Cheers!! Thank You for the kind words

I'm glad to see you back on two wheels. I've missed your adventures and how well you describe them. Bravo....

Sure have missed Chris’ infectious laugh.

I live on the Olympic Peninsula. Every summer it's road work. Every winter it's landslides, sinking asphalt and flooding rivers in the spring. Campgrounds on the peninsula are booked up a year in advance. Us locals grab our tents, throw our E bikes in the 4x4 and head off on the National forestry roads. We may sleep in our vehicle or tent because the forest service roads are not RV friendly. We mostly avoid the National Park entrances because of the wait times. There are several roads accessing parts of the Olympic National Park that are unmanned and open to the public with no lines. There are rainforests in the National forest, places where you can be alone. We use our park road maps and quadrangle maps to explore. Our E Bikes are great tools to check out sketchy forest roads. Washington Dept of transportation has maps showing where all the roadwork is occurring.

We are sooo glad y’all are back!! Thank you, Rich and Chris!!

My pet peeve is waiting in lines. I do not want to do that. Thanks for always showing us the good and bad. One of my favorite channels

Wow, what a nice surprise to see you guys put out a new (to us) video. 👍🏽

That road looked pretty much the same 5 years ago when I was riding on it as far as the traffic stops for construction

All the laughter made this video enjoyable. Making lemonade out of a lemon of a day. Thanks for sharing, that was fun. Jayman...

If you have reservations and that’s your destination then it’s worth it. But if you’re planning on making it a day trip then you have to factor the wait time. This is true with all the big popular parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone.

So much more patience than I have!!

Those are totally normal traffic situations over here in old northern Germany / Europe 😂 Glad you’re back again Best wishes to both of you ☘️🙋‍♂️

Glad to see you guys back on KZread , I enjoyed watching your videos !

We attempted that same ride on a Street Glide in July 2023. Yes, you would definitely be better off with a dirt bike, or 4X4. Both road were in the same condition. Lol. We made it to the visitor's gate at the Ho Rain Forrest where they said it was at least a 1hours wait. Since it was already late in the day we left. Great video. 😊

I was stationed at Ft. Lewis from '76 to '78 and explored all over the area. There were far less people and cars on the road back then.

Thank you for the video. I really enjoy tagging along on your adventures! They are always entertaining and informative. What kind of portable tire inflator is that? I love that you can check the pressure without taking it off of the valve.

You 2 are my favorite U Tubers😊

You guys have such fun videos. Love these!

Yeah I ALWAYS forget to account for road works on my travels. So when the GPS tells me its 6 hours to my destination I never think that it could be a LOT longer then that. I recall one year I lost count on how many roadworks I encountered but it was super painful and obviously not very enjoyable over almost 2000km. There are websites that tell you where the roadworks are BUT every trip I take I always forget to look at that :)

Next time you two are in the Olympics give me a call! We live South of the park in Aberdeen, Washington. 👍😀

Give me all have a camper. I sure enjoy your videos y’all are a Blessing

Glad to see you two again.

So happy that you guys are back traveling and taking us with you. Love your videos.

Glad Chris can laugh cause I always say I would rather laugh than cry. I live vicariously through you guys. I really need a smaller bike so I could continue to ride some at least.

I want to say thank you for all the info you put out!! Two years ago you did a segment in Texarkana about boondockers welcome. We are not full time but the Boondockers welcome has be come one of our favorite ways to travel. We have be come host in south central Illinois. We have also stay at Candy Cane Corral and have become very good friends with Perry and Jan and Georgia. Thank you. We have made amazing new friends both on the road and at home thanks to you. I didn’t realize you had take a brake but I have missed both of you. Ron

I’m glad to see the videos you guys did in 22 and I’m sorry you had a bad experience in the Olympic Peninsula. Being a local the Ho Rain forest is a great place if you’ve never been but, just getting to the entrance is a massive pain. We do the 101 about every other year and vow to never do it again south of Forks because of the road repair. But, we do and then fuss about it for a year. Have fun, ride safe and enjoy the Arkansas hills.

Rich and Chris, it's nice to add your you tube video to our Sunday evening watch list again. Plus you're showing your ride through the area we lived and worked in for twenty years. I've ridden many of the roads you've shown many times on my bike. If you would have asked anyone local they'd probably tell you the avoid that Quinault loop. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

Chip and seal is ok, last August my son and I were in the Four Corners head to Durango. We sit in traffic for an hour and finally got to go. Road work was down to one lane for 8 miles. To make it worst the cut the asphalt up down to the dirt and loose gravel. You couldn’t have drove a ten penny nail up my backside. We both were all over the place. Plus about half way across it came a blowing dust storm. It was the worst 8 miles of our 6,000 mile ride. I was so glad to get to the mountains that afternoon.

Thanks for the video 👍👍

I'm very happy to find your video this morning. I was just wondering if you were still making these great videos, and here you are. Hopefully, we'll meet again in No. Ga, when the weather warms up again soon. Great episode. I'd say some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. SCHWEET!!!

Good to see y'all, it has been a while since I saw you on the road. Missed you.

Pretty place.

I think you can buy TPSs to screw onto valve stems, so no need to have them "on the bike" if you're willing to bust out an app on your phone. But on bikes like the tiger where you can reach the valve stems without becoming a contortionist, it's bound to be quicker, cheaper, and more reliable to carry a quality tire pressure gauge. Just check at regular intervals like weekly or every 500 miles or something. And anytime after a bike sits a while before going. Keep in mind that pressure will vary with temperature, so when getting all anal about setting an exact number, it's gonna be off as soon as the temperature changes a few degrees.

Some days are like that but even that was better than sitting at a desk somewhere you hate

Dealing with the rear valve stem on a touring Harley. I feel your pain!

It's the timing, I guess. When my son and I hiked in and wild camped on one of the hoh forks, there was barely a soul to be seen along the entire peninsula perimeter road. It was in good shape, no construction... Didn't see any hikers in the woods, either.

Been to Hoh early in the morning. Never had any problem with lines. That was in august and the middle of the week.

Tent. Miss Alice. Talk of BMW TPMS.??? How old is this video? Enjoying it anyway, thanks guys.

I live on the Olympic Peninsula! I hate to break it to ya, but they are not going to bury that "debris" or cover it with road....for one, you don't build over buried logs, they will rot and then create sinkholes....It will stay like that strictly to divert the water!

Wow, the Lazarus' return!!! Wa-hoo!!!

Helmet hair Chris! We all have it.

When I travel in the summer, I try to go on Wednesdays. You still have the construction, but the lines seem shorter.

On the bright side it didn’t start raining on you. 😂. I hate those one lane ahead delays. NP entrance back ups ugh!!! Yellowstone coming off Beartooth Hwy. Aweful. Had no other choice we were committed. Didn’t get to our destination Missoula, MT till 11:30 pm. All because we wanted to ride Beartooth Hwy one more time. Still enjoyed your video. 😊❤

Chris looks just fine no worrys.

I carry brass 90° extensions for my darkside rear tire on my gl1800. I carry the same pump dyna plug kit. If you need air it’s easier to screw these on and take them off
