As I get older, I've found that I don't have to take those long adventure rides anymore. I've got memories, some better than others. But, I'm happy I did them when I could. MC rides now have become almost spiritual in nature, and a 2-6 hour ride is therapy for the soul. Dual Sport rides are the absolute best!

+eveRide ADV Not really possible, because there are many of us who aren't religious and we just shake our heads at the spiritual references. I think all riders already relate to the idea that motorcycle riding is therapeutic in the general sense. There really isn't any other reason people ride other than they love it and get a lot of satisfaction out of it. But this pretty much applies to all hobbies or activities in general, doesn't it? Nobody would participate if they didn't have any therapeutic benefit of some kind.

I remember my first ever tour in my country, was about 1010km long, I rode for about 14 hours on my (now sold) honda nc700x. It's still impossible to forget the scenes, rain, cold, animals crossing the road and many good friends I met there. Ah and the soreness, I really miss it. After that my life has changes and has been focused to new perspectives as you said. Now I am aiming for a world tour, after two years from now, on my new suzuki v-strom 1000. I just can't wait. Part of the plan is to spend the rest of this year convincing my wife for letting me go :D Thank you my friend for this amazing video. I teared a bit when I saw your son crying, for I have a 2-year-old and I know how it feels to leave him. I wish I can ride with you someday... Cheers. Faisal, Saudi Arabia

It really is the "crappy" times that make the adventure so damn adventurous, especially when you've got people to laugh about it with you. Making new friends on the road is always a treat, and long stretches of pavement are definitely where I get my best singing done

First rule of road trips. If you think you might need gas, just stop and get gas. Even on a superbike I frequently stop every 50-80 miles just to stay fresh. Better to stop for a 15 minute fuel/stretch break than get stranded for hours or longer.

Echo of mine would have made it but I didn't calculate 80 mile an hour wind and 100s of big oil trucks passing the other way.

The whole video reminds me of my first trip, 1000 miles, alone, starting in the rain on my supersport bike. Everyone I talked to beforehand thought I was insane (especially with a stock seat). Yes, I had trouble walking about the first 10 hours (~550miles) sitting on the bike, but it was worth everything I had seen and lived that day, even the hypothermia (it rained the first two hours at ~55-60F and even my break at McDonalds using hand dryers didn't help to dry my clothes)! When it comes to videos like this, where you narrate a story and tell everyone how awesome it is to have a motorcycle, you clearly are the best, Mr Everide!

Bill Punkoney lol yeah man same here! It gave me a huge appreciation for halfthrottle going up some of those muddy hills!

It's called Adventure riding for a reason! (ADV)

The "suck" is what makes you stronger plus makes for more vivid memories.

At 66 years old my adventure rides consists of boon-docking out in the middle of the dessert in my 4X4 RV and taking 100 mile day rides for a week or more. It gives me time for long rides with great scenery and plenty of time to stop for pics. while relaxing time back at camp.

I Watched this video when you released it. I could not at the time understand the Hardships you faced. Fast forward to today. I just got back from an amazing trip. With Quite a few of the Hardships and challenges you faced. In the heat of some bad moments there is a lot of fear / anger. Its hard to describe. Damage to the bike, being stranded miles from help. Injury's. Epic scenery. The brutal wind at altitude. Going from shorts weather to Fear of Hypothermia in hrs... For some crazy reason.. I want to do another trip as soon as possible... I just wanted to say thank you. This trip series is still one of my favorites from you.

eveRide, This video struck a cord with me....so much of life is how we choose to perceive it. I've been scouting a route around the perimeter of Arizona, much of it by myself, with only my DRZ as a companion. It has given me much time to reflect and your stories and words sum the experience up perfectly...adversities do give us a better perspective on the sweeter things in life. Safe travels to you and enjoy the ride!

I have to disagree with you on one thing. It's not a little bit like life. It is life. Life has it's ups and downs and so does undertaking adventures. The plus side to the adventure taking is that you are on an ADVENTURE! It could suck completely, but when you look at the big picture you will always have an awesome story to tell regardless of how it turns out. This was a really great example of perspective and I hope people take something away from this video to the tune of - it's all about your attitude. Your attitude can make the rain awful, the seat caused butt craps, the man parts in your throat all the worst thing on the planet. On the other hand, the adventure, the pictures, the videos, the fresh air and beautiful views and ride can all over come that stuff and make for an awesome trip as long as you stay positive and focused on why you took the adventure in the first place. /book much love, CDS out :-)

I have no idea how I have never seen your channel before! I love dual sport/adventure riding. I ride a 2012 V-Strom 650. It does everything I want to do. I don't mind light off road, but I am not into the single track and technical stuff with hill climbs and jumps. I mainly stick to sensible easy fire roads or ATV trails, and thats when I off road.

Your vid was open and honest and portrayed the great, the good, the bad and the downright ugly of riding. If you keep doing it after you experience some of the crap that can go with it, you know that your a rider!

Truly Inspirational. Thanks for the honesty but thank you more for just making the journey and taking us along with you. Keep up the awesome work EveRide.

HeroRR, every motorcyclist needs to do a solo trip. It offers peaceful self exploration, and so many more people approach and talk to solo bikers. No distractions make every moment more amazing, and the sites that much more memorable. Yes, sharing is most often better, but solo trips broaden the sole. I recommend at least one week, no reservations, full tank of gas, money in your pocket, gear and supplies packed, and point your bike toward the twistiest scenic most roads you can find.

