I lost my father years ago. I never got to do anything like this with him. I regret that. We never made the time. Seeing you and your son brought tears to my eyes wishing that my father and I would have taken the time to have done this. Thanks for a great story.
Anthony, I appreciate your super nice message. Yes, it is a blessing that I had the chance of doing this adventure with my oldest son, specially that he is a meried, has a wife, two beautiful daughters, my grand daughters, and a heavy schedule work. Anthony, I am sure you had other beautiful experiences with your father. And if you have the opportunity of accomplishing with some obe you love, this type of adventure I fully recommend it. 4 years ago I did I great motorcycle trip with my only daughter, from Mexico all the way to the artic circle north Fairbanks Alaska and back, just her and me on my BMW. An experience that we will never forget. Again thank you. And wish you the best.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my brother years ago and regret not having a motorcycle while he was alive so I could ride with him. Some how this video felt like it was me and my bro on an adventure.
David, I appreciate your comment, and yes it is a blessing to spend time with our sons, for sure it is the nicest part.

What a wonderful trip for you and your son. It is very rare to have a video so much detail and specific advice. I very much appreciate the effort you put in to making it. Thanks very much.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Good tips too (soft vs hard paniers, tools, anti-bear spray!, accommodation, etc.), and what I think is really top: among the many TAT and RTW videos I've watched, you are the first guy who does this journey on a motorcycle and who does not feel just 'lucky' to be there or 'proud' of his/her achievement, but who goes one step further (or higher): at 13:35 you show that you are grateful to the Lord for that trip, for the beauty of nature -- His creation. God bless!
Wuauu my friend, I am honored to receive such a nice complement, and yes, after having cancer, and an open heart surgery, I really feel blessed on having the opportunity of making such a beautiful trip, specially with my oldest son, the other two could not make it because of work duties. The least I can say. Is thank you lord for such a blessing. Regards and thank you for your beautiful message.

I still remember a trip we did back in the early 90s together with him and my brother, both of whom have passed on. Maybe one day I will get to ride in Mexico, I will look you up. Wishing you the best Javier.

@@javiermexico1065 OH, wow! I will definitely look for and watch the video. My daughter's are 12 and 9, I think the 9 year old is more adventurous so I believe she will be the one to do this one day. I looked forward to the trip with my Dad because I figured it would be a great bonding session for us. The trip would have also created lifetime memories. I still remember a trip we did back in the early 90s together with him and my brother, both of whom have passed on. Maybe one day I will get to ride in Mexico, I will look you up. Wishing you the best Javier.
Great father & son adventure, and thanks for all the tips Javier. Cheers!
Pegasus Appreciate your comment. Yes it is a blessing to make this trips with my son.

@@javiermexico1065 anytime you want to meet in colorado or moab, I would love to ride copper canyon, but not sure if the cartel boys want any gringos... :)
@@RetiredAtenPilot My friend. It is very sad that Mexico has been satanized with this drug cartels issues. It is a very sad situation. Although I have not had any bad experience, it is an issue that always comes to my mind.
Colorado and Utah a duoer great places to ride. We had a blast of a trip riding in your territory.
