I understand why I really like your videos. Because you know how to get a very good shot, sir Sterling. Thanks for your video. Admiration from Philippines.
Awesome trip through Arizona. I'm glad you managed your trip during the onset of covid. Who would know we are this far down the road and still with covid-19 blah blah ! Your filmed trips have soothed my aching GS A heart. Gotta love the Beemers. 🍻 cheers
Dear Sterling this is my second round viewing your video and I naver got board of it. Seeing the majestic scenery of the back country. I had some experience of staying in several state in US when I was working for Hewlett Parckard. Most of the time I was in Palo Alto. Thanks for the video I relly enjoy it.
I'm 66, and your videos inspire me to hold on to my dreams to do something similar, to start from Florida to ride the Continental divide into Canada and all of that type of adventure riding. Thanks for sharing your adventure riding.
It could end up to be the best decision you could ever make. Age does not matter jus be careful in the Continental Divide. There are some more difficult places. Have a fantastic trip. Cheers
I am truly enjoying these vids! Perfect slice when you don't have 30 mins to spend watching something. I was trying to pass through Monument Valley in August but it was closed. A great place to camp just past Black Bear (that is one of my personal favorites) is Valley of the Gods just past Mexican Hat. BTW, love your style with the box wine! Never thought of that. Rather warm wine than warm beer :)
Another great video and inspiration for my next motorcycle road trip in the USA. I hope to have the honor of meeting you someday in October this year. 😊
Nice videoing and drone shots. Enjoy and be safe. My wife and I stayed in that same sleepy campground. We came in after dark and awoke to that amazing scenery. Thanks for reminding me.
Absolutely wonderful video. At some point in the not too distant future, I really need to visit the US, hire myself a bike and see some of these places with my own eyes.
Man you are amazing! Love your videos! In june this year I'm starting a roadtrip around the States, my plan is to cover 12 000 miles in 2 months. I'm Coming from Europe and I learned a lot about camping in the States watching your videos. Thanks!
Stunning scenery, seeing this blanks out all the riots, coronavirus and political issues and just makes the US look so natural and amazing. I'm also very impressed in the boxed wine, well done good sir, well done indeed!
Delicious production Sterling! Enriched, entertaining, and well paced narrative! Your episodes unfold like that first cup of camping coffee hitting the soul in the early AM. In 2020 we did two New Mexico rides, one mostly pavement and one on the NMBDR. Your stories resonate with the emotion of travel by moto. Respect.
I've been watching along since video 1 and this is great. I've pretty much ridden solo over the years so it's nice to see it from another riders perspective. I rode full dresser Harley's, then discovered the GSA from "Long Way Around", used my WR 250r to ride the TAT, but I'm now considering the KTM 390 or 790 bikes. The BMW was by far the best all around bike I've ever driven but at 54 years old I'm looking to go smaller and lighter because I find that's where I have the most fun and it protects some of those injuries that I can no longer ignore. cheers
Great job on the series Sterling, really enjoying the footage and story. Been a couple of years since I was out on the road solo. Thanks for bringing us along
Fantastic footage and great feeling of sharing your experiences. I came across your channel today and I have really enjoyed the videos so far. I love the big landscapes and how your centre on the adventure as the vehicle to take us all into your trip.
Did a solo ride out that way in October from Tenn and the nation was on lockdown in October, about ran out of gas but a gas station actually had 1 pump left on. Barely made it off the reservation. Sadly Monument Valley was shut down as well.
I know those areas well. Not sure if you know this but camping is allowed in the Valley of Gods. It seemed like you were pretty close it. Also, use a carribeaner and clip your help using D-rings to hand guards, tank bag or tail bag. Just a thought. Fantastic ad always.
I look forward to hearing more about your choice of motorcycles. I went from a R 1200 GS to a F 850 GSA. It's funny how our needs and tastes change over time.
@@davereinhart9933 Sadly no "real" Lally's Loop this year. We were supposed to ride Southern Utah and Arizona, (some of the same areas Sterling is riding) but COVID cancelled those plans. Hoping next year we can try it again. I'll keep you informed. Such a small world that I know Tim.
I’m only 3 episodes in and I’m hooked I congratulate you on your dedication to film on your trip. Looking forward to see the rest I feel like I’m there in the trip with you! You are giving me the inspiration to try Moto camping and enjoy the outdoors more!
Your helmet issues seem to be because set it on top of the handlebars, regardless if the mirror is inside, I have had it happen several times to me as well. I now put it on the foot peg opposite of the kickstand. If it happens to drop, its only 6". Great video however!
Wow! Love this can't wait to head out west with my Ural. Your right solo riding is the your own responsibility. I am glad to found this. Keep up the good work and be safe out there. And hope to see you on the road.
Videos are too short I have to get up walk over to TV and tap my I pad to change ,so I never watch videos that are less than 30 min or thereabouts. But I do enjoy your longer ones. Thanks for doing them very nice.
Ha! I camped there before. They didn't have the little camper back then. Some guy would come buy and shake your tent. Too bad you can't ride a motorcycle in the Monument Valley Park anymore. It was a yearly stop for me on the way to Moab or the western slope. It's their back forty so it their rules. For a decent placebo hit Valley of the Gods just past Mexican hat.
I started with the first episode might end up binge watching the entire series. Great content. Really liked the goal of the trip explained in the previous video 👍
You are truly at filmography...perhaps the best in this genre...and really really good narration and editing too..love your videos. Yes I want to argue with you some times (like the 1250gs being the best...lol) and damn dude, don’t ever put your helmet on your mirror (although it’s so freakin convenient I know)...but you are the best at this from what I’ve watched...I mean you’re shots are breathtaking, I could only wish to capture that kind of footage...and you’re so likable too...I hope you get millions of views...thank you!!!
And I should proofread before hitting send...lol. Also, hammocks kinda suck out west...definitely a great thing east of the Mississippi....but out west...free standing tents...although when you get into the Rockies it might not be bad...
I love this series, but the MSF Ridercoach in me cringe when the helmet fell off the bike, cracked, and was put back up so it could fall again. I always keep mine low down so that can’t happen.
Great video. Love the desert. Di you really have your hammock connected to your bike? How did you do it and does it work. We always have to tent camp out there. Thanks
Yes, I did connect it to my bike once or twice. It was precarious to say the least, and you really have to be make sure that the bike is solid. I wedged a log under the bike to make sure it did not tip over.
Love the series so far. One question you haven't addressed yet is how you're charging all of your equipment. Are you charging through the bike? Are you using any kind of inverter? Thanks!
You are out there camping by yourself and I see no one around but you show a camping fee. Who do you pay the money to? Do you leave it under a rock, bush or put it in a box? Very beautiful scenery and peaceful riding solo. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for safe travels from Michigan
My bike adventure is to leave the city and end up in a commercial resort after 5 hrs of riding. I doubt I have enough balls to do this camping in the place I am in

