Enjoyed your video ! I'm a cycle traveler myself. I own a 2013 Yamaha fjr1300a. My last trip was nearly 8000 miles. From Atlanta to Peoria, Il. Peoria to Rapid City, then to Bozeman, Kalispell, Montana, to Seattle, where I visited my son. Then down the west coast stopping in Eugene to see my nephew. Down to L.A., then Phoenix, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Little Rock, then back to Atlanta. A number of stops along the way, I took 20 days, and mixed it up with camping and hotels. I had to, of course see my movie hero Clint Eastwood's Carmel By The Sea, and see San Fran. riding over the Golden Gate Bridge too. Motorcycle travel is good for the soul..... Without a doubt.
I really hope you continue to do these hour+ long motorcycle journey documentaries cause In the winter months where I live I survive on these videos lol living in a “seasonal riding” state sucks!! Love the video and thank you for your service my brother!!
The best video I have seen yet. That's what I call a motorcycle trip. That's the kind of traveling I would love to experience and I will. Again thanks for sharing and please stay safe.
Thank you for your service, I am in Central Komifornia too, the Clovis/ Fresno area. I own an FJR1300 that loves to ride the Sierras and to the coast and back. Purchased it in UT and rode it home that day, cruise control changed my life! Great video, I am part way through it, and this is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
Hi. Nice and good video of your trip. I enjoyed it as I was on a 6 week tour of the western United States at the same time. We could have met in two days, we were in Arkansan around the same time and later in Red Bluff again. Your video reminded me again of my time on my trip. Good times to you and many accident-free miles on your Harley.
So awesome to see this. I'm planning a similar trip this spring on my '22 Street Glide. We're going in reverse. We start in PA, heading south an looping around the perimeter clockwise. Thanks for posting this. Ride Safe Brother.
Really enjoyed your documentary. I've ridden across country six times and have never documented any of my rides, so you have inspired me. My last ride was US 20 from Newport OR to Boston, staying on US the entire way--that's one way to realize how big this country is....LOL I also liked the music and the voice over style narration. Thanks for posting.
Awesome. I'll be doing more touring for sure. I'm all about the 3 to 4 week trips on the bike. Really thinking about a California to Alaska tour! Also have to catch the middle, and southern states.
One fine ride you did I take my hat off to ya. Nothing wild or x rated. Very enjoyable watching this, it’s on my bucket list but can only hope and pray I can. Hang on stay safe.
Hey man this was a great video! I've tried a few ti E to make such videos and I can fully appreciate the hard work and long hours of just capturing video and the editing such a long ride! I hope you make more you've got a knack for it!
Definitely one of the best Motorcycle Tours around the country I've seen my friend. Only way it could've been better, is if you had a friend or two riding with you, for companionship and safety, either way awesome trip, thank you for sharing it with us.👍p.s. your back tire looked pretty worn, may have just been the camera angle, I'm sure you're the kind of rider that stays on top of that kind of stuff.
Awesome video and travels man! I'm looking forward to graduating up from my Fatboy and getting a touring bike for some long trips. One thing I do (mostly because of my paranoia) is I keep 2 fresh fob batteries in my saddle bags just in case either myself or someone else needs one.
Very enjoyable doc, thanks for sharing. I did ocean to ocean from Vancouver, WA to Atlantic City and back summer of '18. Went through the Midwest in order to see North Platte, NE because my mom was born there. Did Pro Football HOF, Baseball HOF, Niagara Falls, Rock n Roll HOF, Gettysburg, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, etc. I highly recommend the Rock n Roll HOF if you get back to Cleveland and Gettysburg is unbelievably intense. Also, if you didn't go see Crazy Horse and ride the Needles Hwy in South Dakota, well worth a trip back there too. I never made it to the far Northeast or the south so it was great to see what I missed. Hopefully soon..........
Thank you for posting this. It is a dream if mine to ride again and one day take trip like this. Until then, living through you. Oh, too bad you couldn’t have hit the Mt. Washington auto road in New Hampshire, looked like the weather you had was suited for it.
