It warms my heart to see adult siblings "adventuring" together. It truly does
LMAO! Gary doing the rainfly prance is LEGEND!
That sleeping bag is fantastic and seeing Gary in it made my day😂
I can’t wait to see you and Gary again in a few short weeks!!!
Gary and the sleeping bag I was laughing out loud .. then Gary was doing the Amanda Dance around the tent... Cleaning his helmet was innovative for sure OMG So enjoyed this episode. Thank heavens Amanda you were present to keep this man-child in check LOL...
😁

Many cattle drives in Colorado, even in the mountains. Love to see Gary sharing the adventue with you!
Always cool when your brother rides with you - you guys have such a great vibe with each other on the road.
Always fun to see you two on adventure together. Awesome sceneries, sucks about the camping spots though. But it worked out fine in the end luckily!
If Groot was a pine tree, that is what I saw when Gary came out wearing his sleeping bag. Rock on, Brother!
You're not the only one who stops at cemeteries when on the road. They're quiet and usually empty, with nice places to let the dog run around. Yes, I've seen a cattle drive on the road. I don't know if it had a license.
An answer to Gary's question: YES, I have experienced a cattle drive in Southeastern AZ where I worked on a 14 section ranch (for the greenhorns, that's 640 acres per section) a number of times. And the most challenging Roundup was over along the Eastern Arizona / New Mexico border with a bunch of Mavericks on a ranch that was absolutely huge in the mountains only traversed by mules Saddleback. Rugged as hell, and livestock not wanting to see any signs of civilization!
You two warm my heart. It is so refreshing to see people just being people in real world realities. I am really tired of the usual sugar coated videos others put out. Thank you! Yup……Gary rain fly dance…epic.
Thank you so much!
Always love when Brother comes along! You guys have so much fun, and hearing both your takes on things is awesome!
I Love, Love, LOVE these trips/videos of you two together. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Amanda & Gary, great seeing ya's having fun together again. I have a few times come across mobs of sheep being moved along the road, Luckly they only drop littel poops, would'nt want to be riding through a few cow patties
@HondaMotorcycles *needs to* get you on (give, not loan!) the TransAlp before anyone else, and give your brother the Africa Twin, for all the publicity and exposure you give them. You inspire our latent wanderlust.
Your videos are so soothing and entertaining. The rain fly dance is almost a sacred tradition now.
Be safe out there.
Fun series. Never seen an actual cattle drive, but down the street from me there was a Sheep herd blocking traffic as the funneled into a new section of ground. Yes this was in AZ. Love your videos but especially like the ones with Gary.
Gary doing the tent fly dance ceremony was .. unique. Didn't think that could be topped until I witnessed the sleeping mummy?, shroud? bag? Hope you got the HCU fully tested. Think Patent!
Another one knocked out of the park. I am happy to see all of these videos making leaps forward each and every time in narrative and cinematography. Keep it up.
I've been a fan of your channel for some time. You really do a good job of capturing the best parts of motorcycle camping. I must say though that adding your brother Gary to the mix is also VERY GOOD!! I think you should include him whenever you can. Way to go GARY!!! You are awesome dude!!
Thank you very much!
Glad to see Gary getting in on the rain fly dance 😂 your hat setup is genius! Last month when you shared a photo of it on instagram, I borrowed the idea on my last tour , doing a similar setup with a bungee net, rather than crushing it as I’d originally planned to, thanks for the inspiration 😁 here in Ireland cattle drives are a fairly regular occurrence!
I can't say I've ever been blocked by a cattle drive, but apparently I'm avoiding cool places like the ones you've been to!
I love riding with my wife but if my brother still rode I'd be all kinds of excited about moto road trips with him. He and I went camping last year, him in his truck and me on the bike, and it was great.
Looking forward to the next in the series!
I work in the Molalla area, and it’s pretty common to see the cowboys at Coleman’s ranch moving cattle. Welcome back Gary!!
Yes, I was caught in a cattle drive. I was riding in the northern part of the Black Hills when a cattle drive came down the road toward me and my motorcycle. I stood still and let the cows go around, as did other bikers, but one headed towards me and got called back by one of the cowboys. Then, all of the bikers had to swerve around the slippery cow patties that were pointlessly fertilizing the asphalt. 😊
Awesome video Amanda!!!…it feels like I’m watching a documentary rather than a RUclips video. You are very talented!!!
Welcome to my home state! Plenty of beauty and fun riding, I'm sure you enjoyed it. And yes, I rode through a cattle drive on a sketchy stretch of the Utah BDR a couple of years ago. 😆🐄🏍️
Great work capturing the unpredictable elements of even well-planned travel!