Nice video!!!! Beautiful 😍 u have my support
I understand why I really like your videos. Because you know how to get a very good shot, sir Sterling. Thanks for your video. Admiration from Philippines.
Monument Valley needs to be on every ADV rider's list.
Amazing images. The GS is a tool for you equal to your camera. 📷
Wow. Beautiful country. The oranges and reds contrast with my home turf of the Pacific Northwest. Thanks!
What a great new series. Love the short episodes! Makes it easy to squeeze in some virtual adventure in the middle of the day.
Great...love the drone shots in particular. Monument Valley at dusk is beautiful!!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.👍
What a great place to camp!! Wow, outstanding views. I would love it there.
really nice, viewable chunks of vids,- and so amazing beautiful..! Thanks.
Many thanks!
Awesome trip through Arizona. I'm glad you managed your trip during the onset of covid. Who would know we are this far down the road and still with covid-19 blah blah ! Your filmed trips have soothed my aching GS A heart. Gotta love the Beemers. 🍻 cheers
Love that parting shot, it’s all gorgeous but the sunset with the trees... perfect. Thank you

Best adventure motorcycle ride between tucson and Los Angeles
Excellent and thank you for sharing your adventure.
Loved Monument Valley on a bike! Hunted down the road from Forrest Gump (I think I'm tired now). Amazing side roads. Loving your narration
Black Box is great for camping. Love the series
This is simply awesome and thank you!
Loving it, this is what adventure motorcycling is all about. Thanks for being out there!

By the way, I never drink warm beer - I always use a hydro flask to keep it cold!
@@SterlingNoren LOL, I saw that and told my buddy just today, why didn't we ever think of that.
Amazing ride and photos and you take it to another level.
Stay safe
Another great video and inspiration for my next motorcycle road trip in the USA.
I hope to have the honor of meeting you someday in October this year. 😊
Please do!
Very impressive solo travel . Like your exspnations and respect for others.
Nice videoing and drone shots. Enjoy and be safe. My wife and I stayed in that same sleepy campground. We came in after dark and awoke to that amazing scenery. Thanks for reminding me.

Love this episodes my friend. Your adventures really inject the adrenaline needed to hit the road beyond the gravel.
Cool Bike! 🏕🗻🏔🏘🏞🏜
Great video mate, monument valley is a spectacular looking place
Amazing glad I found these videos
WOW only gets better. We are planning our AZ ride.
Magnificent Arizona, thanks for sharing. Brought back many happy memories.
Stunning scenery, seeing this blanks out all the riots, coronavirus and political issues and just makes the US look so natural and amazing. I'm also very impressed in the boxed wine, well done good sir, well done indeed!
Really beautiful footage! Of My favorite part of the country!
Been wanting to do this with my '09 KLR650. Inspirational. Thx.

