A nice relaxing adventure. The art of story telling and creating a compelling feature is one of your greatest strengths. Thanks for taking us along with you.
@SterlingNoren. Thanks , brings back memories. I've spent most of the last 5 years in Why. Why didn't you mention Why, 😂😂😮😅. Been following you and your events ( at the hotel and BRD )for a while. Stuck in Pittsburgh right now but be back in Why next month. You have an open invitation to come and checkout more of the Sonoran Desert, ie; Quitobaquito and the El Camino Diablo!
Stirling I've watched many of your videos over time but have to say the added dimension and insight meeting people you met on this trip has made this video one if not your best. Your filming and editing has always been first class but meeting people has certainly elevated things. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
I don't think I have ever in my life found a person like Ed, the tranquility and serenity after thinking about what regrets he might have had was disarming, a blessing for you and also for us who avidly watch your videos from a faraway country. Thank you Noren , I enjoyed this video very much.
Beautifully done exposition of our backyard here in Southern AZ. The interviews brought it all home. The humanity of it is touching. Thank you! James, Tucson.
Thanks Stirling for a superb episode, love the mix of travelling to out of the way places in the USA, camping, meeting local characters ….etc. Ride safe….all the best from Cambridge UK🇬🇧
The element of the interaction with people in your travels brings a wonderful dimension to your artistic prowess as a cinematographer! Following all of your videos, I recall the same feelings and feedback on your Canada trip segments, where you interviewed some people along the way. Keep it up. Thanks for taking us along!
Stirling, that was amazing! I love meeting locals when I'm on two wheels. It feels like I have instant cred with everyone I can speak with. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in Silver City, BTW. Good to see you out on the BMW!
Sterling, thanks for sharing these most beautiful towns and folks along the way throughout some of the borders we have with Mexico. As always with your adventures I so wish to tag along to absorb the richness you find. Thank you, please continue to pulse the locals to show us the beauty you have on your adventures. You give us so many stirring sights and locations to find on our Butler maps. See you on the roads 😊
You are such a natural story teller, and your cinematography is the perfect match to your stories. I like this type of content that is reachable for many riders. It really made me realize that I can enjoy life on my motorcycle without having to make it a huge adventure. I'm now really looking forward to our riding season to come back to BC, and get out alone in the mountains again.
At 18:00 that gas station saved my life. Was about to be empty on my Africa Twin and there was a younger girl working there that helped me get gas. Nice people!
I've enjoyed this video much I know it's hard to put your self out there but the time you took to talk to people was especially good. Keep doing good work God bless.
Wow, after 20+ years in the area, I was completely amazed and laughed as I agreed with each type of person you came across. You definitely captured the diverse mix of people around here.
That was a righteous mustache. Good to see some GS action again. Love these small border towns - very interesting. Chair water coffee - that’s different…
Great ride Sterling. Definitely beautiful country. It always amazes me the unique and storied characters you can meet along the way, if you're respectful and take the time to listen. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Look forward to the next. Ride safe.🇨🇦
Thank you for documenting and sharing this trip. At the end of this video I am sitting here wanting more, with a smile on my face. I have to get out more.
I love the desert. Your videography and photography skills are spectacular. Thanks for taking the time to tell the story of your adventure. Ed was such a cool addition to this story, Safe travels and I'm looking forward to watching more of your future adventures. Peace.
