- I'm on a mission to visit every state in the lower 48 on a Motorcycle. I'm riding across the US solo on a Honda Africa Twin to scratch off the last few states I have left. This video is sponsored by Moto Camp Nerd.

You are a beautiful good soul, let bad people get lost in their evil, may your joy never fade.
Amanda I hope you realize how many people you have inspired to get out and do what you do my son and myself are looking at doing a trip to the USA in 2027 for 2 months we live in New Zealand....your videos have inspired us to do it so be very proud of yourself you are the reason we are doing that trip ...and we thank you from the bottom if our hearts ❤
You are a pro at using the music with your videos!
You don’t drown out your voice and your videography is excellent! We really enjoy your peaceful and uplifting work.
Thank you 😊
Oh and regarding the rude jerk, just keep in mind that while he made you feel bad for a little while, he has to live with that poison in his soul on a regular basis.
Keep focusing on your happiness. 🤗
Thanks so much :)
don't let some inconsiderate jerk bring you down. He's probably unhappy with and thinks everyone else should be. Keep doing what you are doing Amanda. You are a positive force for people that want to do the exact same thing.
Rude people are insignificant. They do not understand the core values of humanity: Integrity, Respect, Humility, Compassion, and Spirituality.
I'm assuming dude was pissed off she took up a parking spot with the motorcycle
Another great Video Amanda. My wife and I are 74 and still out there riding and "doing the thing".
Aawww it broke my heart to see you like that. You inspire a lot of people Amanda, I hope you know that.
You are amazing. Never ever allow the ignorance of others to damage the beauty within you. You are an inspiration to many. We love and admire you. Keep up the great work. Iceman. American Legion Rider...
Thank you so much!
Can't wait! This is gonna by my cinco de mayo movie!
Amanda, I love your channel and this is another excellent video. I look forward to every episode and as a fellow Clackamas resident and regular patron of the local REI, I feel like there's even more of a connection. It breaks my heart that you have to deal with some of the worst examples of humanity on these epic trips. No one deserves that. I know how difficult it can be to pull yourself out of the funk that some random unpleasant person can put you in. I just want you to know that when I see there's a new ATMF video released, it's a bright spot in my day. If I feel that way, that means there are thousands of others that feel the same. What you're doing is not easy and your work is appreciated and respected. I can't wait to see the rest of the series.
I can’t believe you made it to Jamestown. My folks grew up there. My mom has a story about administering some blue paint to that buffalo. My Grandma had a part in setting up the little town you walked through. Thanks so much for showing the place. It has been such a long time! What a treat!
I just want you to know, I am from PA and watching your videos has inspired me to "get out there and do the things!" It has become my husband and I mantra... we are not getting any younger! We just took our 1 week vacation from work and road our bikes from Western PA to Maine up the coast and back! We tried to stay off the major highways and even though I ride 3 wheels and he has his 2 wheel motorcycle, we had an amazing time and loved the adventures and people we met. we did 3 days camping and 4 days hotels.. but drove over 1700 miles in 7 days and most of those were winding twisty back roads. LOVED IT!! It was our first of I hope many long trips! Thank you for being such a HUGE inspiration!! We are already planning our next trip!! Route 66 sounds fun! THANK YOU for sharing with us your tips/ tricks and motivation! I have made it a goal to get my Ryker CanAm to every state! Please continue your path, you speak to so many of us! Now I need to go get that cook book!!
♥️ thank you so much!!
That's freaking awesome 🫶
LOL ...Gary!!! He does a great job narrating !!
Hi Amanda.
Just wanted to take a minute to drop you a comment to help the algorithm.
Love watching your journey, and congrats on your cookbook 👍
Was listening to another podcast this week (Five Dirty Bikers) and they mentioned you as one the most authentic and trustworthy influencers on RUclips. Just thought I would pass that along. 🙂
what is an influencer?
$14 a night! Such a deal for a pretty campsite and the horse family. You are truly the Julia Child of two-wheeled camping!
Can't help but think of Evel Knievel when I hear of Butte. Love the quiet, friendly mood of your videos. I have good memories of KOA's from travel as a little kid. That first cabin room was awesome.
This is the good stuff! Also, I love the contrast of your high tech Wolfman bag next to what looks like a grocery store produce bag holding your dear hat. While you made an incredibly secure hat strap system, I feel like Wolfman should be making you a proper waterproof hat containment system. I cried with you that day you lost your hat. Be well!
i need people like this to travel with and camp going solo sometimes is lonely and boring to me
Amanda, I am riding from Kentucky back to California solo. Planning to visit Tenn and Mississippi southern states. This will be my longest trip ever. Watching you gives me courage.
