If you think you're too short for an adventure bike, or you're stuck in a case of the "I can'ts," I hope Jocelin Snow can inspire you the way she did for me here th-cam.com/video/-yCGAE7ihY8/w-d-xo.html
I love the acceleration of the big adv's, but the 250 & smaller bikes suit me better. The tall seat & footpeg height are nice in the woods & around rocks. I'm definitely not too short, old & worn out maybe!
You have such a great adventurous spirit. You just won’t be deferred by height or simple physical limitations. Your mind is your weapon against that stuff. That is inspiring in itself. It cool to watch you try things that appear difficult or a bit scary. Cant wait to see what you do next. My daughter and I love watching your channel
We’ve got a string of upper 30s and mid 40s coming up. Sad that sounds warm but it is compared to what we have had the last couple of weeks. I hope most of our remaining snow melts and the roads get dried off.
Originally from Cleveland area but have been in Lake Las Vegas for the past decade. My experience with snow is looking a Mt Charleston while riding every.single.day …I hope you enjoyed the Mojave!!
To answer your question of why I started watching your channel, you are an inspiration to my 17 year old daughter who since dad bought his sportster has shown interest in wanting to ride too. But she is a tall very skinny girl who can't pick the sportster up off its kick stand. Watching you do the stuff you do on all kinds of bikes is helping her build confidence that she can do it too. Thank you.
Ohhhhhh my goodness. You have outdone yourself!!!!! OUTSTANDING 😍👏 I am actually speechless because this video was THAT good. You have a serious gift, Carolyn for making movies that inspire and awe the viewer ♥️ Thank you so much!
Girl you are just killing it. Your collaborations with Jerry, Greg and my personal hero, Jocelin Snow, have been awesome. You have been on a tear of out of your comfort zone riding and I just love it. Please keep it up.
I’m so jealous, that looks so much fun and challenging. You had your mishaps but came out a better rider in the end! Ride safe and keep on inspiring others!
Been living in Vegas since 03. I had a drz 400s for 5 years and rode quite a bit in the desert. It is beautiful ! Now it was also a lot of learning cuz been strictly street, long distance rider I lacked the skills for dirt. Kudos for taking such a big bike in the desert, the trails didn't seem to bad but still with all the loose terrain... If we get more rain during the winter, go back in the desert in Spring and you will see a lots of different flowers.
Hi Doodle, this is one brilliant video. My riding days may be long over, but I was as excited as you sounded, riding this terrain, and watching the amazing GoPro footage, I felt right at the heart of it!! It was great to see so many familiar faces along with you on this trip too! I think "Adventure" has become your middle name, and your on the beginning of a long and winding road, and I'm so thrilled that you're taking me along with you!
You go girl. I'm so Jelly. I'm so glad you got the opportunity to come out west. To give you some positive motivation, I will say that I would not fall as graceful as you did. Riding a heavy bike is doable. But you'll realize after, doing it for awhile is "Yes I can do it, but do I really want to own such a big bike," You definitely made me appreciate my Tiger 850 sport much more. You looked awesome mounting that 550 lb beast of a Harley. You live by the motto "Don't tell me I can't do it, because I will." Live the Dream. Great Vid.
Between you and me - getting stuck in a crack and an incline meaning I needed help getting a Road King off the kickstand my last trip... been thinking about that :"D
Wow, brings back memories of my Enduro days. I think I still have the skill, but definitely not the stamina to do that at 83 years old. But we always can dream!
I'm just about 79 and I have ridden bikes for some time. Riding on gravel takes wisdom and experience and so do mountain curves. Get the learning and knowledge then you are more confident and when the fear is gone you can enjoy the ride.
I've toured and camped the Mojave in both car & on motorcycle. Love the area and the natural beauty. Thanks for a great video and your self-deprecating humor. We need more of both. Ride safe, girl!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. We rode thru the Mojave desert on our we back to Alabama. The display on my Ultra said 109 degrees, even at 70mph. Wow, What A Ride!
I've been watching your videos since you had that single cylinder Suzuki thumper. You've come a long way Doodle. You were an inspiration for me to start riding. Really love seeing how good you've gotten at shooting and editing. Keep it up!
Every spill you took was because you looked directly at the thing you didn't want to hit. And like magic, your hands followed your eyes, and you hit it.
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Totally agree with Jerry - your eyes took you to some bad lines - a second or two before each of your falls I was screaming "NO NOT THAT LINE". You look like a technically proficient rider, you just need to pick better lines that don't cause you to need some so much technique! Also, I'm a 5'11 170 pound, 59 YO guy with only a few years experience, and I recently purchased a used CRF250L just for learning this kind of stuff on. Way, way easier and more FUN than trying to learn the skills on my big ADV.
Minute 1:50 is scenery that's visible from my hometown and only a few miles away. Sadly your route shows you were in adjacent valley about 20 miles away from there. Thanks for taking me home. I'm familiar with most of your desert route.
It says a heck of a lot about Harley's confidence in this bike that they're willing to get a bunch of dirt/ADV noobs for a press event like this one. Looks like a fun time. Loved it.
Nice adventure ride there Doodle! But at the end, when you thanked everyone including the camera crew- you forgot all those folks who helped you pick up that bad boy 😁
This is by far, one of my favorite story videos you've made. Solid mix of voice over, with captions on the screen and some riding highlights. I definitely think you're going to get hooked. Can't wait to see what happens when you have that triumph 660.
I’m riding over 50 years…I’m in the nyc area.. I’ve rode to San Fran down the pch to Santa Monica and across lots of rt 66.. rode to key west and cabot trail n . S. Sturgis many times. Daytona as well.. you should go if you’ve never been.. ride in Every state but 2.. that said I really enjoy your videos… keep up the great work. Best to you… Nick
EVERYONE should subscribe to this channel! This had to take a lot of time to edit & stuff, with the great cinematography and the text layover for clarity. Thank you, Doodle. I've VERY glad I subscribed to this channel.
Look like the gang's all there. I kept an eye on Dakar since I was young and get why people would brave the paths they often do. Even the Baja 500 would rack most people's nervous system thoroughly. Thank you for sharing the Mojave with us Midwesterners who's parents didn't do the Route 66 pilgrimage like the 1950's families did. Stay safe, and as always whiney sides up.
I grew up on dirt track and that experience saved my life many times on the highway.. I feel dirt track should be a prerequisite for a motorcycle license.
Watching this and outside is rain, a whole lot of icing with snow on the way. Thanks for the excellent diversion. Ya did good! I would have been picking up the bike more than riding it!
You are fearless and did a great job! Former motocross racer here who was dead set on getting a sport bike, but this video tempts me in another direction. 😊 I would love to go on a ride like that!
Doodle, I like these new adventures on a motorcycle series of road trips you have started doing. This was a fantastic video I really enjoyed. Thank you!
Good to see (almost) everyone having to pick up their bikes! That ride looks so fun, and good to see all the bloggers out in mass! Two days ago I managed to pick up my Africa Twin again for the first time in 9 months! My COVID vaccine last May had really kicked my butt, I lost so much muscle mass over 5 months, and am finally gaining it back. The real trick to the pick up was not all the lack of strength though, I had been forgetting to push back against the bike, I had been trying to push up with my legs. The devil is in the details.
BTW, thanks for all your videos with Moto Jitsu, he is probably the best teacher on the web, and I had been neglecting to keep up with him, as I should have, as a total noob. I need to take courses, many of them. Hard to get on the list in Illinois, guess I'm gonna have to travel.
Starting to really like those Pan Ams. Wouldn't mind having a couple among some friends for a little off-road travel. Long distance road trips on street bikes are one thing, but this looks really fun too.
Doodle, love your narrative ,story telling in your videos. Along with your enthusiasm and editing of course. Keep them coming but at your own pace. 👍👏😊
I was there at Zakar in 2021... Had a blast. But my legs were KILLING ME by the end of the first day. An unexpected Leg Day! Quads were blasted. Had a fantastic time though.
I think you are awesome ! I have really enjoyed your videos for sometime ! The latest one with the PanAmerica was awesome ! I have ridden in all environments and been down in all environments , let’s face it you ride long enough you will go down and enough dogs run out between houses they are gonna get you ! Keep up the great work !!
Hi Doodle! This video is amazing! It's so well done! this could 100% be a show I'd watch on Discovery! Keep up the amazing work! You're inspiring me to pick up a bike and start riding again!
5:48 My Great Great Grandfather drove one of those 20 mule trains hauling borax from mines in the desert. I remember my grandmother talking about how her grandfather worked the mule teams in the desert.
This is an AWESOME video! You're doing some amazing storytelling here. I love the narration and clips. Well done! And now I want to go ride some adventure bikes like a NOOB. Haha!

