I'm 74 and have been traveling on motorcycles for around 50 years. I've crossed the US solo a couple of times, so your trip brought back many similar memories for me. I really like your videography and music selections. On one trip, my theme music was Neil Young's Harvest album. Every time I hear songs from that album, it takes me back to 1972 when I rode from Ithaca, NY, to Berkeley, CA. Keep up the nice work. Nowadays I ride a Can-Am Spyder trike. Keeps me young!!
You are a fricking hero to me my man! ❤
I live near Berkeley and that’s amazing to go from New York to California. I am amazed that you all can travel in motorcycles. That is just cool
I rode in December, 1970, from Ontario, Canada to Blythe California. On a Triumph Bonneville. Now I have a Royal Enfield 350, in Thailand. Kind of wish I had found time - all these years - to ride across the continent a few more times. Peace.
That’s incredible that you’re still riding. Keep going strong.
Enjoyed your journey, thank you
HUCKLEBERRY, and thank you for sharing this with us. What a journey. Your patience and "It's OK" attitude are inspiring. I bought a 2017 500X last year (at the age of 70) and was interested in how the bike would do on a trip like that. So many people think that you need a big bike to travel like this and you proved them wrong. Traveling vicariously with you makes me anxious for spring so I can "get out and do the thing".
That’s awesome congratulations on your new journey. I think you are in for a sweet journey. Have fun
Thanks! May have just binge watched this entire series (okay I absolutely did). As a native of New Mexico I was so happy our state brought you some needed rejuvenation. I've recently purchased my first motorcycle and your videos are the perfect blend of travel log, informational content and moto-ASMR. I'm gonna do the thing!
"It's never going to happen unless you make it happen" What a perfect finale for this. Well done Amanda.
Hi Amanda.
Really very impressive!
I'm 62 and I've been riding for 30 years.
If I look back at your age, I wouldn't think I could have done what you do, despite my deep passion for motorcycling, no matter the style.
I did several road trips from Quebec to the United States that I loved, but never like you do. So many miles, so much distance covered!
Well done and respect!
I encourage you to continue!
😉
Ditto!😀👏
Huckleberry! My wife and I watched your video over 2 evenings and loved the escape. All my life I dreamed of doing a trip like yours but never did until two years ago when I was almost 69. A motorcycle buddy I haven't seen or heard from for over 40 years threw out a challenge for us to meet in Moab and ride to the BMW rally in Great Falls, MT. I live in the Austin area and he lives in Maryland! What pushed me over the edge "to do the thing" was a meme he sent me that said "the road of life is full of flat squirrels who couldn't make a decision". We had a blast and for me it was the trip of a lifetime. I was engaged at the time, came home, got married and my wife and I rode our bikes to the Barber Museum for our honeymoon. You're right there is never a perfect time, but the right time is NOW!
I love that! "Don't be a flat Squirrel!" lol
Hello Amanda . I followed your advises to do the thing. So i began to record my travels trough tiny France . Have a nice day .
Awesome!
Hi Amanda, found you last night with your review of Rok Straps (which I do approve of) just wanted to say you have a fab camera presence, I spent 3 months riding in the USA, shipped my bike from the UK, it was great fun, keep up the great content, youre a natural at it, oh and don't stop the dancing!
Awesome, thank you!
One thing I've noticed is that there are no easy days. You work from daybreak to night,and one of your best traits is your patience. 💯
Thank you very much!
I don't usually stick with such a long video, but the way you captured experiencing a motorcycle trip was too compelling to stop! You've got a new subscriber! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself in your video. 👍🏻🙏🏼
Oh, and HUCKLEBERRY! 😆
Great video Pavlin. Thanks a lot!!!
I can understand why one might have an anxiety attack on a trip like you are on. I've got to hand it to you, you are a true road warrior. I would never be able to do a cross country trip solo...I would get too lonely. I would need to have someone there to enjoy the adventure with. It's much easier to get through the tough moments with someone to lean on and visa-versa. Congrats on doing it....twice!
Thanks Bob!
so envious of this epic journey. thankful u shared it so i could tag along! america is really beautiful on the outside and the people seem great. u have an amazing network/friends wow
Huckleberry! This was amazing to watch as someone who's been working their way up to wanting to do longer trips, be it on my current little adventure bike or on a bigger one in the future. Your words at the end really are inspiring for helping push past that nagging thought of whether or not to go for it, or the what-ifs that plague this kind of trip decision. Thanks for the great content and keep at it! Earned a sub for sure here.