Your ability to capture the beauty of any surroundings is perfect!
Furthermore your illustrations in Tim Collin’s book about motorcycle camping are fantastic! Never Stop!!!
Also, I've never seen a cattle drive in rhe middle of the road, and Gary's new sleeping bag is amazing!
Many, many cattle drives! 😅Great video, can't wait to see what shenanigans the two of you get up to!
When I was a kid back in El Salvador I saw cattle drives all the time when I was in the country side and I hope to see then again one day.
Great to see you guys back on the road. I am praying for sunshine. Have you had to deal with the Canadian wild fire smoke? Be safe and watch out for those deer!
PS - I bet some of the noise on your helmet is from that visor. You should try it without it.
Never seen a full on cattle drive. But I have exchanged waves with cowboys I rode past on forest service roads. And had my camp completely surrounded by a herd of cows. 😂
Lol Gary’s rainfly dance 😂 I’ve seen many a cattle-drives taking up the whole road. Surprisingly more in Colorado than back in Texas 🤣
Thank you Amanda and Gary, great to see the tent cover dance by Gary, I think it could catch on! No, I have not witnessed a cattle drive, or by the road.
Grew up in NE Montana so yes to the cattle drive. Excited to see what you guys get into in Moab- I absolutely love that area.
I have witnessed a cattle drive, or a semblance of one. My wife and I were travelling from South Dakota to Montana and just inside Montana (don't remember where exactly), we were held up for about a half hour as the cows were ushered across the road. Love these types of videos, and as an Africa Twin rider, I love your bike!
We rode THROUGH a cattledrive near Paisley (with consent of the cowboys). Very disoriented when in the middle, nothing but eyeballs and a brown 'ocean' that interfered with equilibrium. Very memorable!
Also, thank you to Honda for the loan of the bike and thank you Revzilla for sponsoring this video.
Yes! Yes I have witnessed a cattle drive in the middle of the road. Quite impressive I thought. I loved it. I even quickly got over my annoyance for my path of travel being blocked. I might be a weirdo but I thought it was awesome.
Yes I have witnessed a cattle drive in the middle of the road 😊
A+ so happy Honda sharing the AT DCT for 2023… I just bought my AfricaTwin since watching you! Hope they give it to ya! Ride fun safe. Thx for the share
Brother caterpillar cracked me up. Looks goofy for sure, but also cozy. Excellent! :)
Hey Amanda, just did a 21 day trip and Utah was a great piece. Did the Burr trail/switchbacks and the sand kicked our butts at the bottom of it! Look forward to the next episode.
You guys, are a great team. Great video.
Thanks 👍
I actually have been sidelined by a cattle drive; although, I was in my truck and not on my motorcycle. Peach Tree Road off Hwy 198 east of King City, California. There must of been 150 head of cattle and four riders herding them along. It took about 45 minutes for all of them to pass, but it was cool to watch. 👍🏻
Love you two together. Truly sweet. Great to see you back on adventures. A cattle drive in Wales, UK. Cows walking across the road to another field.... termed as cow s@@t corner? Yes... cowboys...no. 😂Ride safe, LJ
Yes......yes I have! Thanks guys, all the best from Canada!
I’ve never seen a picnic table in a cemetery. Although taking a break in a cemetery sounds like a good idea.
I think I've seen one or two but they're not common, I feel like I'm lucky if I find a bench 😂 but I think it should be a thing!
Amanda and the Marshmallow Man!!!!! Great Content,Aloha
Yes, I have witnessed a cattle drive going down the road…very cool!
Love your sibling adventures. ❤
Cattle drive! Yes, southern Oregon. Was IN a 4 wheel deal and glad of that, because every cow close enough, took a tongue sample of the old Toyota HiLux,
wind shield, mirrors, hood.....glad I was not riding.... :)
I have seen and helped with cattle being moved between pastures by crossing or going down roads. But I have never seen what I would think of as a cattle drive. The distances of the moves I have witnessed were always less than a miles. And those doing the herding weren't on horseback. But it is still a neat site just to see the variation of how we all live our lifes. What work we do.
Commercial or commercial feeling campgrounds sometimes make nice multi day basecamps for exploring an area. It feels like it is less likely to have someone steal your stuff from the campsite when away from the campsite. Of course the fees that many of campgrounds charge feels like robbery.
I truly enjoy your trips with your Brother. You are also going through very familiar territory which makes it especially fun. Ride on!
Oh man, sorry for your campsite woes. You totally got given the finger on that. $60 for a tent site? Man.
