After watching this, it makes me wish for younger days, there are more days behind me , then in front of me. advice: work to live, not live to work. Experience all you can while your young, LIFE IS SHORT

I watch a lot of these types of videos and I have to say this was great. Good narrative, no endless road shots, and thank god, NO TECHNO BACKGROUND MUSIC. Thank you, I really enjoyed watching.

Wonderful! And Thank You again for no stupid music!

it is rare that i see a video that i like as much as this one.

I live in Australia and am 65. I have done 5 major road trips on a road bike (each in excess of 2000km) but none of my road trips compare to your epic ride. Totally amazing !! well put together and just the sound of the bike -- best background music of all. I hope you get to do some more of these while you are young and can. Thanks for uploading. Stay upright.

*A W E S O M E* footage of a ride that many viewers will never get the opportunity to take. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the extra time and narrating your journey, and not overlaying your video with unimaginative computer generated music like so many other creators do. It makes your video so much more enjoyable and quite frankly, drew me in. My biggest regret about this video: I can only give it one "like". I wish the technology would let me dance all over that thumbs up icon. I can't say it enough - great video.

I rarely ever comment on videos, but felt the need to after watching yours... Truly impressive, I hope you post more in the future...

The narration reminds me of Lieutenant John Dunbar's journal in Dances With Wolves.

ya, very monotone.

Nicely done! I've ridden for over 50 yrs but always on the street. I did tell the wife that when I retire I'm gonna dip my wheel in each ocean. That Trans-America trail is a challenge. Good job.

Thanks for NO TECHNO BACKGROUND MUSIC!! Good video.

Listen to that KLR chug. You can hear each revolution. You can hear the reliability, the indestructibility of that bad boy. I kind of want one

Truly epitomizes what it means to adventure ride. Fantastic work.

Great video! I call my KLR "The Tractor." So far it has taken me from Canada to Ushuaia, Argentina, and back to Uruguay. Currently, me and my girlfriend are stuck in Uruguay, waiting out COVID19 border closures and lockdown. Hopefully we'll be rolling again soon.

this is what all of us Weekend Warriors dream about.

A sweet sweet narration of a beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing this. You meet a lot of 'regular guys' riding on regular bikes in irregular places, embracing dirt and life.

As with another viewer, I never comment on videos. Except this one. Well done. Fantastic short film.

I watched this video before I began my journey on the TAT, then again after spending 3 weeks on the trail. We stopped in MOAB for 4 days before turning for home. For those who have the seen the west on a bike, they get it. Now back in Atlanta while driving to work everyday I think MOAB often. This video captures that feeling well. Good job.

Man that’s a dream ride, my hat goes off to you brother, most people like me just talk about this as you did it , nice video thanks

Nice video,I made the trip in 1979 when I was 19,before GPS ( for me anyway).Now I’m 60 and all I can think about is doing it again. Especially with a modern bike,I did my trip on a Triumph that took me 5 months to modify.I still remember the people I met along the way.Thanks again 👍🏻

Well done. Thank you for sharing!

One of the best TAT vids. Thank you sir!

Excellent excellent. Thanks for sharing. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽

I just loved this video man, true efforts and real experience. amazing work buddy

Thank you for taking the time to set up the shots to document your TAT adventure, and for editing the video for our benefit. Many people believe their ADV travels must be a long series, day by day, adding up to hours. Sometimes less is more. You managed to give a great representation of the western TAT in less than 11 minutes, for maximal impact. I love your calm presentation that lets the trip speak for itself. I'm probably too old for the TAT, particularly solo, but I have a dream of riding dirt roads and back roads through the desert southwest and your video added to my motivation.

Started watching videos of the Transamerica trail recently. this is by far the best video I've seen so far. Good job.

outstanding job on the film, well edited. You gave us a great feel for the trip in only 10 minutes. I really enjoyed it.

You are a poet. Great photography. Who are the idiots that don't like your work?

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

Best TAT video that I have seen, you let the route speak for it's self! It brought back some great memories from this summer, I did a solo run from cost to cost and will never forget it. Thanks

One of the best dualsports never seen. Thanks for sharing!

Really well done! Thank you for sharing your trip :)

Awesome man! More power to you and your crew!

Truly enjoyed. Lots of work to shoot and edit, and the result was fantastic!

Excellent video my friend, thanks for sharing and I hope you have a blessed week my friend.

Nice job on the video Drew! The TAT is on my bucket list and I can't wait to do it or at least a portion of it. Maybe Co. to Or. would be realistic as I live in Utah. Stay safe and enjoy your future adventures!
