  • In June of 2024 my group of friends and I took our Harley-Davidson baggers north of the border, and into Canada to experience the Canadian Rockies for the first time. We rode for 6 days through seven national parks on both sides of the border. It was an incredible trip and I hope you enjoy it!
    EPISODE ONE:
    We kicked off the ride from Great Falls, Montana and headed north to Glacier National Park and Going-to-the-Sun Road, one of if not the most amazing ride in the country. But it was closed...partially. Late snow kept the pass closed but we rode as much of it as we could on two 2024 Road Glide's, a Road Glide ST, Street Glide Special and Electra Glide Standard. It was an amazing start to the trip!

    This is my favorite ! Best motorcycle tour channel. I lived in the US from 2017 to 2018 and have been on the same route you travel on, but it's a shame that I went by car, not motorcycle. I'm currently on a Harley-Davidson (Street Glide) in Korea. If I ever go to America again someday, I really want to travel by Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the route you go to. I always pray that you ride safe and stay healthy. Thank you for the such a beautiful contents.

    Love this video, brother! Love that Great Falls KOA; I need to start staying in those. How did you land that particular cabin? Love that deck. Are most these KOAs with cabins? I remember when you took off and I know I heard GTTS road was open, you guys must have just missed the opening; that stinks. I love that east entrance and Many Glacier Hotel is where we video this huge Grizzly right alongside the road wondering around about a 1/4 mile from the Lodge.

    Just took another family vacation to Glacier NP a few weeks ago, our fourth trip there. I'm stunned by the beauty each time... as if it were the 1st time seeing it. What a place?! Still haven't experienced it on the Harley yet, but on the bucket list.
