I secure My Royal Enfield with the Monimoto smart tracker for motorcycles. No wiring, just hide it on your bike, throw it in your saddlebags, computer bag, or anything you don’t want to lose, Monimoto will track it with or without a GPS signal. If you use my referral link it will help put a little gas in my tank. Thank you!

If you are like me, struggling with RU-vid and getting views, use this link for TubeBuddy. It will help you and also put a little gas in my tank. Thank You!
My neck of the woods, but I’ve never ventured up there. They still sell the bumper stickers, This car (bike) climbed Mt Washington? Don’t see them nearly as much as I used to. Might give it a go one of these days.
Ah, you make me want to take this down and put up an edit with my sticker. I don't put stickers on my bike so it's sitting in my bag, and now I'm kicking myself for not putting that in the video. DARN! Thank you for watching and the comment getting me to look at my, "THIS BIKE CLIMBED MT. WASHINGTON" sticker. DARN!
The whole time watching I was expecting that to be the last shot lol. I bought a KLR years ago that had one on the swingarm and I took it off so people wouldn’t think I had done it.
Hey Roger! Wow...NH is gorgeous. That ride was beautifully scenic, yet harrowing. Those drop-offs made my palms sweaty! LoL Thanks for taking us along for the ride my friend!
That was such a hard video to make because I didn't want to cut any of the 3 hours out. My goal is to keep videos under 18 minutes. I Failed! Thanks for watching and always love the comment.
I am so happy to see a comment from you! Meeting you was the highlight of my ride that day. Made it to Alpine Garden Camping Village & Winery. I think you really would enjoy it here. Tell Bree the old homeless motorcycle guy sent you. I subscribed so now that you have a following I am looking forward to seeing videos of you two on that beautiful trike. I made it up AND back down to MT Washington yesterday. It was not as bad as I made it out to be in my head. It really was such a blessing meeting you yesterday. Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much for the comment! Guarding the border making sure no one was sneaking across was a tough job, but someone had to do it. Want to be in a motel for IFT5
WOW, you watched that already. Thank you. Yes, it was loud across the river and echoed in the woods. Just got it up, 4:30AM here and I'm going to bed now. Thanks for the comment.
Love it. Once sexy bike for sure - amazing how much stuff you can haul on these Interceptors. I tend to seek out the small rallies with just a few people camping out. Shooting the breeze, etc. I see you like being pragmatic out with your meals, just letting it sit longer 😆 Enjoy, mate!
Normally I just rip open a tuna pouch or pop the top off a Beefaroni but my cousin did not care for these so he gave me two. Thanks for the view. (couldn't resist the rhyme this time)
Hahaha, never thought of it that way. Thanks for giving me a different slant on my blessings. In a motel for a week in NH waiting to see a buddy from my teen years when someone thought it was a bright idea to give teenagers airplanes to fly, under bridges, just over golfers, and dog fight. At least we both lived to be grayer and bigger round🤣 Glad you enjoyed that trip. It was right after Mom's service. I rode along the Erie Canal. Beautiful! Then up to Thousand Islands where my Dad flew me in his plane. I got a site with no electric, no wifi, no cell service, and made myself do nothing for 2 days. That was harder than I thought it would be, but I needed that time to reset. I didn't see one Canadian trying to sneak across.
Oh thank you so much for this comment. That was shortly after Mom's service in Rochester NY and it was a very soulful time to reflect and reset. In Lebanon NH this week. Love Ya!
Thanks for watching. Always look forward to your comments. I forced myself to do nothing there for 2 days there. No cell signal, no wifi, no electric. It was a good reset. Still heading toward a move?
This hit hard. It's EXACTLY what I want to do. I'm 65, have posted about 24k miles in the past 2 yrs but want to do it full time. Just can't figure out the financials. What did this cost you? I keep telling myself 'It's not the cost, it's the value' but there are also responsibilities to be met. Love what you've done!
WOW, thank you for this amazing comment. I receive about $4,300/ month SS and retirement and that's about what I spend. Use a little less than that probably cause the left overs I buy TSLA shares. That's feeding and clothing the bike and me. Varies from free camping, to this week in Thousand Islands $26/ night, I use KOAs a lot, Rochester NY last week $920 for 11 days in a Kabin, last winter weekly motel $360. I don't to this to prove how manly I am, I want to be comfortable. Many weeks on a friend's couch I buy the food. Favorite restaurant Denny's & Dollar General, ha. I find just stopping in a grocery store and eating in the parking lot cheaper & Healthier. (don't tell anyone I used the H word) Very jealous of your videos. You pick good music. I'm doing Thousand Islands this week then? Then maybe Lake Placid??? I recently did a video, 36 Months On The Road, it may give you an idea of how I live. Camping at Rocket Ranch was $500/mo.
When you overhauled the forks did you use a 10wgt fork oil? Would be a great time to put progressive springs in or a YSS kit.The RE fork oil isn't very good & super thin & a 10wgt replacement fork oil is way better.
I love your country back roads footage set to soothing guitar music. I could almost feel the wind blowing through my hair. Safe travels Roger and thanks for sharing.
