Going to try this and Copilot to test them against trips I've already planned and new ones! I'll add in the prompt that I want to cap each day at no more than 250-300 miles. I'll post a result.
I never thought of using AI to help with planning a trip. It’s genius! I do use HDs ride planner for ideas and that with google maps to figure out what roads and routes to use. I will be using AI to help with a trip im planning to Watkins Glen, NY and possibly the Northbound Moto campout in WV.
This is the exact video I've been needing to watch. I took my first solo bike trip last year from Buffalo to Nashville to meet up with the LAB crew and East through the tail well into NC before heading back home. It turned out good with almost no planning but I knew i got extremely lucky. I needed to know how all of you channels plan it amazing trips all the time. I never thought of AI and will use it for another meetup with L.A.B. this June to Salt Fork Lodge East of you and figure out what else to ride to in that region. Thanks Jess!
My favorite route planning tip is to arrive at the hotel by 4pm. Take a quick nap, shower, explore dinner options, and walk around downtown. And then i try to be on the road when the morning twilight starts. Trying to get the most of miles in in the cool morning temps are far easier. This one tip made the days along multi day rides so much more fun and enjoyed the towns ive stayed in.
By golly, this is the first thing I've seen done with AI that actually makes sense to me. AI is generally so inaccurate that it borders on useless, but planning trips isn't about accuracy, it's about an adventure. So what if it sends you on a wild goose chase, that's the idea! Actually, this is awesome.
I use the HD planner all the time, however a few tips, add extra waypoints to force your bike to keep to the route you want otherwise if you miss a turn it will revert back to the quickest route, also zoom in and make sure your waypoint is one road and on the right side. One thing to remember, when you send that route to your bike it will split it up into separate rides depending on the location, which works for your example as thats a route for each day. I would also add scenic stops as WAYPOINTS, this ensures you don't miss them but don't break you daily routes up. I have never tried the ChatGPT but will def give it a try next time I do a route.
I have been a truck driver for over 35 years. I think it is great you are showing people how to plan a route. Thank you. Also I live in Central Texas when I am not driving the truck, so I can ride this weekend and I am going to ride this weekend. I am not rubbing that in, as far as you know. 😂
That is very sound advice. I'm planning an iron butt around New York State for this year for myself and a couple buddies. I have a base plan, but maybe I will try to refine it with the AI. Thank you. And I would love to see the packing video.
My first long solo trip 11 years ago was from Halifax, Nova Scotia down the East Coast USA to Florida, over to Nashville, up North into Ontario and back. 35 days, over 10,000 kms, and solo. RUclipsrs like Her Two Wheels were my primary source of preparation). I don’t think I was as prepared as you are. Basically had no route; just followed secondary roads that said “South” on the way there and “North” on the way back. Every night I would look at a map and write possible road numbers on the back of my hand. No GPS ) It was wonderful and freeing. Best 2 pieces of advice I got back then and believe is true is 1 - don’t plan on daily destinations or book accommodations; rather ride with time (for me, on the road by 9 AM and start looking for a cheap place to stay at 3 PM) and 2 - wear a camelback.
You will think I'm crazy. I'm riding 2018 scout with fairing and several comforts. Am planning ride to somewhere in Colorado from Richmond, Ky. Probably early May. Thank you for showing this. Super help Love your show.
Very cool. My girlfriend and I have what they call ‘analysis paralysis’ even when making day trip plans. This would make getting started exploring so much easier.
Dude/Bro- I love this!! I'm a solo rider normally... BUT, I mentioned to some buddies my plan for a trip to Colorado in June. Now, got me plus 4… LOL Your video just showed me a great way to research and plan with the Chat GPT. I’ve used the Harley planner app in the past, not a big fan on the transition to the bike after the laptop planning. I’ve been using google maps and Riser; I’ll give your suggestion a go- everyone that’s riding has a touring bike so I can share the file with them to load onto their bikes… this way, if I get sick of not being solo, they know where to go!! 😂😂😂 ( joking, kinda) Yet again, great content!!
It’s amazing. You’ll love it, don’t miss Independence Pass near aspen - and Cottonwood Pass on the Divide just after Independence Pass - they aren’t on the San Juan skyway loop - you’ll have to hit them as an offshoot. DONT MISS THEM.
Wow, that really cool. Never thought of using AI like that. Thanks for the video. Have watched a few of your videos before , buy 2 so far today and glad I found this one. Oh and I did finally subscribed. I do like when you tubers suggest to like part way through the video and not wait til the end. I always get caught up in the video and don't always like a video when I really liked it. Thanks again
Ok so I am a bit on the older Gen-X side haven’t dabbled in any AI so after watching your video I thought hell why not!! Literally 5 secs later it spit out a complete itinerary for my Halifax to Virginia Beach trip this summer … as always you rock, and thanks for the tips
I definitely plan on trying it out. I hate Google maps always changing my route lol. Please make a gear packing video. Great job on the video. Such a pro!
