As you know, I’ve watched all your videos, some multiple times lol, and I have to say that this one was uniquely diff from all the others!

Really liked Joe's motovlog. The sound seemed fine to me and I really enjoyed the more open view of the scenery. Also liked the feeling of being on a motorcycle going down the road, front wind screen and all, but without the danger of course. Looking forward to future installments!

I love the motovlog Joe. A great new POV to add to the channel. I would for sure watch "A Sunday Ride with Joe". I used to ride a Kawasaki Ninja 500R back in the day here in NYC. That's a toy compared to your 1300. Sport bikes never really got the respect of riders of touring bikes or Harley's, but we didn't care. We had fun!

My wife and I travel this way sometimes. I have comms in my helmet so she can call me and we can talk no matter how far apart we are, or if we're in range she can just pop on a headset in the car and skip the phone part. That's very handy. I'm also a fan of wearing all the gear, but in summer I'll switch to mesh. Some people don't trust it but I can say it will hold up just fine in a slide. The difference between mesh and a more solid construction is that a more solid jacket and pants may be good for multiple slides, but the mesh is done after one. I don't plan on crashing twice on the same ride (or at all but you know.. if I could guarantee that maybe I would skip the power ranger getup) so I find that acceptable trade for the absolutely incredible airflow.

@Weretherussos

11 ай бұрын

I know how you feel. I’ve gone done with a leather moto jacket and textile pants. I slid, got back up and kept riding. The pants were done but I still have the jacket. Same with my old race gear - you can see where I slid along the ground at speed but it’s all still good.

Hello Brian, love a lot of the same channels. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

If you'd like a nice winding highway that's extremely scenic, try Oregon Hwy 242 between McKenzie Bridge and Sisters; it's seasonal, opens typically mid-June and closes in about October. Some nice side hikes (my favorite is Upper & Lower Proxy Falls loop), and a lot of great switchbacks. The observatory at McKenzie Pass is amazing on a clear day! I drove it in an MG Midget back in the day, which was more exciting since British cars aren't really built for any elevation unless you really like to mess with a carburetor.

Welp - his luck ran out. He not only got hit, thrown 150 yards off the bike, bike was mangled and he caused 3 vehicles to hit each other avoiding his dumbass. He was cited, he had a busted head & broke his leg in 4 places - it was bent in several unnatural angles.