HUCKLEBERRY!!!! Whoo! Watched the whole trip in one afternoon. I had seen some parts of the trip in the individual videos but it was so much more meaningful to see it from beginning to end. You really ar amazing and inspiring, Amanda! Always love to see more. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Huckleberry! Even after following along during the trip this video was like watching it new for the very first time. Your editing is amazing. Thank you for sharing this long version.
You must do a video on your recipes, and how you dehydrate them.
AZ, I'm enjoying my daily dose of the long trip. -4 degrees as I watched today which was a nice way to relive spring 2022... it gives hope for spring 2023. And, I've probably not posted this before, but one reason I always enjoy your site is it lacks the profanity that drenches so many other motorcycle YT channels. Your posts are cheery, "Hello Beautiful People" is so preferred to the four-letter words that detract from content. Thank you for what you do!!
Hi, I've only just started watching your travel vlog and saw how upset you were about losing your Stetson. I lost a "special to me" sun visor last year, and put a post on Facebook with a scaled down photo of me wearing the visor. Was thrilled to bits when a guy found it, contacted me via Messenger, and very kindly posted it to me!!! Worth a try ..... wishing you safe and happy travels while I enjoy your vlogs XX
Thanks for sharing your ride , this year I’m hoping to get out on the open road again myself. Been a lot of years but I think it’s time to scratch the itch again. Always speed safe and keep the shiny side up and rubber side down
Well done sister, great editing, effects, angles.. top quality 👍
Amazing journey and video! Loved it so much 💕. Happy trails!
Thanks so much!
Huckleberry!
Wow, Amanda (Ninja) I finally sat down last night and watched your whole 3:33:46 video. Knowing about your anxiety and stress, that makes all the more sweet to complete. These things can be paralyzing (for some people) you kept going thanks to family and friend lifelines. Glad your friends found another Stetson for you put miles on and make your own.
Pushing ourselves out of those comfort zones, makes us stronger and better and through those good and not so good challenges we learn much which can then help others. There is a reason for why we go through things in life, even if we do not know the reason at that moment in time.
A belated Happy New Year to you and yours. Wishing you much adventure, travel, fun and health this year on and off two wheels. Take care.
I think the falling over the bike was a credit to your determination to get you and your bike to the destination ..be proud of your self your brilliant ❤
the timelapse of that sleep mat inflating never gets old or any less soothing to behold
I watched your posts as they came out. It is so awesome to see them all together. Love it!!!
Thank you so much!
I love the effort you put into making this video. It is clear to me that you were very passionate about this journey.
Hi Amanda, huckleberry and thanks for all the work you put in documenting your trip. Really love your point of view and all the insights along the way. I couldn't stop watching it and I'm a bicyclist, not a motorcyclist! Thanks again
Awesome. Loved following along on your journey.
You are an inspiration, Amanda, you joy of life comes across in your videos! I have done solo trips back in the late 2000s on my 2006 VSTROM 650. I haven't since around 2012 due to work and now to hip problems, which are now solved. I am getting the VSTROM out and ready for more adventures, inspired by you! I love how you detail and display your equipment, it helps knowing the new gear and tech. BTW: I have that same tent and I love it!!!!!
That is awesome!
Great series richy look forward to to the next one 👍
I just want you to know that I just started watching your videos and you have inspired me to buy an adventure bike and do what you did! I have a bike in my garage that I’m going to trade in, in the next few days. 😊 thank you for doing what you are doing 💋
This was an amazing video! I am a new rider, still getting used to riding on the highway. I am looking forward to when I can take a trip(s) like you do! You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing!
Im a big guy. 6'4" and 300lbs. I have 3 bikes I ride in the enduro. 1st and newest is my XR150L, I love this little town commuter. Great for gravel roads and buzzing through traffic. Next is my Honda 300L, I use this bike for single track and tight trails. Finally is my KTM Enduro R, I have done a ton of work to this bike. I have supermoto tires for it and my firt tires for it. All my bikes have a unique purpose. I owned a motocross track for many years and have owned and road every bike practically since the mid 80s. At 55 years of age. I ride alot.... Fyi I am a new subscriber and love your content.
Thank you for sharing this! I enjoyed watching it. Now going through all your content and I really like it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
excellent video! im looking forward to my first moto-road trip!
