Motorcycle travel tells you a lot about yourself, especially when weather makes every mile a little bit tougher than the one before. I personally detest riding in the rain, but when you've got a place you need to be, and the only way to get there is your bike, you do what you have to do. That being said, nothing helps you assess the issues you have with your bike and gear faster than an all-day ride in bad weather. In the end tho, I've found even the very best gear will eventually be found to have an issue or two when faced with an all-day downpour, and at that point, you find out of you're a fair-weather rider or a true motorcycle adventurer. Knowing what you want, and being flexable in your route and timing make all the difference, and it's only when things get tough on the road do you learn how to plan your next trip with this knowlege in mind.
Amanda dancing around her bike in a video with brother, or running around with the tent fly behind her like she's wonder woman 14:32 it just puts a big smile on my face. Never stop being fun, silly and joyful Amanda!
Option #3 please - I like all critters. If I had to choose between cats and dogs I chose cats. They are independent and I like that. They call the shots, I can relate. Dogs are lovable and I like that too. As always, your vid is wonderful. All that rain and I love how you embraced the positives of riding in the rain.
I really appreciate you filming the actual setting up and tearing down of camp. I overthink a lot which steals time from enjoying stuff. You going through the motions and especially the drying gear part was great.
Man, you're such a trooper. I've been pushing to do more Motocamping on my trips, and I can't imagine having to pack all that stuff up fully wet in the rain, let alone riding for hours afterwards... And then you FILM IT!!! That's over-and-above work... I'm definitely going to have to start considering HipCamp! I've been seeing some great sites out there from it. KOA cabins will get a second look as well. We love MotoCamp Nerd. I'm enjoying this latest clump of vids! Once again, as usual... A lovely, lovely video filled with amazing images and ambience. I've been really drawn to your editorial and editing style since the very beginning, and they've just been getting subtly better over the years. I aspire to be as fluid and compelling-yet-relaxing in my own work. We have lizards. Never thought we'd be enamored by scaly things, but they're adorable, affectionate little creatures in their own right... Just have to get to know them.
Thank you for your Buffalo comments. We have wonderful gems within the city, and throughout the region. Next time you visit, please reach out, I would be happy to show you those gems, Frank L, Wright sites, Sullivan office building, a bank designed by world trade center creator and a park system by Olmstead, who created central park in NY city. And so much more to share. Be safe out there.
Amanda. I’m a 70yr old fart. But I love your relaxed style and positive outlook. I recognise there must be tough times you go thru but you font dwell on them. Thanks for letting us ride with you. Regards. Adrian.
Hi Amanda. For truly waterproof gloves I use kayaking gloves. A pair stays in my panniers for those occasions. A bit hard to put on, especially with wet hands, and not well insulated so the backs of your hands may feel cold, but the heated grips alleviate some of that cold. Safe travels.
I appreciate your comments about riding in the rain. I think getting out on a rainy day on two wheels, moto or bicycle, is a great thing to do.. It's a little less convenient to do when you're on a tour, but you get through it and like you do, find the silver lining. Ride on!
sucks about the poor weather in Michigan. I like the Holland and Saugatuck area, there is also a good car/motorcycle museum called the Gilmore museum in that area.
Dang, you are hard core. I envy you're adventurous spirit. I'm watching closely how you deal with everything nature brings! I have over 100k miles on my bike just by local rides everyday, but havent ventured more than 600 miles away.......YET! Your videos inspire me..
Rain is part of adventure riding but, when I am home and it's raining I stay in. Let's face it rain makes it hard and cold. Now at 63 of age cold has become the enemy to my bones. Decreases my mobility to the point it can be unsafe for me to ride. That said, my most cherished Memorie was at Devils Tower KOA, back in September of 21, it was lightly raining but I watched Close Encounters on their outdoor TV. Thunder and lightning started halfway through the movie and the remainder of the night flashing behind and all-around Devils Tower. I do not have the words to express how beyond awesome that experience was. Animal person here. We always have had dogs with us, some cats, tropical fish, horses and mules. They are family members not owned by us.
I ride an e-bike so it hardly compares, but I just gotta say I really enjoy your video’s. I think you’ve got such a calm, pleasant aura about you. I’m guessing a little due to not having a job you’re tied to like a ball & chain. Keep livin’ the dream, girl! I wish I would have known when you came thru Ohio. I’m near Cleveland…
Nice to see some of my old stomping grounds along your ride. Spent a lot of time in that area of Adrian and roads east from there. Definitely come back and experience what Michigan has to offer. The west coast up towards Traverse City is a great ride. You can't go wrong with anything on the Upper Peninsula, my preference is the Copper Harbor area. I know the chances are small, but if you find yourself in the area around Frankenmuth Michigan and need anything, please feel free to reach out. Safe travels
I just found your channel. Pretty cool seeing you camping most of the way. I'm looking at getting a park pass to camp at all of the state and federal parks. Stay safe
Cat person 100% I won't disrespect your dog but they just are not my favorite. I go up to Seattle from time to time and they have some toll bridges and some weird toll lanes that I don't understand really but if you go on a toll bridge they just send you a bill basically and you pay it. I works for me. I have also figured out how to program AVOID toll roads into my phone when I go to Florida for the weirdo campout which helps me avoid the tolls and the rental company grift for their convenience fee to avoid the tolls :)