Great video, really enjoyed it! I’m in Fresno and god willing I will retire sometime between March-June 2024. I have rode to Sturgis on a 2009 street Glide and a 2020 Rode Glide Special. I now have a 2022 Ultra Limited to complete my longer rides and I’m hoping the added comfort will entice my wife to take some longer trips with me. I have ridden many times to Sturgis for the Rally and felt the same way the first time I saw Mount Rushmore, thought it would be bigger, lol. I have rode I-10 all the way to Florida for Daytona Bike week in 2017 and returned cutting north from the Florida pan handle through Alabama, Mississippi, to Tennessee and caught the old Route 66 to head home to Fresno. I ride to Texas and Oklahoma for Rally’s and RUclipsr Adam Sandoval’s events at the KRiver Campground in Moyers, OK. I plan to ride as close to possible the entire border line of the United States as a solo retirement present to myself. Thank you for the inspiration, I enjoyed following your journey and I was on the bubble whether I should ride solo or with a buddy, but after watching your video I think solo is the better option. Maybe I will see you out there, be safe!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I do enjoy solo. I'm planning on hitting the southern states and go down to Key West. Looking to check off the lower 48 and Alaska. Keep the rubber to the road.
Sounds like a great trip. You confused me going into New York City across the George Washington Bridge and then you were in the Holland Tunnel, you must have back tract some what or you need a new GPS. Keep her verticle and ride safely.
Love it, probably similar age and have ultra limited. Broke back in June and had surgery. Both bikes keep asking when we will ride. I was relegated to selling t h e Harley. But think I will wait as it's just a comfy ride. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching this. Next time do all Backroads. You should have stopped at the I-80 truck stop, great pork chops. Missed Back of the Dragon in VA and The Dragon in TN. Also Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. When we leave Pittsburgh highways and Tolls are turned off. Great stuff.
Did basically same run 20 years ago with a softail standard, no windshield, half helmet in less than two weeks - had to get back to work. About killed my hearing but it recovered. NY to Cali 66-I40. Cali to Oregon on 5 and back across to NY on 80. Lessons learned have windshield and full face helmet.
@Blue Man - I remember those days. Bugs in my teeth and all! Once I left a camping site in the early AM before the dawn, during the Fall season in Northern Cali, made 70 mile run home. No helmet days. Took the whole day to get my core temperature back up, once I got home, lol.
Thanks for sharing your ride with us. Too bad you didn’t have time to tour around Virginia, North Carolina, Northern Georgia and Tennessee, great riding around the Smoky mountains; maybe next trip east.
wow thats cool buddy already subscribed ... iam planning for my next solo trip in 2 weeks starts from la /palm springs/las vegas/Yosemite/mt hood and portland /seattle/astoria/san fransisco then back home to los angeles on my 1250gs
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations, it's impressive, my wife and I have traveled from San Francisco to the Harley Davidson museum in Wisconsin, Route 66, and bike week in Florida. and I would like to take a trip like yours and I would like to know approximately how much you spent on your trip again, congratulations AND HAVE A NICE RIDE 🙏🏼🛵💯
This was fantastic! Although, the most amazing thing about this video is that I am about to do the same thing!!! Not exactly but very very similar. Leaving San Francisco to Nova Scotia via Rt66. And also catching F1 in Montreal. I plan to document the trip without going to overboard on production. Oh yeah..... I'm 60 and I'm doing it on a Ducati. Haha. Wish me luck!
Very Cool! You'll have a blast. I wanted to cross over to Canada at Buffalo, but . . . forgot my passport. Keep the rubber to the road and the knees in the breeze! Let me know when your tour video is posted.
Great video. How were you able to organize the massive Gigabytes of video? Did you record nonstop and edit or did you selectively record? I ask because I am riding to Nashville from SoCal this summer.
Hey, thanks. I would turn on my helmet or dash gopros randomly and each night download the days recordings to an external hard drive using a MS Surface Pro tablet. I would rename the video clips so I knew for later editing what they represented. I would just use my cell phone for the stops along the way. When I wanted to piece the video clips together, the file names kept it organized. Have a blast - Nashville was awesome!
I'm in Empire Calif.."east modesto" I got a nice shot of Shasta in my SaddleSore1000 video I was using it as a guide to my rest stop It seemed like it took forever to get there you can see it from a long way away...
@BigdaddyHD, I did some quick calculations on fuel prices, gpm, and distance, then estimated $120 a night for motels, and $40 a day for food, etc. I came in under the estimate because I often found good motel prices. Trip was under $5k and one awesome vacation. Laid out a basic route shown in the map and went with the flow.
Really loved your video , do you have a list of all the plases you stoped to sleep . I hope to do a 6 week road trip this sommer and go coast to coast to coast . And this really inspire me to go all the way , just got a dyna but it will do it
Don't have a list. I used Hotels.com App and looked for a place once I knew where I'd hold up for the night. Always worked out well. You'll totally enjoy the ride! I suggest the MyRadar weather App as well. Free and great to see the weather patterns ahead.
I enjoyed your video. I just wish the cell phone video wasn't vertical. You could have shown more with it in landscape mode. Looks like you had a great trip.
