Jess when it's cold and windy I usually go to a slower presentation and I have seen the collapsible fishing pole I personally don't own one but looks like it works very well
With that kind of hand at drawing and passion for motorcycling, I think that merging the purpose of the two passions could be worth exploring. You could travel for art, reach a spot, draw up whatever motorcycle you got for the trip against a background of choice. Make a few episodes, check what your audience likes, explore more. :)
Don’t over think it. I love your channel. Just as I love many other Motorcycle channels. I retired in the Philippines and I ride a road king here. Not many of us here. Your channel along with a few others is how I stay in touch with my old riding lifestyle back home. Just keep putting them out, it is appreciated.
I've recently started to follow your adventures on various 🏍 and I love your complete honesty and passion! A lot of the things you say while your riding constantly reminds me why I ❤️ motorcycling!! During this video after your fishing trip you opened her up and giggled and every biker knows what you felt at that point, keep it up and have fun x
You are an inspiration. I do not even have my motorcycle yet. I am a first time rider in my 50s and love listening to you talk and giggle. Really looking forward to being on two wheels. Keep on …you bring something different to moto blogs..your genuine personality. Thank you for being amazing!
Here's what I have to say when it comes to my thoughts on the channel and how I think you should "run" it if youre worried about views. Just have fun dude. Literally. That's it. Don't fret. Don't worry about corporations as much as you do. I feel like a lot of the time you're worried about what you do/make videos on and how it will affect your channel. Which is understandable. It's a career. But you chose to make this a full time thing cause of two things. You have fun doing it and you love it. Just do and film the things you love to do on the bike/with bikes. If that's camping. Do it. If it's riding to the best biker bars in the Midwest. Do it. If it's car/motorcycle shows. Do it. If it's corporate events. Do it. Cross country trips. Do it. Whatever the hell it is.. just fucking do it dude. When you say you want to do more ride to fish vids cause you love the sound and the idea of it.... you know what you should do. Do it.
Love it and I think you’re on the right track in presenting videos with you doing different types of activities! I’ve been here since the beginning and at first noticed a lot of male commenters which I expected because you’re an attractive female but noticing more women commenting now. I know you can’t always tell by the YT name though so I may be wrong but anyway…..just to give you insight on who is watching….. I’m 60, female, riding over four decades, maintain and fix my own Harley, love camping (cabin off grid), fishing (I need one of those collapsible rods!), firearms, guitar…. and I love love your channel. It’s YOU that draws people in. Your personality, ambition, and the things you like to do. Some of the RUclipsrs you are friends with have a bigger viewer base but I’ll be honest I’m just not a fan of some of their channels. Not gonna bash any of them just saying what I like. You’re laid back attitude and being yourself and having fun being the first priority is what keeps me coming back here. Thanks for being part of what got me through the stupid pandemic! Love ya girl enjoy what’s left of your weekend!
So inspiring! I’m 46, my son is going To be a mechanic and just bought a motorcycle. I told him to fix it up so I can learn to ride it. Since my divorce 10 Years ago, then rode on a Harley as passenger with BF for two years and no longer together. I still sooo want to learn to ride with confidence as you do! Watched your how to ride video and will REwatch again. (I’m in Indiana, so I get the weather woes!lol and originally from Sturgis area!) Thanks for the strong independent women inspiration!!! 💪🏼 you rock!
I'm glad you're comfortable being open and transparent with us! I think it's the healthiest option for you, AND it lets us get to know you better. Keep doing what you want to do! And I have a similar fishing pole, perfect for motorcycle trips! Even the same brand, Shakespeare.
The motovlogs and camping vids are why I found you and why I still come back. I enjoy your particular brand of content more than the event coverage. Just be you.
Your passion, your personality, your choices of what to talk about, your point of view is what I come to hear and watch you ride motorcycles. Keep finding out who you are and know I for one just need an escape from my day and I enjoy the content you present. Have about 60 days until I retire and soon after will join you in sprit on the open road and see where it takes me. Thanks
Jess don't stop what you're doing. Really enjoy your vids. Everytime I watch one I really hope to get a bike soon. Take care and enjoy what you're doing.😊😊
Hey Jess hope you and hubby are doing well, enjoy the journey you are on live every day the best you can thanks for taking us along be sure to go threw the bad lands when your out in sturgis im from myrtle beach and that is some of the best riding i have ever done nothing like sturgis i have been riding over 40 years never get tired of the wind in your face be safe out there
Keep doing what you do the finding of yourself and what your channel is doing is like finding a great road to ride it may have curves, unexpected turns and bumps but always getting better,,,stay the course ..respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
One of the reasons I started to follow your channel is as long as I have been riding motorcycles it has been mostly with other guys and I wanted to see a woman’s perspective. Just keep doing what your doing. It’s your channel do what makes You happy. Ride safe!
