    Summer '86 when I was a sophomore at Barstow High School. I worked at Baker Burger for Mr. Carter. He owned that Burger King and the one in Barstow at the time. When school started I transferred to Barstow with my good friend Jesse. Good times and Great Memories.

    Well done Rick! Your video of your epic trip is an inspiration for this Kiwi (New Zealander) to come visit your great country and do some serious riding.

    Wow! What an amazing journey. Beautiful scenery, a few bad days in the snow was ok, but never fails to rain on the way back. Alot reminded me of the spaghetti westerns and scenery as well. Glad you made it safe and without roadside breakdowns. Thank you for sharing you journey with us.

    Thanks for putting this together, good job! It was a fun watch for me as I had ridden many of the roads to many of the places you chronicled in this video last year as well. Utah in particular was a spectacular place for riding, nice to ride it again vicariously through your video. :)

    Thank you for taking the time to share your motorcycle adventure. I watched the whole movie and enjoyed every mile. I live in Iowa and consider myself a long-distance rider having owned a number of bikes including the C10 and now a 2013 C14. Again, great movie.

    Great to watch on a cold and rainy day in November.

  • @oldguyracer4517
    @oldguyracer4517 3 года назад +1

    WOW.....This takes me back. 30 years ago I lived in the USA and Canada. I travelled all over the West coast of US and into middle America. The scenery was spectacular and the people I met along the way were the most hospitable I have encountered anywhere. I was based in Vancouver, Canada which I explored from West to East ( Toronto etc). I’m glad you had a safe trip Rick. 🏍

    Rick your trip did the trick. I loved it!! This video of your trip proves what I have been saying for sometime now. America is a big country with so much to see. We should visit other countries, but America our home has a lot to offer also. Rick you have me pumped up brother. It's time for me to get my knees in the breeze. Traveling America by motorcycle is the best and I'm going for it Sir. Now what's up for 2015? Keep doing what your doing and be safe.

  • @ianaristotlethompson4186

    I know this is the second time I have watched this through, I did a lot of your west coast roads in '08 but wasn't videoing as much as I do now. Love all your south-west footage. Making me want to plan another trip down that way.

  • @greenluck10
    @greenluck10 Год назад

    Dude, I think your trip inspired me and my Dad. Me and him drove all the way from Long Island, NY all the way to Riverside, WY. We stopped at various KOAs along the way including in Nebraska in the corn fields and majority of the nice one in Colorado. We did all of this on the back of the bike as well for 3 weeks riding, exploring and enjoying the view, and y'know what? It's the best trip I ever had in my entire life and like my Dad said, a trip on a bike is FAR different than a trip in a car or truck.

    • @ricksandyfox
      @ricksandyfox  Год назад +2

      That's Awesome!! Great respect for the two of you. So many people talk about a grand trip like that, but few actually follow through with it. Those memories will stick with you the rest of your life and the stories will be passed down to the next generation.

  • @jkro30a
    @jkro30a 3 года назад

    I watched the first 10 minutes then I couldn't stop. Sure would have loved hearing that iconic engine, though! Got a C10 in my garage too. Too bad you skipped the GC North Rim; you were so close. The ride into the one lodge there is fantastic. This is the best travel vlog I've seen. Very well done. Thanks for posting.

  • @TheDe1deonly

    @dhblan8591 3 года назад

    Just Watched in 2021 and enjoyed every minute. This was an epic journey and I envy your adventure, but I could not have done it on a bike ;-). Wife and I drove your route from Vegas around Zion, Bryce and over to Monument Valley and it was amazingly beautiful. But we cheated and flew in and back from Vegas. Stayed a night in Bluff, Ut and ate at that diner under those two standing rock formations. Thanks for the memories.

    Back in '92 I did a CC in 39 hours drive time. Left Los Angeles at 4:00 PM Thursday, got home to NJ 9:00 AM Saturday (Christmas day). That's why the rush. Taking into consideration time zone changes that's 39 hours. I never new there was an actual award for that til this vid. Many thanks for an enjoyable ride along with you.
    PS, I didn't actually get the boots wet but I figure I was close enough ! You went all out, very cool.

    I used to own a 2003 Concours but I sold it because of that incredible vibration in the handlebars so total respect for being able to ride that far with your motorcycle. aside from the Connie buzz it was an awesome bike.

    • @GPz84

    • @williamwhite9767

    Joe here again.. that trip across Texas at night must have really challenged you. I have crossed the same path a dozen times and hated it every time. First trip I-10 was not completed past San Antonia to Ft Stockton. Made it a bit more interesting. Did trip last Sept and in a car. It was grueling. Nothing changes. At night did you have close encounters with wild life. Still enjoy watching all your trips. Watch this one couple times.

    @Bill97070 6 лет назад

    Thanks a very well done video of your ride coast to coast. Congrat's on that endurance challenge. Your bike must have held up very well and been comfortable riding. That was interesting scenery on your ride from Death Valley up to Baker. That's where I left off, for now. I will revisit to see more of your ride. I have to say, I love my solo rides. I'm free to go and stop along the way, as I like, no pressure from others.
