Very nicely done. As I sit in my living room (9 degrees) waiting for moments like this to come. Love the music. Enduring the cold rain makes the warm evening sunset so worth it.
In 2014 I too took a great trip visiting 62 or 65 capital cities in Canada & USA - Juneau (rock slide blocked road), Honolulu (ocean) and Iqaluit (no roads at all) were missed. A solo trip , it took 80 days and I travelled 43,000 km (26,000 mi.) Met a lot of really nice people, learned a lot and saw some spectacular scenery. Wildlife - wolf, bison, seals, eagles, etc. mostly in northern Canada. Did western Canada first then the northern states (WA to WV), south to TN, west to CA then east to FL, up the Atlantic coast to the Canadian maritime provinces and Newfoundland, west to Quebec City & Ottawa. Absolutely phenomenal experience. The following year my bike and I flew to Europe - 70 days through 17 countries. Canada has too much geography ; Europe has too much history. Another great trip.
Thanks for posting--great photos and music---my son and I have been on the same California roads and Arizona down from Portland --- f6b and a 1300 st --I could tell that Pacific Blue was talkin to you---Great shots of the Grand Canyon---the twisties---love the twisties !!! fun to watch---!!
this is awesome. showed this to my wife and best friend who rides. We always talk about doing this with wives, but we never make it out of TX with them. I envy y'all. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and amazing trip. Didn't you just love Colorado mountains. Loveland Pass is awesome! Colorado is my favorite place to ride. Spent a week in July, 2016 riding in the Rockies. Hope you have many more trips in the future.
Thanks that was a great video. I'm from Australia and it was good to see the Grand Junction to Death Valley section. My brother and I are looking at riding that route next year. Cheers!!!!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Massachusetts riders are some of the most hardcore out there! I hope i get the chance to do something like this in the future but until them, I'll prob watch this over and over.
Hey guys, very inspiring video! Nicely recorded and great soundtrack attached. Beautiful machines too. I'll get there too some time in the future. Keep on riding!
pretty awesome - gotta say. I can't imagine how much time and energy goes into putting together a video of this quality and length...but I thank you for doing it. My wife and I have about 27,000 miles in the past 2 years...but we haven't made the jump to video yet...heck, we are lucky to get enough pics...lol.
thank you! nice video ! and of course great adventure one that last a lifetime!.. and been brothers and friends is something beyond love... congratulations!... my and wife are right now preparing for our motocycle tour from monterrey mexico to las vegas and back, and are trhill about it! regards! from monterrey mexico
Great video. Thanks so much for sharing! I enjoyed the sound track, very nice selections. It was brilliant to go with trusted friends. And I think your choice of bikes was perfect as well! I hope to take a trip like this one day. This video was very inspiring.
Count yourselves lucky as hell you have ladies that are willing to ride with you. I have close to 85,000, to my name in the last 10 years. Mine is still unwilling, and I would have loved to share some of those adventures with her.
When I've been married for almost 30 years, not so much. Wives are not as disposable as motorcycles are. Besides, she's starting to come around and consider climbing on the back in the last few months. I'm patient. When she eventually does, I'll take her on a very gentle short ride to show here it is fun, then go from there.
I'm in the same boat. My wife doesn't care for motorcycles at all. I would've liked to have shared some of my adventures with her over the years, but then again I like riding solo too. I like being responsible for my own safety only and enjoy the ride much more if I don't have to worry about someone else. It's a trade-off I guess.
Yes I agreed, because also my wife hate motorcycles, but she made sell my old bike and gave me a brand new Harley Davidson Iron 883 2016. Now I have to convince her to make a trip, at least, like this one. and I am close to get my retirement to happen and I need to make this kind of adventure before I go for good.
Great video inspirational to say the least. Thanks for sharing I hope to be leaving from Boston to Monterey Bay this summer. am older so trailing but have my bike with me.
Awesome trip. Hopeful my wife will start going on trips with me. Do one big trip every summer. last summer was a 8200 mile and it would have been great with her with me. Glad to see your ladies were willing to go. Nothing like seeing the great USA on 2 wheels.
My recommendation is to make her as comfortable as you can on the back of the bike! gear seat wind protection! also if you don't have it Blue tooth headsets were a game changer, my wife never liked just sitting quiet on the bike being able to talk made her want to ride a lot more... Good luck!