Great Video!! Very inspiring. When things slow down for me, this is what I'm going to do. How long did it take you to plan this, and what Go Pros did you use? Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Thanks Ken. I used two Hero 5 Session cameras and would import the files each night to an external hard drive via a MS Surface Pro. That way I could track which video clips belonged to which area of the country. My planning was a couple weeks of watching a bunch of motorcycle touring videos on RUclips and planning a basic route thru the lower states, up to Maine, and back across the top. Once on the road, each night I'd just think about what's up ahead and how far I'd like to go the next day. I found 400-500 miles a day to be good for me. Enjoy your tour - it will be awesome!
@@spdesq thank you for the info. I was looking on you tube about touring, that’s how I came across your video. Great stuff. I think I’m going to try a tour next year. Thanks again
I hear ya. I'd like to spend more time in the Virginia back roads for sure. I do quite a bit of riding around the California Sierra Mountains and pacific coast. Hope to make a couple videos of those areas too. I have uploaded a good one for Lake Tahoe CA, if you get a chance to check it out.
Loved the video, but if I may critique your video style a little. Turn your phone to landscape. It gives a full screen picture as opposed to a small sliver with wide blurry edges, also you can change the picture so everything doesn’t show reversed on the screen. It looks far more professional than videoing in the portrait or with a reversed picture. Just a thought… great video otherwise, keep up the great ride videos 👍🏻
Excellent video. Looks amazing. So jealous. USA has some amazing scenery. 1 question though. Do you think a Harley like you had is too much for a new rider of 50 years of age. I would value your opinion. Many thanks Jonathan 🇬🇧
So glad you enjoyed the video. It really is great touring over here. I don't think a Harley Ultra Classic would be too much bike for a new rider because it handles so well and just cruises. It is a heavy bike which I believe is also a good thing for highway riding (doesn't get pushed around). A Harley Davidson riding course with an instructor would have you cruising one of these bikes in no time. Really depends on your comfort level. Light bike are easy to muscle around, but don't do well out on the open highways.
@@spdesq I would like to start doing iron butts and cross country rides. My biggest fear is Deer and wildlife wandering out in front of me. How do all of you deal with this? Especially at dawn and dusk.
Enjoyed the video. It's sad what the current administration has turned our capital into....it's cool to see places like New Jersey on video, but I enjoy more "rural" places and would probably never go there.
Wow!! Take a bow!! Great video quality and excellent commentary inputs too.. Is there any way to contact you, an email or through Instagram? Please let me know, have a few questions on some of the specifics of your ride. Would be great if you can get back. Cheers.

New Subscriber! Vegas in 2020--June 113 degrees. That was hot!!! Great video!
Can’t beat the military pass. I went to several Natl Parks last fall and my pass saved me a few buckaroos too!

As an update, The day has approached to do what i said. I leave in 13 days!
I can not wait to retirer this year on November and star planing a long trip but I will star with Baja California I am in LOS ANGELES
Very cool! You'll have a great time.
If you’re a veteran, make sure you get your America beautiful card with your VA card. You can get in all the national parks for free.

Good video, why is it when your not on the bike tour view is not wide angle? kinda annoying, when riding can see the whole view you see
Well, I didn't think of it at the time and just used my phone in a way that was most easy. Lesson learned.
Why the vertical cell phone video?
I'm not a Professional. Made those clips for Instagram post along the way. Later decided to put it all into a documentary.
Great adventure. How long did this trip take? I would love to do the same one day
I took 26 days but that included a 3 stay in TX and a couple 2 day stays along the way due to weather. Good crusing!

@@spdesq I would like to start doing iron butts and cross country rides. My biggest fear is Deer and wildlife wandering out in front of me. How do all of you deal with this? Especially at dawn and dusk.
@iceberg9248 personally, I just keep alert and am ready to respond. No guarantees.
Why is all of the lettering on signs backwards?
I used the self facing camera lens because it was easier to see the frame.
Despite the great prices in that cafe inside the Harley Dealership, it doesn’t look like they’re doing much business.
Dude, turnoff 'mirror effect' on front camera please
Where in Central valley?
Just south of Sacramento
Great trip! Your selfie parts need work, lol. Portrait AND mirrored?! C"mon man!!
I hear ya : )
Enjoyed the video. It's sad what the current administration has turned our capital into....it's cool to see places like New Jersey on video, but I enjoy more "rural" places and would probably never go there.
Yeah, the Capitol was pretty locked down. Awesome ride around the country!
Wow!! Take a bow!! Great video quality and excellent commentary inputs too.. Is there any way to contact you, an email or through Instagram? Please let me know, have a few questions on some of the specifics of your ride. Would be great if you can get back.
Cheers.
