I also love that your not afraid to tackle dirt and gravel roads. Hubby and I will try such roads. We have a 2 wheeler and a trike. Hubby doesn't like the dirt but it gives him something to do when we stop. Lol.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that. I noted the bear spray, so Installment 2 of my bear encounter. When I stopped in that New Brunswick forest, a young lady had set up her tent nearby and advised me not to have any food in my tent as last year she had camped there and a BEAR! had come into her tent to eat her sugar ! When I asked "What did you do !?", she replied, "I let it eat my sugar l". Wise words indeed. Feedback. Excellent production values and you must go through a LOT of cameras, leaving so many behind when you set off. Also, smart move taking the Mrs. to Bear/Manburger Country. Should a bear situation arise, get her to run off screaming (stage left) pursued by the bear. This will solve TWO problems, and if no bear appears, and you run out of provisions, you will always have something to eat. Give Chris my regards. A Bloke. .
Since I started following the beginning of this journey, including the preparation, I find it so AMAZING the way you two decided to enjoy life at the fullest, so inspiring for so many people out there, including me!! Well done, you're awesome!! Safe ride and stay safe too!!
I can’t believe you didn’t bring heated gear. I am still riding in January in MA but I really need my heated gear. Gloves and jacket are the best to purchase first. Love your videos thank you so much.
Enjoying the adventure! Really feels like we are with y’all! Highly Appreciate the sharing of your Life Adventures! Ride Safe! We have also woke up to freezing frost on our Bike windshields ! Gotta Love it, It’s all about enjoying God’s great earth! Peace ✌️
Nothing rides like a RoadGlide. Absolutely Gorgeous country, thank you for sharing the video. To Ride The Rockies has always been a dream of mine. LoveLoveLove !
East Texans don't understand mountain travel. Glad you brought the liner. My first tour, my buddy also a Texan, said take your cold weather riding gear. It's cold in the mountains in AUGUST! That month in Texas is hot as hell.
I am new to your channel, new to motorcycling as well. With covid-19 I have not upgrade to a full m class, I am that new! Lol. Was turned on to your channel by Amanda Zito of as the magpie files. So happy to come along with you guys. Hello from Northern Ontario Canada.
My Wife and I really enjoy your videos and information keep up the good work. It is great entertainment for Us and like You Guys, We are preparing to do the same as You Guys soon. Like Your CCA hoody too!
Saludos desde Argentina Mendoza Felicitaciones como me alegro que una Pareja les gusta el Camping acá en Argentina No Te dejan Mover y nos Caemos lo mismo en el Covib 19 Disfruten 🍺🍺🇦🇷👍👏👏👏
excellent! I was in SouthFork CO the second week in July this year so I may have just missed you guys. That little pizza place and taproom there was awesome though! We came out from Missouri on Hwy 160 all the way. We continued on to Durango and then took the Million Dollar Hwy up thru Silverton, Ouray, and Montrose. We stayed the night in Silverton and the temperature drop was a big shock to me as well.
Meet you guys when watching As the Magpie Flies..Some great country I also own a BMW K1200GT from Australia ,wish you all the best to you both on your travels
OMG y’all are making me want to be back on the road again! Love love love Colorado. Y’all are eating good - always looks very yummy. Y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming - enjoying them all.
What a great video! This scenery reminds me a lot of British Columbia where we just recently moved to from Ontario. Once we're a little more settled in I plan on a few motorcycle adventures myself.
Looks like your settling in know. Hopefully no $100 harley fixes after your lid problem. LOL. Have fun ! Ps: Good idea on the bear spray , and works well on pesky humans too. 😎👍
@@TwoWheelsBigLife There's certainly enough of you, Richard. I know your svelte shape will aid the bike's aerodynamics, but how did you manage a catch like Chris ? There IS something teddy bearish about you. I think she has that spray is for you. .
Yes, your GW can do those gravel roads. 1975 GW did ok, my 2008 GW did them ok and now my "21 GW DCT also does them just fine. It's technique that get's you through. Read about it, watch videos and practice! 1. Stop looking straight down, turn your head with eyes looking where you want to go. 2. Maintain speed or slightly increase speed/ momentum. 3. DO NOT use heavy or tight pressure on your bars/grips; you do, you go down! This might not be the best explanation but use it as a starting point. Good Rides ( The wrecker; at the first sign of slowing, slightly increase the throttle -----slightly. DO NOT clamp down or muscle the front end when you feel resistance, relax your hands (even perhaps use only a couple of fingers) and mind a soft touch for control. The tires are trying to maintain their gyroscopic balance capability. Your job is to NOT get in the way; slowing or heavy gripping is " getting in the way" ! When you feel the first hint of resistance, that is your wake up that you are not using your technique properly. When you heavy grip it YOU are causing the front end to dig-in stronger and/or deeper, thus instability will increase. We all know what happens next.) GOOD LUCK
I was wondering what hitch you have bolted up to your harley? I'm going to start pulling a trailer with mine next year. You seem to pull a lot of weight and its holding up. Thanks in advance Jeramie
There’s a simple formula for adding feet of elevation to degrees of latitude to figure chill factors. Sure wished I knew whatnit was. The guy who ate those fellows was prosecuted. The judge said, “There were only seven democrats in the county - and YOU ate five of’em!” Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Thanks - no we are not retired. Right now just living on a small savings. Might have to do workamping long enough to earn some money to continue doing it more. Don't want to give up now.