Teaching the grandson to drive. The first day with traffic and a car load of people passed us in a curve shouting and giving the finger. The flood of emotions triggered by this shook him but gave us a chance to talk. I explained that regardless of how well you drive, look, act, or your age that these jerks will crop up at times. How do we handle it pull over or chase them down? His answer was, I'm glad i'm not them and that they are gone, I just want to drive. I gave him a big thumbs up... Amanda, sorry you were disrespected but thank you for sharing that it took time for you to shake it off. Knee jerk reactions can be dangerous, stay safe and keep, "doing the thing", !
At the moment I'll need to live vicariously through you and brother. 48 states! Awesome, congratulations!
🤘🏾😎🤘🏾
We've seen almost every video of yours over the past 4 years and usually don't comment. However, seeing this, we can't wait for this voyage. Love ppl who travel on bikes. We've played and stayed in the lower 48s four times. We had a fantastic trip to Alaska on our 367-day BikeCation. Hopefully, our paths will cross.
Sup boots and jeans i just discovered you guys and its cool to see you guys here. Been following Mag for awhile i find it really cool to see you guys here. Shoutout from west monore la. I will take this as a sign and really try get my shit together so i can live the life both of you guys live traveling on a bike.
We follow Boots and Jeans too! You’re also an inspiration and we love how much fun you have together. Your love and respect for each other shines through. Peace!
@@ItIsWhatItIsTV- Heeey we know you😃.
You will absolutely love the long haul on the bike. We are currently home, but are looking to get back on the road real soon,
@@tstanford397 What's up...We rarely get to talk with people on someone else channel.
It's good to see that we all have the same love for other riders.Peeeace!
Been there and did that in 23 days back in 2011. Did a fun raiser for our church's food pantry and hit all the lower 48. Also have done AK and HI on other trips Enjoy the ride!
People suck glad turned your day around and made it good. Thank you for showing us all the cool cooking stuff.
Enjoy, be safe and ignore mean people. Mostly,stay safe! 👍
Fun video. Looking forward to the series. For the life of me why would someone have rude comments to somebody they don’t know . People can be horrible.
I am so very sorry that you experienced that rude and ignorant person…
Love your channel and your determination to make these trips and content solo.
Travel safe and be well!
Love you…❤️
This is the good stuff! Great video, seems like an awesome trip to do and see. Many sights, cloud formations, statues 😆 and so on.
The amazing, the talented, Amanda. Love you, love your channel. As always great video. Stay safe, be careful maybe see you on the road one day.
Love your travel videos.
Also your brother has a great narrative voice 👏
Horses at dinner was one of my favorite things ever from a motovlog. It makes me want to drop everything and get out there and do the thing right now!
Congrats on your journey. My journey is nearing its end. I have 4 more states and it will be my longest ever solo trip from GA to Alaska and the west coast and back to GA. I was able to ride Hawaii in April, so that will be the only state not on my bike. Ive camped before but i really dont enjoy it, mostly because my trips are very compact. This next trip will be in August and only last 2 weeks. Some of the days will be very long. I have the luxury to stop at hotels or use the Motorcycle Travel Network. I wasnt aware of the KOA cabins. Thanks for the tip.
Wow....I so enjoyed your adventures and pssst don't worry about those with negatively words... you are inspiring many and living your live head on....stay safe and enjoy
Love this video so very much! I can't wait for the rest of the series!
Love watching your adventures!!! You’re awesome!!
This is going to be an excellent adventure for you, and I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos, too!
Fantastic content, thank you.
A lovely video Amanda. Thank you for posting it.
Brilliant as always Amanda. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. This is the good stuff!
Some of your best work. Really enjoyed it.
Been there done that! Got the tee shirts, magnets, mugs, stickers, pens, photos……….memories!
Great video, Amanda. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing Amanda!!!!
Thanks for another great video and very informative information. Take care.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Can't wait for what's next. Oh ... I'll be ordering the book, Looks amazing.

Fabulous start to a great adventure. Tickled you got Gary to play along too. Gonna be a great series.
Super rad and inspirational!
This is the good stuff!
Looking forward to your cookbook!
Thanks so much!
I ride as well I'll be following your adventure.
Great video looks like fun.
OMG the range of emotions for this video!! How magical were those horses!?!
I ride to work every day and it’s been in the 40s for the last few months. My gs1200 has such good wind coverage on the legs I just wear regular pants. My heated grips are heaven!!!
Heated grips for the win!
Thanks for sharing such beautiful and exciting travel destinations. It will be fun to follow you on this trip. Wishing you all the best in the future. Greetings from Sweden
Thanks for a great video and ride 👍👍
You’re an inspiration! Keep doing the thing and don’t let negative folks get you down.
I so enjoyed your cooking video. I also use the ex ped pad but I have the down filled one. Crazy worm in cold weather.