Thank you, this is a great idea and what a great way to generate content ideas and places to visit. Can’t help reaching your subscribers goals I am already one.
Good video ❤ - what I do, is I take as many hi-lighted roads in the Hog Book as possible, I set my gps to scenic, punch in the town wherever the start of that roadway is, get there, then bust out that road - like heading to Front Royal to start the Blue Ridge Parkway or like TX ranch road 336 for the twisted sisters or here near my house on the Kangamangus Highway in NH. Then I bust out the road and punch in the starting town of the next scenic road way. It’s been 10 years now, and I only am missing Joshua Tree and DV, and Thunder Bay to Vancouver Island, and the Alaska Loop 😅 - I plan on busting those out this year. I just sold my road glide for a goldwing, we shall see if she holds her own just as good as the glide did? 🤪
Love this video. Especially for the winter when I do a lot of my riding planning for the year. I will definitely try this out. A winter tip I would like to give to you deals with your car. I too have a stick shift truck that sits outside. It is so brutal to drive those first few miles to work when the wheel and stick are so cold and you are shifting so, so much before hitting the interstate. Gloves are just too bulky (no feel) and then when the heat comes up, your hands are sweating. I now wear my summer motorcycle gloves. Just enough separation from the cold surfaces. Great road feel. Hands won't sweat. I also have these two vents that blow right on my hands. It keeps my hands from getting burn while I have things on full blast to get the cabin warm.
I'm 58yo been riding since I was 18. I don't have much of a home life. Home just long enough to get a little bit of money. Then hit the road again. Some trips have been up to 3 months long. I camp out most nights.(free on national forest land) I never know where I'm going. I've been trying to get lost for a long time now. I may try the AI if I ever figure out where I want to go. Thanks for the info. Keep to the back roads and stay safe.
😮!!! I’ve never thought about this! Thanks for opening my eyes for a better way to travel! Yes! Please create a blog on how to pack and the essentials to take too. Thanks!!!
Wow...this really could be a game changer for planning trips. Of course it's just a starting point but I love it. I would definitely be double checking the lodging as sometimes a place that is budget friendly is NOT a place I'd consider safe or desirable to stay but you never know and I'd expect to have to tweak things somewhat. Thanks for sharing this.
@@HerTwoWheels Yup...I've already started working on 3 different trips. Two of them 5 day trips and one 3 day trip for when you can't get away as long.
Super great video Jess. I have started exploring the usefulness of AI, but had not thought of this great idea. I struggle to find attractions along routes and this is a fantastic way to incorporate into my route planning. Thank you for the great content! Be safe.
Jess/her two wheels could you please do a detailed video on how to pack for a long distance road trip for a beginner who's taking his first long-distance trip?
Ya like I'm extremely new and only a 250. But I know a couple that went from PA to TN and they argued about everything. She has tons of experience and he was new. She gave in on so many things knowing the outcome the result was they will never do it again. Maybe you can change their minds! I'm sending this to her. She loves following women with adventure! She bought a book about a women living in a van just because of me, I told her all she had to do was call me and I'd tell her! She's gonna love you!!!
Air pump and tire plug kit. Chain lube. Multipurpose tool. rain gear. Small bottle of glass cleaner and rag for your helmet and screen. Camelback. Those are the things I never leave home without.
Wow, this is so helpful. I am planning my first solo rides this year so looking forward to it and this came right on time for me. This will be a great way to start. Thanks again you rock.
Very awesome, I've not thought of this before. Thank you my wife and I are just starting out and only have 36,000 miles in the last two years. We are looking to book more rides this year. SE Ohio and Kentucky are awesome roads with perfect views.
Chat gpt... thank you Jess. I'm a total fan. I think my biggest thing is trying to get over the fear of the way I look on camera. I have couple videos and still trying to create catchy name for my chanel. Maybe chat gpt can help with that too.. thanks for being such an inspiration. ✌️love your videos
Big fan of your channel. Please keep me updated on your route for the Great Lakes. I live in Traverse City, MI and would love to ride with you a little ways. I will even buy lunch;-)
I always wondered how you figure out those great roads & places you go. I've tried over my many years, sitting at the computer night after night! I think I'm going to try this for my trips I have planned to do. Thank you Jess. 🙂
really cool video, what a great idea. it looks the possible routes would include exploring some pretty cool motorcycle roads. great ideas for some fun cruising time in the saddle.. have done the great lakes tour and the UP several times including taking the ferry to Milwaukee. so many cool little lake towns and beautiful roads to travel, and so relaxing. hope you get to check it out soon!
Great video and information, thank you! I used to ride a lot 30 years ago, took a little break, and started up again about 5 years ago. I've been all over the northern illinois area, but have never really ventured out. I upgraded my bike last year and bought something a little newer that is a little more comfort friendly and plan on doing my first longer trip this summer (planning on 2 - one will be around Lake Michigan). I'm a techy dude, so your video is right up my alley. Have fun on your trip and stay safe!
