Man im watching you old videos 😮

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond Месяц назад

Thanks man! Haha!

@nomoreblahblah 4 месяца назад

I don't think that bear would have caused any trouble. If they come by during the night just bark like a dog. A hound dog! ....Excellent cool video 😎

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much 😅

From mass. Went on a road trip to Saint Louis then soloed to Ocala & back up to bean town, To save money i would hit a truck stop, go to the drivers lounge sit in the corner with ear plugs tip my hat and get some shut eye. The rest is history.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 5 месяцев назад

I’ve done that too lol

@profitininfinitenumbers7189 3 месяца назад

Back in 2014 I stealth camped behind the old abandoned warehouse in Bangor Maine on my US tour On PCX 125 I could hear the planes. I think I was near International airport Got up at 4 o’clock cooked ramen in the dark

LESSON LEARNED. ALWAYS LOOK UP.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

You got that right! ✌️

@Bobby83060 10 месяцев назад

Joe, did you ever think about carrying a hammock for those stealth areas that don't offer the right ground conditions?

@BradSavoie46 10 месяцев назад

I was just going to say I love my screened hammock for tough spots. $25 Amazon 👍

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

I’ve thought about it, but at the end of the day it’s just one more thing to carry

@donjones3192 10 месяцев назад

Outside of Fremont Ohio, Wolf Creek Campground, free camping along the Sandusky River, route 53 between Fremont and Tiffin

@gregorytubbs3444 10 месяцев назад

It doesn't appear to be free anymore. There's a website but I can't post it. My comment gets deleted because of my RU-vid settings.

I got yelled at too when I was trying to stealth camp behind the closed and fenced building In the middle of Bend Oregon 2014 I was going around the country on 2011 Honda PCX 125 There was a gap in the fence just wide enough to clear my side cases I went to the back 2 guys standing there yelling at me got out of there ended up in RV park

I was one of those nuts that would drive to the Italian restaurant in the hills. I lived in Salem at the time. We would use that road to get to VA Tech football games. I've since moved to Richmond but for a change of pace took that road once again after a Hokie game!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

That’s awesome! Yes, business was always good when tech played

@kencraig7308 10 месяцев назад

Sounded like some genuine hillbilly fiddle in there after the Italian restaurant 🎻🤠

It will be easy to find camping spots on my mountain Joe just ride up my dirt road and pick a spot with a nice view

@chrisakaloulou_mozart38 10 месяцев назад

the struggle to find a descent place to camp is part of this damn research for freedom and cheap life. but its so good when at the end you find a place to sleep... cheers buddy

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

Well said. Cheers to you my brother ✌️

@theadventurousrider 9 месяцев назад

I've never good at pinball but i've always enjoyed them and found them internesting. I'm sure all those old places like that seemed to have something going on to help keep business afloat back in the day. Hate it's not really open anymore as i'm sure those walls sure could tell some stories.

@rjonesnm 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking us along. We need all the help we can get. Dios le bediga amigo!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

No hay problema señor!

@skipprice4376 10 месяцев назад

Being from NJ, I wouldn't have thought VA camping would be a problem. Perception can be a funny thing.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Some places will surprise ya. Others are too easy

We just moved back home to Austintown Ohio 3 years ago after living in the Roanoke area for 20 yrs. Used to love the blue ridge parkway. I was in upper management with Eagle Truck Wash chain. That roundabout you where in is right out front of where the Troutville location used to be. There uses to be a Ta truckstop there to but the city forced them out. Anyway I enjoy the vids.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Awesome 😎 thanks bro!

@pureblood2020 10 месяцев назад

That bear was awesome. I carry a Hammock, opens up alot more options. Ride safe!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Right on!

@spacetruckin6555 10 месяцев назад

FunHouse just to the right of The Adams Family was my favorite where I worked as a dishwasher at a local seafood joint in the early nineties. My first regular job at $4.25/hour when I turned 16. They had it at the pinball museum in Las Vegas too. Excellent video as usual Joe!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

That's a great machine!

@sunshineandsmiles9668 10 месяцев назад

Hey Joe we have much in common. Pizza making, riding and videos. Searching for a place not to be found is outlaw behavior. Hahaha thanks for the armchair adventure.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

That is awesome! No problem 😎

@SunDogDeb 9 месяцев назад

I got the biggest laugh when I found this - I've lived in Blacksburg 22 years and was raised in Martinsville and recognized just about every place you traveled! I recognized where you camped and thought of a bunch of other places but then it's easier when you know the area, which was not quite what you were shooting for. Fun video!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@mikehargenrader577 10 месяцев назад

I wish I would have known about the pinball Museum when I passed through Roanoke Virginia. I ended up staying in Jefferson National Forest. Up the hill from Roaring Run Furnace. The bugs ate me alive up there. Thanks, Joe.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Definitely worth a stop!!

