Solo Road Trip to Key West! Big mistake, but then...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2022
- A 2000 mile road trip, ALONE, on a borrowed Harley Road King, to KEY WEST. This time, I ride the MOST SCENIC roads such as Seven Mile Bridge, Ozello Trail, A1A, Tamiami Trail in the Everglades, and more. I visit @shadetreesurgeon, @UncleBogator and@BlockheadMoto. What's a road trip without broken itineraries, lost items, near heat stroke, and the feeling you get when it's just you, two wheels, and the road.

I always do solo riding, your comments on the benefits of going alone were right on point! The alone time on the open road is kind of therapeutic I think.
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Jane I thought I'm the only one trading with her
Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Jane
Wow, how? I'm a newbie and I need your suggestions.
THANKS YOU, I HAVE CONTACTED HER AND SHE RESPONDED.

Those scammers they promise to make up to $50,000 profit within the space of 7 days with just $500 to invest and end up not even refunding your capital but she's a woman of integrity, with $500 he will tell you she can only make profit within the range of $4000 to $8,900 and she actually delivers.... she's great
You’re really getting good at these, Carolyn. That 30 minutes just flew by!
Looking forward to another adventure.🙂
That face while drinking coffee was priceless.
You rock... I have been riding for 30 plus years. Suddenly, I have old friends (of smaller stature) both genders asking me about learning to ride. Aside from proper training I have pointed them all to your channel as a road map to becoming an excellent rider. You really are a great example for everyone.
Yay!!
Been a biker since I got my first bike, a Honda 350 scrambler when I was 16. Now, at 57, I still enjoy doing roadtrips alone. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hi, I used to enjoy riding Honda CL -350 Scramblers. They were screamers. The other day I was trying to recall if their redline was 11,500 or 10,500 R.P.M. or not. Do you recall? I have not ridden one since 1970.
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 I'm thinking 10,5. The one thing I recall vividly is the bike being a 350, but the the cyl jug was marked 325. Other than that, and having to tighten up the exhaust every ride, my memory is kinda fuzzy.most weir
@@jamieweirdworld Hi, thanks, never had the exhaust problem. The sad thing about the 350s was the ends of the camshafts were mounted directly to aluminum instead of brass/ bronze plain bearing bushings like the Hondas that preceded it such as the CB/CL 160s. I feel they would have been a more long-lived engine. Anyways, I sure liked riding the 350s.
That was a REALLY GOOD video. You're a pro. You showed good things that happened, bad things that happened, great scenery. I watch a lot of videos like yours about motorcycle trips made by quite a few different people on youtube and I really liked this one a lot. It looks like a very well put-together summary of your trip that was enjoyable to watch.
Another great video! I am from the UK and would love love love to do that ride one day!
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate how awesome Alexis is, offering to drive a 2 hour round trip to get your keys! What an angel!
seriously!! #TeamAlexis
You are amazing!!! What a Role Model you are for other's. Your skills have improved so much!!! You're so confident that you are listening to music and dancing and seem to be having a great trip. Great idea of doing that route... Way to Document your adventures so your Family, Friends and RUclips follower's can always ride along with you virtually... You're a awesome westerly neighbor....
*SQUEAL* “She’s BACK!!!”...Ya made me cry (yes, again 😂)! In addition to the scenic roads, laughs and adventures with great friends and time with familia, I was so touched by all the good hearted people you met along the way! Thank you God for protecting Carolyn, getting her home safely and all the wonderful souls you put on her path 🙏♥️🙏. Thank you so much for this video, it was well worth the wait! (I’ve been on a social media fast since early January, was especially excited to see this today ♥️).
I understand the riding alone thing. I too solo travel on my bikes. Just love the peace. Stay safe friend.
By far, one of the BEST videos I've seen in a long time.
I really appreciate all the hard effort you put into these videos.
Safe travels.
Eric in Kissimmee.
