- Looking for a little Texas inspiration? There are places where you can literally step back in time - take Dinosaur State Park for example. And while there’s a lot of things to miss about childhood, there’s one fun thing you can still enjoy as an adult - take a motorcycle ride out to Dinosaur State Park.

Best motorcycle travel blog that exists on utube.
It gives me hope that there is still good people out there,.
I agree
Reliably good entertainment😎
Best nomad best motorcycle best all around Chanel out there . Always full of positive vibes
I have an issue with your videos. They’re too short! I could watch for way longer. So entertaining. I loved the music in this episode. Kudos to you for the new rig. Very nice setup.
James I really try and do 30 min videos. sometimes there is just not enough video or something happens to the file and its not there. I will try to keep them at 30 min. 🤣👍👍
That is a very large gas station. I guess everything is big in Texas.
Yes its Gigantic
Great blog, I will be in Fredericksburg in April attending The AMCA Fandango vintage bike meet. I will be riding my 1946 Indian during the event!
Very cool!
You guys seem a lot happier now with “base camp” then you ever did with “ruby”. Enjoy the road and ride safe.
Thanks Danny
PS if you stop by Corsicana make sure you go to the Lefty Frizzell Museum
Takin Notes
I think now its 14wheels big life 👍
Na. It's still about the roads and bikes. just a better base camp
I think the dinosaurs were running from the astroid variant.
of the Thoracic kind
Just something I noticed. When Rich loaded that bike the wheel chock move when the wheel dropped in. That should be solid mounted. Mounted with 4 bolts. I have the same chock. I would hate to see that break loose. Would not be pretty. Be sure and check out the Bent Rim just out of Leaky. Frio canyon Motorcycle Stop. I love that area of Texas. Highway 16 from Medina to Kerrville and Fredericksburg is a beautiful and technical ride. Welcome to Texas. Proudtexson
Plus, the base plate flex will begin cracking where the only two bolts hold it down 😲
Yes it will.and those two bolts are not tight. Listen up Rich. 👎🏻
Yes the back bolt is on the frame a very difficult to get to. I noticed the flex when i did this video. I'll correcting very soon. some power tools will be needed.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Nice Rich 🥂
Not too worry during travel I'd imagine, since you also cinch down the rear wheels.. cheers 🤜💥🤛
Welcome home!
It was nice with all 3 of the kids
I like the new setup. Quick question on the truck. Did you go 4x4 or 4x2 on the drive train?
4x4 is the only way to go
Yes it’s a 4x4
If you are still in Texas look up a Mikeska's BBQ best ever. I rate this video at 100%+++++++
Taking notes we'll be back
Im lookin forward to you all ridin the sisters, and the hill country, and sharing, so I can feel like I was there. I always wanted to make it down there.
Rich, you wear your vest man, and dont listen to anyone tellin you that you cant. You earned it. You rode more miles in a couple years on that RoadGlide than most will their whole life.👍
Amen to that Dave. Cheers
Richard----I truly hope that you did not overcook those fine looking steaks.....Mediium rare to rare ---- no shoe leatherr....God bless and keep you both
Its ruined over Med 🤣🤣
You should pick up at least one fishing pole! Nothing like fresh caught fish!
I do have one and they were all out from the shore Didn't catch a one
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Sorry to hear that. Better luck next time.
As previously pointed out. Your front wheel chock needs to be secured...maybe both. When you loaded the chock actually moved. Want you and bikes safe.
Really loose. It needs attention soon. Proudtexson
Right. I noted that too. I wonder how many bolts are used to attach the chock
It is secure. I noticed it when I did the edit of this video. i'll need some power tools for this. It's right on the flat bed frame Really hard to get to.
First.. let me say enjoy your Vid. BUT im i the only one that Wondering.. Why not use a Toy Hauler ?seems so much better
We are planing a live to answer questions like these.
Have you ripped your jeans from handling those motorcycle ramps yet? That's the only thing I don't like about them, need to be careful, great traction though.
Thank you for the mid week treat!!! I do enjoy your episode’s!!
Watched since day one, but the background music can’t handle . Hopefully see you in sturgis bye.
Okay see ya
yall go,my wife rides her own so we do trips together I'm taking notes.
Its good to have a wife that rides.
While in that general area, you should head west to Roswell NM. That would be very interesting.
Becareful don't drive off with the steps down.
YES. Almost did already. Great reminder.