Jess, thank-you for being so "open" with us viewers. Being "real" is what made your channel so enjoyable to watch! Stay faithful to you and your self! Doug😁🧸
I'm an old timer and motorcycles have been my happy place my entire life. I used to race them or riding for 200 miles on the freeway at night. I enjoyed it all and want to see everyone riding. I think your channel does that. You show women and men it's never to late to have the time of your life.
I hear ya girl!! Living in PA. I can't handle the winters anymore as I get older lol. The seasonal depression hit HARD this winter....❤ you, keep doing what you do ! 😁
Watching you having fun, or being human and having concerns, or struggling with the weather, road conditions, or whatever, are reminders of just some of the reasons I love to ride. It’ll soon be 115° here in Arizona. I’m riding nearly every day now while it’s still “cool”. It’ll be so much harder riding in the heat but I’ll put on my iced jacket liner and mesh jacket, drink lots of water and ride as often as I can until it cools off again in November. Stay real (which you are). Ride safe. Have fun. Keep posting videos. (You’ve done nothing to make me want to stop viewing.) Keep sharing the dream. Be happy. We’re all in it together.
I started riding motorcycles about 4 years ago and it's really changed my thoughts on where I could live. 5 years ago I almost moved to Chicago. Now I don't think I could live that far north. I'm currently in Virginia, and this is about as much winter as I can handle.
This winter has been grinding on me in MI. Still rode in December, February and March. But dang am I itching to start laying down some miles on the bikes.
The moment I sat on a motorcycle at 5 all I wanted to do is ride. I strongly dislike winter here in Ohio. I get winter depression bad. I plan long trips and weekend trips and day trips all winter long and ride those rides all summer and fall. I'll be glad once work is no longer interfering with my ride time. Love what you do no matter the content. Do you and have fun.
You hit all the right bullet points for me to keep watching. I look forward to future stuff. The points about mass events are on point for me. I love art as well.
Wow! Alot of what you're conveying is so relatable to even the common person on social media. You don't have to document EVERY thing. Live in the moment. You see alot of ppl posting concert coverage from their cellphone. I was guilty of this a few years ago when social media was new to me. Today seems many of us are growing if not grown past that. Except for a few. Thank you for saying what you're saying. Not everyone needs to live vicariously through you. It's not your responsibility, put down the phones, we're not that important. Take in the moment for what it is.
You are going to love Austin TX. I forgot about the hand-built show. I'll be there because I saw this video. Happy to follow you. Do you know what night you are going to be at the show?
Good Afternoon don't over think it we like the way you are food for thought. There's a lot of events that haven't been seen xs11club has a forum been there 22 years have rallies all over xseast is in west Virginia this year a much bigger rallies in North Carolina @ the Iornhorse last weekend September. Your welcome on what you ride. I watch your videos to cope with winter. Thank you. Much appreciated.
Winter is hard for a motorcycle Rider. I covered my bike November 15. Almost uncovered her yesterday. 45° 2pm. Maybe next weekend, Dang. Happy go lucky.
I watch a lot but never comment, Really all i have to say is keep doing whatever makes you happy. no matter the responses and views you get. keep it fun for you.. because there are people like me who will keep watching just because we are curious about your journey no matter where it leads you. (y)
Hi TW, I have not posted for a while, but have noticed a change in direction of your content since you have gone full time youtube, not that it is bad just different. So it was pleasant watching a " old style " video keep up the good content and I will keep watching, take care.
Love every video. Never heard of Keto before. Because of you I started it. Trying to break away from sugar. Thank you for your honesty.You are Helping others.
Jess first let me say “Thank You” to you for doing these videos. I’m trying to catch up on the older ones and watching the new ones as they come. I’ve been riding since I was 16 years old. I’m 62 now and my health isn’t the best. Two years ago I had to move from two wheels to three. I felt bad about it like it was the final nail in my coffin. I was worried what my buddies would think of me. But at 62 I’ve come to a time in my life that I don’t care what other think or say about me. I’m out here riding everyday and in most cases more than they are. So don’t worry what others think or say. Be yourself and enjoy the ride. Take time for yourself. Enjoy the ride in every mile and to heck with others. Love your channel keep up the Great work.
