Everyone out here talking about how beautiful and cool Rachel is (rightly so), but I haven't seen one comment that says how cool it is that Ed built her a TRIKE out of a c90 in a bloody scrap yard in the desert. Lol
And dug it out of the dirt, snow and mud every single time she got it stuck. What a legend
It is easier to build a tricycle in the desert then it is to find a women who will ride an adventure like that.
I'm by no means putting him down, I'm just saying that almost every guy I know would do all of that to keep his love going whereas I don't know a single women who would even do that trip in the best of circumstances much less when everything seems to be going against them.
@@CoreyBrass yeah which is basically my point; no one here was commenting on how great it is that Ed (or most guys as you say) did that for Rachel. It was all just about how beautiful she is
@mad ass that's very cool. Maybe the world is full of them but I rarely come across them. Finding a women who will ride with you isn't that hard but I've not had good luck finding one that wants to ride their own bike. The few I do know of are fair weather riders at best.
Rachael is an adventurous goddess and Ed is an eccentric MacGyver. Both have their attraction in different ways.
Binging this series has been better than anything I've ever seen on Netflix. Hilarious, inspiring, and heartfelt.
for real
Cause you nkow it is real, no CGI no acting, real humans on a real adventure with real struggles, real human
@@LadislavDobri real emotions
Definitely killed like 3 days watching them all.
The fact he built a scrap trike for his girlfriend so she could travel off road trails with him while nursing a back injury is a commitment as strong as a marriage. Kudos Ed. You two are amazing.
And yet then he still wanted to ride by himself...
@@TheRoadfarmer they both wanted to ride alone, not just Ed
Thanks for the great videos. I have watched a few of them now, I'm 65 years old and been riding for 48 years. The longest trip i made was was one year and five months. It started from Hamilton Ontario on a 1978 Honda 350. I left home with $300 a lot of money back then and traveled all over the USA. When I ran out of money I would work on farms or pump gas for a week then continue on. I would go fishing or pick clams and have beens on toast most of the time. Watcthing your videos reminds me of my trip and the life long memory that have I from taking it. I'm still riding but keep my trips to a few days now.
Best regards.
I should have done that and gone to Canada in '68 before I got drafted and sent to 'Nam. I would have stayed in Canada to this day. 'Nam was a tragic bad joke.
Huge respect for that! I feel like this is something I don't have the will to do but at the same time know that I'm missing on a huge part of life. Those memories are for life
I'm 70 & still enjoy a ride.Preparation is the key to staying upright.
I love you 😍 limes
69 here!
Ed has the most polite way of saying Rachel is driving him insane. 😂
Pre breakup rationalizing😘
That is, actually, the very definition of someone special.
Thats a brit for ya.
He must be gay
@@laska907 gay.
Y'all are an inspiration to all of us sitting at a desk job wondering if we could take the leap.
@@raed6343 this Dakar Saudi ride looks amazing!! I would love to do that ride on a Kawasaki KLR. Also I cant wait to see Ed ride his ninety down the Amazon. it took me ten days on a boat back in the 90's
3 years have past did you leap out from behind the desk n do it ?
@@Colin32269 we need answers
@@Colin32269 of course not.
@Kendal Ford Did you ever make the leap and just go?
Rachel is so cool! 50% of the fun in this video is her gorgeous laughter and the way she deals with things in such a natural and relaxed way! :)
She’s one in a million
Don’t know anyone who deal with all the challenges that you two did. Alaska to transcanada (winter even) then USA trans American ON Honda C90 !! Amazing the little Honda’s did it. I’m a Honda fan and have never walked home. Hat off to Honda quality
Literally not lying
Gather 1 million women. Now pick out the ones that speak your language. Now pick out the ones that are near your age. Now pick out the attractive ones. Now pick out the ones with a good sense of humor. Now pick out the smart ones. Now pick out the fun ones. Now pick out the adventurous ones. Now pick out the ones who can ride a motorcycle. Now pick out the ones that would do a trip like this.