That smell in the arid desert that we smell after the rain is petrichor. I've lived in quite a few places and it is unique. I enjoy it. Excellent video, Sterling.
Thanks for taking us along Stirling, your videos are always very well made and entertaining. I passed by your hotel last year and I hope 2 c you again next month. 😊
Another great ride along video. You have the gift of a storyteller, not unlike the storytellers of long gone civilizations. Except for updated media and equipment. I mean that as a compliment. In case you’re wondering, some of us do take note of the effort required to get some of those shots.
I've been watching your motorcycle travel videos for a couple years a I believe your new focus on capturing some of the interesting characters you encounter on your travels adds depth and interest to your videos and is a great growth opportunity for you and your films. I look forward to seeing your expanding adventures and I hope to catch up with you at your hotel sometime this year as I stretch my own motorcycle adventures over the coming years.
I am in Green Valley this winter, so I really enjoyed watching you visit all these places that aren't too far from me. I had to leave my trail 125 up in the northwest and your videos really make me want to make sure I bring it with me next time. Thanks for the inspiration.
I worked for Sky Island Alliance in the 90's. Can vouch for the bird watching. Your video brought up a TON of memories. Thank you for this. I love this new storytelling element in your videos!
I really like this format, meeting and sharing with us the people along your travels, combined with camping and nature. I think it's fantastic that you push yourself out of your comfort zone. Very inspiring.
I really liked the camera work, the music, scenery, the overall narrative and the characters. All connected by Sterling's non nonsense straight up sort of deadpan delivery, which gave it a true western character. This is just excellent.
I really enjoyed seeing this new idea of yours come to life on film. Felt like you were showcasing some folks that were forgotten about. You have a gift.
another great show my friend! you motivated me to get an ADV bike and get back into moto…i did over 10,000 miles in 2 months last summer, camping 75% of the time. you are a wealth of knowledge and i’m glad you are getting out of your comfort zone and filming random people you bump into. well done! brian wade, anacortes, wa
Love the videos with the GS out and exploring the backroads. This was really good. I agree with you on those grasslands. That looks awazing. I would love to ride out there some day.
Hey Stirling, we met back in 2021 when I did my first motorcycle trip to Tombstone from Houston, TX. I stopped at you hotel and said hi, you had a band playing in the back of the hotel. I now live in Sierra Vista and learning all rides I can. Unfortunately, I only have a Harley and can't get up the mountians dirt roads with it. I Will have to plan out a trip and see if I can make it happen. Thank you for all the videos. Keep doing what you do.
Sterling, nice video and a nice challenge for yourself. Like many others have commented, the added dimension of meeting people along the way really adds to the video. Looking forward to next Sunday's release.
Nice video presentation of the borderlands in AZ. FYI - that wonderful smell in the air after a rain is called petrichor. There's a name for everything!
Sterling, thank you for another great video. I enjoy all your adventures through the beautiful state of Arizona. I have been to many of those places in this video over the years. Thank you for posting.
A nice relaxing adventure. The art of story telling and creating a compelling feature is one of your greatest strengths. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Wow, thank you!
@SterlingNoren
Fascinating Ride !¡!
Great Video too.
I must see more of Kit Peak!
Did they have Overnight Camping there?
@SterlingNoren. Thanks , brings back memories. I've spent most of the last 5 years in Why. Why didn't you mention Why, 😂😂😮😅.