I just moved from Northern Indiana to Southern Missouri. The temps are a lot warmer,and it's rainy,but not freakin COLD.. I use a Pocket Fisherman from Ron Popeil. It's always in my saddlebags. Love your videos as usual,Jess.. Ride safe,and just keep those two wheels down. Peace.
Jess personally, I enjoy you and Jordan's channels. A documentary of your life, hearing of all your ups and downs! I prefer your personal videos. Personally I like these videos.
I know how much you love your Dyna. It’s good to see you on it. I laughed about the road debris. In the wrong spots during spring, your shins will be covered with bugs. In a car once, a truck in front of me on I5 dumped a load of pumpkins on me. I got pummeled for like 1-2 min solid. I thought I was gonna die. I probably would have had I been on a bike. Sorry to hear of your identity issues. There are parts of the internet that suck. Try to be Paul Atreides and just let it pass through you and over you. Which is easier said than done. Know that you have a successful channel and adoring fans for many good reasons. I have noticed how companies over advertise on RUclips. If company X releases a new bike, half a dozen videos show up on the same day for it. I see this on guitar channels, too. You’re a smart gal and you have realized that you should not focus on doing the same things all the others are doing. That doesn’t mean you absolutely avoid all that 100%, but you now what will make you stand out is being unique in your content. Life is a long adventure and the paths are many and varied. We all have to figure out which direction to go each an every day. That’s part of what makes it interesting. I think you’re doing great. This is one of my favorite channels. Even when you go to some press event with a dozen other you tubers, I still Ike watching your video of it because your experience and way of communicating that is unique. I might move to the Pacific Northwet in a couple years and I’m dreading the reduced riding weather. I’m spoiled here in the SF Bay Area. Riding season is Jan 1 to Dec 31. Thanks for sharing your little road trip with us. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for doing this video. Honestly watching your videos continues to get my mind back into getting a motorcycle. I like when you take about your motorcycle passion and personal thoughts on this channel. I also enjoy when you post your adventures. But maybe do a separate channel that focuses on the travel and events you attend and keep this one for the personal time. The time you spend reflecting and if you are traveling at the time you can pick up a sketch pad and draw while winding down and documenting your thought at the moment. It is just a way to go on trips and have viewers enjoy that content and at the same time you can include the more personal “Jess” side of you content for this channel. Idk just a thought! I also can draw and started my career as a Graphic Designer so I would love to see you share some of the things you’ve done. As I said great video and everything will figure itself out soon! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Glad to hear you have all these upcoming opportunities lined up. As for the cross country trip, I've been watching videos on "The RUclips" about the Route 66 from Chicago to LA. Not that I will get the chance to do it anytime soon, but it sounds like fun. Also Highway 50 "The Loneliest Road in America" offers some great scenic views, or so Google has shown me. However, the 100's of miles between gas stations might be an issue... Whatever you do, hope you are able to make that cross country trek, and hopefully, it won't be all Interstates.
I just came home from a week long MC trip to Pismo Beach CA with friends. I usually whip out the GoPros but this time I just enjoyed the experience and took pictures instead when stopped. Keep up the good work Jess!
Jess, I just wanted you to know watching your videos and your passion for motorcycle riding inspired me to ride out of my comfort zone tonight. It may not seem like much but I rode my bike to meet my daughter for a girl's night. On the way home I decided to take roads I don't normally ride, more curves and at night. I feel so accomplished and wanted you to know you inspired my adventure. 💕🏍
There's just something about Dyna that always grabs my attention. I think most of all, its the appearance and sound that shouts raw motorcycle fun and wild adventure. I think APPA has become your favorite way of getting around, and further I understand the human desire for style and comfort. Not sure that transition hasn't caused some of the interest lag you were discussing. Maybe for a while, when you're vloging, switch it back to Dyna for a while and ride APPA just for your personal enjoyment, with the occasional APPA video. Might be an interesting experiment. Camping trips are always one of my personal favorites. Get that drone up and running...those things just automatically add new perspective and interest. I've always been a fan, and still am. I just throw new ideas at you for your consideration. Hope all is well with You and Jordan. Its spring...Yehaw! BTW- you're also a damn good artist. I agree with the viewer that suggested you pair up those two interests from time to time. God Bless Your Life with all good things. Hang tough , it will take off again. COVID has taken a big toll on a lot of business ventures, but its coming to an end in the near future.
