Motorcycle Runs are my favorite type of social gathering. Especially when they involve brushing the dust off my Harley-Davidson Sportster and taking my friend Tara to her first big Motorcycle Campout: RUN TO RATON! This weekend ride was packed with good eats, good times, rad motorcycles of all varieties, and of course, GREAT motorcycle riding in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico!
DAY ONE: On the way down south, we stopped at a craft brewery called ales Brues Alehouse in Pueblo, Colorado for lunch before heading over to Pueblo Reservoir to beat the summer heat. Afterwards, we rode the Highway of Legends Scenic Byway and checked out Bishop's Castle: a privately owned, free-to-the-public castle that has been under construction for 60 years.
DAY TWO: We headed out to ride the Enchanted Circle and grab some food. This is one of the most popular motorcycle rides in Northern New Mexico. Our first stop was the Burrito Banquet in Cimarron, where we quickly realized a storm was coming in. We changed our plans and headed back to Cold Beer New Mexico, a quirky dive bar in the middle of absolutely nowhere to meet up with some friends.
Unfortunately, my GoPro Max mount snapped due to the vibrations of my sportster. I had to cut my filming short on just day two of this little weekend motorcycle ride. Hope y'all enjoyed the video!!

#MotorcycleTouring
Now that looked like a great time
Haha it was indeed!
Haha Brad rollin’ up on you was awesome.
I loved the shot of the one guy workin on his bike and his buddies sitting around him just chatting. That’s some wholesome motorcycle culture sh*t and I love it. No phones, no rush, just hanging out with friends around a motorcycle, not caring about the rest of the world.
Hahahha he pulled up hawwwwt! These little campouts are definitely my favorite way to experience motorcycles. As you know! :)
You still have the only motorcycle channel that really understands what riding a motorcycle is all about. I remember crossing Raton Pass on a 2007 Street Bob. Great feeling. You understand what it means to ride a motorcycle. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Hank!!
Ride for food that's me. Great video .
Ride to food that’s me! 😎🤪 Thanks for watching 🤘
I stumbled on your video. Raton is my hometown. Enjoyed your perspective of my lil town.
Love it!! Keep them coming.
Suuuper fun series dropping this coming week!
Cool little sporty. Everyone should have one. Looks like a fun time. Made me smile!
Sportsters forever! 🤙
Have yet to watch a video you made that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for taking us along on another cool little adventure Staci.

Hahahah, perfect!
We enjoyed the video. Cool beer and taco joints. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Kurt!!
So cool! Wish I was not so introverted and anti social but it’s the main reason I ride. Wish I could live like you two! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. One day I’ll be able to break through these demons that won’t let me enjoy life as it should be.
I am also pretty introverted which is why I ride alone a lot, so I completely understand!! :)
The beautiful state of Colorado
What a beautiful bike you got the paint job 👍🏻
Thank you :)
So glad she made it down that way! Hopefully she’s caught the bug of moto camping and admiring all of those awesome bikes. Another gorgeous video. Thank you.
She loves it!! I think she might’ve even gone moto camping more than me last summer 😂🙌 definitely a rad thing to watch a close friend fall in love with these bikes the same way you do!
Thanks for watching :)

Man it feels like your videos are getting shorter and shorter! That just means time flies when your having fun viewing! Love the paint and simplicity of that Sporty you have! That burrito looked amaze balls! Just got my hands on a Dyna and using your paint scheme as inspiration! Excited for your next vids! Keep rocking bad ass lady!
Haha thank you!! And, They’re actually getting longer! :) glad you’re enjoying them!!
Cool video! Thank you for sharing.
I just want to say that I really appreciate your username. TACOS ARE LIIIIIFEEE!!

💥💯💥Another Winner, Staci!!! Keep 'em comin', Rock Star! 🍔🏍⛺️
Thanks dude!!
Made this trip today, Raton is an awesome little town. Gate City was phenomenal!!! Thanks for highlighting this quaint little town.
Glad you enjoyed your trip down there!! :)
Raton is a great weekend trip town! Tons of free camping nearby and plenty to see.
Agreeeed!!
Loved the video, brings back a lot of memories for me. Grew up in Cimarron, on weekends spent most of my time in Raton, went to college in Trinidad, and made a lot of trips by the old castle and fishing at Pueblo Reservoir. Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the video
How cool!!! Glad ya enjoyed it :)
that looked so fun!
It was a great time for sure!!
love the Sporty great video
Thank you! 🤘
Staci, thanks for the ride