That was brilliant, it had the idea, the journey, moments of nostalgia an key fob jeopardy. What a perfect 31.54 mins of time you have taken from me. Well done 👍😁
Hi Doodle, I'd really like to see you traveling through all the States. As an italian i'd love to watch all the different States told by you in your funny, interesting, insipered way!
Viva Guzzi!
Hey Doodle! Thanks for sharing, to date I would have to say this was one of the best videos, enjoyed every minute! Enjoy the ride 😎
I agree with your reasons for riding alone. I love riding alone, making stops along my route when I feel like it, and enjoying everything at my pace.
MY GORGEOUS QUEEN 😍
🤪 👑 ❤️
I always love watching someone do something they thought was hard or impossible
Living vicariously through your trips. Thanks. Continue to explore, learn and have fun.
Hey Doodle! Now you understand why southerners always complain about the humidity and love our sweet tea. Great video, always stay hydrated even if you aren't thirsty. The woman who gave you a ride was so nice and her dog obviously liked you. 😎
I guess I suck at sarcasm. But I'm not judgmental like you. Like or dislike but I don't need your approval to comment last I checked.
Haha you butchered Islamorada 🤣. Glad everything worked out, Always an epic adventure with Doodle 🙌🏾. 🌠
This was an absolute piece of art doodle!! You’re really coming along with editing and all, can’t wait to see what’s next!! As always ride safe guys
Carolyn, I love all of your content. With my ADD my attention span and interest level wavers quickly, but I find myself watching your entire videos. I'm also in a similar spot. I'm a relatively new rider, and I love to travel. I often find myself travelling alone, which I'm ok with, I enjoy it. I'm picking up tips, and spots to see from your content, so please keep up the great work. One 3400 mile trip in September, and a 2200 mile trip last month. (not on my YT channel, but on Tiktok). The commitment to film, edit, vlog, post, and keep content engaging is just too much for me :).
That was very kind for that lady to give u a ride back to ur key fob. There are still good people out there. I did the same ride to Key West on a Road King…
The dog is so happy.
Never skipped a moment! Thank you for sharing this experience. Ride safe and stay healthy always!
You are an inspiration to so many people, keep it up , ride safe and God bless and keep you safe 🙏
It's so awesome that you stopped thru Flagler, also my favorite part of Florida. When I was a teenager, I used to visit my grandparents' condo every summer and a couple of Christmas breaks.
Love Flagler :D
Videos like this make me realize how much I love motorcycles! awesome video great work thanks for sharing this experience with the world.
Another quality video, very inspiring. I've got a trip planned for May and your video has helped me anticipate a couple of issues (boots, oil). Looking forward to more of your adventures!
You are such a loveable goofball! This was an epic adventure to follow along, hoping for many more! 🙏😍
This was fantastic! thank you so much for sharing this. Really enjoyed everything. Safe travels!
Excellent video... thoroughly enjoyed it! Cant wait for the next one... 😊👍
Wow! Fantastic vlog. It is amazing to see all the sights heading to the most southern point of the.US. Thanks for everything that you do. You are an inspiration. I started with a Kawasaki Vulcan S and have moved up to a Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic. Can’t wait for it to warm up in Milwaukee! I’ve gotta believe that you will get a new generation of women bikers on the road. Keep up the great work.
Hey Carolyn, Thanks for the enjoyable ride-along! Though I've been through Key West on a cruise ship with friends, I still want to do it on a motorcycle --- especially after seeing your journey. Ride safely. Glad you were able to recover the FOB (BTW, remember to get the emergency start code next time).
Omg just Keep an eye on the humidity 😅
Another great video Carolyn. Love coming along on your adventures
I'm just so envious. What an amazing trip. Keep up the great vids
Welcome back Doodle. Excellent video, definitely worth the wait. Solo rides are the way to go. Glad the problems weren't major, and that you made it before summer before Florida heat and humidity get brutal!
She made me think it was pretty brutal as it was!