I'm the same way with winter. Have to put up the bike and just push through the cold weather, through deep dark depression. It's getting harder and harder every year to get through them, and moving out of Iowa just isn't and option right now. Have been seriously considering taking up snowmobiling. Maybe that would help me get through the riding off season. 🤔
It's interesting the way You Tube does closed captioning. When there's just the running motorcycle sounds, with no voice to interpret, CC calls it "Music". How appropriate!
Do what you like. Don't worry about the trolls. They ask you to go on the rides because you have a big following. Glad you get a chance to do that stuff and get to ride some great bikes along the way. If you get up to Oregon I would love to buy you a beer. We don't have many events here that last more than a couple days so you won't be coming here for that. Take care and have fun :)
You do have a great point about over saturation with events. I watch a few choice motovloggers and found my viewing of each of those channels goes down when I know they all are at the same place for a thing. There is something to be said about capturing the moment in video, but you need to keep somethings in your own head to really live this life.
Jess - normally I have some pithy comment; but I just wanted to offer some mad respect to you. I'm an older (and newer) rider with some joint issues keeping my riding range limited. But I truly respect your riding, sense of adventure and ability to overcome the things that "scare" you (gravel roads, mud, potholes, languages). I know that you mention the female demographic, but you're a true rider in every sense of the word. Keep up the good work! Buckaroo!
I know already commented on this video from when I watched it earlier, but I have to say, I love your genuine reactions to finding animals and rolling on the throttle. I do the same giddy laugh and squeal when I can't ride for a while.
Love your spirit of adventure, the spur of the moment way of enjoying nature, the road, the weather, and it’s so apparent how riding nourishes your mind, soul and spirit. This video translates to me that you are human and by far is the reason why most viewers tune in! The human connection! Have a blessed day and as for your upcoming events in April, make them memorable. One will remember a face before they remember the bike. :)
Your videos are always great! In Oklahoma, I get tired of the crazy wind. Yesterday it was blowing in the 40ies with grass fires all over the place. We do get nice weather in the winter sometimes as far as temperatures for riding. I grew up in Wisconsin and winter there can be crazy cold! Keep on being yourself!
Hey just remember to be you.we love to see you smiling and happy also enjoy knowing your still human.we love seeing all the bikes but it's still you we come to see.lots of ❤️ to you.
Glad you was able to ride, we have had warm days, but seems happens when I have to work and it not consistent enough to ride to work, not ready to get wet when it 50 degrees out.
Hi Jess! Maybe this summer do some trips to various points of interest in ohio. A coast to cost trip with a northern route and a return on a southern route using backroads America is of great interest to many of us that we don't get to see from the interstates. Just some thoughts, been following all your vologs since you started. 👍
Hi, I am the guy that sent you maps of SD Black Hills region and Sturgis. I have not got my Dyna out yet from winter storage but really need some wind time. Time to lock down a place to stay for Sturgis. Maybe check the airbnb listings for the Black Hills region. I enjoy your rides if only to check out the coffee shop in a near by town. I drive many miles for that treat.
North Carolina and South Carolina has pretty mild winters and has some beautiful roads to ride. Pick a spot in the middle and you are a close ride to the ocean and mountains
That Dyna sounds soooo good! I love that giddy laugh when you get into the throttle. You've heard it before just stay true to yourself. Live long and prosper 🖖
Just be your self. You are cool as fuck. I have learned alot from your videos. I bot my sporster at 50 fist bike I've dropped it 6 or so times got recked 2 times it turned me into a punk. I love watching you ride I love the freedom you get ,and the nolage you have gained.
Thank you for taking us along on the ride. It's always a pleasure. Regarding Press Events, I don't watch other RUclipsrs coverage of events that you attend. I do watch their channels from time to time, but I never miss one of your videos. So, keep up the great work.
Fishing and relaxing two great ways to relax. Keep up the great vlogs. The variety of personal and motorcycle related topics is a nice mix. Ohio weather sounds a lot like what we have in Iowa this time of year.
Collapsible fishing pole: amzn.to/3DH7EIh
Last time I went fishing it was August eight years ago because I had surgery on my knee replaced and my mom passed away that year too 💔! Mrs Jess
what a brilliant idea :)
Make sure you catch collapsible fish so you can get them in the saddle bag.