Love it, all the stuff at the beginning can sometimes be what haunts you on a long day, you find yourself asking yourself repeatedly: "what an I doing?" Having not felt your fingers and toes since lunch, sun is setting, and there is nowhere to pitch for the night due to bear warnings, and your jaw is uncontrollably chattering... What you'd give at times like that to be in the comforting embrace of a loved one. Then the universe surprises you! And you remember why you're out there alone, frail to the elements, afraid of predators.

Just keep those tires turning...and all of your troubles roll away!

Dead on! As a rider who prefers to travel on two wheels rain,shine,windy,snowy, I choose to ride. Each ride I gain experience of difficulties I learn to over come. As I master each difficulty it just becomes muscle memory. I ride for the challenges it presents to me so I can clime to the peak. As riders 99% of us have been stranded on the side of a road at some point and had to deal with such hardships that humble us and aides us as a community of riders. 2 days ago I had to push my tiger to a gas station 1/2 mile away so I can use a high curb that allowed me to roll this heavy #|!&\ on the truck.

No matter what we are faced with, perspective can change the way we see our situation. The longest trip I ever took on a motorcycle. 1,2xx miles from Ft Hood Texas to Nashville, Ga on a '92 Honda 250 Nighthawk. But that was the BEST ride I ever had. At the end of the trip, the rear tire was SHOT and my chain was ruined. The worst ride was an attempt a few months earlier on that same bike to make a spontaneous trip home to see my wife. However weather slowed my progress and fatigued me so badly that i had to stop in a hotel in Louisianna and return to my post the next day and tired, beaten blob of a human who was devastated at not getting to see his wife. I have never experienced a ride in weather so brutal since. I got my wife to accompany me on a day ride to a lunch gathering of riders last year. just shy of 200 miles round trip. It was hot. Very hot. We were beat at the end of it... but it was an enjoyable experience, and I got to share it with my wife, and she got to put some miles under her little GZ250. Never want to go without a bike again.

It isn't an adventure if everything goes right. Wanted to punch you in the throat for the first part of that video. But I kept watching and you redeemed yourself.

Well done, love the set up, and the perspective on what an adventure really is. I'm not an ADV rider yet, but have taken several long camping trips through Colorado on a 35 year old Harley. That's an adventure! Thanks!

tgbluesky Heck yeah it's an adventure! You sound like an ADV rider to me :)

I like the way you think, that was even better than the last video! Glad I subscribed.

Great video! Great perspective. The unseen to the outside eye. I was once told it's not an adventure till things go wrong / unplanned. Nothing is easy, you have to endure to reach happiness. When I am on a long stretch of highway or in deep sand on a heavy bike I always say why the heck am I doing this, which is immediately followed by sense of accomplishment. Keep up your awesome work and RIDE ON!

Great video - very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your experiences and perspective.

Yea, brother. I think the best thing besides the actual riding is meeting people along the way.There are motorcycle campgrounds off of the Blue Ridge Parkway which are great and the thing to do in the evening is gather around the communal campfire and share stories that we all love and can relate to. Thanks.

+Vince Yorston That sounds like moto-heaven to me :) One of the best parts of riding is sharing stories with good buddies or new friends :)

Excellent video and plenty of inspiring and/or defining moments!

wow love this video man! life is full of ups and down and its how we meet challenges that shapes us and makes us stronger. without lows highs wouldn't exist, and life would be nothing but monotony and motorcycle riding wouldn't fun just the norm. this video made me cry with joy at you experience i am so glade for you and the great time you had. Your narrative is amazing and it moved me. well done on another great vlog!

I have been enjoying your videos for years and must say that you are truly an inspiration to me. to give up something safe and decide to try and make a living doing something you love and are passionate about takes true courage, and is something most people can only day dream about. My hat is off to you sir! I am a true fan, and would love to ride with you someday when I can make it Stateside :)

That was a great story. Thanks for sharing and reminding us trips that aren’t perfect make the best memories

Wow you did a great job on this video. That fuel mishap 10 miles away is exactly the type of event that defines an adventure and you perfectly illustrated how perspective can shape that. Some of my breakdowns in the past are simultaneously some of my favorite stories. Cheers man! Keep up that attitude!

Dicey Mike Thanks Mike! It's funny how in the moment it can be really frustrating, then once things start to work out your body goes into relief mode and you wonder why you worried so much.

Thank you for sharing. An injury has stopped my truck driving & riding days for a little more than 9 years. I miss the camaraderie of sharing the good, bad, & ugly:)

Beautiful video man. Kudos to you! Got it saved and going to subscribe. Thank you!!

Sure appreciate your fresh approach on rides, with the good and bad. I found this inspiring, thank you

this coming spring break I'm going on a 372 mile trip on my dual sport. I cant wait to have this experience.

+Adam Loya Ahhhh yeah that sounds like a blast!

Thanks for your amazing videos ! gonna buy a Honda dominator in 2 days and from your videos i learned everything I needed !

You're really good at making the count down until my colorado trip go by even slower! awesome video! And very true statement. What is life without experience. Some may say what we do is dangerous. And on the other hand, some may say what we do isn't dangerous enough. But then you have folks like us who leave the arguement and choose to live and enjoy life for what it is. We all expire sometime, might as well enjoy your time up until that moment comes. Your videos are great man! Cant wait for the next.