You are going to need a much bigger pool to draw from.
@@lovelessissimo 8th and 3 in
@@lovelessissimo ur mum
Its hard to tell perfect strangers about the emotional battles of these trips. Most blogs and vlogs are full off happy everything is peachy type deals and maybe for some it is. Reality is though that there are some damn shit times. Watching this just makes me miss being out there with my amazing wife and riding. Keep on keeping on Ed.
Watching the series from the start, cant believe this is 4 years old!!! Love this stuff
Ed I came across your videos when the new jeep one popped up on my feed and I’ve been on a binge since. It’s so cool to see my own country and even the world from your perspective. I’m absolutely inspired to see the world for myself. Keep up the great work and keep having fun! Also don’t stop sharing your moments with us we love it
That’s exactly how I got into his videos! I started with the mini Jeep and now bingeing through this whole series. Great stuff!
Same here…
18 Months together every day will undoubtedly have it's tough moments. I completely understand why you'd need to have some time apart. I've loved every video in this series so far I just can't believe I've only just discovered it! I Ride an R1 but watching this makes me want to get something little and have a go myself!
It's warming to hear that you're still together. She's an absolute diamond mate, hold onto her!. But I guess I am 3 years late so I'd better finish the rest of the series.
Hi Ed, don't know if you remember the two KTM riders on the tricky slope (17:00) on the White Rim trail in Canyon Lands Utah? We stopped and talked to you and Rachel for a few minutes on the top of the hill. That slope as well as the deep ruts with the powder dust at the end gave us hell too. Great video!! Keep it up!
Yeah I remember you guys. Long time no see, didn't expect to see you here.
Yes sir, small world it is. Found you guys on RUclips after we met you and have been following you since. Maybe we will meet again in Colorado or Utah if you come back this way. Ride safe!
You want a whipe only Rs 500/- look good? for show? take it take it.
Give this man a tv contract!
Or at least send him few euros!
Though I agree +figgles it would be fun to watch no doubt. Good luck everyone! :)
The thing is, Ed's videos are too honest and real - if he had a TV contract it would have to be full of dramatic music, and building up drama - AFTER THE BREAK - and then a recap of what was causing the drama, then more dramatic music etc. Ed does his own thing, and it's perfect as it is!
hahah way to ture man! were you @ discovery channel.
It really would be something if someone like Netflix or Discovery picked up this and put it on as a mini series.
You are a tool. Are you Ed?
I'm from the Alaska Highway and I can't believe that you two did that journey through the winter! Amazing job to both of you. This will be the Benchmark of your whole life!
I think we have all fallen in love with Rachel, she is definitely one-of-a-kind! She is Savage! If you ever let her go, you will measure every other woman in your life up against her and they will all fall short.
@@AussieBill128 You are a real deal POS.
@@soundsofnature7015 u can clearly see that guy never had a pretty woman in his life, his words are pure frustration lol
@@AussieBill128 ..think your regular girl is a f mule. what girl u ever met could do half of what Rachel did and not pack it in?? i will answer this for you, u prob never spend time with actual women do you u outback drongo!
Moderated.
@@c90adventures Honestly, it's really cool to see you coming back and reading the comments sometimes on like a 5 year old video now. It's amazing how well these videos (new and old) are made. I hope only the best for you! And your battles against neckbeards.
51 FUCKING MINUTES!!!! YES ED!! YES!!!!
Excellent as always Ed! Great music too! You tell a beautiful story and present it great.
I've watched a ton of your videos, but this one was the top shelf quality all You Tubers should strive for. The soundtrack and the opening credits were flawless. Great work sir.
+V Star 1300 Adventures Thank you very much.
Rachel is a unicorn.
Agreed. I didn’t know women like this existed.
I was thinking the same exact thing.
She’s amazing; in these videos.
or a real crash test dumbie
They both are :-)
Ed's transition of character from denial to acceptance is something I observed through out and can relate to.