THE RAIN omg!! but I'm super excited to see you travel through my backyard (new england!) as part of this - love watching your videos, inspires me to plan more road/camping trips in the future :) I'm on a similar mission to finish the lower 48 but it's mostly the middle/middle west/west states I need to finish (colorado, utah, idaho, montana, dakotas, kansas, etc..)
Ez pass works through the east coast and all the way through Illinois. Virtually everywhere there are tolls in the northern states. I used an Illinois Ipass to travel everywhere east.
There is nothing to help you find any weaknesses in your set up like inclement weather. While none of us like it, it should be a mandatory par of your riding. I purposely subjected myself to a hard downpour on my last trip. Not because I liked riding in it. But because sooner or later you will have to do it not by choice. I found a gap had opened in the seam of my riding boot that proved to soak me to the skin of my foot. It sucked. But I was happy to have found out voluntarily. I also found out just how dry you can stay based on your speed and gear adjustments. Whether you know it or not Amanda, you do inspire.
@9:45 ahhh dry and sunny... @14:30 I've missed the dance. End screen: DEFINITELY a dog person. I'm friendly/respectful to all animals but I am leery of cats and horses for good reason. I do think they are beautiful, I will give pets and pleasing scratches but dogs are just the clear favorite.
I traveled through New England in the summer of 2023 and the toll situation was frustrating because it seems antiquated and inconvenient to have to stop and pay cash. I appreciated the toll roads that simply scanned my license plate and sent me a bill. I used to think I was a dog person, but then we got a kitten a few months ago for my son. I guess I’m just an animal person. However, because I made a big deal about not wanting a cat, I can’t admit to my wife and kids that I kind of like the cat.
We are animal people! We have a couple birds, a dog, and a tortoise at present. We love cats as well but I am really allergic to long hair cats. I aspire to getting a miniature highland cow when I retire along with some goats for the property. We've had goats, rabbits, gerbils and even hermit crabs in the past. Basically, if it is in need of a home, we have had it!
Yup - I can identify with at least two annoyances: Trying to put wet hands into motorcycle gloves can truly be a pain. Aren't any of the gear manufacturers capable of making liners that don't bunch up and stick to one's skin? Maybe that's an opportunity to do an extensive review on cold-weather, water-proof gloves. 🙂 I can also identify with trying to get to sleep in a motel room. Sometimes the accommodations don't feature the most comfy of beds, and the noises from other moteling clients have kept me awake or awakened me in the wee hours. Normally I'm up late downloading megabytes to gigabytes worth of video clips and organizing files from different cameras. However, on a trip like that one, a hot shower and a decent meal can revive the will to ride on! LOL
Animal person! I've got a cat, a dog, and 18 chickens. Great video! I don't much like riding in the rain, but I'll have to agree that the worst part is the whole putting gloves on wet hands thing. The right gear can usually keep you from getting wet but eventually you end up taking gloves off for fuel or food and putting them back on is infuriating
Great video. In your gear description you link Forma boots. But, I swore your boots were using the BOA system. LOL, am I smoking crack? Forma does not seem to offer that system. Thanks and Happy New Year
Greasy spoon restaurants with waitresses who call you “hon” and really mean it are the best. I do so love your videos, Amanda 😎 Also, I’ve mostly been a dog person all my life, but I really do love all animals 😎
But all that money helps a small time farmer and his family, and I think it's worth every penny. ☺️ If I could I would only camp on small farms and ranches all across the US. (Ps. In comparison the other options for camping in the area ranged from $45 to 70, sooo ya I picked the farm lol)
If I had known you were in the area, in the rain I would have offered you shelter! I live about 30 miles south of Adrian, MI. Then I saw that you took Route 2 when you got into Ohio and you had been like 5 miles away. Next time you are welcome to stop if you need a free place to crash.
Animal person!! Interesting about the toll roads and EZ pass. I wonder where you'd mount it if you didn't have a windscreen? 🤔Something else to research! Plans are in motion to fly to New England area early next fall, buy a motorcycle and ride it home. The bike models I'm considering may not have a windscreen.
Lived and road in Boston for a few years - I kept the ezpass transponder in the map pouch of my tank bag. Worked fine, but of course you’d need to figure out a tank bag on the new bike. The ezpass readers are mounted rather high, so generally anything facing up or forward should work, so maybe a tail bag would also work.
I am an animal person. Animals seem to be attracted to me. My sister has a well trained German short haired Pointer. When she sees me, she goes full captain Kirk spastic mode until I take her for a run around the farm with my Kubota RTV.
I use Ice Armor gauntlet gloves for riding in cold, wet weather. They're designed for ice fishing. Tough construction, totally waterproof, and easy on-off with wet hands. Also a fraction of the cost for "motorcycle" gloves.
I'm glad they work for you! I will note though that motorcycle gloves cost as much as they do because they are tested for abrasion resistance in case of a crash on pavement ☺️👍 so personally, I'll stick with my motorcycle gloves.
Where? The Hipcamps or the KOA? lol The Michigan Hipcamp had a portable toilet a short walk from my tent site The Ohio Hipcamp I don't remember tbh KOA Camping cabins don't have bathrooms but there's always multiple bathrooms at all the KOAs I've been to one near the office, and one in the back half of the lot that also has the showers and laundry.
Did a cross country in 2000 on a 1974 Honda CB 750 KO , soul changing experience. Be safe, Happy New Year , happy travels!

