Some notes!
1. Yes, I say "Um" a lot, I know its annoying XD I traveled from around the tristate area to the nebraska border in omahain this video
2.These early episodes, mainly WI to CO, wont be too-too filled with much other than random scenery shots. I did 14 hours of riding my first day, taking backroads to eastern nebraska, and the next shot was another 14 hour ride through nebraska and eastern colorado. Due to me primarily just.. riding, not much commentary was to be had. that being said, things get a bit more exciting once i reach colorado!.
3. The main modifications on my bike are:
the upgraded sprocket system, to increase speed
LED dash cluster
Shinko goldenboy tires
mikuni carb, jetted for 700 feet elevation (no, I didnt rejet it despite going high elevation)
a more direct charging port (that red button on the left fender)
and thats about it that i can recall
I ran regular fuel the whole time, not high octane, "premium" fuel. I had no issues related to the fuel.
Ill dont own any of the songs, but if you hear one you like, ill be happy to tell you its name!

Fascinating to see so many smaller towns and villages. An honest slice of America. Little communities where the people appear to take civic pride. Good timing on that one gas stop. Did you make those cycling boots ? I noticed them as you got back on your bike. Look super flexible and comfortable but also protective for riding that gravely road. Enjoying so far !

exactly! most of them were at least fairly pretty; not many were run down or ugly or anything! Best part is too, that the scenery only gets better from here! i did not make these boots, they are the oseberg boots by grimfrost. !As much as i love going barefoot, having some form of foot protection is good on motorcycles, and also i need them to go into stores and stuff, so naturally wearing them makes sense for transport when the space is so limited XD. they are super flexible though! fairly thick oil tanned leather thats very pliable, so its not so much like wearing shoes as it is throwing an extra layer of skin over yourown =).

XD its certainly a bit scary the first time, but you grow to trust it after a while =) just make sure to change your bearings if your bike is over like 7000k miles beforehand and youll prolly be fine!

Me speaking more, and it being a bit more "vloggy" is coming up more so once I reach Colorado. These first two videos were mainly just me booking it to nebraska before dark, so i didnt really have much to report on.

​@@garvit6703 ye, you are correct! thankfully for me, im not all that worried if people wanna watch; im not making videos to become rich, i just think its fun and to prove to people that the hawk is a capable bike (and document the trip, of course =) ) I filmed the whole trip, and i do have more talking and interaction later on once more interesting places and events started popping up (though i havent edited the 18+ hours of footage for those parts yet ^^;) but it can be kinda hard since my mic was limited to the gopro on the front of my helmet, making talking at speeds over 40 virtually worthless (an issue i should have foresaw, but didnt x.x) that means most of my talking is either at slow speeds (not common in transit) or when i reach an interesting place and get off the bike.
