- Hello everyone, my name is Charlie! I have a #2019 #flsb #harleydavidson #sportglide. I have been riding for 11 years. This is my first cross country road trip on a #motorcycle ! This experience was absolutely #amazing and #beautiful. I went from #southdakota , through #wyoming , did 1800 miles in Colorado, and even dipped into #newmexico. During the trip, I broke it into 8 days.
Day 1- Hermosa, South Dakota to Fort Collins, Colorado.
Day 2- Fort Collins to Summit of Pikes Peak then to Bennett, Colorado.(Thanks to my friend Soopersmoker!)
Day 3- Bennett to Pagosa Springs, Colorado
Day 4- Pagosa Springs to Telluride, then to Palisade, Colorado.
Day 5- Palisade over the worlds largest #flattopmesa The Grand Mesa, down the #milliondollarhighway, into Durango.
Day 6 & 7 I spent doing the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally, see my video here! • Four Corners Rally 2023!
Then I got a call from home, and I needed to make a quick trip back. I loaded up tent and road from Durango, Colorado, through Saguache and Fairplay, into Thornton. The next morning started off beautiful but quickly became extremely stormy weather. With wind gusts almost blowing me off the road several times, I regret I didn't film anything or even have the mind to think about doing so. It was scary and I am so thankful I made it through Wyoming. When I got home, I realized that I didn't get any of it, and I was bummed but still gratefull, and the video is already fairly long! I intend on posting full lenght videos of the Pikes Peak trip where it rained, snowed, and hailed on me! The first time I have ever had to ride when the road had visible ice on it, also above 10,000 feet! I was disoriented and it was hard to breath! I will also have full length videos of going over the Flat Top Mesa, Million Dollar Highway from Ouray to Silverton, and Treasure Falls to Pagosa Springs. I also have several other long videos I recorded that I will make with the go pro and 360 footage compiled! This motorcycle trip absolutely changed my life for the better. I had to pull over several times to cry, to take in the beauty, to try and comprehend it all. I can't tell you how blessed I felt, and how it felt like God was watching over me, and giving me safe passage. I hope you enjoyed this video, and it gave you the courage to go on your first motorcycle trip also. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Great Viddo Big Fella... Much Respect From Detroit 313... There's Nothing Like A Hog.... You're A Warrior For Riding Through Multiple States.... I Gotta Get My Confidence Up So I Could Do The Same... I've Only Been Riding For 3 Years But Love Everything About A Harley... My Wife, Family And Friends Say I'm Obsessed With Harley's... Rather Have That Addiction Than Any Other... I Have A 2022 RG Special... I Installed Pegs, Bars And Slip-Ons So Far... My Seat Is Next... I Wanna Go With Corbin ... Apologies For The Lengthly Comment... I Could Write About This Hog Life For Days... Stay Safe And Have Fun... Nice Vid👍🏾👑
All good bro! Thanks for watching. The trip was definitely worth it, I have been riding for 14 seasons now. Just rode Thailand! got a bunch of footage
@@stokeandspoke1177 Thailand 😲😲... You Mean The Country 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.... Those Memories Will Last A Life Time... Do That Shit Bro💯
Please share Semper Fi from one graybeard Marine to another. Thoroughly enjoyed following your ride.
Thank you for watching!! I’m doing SD to CA in a few weeks, video to come
@@stokeandspoke1177 Be careful in the desert. I have ridden from San Diego to Sturgis and back, rolling on I-15 and it is brutal when hot. Ride safe brother.
Another thought…depending on your route, highly recommend visiting Arches National Park…Moab is close for a night or two. Rode there in 2022 and it was spectacular.
Just came across the video. Looks like a great trip! Couple of questions: Are you using a Insta camera on the bars and how long can you get on battery life with it? What kind of ear plugs are you using? Can you still hear music with them? Thanks enjoyed video
Thanks for watching! The ear plugs are a moldable ear plug made by Radians. I can still hear with them, and sometimes I actually hear things better. The wind noise is very damaging when riding motorcycles, I actually recommend them a lot! It is a Insta360 and it records for 60+ minutes with a full charge!
Saguache is hard to know how to pronounce unless u live near there. It’s “sa-watch” is how u say it. Dont ask me why. lol just the way they pronounce it.
hahahaha Ya I met some boys down in the Four corners rally that made fun of me!! haha
