Lea! This episode was so good. We were totally gobsmacked when you took the drone over the clouds! Such a stunning sequence. We loved it. And yes, I agree with you about the chattiness of my fellow Americans. My last long ride was from Iowa to Seattle. Almost every gasoline stop resulted in conversations with the local people. To me, that is one of the best parts of these trips.

Lea, I ride my motorcycle (a 2018 Triumph Speedmaster) to Dahlonega nearly every weekend and have made several trips to Suches, Blairsville and Brasstown Bald. I've never heard of Helton Creek Falls before, but I'm going to sit back and enjoy watching you ride through there. I would never have attempted to ride through the dirt road and creeks with my limited riding skills. I commend you on your skills! and watching the drone footage is breathtaking. I love your channel.

The drone shots in the clouds were something special I've never seen on youtube before. Amazing

I moved to Georgia about 7 years ago and absolutely love it here. I take my Harley out almost every weekend and travel up into the mountains.

It’s awesome to see a world traveler do a video from where I grew up. Awesome shots with the drone, I’m really glad you did the water crossings they’re not nearly as scary as they look

I just finished a 6,000 mile road trip up to Oregon following the Oregon Trail, then down the west side of the Sierra's, through Death Valley, Vegas, and back to Texas. I did it in a truck though. After your videos, it makes me want to get back out there, but on a motorcycle.

Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭

Very nice video! There is a town near Blue Ridge named Helen. It is a Bavarian style town even with an October Fest !! I wish you could have seen the views from Brasstown Bald though. You have had an amazing trip. Best!

Nice. Have been camping in Chattahoochee Narional forest near Suches for 35 years. Beautiful area and great riding. Have never been to Helton creek falls, so thanks for the introduction. I will have to ride there.

A wonderful place to ride.

One can’t go very far off-road in GA or TN without meeting water crossings. You did good on such a big bike.

Was not expecting the drone to fly that high lol

It's great seeing this through someone else's eyes. I ride in N.W. Ga and the beauty is breathtaking.

I loved this vlog!!! I Live just outside of Dahlonega and loved that you got to see our beautiful area. .I love living here. I have a Triumph Bonneville and a BMW 1200...and I believe the north GA mountain roads are the best....but I have never ridden in Germany!!!! I love your channel and have enjoyed watching you drive through Asia and the Middle East. Thanks for visiting our area and God Speed my friend...I'll be watching !

And I am one of those chatty Americans, lol. I loved your comments from a European standpoint, I never thought about the differences before. Great video and I look forward to more vids. I even told my hubby about you today! Stay safe.

Brasstown Bald is high enough that it has its own weather. I got stuck up there for like 3 hours because of a thunderstorm. Even then the view is nice. GA52 is a grwat ride too.

Enjoyed the video. Light rain caused Joseph to slow down and actually enjoy the ride more. NECK BRACE : a friend of ours was hit by a car recently (not his fault) and along with other serious injuries has suffered neck damage. Might have been saved this with a neck brace like you wear. He was also only wearing jeans and suffered a lot of leg damage from road slide. He has several surgeries and a long recovery road ahead. ALL THE GEAR ALL THE TIME.

My brother lived in Atlanta for a few years and when we visited we always went to the mountains so your videos brought back memories. Love the interaction with locals.

I can’t believe you were 20 minutes from my house. I wish I was out riding that day to see you. Come back! You can walk up to the top of Brasstown Bald, we did that two weeks ago. With the fog, there is no point to go up. 😥

I loved the drone video you made. I experienced the same weather situation last year (2022) in late October. Couldn't get a view because it was cloudy, windy and raining. But I went all the way to the top of the tower. It was definitely a different but amazing experience. Strong winds with fog like clouds were pouring all over my body... a totally refreshing experience. I was feeling kinda sad for not getting a view and went Helton Creek Falls later and it was a small beautiful fall. Loved it. Going back this year again to Brasstown. Hopefully, I will get a breathtaking view this time.

The USA is so diverse geographically as well as culturally. There’s so much to love about the US. Please come back and spend a lot more time here. I assume you left this T7 in Miami.

How ironic that my husband and I just arrived home from a vacation in NE TN and a small portion of N GA. And saw your video. I love your video, but any video can't show how beautiful that part of the country really is. I had to laugh at your comment about how chatty Americans are , you are correct. I was born in Salzburg Austria and raised EU but also American . We EU are more formal and reserved , keeping more to themselves vs chatting with a perfect stranger. Americans tend to also give more information on themselves to perfect strangers then is required on a first meeting , if you noticed. Being of both EU and American , I can do both 😂 Happy trails I will keep watching, I tend to watch travel videos of all kinds, traveled myself in a much different manner then you and bike. And can't get enough of travel so when I am not traveling myself I watch others ,I take notes and maybe I too will visit if I have not. Happy riding and traveling , every country has its own remarkable beauty. Happy safe travels. 🚲🌍