Jess when it's cold and windy I usually go to a slower presentation and I have seen the collapsible fishing pole I personally don't own one but looks like it works very well
sound like u need a rest ,take a breather and then start again
With that kind of hand at drawing and passion for motorcycling, I think that merging the purpose of the two passions could be worth exploring. You could travel for art, reach a spot, draw up whatever motorcycle you got for the trip against a background of choice. Make a few episodes, check what your audience likes, explore more. :)
That actually sounds like a good idea.
I second that!
Don’t over think it. I love your channel. Just as I love many other Motorcycle channels. I retired in the Philippines and I ride a road king here. Not many of us here. Your channel along with a few others is how I stay in touch with my old riding lifestyle back home. Just keep putting them out, it is appreciated.

During this video after your fishing trip you opened her up and giggled and every biker knows what you felt at that point, keep it up and have fun x
You’re doing a great job on your videos. Don’t be so hard on yourself! Keep up the great work! From another local Ohio rider, keep your head up!
Sometimes you have to visit your beginnings. To appreciate what you have learned and experienced in life.
You are an inspiration. I do not even have my motorcycle yet. I am a first time rider in my 50s and love listening to you talk and giggle. Really looking forward to being on two wheels. Keep on …you bring something different to moto blogs..your genuine personality. Thank you for being amazing!
Aww thank you!!! So excited that you decided to learn to ride! 🥰
Here's what I have to say when it comes to my thoughts on the channel and how I think you should "run" it if youre worried about views. Just have fun dude. Literally. That's it. Don't fret. Don't worry about corporations as much as you do. I feel like a lot of the time you're worried about what you do/make videos on and how it will affect your channel. Which is understandable. It's a career. But you chose to make this a full time thing cause of two things. You have fun doing it and you love it.
Just do and film the things you love to do on the bike/with bikes. If that's camping. Do it. If it's riding to the best biker bars in the Midwest. Do it. If it's car/motorcycle shows. Do it. If it's corporate events. Do it. Cross country trips. Do it. Whatever the hell it is.. just fucking do it dude.
When you say you want to do more ride to fish vids cause you love the sound and the idea of it.... you know what you should do. Do it.
Smiling happy jess is a great video.
Thank you and be safe.
Love your content girl. Don't give up, just do YOU!
“It’s like a little piece of me came back to life.” I feel ya 100%
Love it and I think you’re on the right track in presenting videos with you doing different types of activities! I’ve been here since the beginning and at first noticed a lot of male commenters which I expected because you’re an attractive female but noticing more women commenting now. I know you can’t always tell by the YT name though so I may be wrong but anyway…..just to give you insight on who is watching…..

So inspiring! I’m 46, my son is going
To be a mechanic and just bought a motorcycle. I told him to fix it up so I can learn to ride it.

Really enjoy your vids.
Everytime I watch one I really hope to get a bike soon. Take care and enjoy what you're doing.😊😊
These are the kind of videos I'm here for . You just being you. Love your little adventures
Hey Jess hope you and hubby are doing well, enjoy the journey you are on live every day the best you can thanks for taking us along be sure to go threw the bad lands when your out in sturgis im from myrtle beach and that is some of the best riding i have ever done nothing like sturgis i have been riding over 40 years never get tired of the wind in your face be safe out there

Thank you for this, thank you for keeping it real. It's your best asset. See you on the road.
Keep being you mate, the OG.
Nothing better than watching your channel while having some coffee.
One of the reasons I started to follow
your channel is as long as I have been riding motorcycles it has been mostly with other guys and I wanted to see a woman’s perspective. Just keep doing what your doing. It’s your channel do what makes You happy. Ride safe!
Nice Vlog Jess! I enjoy just riding along with you while you ride, laugh and talk about whatever’s on your mind. Ride safe!
Jess, thank-you for being so "open" with us viewers. Being "real" is what made your channel so enjoyable to watch! Stay faithful to you and your self! Doug😁🧸

Fishing - the second best way to relax.
Make the videos about you and your experience on the bike. You're doing fine kiddo!
I hear ya girl!! Living in PA.
I can't handle the winters anymore as I get older lol. The seasonal depression hit HARD this winter....❤ you, keep doing what you do ! 😁
Was my birthday weekend! I'm late but proud to support!
Watching you having fun, or being human and having concerns, or struggling with the weather, road conditions, or whatever, are reminders of just some of the reasons I love to ride.