Great series. Very interesting to ride along with you.🙏🏻
That's some beautiful scenery! I'm really enjoying this series. Thanks.

Great job on the series Sterling, really enjoying the footage and story. Been a couple of years since I was out on the road solo. Thanks for bringing us along
Awesome landscapes, thanks for sharing and ride safe!
I have got to get back down to that area. Last time I was there was in the mid 80s driving truck.
Outstanding
Thanks Sterling, these films are wonderful to watch and a ton of work on your part. Much appreciated.
Excellent video, like I'm watching a documentary travel tv journey 👍
Fantastic footage and great feeling of sharing your experiences. I came across your channel today and I have really enjoyed the videos so far. I love the big landscapes and how your centre on the adventure as the vehicle to take us all into your trip.

Great series! Thank you. Really enjoying your trip! Great cinematography and very professional editing!
Did a solo ride out that way in October from Tenn and the nation was on lockdown in October, about ran out of gas but a gas station actually had 1 pump left on. Barely made it off the reservation. Sadly Monument Valley was shut down as well.
Now that's how you self isolate, excellent work my friend. Love the video and commentary. Safe travels.
Looks like a very fun trip! Hope to see you in the wind sometime!!!
I know those areas well. Not sure if you know this but camping is allowed in the Valley of Gods. It seemed like you were pretty close it. Also, use a carribeaner and clip your help using D-rings to hand guards, tank bag or tail bag. Just a thought. Fantastic ad always.
Good idea - I often leave a carabiner attached to my tank bag just for the helmet.
nice portuguese Helmet, (NEXX) nice landscapes
I look forward to hearing more about your choice of motorcycles. I went from a R 1200 GS to a F 850 GSA. It's funny how our needs and tastes change over time.
Hi Dave, this is a great series so far, right?
@@tightline8164 Great series indeed! Looking forward to each episode.
@@tightline8164 No Lally loop this year? Perhaps next year I can join you if life gets back to normal.

Great work, outstanding scenes and cuts! .. Very well made! Have a safe ride and stay healthy!
Great video and spectacular view of earth landscapes.
Sterling your videos are addicting! I’ve seen this series like 4 times. Keep up the good work and keep putting out great content!

I have been to that area a couple of times and love it. Thanks! Just Subscribed...
Awesome! Thank you!
Loving this trip. Hello from Australia
Great footage!
Wow! Love this can't wait to head out west with my Ural. Your right solo riding is the your own responsibility. I am glad to found this. Keep up the good work and be safe out there. And hope to see you on the road.

that early morning slight confusion, 😉.
Like from Brazil...👏👏👏
I have a 650gs, cool to hear you had one for 12 years! I can barely pick that one up. I have no idea how people lift their 1200s while solo
Sir. You are my favourite.
Thanks for cool video enjoyed you talkin about your motorcycles $20 seems like rip off for that campsite but anyway great video thanks
Nice!!
I caught the little container of Black Box.......I'm in trouble now.
I love this series, but the MSF Ridercoach in me cringe when the helmet fell off the bike, cracked, and was put back up so it could fall again. I always keep mine low down so that can’t happen.

Outanding series! Question - what are you using for a windscreen?
Great video. Love the desert. Di you really have your hammock connected to your bike? How did you do it and does it work. We always have to tent camp out there. Thanks

Thanks - Nobody showed up to collect so it was free this time. Greetings in Michigan - I was born and raised there in Grand Haven!
Were you able to see Canyon de Chelly or was it closed because of COVID? That was going to be part of my cancelled ride too.
It was closed because of Covid. They take it very seriously on the reservations.
What drone camera do you use? The drone has auto tracking while you ride? And awesome videos! Super cool stuff!
I had a Mavic Pro and then a Mavic Air 2. They have some limited auto-tracking but you have to be careful!
Maybe show a map and mark on it where you started and where your going . It will give people a better idea where you are at in the world .
Are those the AX41 tires? Any punctures?
My bike adventure is to leave the city and end up in a commercial resort after 5 hrs of riding. I doubt I have enough balls to do this camping in the place I am in
Where is this place exactly?? A short road with monnument valley back??
How often have you come across venomous bugs and snakes, and mountain lion?
Not often.
@@SterlingNoren excellent! I’m moving out there on the bike next year
6:05 mmmm......Sake
Hmm, firewater on the rez gets you big heap trouble, belagana.
How do you charge up your devices? How many miles can you drive on 1 tank of your motorcycle?
