Taking children on a motorcycle ride is one of the best-possibly life changing experiences they could ever experience. I fell in love with motorcycles at nine years old. I’m still smitten by them decades later. Nothing feels better then freedom on my face. Great video. Great memories.
I agree, I still remember those experiences as a young boy. Always memorable and definitely life changing. Thanks for the comment! Ride safe my friend!
That is... the best... motorcycle vid.... I have seen for weeks. Just... absolutely.. magnificent.The places... the people... your route. All magnificent. Filmed good, too.Well... wished I could have done that... earlier in my life.. But for me... it's too late now. Not everybody gets to live as long as they wish.Thank you pal. That lil' bitty kid... ridin' with ya.... was a re-affirmation of "good life"... after I pass on.Good luck in the future. You deserve it.Thanks again,adr
Sean White I'm glad you enjoyed it! It did take hours of editing but I enjoy it because I get to relive the ride and the end result is well worth it. Thanks for the comment!
Sean you would think hours of editing work. Trust me Im an old guy too and its amazing what the kids can do these days. (ooofff I just became my father there) Seriously though its amazing computers have made our children into computers.
Thanks for taking me on your adventure! The video was amazing to watch and I enjoyed every moment of it. What made this very special in my eyes is that you used the miles to connect with your family and friends and that the affection that you share with them is so clear. You're using your time wisely.
Did a similar route with my wife in an RV in spring of 2017. Perfect weather. Outstanding scenery. Polite and welcoming communities. Missed the Beartooth Pass due to way too much snow! Punched out 15500km in 5 weeks, but didn't have to do it on a bike. Kudos to you for such a well documented epic adventure.
I went on a 3 week tour of Alaska in mid June of 2018 and loved every minute. I went alone but met many new friends along the way. The hardest part was coming home. I wanted to just keep going. I rode a 2006 RT and had 0 problems even with it over loaded with gear, food and water. Enjoyed your videos. I am a subscriber.
That is a dream trip for me! I am hoping to get up there next spring, have been planning that one for a while. Great bike for a long trip like that, I think my next touring bike will be an RT. Thanks for the comment, ride safe!
Sure agree FTA! The times I've toured 43 of them states over dozens of journeys, it's been driving cars or 4x4s, or flying military airplanes, not riding a divine GSA which I now know and soon will drive more permanently.
Pure joy-thanks for sharing. I live in West Vancouver Canada . Several times a week I ride my 2017 r1200gs up the Sea to Highway to Whistler BC, before breakfast or after work. But I am planning some epic long rides-videos like yours are motivational.
Jim Thompson thanks for the comment! Sounds like a blast, the R1200 is a great bike to tour on. I'll be passing through Canada next year on my way to Alaska, I can't wait. It looks like a beautiful country!
Thanks Steve! It is a great world we live in!! And yes, I hope that experience left a lasting impression with my nephew, I don't get to see him often so I hope he remembers that time!
Brand new subscriber. I love this video so much. It was so clear to see the love between you and your brother, its a love only siblings can know. I saw it even before you said the book was dedicated to him. Love your videos man. And you are on the exact bike I want to do exactly what you are doing. Keep it up!
I taking a similar trip in June. 40 states with a few brief side trips into Canada. I estimate that I'll put up 10K miles or so. Watching your video reaffirms my belief that I can do this thing! Thanks for posting.
crux123451 Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 getting ready for another big trip soon, should make for a great video so be sure to stay tuned!
Thank you John Paul for your comment and for watching. It really was a great trip and I love watching the video too from time to time to re visit the great moments of that trip. Safe Travels!
At 5:57 you caught a BNSF train, pulling freight. That's what I retired from in 2011. It always makes me proud of staying there for 34 years. That's some awesome country.
Another great one Tim! I just finished reading your book & its good to "meet" Bob & Billy to put a face to the names that I enjoyed reading about in your wonderful, inspiring book!
Hey buddy great ride! I do the same in Europe in the summer. So great when you meet all those nice people. Just got a brand new GSA. Can't wait to hit the road again.
Cinik Cynic That's awesome! I'm looking forward to shipping my bike over there in a few years to do some exploring in Europe! Congrats on your new GSA! Amazing motorcycles!
One of the best videos I've seen. Beautiful bike, lots of family & friends, the camping and the magnificent scenery. Excellent job my man, excellent job.
Very nice video, from a dream tour. I am in the poses of buying my first BMW R1200GS so me and my wife are waiting for spring and new adventures. All the best to you, from us here in Norway.
The Friendly Grizzley thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it, there's lots of exploring to do over here when you get your GS! I'm sure Norway is equally impressive based on pictures I've seen, I'm looking forward to getting my bike over that way in the next few years. Thanks for the comment, ride safe!
1850US$ ? so little? in Europe you'd have spent the same money for the gasoline ONLY, plus all the rest, by the way it's still very little.... the video is beautifull, you made a great adventure, met important people among your family and friends, seen great places and landscapes. THUMBS UP !!
Riding TusCanY thank you! I’m actually going to be making a video about how I budget on trips very soon. Fuel was my biggest expense like you said. Ride safe!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Seeing someone take a trip like this is so inspiring. Hope to take a trip soon myself and i hope you do more like these.
another excellant vid tim. i was never really interested in going to the USA. but in those 15 minutes youve convinced me otherwise....i am on my way..thanks Tim you inspire me.
Glad I could help persuade you, it's a wonderful country to ride in. Our road system is incredible here, definitely worth putting on your list of places to go! Ride safe!
+Forty Times Around The eastern part of Melbourne has some of the best scenic routes specially on a GS. Then there's the Great Ocean Road along the coast toward Adelaid. You should definitely consider Australia. Regards Jacob.
Great video Tim again ! I’m sure you missing NYC traffic and all those courteous drivers 😂 You can’t pass semi on a double yellow line buddy🤣🤣😜😜 Good job
Great video.. I too travel 2up motocamping with the wife although I've only attempted one video. We are going from San Diego to Colorado in June. Can't wait.
That should be a great trip! There's a lot to see from San Diego to Colorado! Some of the best scenery in the US for sure!!! Have a blast and ride safe!! Thanks for the comment!!
Just got back from a bus tour of most the national parks plus Denver ad Vegas. One of the best bus tours I have ever been on. I’m watching vids of two guys that went on the Trans America Trail across the country. So far very interesting. I had a Moto Guzzi 850 for years I used to take on trips and vacation. I’ve been missing it a lot lately.
Thanks for the comment Jake! Sounds like an epic adventure you had! That Trans America Trail is on my bucket list! I'll have to find that documentary. Safe travels my friend!
You do realize that some of us spend a lifetime wishing we could find the time to do this and kudos to the rear seat camera person I think you never let her drive?
You have to make the time! I know it's hard, I have been fortunate in finding jobs that let me leave for extended trips, but still, I would take what I could get. Thank you! No, she didn't drive. She was only with me for part of the trip. Thanks for the comment!
In México there are many beautiful and interesting places, like Durango city, Zacatecas city( Colonial style), Querétaro, Teotihuacán Piramids, Arqueological places like Yucatán and Quintana Roo, etc. I live in Durango state, I hope to meet you here, and say hello, later I´ll tell you more suggestions. greetings. oscarruedar@hotmail.com Oscar Rueda R.
Thanks Cameron! You guys should go for it! It's such a great way to see the country, and a very affordable way to travel. I'm sure we will cross paths one day!

