Hello friends, Welcome to my channel, Tiger Coward moto rides🏍️
This channel will be entirely focused on short video postcards from my motorcycle rides. Just videos, voiceovers, and some great music.
If that's what you're looking for, hit subscribe.
The front of the postcard will showcase the scenery from the saddle of my motorcycle. The voiceovers will narrate the tales of my day on the road. The music will be provided by my friend Billy and his friend, the Devil.
The difference between my channel and a Moto Vlogging channel is that there will be no extraneous jibber-jabber or discussions between my riding mates and me. Just beautiful scenery and stories from my day.
Finally, I ride as an escape from the real world, so there will be no politics, complaints, or judgments on our journey together. Just the view from my saddle on moto camping trips.
So, if you want to join my escape from day-to-day life for about 5 minutes, go ahead, subscribe, and smash the like button.🤘
Haha, Sha-bugger-mo is what I will call it from now on! The roads in Quebec are notoriously bad, and this used to be one of the worst. But they heard I was coming and fixed it! Thanks for watching. Happy Thanksgiving!
Glad you got this sorted out! Sadly this kind of thing happens all the time, 99+% of bans are never done by humans on the other end, just bots/crawlers/apps doing it due to the volumes. These are prone to errors as they are programmed by humans, I know that too well. I have had my FB business account locked twice, both were invalid and quickly reinstated. So don't be shocked if/when it happens again, just appeal it. :)
Thanks, brother. I am not sure there is another way for them to monitor a massive platform without bots. I was taken off guard because I hadn't given it any thought before it happened. With this experience and your advice, feel more confident for next time. I am thankful that this was all resolved in 8 hours.
Wow Tiger Coward, I am so happy that you stuck it through and appealed that decision! I can't imagine if that happened to me, I would be devastated, but I'm so glad that you had the wherewithal to do what needed to be done, to fix the problem at hand instead of wallow in misery (as I'm sure I would've), and now you have your channel back! Fantastic! And it makes for a great story. Keep making incredible content! - Tim and Marisa
Thanks for your support! My channel is just a hobby for me, so the stakes are not the same as they are for others, like you. Nonetheless, it was devastating, but just for a few hours. It must be so hard to manage a platform as immense as RU-vid, and I appreciate how quickly they responded.
I read a tech web article today about this. THOUSANDS of channels were taken down by faulty programming. At least the channel contents weren't deleted. Scooter Tramp Scotty had his taken down and all his content deleted, and he lost All his subscribers too. IMO RU-vid doesn't give enough warning, if there is any warning at all, before deleting all a person's hard work that could span over years. Have you considered another social platform?
Once again, Tiger Coward delivers an epic video of a great motorcycle adventure, always enjoy the watch, keep up the good work, look forward to your next one !
Thanks, Ken. The Western Swing was epic, and I had a tonne of fun! My next series is completely different as we head out on gravel across Northern Quebec and ride the infamous Trans Taiga road. The Trans Taiga changed me. Stay tuned. Thanks again for watching.
Great trip, enjoyed the videos! It was great to meet up at the end of your journey and the beginning of mine. Hopefully we can do it again. I have to pick up one of those t-shirts!
Great review! I'm in the market for a one piece suit and so far the big advantage I see over the Aerostich is the venting, mesh inner lining and the armor. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge & thoughts, extremely helpful!!! If you have any additional longterm takeaways, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for watching! I will be doing an update very soon. I loved the one long zipper on the Version 1. Unfortunately, that suit leaked terribly. To their credit, KLIM replaced the suit with no hassle. Unfortunately, they only stock the V2, which has shorter zippers on each leg. It's not a show stoper for me, but it is a bit more cumbersome to take off, especially when wearing taller adventure boots. Score one for Aerostitch. I have worn the V2 for over 5,000km, and it has been great. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment.
Thank you for such a nice video. I appreciate learning about new destinations close to Southern Ontario. I am just about to binge watch the rest of your trip. All the best from Martin
Thanks for watching Martin! The Upper Peninsula is close to us and is just fantastic. Last fall, I rode in the Adirondacks and it was great. Close to home, great roads and after Labour Day there is no traffic. I should go there more often. The Western Swing trip was brilliant and got better each day. I hope that you enjoy the videos.
Oh wow. I have heard the same from a few people. Obviously, I had a different experience. I loved it and couldn't stop smiling. What has been your favorite road to ride?