Thanks - I've been enjoying your videos more than I realized.. To me, you are the Bob Ross of motorcycle RUclipsrs. Cheers

Crawling into your tent at 14:25 backlit by the moon… Pretty incredible stuff my friend.
Nature's nightlight.
And that moth you could see flying around in the tent enjoying the comfort too.
This is one of your best videos in years!! As a BMW guy, I love the motorcycle stuff, but getting to the people while on the bike, priceless!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see you back on the GS Sterling in that beautiful landscape with your best formula….best wishes from England👍🏻
Thanks 👍

Nice to see content back on the moto
Noren redefines the motorcycle travel channel. Then, the destination. Now, the people. Keep innovating.
The man you met is a fully awakened soul. He was describing the birth of the soul. ❤❤❤

It was good to be back on familiar ground.

As usual, wonderful photography, narration and educational content. Nice job Sterling.
Many thanks!
NICE Touch with the interviews Thank you
Oh Yes, meeting people in your video's add so much to the travel story. Keep challenging yourself Sterling. 🙂

Great film and a happy new year from a snowy Cheshire in the uk
Happy new year!
One of your best ever videos Stirling. So interesting seeing the different characters and getting the feel of the different towns. Loved it!
Amazing video and the way you edit it is like a watching a small movie, thanks for sharing !
That smell in the arid desert that we smell after the rain is petrichor. I've lived in quite a few places and it is unique. I enjoy it. Excellent video, Sterling.
Another excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing with us. The rain in the desert is definitely a blessing, & the smell afterwards is heavenly.
Love this new series, Sterling!
I was in Sierra Vista last month helping my in-laws move house and was introduced to Lyle who works for the county and his wife.
What a small world 👍👌
Great video. I love seeing these little desert towns. Being from the Midwest I just find these so interesting. Thanks
Hello Sterling, I enjoy all your content but my favorite videos are with the BMW R1200GS.
Thanks for taking us along Stirling, your videos are always very well made and entertaining. I passed by your hotel last year and I hope 2 c you again next month. 😊

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you appreciated the effort that went into getting these shots.
There is so much unheard wisdom inside some of the quiet and unseen elder people.
I agree.
Great video as always!! One of the best moto channels around!
Much appreciated!
The music you set to the rides is amazing and adds such a wonderful touch to a very well done travel log. Always interesting, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Sterling, you have a unique perspective with your cinematic journalism that tells your story in a kind an meaningful manner. Ride on.
Thanks for the kind words!

Easily one of my favorite videos of yours! Really great.

Oh my god... This shot here is just amazing 27:10
Yet another great video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! This makes me want to get out and video some of mine.
I love your stories! Greetings from Vienna 🇦🇹
Sterling, love the video and can not add more to all of the great comments. Just love it. TU
I really liked the camera work, the music, scenery, the overall narrative and the characters. All connected by Sterling's non nonsense straight up sort of deadpan delivery, which gave it a true western character. This is just excellent.
I like your RUclips handle Sal… paradice? Isn’t that from Kerouac?
@@SterlingNoren Yes Sterling! -Sal Paradise from the novel On The Road.
You make amazing videos! Thank you for your time and effort!
Glad you like them!
I really enjoyed seeing this new idea of yours come to life on film. Felt like you were showcasing some folks that were forgotten about. You have a gift.

Thank you for this amazing content. You plan some of the most amazing routes!
I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it!
When I saw the rain drops on your tent I could smell the petrichor in that scene.
Great video Sterling. Very enjoyable and makes me want to go ride down there.
No regrets! One of your best yet. Thoroughly enjoyed the interactions with the people you met. I wish we could cross paths one day
Love the videos with the GS out and exploring the backroads. This was really good. I agree with you on those grasslands. That looks awazing. I would love to ride out there some day.
Thanks, Sterling. Great story, never know who you'll meet out there on the bike.

Sterling, nice video and a nice challenge for yourself. Like many others have commented, the added dimension of meeting people along the way really adds to the video. Looking forward to next Sunday's release.
I think you’re right on track focusing on the people aspect of the travels. That’s the most inspiring part of it all.
Great work, as always!
What a beautifully reflective film Sterling. I love these encounters and of course the images and vistas are stunning as ever.
I think that was my favorite journey on this channel. And boy there have been some good ones. Thanks for the ride and fantastic filming
Loved this one, Sterling! The portraits (and stories) are just wonderful!
Sterling, you are becoming my AZ recon man as I contemplate making AZ my winter home. Thank you for this beautiful and thoughtful video.
I love your new challenge! Great video - excellent content!
Beautiful adventure, loving this content👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video presentation of the borderlands in AZ. FYI - that wonderful smell in the air after a rain is called petrichor. There's a name for everything!
Sterling, thank you for another great video. I enjoy all your adventures through the beautiful state of Arizona. I have been to many of those places in this video over the years. Thank you for posting.
Awesome and continue the people theme. Emmy award winning video.
This is your best video yet! Thanks for posting and can't wait to take this ride myself
I have missed your RUclips posts and glad to see you make another video
I really enjoyed this vid, very well done! Good to see you out there on the Beemer. Ride On!
Thanks, you too!