Haha I definitely took an unintentional hiatus to take care of some personal things going on in my life. BUT IM BACK!!! 12+ videos to publish before the end of May....you're in for a treat! :)
Yupz
I am from a small town south of Raton. This was cool. 😁 I live in Arizona now and love that you can ride all year round for the most part.
Just realized your ride to food hat looks like the Harley Davidson emblems on the tank of the street bob standard that’s cool!
🤓🤓🤓
Damn!!!! That sporty is looking good! Nice scooter!👍
Thank ya! 😊
damn good stuff. fun looking crew too
Thank ya!!
Awesome video girl
Thanks Jeff!!
Cool
You are the reason I rode to Eureka Springs! I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!! I’m riding to Born Free in California June 25th and 26th!
Awesome!!! Stoked to be a part of the adventure.
Another great video. Always impressed by content and videography. Love the Sportster, my first Harley was a 1968 XLCH Sportster. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you!! This one was a little hard to put together since I had to cut the story short on Day 2 with the GoPro flying off the handlebars lol! Glad you enjoyed it!!
@@ridetofood If you can a video on the Sportster would be nice. Thank you.
Love the latest drop! I do enjoy your content! Keep it coming. Can't go wrong with a burrito stand endorsed by Sasquatch 😁.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it :)
That sportster is rad. I feel like I need a mini sporty chopper in my life to go with the scrambler sportster 😂 Great video!
You absolutely do!!! Hahaha
been a awile but worth the wait.. nice sporty kewl vid cheers
It has been a while! Whoops! :) thanks for watching, as always!
Raton pass is fun to ride over and so is Hw# 64, Colfax tavern is interesting too.
Indeed!!
I love those old skool hard tail chops. Back in the early 1990's there was a big grass roots custom movement in the UK. I built quite a few Triumph engines, many of which went into traditional choppers with looooong girder forks. I wonder where they all are now? Looks likes a really fun event.
How cool!!!! Definitely would be cool if you could track down some of those old machines and see where they are now. Glad ya enjoyed the video :)
Damnn yall drink and eat goooood
Always the goal!
Good looking Sporty but that seat makes my kidneys want to bleed!
No kidneys have bled in the adventures this sportster has taken me on over the years. :)
Found your channel just yesterday! Came for Texas riding vids, stayed for Colorado riding vids. (Both states I'd like to move to when I inevitably move to the USA)
They’re two of the best, in my opinion 🤗
@@ridetofood I agree! Personally I love the Texas mindset (it's kind of a totally different country isn't it?) and it's deserts, but Im a softie for mountains... Imagine my dilemma
Dammit!! I wanna Harley now!! This videos fun inspiring!! to get out there and arm wrestle 🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
Knees in the breeze, elbows on the table! Haha
I really enjoyed this video. First, I was really glad to see that your sporty has rear suspension😊 I also got a kick out of the burrito truck guy with a huge side arm!
Good to see you again
That was a lady!!!! Hahaha! I was wondering if anyone else would notice her packin! Welcome to the Wild West 😎🤠
@@ridetofood that’s even better!! I loved it!
Hello from New Zealand awesome content
Hello! Thanks for watching :)
Girl you are too damn cool 🤘🤘🤘
Haha just L I V I N !
@@ridetofood alright, alright, alright!
Looks like you was lucky to make it out of the castle! Lol
Hahaha lived to see another day!
Enjoy your videos. awesome looking sporty you made it onto TN Mike's video with it.
I wonder if I know TN Mike by another name because that one isn’t ringing a bell but, I’ll have to find that video! :) thanks for watching!
So another great show! the roads the trees the eateries!! . I bet the sporty was fun in the twisties, but not the Dyna . enjoyed your close ups especially with your hair down , not to forget the blueberry cheese cake yummm !! :-)) here in calif. in Orange County we have the Born Free motorcycle show two days it used to have a annual date BUT after covid it was canceled in 2020 then the date change , ton's of old bikes come out many classes my fav. the FXR, DYNA show :--)) like I say ,more riding less internet .
Born frees a great time! The sixth one was quite a rager at the campground hahahahaha
I dig that swingarm Panhead with the Crazy Frank's tail section. Ride safe.
He rode it all the way from the Midwest! so rad
@@ridetofood Old bikes; if built right and not beat on too much; will get you where you need to go. Back in 1982, I rode my 84 cu. in. Pan/Shovel chopper from Cleveland, OH to Boston -- down the Hudson to NYC and back to Ohio. Besides a run in with Dudley Do-Right and a flat rear tire, I didn't have any problems whatsoever. I like your Sporty -- nothing radical -- the fork is just the right length and you retained the front binder (smart move). The paint is tasty. So is that stainless two-into one exhaust. Ride safe. Stay frosty.
Thank you for another great video. If you get the 360 Max buy the bubbles that cover the lenses. 4 come in a box. Saved mine from a mount break.
I definitely want to visit these spots.
I personally don’t like using those but I know others who have had good luck with them. I have two Max’s now. Love these cameras! Thanks for the tip :)
Dig the sporty 🤙🏼 🔥 I just fabricated a new sissy for mine.
Niiiice!!
That castle is cool as shit reminds me of that crazy Smith Mansion outside Cody Wyoming. Love north eastern New Mexico
going to have to google the smith mansion now! First time hearing about it. :) Thanks for watching!
SPORTSTERS RULE!!
🤘😎🤘
hi frm grand junction!!
Right over the hills are ya?! 🏔🏔🏔Sportsters forever!
@@ridetofood yessum!
rode my ironhead 2day but my clutch cable broke so gotta wait for new 1 frm lowbrow now.
good video hug pierre brazil 🇧🇷

