I actually was homeless with nothing other than my bike and what it could carry. If it weren't for fellow bikers, bad might have turned to worse. Some helped me find gigs to earn money. Another gave me a handful of cash while changing a tire in a parking lot. I was living on that edge for months.

Damn, that has to be a mind bending experience. Not knowing what’s gonna happen is definitely a rough way to live. I sure hope it’s smoother now.

About 2 weeks ago I rode from Ohio to St. Louis and got Rt. 66 to CA. with some side trips in between. I camped out the whole way out. Weather was perfect. I was worried about LA traffic but kept praying and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Rode up the PCH to Leggett, Ca then headed East back towards Ohio. KOA cabins and hotels each night back. It was either raining or cold and my tent is a summer tent so I didn't feel like freezing. All in all it was a great 7720 mile trip.

Love to hear someone riding Dad’s bike after he has crossed over! Unfortunately I don’t have my Dad’s bike but I ride with his bandana on my bars everywhere I go, it has his DNA in it and so do I! The last thing my Dad said to me the day he unexpectedly passed, I was getting ready for work and I had to go into my parents room to get something, it was 4:30am and my Dad startled me and asked what I was doing. I told him I needed my overalls out of Mom’s car so I needed her car keys. He said he needed to talk w me before I left. When I returned he asked if I was avail the next day to help him load up his bike to get the carbs cleaned, ABSOLUTELY I WAS! He also said while we are at the dealership we will look for a bike for me…. I was ecstatic, I was 17 and could not wait to transition from riding in the dirt to riding w my Pops, side by side, hair in the wind! Unfortunately he passed away from a sudden heart attack walking out of work that day, the Co Paramedics were actually right across the street from him and literally watched him go down and they rushed to his aid. While they could not revive him, they tried their best and even waited TWO HOURS at the hospital for me to arrive just to tell me, his only child, how hard they worked to save him. I have tears in my eyes as I type this comment, but I know my Pops is with me every time I ride my bike! I always adjust his bandana, tell him how much I miss him, and then it’s kickstand up and hair in the wind….thinking of one thing. How much I wish I could of rode side by side w my Dad. I love you Pops….. Thanks for reminding of my Dad, I can’t wait to see him again and hug his neck and tell him about my adventures. But then again, he has been my riding partner the whole time weather here or not.

what a production! outstanding! cameras aside, i appreciate you inviting me out and taking the 300 plus mile journey with you. Time is our most valuable commodity and i'm glad to have spent those hours with you and the mountains of NC brother! until our next adventure! talk to ya soon 🙏🏽 and thank you....

ENJOYED THE VIDEO. CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY EVO ON THE ROAD. YOU AND SCOTTY ARE GIVING ME THE INSPIRATION.

Love the video, I’m getting to play homeless my self. Left ND may 19. Been to the gulf, the easternmost point in Maine, and now sitting by Laconia NH. Have met one guy I recognize from KZread.

Great video. I love your words at the end. I haven't traveled by myself on the bike in a long time but you put it so well it sure helped. I'm glad you had a good time. All the best to you and Kim.

That looked awesome. I'm glad it was a good trip. With the price of everything going up through the roof we may all have to find a way to make turning less into more. I've done the packing into the mountains thing with horses years ago and it was amazing. Maybe my bones aren't too old to sleep on the ground again. Enjoy the ride and happy trails!

IV got a place in blue ridge I hope to retire there love the mountains.

I’m only 3 1/2 minutes in, and I’m getting excited! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. ✌️

bro, take it from me....never let anyone talk you out of not being armed for any reason. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it especially in the shitshow we live in today.

Liked the video, especially your closing thoughts,you ever get the urge to travel again.northeast Alabama dekalb county ain’t that far & we got some decent riding here.
