That's the best way to ride, no special plan just ride and see what you find. Looked like a really nice spot👍

This channel is just severely under rated

Thanks for saying that!

I live in western Kansas; not the most scenic place to ride but I gotta say... I love it just because I get to ride it. I experience it in ways that very seldom people do. They are missing out. Sometimes the best rides are unplanned; just throw a leg over and ride, no Google maps, no plan. "The best roads of all, are the ones that aren't certain."

I owned motorcycles in the past. Your channel is making me long for one again. Those "nothing to do, nowhere to go" rides are the best. Just having fun, just enjoying it. Man oh man, stirs things up.

Go get at it, get that bike. You won't be on your death bed saying, "I rode my motorcycle too much".

I love positive chill motorcycle videos like this, they make me want to ride more then any other kinds of

Riding is simply just pure happiness!

Smells.. I like the intensity of smells when riding.. Especially in fresh cold spring mornings, sun shining but cold, when pass next to blossoming tree... When it hits... Love riding, love life. ❤

There's nothing like a fresh cold spring morning. Also, right after a rain shower. And. I have an odd one. I LOVE the smell of laundry when a dryer is running...

Another wonderful video, bug. Anything else I could say would be superfluous. The meaningful stuff, the insightful stuff, was already said by you and by your images. Bravo!

You're too, too kind, sir! 😉

I just stumbled onto your channel. Beautiful filming, subtle music and the perfect narrative. Motorcycles ridden like this are the perfect way to decompress from the stresses going on in our lives. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Couldn't agree more with the theme here. It's just about starting to feel like Spring here in Ireland and although it's been wet, it's mild. As I rode yesterday (it was dry ) and thouugt about other friends who escape to Spain at this time of the year , I realised I couldn't be happier than just riding my bike.

The video is like The Eagles song "Peaceful Easy Feeling."

Amazing, sir. That is it. That is exactly what I ride for. A perfect day. I guess it's not ALL I ride for. Taking the bike can transform a grind down the freeway on an errand into an adventure.

Man I can’t wait for season to start. Thanks bud. Good job

You are a gifted story teller. Thanks for the Zen Zone!

Thank you!

Watching your video cruising on the T120 truly brings a smile to my face, especially from my snowy vantage point here in Sweden. I've still got about a month to go before I can even think about taking my own bike out. Your videos have not only been a joy to watch but have also cemented my decision to fulfill my dream of owning a Bonneville T120 myself. I’m 55 this year and it’s time to stop making excuses and get my dream bike. I will go to the dealership this week and place an order! Your passion for riding is contagious, and I can't wait for the season to start here. Keep sharing these wonderful videos. They are a great inspiration for those of us counting down the days until we can hit the road again. Cheers from a soon-to-be fellow T120 rider!

Me too, I live just outside of Llangollen up a little mountain. So many fantastic cycle and motorcycle roads and routes when the weather allows. Snowdonia, Llangollen, Flintshire, Denbigh and the coast all within half an hour to an hour on the motorbike away. Spoilt ❤ just need it to stop raining to be able to get out and enjoy.

such a classy ride, looks stunning~

Nice relaxed pace to your videos Bug, especially for isolated people or those with stressful lives it’s important to get out and ride, riding is a form of meditation and the motorcycling community is always at hand with friendly camaraderie wherever we go 👍 I’m usually stressed out by my work but hitting the road on any one of my bikes has that stress melt away within minutes, just heading out and getting lost in the countryside is the way to go 👍

Fantastic video... turn that satnav off and phone and just get lost.... i agree you dont have to go far to see lovely places

Enjoyed the video. I did get a little sad looking out the window at the snow coming down. Still, it won't be long. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, just found your channel…loved this vid, and in particular, your previous vid, Ride While you still can….never truer words…I had a scare a few years back and didn’t know if I’d be able to ride again….that was the most difficult thing about it all…fortunately, and with a year of recovery and good docs and medication, I could ride again, taking it slow, one ride at a time…I’d never been more grateful or appreciative of getting on my motorcycle EVER, …all the best, from Andy, in Wales in the UK…always loved Wales, the riding is spectacular, and I’m lucky to have moved here 1 year ago…Cheers, Andy

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. 👍👍

In the noughties I had a very stressful job in quite a hostile environment mostly 6 days a week and between 10 and 14 hours a day, the only thing that kept me sane was the 20 mile ride to and from work. This was commuting into London or its environs, you had to concentrate 100% all the time because everyone else was trying to hurt or even kill you. The fact of having to concentrate so hard meant that all the issues arising or about to fall on you had to be put out of your mind. Doing something where you felt competent and where you could predict (most times) the outcome lead to being able to switch off from work when I got home and to an inner peace.

I just found your channel, and I love it! I am curious, how do you keep your audio so perfect, without wind noise? Are you using a microphone inside your helmet or add audio later?

@BugMotoChannel

5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I use two different ways. The first way, I take my DJI Mic 2 and tuck it under my chin, magneted to the chin wind guard thing on my Shoei. Or, like I did in this one, I run a lav mic into the helmet, right next to my cheek, and plug that into the DJI Mic 2. The first method is really easy, the second is not as easy, but still pretty simple, and I think it gives the audio a bit more depth.

Other times, like in this video, I run a wired lav into my helmet, right next to my cheek, and plug that into the DJI Mic 2. I like that sound a bit better, but just depends on my mood...

This is east-ish of Portland, Oregon (I said south in the video description but I was incorrect) near a little town called Cottrell, roughly near Oxbow Regional Park.