Thank you! 😊
Great video, on our trip from Denver to the 5 State Run in Oklahoma,my GoPro mount snapped off and the camera bounced right into my lap, lucky.
Lucky indeed!
Another great video, always a pleasure to watch. The seat on that sportster looked pretty thin, I hope it was still a comfortable trip.
I’ve ridden that bike across the country and back a few times so I’m just used to it at this point lol!
Ride Safe and enjoy your riding season.
Those steps and overlook was definitely sketchy. Wheeeww!!!!
Definitely!!
🍻🍻🍻
Cheers!
Looks like a great time! Can’t believe you go for a swim in your clothes and then jump on your bike sopping wet and ride! I’d freeze to death I think. But as they say “when you’re old you’re cold”… 🥶
It was 97° out and it’s the high desert. We were completely dry in under 10 minutes lol!
❤ Thank you great vedio
🤘⚡️🤘✨✨✨✨
Thanks bud! Hope all is well :)
No riding jacket, no helmet just T-shirt, sunglasses and hat wearing backwards. that's my kind of riding. Awesome video :)
Glad ya enjoyed it :)
Stayed in Raton for a day in September. I didn't find any of the fun rowdy people it looks like you found though.
It was smoking hot and I had to buy a hotel room for air conditioning.
The run is in July so that’s probably why it was a little more quiet lol!
Nice! Congrats for the travels! Do you have more pictures of the panhead crazy frank chopper?
nope!
If the clothes get wet, the wind will dry it!
DIY air conditioning 🤘
Man that sportster looks so much better in video vs pictures. Good camera setup! Also curious what your fork length and suspension setup is..I assume it’s stock rake as well?
haha thank you!! I love this thing so much. Yep, stock frame/rake. 12" Rear Suspension with 4+ Tubes up front. I'll do a walkaround video explaining it all if I get enough interest in it from this video.
Mmmmm blueberry cheesecake
The best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life, was that slice. Shew.
I remember you saying you were going to do some videos of your sportster a few months ago.
Here’s one of em! 🤗
Well done. I'm guessing this wasn't a March ride. Take care.
I film in the summers and edit in the winters so defintiely not, lol! Filmed in July of 2021 :) Thanks for watching!!!
Ride to Raton is when?I want to ride down from N. Colorado the long way on my Chovelhead.Enjoyed the video.
Not sure if it’s still goin on! Usually happens in the summer
Amazing video, I already became a fan. Quick question, what's the length on that front fork extension? 6over or 8over? Thanks!!!
4+ 🤘 and thank you!
The Sportster lives! A good video to blow that crappy Mechanic's bad juju out the pipe
Haha that’s the Dyna you’re thinking of!!
@@ridetofood well now that both are up I'm excited to see both in videos! They're gorgeous bikes
I have watched way too many chick vlogs, but you’re is the best…I am putting together a ride for 8 guys, this September from San Diego thru Az, CO, NM and back to San Diego, ( Ten Days and 2,900 miles) and on our trip is Pie Town and Raton…and now Bisho’s Castle, thanks to you…a question to you, is 9/12-9/21 too late to ride the high peaks in Colorado? Worried about snow…
Thanks for the kind words! 🤙 September is the PERFRCT time to ride the high roads and Colorado in general. That’s prime leaf peeping season. you’re in for a treat!! I posted a video a while back. The thumbnail says “I camped on a cliff”. That video was filmed the first week of October :)
Looks like a great time and I’ll riding out that way at the end of May. Just curious, what town is Burrito Banquet in ? Think I’m gonna have to make a stop there. Thanks
Cimmaron! Might want to google burrito banquet before you ride out there. I think she’s closed for the winter but not positive
😎🇩🇰😎
I can't relate :)
uh oh
are your forks 6 over or 8 over? bike looks awesome!
4+ in the front with 12” suspension on the rear :)
Great vid !!!looks like you did 105. Did u head down 25 or is there another backway to plueblo ? Then how to bishops everyone tells me i need to ride there lived here my entire life and have never been
We went down to Palmer lake via Sedalia! Then 25 to Pueblo
For bishops I took the highway of legends
What editing software do you use?
Premiere
10:20 Shovelhead- "Swedish" Chopper
Thanks for watching!
Hi Stacy,
What length fork extension?

@@ridetofood Thank you ~
@@ridetofood I purchased a 2012 '72' a year ago and tossing around some 💡 ideas. Found this video searching for " mini choppers " so I liked and subscribed.
Sportsters RULE ~
What kind of camera do you use for the car?
Car?

Vaya con Dios, GoPro. Your service will be missed.
It lived a good life! 🖤😎
Please do a spec video on your Sportster. I ride a Dyna and leaving tomorrow to pick up my 05 Sportster 1200. I plan on a similar build. Can you tell me how many over your front tubes are. Also what bars are you running? Thanks you. Bitchin bike

Ciao,vedo tutti i vostri video.ma non conosco linglese. Perché non fai in modo che si possa mettere la traduzione in italiano nei sottotitoli? Grazie e complimenti per i video
Ciao! Ho tutte le opzioni per la lingua dei sottotitoli attivate. Non so perché TH-cam non ha raccolto altre lingue oltre all'inglese, sfortunatamente.
