I'm glad you still put out the video! You could of just not posted that you "bit off ore then you can chew" in your words. Rather, you showed guys its okay to swing big and if it doesn't work out that's okay! Loving the videos! I'm on a Scout Rogue. Best bike! Well, best bike until i get an Indian Pursuit.
I'm glad to see you made it safely to Taos and were reasonable dealing with the Texas heat. Having both traveled alone and camped alone, I can say it's a very different experience from traveling with friends and/or family. Austin to Taos is a heck of an adventure on its own. Ride safe.
Right outside of Taos is the Rio Grande Gorge- a MUST see. I know what mean about suddenly packing up and turning back. The 1st time I went to the Taos/Sante Fe area, I didnt realize how much there was actually to do up there that I couldn't do without proper planning. I basically just jumped into the Jeep and hauled butt from Abilene. I stayed 3 days, did some things, mostly driving looking for stuff to do. The trip ended up just being a scenic road trip, which is 100% fine because its beautiful up there.
Awesome scenery on this trip. It's amazing how much gear you can pack for camping on your bike. I'm getting to old to sleep on the ground though. I know exactly what you mean about when you're riding, it's no issue of being by myself, but when I'm stopped, I kinda feel like, now what? Thanks for sharing.
Did it already. Rode solo from Birmingham to Santa Fe, then to San Antonio. Not my furthest solo trip but riding solo is where it’s at. Why? Because you’re in complete control of where you go and what you do. I take a solo trip cross country every year. It is my therapy.
I'm just north of Austin close to Temple. I love riding alone so that I can control everything. I may try this ride soon and see how it goes. Sorry that you got bored and headed back early, sometimes I feel the same way. Anyhow, take care!
Don't feel too bad. I got a feeling the more you ride by yourself the better you will get at it. Being out on the open road isn't easy especially when you are by yourself. Until next time.
Hi Kyle, New Scout Bobber owner. Love your posts. Have you done a video on how to pack for a trip on the Bobber. Love to see one if haven’t. Stay safe out there.
Brother I’m right there with you. Solo trips are totally a different. Specially with someone who is antsy and deals with anxiety,anxiousness. I think for me it’s more of the fact that Iam away from my comfort zone, in a new area that(the unknown) I am working to overcome this because I fell that it’s holding me back.
Yeah being alone in an unfamiliar area had me real antsy and uncomfortable. It was a barrier I had to break and the more I do it the more comfortable it’s getting. Also being with friends it’s just better in my opinion haha.
@@cruisingwithkyle yea definitely better with friends. Rio de crusty valley in New Mexico was out of this world. I was there last year when I went to Santa fe.
Kyle did you go into the town of Taos...go to Santa Fe..Angel Fire etc...looking maybe to go in October from Houston..what route did you take..roads looked pretty nice...keep riding brother..I was going solo to Deadwood last month but got re-directed due to a family gathering..oh well next year...
Thanks! Yeah I cruised through. I’ve stay in Taos/ Angel Fire before, I love it up there. I came out of Texas and went to Fort Sumner, up to Las Vegas, then to Taos. It’s a great ride but I wouldn’t recommend it during the summer haha it’s pretty hot until you get into the mountains.
I love riding solo long distances on my 2022 Scout Rogue. I went from Illinois, through Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky and back to Illinois for my first trip after I got the bike. Then this past May I went from Chicago to Durango, Colorado. I went to ride the Million Dollar Highway in the Rockies. If I had more time off work I would have kept riding to California. I love being alone though. Also I stay in fancy casino hotels comped haha, my back is too messed up for the ground.
Haha I wish that was me! I think the more trips I take solo the more comfortable I’ll be with chilling alone. I need to find ways not to be bored so a casino is a good idea haha.
@@cruisingwithkyle You are also younger, when I was younger I always wanted to be around friends, and in my 30s/40s I like being by myself. My wife doesn’t go with me on my long trips (they are always solo). She rides her own bike but can’t ride for long distances and through inclement weather.
Yep I did, sorry I meant to reply just got busy at work when I saw it and forgot haha. Thanks for letting me know! Still waiting on the parts from Dean Speed to come in but I’ll let you know how it goes.
It’s the Viking Patriot large bags. They’re not specifically meant for the Scout but pretty universal and easy to throw on and off. www.vikingbags.com/viking-patriot-motorcycle-throw-over-saddlebags
I really enjoy all your videos man, much respect
Thanks! I appreciate it.

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t know what to expect doing it alone. I’m glad I did it but next time I’d prefer to have some people around haha.
I definitely understand that. Regardless, the mere fact that you even set out on this solo adventure is more than most people will ever do.

I’ve been to it but not on the bike. It’s amazing!

Thank you! Yeah I underestimated that part of traveling alone, I’ll need to find some sort of entertainment for future adventures haha.
Im in Texas (DFW) and just got a scout 60 really enjoy your channel so far!
Right on, thanks! I got family up there in Arlington, need to take a cruise there soon.
@@cruisingwithkyle nice im in Grand Prairie right next to arlington
A fun video to watch 🎉. Very well done !
Thank you!

That’s awesome! Yeah I just need to get more comfortable taking solo trips.

Oh nice! It’s a good ride, I just need to get used to doing more solo trips.
@@cruisingwithkyle You can ride with someone instead if you don't like being alone. No shame in that.
Don't feel too bad. I got a feeling the more you ride by yourself the better you will get at it. Being out on the open road isn't easy especially when you are by yourself. Until next time.
Thanks! I appreciate it. You live and you learn and it was a great learning experience. Until next time!
I wondered about going solo too.
Hello
your videos are alway great!!
I just wonder the reason why did you change end bar mirrors?
Thanks! I wanted larger mirrors that were easier to use for the long trip. I put the bar end mirrors back on when I got back.
Hi Kyle, New Scout Bobber owner. Love your posts. Have you done a video on how to pack for a trip on the Bobber. Love to see one if haven’t. Stay safe out there.
I haven’t yet but that’s a good idea. I appreciate it!

Hey Kyle did you see my response about YES BLEED THE LINE?
I started feeling concerned. Lmk brother

It’s the Viking Patriot large bags. They’re not specifically meant for the Scout but pretty universal and easy to throw on and off.

Which part of Texas did you start
I started in Austin.

And I thought riding from Helotes to New Braunfels in 105 heat was bad lol.
Haha anything above 100 is horrible.