Great food and some super nice riding in Texas hill country have fun and happy riding.
Cheers Erik.
Is it just me or are things a bit more relaxed traveling this new way. :)
Not you.
we are much more comfortable
Cheers Fabio
Cheers E G
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Happy anyway of your new experience. I rode my 1985 Moto Guzzi in Italy for 350 km last week in 35-40F weather for 5 hrs. A refreshing experience!
Rich is looking pretty comfy on the GSA!
It really is an awesome piece of machinery
thanks for sharing the video was great you guys take care
Thanks Tom
I'm glad you had time with the kids. Otto Matic is right, it does look more relaxing in the new setup. Thanks R/C!!!
Thanks Greg !!
Looks like you've found the best way to camp and still almost be at the Hampton Inn. The cooking really is tops as well as the heating and cooling features of your camper. The beemers can now enjoy looking at the scenery as it passes by. Lol 🏍🏍👍👍🙋♂️
Hey, you were in my riding area. Excellent !
Welcome to my beautiful state of Texas. I love my wonderful state. There are a lot of good roads to ride and lots of things to do and see.
We are very proud of our Buc-ee's, Whataburger and Strips and lots of other things.
Yep Whataburger is awesome also .
@@TwoWheelsBigLife best fast food burger I have ever had.
You may have to deal with the poop tank when it's time to dump it, BUT, you don't have to go outside to use the bathroom. BIG plus! Enjoying your new travel mode, and still lots of good riding content. I think this is more relatable for most folks.
This is Great to hear Captain Jim. Thanks.
I loved Texas when, I was stationed there in Del Rio at Laughlin, AFB back in 1985!! Love watching your video's guy's!!!
Thanks Dave
So what's the name of this camper
It's Just been Base Camp. 🤔
Another awesome video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great editing and narrative which keeps us smiling watching your adventures. Working from home during covid, you guys have made this time better.
This is awesome to hear Todd Glad we help
She is loading food in the RV, but, at least it isn't rocks (Long Long Trailer Lucy & Ricky move back in I think 54)....
Yes i remember that one. and the center wheel for the hitch
Ahhh yes, Buc-eees. A great stop if one doesn't mind about 50,000 calories mid day. I recommend their brisket sandwich. First saw one east of Dallas, most recently stopped at one about an hour north of Atlanta. As others have noted, both of you seem more relaxed in your new "digs" and traveling mode. Be careful on those ramps. Two types of motorcyclists who've loaded bikes on ramps... those who have dumped them and those.... well, you know.
Thanks for watching and We will be careful. Thanks again
Try Walley's in Pontiac, Il sometime. Huge place too. Route 66. We have a few museums to check out too.
Thanks taking notes
Think I saw you on the back roads the other day. Would have waved but not used to Rich's new bike....LOL Have you looked into the Government Canyon State Natural Area west of San Antonio yet? There are Dino prints there as well, but I understand that you have to hike to see them.
No we’ll have to check that out. I would have waved back ✋🤣
The two of you are living my dream enjoy
Cheers Steven Thanks.
Loving your new travel style. You’re channel is awesome.
Thank You Very Much Linda
Is there any way to mount your motorcycles sideways on your truck? Ride on one side and ride off the other side. Leave your camper hooked up to the truck.
Interesting Had not thought of that. 🤔🤔🤔. Man the more i think of this. With a Motorized Lift that would be perfect to unload easy and go explore the road ahead to see if the rig could get back into free camping.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I'm just the idea man. I have no clue if it can be executed.
Man you got me thinkin. Love it.
Rich, go back and watch the video at the 16:10 mark. Look what the wheel chock does when you lock the wheel in place. You might want to add some support to keep the chock from flexing?..... The new rig is excellent !
yep... it will give out sooner than expected. Metal Fatigue.
My question is what are you going to do with Rich’s BMW when Miss Alice is fixed? I don’t know if you can or want to but it would be great to have all three so you are not limited to paved roads only.
Man all three would be a dream. But we'll break her out now and then.
There is a Buc-ees in TN or GA that is now the biggest. Texas needs to build another even bigger. Beaver Nuggets ROCK!
you can find some pretty big beavers in Texas. McDonald's isn't helping anything.
@@davidfellows6250 What a Buger beats the arches every time. Buc-ees has some darn fine food along with all the coffee I can get
Those are yummy for sure
My oldest son will be a retired USMarine in 18 days . I am giving him a heritage Softail to thank him I can't wait to ride with my kids.👍
That is awesome!