I used to live in Merced. I was born there and stayed until I turned 6. The last time I was there was 2 years ago. Before that, almost 20 years since my family and I left. The place has changed a lot. Way more people and way more crowded. I'm planning to make a trip back with my ninja one day. Before that, a lot of practice.
Thanks for the motivation. You're one of a kind. Sorry about the hat.
Awesome trip, thanks so much for your sharing it with us!!!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your video. I thought you put it together really well and integrated music. You were so brave to do that trek alone but found fun along the way. I did feel that I was exhausted by all the travel and arrangements along the way that you had to make. I can't believe that tent sites in parks were up to $80 a night with not much amenities. It was great fun to see you dance around your motorcycle and to take it in stride when you did drop your bike. I don't think I can travel 300-500 miles a day every day to make this trip. You managed it well but to me it felt like it was so hard to do all the miles. Anyway, now you are a part of the Motorcycle Camping family. Brava. Great job.
As I watched this video, I must say I felt inspired to get out and travel on two wheels.
This video was very well done, and I very much enjoyed watching it.
Happy New yearYear 🎉
Your bravery & confidence is awe inspiring. The video was very informative and super entertaining.
I absolutely love your channel. You are amazing with editing. I really loved the stars view when you camped out. Looking forward to seeing several more of your videos. Makes me really want to put more of my own videos out.
Very inspiring. Started watching out of curiosity and enjoyed it very much. quite a few images brought back memories of even smells of parts of the world I have been in, from Africa, to Europe, to New Zealand and Australia where I am at the moment... Keep it up... you rock...
loving this long cut so much. It is carrying through studying for finals at BSU. I have already watched it twice.
Hey if you're in Boise go up in the hills and check out the hot springs they are amazing and especially check out Atlanta Idaho and then go up and then just keep on heading up above Idaho City and then follow it over to to crouch and you can drop on down on back in the Boise and you will see some beautiful country and stop everywhere and enjoy the wonderful hot springs I lived in Boise for quite a while
You are so inspiring to so many... thanks for all that you do!
Well, I can't believe I watched a video that was over 3 hours long! But, hey... I'm your Huckleberry. But, seriously, it did take me two days of watching 30-45 minutes at a time. Great video. I lived in El Paso for 20 years and have been to Cloudcroft, Spent the night in Alamogordo, and visited White Sands on my Bike. I always wanted to go to the Gila Natl Forrest too and see the Cliff Dwellings, but just never found the time. You are a true Road Warrior. Keep it Up and be Safe out there. This Spring I plan on getting out there, and doing the thing!
Loved your visit to Tombstone...and the new hat! We visited there right at the beginning of Covid...no people...empty streets..all but store owners...ran into a couple of guys refurbishing an old original stagecoach though! Was an awsome visit! Love your vids!
Just discovered your channel and binge watched your trip in two days. Amazing adventure. I'm waiting for the delivery of my 2023 cb500x and even though I don't have time right now for any epic rides, you have inspired me to plan a few camping trips this summer with her. Cheers from newfoundland canada.
Good day to you.
I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan.
Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading.
This is so nice video!
Awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Have a nice day my friend!!
Pretty sure I have seen most of this, but just enjoyed it again over the last few days.
You're such an inspiration.
I didn't get to see you at Forgotten Angels, but I hope to go this year in March.
I know it's a long trip for you but...
Wow Amanda, I started watching this video this morning and could not get up! I feel like I've made the journey with you. Your choice of bike was spot on, most riders wouldn't even entertain the thought of taking such a trip on a glorified 500cc dirt bike! :P You have inspired me to get off my butt and take that ride I've dreamed about since I was a young teen. I finally snagged my dream bike two years ago, a 2014 Indian Chief Vintage,. That Honda seemed to run like a top, on the dirt as well as the interstate. And was WAY lighter than the big v-twins although I must say I was feelin for you handling all that top heavy gear and bike like a champ! Thank You Amanda for these videos and the kind wisdom you shared at the end! You've inspired me, and that ain't easy at my age. Your giggle and that dance made me laugh, your a natural in front of the camera! You have a gift, a natural positive energy that came right through this video! (Video comments>>-->)Smart girl, glad you decided to stay two nights in Temple. You need the rest and so does that tire! Light is indeed amazing, I've always been fascinated with light.
Just found you starting at the beginning so will be awhile till I catch up. Just want you to know your personality is contagious. You go girl
thanks for all the adventer and forgontten angles, never would have seen the stuff you've shown'...whatched the hole thing..every bit'enjoyed....thaks..