Allan Regeon thanks so much for your comment Allan, it means a lot to me to see people enjoying my trip, best of luck to you.
The best part was the book, dedicating it to your brother.
Totally agreed, brought a little tear to my eye haha and amazing to find a fellow BMW employee loving life through the brand on two wheels!
What an absolutely great video. The editing must have taken hours of work. Nothing more needs to be said, except thank you for sharing it.
Sean White I'm glad you enjoyed it! It did take hours of editing but I enjoy it because I get to relive the ride and the end result is well worth it. Thanks for the comment!

Truly magical. Taking your nephew for his first bike ride was a vey special moment for both of you.
Take care.
gmhd650 thanks for the comment!
You sir are a good dude. Found you after I purchased my 2014 GS . Brought a tear to my eye when you dedicated the book to your brother. Too cool.
Saw a comment from one of our service men in AFG.
Thanks to you guy's we get to do these things.
God Bless You and America!
Thank you!
Thanks for taking me on your adventure! The video was amazing to watch and I enjoyed every moment of it. What made this very special in my eyes is that you used the miles to connect with your family and friends and that the affection that you share with them is so clear. You're using your time wisely.

I wish I could live my life the way you do. Truly you are an inspiration.
Your gal was a trooper riding all that way as passenger on the back!
T Sav She was only with me for about a week, but yes sitting on the back of a bike like that must be pretty rough!

Thanks Steve! It is a great world we live in!! And yes, I hope that experience left a lasting impression with my nephew, I don't get to see him often so I hope he remembers that time!
That was a great video. Really shows what the US has to offer. Thank you .