What is the average speed that you ride on ? I find here in the Houston area that everybody goes over the speed limit by a lot. I have a HD Heritage Classic that can really run, but I don’t really enjoy going at 70 mph.
Depends we try and just enjoy the ride
I would recommend that you watch MotoJitsu’s video on how he secures his ramps to his truck bed to insure that they don’t move, spread or fall off the truck bed while loading his bikes. He uses ratchet straps to secure the ramps to each other and to the truck. Just a suggestion
Oh yeah we strapped those ramps every time.
Haha you both are hooked. I don't blame ya, looked yummy. Keep traveling
We will!
You two diffidently look more rested with this set up of camping..
Thanks
I see you have a great joy travelling there. Love your video's very much. Thanks a lot.
Glad you like them!
Man I have some catching up to do. Love the new setup and Rich now has a BMW. You guys stay safe and keep having fun.
Thanks, you too!
Welcome to Texas I hope you like the weather it changes quick when you come back up this way stop by the local coyote or Corsicana . it's where I live there's one or two things to see around here
taking Notes
I remember the COE parks decades ago in TX they were always kept up so clean.
YES and so inexpensive
What I wouldn't give to live the life you are! Thanks for sharing what I can't do.
I agree!
You can do it!
I know everyone has their way of eating fish but I would have made some beer batter and fried that fish. Here ins SC where the first land locked striped bass was put in the lakes, we have a treasure of them.
battered is awesome.
Do you guys ever get caught having to ride in the night?
Very rare do we ride at night. I think when we are in Big Bend we have to ride at night. do know if that is recorded or not.
Curious what's your total TH-cam views???
Over 5 million for the Channel, average 230,000 a month
I bet Richard likes the BMW better than the Harley now!! 😉
So different types of rides. But the HD is better for the long roads but the GS opens up much more places to camp.
Ladder, More stuff, we will need a bigger truck. LOL
Ha I know !!
Great video you have to show us how you get some of those shots with the camera panning. On a liter side you went right buy my house and didn't stop to say hi. can't wait to get back on the road.
The moving shots are all in the edit and with a 360 camera Thanks. We are planning a Live to answer these questions. Stay tuned
Looks like Gears & Co want to come along too ? 6.12 (Big ears) Gears.
👍👍
Hello from Sweden! Always great videos!
Cheers
What brand are your motorcycle front wheel lockers on the flat bed ? Great video !
They are just an Amazon one. This link shows as Orange but they are the same. Work good so far. Here’s the link amzn.to/3qSjRF9
My stomach was growling when you were eating the bass! Yummmmmm
So good
Make sure you double check the straps on the bikes offer. Even ratchet straps loosen. I always use straps without ratchets on top of ratchet straps and roll them around multiple times and knot them. Just in case. B safe.
Oh yes. Thanks for the tip. I check at every stop and I can see the bike in the rearview
@@TwoWheelsBigLife maybe you can get some removable railings for the outside and one for the middle to have more strap points. And for safety.
Thanks for the link to the ramp you guys be safe
Our pleasure!
Another interesting video and man, did that fish dinner look tasty!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. The fish came out great
Saying Buc-ee's is just a gas station is like saying the Taj Mahal is just a house. :)
Thats a good one !! 🤣
Need a "two wheels Big Life" spare tire cover!!
Brilliant. Where can we get one. YES. Now I’m on a hunt
Video great as always! When you extend the beds on "Base Camp" do they need to be pulled back in when it rains. I see what appears to be mesh!
No they do not but the windows need to zipped up. that is one thing i don't like. wish they had a plastic zippered window
Nice guys and thanks... Hope you're going to check out the numerous Wineries. . . ENJOY
It is what I ride, I ride a great bike, It's a Honda
I've been told those Hondas are good bikes
Love the truck and the camper. Loading and unloading the bikes looks a little sketchy, but I’m sure it’s not as bad as it looks.
It really isn't that bad. but i always stop and asses before i go up
I like watching your videos, they are very informative. Here in Minn. it is too cold and snowy. to ride. Have to wait until April.
Hope we help you through it.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Yes ,thank you.
Love the new setup you guys have. Have fun..
Thanks. It’s a lot more comfortable full time
Deer beside the camp: "Look ma, It's Rich and Chris setting up base camp right beside us." Chris looks so much happier with the camper.
Glad to see you getting used to moving around the camper and not banging your head, Rich.