Thank you as always for watching and especially this comment. I will pass it along to Tim who did the editing. He did the music. I'm not good at picking music. I too enjoyed his music. I hope you go down the description and check out his channel. He's in Phoenix so I'm sure you'll like what he does. Please tell him you like his editing on this and that I sent you his way. Best to you always.
@@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield Hey Roger...hope you're having beautiful weather wherever you are! My thumbnail picture is from the new testament story about the woman that touched the hem of Yahshua's (Jesus') garment and was healed. I did a study on the interpretation of the Hebrew meaning and it was powerful.
@@GGAZ2012 WOW, you are amazing. In West Lebanon NH now. See last video. From the video I Just Now finished cleaning the right side and packing. Ready to get back in my tent. Tomorrow hopefully riding to Alpine Village Campground & Winery in Bartlett NH. If there's good weather I want to ride up to Mt Washington. The weather can be crazy up there. Two years ago the weather didn't cooperate.
Oh! So nice seeing a comment from you. Yes, flood of memories. I'm betting you're back on the deck on the bay. One of my favorite memories. That and the churches lobster rolls. I'm in nothern PA. Maybe Bradford KOA tonight. Probably won't travel tomorrow due to rain.
You made my day!!! Thanks for the comment. I'm in Austinburg OH enroute to Rochester NY for my Mom's service and family reunion. Right now trying to get a new rear tire. Yesterday's stuffed crust pizza in the microwave. Now hearing from you. Life is GOOD!
Yeah, the wind pulled the dust off the recently planted farm fields and brought the visibility to zero on the interstate highway. Thanks for the watch and comment. I tried something new having Tim from "FTA Adventures" channel edit a day of riding. Willow City Loop, may be the name of the video? In a motel for 3 days of cold wet weather so should have that up soon. Looking for your comment on that vs my usual style.
@@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield OK MAMRE. Sounds like a bit of a luxury having other people do it for you. I should try that ! 🤔 I shall look forward to it ! Cheers Roger, Garry & Ruby
Funnily enough, I did recall you saying something about wanting to explore the country when you set off, back in the day 😂 Then you started nerding out on space stuff and I wondered if you were ever going to continue on your quest 😝 Well, after making some great friends and great memories, it looks as though the adventure is finally about to continue. Safe travels Roger 👍🏻 Garry & Ruby
Friend, thank you for that comment. Reinforced that I am going in the right direction, which is forward, haha. I have a friend who has been in many places in the USA on motorcycles, cars, such great adventures. While all this was going on in my head we were communicating, and she showed me the USA map she keeps so she never goes to the same place twice. Now her travels take her international with the same thought process in mind, to not visit the same area twice because there is so much to see and so little time to see it all. She's amazing!!! See my "36 Months On The Road" video @5:13 to see her. Again thank you for this comment, it will help to keep me going forward and not Back to the same places.
@@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield Hi MAMRE. Well, I think that we Europeans, those of us who have never made it to the States, will enjoy seeing the country through your eyes. I've no idea what to expect and that is the exciting part. Have a safe onward journey buddy and share when you can ! Garry
Hey this Alvin I met you at the Indpls Royal Enfield... I really enjoyed your traveling stories and all the insight you gave me about Royal Enfield Motorcycles,
I have been looking forward to a comment from you. Thank you for adding a rich flavor to my day. Please don't forget to send me a picture of your Royal Enfield. Better yet do a walk around video so you can share it with everyone interested in Royal Enfields 😃
Hey thank you for watching and especially the comment. I love the people I met on the road. I was at the Indianapolis IN Royal Enfield dealer, Speed City Cycle, today buying a new Touring Seat. Seems about every 15,000 miles my butt has a serious conversation with me telling me it's time for a new seat and I pay attention 🤔 On my way to Rochester NY. My INT650 has 46,300 miles on it today. Still going strong.
Yes it was. In Indianapolis now. On the way my butt had a discussion with me telling me it was time for a new seat. Today went to the local Royal Enfield dealer and bought a new Touring Seat. Now at 46,300 miles. On my way to Rochester NY for Mom's service June 8th.
Hey pal! Thanks for the comment. My butt told me I need a new seat so today was at the Indianapolis Royal Enfield dealer, Speed City Cycle, and got a new Touring Seat. There were a couple Hunters there and so I was thinking of you. 46,300 miles on My Royal Enfield today.
I live just below the 40° South Parrallel known as the roaring 40's & winds can get over 130kmh.They Never shut the roads because of wind.It's plains as well so in town can be breezy but out on plains blowing a gale.I live in countryside & have to ride across the plains to get home & been pretty hairy sometimes. I find accelerating through the wind gusts helps to punch through as we say & counter steering & brace when trucks go past.Caravans & R.V get blown over occasionally.I try my best to avoid the wind but occasionally leave in morning & come home late afternoon & wind picked up.
Yes my friend. I smile every time I see your thumbnail because my beard never makes it that far. When it starts waking me up at night it gets chopped down to size and starts over. How long have you had yours? I quit my job August 31, 2019 and that's the last time I've taken a sharp implement to my baby face.
