If you'd like to support my channel and help me make more videos, you can purchase my eBook: Short Stories from the Long Road: A collection of short stories inspired by the motorcycle and adventures on the road @ ironhardt.com/store/p/sslr
Join me on my dirt and pavement solo motorcycle adventure, filmed on 3 cameras, and riding 500 miles on my motorcycle to travel from Seattle to Forks, WA, on a journey around the Olympic Peninsula (U.S. 101) in Washington's Olympic National Park. The beginning of the trip was a bit rainy, but made for some beautiful dirt road rides around Lake Cushman. I camped in the Hoh rainforest, where the temperatures dropped to around 35 Fahrenheit, but fortunately the Vstrom had heated grips.
Bike Review: The Suzuki V-Strom 650 sport touring motorcycle that I rented from Rider's Share was an absolute tank, handling the mud and potholes with ease - great for long motorcycle traveling. Plenty of logging roads to get off the beaten path and lost in nature.
Name of Film: The Trees, the Wind, & the Birds
Philosophical topic explored: Solitude

Oh Boy!!! I just watched all 3 vids you have and these are amazing.... really glad to have found these vids, you really touch the hearts of bikers with your talk, wish there were more videos like this where people talk their hearts out instead of the typical vlogger stuff.... great work :) :) :)

You're like Jesus Christ of motorcycling. I came across your channel two days before returning to motorcycling , after being four years without riding. You can't imagine how much your thoughts and words have inspired me. Thank you for your videos.

V-Strom owner and new subscriber from Corvallis, OR. Perhaps more than any other video I've seen, yours explains the joy of solo touring and the special symbiosis that can develop between man and machine on such journeys. I especially appreciate your philosophical musings on solitude. Amazing content, and I hope you'll keep these videos coming.

Thanks Chris - appreciate the note. I have a few more videos in the works currently (philosophical reflections included...) that should be released in the next few months. I rented the V-Strom for my trip in Washington, but recall it being a reliable workhorse on and off the pavement - a Swiss army knife of sorts.

GREAT vid in content, quality and editing. You should have a million views. One of my 3 bikes (and my favorite) is a 2017 Vstrom 650XT. The contemplative nature of your narration and your voice blend well - and make me nostalgic for a ride, as I sit in my SW Colorado home under 7 inches of new snow and -2 degrees F this morning! Keep making vids like this, please! (One suggestion: slightly less background volume so I can hear your narration better.) - Ray (glad new subscriber!)

Hello chris, I am 18 seconds into your video and I recognize the road your on, that is Lake Cushman on your left and the last time I rode there I got so close to wrecking when the pavement ended. Any ways thank you for the video on filling up my Motorcycle battery, that is how I found this one, thumbs up on both.

Epic shot after epic shot! Loved this video, and you have instilled Washington as a must ride destination into my brain. The shots of the elk were amazing. In your campsite!! Wow. The isolation of the pandemic definitely took my motorcycling to the next level. Riding in the Catskills was my oasis this summer. Yes, you nailed it - its about connection to the world. For a philosophic discussion of that I suggest - This Motorcycle Life, Episode 32, The Skillful Monk.

Hi, great content Chris, I started filming parts of my journeys on my very first big trips in the US after buying my very first bike in Montreal during my internship over there. I didn't really know what I was doing doing (still don't), so my footage was terrible but there was not much more I could do with lack of skill and my GoPro Hero 3+, back then. I improved things a lot during my year in New Zealand, but I am nowhere near what you do, seeing this makes me want to get better at capturing my next trips probably around Europe this summer. Thanks for your work.

Loved the script on your videos. Your framing on all the bike passing shots are also nicely composed. You mentioned you use 3 cameras to film, which are they? A drone, an action cam and a main camera, i hope you are not gonna answer that way..haha..but if you can indulge me...please. New subscriber here.

Continue with the content man!, Love your vids, seriously awesome filming and narration... and of course riding. I am up in Vancouver... we should meetup and ride sometime. I am curious, what kind of locating device do you use when you travel alone? I am always worried about going down and getting hurt or stuck under the bike and want something to be able to "press in case of emergency".

you capture my passions motorcycles and nature. I attended Unity College in Maine studying environmental education. Had a love of motorcycles when I started there and still do. It is a means to get me to natural places taking in all around me at the same time. In other videos you mention going to college in Maine. Where did you go?

Beautiful scenery. Speaking of that, what has happened to motorcycles? They used to be beautiful. Works of art that celebrated their mechanicalness. Now they look like giant bugs with alien eyes. All covered in Tupperware and blacked out engines as if they were ashamed of how they look. I know they function much better but they look awful.