This is the good stuff!!
This is the good stuff!! Big thanks!!
Thank you!
Another awesome trip, Theodore’s dining room just got put on my places to visit list
You are a motorcycling and adventure inspiration. Your cooking ain't too shabby either! Keep doing the things!
Great deal on that cabin, and it looks awesome.
Really cool video when the horses came running in you entered another realm of conscious that we can never understand..that moment was just for you. Shoutout from west monroe la.
Just put down my deposit for the 2024 ATAS ES DCT and party of what got me to that discussion was your content. Keep it up love your videos
Heck yes!! Congratulations!!
This is the good stuff!
Amanda, that is amazing video, glad to see you featuring recipes in your cookbook, what an amazing site seeing those horses, sorry you had a bad interaction with some idiot, pleasant to see your day got a lot better, yeah you can still use a pull through site with a motorcycle. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you. This is the good stuff.
I am so impressed with you. I have followed you from the beginning. You nailed it. Take care..
Thank you so much 😀
Love your new bags! Hopefully they make that color
Eric (Wolfman Luggage) can make any of the bags on the Wolfman Threadworks website with the sand color, but he's stated he won't be making the large saddlebags anymore XD but he has lots of other options!
🙌 such a good goal. Can’t wait for us to finally experience Alaska!!
Congratulations 🎉🎉👏🎉🎉
This is the good stuff
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
I am really looking forward to watching all the videos from this trip. Being one who lives in New England it will be fun to see you travel the region I know best. Peace and blessings to you. Give my best to Gary too.... Hello from Connecticut.
This IS the good stuff!
Congrats!❤On reaching the 30 states!🎉Great video.😊
Will try those mushroom/pecan tacos!Your cook book is inclusive.
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🤗
Amanda really enjoying your videos from down here in Australia.
What a great ride. Marina and I have ridden 49 states, but it was in two rides. We hit the Northeast in the lull between summer and color season. Our problem was that we had a hard time finding places that were open, LOL. Of course it all worked out and we have a great time. As usual, love your videos....
I give you so much credit! As a newer female rider in her 50s, I am not sure that I would be willing to go it alone. Be careful out there & if you ever come through Wisconsin, we have a cozy place for you to stay 🥰
Awesome, been considering a bike ride from Texas to New Hampshire in Oct. About 1700 miles one way. Farthest trip so far was Sturgis last year at 1200 miles. Had not thought about KOA campgrounds. Great idea.
This IS the good stuff :)
May you be Blessed in your travels.
love from Australia Amanda , ❤take care , ride safe 👍
Hello Amanda you are absolutely an amazing inspiration for meI did get to meet you at Forgotten Angels. Just be safe and hopefully I will see you somewhere during your and my travels.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💯👍🇺🇸
When you hit Minnesota, you could have visited Lake Atasca State Park THE HEADWATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. Amanda, enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I live in Pennsylvania and I turned on my furnace on October 1st 23.. Very cold nights, you are a trooper, as they say a bad day on a bike ect ect..
I am so excited to see a new series from you! What kind of camera do you have on your chin? It takes beautiful shots!
It was a DJI Action 2
That Africa Twin is looking sweet with that luggage.
you’re so cool and organized i wish i was both or either lmao
Glad you are taking the time to enjoy your trips. I did 48 states in 8.5 days so I didn’t enjoy anything
Hi Amanda, I'm curious on your thoughts ( I haven't finished watching the vid yet, so you may have answered already 😞) on that rain suit? It looks like it's kind of lose and might be generating additional drag, but maybe that's just how it looks in the video.
OK, edit here, not as much buffeting as I originally thought. I see that it goes entirely over your riding gear, so that's nice. Maybe some elastic straps around the arms for a closer fit like you see on some sport bike jackets.
mise en place! You rock sister. Cant wait to see you in Plain .......hopefully
Also, will you have copies of the cookbook for sale at the rally?
I will have a few copies of the book with me! :)
No te conocía saludos desde México 😎🙌
This is the good stuff! Ha! So, when is RMR this year?
www.asthemagpieflies.com/rockymtnroll
The interaction you had sounds like it was with a very pained individual. It's sad that his mental illness put a shadow over your morning. Glad you kept your chin up and moved forward. You never know what to expect out of people these days. Keep strong and keep moving along! 🤙
New fan ~ Yay! ~ Think of insults as confessions; they tell a lot about the one saying them, but little to nothing about the person being insulted. But you know that. Huggs
Holler when you think of doing Alaska. As I revisit trying to rebuild my youtube channel would love to have you on an episode.
A month ago I would have balked at those tacos but then I tried sweet potatoe tacos and was shocked at how good they are. Blew me away.
heck yes!
YEA! I MISS HER