@@Boysenberr Yeah but it’s gonna get a lot worse!!
@@neilm0369 O :
@@Boysenberr Tampa summers are miserable 😖
I took my first big solo trip recently (in February on the East Coast of Australia). Absolutely loved it as I was able to change plans or stop any time I liked. Wish I had done it sooner. I was a bit envious of the Road King you were riding as I would love to have been able to lock all my gear in panniers (I only had a ventura bag on the back of my bike which made it hard to leave the bike unattended).
I love your content! The ups and downs makes it soooo much better. Showing people that they can overcome anything..
This was a great video. Thank you for sharing all of it❤❤❤
Man this takes me back, was on holiday in Miami and drove to the keys back in 2006. Just 2 weeks ago I drove across a similar bridge as 7 mile bridge, going east from Lisbon, Portugal
What a beautiful ride. You rock woman!! ❤️
This was a great video. Very inspiring, informative and just plain fun to watch! Great job!
Lol I said you should get the coconut water then you said I should gotten the coconut water 😂🤣. Thank You for sharing your ride and adventure and I really enjoyed it.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier! 🤪
I remember losing my Fob and keys when I left them in the trunk lock. Realized about 20 mins later at the gas station; fortunately had the PIN code (and the manual) saved on my phone and got started again. Backtracked and found the keys, run over a couple times, but still working. Making life an adventure is a win. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Another great video, thanks 👍🏻 thanks for taking us on your adventures 👍🏻
So fun to watch you explore:).
I’m so proud of you! You go girl.
Another great video. As many others have mentioned, you continually get better as you go. Your content is fantastic, and what makes it even better is that you're just one of us, not trying to be something you're not and trying to make yourself important or seem snobby like some others. And you hit the nail on the head when you gave the reasons you ride alone. All the same reasons I ride alone. Keep going as you are, and you and your channel will thrive!
Hey Doodle..!! Wow...excellent, relaxing and so entertaining....thank you for the vicarious journey!
Thank you for taking us along! I enjoyed it so much! Can't wait to go on my own adventure!
I just wanted to say your videos are get better and better. This is the best yet. Looking forward to your next trip. 💯✌️🤟🤘
Thank you for sharing Doodle, looking forward to your next trip adventure.
Doodle,I always enjoy your adventures! Glad you have the balls to do this on your own!
Awsome trip, thanks for sharing, glad you got your key fob.
Taking the scenic route is always preferred,bombin down 95 can be a real chore!
That was a fun watch... Thanks Carolyn!
Ive been riding solo for around 45 years and would never think of doing it different. It is hard to describe but the "meditation value" is so much higher when alone. BTW... I, personally, would never ride without having my phone ON me, not in a box, not mounted on the handlebars, but in a pocket... if you get thrown off the bike, and injured, and cant get back to the bike, the phone in the saddle bag is useless... Great vids...awesome atmosphere....keep rolling....500 bucks a night for that room at the Keys... are you freaking kidding me... wow.... I could stay 10 days in a similar room over here in Spain....I always knew the US was expensive, but thats just loco...;-)
What an awesome video this was. I really enjoyed it. Having taken that same route 15 years ago it was wonderful reliving it with you .
Yes!
I love riding alone.
Never doing the ultra rides but my long rides are wonderful alone because people are more willing to approach and chat!
You rock! Keep riding what you want!
What an amazing video! Love that you did it all as one video. Can’t wait for more of these!
You're the best Doodle! Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Impressive! Great to see how much you enjoy the life as a motorcyclist!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode especially the sights and hangouts, thanks for sharing.
Enjoy the ride 🏍🤩
Good job. Hopefully, I'll be doing some adventures like this this summer. Continue to have fun 👍
Another GREAT video Doodle!!!!!! Glad you had a another safe/wonderful ride/adventure and was able to enjoy yourself this time!!!! Sorry that you lost the key fob and caused a delay but that was a valuable lesson for everyone to learn to write down the pin code and carry it with you. Be safe and keep up the great videos!!!!
