days. And there is so much to see and we rode 200mi sightseeing and still didn't see everything. And we didn't ride any of the parks. Line was always too long for the arches national park. We didn't want to waste our limited time waiting in line. Bikes would heat up. We're going back and taking more time so we can ride the parks. But there's just so much too see outside the parks. Totally recommend the Hole in the Rock. Cute sight, amazing style of living. Enjoy the beautiful sights.
Another great episode! Thanks guys 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, I don't like the sand on roads! House on fire very cool! Awesome campsite! Great Video And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
Thanks for watching!
Thermocell does a GREAT JOB on the bugs. You'll never regret.
A few years ago my youngest son and I took KLR 650 and rode from Denver down to Moab. We road through canyon land. I to hate sand but finally got it sorta figured out. We did a lot of dirt roads and trails. Fun memories. At that time I was 60 and I kept telling my son, hey I am 60 years old and he would say, Oh Dad 60 is just a number, to which I would say, yes a very big number. I just want to let you know that I am keeping you in our prayers for safety. Cool that you scored such a nice camp site at the Colorado River.
Great story, Curtis! Love the thought that 60 is just a number - should be no different than 51 or 46 or 73. It's all in your mind. Glad you have some great memories.
Every post I fall a little more in love with you two, I love your relationship and how you seamless follow one another, Good stuff and Hi from the Land down under...
Thanks Anne! We'll meet someday on your home turf and explore the Land Down Under!
Thank you so much!
Not a fan of sand either - you are doing great...love you posing with the bike. LOL Richard is great with you too - my hubby is the same, very helpful and kind. You Go Girl!
Just stopped in Cisco a couple weeks ago. Everytime I go through the I stop to pat homage to Kowalski.
another nice video guys enjoy be save
Thanks! Will do!
love how you both work together
What impressively great vistas to be riding in.
One bad word... not Bad Chris. FYI, “Fruitcake” is used during the holidays... and usually it’s ‘regifted.’
House on Fire is amazing... and Rich’s adventures on a Harley, proves it can be done! Thanks guys, it’s now on my bucket lists.
And the ‘Chicken & Bisquits’ looks delicious!
Thanks Randall! Love the 'fruitcake' idea!
10:21 is what makes the camping worthwhile... that and the campfires, of course.
Thanks!! 🤩
House on fire great hike. Moab is such a beautiful area.
Way glad your doing 128, after staying in the San Juan camp ground and heading to Colo we came back and did 128 and camped at Hittle bottom camp ground on 128. it was very pretty there. enjoy your next few days. Canyonlands is totally cool to ride in and Moab was full of people. I hope you do highway 24 and 12 absolute perfect riding rds. enjoy, your in motorcycle road heaven. remember if you head back in Oregon this summer I would like to hook up.
Sounds great! Yes stay tuned we do ride these roads.
Thank you, great scenery.
Very pretty scenery
Thanks, John!
Thanks.
That is some beautiful country . 👍👍
Yes indeed!😁
Love my Butler maps. Can’t beat them for motorcycling. Surprisingly many riders don’t know about them.
We agree. And we had just learned about them recently as well. Great maps, especially when you get in areas with no cell service.
UT 128 is one of my favorite rides in that area as well as the Lasalle loop! Safe rides!
WOW.........beautiful, words cannot describe. Travel safe!
Many thanks, Douglas!
My trike excels in those sandy/gravel/dirt conditions!
Stunning views! Enjoyed all of it. We travelled in that area about 20 years ago. We do need to return one day. Thanks a lot. 👍😊
Our pleasure 😊
That chocolate cup looked decadent.
Great vlog. That serendipitous camping site was so beautiful with the Colorado river and rock cliffs in the background.
Couldn't get over the cows though. Saw some walking around in last week's video. An unexpected surprise!!
Thank you for uploading.
Stay safe and see you next week.😊
Thanks
Great video again. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us. Imsomlook forward to your upload on Sunday. Rich you might want to be careful with those dirt roads you may have to get you a GS.
Thanks
This is such a great scenic area! We toured the area on the Harley in 2014 as well as rented a Jeep for a day of driving up 142 the Shafer Canyon Rod to the top to Canyon View Rd/Island In The Sky Rd then back to Moab. We camped in dead center of Moab, too!
Yes, it's such a great place to explore - so much to do. We see why that whole area is so popular.
We were just there last month (4/26-5/4) Sadly NOT on the bike. But MAN y'all are headed for some BEAUTIFUL Country!! Utah/Colorado is DEFINITELY on our riding bucket-list!! If y'all head North out of Moab, be sure to stop through Helper, UT. The town is a Nostalgia themed one, seemingly "stuck" in the 50's. There is also a VERY cool motorcycle museum called Vintage MC that is located in the old "City Garage". Absolutely MUST STOP destination. The whole town is very cool!!
Another great Vlog 👍👍, interesting to watch 2 wheel camp life in the U S of A, cheers from Geelong Australia, ❤️🦘🦘🦘
I support your motorcycle trip. I hope you are always healthy.
Thank you so much!
House on Fire looked amazing! As a Canadian I hope the border gets open soon as it's now on my bucket list!!
Love the views there, very beautiful, thanks for sharing and I can't wait til I'm out that way again!
