Dam I really admire him to ride his bike from la to nyc I also ride I have kawasaki Vulcan Voyager that's a massive cruiser motorcycle I want to ride from philly to sturgis but I cant be riding on a basic little triumph Bonneville like that across the country I need a little more technology if I'm doing a ride like that lol but he's definitely and inspiration for me

That ending when you back your bike up to the same spot you park your bike everyday and notice that your home and Everything looks so familiar. The emotion that overwhelms you knowing you accomplished a big journey and found yourself spiritually is the definition of life. Being Alive and having that emotion and memories is something you will have forever in your life. One of the best feelings you can ever experience. Thank you for taking us on that journey with you..

Aye, Same thing happens after a long passage at sea. The glorious sights you saw, the monster waves you survived, the winds from a storm, the damaged rigging leaving you adrift. Struggling a jammed line inches from death. Almost losing a friend over the side. Then the moment you step foot on the dock...... you can't wait to get out there again. When you walk pass people they have no idea what you have just survived. All those sights and sounds are rushing through your head while you sit there and listen to them jabber about bullshit. God bless our soldiers.

The only thing that's real in life, truly, is experience. No matter how overly romantic it sounds, there are few like riding solo into the expanse, leaning into a corner on a forest road, or cresting a hill to see the fog hover over a river below.

I'm a 64 year old Canadian but I spent my youth in the U.S living two years in Chicago, 7 in California and Colorado for 10 and have travelled across the country several times. This KZread pop-up brought back so many memories that I was just mesmerized, reliving my youth. And loving the soundtrack! I Shazaamed it as I went and will listen to every one of those albums. As well as re-watch the whole thing. And the ending was perfect! Great job.

I always wanted to do a tour of America in a car with some friends but this has made me think about going it alone on a bike when I qualify for a full licence. Thanks for uploading this. It's great.

I found these 3 episodes absolutely therapeutic. Your emotions at the end speak volumes for all us bikers. Sensational trip my friends. And thankyou for sharing that experience with us. You will inspire alot to hit the road no doubt! Peace.

Hey Jake , what an epic trip! Thanks for taking us along. Brought back a lot of memories ... In 1979 I finished my first year as a HS teacher and had my first summer off work. I had never ridden a motorcycle, so I asked one of my senior students with a bike to show me. After a hour on his bike on the HS track, I took my permit test. The next day I bought a new CX 500. The following day I took my license test, and the next day headed from St Cloud, Minnesota toward San Diego. Young and confident, it was an amazing trip. On the way back I ran out of money, so I could afford gas or food, but not both. I ended up riding 36 hours straight from Salt Lake City to St Cloud and then sleeping for 24 hours! Forty plus years later, it is still one of my fondest memories. Thanks for bringing it back!

I had an almost identical experience from my student days; in 1980 I ran out of money for food so I road 20 hours straight non-stop (except for petrol) from Brisbane to Melbourne (1,800km) on my Trident t150. Got into Melb with $5 left and lashed out and bought a burger:-) I also slept for 24 hours straight and had a sore arse for about a week :-)

Solo riding is so overwhelming over a period of 30 days. the gusty winds, the sharp turns, piercing rain drops, the solace in riding with nothing around, the lovely gesture of people who understand the joy of riding, the random conversation with oneself and lastly hearing the bike roar. All this is something to be felt and I guess you have by far come the closest to make it feel for others. Wonderful..!!

Isn't traveling solo a great way to go!? You've done a great job with these videos, and I love your taste in music.

The smile on your face at the end...reflected in the mirror...that said more than a few words. Awesome, thank you.

BRAVO! I Know what means riding hours under the rain, alone, thousend of Km (ooppss..miles) far away from home. WITH THIS KIND OF FANTASTIC MOTORCYCLE. Super travel, my friend. Super travel indeed!

my question is, how can you document such a beautiful experience into such a small time frame? These 3 videos have brought me such joy and inspiration yet its only took an hour of my time, yet a month of yours?

Hey man, just wanted to pop in and say that was the most fitting ending I could've imagined for this series of videos. I'm so ridiculously happy that you were able to experience something so moving and share it with everyone else. Godspeed my friend, keep those 2 on the road.

Thank you. I did a similar trip on my Triumph Speedmaster in 2017. I went from Kentucky, north to Canada. From there I road across Canada to Banff. Next down in to Idaho then Spokane, Washington and on to Portland. From there I hugged the West Coast down Washington and Oregon. The Pacific coast in Organ is one of the most beautiful sites. Next I went into California, through Eureka and back out to the coast. I took the same trip across the Golden Gate. From there it was across the desert to Vegas and then the Grand Canyon. Finally, I went through New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and back home to Kentucky. Roughly 32 days of pure bliss. I know that feeling when you pulled back in at home. Thanks for helping me re-live my journey. I didn’t have a GoPro back then. The whole thing is a blessing.

One of the best trips ever. Load up the old Bonny with all the gear, roll the handlebars back a bit to suit, and ride right across the US and back home again. How simple is that :) I enjoy hearing commentary as well, but this series just didn’t need any. The scenery and the music told the story for me this time. Well done Jake, and thanks so much for letting us see this. Cheers.

Thank you for taking us on your journey - I felt your tears at the end. Well done - on accomplishing the journey as well as this amazing video series.

My parents were illegal immigrants in the States (NYC) and I have always been dreaming of visiting your beautiful country since young. But your videos showed beauty beyond the big cities. I love the countryside, the mountains, the small towns.. they are just so quaint and beautiful. Thank you.

Keep the faith everyone. As fd up as this country is right now, it's still the best and most beautiful place on earth.

What an incredible journey. As a fellow rider I'm envious and respectful for what you have accomplished. I don't know many people who have the courage to do a trip like that on their own, myself included! A trip across country on two wheels is on my bucket list. You're an inspiration thank you for sharing your journey with us.

It was emotional for me as well,.... If you own a bike you to would understand the profound feeling of freedom,... Thanks for sharing this special trip.

This past February I took a trip from the Dallas, TX area up to Kearney, NE, along the Oregon trail to Portland, OR, southern Washington, down through California, to Yosemite, to Death Valley, then Las Vegas, and back to Texas. That trip took me two weeks. About 6,000 miles. I drove my Toyota Tacoma pickup. In order to stay close to the Oregon Trail, I took back roads, including dirt roads. I stopped when I wanted. Did what I wanted. It was refreshing. Soul cleansing. Just me and my camera, most of the time. ..........Now, I've bought me a Triumph Scrambler.

This series made me realise how little of the world I've seen and how claustrophobic my own life is by comparison. I am 18, just passed my first stage of my motorbike license and I hope one day I can do something similar to you. Just wow

Stunning scenery, enjoyed seeing some of ‘small town America’ rather than massive cities. I’m hoping these three videos are a ‘trailer’ for an extended tour of the US! Anyone else interested in such a series? From Cambridge UK

When I watched this video it filled a void in my heart because I always wanted to do this and everyone shut me down telling me it’d be dumb and this and that etc but they just never understood the peace I’m at when it’s just me the bike & the road I’ll be 23 this July and I can’t wait to start my journey this gave me the the extra push I needed thank you