It was so sweet that you switched to Spanish once you realized that was what the gas station cashier was most comfortable with!
Yet another awesome video. Many thanks
I can only imagine loosing your key must have been a scary lonely feeling, glad you got it back. Great trip, nicely put together footage.
This is the 2nd video I've seen of you so far and I'm really enjoying them Can't wait to watch them all!! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic work lady. I'm glad to see you stopped trying to blow out major miles every single day. So much more enjoyable of a ride that way.
That trip was no small feat!! Impressive! Good for you, Doodle!
You rock Doodle. Such an inspiration.
I really liked this. I think your voice-over/commentary is excellent and the emotion of this trip really showed. Looking forward to the next one.
Your astonishment and wonder over things you see during your adventures is infectious!
Have fun, be safe.❤️🌹
Amazing ride! I'm so jealous. Keep up the great videos!
Getting back into riding after a 6 year hiatus, I found your channel while researching the street triple. This is a great video, really inspiring. The past 6 years I have stayed away from riding due to turning 26 and deciding that maybe it “was” a bit dangerous.
Now I finally feel ready to jump back in the saddle,as I simply haven’t been the same person all this time.
Thank you for the inspiration and great taste in motorcycles!
Great to see you posting again. Nice content, Thanks!
Scenic routes make the trip and good for you for taking the King on this adventure!
This was really great for me. Really enjoyed it. Awesome adventure. Beautiful scenery on a beautiful machine. Thanks for making this.
Great video. Very well done. Every trip an adventure.
Thank you for all the work that must go into producing one of these videos. It seemed very professional, and thoroughly enjoyable.
That was awesome Doodle! Well worth the wait. :-) Looking forward to the next one!
Excellent video, thank you!
Awesome. Love the lady that helped you. We need more of this in our nation.
Subscribed! I’m glad you got a chance to enjoy my old stomping grounds! Yep it’s the travel season and rooms are going to be sky high. It’s moments like yours that you’ll remember for the rest of your life!
This was awesome. Bravo my fair lady 👌
That bike is so big and fab Caro, but it should have a changing cubicle on it for you to whip in to shorts and vest top + sandals. 🤣🤣 looked so much fun, thanks for sharing 😊👍🏽♥️🏍
That’d be cool!!! 😅 maybe I can just spin like wonder woman
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 🤣🤣🏍💨💃🏽
Glad to watch this road trip already, been waiting for it. It was very good video and worth the wait 🙂
Great video! What an amazing trip, I'm so jealous. It's been great seeing you ride Harley baggers. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Awesome video. Key West is my dream ride, thanks for taking us along. Damn. you're easy on the eyes.
looks like an amazing ride! Thank you for the content!
Awesome, and you're cute too! 2 down be safe! No bike is to big..😎
You are rocking it and we support you at We Are Bikers - Where Bikers Unite!
I stumbled upon your videos just watching motorcycle video and never thought I would sit through a full episode of a 31 minute video but your videos are just down right relaxing. My wife and I are in to cars and I have a few friends with bikes. I have always wanted a bike. Your video's see so free spirited and natural. I love them. May just convince me at my old age to go to motorcycle school and see what it's all about. Thank you for your work on these. At the end of this video I got a little emotional. Just to see the end of your trip and all you go through to give such amazing vids is special.
yeah, I'm from deep south Texas (just 20miles North of rio grande River) and Florida is too humid for me!
What a great video! Thanks for sharing. You've certainly come a long way from dropping your Suzuki & Triumph! Lol. I think it's awesome and inspiring that you challenge yourself like this. Look forward to more of your adventures.
Hi Doodle Rob n I loved your latest Trip video. Entertaining and scenic and your lovely personality shines thru 😍 We think you're on the right track with your videos and we can't wait for the next one! 😀 Shirl
Loved the video! Thanks for sharing