You're brilliant, I am currently viewing your link from the UK. I am so impressed, currently looking at a Honda pan European st1300, and Honda appears to be duper reliable, with the side panniers and rear carrier box, I wish you safe travels thanks for sharing.your experiences..really useful info. Best regards.
Huckleberry! loved this video so much and im glad you made it home safe! cant wait for the next adventure!
Shadetree sent me. I subscribed to your channel also. Huckleberry, this was an awesome trip. Really just makes me want to ride off into the unknown parts of America. I don't think my sportbike would want to though 🤣. I know it's an old video but you're a great story teller and watching/ listening to this video was easy. Safe travels on your next adventure 🤘🤠
Have never seen such a loooong motorcycle vlog on TH-cam and included dancing on the road…..what a trip you had, what a amazing journey on your bike best regards from BikerChris in Denmark(Europe)👍😃❤️😎
Huckleberry, there are few people on TH-cam i would call inspirational. You are certainly the first i have ever seen and have told them so. The work you put into these videos is exceptional, and your common sense, road craft, planning and general skill set is something to be admired. Keep doing your thing as you are 1 exceptional human being, with best wishes for all your future travels. A fellow biker from across the pond
Huckleberry, Thanks for sharing your amazing trip.
Impressive miles covered - and solo! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Hope to see your next adventure. Great people and community. Love the crawfish story and the sand dunes on your way back. HUCKLEBERRY.
I enjoy it a lot, may I know how you create animated maps? any certain software?
Well done and well lived! Such memories to have! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Will be watching all 3 hours of this.. but in pieces. A solo trip of that many days sounds very, very good right now....
I love your attitude towards the challenges you face. Attitude equals altitude. Stay humble, stay Blessed and ride on.
Huckleberry 😀🖖. Hi, Pete from Australia, really enjoyed your trip across America.. Well done !!! I’m about to embark on a similar trip from Sydney, New South Wales to Tasmania, leaving in 11 days with 2 close friends - a tent in hand and no plans ! Love the idea of no schedule, no restrictions !
Maggie: I’m in love with your adventurous spirit and your exploratory sense of delightment! I’d love to ride with you! I have a 21 FLH Revival in Jersey, and a FXLRS (22) in Daytona. I ride every day even if it’s just around the block! Thanks for your beautiful filming and excellent narratives! 😊
Huckleberry! What a beautiful trip!
Thanks for sharing!
Great scenes & a great adventure, keep up the good work.
Awesome video and beautiful landscapes loved watching on the big screen thank you for sharing your adventure truly loved it
Thanks so much!
I lived in Florida for 5 yrs. I lived in Anna Maria island. Bradenton was north from Bradenton about 45 min to an hour. Hope your trip went well. I just came across your video. Good luck on your journeys and be safe❤
Huckleberry! What an amazing trip.. you are an inspiration.
Great video, enjoyed it very much.
I loved your video and the joy you have driving your motorcycle..
Be well and have good trips😊😊
Thanks for your input in this trip
I have watched this video in its entirety a couple times. Such a great video. Good music, great pictures, excellent editing. What a trip. .
Glad you enjoyed it
Huckleberry! I watched this whole trip again, after watching the original instalments. I am delighted to have been able to support this trip in a small way, You have inspired me to Get Out and Do The Thing on multiple occasions. I finally found a place in NSW to go camping with Llamas!
lol Huckleberry!! too funny. That was a really great video. As long as it was. Totally worth watching in it's entirety. Thank you for sharing. Oh yeah. It was great seeing Tim in there as well.
Hi Amanda
Am quite impressed with you trip and travels around the US on the motorcycle it's amazing
I have the same plan that one day I got to travel around continents on my motorcycle
You are an inspiration
So fantastic! I enjoyed the whole thing and will go back and watch others now. Thank you for sharing the hard times and not just the glamour and romance of the road and those places. I made a trip across many of these same stops last year- just ahead of you at Big Bend and Gila, but in my Jeep. Hope to return on the motorcycle. I found Gila to be one of the most inspiring, beautiful and almost mystical places I have ever visited. Something about it. Cheers from NY
Thanks so much! Agreed Gila is just amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing amazing journey love every moment! Ride safe 🏍️
I fell asleep last night and then this video came on. I feel like I went on the best adventure ever!!!!!!!! Wow you’re awesome. What a great opportunity to travel across the states on two wheels. As a fellow adventurer I love what you do! Thank you for sharing!!! 💗🙏🏽💯🔥
I have wached this from beingin to end this was brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love this! I just had gotten my license and first bike this year (05Kawasaki klr650). I grew up riding with my godfather every summer. A trip like this is what I'm working towards. I haven't seen a lot of other women making videos videos like this. I stumbled upon this video researching motorcycle camping gear I will need to get. A part of me is even more happier that we have the same name and it seems surreal like I'm just looking into my future. :) love it I cant wait to watch more of your videos! .. Huckleberry.