Doodle you have a gift for story telling. This was a great video. I know it Took you 4 ever to edit but the end product was magnificent. Keep up the excellent work,
Actually, It's not "when" but "how often". Love these episodes! Hope you try backroads riding again. You've tried the biggest and heaviest bikes in the class and survived!

clean the floor with the boots before lift the bike

You did great, thanks for the insight of your adventure. I hope the one woman rider who kept the shiny side up won an award.
Currently sitting in a foot of snow and ice. Dreaming I’m back in the desert with you guys! Loved the video! 🥰
You should stand up and go inside before you freeze your butt off!
@@PoobahJohn I’ve got a few feet of snow. Spring is so far away and I can’t wait to ride again…

Seen a lot of videos of this event but you were saving the best for last...awesome. You deserve a crew. Can't wait until you get there.
Doodle doing her thing!! With the amazing shots and riding!
Seeing this adventure from different peoples views was awesome. So happy to see many of my TH-cam favorites together

Doodle I love your
" warts and all" attitude to producing videos. You are an inspiration to so many riders. Thank you.
Well done! Gettin’ back on that horse is the proof of determination!
Good on ya!

The camaraderie is incredible and beautifully displayed in this film, filled my heart 💜
Wow, brings back memories of my Enduro days. I think I still have the skill, but definitely not the stamina to do that at 83 years old. But we always can dream!
Superb storytelling and editing. A cut above the rest of TH-cam. Very well done and thank you.
Truly one of your best episodes, in my opinion. You’re a tough cookie. Keep doing what you’re doing and thanks for sharing.

I am pretty darn impressed by the rollthroughs and leapoffs during the wipeouts in the first couple of minutes of this video!
Excellent video Doodle! I produced a lot of these back in the day, and this is some good stuff.
Where?? I wanna see!
Every spill you took was because you looked directly at the thing you didn't want to hit. And like magic, your hands followed your eyes, and you hit it.
Disagree she was going down on that sand whether she was looking at it or not. Gotta ride the rear of the bike on sand 😉
