Another amazing video. I love the UP. It's like a different world. Your ability to find stealth camping sites is uncanny. I'll spend a whole day looking to find squat. Loved the video coming across SD. Have never traveled that way. Will have to try it now that you've shown it. Welcome back to Strugis. See you soon.
I'm so happy to watch your journey. this year , i'm obviously on the other side of the pond. Missing you guys , my other family.Enjoy the hard days of work in Sturgis, Ill be in september back "home" meaning WarPony sleight...and on the roads again in our good'ole USA. As usual I enjoyed your narrative and videos, i like the way you deliver ! Cheers mon frere
Thanks Joe! I was planning to take a similar route to SD this year, starting from Atlanta and heading to the UP. I was intending to bypass Marquette entirely but I believe that would have been a mistake. Due to a broken wing I won’t be making the trip this season, thanks for a nice preview of next year’s route!
This will be my first year at sturgis me and the crew will be out there with the greek food ..we would love to see you guys at the festival ! Come and see Angelo for a gyros 👍
Aint it funny how the weather changes so much around the mississippi river. Also cool letter at the end. Wild he knew extactly where to put it so you would find it.
Hey! I'm glad you found my note! 'Home Sweet Cliff' is a great spot. Your content is very inspiring for me and I was able to make a 10 day trip from MN to WY and back. I tried to take what I learned from you to find dispersed camping spots every night. Finding a new spot to ninja camp every night can be challenging, but riding the country side is such a rewarding experience. After my trip I have even more appreciation for the effort you put into these videos. Thanks again for sharing. 🙏. I hope you have a good time at the Rally.
Joe, as usual, great video. If I were only 40 years younger, I would go back to the vagabond way of traveling. I’ve done quite a bit of it in the past 40 or so years and enjoyed every minute of it. I envy you and your way of life. Be safe out there and keep the rubber side down.
Wow, what a long trip that is from Canada all the way to Sturgis ... LOL!I'm glad you give yourself enough time to take it leisurely and not have to rush there and put a ton of miles down - that sure does take a lot of the fun out of it (depending on circumstances). The smoked fish looked appetizing and that beef pasty definitely looked delicious! I love seeing all the local foods and cultures that you explore and share! Sorry about all the rain still - hopefully this will be the last of the rain for you going forward to Sturgis (at least one could hope ... LOL)! Also, that was definitely a good call with moving camp away from those dead trees even though I'm sure that was the last thing you wanted to do. The scarecrow was pretty funny I have to say as well! Lastly that vintage Kawasaki 900 was in really clean condition - amazing and really cool bike! Thanks as always for sharing and stay safe out there brother! I really wish I could've made it to Sturgis this year to see you! PS - That was a really cool note to find at the end and shocked it lasted out in the wilderness for a month before you found it! Very cool and inspiring! You're the man Joe! 👍👍👍
Good that you enjoyed that ride. That’s how I go to WI and SD. Bypasses the entire Chicago clot. Much more relaxed and small town especially Ontario way.
❤ this one ..was (is) a great one ...the note was amazing..he found your spot😂..you ever run across any snakes in your travels...food looks great as ever..thank you for your hard work and your storyline..BTW..the doctor released me the other day so I'm going to try to ride again ..my knee is still a little sore keeping me up at night ..no word on new HD..Sept maybe...peace
That's the wrong way to treat a dead birch Bro! The top can drift off and kill you silently just from one push on it! I am 83 , ride, and worked in the BC n Alberta bush off n on since the 50's. Just leaning against a dead birch can get you Bro. Safe ride Y all!
Hey Joe, Greetings from Lyme, Ct! Hope you enjoyed our disease. Had it a few times, it definitely sucks. Love your work man maybe we'll see you on the road someday
I won’t make it this year but have fun and stay cool. I see you are in your usual camp spot! Haha….and the note…is that crazy or what? Who is this D Jones and where is his channel…haha
I’m new to your channel…so what bike are you riding? I know it’s a Honda…what model? Looks like you had a good adventure. You saw more than most who stay in hotels. Ride safe!!!
I'm just getting over lyme disease to man. Got about a week of meds to go. Did u get sick at all Joe?. I was sick as f with a bullseye rash and all....tough few weeks
Joe, just discovered your channel . . . glaad I did because that other dude (Scooting somebody) has become tiresome . . . . no psuedo-intellectual diatribes - thank you!