What an incredible young lady you are. And what a fantastic piece of film making. Hi from the UK. New subscriber here. So can't wait for more of your videos. This is just outstanding. So, love to follow in your footsteps.
Huckekberry! I totally loved it. What wonderful scenery You rode through, We don't have cacti like that here in the UK. Best Wishes Dee
Hi Amanda, You are really something! In 1999 I did something similar, a friend of mine had a Harley stored in Houston, Texas and he offered me to borrow his bike! We both lives(d) in Norway at that time. this was back in 1999. I drove from Houston, up to Wisconsin, and then to Yellowstone and further to Portland, Oregon. Then California, Nevada, Arizona and back to Houston. I visited 17 states and was using about 8 weeks on my trip. Thinking back, I don't understand how I dared to do this, since I did not have a cell phone or GPS.What you are doing is very impressiv!I wish you all the best and hope you understand my English. All the best, Hakon
This was an epic adventure, how memories you will keep your lifetime
Hey Amanda. Ive been watching your videos for over a year now. You really inspired me to ride from Arkansas to Moab alone last summer.
Great success - Going to the Pacific Ocean this year!
What was your reasoning for the coastal route from Florida to N Calif.?
To make Shadetree Camp in a Tent XD but also I hadn't ridden through Texas or the Gulf yet
I loved your camping video ,so much respect , I like the fact that you find comfort in simplivity?
Amanda, I loved loved loved this documentary! Binge watched it and didn't want it to end. Of course, my favorite parts were when you were in AZ and NM. I met you at Babes Ride Out in Santa Margarita...I was the lady that called you "the Elvis of Babes!" You totally are the BEST inspiration! In the last year I've acquired a Triumph Scrambler and dream of doing just what you do! Like I told you at Babes, I'll say it again...If ever in Tucson, you have a place to lay your head and garage space for your steed. look me up!
So awesome! Looks like you enjoyed Chicot State Park. I’m from Louisiana and we had a family reunion there between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Louisiana is a special place. Safe travels!
Your opening is like V of Itchy and V . I don't know if you follow them but she always opened with "Hello beautiful people".
She passed away of cancer. She was so sweet.
Merry Christmas !
That was impressive, my dad passed away, I’m going to fly out to Reno, Nevada may 16th then ride his Harley roadside all the way back to Ohio, plan on camping whenever it’s available, I see making plans to camp isn’t always that easy. But I’m gonna check out some of your gear and the apps. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this great adventure with us. I admire you so very much. Thank you for showing us how great this nation is and how much there is to see. I am on dialysis and in end stage kidney failure so this would be very difficult for me but I am still going to try and have some adventures before this ride is over. I so hope to have more adventures from you as it takes me away from this hospital bed and out into the world. I love your attititude and personality. Much love.
Amanda, I have watched the movie a few times now, always something new to discover. A great endeavour, beautifully filmed and put together. Music and your unique personality make it awesome altogether. My first offroad experience was with a 80ccm Honda in Modesto, Ca, and from there just got crazier with bikes. I wish you a million safe miles.
Thanks again!
my gf did VT/802 to rochester area NY in a week
you ladies are amazing
youlls determination i need to be following!!!!!
I like the new hat, it looks good. That you got it in Tombstone makes it even cooler. You're in your prime!
Great video. Loved the Cloudcroft area section of video. I rode all over that area as a teen, loved it. It was pretty sweet living in that area - Ruidoso. New subscriber.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow what an adventure 💙💙💙 I’ve got about 170,000 miles under my belt but I’ve never been across the US the farthest I’ve been was from California to Oklahoma and back I did that in a total of about 5 days round trip, two days there and 3 days back I had work training in Oklahoma so there was a little rest in Oklahoma I’m between heading back. Keep having safe travels and keep the shiny side up 😄
Huckleberry.... wonderful video. looked like an amazing trip.