A very emotional video for sure.
I swear to god every time I see one of these in my sub list, it's the highlight of my week.
The Mayor I could not believe it it either, went too fast
This channel and Itchy Boots are just so fucking brilliant.
Even though this is three years old and by this time completely irrelevant I had to comment. This was fun to watch the whole series and I still have more to watch. Racheal is a fascinating person and so is Ed. This series has now made me set goals to do my own Trans American ride solo in 2 years time when I can be fully prepared to do so. Rachel if your reading this, your so freaking kick ass! Ed man you are an awesome dude!
Rachel now works at a marina in England. I just had to google to find out what happened to her.
I guess the most beautiful scenery on earth can be clouded by the "fog". You two made this journey together and it was unbelievably epic! Don't let your relationship "fog" cloud your journey into tomorrow. I give credit where credit is due and Ed, you deserve a medal. Rachel? You're one of a kind. You two were extremely lucky to have had those 18 months together.
My wife and I discovered your channel after you rescued Noraly in Nevada. We are working our way through your epic adventure and enjoying it a lot! Thank you for all the work you put into these videos. Thank you as well for being real and sharing the good with the not so great parts.
Me too... It turns out he is a legend.... These guys always have smile... Makes it easy than it seems
Great video and hello from Australia!
Love how smiley and enthusiastic Rach is - even when she's laying down in the dirt haha. Rach you're gorgeous!! xxx
"it didnt work out and there were bad times, but for the memories i have, it was worth it". massive respect.
I found Ed's channel through the Itchy Boots series, and Ed was, I think, living in Moab, UT. There was no mention of Rachel, and it was many years after Ed and Rachel's adventures. I'm going to continue watching Ed's adventures and hope to find out if his relationship with Rachel is still burning. I hope so, but if not, they're two very cool people, and I wish them both the very best. I'm also going to see if Rachel started her own RUclips vlog of her own travels. It would be really cool to be able to follow all three of these wonderful people on their motorcycle journeys.
Rachel is an endless fountain of happiness
I predict the Hondukis Yamakazufan is going to be the next big thing. Better get those patents ready Ed.
You missed the 4000.
The series number is important :)
50 minutes Ed? You outdid yourself.
I have some things to add (after doing the #TransAmericaTrail myself last year)
• Americans are incredibly generous, kind and hospitable. I met some amazing people.
• Those mountains are super, super gnarly - the camera doesn't show a fraction of it.
• Ed is a mad genius for building that 'thing'
• I think Ed's timeline is a bit screwy in parts, but it was a long time ago!
Jason WD Yeah, effing 50 minutes. Just had some indian food, prepairing myself...
Two very lovely, honest, funny people who are So underwatched , best double act I've seen in years. Hats off to you both!
This is the absolute best RUclips channel I have ever watched and I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers
Ed I am simply gobsmacked by what you two achieved crossing the Rockies on those C90's. I know just how steep and difficult those passes are, unfortunately video does not do them justice. A week or so after I bumping into you and Rach in Oklahoma I was doing them on my KTM690 and found that hard enough. In fact I split my 6mm thick alloy bash plate in half coming down a steep track from Engineer Pass despite 10 inches of suspension travel so God knows how you two got over them.
You are so right about GPS Kevin, I got into quite a few nasty situations following his route including getting lost in the Moab desert when the route just disappeared and the same thing in a massive forest in Oregon where as a result I nearly ran out of petrol. On an earlier occasion the route sent me through the centre of a private power generation facility guarded by people with guns. Luckily they looked at my GPS and believed my story. I came across some Kiwi riders using GPS Kevin's route who had also experienced serious problems. I do not recommend anyone to follow GPS Kevin's route, get the real thing from Sam. All the best to you both in your travels! Charles.