FOR 14 years Had a dogsled touring business for 8 years I went that same route with a 10 dog team 6 days camping and cooking 547 miles by dog team I do all kinds of adventures I document on my youtube cannel thewaynediaries ..Would love to meet you and discuss travels be safe GOD BLESS

Good talking with you at Micky D's in Sturgis. That was quite the conversation... One I won't soon forget. That fella should probably be in politics.

Joe, Looking for Scotty’s site today and can’t find it on RUclips. What has happened?
Thanks for sharing. We will be in Sturgis Friday morning but we are always looking for new routes to enjoy.
Have fun!
BEST TRAVELING BIKER ADVENTURES.
Thank you!! ✌️
I was on the UP the last 4 days.
Awesome
I think it would be fun to work for a vendor at one of the motorcycle rallies.
I don’t know if fun is the word I’d use lmao 🤣 but it’s nice getting to work on bikes and meeting the people at rally

Would love to ride with you but you sure follow the rain lol.
No kidding lol
Say Hi to Scotty!
Good that you enjoyed that ride. That’s how I go to WI and SD. Bypasses the entire Chicago clot. Much more relaxed and small town especially Ontario way.
Absolutely!
Nice video, but you truly are a magnet for rain 😂
No kidding!
What tent do you have. It seems to be very waterproof?
Great video! I’m flying out there (not Riding unfortunately) on Tuesday to work at the JP Cycle Store for two weeks. Hope to run into you!
I’ll be out back

Man you should do shorts during sturgis
Dunno how you were able to sleep in that first MN spot. Yikes
That Kawasaki is a, double old hog catcher. 😉
I won’t make it this year but have fun and stay cool. I see you are in your usual camp spot! Haha….and the note…is that crazy or what? Who is this D Jones and where is his channel…haha
I know man! Lol 😂
Next time in the Great White North do either end. B.c. Alberta or the other end in the Maritimes
I’m new to your channel…so what bike are you riding? I know it’s a Honda…what model? Looks like you had a good adventure. You saw more than most who stay in hotels. Ride safe!!!
That’s a Honda NC750X, loving it!
PS: As a new RUclipsr, I’m always looking at better ways to edit our videos. What program do you use?
I like using iMovie. Super simple
It’s hard watching the last part I’m really have sturgis withdrawals who idea was it to skip a year geez
Lol
Has the clutch been working okay since your hill climb?
Seems to be holding up 🤞
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond you need to see the latest post from Itchy Boots. She completely destroyed her clutch basket.
had to research WTF U P meant lol...upper peninsula
You got it! ✌️
How many miles did you have when you had to change out your clutch
21k
Wow thats not alot of miles for a clutch what do you suppose went wrong or is that normal
Still enjoying content, loved the SE Asia footage. Maybe bump into you in a few days.
Thanks man
I'm just getting over lyme disease to man. Got about a week of meds to go. Did u get sick at all Joe?. I was sick as f with a bullseye rash and all....tough few weeks
I was lucky, I didn’t get it too bad.
Joe, What brand motorcycle cover are you using?
Nelson Rigg. It’s held up pretty good, but it’s falling apart man
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond okay Thanks Joe
The mosquitoes in Northern Wisconsin and UP are terrible this year. Didn't you run into any? 😮
Forget about it!! They were everywhere
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond
You sure had me fooled. Next time please include them in the video.
😁 😀
Hey Joe, why did you tube take down scotty man, wtf???
I don’t know. He’s got a mirror channel on Odyssey
@dirtymotorcyclevagabond ok, ya I seen that. Just thought you may know a reason. Thanks for responding back man, take it easy.
I wrote the note. 👍
No, no i didnt. I lied, sorry Joe. 😔
Lmao 🤣
How is the Thermocell working? Where did you get Lyme disease?
I think in Maine
It works pretty well
Joe, just discovered your channel . . . glaad I did because that other dude (Scooting somebody) has become tiresome . . . . no psuedo-intellectual diatribes - thank you!
Welcome aboard! ✌️
Say my bro !!! Did Scotty get knocked off of yoytube ???
I’m just hearing about it
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond
If you find out anything please let me know !!! @@dirtymotorcyclevagabond

I’m not much of a traveler, what are signs of meth use in a community?
Bizarre words written on cardboard. Random computer/stereo parts lying around…