Everything is too crowded! That's why I loved this year's rides to South Dakota and northern Quebec. The isolation is amazing! Check out my latest video on the Beartooth Pass. Best road ever and virtually no traffic on our ride. Thanks for watching!
Spectacular views, Dave! Mom and I just watched your latest video here and thoroughly enjoyed it, as usual. We love that you share these experiences that you have with Mike and your other friends. Keep 'em comin'! 🙂
Thanks for watching! This might have been the best day of riding ever! Our Trans Tiaga may have been the best trip ever. That video will be coming soon!
I always ride. Living in Central Ontario means that I have a lot of long commutes to the destinations, but I count that as part of the adventure. I know that lots of people trailer to avoid that commute, which is good for them. I think that people should do what makes them happy. Thanks for watching.
You have someone do your tires, so I see needing them both off. My V-Strom, since I do my own tires, is easy. With the center stand, the rear is off the ground. I change it and put it back on. The front tire, I loosen the pinch bolts, loosen the axle, remove the calipers, pull the axle out and the front lifts and the bike settles on the rear tire. My bike has the tire speed monitors, and you have to remember to remove those before yanking axles. I've been running the Missions on a DL1000XAL8/2018 V-Strom 1000XT. With the stuff I carry, it's about a 600lb motorcycle The front was replaced at 9000 miles (14,400K) because it was scalloping. The rear has 12000 miles (19,200K) on it, and I can see it's only got about 3000 miles (4,800K) left. I do NOT run my tires down to the wear bar. And I have to say the tires mileages were about 70% gravel/dirt and 30% street. On the street, they are almost as good as a Bridgestone Trail Wing. Rain isn't a problem. On dirt and gravel, they are great. They are not so great in deep mud or deep sand. They don't have the voids like a knobbie to sling mud under 8 miles an hour or to dig down through sand. The entire Hampster Ride was on the rear tire I still have on the bike and the replaced front tire.
Yeah, I am happy to pay to have the tires changed and get it done properly. I don't trust myself. Thanks for watching. Btw these tires were great on the Trans Tiaga!
Nice vid of one of the greatest parks. I’ve been to Yellowstone many times, but never on a motorcycle. Now I need to put that on my to do list. Did you happen to ride the Beartooth pass route?
Thanks for watching Wayne! I actually rode the Beartooth Pass the evening that we rode in Yellowstone. That video will be published on Thursday. That was my most amazing ride ever, and it is my most spectacular video. Stay tuned!
Thanks, Ken. I am enjoying my retirement, and I hope that you have as much fun as I am having! I am fortunate to have traveled to some amazing places over the last few years. Thanks for tuning in!
@@tigercoward Yes, though not as much as I'd like. I'm about a month away from a really big hike so most of my free time is going toward training and prep for that. I'd love to travel a bit and do more motocamping. Next year, I guess!
@@SomeBoldAdventure having too many hoobies that you love is a good problem to have. I also ride off-road but haven't this year because I have been traveling so much this year. Nice problem to have.😊
The trip from Baie Comeau to Blanc Sablon was magic. I have heard people call it boring, but I think they are wrong. Baie Comeau to Manic 5 is spectacularly. The ride across Labrador is uniquely beautiful, and I the isolation is refreshing. I highly recommend it! Thanks for tuning in.
The longest stretch is a little over 400km, between Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Port Hope-Simpson. I got gas in Manic 5, Fermont, Labrador City, Churchill Falls, and Happy-Valley Goose Bay. I brought gas, so I used it between Happy-Valley Goose Bay and Port Hope-Simpson. I probably could have made it, but who needs that anxiety. My advice is to take extra. Also, get gas and food when you can. In Churchill Falls, the gas station/store and grocery store all closed at 7:00, and there were no other options. Lab City is the major supply centre and has everything you.
@@tigercoward And what about just between Baie-Comeau and Farnham? Truth is, this is one of two potential plans for when I leave on my 49cc next week. I won't go any further because of limited vacation time and slow moving vehicle. I have about 150km autonomy, so I expect I'll need to bring extra fuel. What's the state of the road? Should I bring a spare tire? Is there any way we can chat outside of these comments? :)
Farnham to Baie Comeau is a well developed area, so there are services everywhere. I can't comment on tires because I ride a 1200 Adventure Bike, so I have no experience with your ride. I didn't take tires with me, nor did my riding mates. Now, the only non-paved sections of the route are north of Manic 5 to Fermont . You can reach me at tigercoward1200@gmail.com.