Broke in the middle of nowhere ...rancher shows up and has EVERYTHING needed for rescue and repair.... even volunteered. The LORD wants this man to make this journey 😂😂😂
I'm so impressed by the playful attitude, determination, care for each other, and maturity that you both demonstrated. Ed, your loyalty in building the trike for Rachel and taking on the really tough bits with both the trike and 90 so that you both could finish the TAT was epic. Well done.
As much as I love my wife. I don't think I would have made it half that far without loosing my mind. Hats off to you both.
That had to be tough. Rachel is one in a billion
Sad to see that you and Rach had go separate. However, happy to hear that you're still together.
Small donation coming from my way again. Love from India. 😊
I thought I could trust the British but then I heard this version of Highway to Hell 😂
Ed and Rachel, two absolute legends. Bless you for every minute of these videos.
Ed, if you read this. I was one of those annoying commenters a while back saying stuff like you better never let her go and not heeding your very friendly (and English) warning to not do so, because you and her know each other far better than any of us do. I want to apologize for those comments. I think a lot of fellas out here are like myself and wish we could find an Adventurous (and gorgeous) woman to accompany us on our Adventures, and can't understand easily how someone can let one go. That would be none of our business. Thanks for the great videos
If you've got the character to make this comment now, then you don't need to apologise even slightly for any previous comments. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry for the delay in videos I am trying I promise.
@@c90adventures thanks Ed. Looking forward to more of your one of a kind and fantastic videos. You knock the editing out of the park--that's what takes so long. Worth the wait ;) merry Christmas
This started out rather sad, then took and amazing turn towards ridiculously uplifting. Also, I did not cry. It's just kind of humid here.
absolutely amazing episode!
just found your video today and currently binge watch it !
love all your videos and I found this ep is emotional, sweet, full of lessons, funny, goofy, crafty (that trike is amazing!!!)
this video is big hollywood movie quality man ! nobody can make this kind of script if you don't basically experience it.
sad too see you guys decided to go separate ways. but that makes this journey even more impactful at least for me. love someone is just not as easy as loving them. I didn't expect to learn so much from this. keep doing what you love bro!
I've watched many of 'aroound the world on a bike shit'. really did. but this right here? crappiest edit, cheapest of materials used is THE MOST IMPRESSIV of em all. I thought the guys on adventure bikes are so called inspiring.
Thank you so much, you two, for showcasing that all you need to have a good time travelling around is SMILES, FUN, CREATIVITY and LOVE.
Thank you sooo much for sharing this piece of your life with us! Cheers
I almost cried this at this video. Almost.
Don’t lie 😭
Awesome video man! Thank you for the quality editing as always and the full disclosure on relationship challenges, we can all relate to the complexity of long term relationship but can only imagine long term adventuring. Sweeeeeet job on the Hondukis Yamakazufan 4000!
This is the greatest thing I've come across on RUclips. The intro alone on this video was stunning. One day I want to join an adventure with Ed. Utterly amazing.
That was amazing Ed, left a smile my face :) I admire you and Rachel and appreciate that you make videos. More than deserved the donation. Cheers.
i must say i have been captivated by this whole series, and watched it all in one day. Beautiful story, scenery and comments..what a great product youve made!
Wish I'd found this channel sooner, this is amazing. Says alot about Ed as a person that he put in that much effort in to doing what he did selflessly to help Rach, love them both
This is an amazing film/video you've made here, Ed. It was my favorite by far. I am taken aback by how great your skills are to have created a working trike that could go that far, and even more impressed with your decision to finish what you started. Congratulations to you and Rachel on an amazing trek back and forth across North America! Pretty amazing.
Ed, you showed that magnificent Rachel how much you love and adored her by building that Trike!
Engineering skill, character, and total dedication to the task of journeying together.
Wow!!