It’ll soon be 115° here in Arizona. I’m riding nearly every day now while it’s still “cool”. It’ll be so much harder riding in the heat but I’ll put on my iced jacket liner and mesh jacket, drink lots of water and ride as often as I can until it cools off again in November.
Stay real (which you are). Ride safe. Have fun. Keep posting videos. (You’ve done nothing to make me want to stop viewing.) Keep sharing the dream. Be happy. We’re all in it together.
These kinds of videos are the ones I like best -- just you, being you, and "face time".
I’m hear for it
YOU GOT THIS GIRL! 🏍👍
Good call on not starting a fire. Saw a grass fire on my way back from Zanesville to Columbus along I70 probably from a discarded cigarette.
I started riding motorcycles about 4 years ago and it's really changed my thoughts on where I could live. 5 years ago I almost moved to Chicago. Now I don't think I could live that far north. I'm currently in Virginia, and this is about as much winter as I can handle.
Great video thx
This winter has been grinding on me in MI. Still rode in December, February and March. But dang am I itching to start laying down some miles on the bikes.
Donna is the best way to go for any trip..
The moment I sat on a motorcycle at 5 all I wanted to do is ride. I strongly dislike winter here in Ohio. I get winter depression bad. I plan long trips and weekend trips and day trips all winter long and ride those rides all summer and fall. I'll be glad once work is no longer interfering with my ride time. Love what you do no matter the content. Do you and have fun.
Oh man!! I just bought 3 new poles to try out for bikes and truck!
Jess, you know what! You Do You! I Love It💕
Thanks for your honesty.
You hit all the right bullet points for me to keep watching. I look forward to future stuff. The points about mass events are on point for me. I love art as well.

You are going to love Austin TX. I forgot about the hand-built show. I'll be there because I saw this video. Happy to follow you. Do you know what night you are going to be at the show?
Good Afternoon don't over think it we like the way you are food for thought. There's a lot of events that haven't been seen xs11club has a forum been there 22 years have rallies all over xseast is in west Virginia this year a much bigger rallies in North Carolina @ the Iornhorse last weekend September. Your welcome on what you ride. I watch your videos to cope with winter. Thank you. Much appreciated.
I have that same pole! I love it for camping.
Love your channel and if nothing else your content looks crisp and clean. As a fellow Ohioan, I feel your pain with this shitty weather!
Winter is hard for a motorcycle Rider. I covered my bike November 15. Almost uncovered her yesterday. 45° 2pm. Maybe next weekend, Dang. Happy go lucky.
I watch a lot but never comment, Really all i have to say is keep doing whatever makes you happy. no matter the responses and views you get. keep it fun for you.. because there are people like me who will keep watching just because we are curious about your journey no matter where it leads you. (y)
I also bought that same pole for my pops while he is on his bike!
Hi TW, I have not posted for a while, but have noticed a change in direction of your content since you have gone full time youtube, not that it is bad just different. So it was pleasant watching a " old style " video keep up the good content and I will keep watching, take care.
Love every video. Never heard of Keto before. Because of you I started it. Trying to break away from sugar. Thank you for your honesty.You are Helping others.
Jess first let me say “Thank You” to you for doing these videos. I’m trying to catch up on the older ones and watching the new ones as they come. I’ve been riding since I was 16 years old. I’m 62 now and my health isn’t the best. Two years ago I had to move from two wheels to three. I felt bad about it like it was the final nail in my coffin. I was worried what my buddies would think of me. But at 62 I’ve come to a time in my life that I don’t care what other think or say about me. I’m out here riding everyday and in most cases more than they are. So don’t worry what others think or say. Be yourself and enjoy the ride. Take time for yourself. Enjoy the ride in every mile and to heck with others. Love your channel keep up the Great work.
I just moved from Northern Indiana to Southern Missouri. The temps are a lot warmer,and it's rainy,but not freakin COLD.. I use a Pocket Fisherman from Ron Popeil. It's always in my saddlebags. Love your videos as usual,Jess.. Ride safe,and just keep those two wheels down. Peace.
Jess personally, I enjoy you and Jordan's channels. A documentary of your life, hearing of all your ups and downs! I prefer your personal videos. Personally I like these videos.
I know how much you love your Dyna. It’s good to see you on it. I laughed about the road debris. In the wrong spots during spring, your shins will be covered with bugs. In a car once, a truck in front of me on I5 dumped a load of pumpkins on me. I got pummeled for like 1-2 min solid. I thought I was gonna die. I probably would have had I been on a bike.