Really enjoyed this video, enjoyed the editing and how you put it together, must have been a lot of work. Great music choices... The motorcycle riding wasn't bad either :)
i enjoyed this vid so much. i forgot my bread in the stove while i was watching after work.... :) one reason more to save (more) money for a mc trip in the usa... thumbs up, especially for the "iron butt" girls! greetings from germany :)
Four beautiful people on two beautiful bike on a beautiful adventure across beautiful America. Thanks for sharing. But what happened to the sound? Stay safe.
I have 4 trips, I would like to do in the next few years. 3 of them with the missus, one of then being cross-country and another Canada. We're getting her a starter this year and then she'll get upgrade to mine.
Great video. Loved the day by day graphics. You started in Boston and ended the trip in Arizona. Did you ship the bikes back to Boston? We are in the process of planning our epic adventure from FL to the Northern CA round trip. Would love to see a tips video.
Great video! I love the soundtrack. I'm taking a road trip out to Vegas from Denver at the end of next month. How cold was it from Denver to Glenwood Springs? I'm going a month earlier than when you passed through, so I know it will be colder, but if it's too cold, or snowy on I-70, I'm going to head south through New Mexico.
we hit flurries going over the rockies and temps dipped down to low 30s but it wasn't unbearable, heated grips and seats helped too, I am sure you know but loveland pass was awesome and would highly recommend it if you do take 70.
Enjoyed the vid! While you were going east to west, I shipped our bikes to Seattle, flew out there and rode them back on a northerly route back to Boston. 4,000 miles in 14 days. In 2014, we rode from Phoenix to Boston, 4,000 miles in 8 days. That pace was too much so we slowed it down on the Seattle to Boston ride. Did you ship the bikes home?
Where did you ship them to? I have wanted to do the same thing and can't figure out a location to ship them. I currently ride a Honda. Thought maybe a Honda dealer on the west coast would accept the delivery
For this trip, I used HAULBIKES.COM for shipping and sent the bikes to Lawless Harley Davidson, in Renton, Washington. Interesting background story: I ride a BMW and so does my riding buddy. We called the BMW dealer in Seattle to see if we could ship the bikes to them. After some complaining about the size and location of their dealership, they said OK but wanted to do some multi-point inspection and charge us a few hundred dollars per bike. My riding buddy told me to try the local HD dealer because "they're the best dealerships in the industry" (he's had 11 Harley's in his riding life). So I contacted Lawless HD. As my buddy predicted, they said, "No Problem, glad to help you out". The fee.....$0. They just want to promote the use of motorcycles and help out the touring rider(s). They already knew the shipping company and were a frequent Ship To address for them. When the bikes arrived there, in Mid-May, I got a call from them letting me know they arrived, as well as a message from a nice guy who reported one of the bikes had a scratch on it's left hard bag. He even sent me pics of it (the scratch was barely visible but that's how carefully they looked at the bikes). We flew out a couple of days later and they were just as nice in person. They refused to take any money so we "tipped" the person we dealt with and bought some items in their clothing section. It made me wonder, should my next bike be a Harley? Outstanding customer service that got our cross country trip off to a pleasant start.
Great video! I used to watch this video alot.. For some reason It went silent. Tried from friends phones.. still no sound.. Any chance you can upload again?
due to copyright claims they refuse to let the video have audio now you know why all the other road trip videos have such crap unlicensed music in them... I have disputed the claim twice no luck.... sorry
Fantastic video. I thought the editing was fantastic. Who did the editing and what software and cameras did you guys use ? Really inspired me to think about doing the same type of trip.
I did the editing with I movie on a mac, the camera was a money HD handycam an older one... I movie is pretty intuitive and working on the film was a great way to relive the trip, if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
BigBrother11111 looked like you put a lot of time into editing and all , visually looks great , redo this with different music or give props to whatever music you’re using so we can hear this ....
Oh CRAP!!! Was stoked on the title, loaded up the video, then saw it was gonna be on the UGLIEST BIKES ever produced, despite the mechanical abilities of the engines, and just can't focus here...and my riding pard DOES ride a Vic...just not the Space Shuttle.