Option #3 please - I like all critters. If I had to choose between cats and dogs I chose cats. They are independent and I like that. They call the shots, I can relate. Dogs are lovable and I like that too.
As always, your vid is wonderful. All that rain and I love how you embraced the positives of riding in the rain.
I really appreciate you filming the actual setting up and tearing down of camp. I overthink a lot which steals time from enjoying stuff. You going through the motions and especially the drying gear part was great.
The cat resting on the bike seat is classic. My cat loves to lay on my bike seat and wait for me to come out and get on the bike. Great video Amanda!
I can truly sympathize with moto-traveling in the rain. Thanks for taking me along.
Man, you're such a trooper. I've been pushing to do more Motocamping on my trips, and I can't imagine having to pack all that stuff up fully wet in the rain, let alone riding for hours afterwards... And then you FILM IT!!! That's over-and-above work...
I'm definitely going to have to start considering HipCamp! I've been seeing some great sites out there from it. KOA cabins will get a second look as well.
We love MotoCamp Nerd.
I'm enjoying this latest clump of vids! Once again, as usual... A lovely, lovely video filled with amazing images and ambience. I've been really drawn to your editorial and editing style since the very beginning, and they've just been getting subtly better over the years. I aspire to be as fluid and compelling-yet-relaxing in my own work.
We have lizards. Never thought we'd be enamored by scaly things, but they're adorable, affectionate little creatures in their own right... Just have to get to know them.
The cabins seem ok, but the tents look to wet and cold.😍😉
Grand Island KOA is way cool, Niagra Falls is worth the visit🙂
Thank you for your Buffalo comments. We have wonderful gems within the city, and throughout the region. Next time you visit, please reach out, I would be happy to show you those gems, Frank L, Wright sites, Sullivan office building, a bank designed by world trade center creator and a park system by