@garysbackroadadventures 10 месяцев назад

Loved the Pinball Museum. I'd spend all day in there for sure. Nice tutorial on finding a good spot.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much man! ✌️ sounds good

@joeb4274 9 месяцев назад

Did you check the area across from Lancers (former)? Seems from the road, there could be some possibilities. Daleville? I have lived in NRV for 25 years and knew nothing of the pinball museum! Thanks for that.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

Definitely worth checking out ✌️

@michelevolz7769 10 месяцев назад

Great music!🎻🪗

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes it was

@gregorytubbs3444 10 месяцев назад

I was surprised about the bear. They must have some really hard teeth and a helluva bite to crack walnuts.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

I’d imagine so. Likely sharp as well

@SuperNatblessed 10 месяцев назад

@whitmoresmawley6594 10 месяцев назад

Yes joe im really digging the music great touch...after eating those nuts the bear likely put up and sleep next to you . I sent you couple PM. im thinking about throwing a tent up out back ...thank you ...I've been to blacksburg to pick up a cargo trailer for the company i worked for....peace

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Anytime brother! Thanks

@jodyhodge2129 10 месяцев назад

Debating about giving stealth camping a try. Gonna ride 1,000 miles to TX from SC in a few weeks. Don't want bedbugs and campsites are getting a little too expensive to just sleep on the ground.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Never had bedbugs 🤷🏼‍♂️ then again I use my own mattress lol

@TictacAddict1 6 месяцев назад

I never knew what scabies were until I got them at a "nice" hotel. I sleep in my car on long trips now, and if I have to stay at a hotel ... Permethrin on sheets and pillows.

@ljoelmchanley3676 10 месяцев назад

Always yield to pedestrians and black bears :) If I was looking to stealth camp around Roanoke I think I would look off the Blueridge pkwy.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

That’s not a bad idea 😊

@JacObKoEseR 10 месяцев назад

Hey brother awesome video, can’t wait to see you at forgotten angels in a few weeks.

Ha, you’re missing being out there already. Home life: take the garbage out….take the dog out…cut the grass….hey, can you help me (fill in the blank) Ride safe Joe.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Lmao 🤣 shockingly accurate assessment

@richardvalitalo3670 10 месяцев назад

Made my own pinball machine when I was a kid, even had electric & tilt! Seems like too much riding to find a spot. I just search as I go or ask a local.

@markrawlins2685 10 месяцев назад

Roanoke that’s where my works headquarters is. Everyone call’s it Blue Hills.

@jakesherman2285 9 месяцев назад

Joe, love your work. dont know how to make contact as i am tech challenged. Let me know if your ever around Fort Wayne In. I have woods you can use or a extra place you could rest up for a week.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

Thanks brother! ✌️

@jaymore7116 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the new video. I'll put that pinball museum on the list for the next trip north. Bobby83060 is right, a hammock between thoes 2 trees would have been nice. I will have to show you the one with the mosquito net. Jay p.s. please tell me where to get the bear spray....

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Definitely brother! I bought mine in Montana. You can probably pick it up at most camping stores

@seth3054 10 месяцев назад

Boy you bearly got out of that one spot... your neighbor in the tree might of been a problem lol

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

I’ll remember that!! 😎

@bitameah7745 9 месяцев назад

I can't believe you ended up camping behind the old meat packing plant. That place is a massive bio-hazard. Try looking behind the fire department across the road next time. 😄

@joescott803 10 месяцев назад

If you’re ever in need of a place in Gettysburg pa You can find a spot on the farm I live on

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Right on brother

@bigjoe4020 10 месяцев назад

Can't believe that a bear in a tree :) How many hours in average to you spend looking for a spot to crash ? 30min, 1h, 2h or MORE ???

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Sometimes I find one right away, other times it takes all day 😎

@pd8559 10 месяцев назад

So what do you have with the rotisserie chicken to fill you up? Chicken is a bit dry and find it less satisfying then something with a bit more fat in it like a burger.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

It’s about the cheapest way to eat out here. Around 8 bucks, and it’ll last me all day. Good for you as well

@rustynail9007 10 месяцев назад

Love that museum, those things were works of art, its good to see somewhere trying to save some of those machines. Great tips. I like this, "stealth camping" idea, beats paying for a campsite and listening to ur neibor rail his ugly wife.... lol dont ask how i know😂

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Lmao 🤣 you got that right!

@bencampbell2902 4 месяца назад

@pinball2002 10 месяцев назад

I bet you’re subs would let u camp in there yard if one was close by and you couldn’t find a spot. I would if u are ever near me. Just an idea.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely! I’ve met and stayed with several. But I also like keeping my skills sharp and looking for these types of places

@fa7842 10 месяцев назад

Bears there and so how on the trees?!

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

They’re amazingly agile!

@FL-PHILLIP 4 месяца назад

To me thats way too stressful not knowing where you're going to camp for the night. I'm all for camping but it seem like you can waste too much time finding stealth spots. I guess I'm just too old for that stuff lol

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 4 месяца назад

That was a difficult one. Usually they came along pretty easy

@grimvander 9 месяцев назад

The homeless sure don't have a problem finding camping spots all over the city.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 9 месяцев назад

They're not as picky I guess 🤣

Not too much in the US. All the time in Mexico and Guatemala.

Not sure… maybe next winter

@MrIrapeters 10 месяцев назад

Why do you not just ask a home owner if you can pitch a tent for the night?

@BradSavoie46 10 месяцев назад

They didn't sound too friendly 😁

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

I’ve done it on occasion, while in Mexico. Most in the US are too concerned about privacy

@nicholasadams3902 3 месяца назад

Okay Virginia looks like a bad place to camp because of all the people yelling at you and the white car.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 3 месяца назад

Lol 😂 nah, I just got lucky that day

@thealternativevlog 6 месяцев назад

Loud pipes not good for stealth camping.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 6 месяцев назад

Nope lol

@rogue5643 10 месяцев назад

Joe, I carry a roll of pink surveyer tape to mark camping spots, so I can find them at night also.

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond 10 месяцев назад

Good idea 💡

@rogue5643 10 месяцев назад

@dirtymotorcyclevagond Joe, the next comment is good one also, I carry a hammock as well. Walmart has nylon fish net ones no bigger than a softball. Still here on Alamogordo, NM. dealing with the big C but am trying to get well enough so I can go to Baja for the winter. Good luck and God bless you 🙏.