Sorry to hear of your identity issues. There are parts of the internet that suck. Try to be Paul Atreides and just let it pass through you and over you. Which is easier said than done. Know that you have a successful channel and adoring fans for many good reasons.
I have noticed how companies over advertise on RUclips. If company X releases a new bike, half a dozen videos show up on the same day for it. I see this on guitar channels, too. You’re a smart gal and you have realized that you should not focus on doing the same things all the others are doing. That doesn’t mean you absolutely avoid all that 100%, but you now what will make you stand out is being unique in your content.
Life is a long adventure and the paths are many and varied. We all have to figure out which direction to go each an every day. That’s part of what makes it interesting. I think you’re doing great. This is one of my favorite channels. Even when you go to some press event with a dozen other you tubers, I still Ike watching your video of it because your experience and way of communicating that is unique.
I might move to the Pacific Northwet in a couple years and I’m dreading the reduced riding weather. I’m spoiled here in the SF Bay Area. Riding season is Jan 1 to Dec 31.
Thanks for sharing your little road trip with us. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for doing this video. Honestly watching your videos continues to get my mind back into getting a motorcycle. I like when you take about your motorcycle passion and personal thoughts on this channel. I also enjoy when you post your adventures. But maybe do a separate channel that focuses on the travel and events you attend and keep this one for the personal time. The time you spend reflecting and if you are traveling at the time you can pick up a sketch pad and draw while winding down and documenting your thought at the moment. It is just a way to go on trips and have viewers enjoy that content and at the same time you can include the more personal “Jess” side of you content for this channel. Idk just a thought! I also can draw and started my career as a Graphic Designer so I would love to see you share some of the things you’ve done. As I said great video and everything will figure itself out soon! Keep doing what you’re doing!
This is the "Her Two Wheels" I loved. I'm not knock'in the new format but I have missed this.
Glad to hear you have all these upcoming opportunities lined up. As for the cross country trip, I've been watching videos on "The RUclips" about the Route 66 from Chicago to LA. Not that I will get the chance to do it anytime soon, but it sounds like fun. Also Highway 50 "The Loneliest Road in America" offers some great scenic views, or so Google has shown me. However, the 100's of miles between gas stations might be an issue... Whatever you do, hope you are able to make that cross country trek, and hopefully, it won't be all Interstates.
You are doing really well. Keep going. 😊
Put a throttle lock on the dyna. It's a manual cruise control but it works.
I just came home from a week long MC trip to Pismo Beach CA with friends. I usually whip out the GoPros but this time I just enjoyed the experience and took pictures instead when stopped. Keep up the good work Jess!
Really insightful and authentic…. Thank you.
👍safe travels have fun I am headed to the Cajun Country HOG Rally this month
Jess, I just wanted you to know watching your videos and your passion for motorcycle riding inspired me to ride out of my comfort zone tonight. It may not seem like much but I rode my bike to meet my daughter for a girl's night. On the way home I decided to take roads I don't normally ride, more curves and at night. I feel so accomplished and wanted you to know you inspired my adventure. 💕🏍
I bet that felt AMAZING!!! It’s the little things that make up the biggest moments on our journey! I loved reading this! 🥰
There's just something about Dyna that always grabs my attention. I think most of all, its the appearance and sound that shouts raw motorcycle fun and wild adventure. I think APPA has become your favorite way of getting around, and further I understand the human desire for style and comfort. Not sure that transition hasn't caused some of the interest lag you were discussing. Maybe for a while, when you're vloging, switch it back to Dyna for a while and ride APPA just for your personal enjoyment, with the occasional APPA video. Might be an interesting experiment. Camping trips are always one of my personal favorites. Get that drone up and running...those things just automatically add new perspective and interest. I've always been a fan, and still am. I just throw new ideas at you for your consideration. Hope all is well with You and Jordan. Its spring...Yehaw! BTW- you're also a damn good artist. I agree with the viewer that suggested you pair up those two interests from time to time. God Bless Your Life with all good things. Hang tough , it will take off again. COVID has taken a big toll on a lot of business ventures, but its coming to an end in the near future.
Brilliant video. Stuff like this is amazing Jess.