Love what you both have done, together and separately. I hope you both know how inspirational you are to the rest of us dreamers! Thank you 🙏🏻
Ed I'm impressed the time you spend on making those movies and also the rough trails you take. Seriously I rode from Malaysia to The netherlands myself on a brand new 150cc dirtbike and I know how hard and tough it can be sometimes..but this is absolutely hands down amazing! Also to Rachel ever dropping down but still continuing and now solo! My full respect! I'm surely gonna make a donation I definitely would like to see you finishing the journey! Hopefully will meet you or you and Rach somewhere in the near future! Cheers from Spain - Wiljen
That was a brilliant film! Well done you two! 18 months side by side is a load of time - you two seem like a great match so cheers to that! As always, I look forward to more shenanigans!
Truly incredible series. I love every moment.
What a rollercoaster, beautiful Ed. you've done an amazing job of telling the story and I'm so glad that you left the parts in that don't show you in the best of light, it makes it even more clear that you really are a good person.
Damn man on camera you two were so good together i know were seeing like 3-4 months in a 30 min video so i cant comprehend the struggles you two had . but a big Kudos to the pair of you man takes balls to do what you two have done .
Ed, you're a total inspiration. I love this and have gotten many hours of joy from your adventures. Cheers from California!
I love these videos. Thank you so much for making them so well.
best video series ever!
You made me fall in love with riding all over again mate. Great effort trying to put the "darkness" into words, its real. And absolutely true about how amazing the people you meet on the road can be and their help invaluable. The American West looks absolutely brilliant. Catch you out there one day somewhere on the road.
That intro is awesome!
I know this is allready a couple of years old but still inspirational.
The way you talked about her happiness really moved me.
Thanks Ed and Rach!
I have so much fun watching you guys.
Cheers from another free spirit.
Ed! This is incredible. I've followed you for a long time, and your films just get better and better. I'll be firing a donation your way once I'm able to, and wishing you all the best for your future travels - honestly both of those machines belong in a museum when they're finally retired, exactly as they are!
This is totally awesome....... And I have to say Rachel is one in a million, and was so pleased to hear/see that you are still together, although travelling apart.... More adventures like this please, especially another with you both travelling together... :)
LMFAO, Rachel is an amazing person, always smiling and happy, even when crashing, or injured.😆 😎👍
What an incredible trip, and thank you for taking so much time and effort to create this brilliant film to document your travels.
This whole c90 series is a youtube and travel classic, and I hope it gets the recognition and reward it richly deserves.
Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with the world.
This video is worth every bit of time and effort you put into it. The adventure it depicts is in itself brilliant, just brilliant!
Rachel is a trooper!!
Ed "even happy couples don't spend this much time constantly together"
Covid: "..."
This is just amazing stuff on every level. What an incredibly cool couple and cool trike you fashioned there Ed. The way you describe the conflict of riding as a couple versus doing your own thing is so honest.
I love how honest you are with us and yourself. Your series is really amazing and what you did for Rachel was the most romantic thing ever. Thanks dude, seriously.
great video guys ! sad to see you're not going to travel together anymore, but I understand it can be tough.
this video is amazing , keep moving !!
After so long I got to watch again the series... I loved it once again!! It was sad, happy, funny and emotional. I envy you for what you have seen and felt... Thank you
I just found your channel and all I can say is that you guys are living the dream. Sticking together through thick and thin. Never let go of Rach, Ed. Subbed.
Rachel definitely should make her own youtube channel!
Need to get off the loo before starting this one or people are going to get suspicious....
I just found this channel and am extremely impressed. Both of you are great role models, and are teaching so many of us viewers how to live. Keep it up, and I'll think of you two on my next adventure.
Why did this make me “tear up” when you two reached the ocean! Seriously! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story!!!
"Hondukis Yamakazufan 4000" LOOOOL'ed!!!!!
Dude you are genius!!! Hhahhahahhaha! Good luck to both of you!!!
I recently drove from UK to Stelvio Pass in Italy on my own not a massive adventure but was for me on my own and people and friends where saying how could you do that on your own wasn't it boring etc am exactly like you Ed I like to drive through it see it and go at my own pace not really stopping.
