I still can't believe you don't have 100/250K Subs or more...The work you've done on the BDR's alone and your own personal journey's....your story telling and cinematography is impeccable. I know Noraly from Itchy Boots has over 1M subs - so we as a community really need to push your Channel...keep up the great content!!!!

6 episodes into Riding Solo 2 it is easy to take the joy coming with each new episode for granted. But just like with any of the previous episodes before I do not want to forget to express my appreciation for your dedication and love that you put into your work. Thank you, Sterling!

@PhilbyFavourites Год назад

I’ve just watched a man pack his belongings in a wonderfully precise manner for a minute and a half. That’s the sort of attention to detail that grabs my interest (and I’m genuinely not being sarcastic). I’ve travelled Highway 395 from Reno to Barstow down the spine of the Sierra Nevadas and it beautiful. I took a lot longer over packing and I was using Motels… Keep up the great work it’s mesmerising content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love the idea of putting the table in the pannier so you can stand up while cooking. Great idea!! Thanks

@CG-pt5oh Год назад

A table is very useful when moto camping. I made one with ram mounts. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F6VL80DIUGI.html).

@davidreed6817 Год назад

I 100% agree with Bill Martin, that road was my idea of motorcycle heaven and your choice of campsite exquisite, together one of the most beautiful places on earth.

@brookmorrison9204 Год назад

Love your videos. At 61 yrs old, I have rode motorcycles most of my adult life. I have camped since I was a teen. But I've never done both at the same time. I guess I spend too much time cleaning and polishing my beautiful Road King classic to put it on a gravel or dirt road LOL. Definitely jealous of your adventures through wonderful locations. Stay safe.

@scotthenderson9281 Год назад

Let me share a tip with you, my friend, when you wake up in the morning and you’re ready to get out of your tent, open the air valve on your mattress while you’re still laying on it, it will let out 95% of the air. So much easier to roll up that way.💯🇺🇸

Sterling I'd seen this video some time ago, and just rewatching it I realized that you and I covered the same highway. Highway 395, and you're so correct about it's beauty. I was in Port Towsend, Wa. this June for my son's wedding. Then from there I made my way to Phoenix. I took 395 out of Reno. Spectacular scenery along 395, and a great road.

@steveswartz7040 Год назад

BTW I've done that a ton of times as you have - do 200 mile loop in the middle of a much longer trips with motorcycle & fast cars Buttler maps have been in my bag from their inception. They Rock!

The drone shots are blowing my mind, so Good! And, I'm also impressed because I'm aware you are piloting two things at once! lol I'm now researching brackets to hold a Monopod to my bike as I also enjoy making videos, and that angle you created is very cool. You said in the beginning " I hope these are entertaining & educational" but you forgot inspirational!!

@NHTesla 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely breathtaking footage capturing the beauty of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains! Having hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2016 and traversed the Sonora Pass, witnessing these scenic views brings back vivid memories and truly resonates with my spirit. There's a unique joy in watching videos that showcase the landscapes I've walked through or been close to. I greatly appreciate your dedication to creating such fantastic content that allows me to relive those moments. Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to more of your captivating videos!

@mattdelcomyn8012 Год назад

Mouthwatering! All of it. And GREAT drone shots too. Your drone seems to do really well following while in pretty tight spaces. Love the concept of staying off the ground. Which is normally pretty tough on a moto trip. But your pole and table are working out WELL! 👍

@SterlingNoren Год назад

Yes, it has become an important component in my filming. It brings another level of perspective to the whole story. I hope that you are still able to use yours too!

@LazyJack2003 Год назад

Great footage, when it comes to the country side and the riding! High quality stuff ! But why do many Moto bloggers seem to think that them preparing a meal is so thrilling?? Beats me.

@SterlingNoren Год назад

I don’t think it’s thrilling at all, but I do think that it’s very meditative and peaceful to do.

@chrismiksovsky5871 Год назад

Hey Sterling - Chris from humangear here. Fantastic footage. As a product designer I can’t help but think (and maybe you’re already on this) but what about using that now ever-more-useful monopod as the high table mount? I’m thinking of some relatively simple cylindrical piece that would go down and around or clamp onto the monopod. Then you bolt the side of the table to that piece, or if necessary there could be some table support members extending off the monopod piece. Alternately, you could add a tensioned piece of cord that is affixed higher up on the monopod and then attaches to the far end of the table to give it more support. The notion of a standing kitchen is a cool one and the monopod seems like the perfect place to try to incorporate that. That high table now also becomes a shelf, too - maybe there’s a small mirror that clamps to the monopod and you could brush your teeth and even shave off it (for all that shaving you do on the road 😂). The “Sterling Uber Pod” tm. Safe travels.

@SterlingNoren Год назад

Thank you Chris, so nice to hear from you again. Yes I agree it would be nice to have some sort of a table solution that could be attached to the mono pod or the pannier. I will think about it some more but I really do enjoy the mono pod and what it has brought to my motorcycle camping experience.

@chrismiksovsky5871 Год назад

@@SterlingNoren Right on. Looks like you're getting a lot of varied use out of that monopod already. Turning it into a shelf/table support could just increase the utility even more. Not sure if you bring a laptop but that could become a standing desk of sorts as well. I think the fixturing is relatively doable with a bit of tinkering - the monopod does most of that work and you've already got that mounted, and this gives you more utility out of the table you're already bringing. Maybe there's even a Touratech product in there somewhere? Anyway, been enjoying these vids. I continue to be struck by the many tiny clips of you driving by on various sections of road and realize that all of those 2 second shots take probably 30+ minutes each to set up, drive back, drive by, check the footage, reshoot 'cause a car drove by, drive back for the camera etc. But it pays off - these are really a cut above other moto travelogues out there (watching 15 minutes of someone's helmet cam just gets a bit tedious, regardless of the scenery). Safe travels and all hail the Sterling Pod!

@cjctucson7683 Год назад

Another great vid. I agree, you deserve more followers. These couple days will be especially great for me. Twice a buddy and I had plans to ride over and back on all 3 passes that go over the Sierras on about a 5 day trip. The first planned trip got cancelled due to the very start of covid. The second one got cancelled due to the heavy clouds of smoke and one pass closure during the year of massive forest fires. The age clocking is ticking, so not sure if I will get to ever do that trip. For now I will sit back and see it through your eyes. Thanks!

Beautiful adventure Sterling, your mono pod and table ideas are great. I'm watching this Video series with great interest as I will be taking a similar route this year, NW from Phx. and then after Oregon heading East to NC and the Atlantic, a sea-to-sea trip on the Vstrom then back home via the southern route to AZ I have 30 days to do the trip. I can't thank you enough for your efforts you put into your video. Thank you.