Thanks for the kind words! Tx is big but you have to hit the Colorado and Utah one day its amazing on a bike!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Massachusetts riders are some of the most hardcore out there! I hope i get the chance to do something like this in the future but until them, I'll prob watch this over and over.
Looks like an awesome adventure....something every rider should do at least once.
Shared on the Victory Forums.

Great video,my girl friend and I are riding from London Ontario Canada to Key West in May.I can't wait.

Show her some of these vids.
Nicely done - wish I had a record of my trips like this.
Most excellent video and thanks for sharing. I done some traveling riding a 2006 Triumph Tiger.

enjoyed the video! looked like a blast... going to do my first road trip this year, nothing like yours tho. thanks for sharing
NICE! It's so awesome seeing other people's journeys on their motorcycles. I'm looking forward to many more and hope you all are the same! :D

This is living life. I'm so freaking jealous.
Nice, I live in Grand Junction. Hope you got to see a little bit of it.
we stayed at an air B&B in Grand junction, and went in to town it was great, beautiful part of the country...
We got a few nice rides close, if you ever head back this way it'd be a pleasure to show you guys. Great video.
Four beautiful people on two beautiful bike on a beautiful adventure across beautiful America. Thanks for sharing. But what happened to the sound? Stay safe.
I have 4 trips, I would like to do in the next few years. 3 of them with the missus, one of then being cross-country and another Canada. We're getting her a starter this year and then she'll get upgrade to mine.

This video makes me proud to be from AZ
Awesome video! So much for old-man Bill, you've been holding out on us. Where'd you get these editing skills?
Great video !
Great video. Loved the day by day graphics. You started in Boston and ended the trip in Arizona. Did you ship the bikes back to Boston? We are in the process of planning our epic adventure from FL to the Northern CA round trip. Would love to see a tips video.
We learned a ton of lessons and would love to share them!
I hope you took Skyline Drive in Virginia, its heavenly.
Sure did!
Great video! I love the soundtrack. I'm taking a road trip out to Vegas from Denver at the end of next month. How cold was it from Denver to Glenwood Springs? I'm going a month earlier than when you passed through, so I know it will be colder, but if it's too cold, or snowy on I-70, I'm going to head south through New Mexico.
we hit flurries going over the rockies and temps dipped down to low 30s but it wasn't unbearable, heated grips and seats helped too, I am sure you know but loveland pass was awesome and would highly recommend it if you do take 70.

we actually rented them from eagle rider to keep miles off our bikes, they took care of the bikes once we got to flagstaff
I loved it. When is the next one?
we are doing Nova scotia this summer...
Great video! I used to watch this video alot.. For some reason It went silent. Tried from friends phones.. still no sound.. Any chance you can upload again?
due to copyright claims they refuse to let the video have audio now you know why all the other road trip videos have such crap unlicensed music in them... I have disputed the claim twice no luck.... sorry
That's to bad.. You Had great music on there, and it went well with the video. Still got the video..? Maybe some how I can can get a hard copy..
I hope to see you there
Fantastic video. I thought the editing was fantastic. Who did the editing and what software and cameras did you guys use ? Really inspired me to think about doing the same type of trip.
I did the editing with I movie on a mac, the camera was a money HD handycam an older one... I movie is pretty intuitive and working on the film was a great way to relive the trip, if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.
It looks like a good video to watch but I think it would be awesome if it has sound LOL
Great Job!
No audio? guessing you got hit with copyright infringement?
I'm planning a similar trip for Toronto! About how much did it cost for you to complete it?
well there are a lot of factor we rented bikes 14 days which was around 2800, hotels and gas was in the 2000 range food and gear...
How were the stock Victory seats on the old glutimas maximus?
i've had better... the only saving grace was the back rest, i dont think i would do the trip agin without a seat pad or a new seat.
Thanks. There is always the Air Hawk, I suppose. (for a rental bike)
Good stuff!
No sound??
very nice..
Right on
Abby is buff af
AHHHH , can't hear nothing ....
basterds blocked audio for the music i had on it... sorry
BigBrother11111 looked like you put a lot of time into editing and all , visually looks great , redo this with different music or give props to whatever music you’re using so we can hear this ....
Oh CRAP!!! Was stoked on the title, loaded up the video, then saw it was gonna be on the UGLIEST BIKES ever produced, despite the mechanical abilities of the engines, and just can't focus here...and my riding pard DOES ride a Vic...just not the Space Shuttle.
Ahhh...I'vegotta watch it anyway, for the 'babe' factor, and great music anyway!
glad you liked the vid!