I admire your perseverance.
Thank you very much 😊
Great video. Thank you very well, done as always..
Thanks!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you very much for your support!
Amanda. I’m a 70yr old fart. But I love your relaxed style and positive outlook. I recognise there must be tough times you go thru but you font dwell on them.
Thanks for letting us ride with you.
Regards. Adrian.
What a very nice ride. Sorry you didn't have more sunshine. Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing, Amanda. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I love your videos Amanda, so relaxing and scenic, and great music. Keep up the great work!
Rain always makes it interesting on a scoot. Be safe on the road. Great video nice camping spot.

Lentil chili! Grabbed your cook book to look up the recipe - looks yummy
Yay 😊 thank you so much, I hope you like it as much as me!
Hi Amanda! It might help some of us to mention what season you are in for the video so we are less concerned for your well being.😉
Leaves on the trees suggest early autumn. You must be much like me, … a worry wort parent.
The date is in the corner of the maps above my mileage 👌 ☺️
(Also the first episode in the series did say when I started the trip)
@@AstheMagpieFlies Missed it. :) Have a Happy New Year!
Getting a hotel once in a while is smart….travel safe.👍
Your wonderful videos are helping me get through the long, cold winter, while my bike hibernates, waiting for the snow to melt. Also, animal person.
I love this video Amanda!!!! Thank you again!!!! I adore you and the way you present your videos!!!! Hope to see you on the road someday!!!! 😊❤
Always appreciate a rain fly dance. Cats are a bonus! 😻😻😻
Hello new to your channel, nice to see a vid with my home area in it ( leg between Adrian and Sandusky) thanks for taking us with you on your trip.
Such a nice video! I really enjoyed it. And the music choices + nature sounds... Well done! Looking forward to the next one :)
Thank you very much!
sucks about the poor weather in Michigan. I like the Holland and Saugatuck area, there is also a good car/motorcycle museum called the Gilmore museum in that area.
Enjoyed this one! Glad you did too. Bet the rain can be a let down for sure.
So great to see your face! Subscribed and liked. Great work Amanda

You are very descriptive when you narrate your video. You draw pictures with your words, bringing us along on your journey. Excellent Cool 😎
Thanks for the video. Enjoy the way you travel❤❤❤
This one was wonderful. 😊 The cat footage was fun. You have a way of reminding me to be grateful that I can motocamp/mototravel. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I'm Excited Jersey, it looks like you went right past my town, which is cool!

Totally an animal person. Great video, even though I'm sure the weather was "marginal" for a lot of the riding. Thanks Amanda!
Like the ifea of including prices of stays! Very helpful. New subsciber.😊
Blueberry pie is my favorite 😍
That view of downtown Cleveland from Edgewater Park is pretty stunning isn't it?
wow, is raining there too .... we in Malaysia also heavy rain and flood is happening too. Ride safe
Animal person, dog lover, cat tolerator. Great video. You traveled through my part of Ohio. If you did this in the spring, yup, rain.
I just found your channel. Pretty cool seeing you camping most of the way. I'm looking at getting a park pass to camp at all of the state and federal parks. Stay safe
Happy New Year from Sweden❤😊
Happy new year!!
Love your video so far
i'd go I'm use to the rain and cold. Would love to travel across the country on my motorcycle '
You camped in Portage County! I’m from Suffield, the lower west corner township of the county. But I left there in 1981.
Can I just say, i miss the sound of rain, while I'm in a tent
Howdy ma’am.