Thanks, Jess! For my Garmin, Rever, and even Google Maps, I shape my ride by looking at major intersections to break up what could be a monotonous straight line. I'll even shape the route by finding places to stop to fuel up or eat. Afterwards, I may modify the route if the points I picked weren't the best after the ride.
Must be seeing spring! I too am planning. One trip from NW ND to Kokomo to see my sister! Looking at meandering through Wisconsin and Mackinaw, Michigan then south to Indiana. Maybe southern loop back. Will check out the HD app … thanks!
Interesting. 😆 I'm still the old school guy who just hops on Google and Google Maps to check out sights to see, roads to ride on and places to stay and/or eat. 😂 Guess this option is less time consuming. 😂
Wonderful information as I’m planning a ride with my teanage daughter , The ride is one I know well but to show her the route and times I feel like I can reduce a lot of her concerns if she knows the route and stops well in advance so she can relax and enjoy the ride . Thanks for what you do you help us riders 😎👍
Never knew you could do that with ChatGPT. There’s a part of me that loves slamming long mileage days but I do like to get off the big road every now and then. For this summer I’m kind of torn. A part of me would like to take a couple extra days in Sturgis before the rally and that would limit a long trip for me. So maybe I’ll just take my RV down to somewhere around Cherokee, NC and hit up the great roads around the smokies. Or maybe I’ll just do like last year, take a week off work and spend 5 days in Sturgis then do a 10 day trip on the bike. Would like to head to Reno again (hopefully not blowing up my bike’s motor this time) and then head north out of there across northeastern CA and Oregon before working my way back towards South Bend, IN
Thanks Jess for this video! I’m definitely going to use this for this year. I can never figure out where to go to or have time the do a lot of research. 👍🏻👍🏻

As a Part-time RV'er, I plan my trips a year in advance and set reminders on my phone for when reservation days open up. See ya in the U.P.🤙🏼
Thanks for this video. As a road captain I will definitely be trying this out when I need to plan the next ride for my chapter.
Thanks Jess, this could possibly be a game changer when it comes to trip planning. I'll know for certain once I give it a try. Larry in Fort Worth, TX

Super cool idea. I think it may be underestimate the cost of lodging, but what a great way to get trip ideas. Thanks for sharing.
And the fuel cost was overestimated by 3 fold. roughly 855 miles @ 35mpg @ $3.50/gal = $85.5 , I'm sure these values will vary.

@HerTwoWheels I just tried one on a route I just rode, and I can see where I need to tweak it. Thanks so much for the tip!
Super interesting and informative video, Jess! Thanks!👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
YES!! would love to see gear-packing videos!
Thank you! This is something I would use just to take me by places new to me.
Same! Perfect for fun little day trips!
Must be seeing spring! I too am planning. One trip from NW ND to Kokomo to see my sister! Looking at meandering through Wisconsin and Mackinaw, Michigan then south to Indiana. Maybe southern loop back. Will check out the HD app … thanks!
Interesting. 😆 I'm still the old school guy who just hops on Google and Google Maps to check out sights to see, roads to ride on and places to stay and/or eat. 😂
Guess this option is less time consuming. 😂
Absolutely bad ass information. Thank you.
Appreciate it!
Love videos like this!
Some really great ideas! Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nada tunnel and red river are one of my favorite places to ride to for a short stay trip
Great video and thanks for the awesome info!!
Glad it was helpful!
The chatgpt motorcycle travel advisor is the Terminator patiently waiting for John Connor to submit vacation planning request.
Thanks for tip ChatGPT, never thought about using it for route planning. Awesome idea! Now, better eat a big lunch..no breakfast or dinner plans. 🤣
😂😂
Interesting, something to consider I'll give you a shout when I use it
Thanks, let me know how it goes!
Never tried chat gpt as a planner. Going to check it out. If you ever make it up north come check out Harley-Davidson of Edmonton.
Wonderful information as I’m planning a ride with my teanage daughter , The ride is one I know well but to show her the route and times I feel like I can reduce a lot of her concerns if she knows the route and stops well in advance so she can relax and enjoy the ride . Thanks for what you do you help us riders 😎👍
I love a good itinerary 😅
Never knew you could do that with ChatGPT. There’s a part of me that loves slamming long mileage days but I do like to get off the big road every now and then.
For this summer I’m kind of torn. A part of me would like to take a couple extra days in Sturgis before the rally and that would limit a long trip for me. So maybe I’ll just take my RV down to somewhere around Cherokee, NC and hit up the great roads around the smokies. Or maybe I’ll just do like last year, take a week off work and spend 5 days in Sturgis then do a 10 day trip on the bike. Would like to head to Reno again (hopefully not blowing up my bike’s motor this time) and then head north out of there across northeastern CA and Oregon before working my way back towards South Bend, IN
It sounds like you have a great plan!
So cool. I just checked out the site. 100% going to use it.
Awesome!
Thanks Jess for this video! I’m definitely going to use this for this year. I can never figure out where to go to or have time the do a lot of research. 👍🏻👍🏻
I just get overwhelmed. This trick is definitely a time saver!