Glad you enjoyed
You guys always make your food look good
Thanks Bradley !
You guys are so lucky to be able to do what you do. So jealous.
Thanks.
Very impressed richard with your sand riding on the harley !
The GS should be fine too.
Glad you are both happy.
You guy’s should check out Kane Springs along the river road lots of caves and Indian writings, I live here in Moab for 46 years.
Welcome to Utah...
Thank You. Its awesome
You should consider printing a camping cookbook. I’ve never seen you prepare a bad meal. I think it would be a hit.
Thanks that’s on a list
I can see why, “House on Fire,” got its name.
Yes, had never seen anything like it. So glad we went.
❤So so wishing to get away of this OT here..Would rather be riding where you both are. Guess I'll have to live vicariously through your eyes ☺️Love the scenery *bucket list!BTW: love the music, who is the singer? Ride safe and keep knees-n-breeze🏍👍
Hey guys, since you are in Utah, check out Duck Creek out of Cedar City...Chris, when it feels weird, give it gas until it becomes unwired. LOL.. Go ahead and get some scratches on it, then it doesn't matter...
We went to Cedar city for Groceries don't think we saw Duck Creek. Thanks Freddie for being here every week. Cheers.
Very cool campsite
Another great video.Thankyou for sharing.Bless you both.
Glad you enjoyed it, Michael!
No kidding you guys really got lucky with that camp spot.
Yes, we couldn't have timed it better - that's for sure.
House On Fire. a definite 10.
Absolutely!!!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching, Larry!
BLESSED!
Thanks!!
I notice your windshields sometimes look hazy. A trick I learned many years ago and use today to clean and protect my plastic windshield while at home and on long trips. I use Johnson lemon pledge furniture spray on my windshield. You have to use this brand or one that has the same ingredients. No alcohol! Obviously, this is only for light dust and smudges, soap and water otherwise. I also now use just use microfibre towels face cloth size. Spray a corner of the towel and wipe your plastic with the rest of the towel. Obviously, this is good for anything plastic and much more. This leaves a protective coat on your windshield and makes bug removal easier. The nice thing about it is you can usually find this spray almost anywhere.
Sometimes they get that way. Thanks for the tips.
My home town, always in my heart and soul. I guided on the Colorado out of Moab and also did 4 x 4 tours. You'll love being there I hope. Enjoy my friends! I'm taking care of a Hip Camp if you make it North to Provo. Sincerely The Trippy Old Hippie
Awesome thanks David.
If you two want an awesome dinner I recommend the Sunset Grill it's great food and one awesome view! Used to be owned by friends of mine, not sure if they still own it. But the food is great still. I highly recommend Dead Horse Point for a early ride or sunset ride.
Thanks for making your videos longer, we get to see more of what you see. Beautiful country!
You are welcome, Michael! We keep trying.
Amazing video. Your channel is becoming one of my favorite ones. Love the things you’re showing and I ride a Harley too. What a great combination lol.
thanks for info on stanley coffee maker
You’re welcome. I live Pressed coffee now. My favorite
If you’re going to Arches please arrive early at least before 9:00 am or late afternoon, the park will get full and the rangers will turn you around and ask you to come back at another time after sitting in line to get in. Dead horse park is really nice but Canyon lands is really good for hiking.
Thanks for the information! We didn't make it to Dead Horse State Park - will have to come back sometime.
All we have the local grocery store with awesome water and will fill your bags! Although It would be awesome to out by the camp fire and reminis!
Cheers
Another great video Chris and Rich.
Thanks so much!
How many times can u say ok? 🤣🤣way to ride young lady.👍
Thanks, Keith! 🤩
Get yourself a small battery powered camera with an sd card, place it hidden pointing at your campsite and just in case something did happen, you might have some footage of it.
Great idea - thanks for sharing!
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Game camera.
Good video guys beautiful place thanks for sharing that was awesome take care and ride safe
Thanks, Tom! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤩
Thank you for the trip !!!!
You bet!
So I had to chuckle when Chris said "only one bad word" in reference to her ride down the sandy dirt road. I guess that's why they invented Full Face Masks! Stunning video. Wish we (my Wife and I) could be there. Thanks for sharing.
I know, right?
Funny enough I have two bikes. An 1150 GS and a Fatbob and because the Harley is that much lower to the ground I find it easier to ride in the sand!! Sounds daft I know!! Love your videos take care and enjoy... Come ride in Africa sometime..
If you can freeze water, I use a 2 liter bottle. No wet mess and you can use/drink the water when it melts.
Enjoying your trip & music
Thanks so much, Bruce.
Wish we could get a cast iron skillet on our bikes. That looked delicious! Thanks for the Butler maps link!
Our pleasure! Here is the map we used
amzn.to/3ptWD5D
Nice score on the campsite. What a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing 👍 😎
You are welcome, David!
If its hot go up to the LaSalle Mtns. 80 in Moab it will be 60 up there. Just as you cross the National Park sign there is a campsite to the left that is spectacular. Looks down over Moab
so true it was chilly
Zip tie lock, eh? Looks like something I'd do. That's the first time I remember Chris sounding afraid when she was going downhill on the sand. Made my heart sympathize with her. Good editing on the 360° clips.
Yes, still getting used to the capabilities of the bike (or actually rider). Need more travel time on the dirt.