You both are my heros. You both inspire me to live my dreams. Thanks Ed and Rachel!
You always have a place to stay and work on your bikes when you pass through New Jersey
Ive loved watching this series, you are both absolute legends and such an inspiration to anyone with a sense of adventure. Ed your spirit and field engineering skills are just great and Rachel is just the most incredible inspiring young lady. Ride Safe and far together or apart!
Amazing. This one hit all the feels- I've had the exact same experience every time mixing women and motorcycles. It's tragic, really! But I appreciate the candid content so much, it makes these videos so much more meaningful and beautiful. They're a journey in more ways than one. Keep up the awesome work, I can't wait to see the next one
"Even couples that have been married for twenty years don't spend this long together twenty four 7..." Well Covid has changed that!
Between both working from home, retirement, vacation trips and Covid, my wife have been together for about eight years, almost 24/7. We've been married thirty-four, you have to find a rhythm that work.
Not quite 18 months though is it?
yeh, divorce rate has gone thru the roof at same time!!
I love how honest you are.
Lovely - adventure, drama, humour all interwoven with a true love story.
I’ve been rewatching your trip and it’s as good as when I watched it when you published.
I have my fingers crossed you and Rach get back together one day 🤞🏼 Great video, as always!
i basically just made this youtube account to post immature comments and insult other people on the internet but not for this.
really really amazing videos. everytime i see a new one posted im really excited. thanks alot ed
The work you did joining all those bikes and ATVs for Rachel is a true testament to who you are. You're a star with a heart of gold. Thanks for sharing these awesome videos with us!! Cheers!!
Ed, thanks for the simply fantastic videos. A week or so ago I watched “Long Way Up”, and I really enjoyed it. Then I spotted your videos on RUclips after apparently searching for something about long trips on the American continent. Well, what an absolutely rip roaring adventure it has been watching you and up to now Rachel riding through the harshest conditions you can imagine. I know my big overweight ‘adventure’ bike would have been a liability on many of the sections you rode.
Thanks again for the videos that I'm trying not to burn through too quickly!
Those bikes been through a lot. I wonder how many repairs all together. Must be totally rebuilt 3 times over each.
@5:00. Having to check the mirror every 10 seconds is the main reason I always travel alone. I thought I was weird !
RJ Nair well, I just checking a mirror because it's how it supposed to be. Every 10 seconds, or even more often.
@@yannikoloff7659 I check my mirrors every 1.25 seconds, just for extra safety bud
It felt so good to watch this video. Thx very much for the incredible work you've done
Big love for this episode in particular. A lot of pivotal moments happen here. What an epic journey
By the way you make some excellent videos. Commentary is hilarious. Hopefully you will continue making videos and doing small adventures who knows maybe gigantic ones.what's next
I've got some ideas bouncing around my head for future trips. One of them makes the Hondukis look like a lego set in comparison haha. Can't say what it is because it's never been done before, so I'm keeping it a secret until I build the working prototype.
I don't know about Erick but 18 months is not a small adventure I just came back from 13 months travelling Asia backpacking and i can't imagine how much harder it must have been on a c90. Certainly changes you. highest respect Ed. Wish you all the best!
Instead of going your seperate ways you should have married her! She is one in a million!
For real
Yep - she's beautiful, adventurous, tenacious and every time she fell she got up with a smile and a laugh. Hey maybe she should have her own channel!
haydne remember we are only seeing a snapshot of what is going on.
defenestrationfan and she also took the time to take 14.5 thousand photographs lol
No no . We want here as well :)
This was an awesome video. Times can get tough I have the same problem sitting idle. Y'all stuck it through and saw it till the end 😊. Cuddous to both of you. Hope to see both of you on the trails someday..
You two have some balls. I have been watching your stuff for hours now and take my hat off to you both for having so much guts to keep going. Can't wait to watch more videos 👍😎