I'm the same way with winter. Have to put up the bike and just push through the cold weather, through deep dark depression. It's getting harder and harder every year to get through them, and moving out of Iowa just isn't and option right now. Have been seriously considering taking up snowmobiling. Maybe that would help me get through the riding off season. 🤔
Nice to see you back home! 😀
It's interesting the way You Tube does closed captioning. When there's just the running motorcycle sounds, with no voice to interpret, CC calls it "Music". How appropriate!
Jess you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Ride safe, have fun!
Do what you like. Don't worry about the trolls. They ask you to go on the rides because you have a big following. Glad you get a chance to do that stuff and get to ride some great bikes along the way. If you get up to Oregon I would love to buy you a beer. We don't have many events here that last more than a couple days so you won't be coming here for that. Take care and have fun :)
Good to see you on that bike!!!
You do have a great point about over saturation with events. I watch a few choice motovloggers and found my viewing of each of those channels goes down when I know they all are at the same place for a thing. There is something to be said about capturing the moment in video, but you need to keep somethings in your own head to really live this life.
We will still be following along on your travels and adventures. The motorcycle adventures are a bonus lol keep posting
Welcome back.
Jess - normally I have some pithy comment; but I just wanted to offer some mad respect to you. I'm an older (and newer) rider with some joint issues keeping my riding range limited. But I truly respect your riding, sense of adventure and ability to overcome the things that "scare" you (gravel roads, mud, potholes, languages). I know that you mention the female demographic, but you're a true rider in every sense of the word. Keep up the good work! Buckaroo!
I know already commented on this video from when I watched it earlier, but I have to say, I love your genuine reactions to finding animals and rolling on the throttle. I do the same giddy laugh and squeal when I can't ride for a while.
Love your spirit of adventure, the spur of the moment way of enjoying nature, the road, the weather, and it’s so apparent how riding nourishes your mind, soul and spirit. This video translates to me that you are human and by far is the reason why most viewers tune in! The human connection! Have a blessed day and as for your upcoming events in April, make them memorable. One will remember a face before they remember the bike. :)
Your videos are always great!
In Oklahoma, I get tired of the crazy wind. Yesterday it was blowing in the 40ies with grass fires all over the place. We do get nice weather in the winter sometimes as far as temperatures for riding.
I grew up in Wisconsin and winter there can be crazy cold!
Keep on being yourself!
Hey just remember to be you.we love to see you smiling and happy also enjoy knowing your still human.we love seeing all the bikes but it's still you we come to see.lots of ❤️ to you.
Take those split shot sinkers off when you use a crankbait and keep on keeping on. Always look forward to a Hertwowheels vid.
Take the old road, right in front of the duke station. Keep you out of the wind and you can walk around the shore a little.
Your gonna love Savannah!!! Great people! and ol' Savannah is awesome...
Glad you was able to ride, we have had warm days, but seems happens when I have to work and it not consistent enough to ride to work, not ready to get wet when it 50 degrees out.
Hi Jess! Maybe this summer do some trips to various points of interest in ohio. A coast to cost trip with a northern route and a return on a southern route using backroads America is of great interest to many of us that we don't get to see from the interstates. Just some thoughts, been following all your vologs since you started. 👍
Hi, I am the guy that sent you maps of SD Black Hills region and Sturgis. I have not got my Dyna out yet from winter storage but really need some wind time. Time to lock down a place to stay for Sturgis. Maybe check the airbnb listings for the Black Hills region. I enjoy your rides if only to check out the coffee shop in a near by town. I drive many miles for that treat.
North Carolina and South Carolina has pretty mild winters and has some beautiful roads to ride. Pick a spot in the middle and you are a close ride to the ocean and mountains
As always, enjoyed the video! Great work!
That Dyna sounds soooo good! I love that giddy laugh when you get into the throttle. You've heard it before just stay true to yourself. Live long and prosper 🖖
Just be your self. You are cool as fuck. I have learned alot from your videos. I bot my sporster at 50 fist bike I've dropped it 6 or so times got recked 2 times it turned me into a punk. I love watching you ride I love the freedom you get ,and the nolage you have gained.
Thank you for taking us along on the ride. It's always a pleasure.
Regarding Press Events, I don't watch other RUclipsrs coverage of events that you attend. I do watch their channels from time to time, but I never miss one of your videos.
So, keep up the great work.
Fishing and relaxing two great ways to relax. Keep up the great vlogs. The variety of personal and motorcycle related topics is a nice mix. Ohio weather sounds a lot like what we have in Iowa this time of year.