I loved that your bro took over the super hero rain fly cape dance. He handled the fish out of water aspect with unique style and grace. Two thumbs up.
End Screen.... I have been stopped by a cattle drive in the middle of the road. Not far from Joseph, OR. It wasn't for long. Only around 60 head.
Love adventures with brother. His sleeping bag is fantastic too.
Wow Amanda. I’m so envious! Love the hat! Love the bike and set us as well! Larry in Fort Worth
I loved seeing your brother do the poncho fly by. Haaaaaaa
Can't wait for the next episode of "Magpie and the Tootsie Roll Ride Again" although that's seriously warm and comfy looking! My mother's place in Ellis, ID has the cows disrupting traffic roughly weekly from early spring to late fall. Of course, Ellis is a T in the road with a post office and nothing else....
This is a great display of sibling companionship, and a great adventure video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i adore the sibling road trip content, my brother and i take a yearly sibling ride as well so it hits close to home! see you guys at get-on adv fest!
Still trying to do the thing. I'll get there someday to see that cattle drive in the middle of the road! 🐄🏍
Thanks! Amanda, I watch plenty of other motorcycle adventure channels. However, I've learned more from your conntent . I'm a young, sixty-four year old male and ride a cbx500. I'm retired and have built the bike up for travel. I hope our paths cross someday!
Thank you so so much for the support! :)
We love your adventures with your brother!
I do so love your trips! I am sitting camping on the Isle of Skye in Scotland wishing I had done it on a bike rather than by car!
Keep up the great work - you inspire so many people to realise their dreams - thank you!
Safe riding 🏍️
On the plus side. The road from Logan to Garden city is a very twisty beautiful ride.
Yes, several cattle drives over the years. Typically they are along the road and you have to slowly drive through the cows...
First I want to start by telling you how much I love your channel, you have given us countless hours of absolutely fabulous content, I truly enjoy the video series with your brother, what a delight to see you guys bonding
So much beauty in this. Thank You, you and your brother warmed my day.
I have not had cattle do that, but did get slowed down like that by a gaggle of geese in Indianapolis
Awesome Amanda, another great series coming through, wooohooo, ride safe!! 👍👍
The cow crossing was cool
Utah is awesome and I did see a cattle drive across a road , funny enough it was outside of SLC, when I was visiting a friend and we were trail riding about an hour out of Salt Lake City
Haven't been stopped by a cattle drive but did get detoured due to a trailer wreck of frozen turkeys. They were having trouble clearing the road because the turkeys were slidding too much for the dozer to scoop up.
I've experienced the cattle drive on the road here in Florida. Looks like no matter what happens you two will have fun! Safe travels.
favourite part of the video is the field tested HCU. No need for any further post trip hat separation therapy sessions
EDIT I may have commented too soon - your brother waddling around in the sleeping bag reminded me of the caterpillar with the German accent in Bugs Life - SHNELL, SHNELL
Great video! Brother is getting more comfortable on camera. You guys are great
Got held up for ranchers moving cattle in s.dak ,,not on my bike tho so not too bad. Nice video still think gary has that perfect announcers voice……many more adventures…..
Glad you got brother to do the tent thing
glad to see a notification from you.
always fun when you bring a Vstrom on the adventure. i'll go anywhere to not stay in a KOA. Anywhere...... glad it worked out for you.
Enjoyed the video and just keep TRUCKING along. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Love your brother he is so wacky so funny
Another great production, keep them coming.
my wife and I all was find your film very funny and interesting
You probably weren't far from a cattle drive in LaGrande. Our version of a traffic jam in NE Oregon is either cattle or farm equipment!
Another great vid Amanda, you and your brother make a really good team. Keep up the great work, Love from Norway. 😊
Yes. One time with a group of friends on a trip SOMEWHERE in Oregon. I don't know where but they were going UP the road not ACROSS the road. A little scary riding beside heavy leather
Thanks for sharing.
Cattle crossing the road is a norm here in Texas. Loved your video! And loved Gary’s sleeping bag!
You have a nice bro! God bless guys!
Great video.
Great job!! Love to be with ya!
Just another awesome video!!! Y’all Rock
I love it. Your brother is cool 🤙🍻
Some good riding in Utah
Gary’s back!
Cool trip. It’s pretty neat to do a trip like this with your brother. Pretty cool!!
And yes, I’ve not only seen a cattle drive…I’ve been on three cattle drives on the Yakima Res. About 3-4 hundred head each time.
Cattle drives? (How about sheep?) Yes on the backroads of California I run into one about once a year.
That is the PERFECT sleeping bag for frightening people at the next campsite! (not that he would do that)