Grew up in the western NY area. You took the skyway bridge which is crazy up in the air.
There is indeed something about riding in the rain when you have tour gear on and are largely immune to it. Welcome to Ohio :)
It’s such a unique feeling! Thanks for the welcome. 😊

💯
That “hill” that didn’t look like a hill on camera was a BIG HILL! 😅
Dog person here - cats not so much - although we do feed a stand-of stray - which our new puppy is very curious off!
Dogs, horses and a beloved barn cat! Does that make me an animal person? :)

New subscriber, great relaxing informative video 😊
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
We are animal people! We have a couple birds, a dog, and a tortoise at present. We love cats as well but I am really allergic to long hair cats. I aspire to getting a miniature highland cow when I retire along with some goats for the property. We've had goats, rabbits, gerbils and even hermit crabs in the past.

Hotel stays are so expensive! Take advantage of all the amenities lol
Hey , if you are passing through Long Island New Your, I can join you on a ride, also got some spots you can Camp or chill
Great video. In your gear description you link Forma boots. But, I swore your boots were using the BOA system. LOL, am I smoking crack? Forma does not seem to offer that system.
Thanks and Happy New Year
Oh no sorry! Good catch this trip I had the Revit Explorer Boots 😊
Animal person! Dog preference though...since my dog doesn't like cats. Love your videos!!!
Happy New Year ! { animal }
All animals (except I'm allergic to cats... don't tell the cats. I just enjoy them from afar.)
Awesome video!
Greasy spoon restaurants with waitresses who call you “hon” and really mean it are the best. I do so love your videos, Amanda 😎 Also, I’ve mostly been a dog person all my life, but I really do love all animals 😎
I know what you mean about those waitresses - they're the best! 😊
Great video... $47.00 to pitch a tent in a field behind a barn. Jeez!
But all that money helps a small time farmer and his family, and I think it's worth every penny. ☺️
If I could I would only camp on small farms and ranches all across the US.
(Ps. In comparison the other options for camping in the area ranged from $45 to 70, sooo ya I picked the farm lol)
Nice

Thought that I was a dog person, until we got a cat 10 years ago, rwalised I'm a pet person 😊
Aw I love that ❤️
how i wish i can do this kind of trip on a motorcycle 😣🥺🥺
Dish gloves would help in a pinch and it looks like you have small hands so gloves my size would probably fit over your normal ones
Animal person, especially when I'm just visiting.
I am an animal person. Animals seem to be attracted to me. My sister has a well trained German short haired Pointer. When she sees me, she goes full captain Kirk spastic mode until I take her for a run around the farm with my Kubota RTV.

I’m an animal person but partial to dogs, raccoons, and cows. My family does have 5 cats though…
I saw everything at that camp kitchen and thought how tf you travel with all that on the bike 🤦♂️
😅 yaa that's not all mine lol
I'm an animal person. Especially opossums
My wife was wondering about the bathroom situation...
Where?
The Hipcamps or the KOA? lol
The Michigan Hipcamp had a portable toilet a short walk from my tent site
The Ohio Hipcamp I don't remember tbh
KOA Camping cabins don't have bathrooms but there's always multiple bathrooms at all the KOAs I've been to one near the office, and one in the back half of the lot that also has the showers and laundry.
Animal person, I like them and for the most part they like me.
Una domanda: negli Stati Uniti il "camping libero" e' permesso?
In Europa in alcuni stati si in alcuni no.
