    Hey Sally, i love your channel and hope you get better real soon from your accident 😊. I ride something way different to you, a Canam Ryker ( totally stock) harsh suspension, twitchy handling but keeps me on my toes, love it and totally agree that just ride what you ride and screw what people think or say, just enjoy and get out in the wind and carve those back rides 😁

    I concur with all you spoke about riding and riding a hardtail. Riding a non-suspension bike will make you pay attention or you may get the, oh shit that pot hole rattled my teeth, or I'm sorry spine for doing that to ya! lol! I too don't ride interstates. I-85 runs through where I live and it's nothing but a death trap in my opinion. Backroads where I ride at the speed I want cause there's no other traffic and the roads aren't in that great of shape anyways. This world and time flies by way to fast, and my goal is to slow down as much as I possible can and enjoy this beautiful world on two wheels. Loved the video! Y'all keep wrenching and riding! Peace

    That is a beautiful scene. The one thing I have enjoyed about Colorado. I will have to make that ride before I go. I have always liked the scenic route over going through the same bs traffic filled roads every day.
    As for hard tails, I would like to experience one, but I do have to be careful. I have a broken tailbone, so I need some padding and that rear shock assembly. I do like tasteful choppers though, and want to experience it at least once.
    I have never trailered my bike, and have only hauled it when I have to move. Otherwise, I only own the motorcycle. I haven't owned a car in 8 years now. That is the transportation method I have chosen, and I love it. Bikes and Jeeps lol, but I haven't had a Jeep in a very long time. Maybe one day, but the Jeep would be parked 90% of the time, only taken for high cargo requirements, hauling or snow.
    Great video, and thank you for showing off that amazing view. 🖤

    Ride Safe, Ride Free, with the wind blowing in your face, and you can smell the countryside, I went for a ride the other day about 70 miles, I have forgotten what it was like being able to smell the countryside, People cutting their grass, pine trees, Going through small villages with abundance of flowers growing on the roadside as it is in rural France, Very beautiful, People seem to take pride in their villages and properties, Even the smell coming off the road from the tarmac being very hot, Twisty Bends Rolling Hills, Up and down mountains, ,
    France.

    I used to have a hardtail -rigid- framed BSA from 1949, and I rode that bike all over Europe 25 years ago. it was lovely. I wish I'd never sold it, 50 mph everywhere, it need a fair bit of road to corner fast, but it tracked fair and square. Rear suspension is overrated and squidgey. Love your videos.

  • @newageautotechnology