And did ya talk anyone out of more fish before you left that campsite?
Thanks Willa.
From Indiana was just in the Fredricksburg hill country January 2022. Also did Big Ben NP. Love Texas.
Really appreciate the effort you put into your vids. They just keep getting better and better.
I appreciate that!
Black water tank IS a crappy job!
🤣🤣
Your ramp is like a mini version of the PSP (perforated steel planking) we used to make taxiways and ramps to park planes in Southeast Asia. The jagged side went on the bottom, and that stuff was slicker than snot on a doorknob when it got wet.
The jaggad side is up and they are grippy. in fact sharpe to the touch. No Slip
Yeah our December in Washington State was pretty mild. Looks like a beautiful day to ride
Another good one guys enjoy be safe
Thanks
You would love Rocket Ranch campground in Boca Chica TX. I'm there now. It's beautiful here and close to SpaceX so you can check out the new Starship.
You guys are our inspiration! Fantastic ride and THEN 2 fat steaks on the grill followed by a reward for your kindness...
striped bass! 80 degrees in December.
Thanks for taking us along.

Frozen Sneakers, Pa.
I had to wait awhile, but I see you both have BMW's. I have always admired BMW's but I have never owned one.
STEELE CREEK, TX.The Steele Creek community was on Steele Creek three miles northwest of Thornton in southwestern Limestone County. The creek was probably named for local settler and San Jacinto veteran Alfonso Steele. The community was also known as Tidwell for David J. Tidwell, an early pastor who held annual camp meetings at the Methodist church. The Steele Creek post office opened in 1856 with Tidwell as postmaster. In the 1850s the community had two stores, a church, and a cemetery. The post office closed in 1866, reopened for a few months in 1868, but was finally discontinued; mail for Steele Creek residents was sent to Springfield. Residents probably moved to Thornton after the Houston and Texas Central Railway was constructed in the 1870s. A few scattered houses appeared on county maps of the Steele Creek area in the 1940s, but the site was not named.
What dinosaur tracks are at Dinosaur Valley State Park?
Image result for Where dinosaurs found in Dinosaur Valley State Park in USA
Two types of tracks are visible at these sites: Sauropod tracks, large elephant-like tracks believed to have been made by Sauroposeidon proteles. Theropod tracks, smaller and often with a distinct three-toed pattern, believed to have been made by Acrocanthosaurus.
I just spent the last week and half visiting my son in Houston, my daughter in Austin and a good friend in Plano. Drove down from NY. In NC now making my way back to NY.
Garner State Park was my families park of choice back in the 70s. As an adult, our park of choice was Inks Lake State Park. I live in AZ but miss TX a lot.
Been working a lot out of state so I may have missed it but, what happened to the river road? Did y’all ever make it down here to south Louisiana? Again, if y’all come this way, be really careful, and DO NOT go to New Orleans. It’s super violent and dangerous. They will absolutely carjack your whole rig. I’m serious. Look at the news.
Greetings y'all, what type of 360 degree GoPro do you use? What, no cooking that great food of yours? I am hungry!!
Truck stop nutrition at its best. 😂
Yes But fresh smoked Brisket and pork
What you don't know about Buc-ees is that the super sized stores that have 100 dispensers are contracted as military fueling centers and are widely spaced between the dispensers to get military trucks through them. Many large C-stores are going to 30 foot spacing column to column and larger. I challenge you to find a pint of ice cream at Buc-ees.
Great video keep up the good work.
Thanks Dave
Really enjoying your videos, don't blame you for moving up to a larger camper, comfort is key! Went to Wyoming last year on my Yamaha 650 V-star although a comfortable motorcycle for its size it doesn't have enough motor for the interstate. Would like to get a trailer to pull it with my truck then sight see with the motorcycle or better yet a motorhome. Again, great videos really like Texas one of my favorite southern states!
Back in the 1970’s we visited the Dinosaur State Park to find some tracks that appear to be human in the same strata of rock that contain dinosaur tracks. After some coaxing the ranger told us where to look. We found some right next to dinosaur track. The human looking tracks matched my foot left and right and looked like prints that would have been made in hard packed wet sand. Interesting to me.
Well that is some gourmet cooking Rich! Love your vids guys!
Love your take on adventure and life, doooo not stop what your doing! Your progressing and its awesome to watch.
Wow Thanks Bryan !! We are trying our best. I hope you and everyone else gets some good info from Us. Cheers.
