They said Black People shouldn't go to Sturgis, I WENT ANYWAY! 

As a white 80 yr old Floridian, I am so sick of the media trying to scare people of each race against each other. Go where you want and do what you wish without fear. 99.9% of us just want to get along and live in peace. The media was trying to scare minorities away from Florida needlessly. I’m thrilled that you had the same emotional reaction to that trip that I had. I felt your sense of awe. So very glad you went and will go back!

Old white man here. Glad you went ahead and took this trip to such a beautiful part of the country. Travel broadens your horizons. I truly wish that all Americans could take the time and be able to afford to travel and see our great country. There is too much crap coming out of Washington and Hollywood which just seems to divide us all as a country. I wish you the best.

As a black man, I went in 2023 and had the time of my life and me and my buddy and I rode from Connecticut.

As a Native American, you're invited TO ALL OF our great nation. I was incredibly moved by that Dignity statue and memorial. That's sacred lands and I truly believe your mom smiled down on you. She kept you safe during that ride, my brother. I hope you one day visit my beautiful state of Arizona; Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona and beyond. Safe travels, brother.

Glad you had a great time! Goes to show if the 99% of us Americans payed no attention to the 1% of race baiting crowd and media how great could this country really be! They fear us all coming together more than anything! Greatest country on earth! God bless!!

as an old biker, I don't care what color you are, if you're a good person, you're a good person. Period. Ride free my friend.

With all the clickbait focused on dividing us, thank you for making content that brings us together as Americans. A ride like that feels like a spiritual endeavor, and you've given me the courage to do it some day.

Damn you had me in tears. CONGRATS! To you all I’m so inspired. I just got my motorcycle license past November and on 6/15/24 I purchased the Kawasaki Ninja 500 as a beginner bike at 52yrs old😂. May the lord continue to bless you in your journey. ❤🙏🏾🐞🐞🐞🐞

I’m an old white-y and South Dakota is my back yard. I can tell you with 100% certainty that South Dakota is for you and anyone that chooses to partake of its beauty. All are welcome. I hate the lies we are fed about each other. This video was amazing and your commentary even better. Touched my heart. You gained a new follower.✌️

We need more of this in this country. More people ignoring the race baiters and lamestream media. THIS video and what you experienced is what this country is all about - Americans love one another - religion, race, how you dress, who you identify as does not matter - be respectful and you will get respect. This country is a melting pot and it is what makes us strong - do not let them divide or categorize us.

I grew up in a cornfield in northern Indiana. Close to Amish, and old white farmers. I never SPOKE TO, and I mean LITERALLY NEVER ONCE IN MY LIFE SPOKE TO anyone that wasn't white til college. Got along with everyone just fine when I did. I just wasn't raised "that way". And while my entire area was a bunch of old white folks, and black folks never moved in around there, if they DID, I think they would've been welcomed by 99% of the community. (only 99, cuz there's always THAT fuckin guy no matter where ya are yanno?) I've become a huge fan of yours, and would've loved to have had you as a teacher. I wish you all the best.

G-Kue, I just received my copy of "The Enthusiast" magazine and read your story, so of course I had to come here and check out your channel...particularly this video highlighted in your article. Well done, sir! You are a talented story teller. (Subbed) I don't know who told you you wouldn't be welcome in Sturgis but that's a flat out lie. Don't let the minority (bigots) determine your direction in life. We are all one race, the human race. Anyway, I made that ride from SoCal. Love, love, loved it!! Been to your home state of Louisiana when I was Stationed at Penscola Naval Air Station. Went there for the Mardi Gras. Anyway, that was decades ago. Sorry for your loss. I can tell she meant the world to you. I would ride with you anytime. God Bless.

As a black woman I was told so many places I shouldn’t go and every single time I went anyway and had a great experience. Just recently I was told to stay out of certain parts of South Carolina and when I went everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nice. I’m not here to take away from any one’s experience. But we must experience for ourselves ❤❤❤Glad you had an amazing experience.

I'm a 67 year old, life long biker. There are only Brothers and Sisters in my world, including you, your family and friends. We stand on common ground and share the same values. Thank you and "Ride on!"

I lost my mom when I was 16 to cancer. You’re right, that wound never really heals. I felt you when you had that moment. Showing emotion is what keeps us sane. Awesome video.

I feel you on not being able to tell your mom about exciting things you’ve done. My dad told me before he passed that he will be living his life through me, and to live the most fulfilling life that I can. Keep doing exciting things, your mother is with you.

I’m a middle aged white guy from PA, and your video is the ONLY one that has ever brought tears to my eyes and the I thank you brother, and I do mean brother because we are ALL brothers and sisters !! Your video’s message and your willingness to seek truth brings hope that this beautiful country will not always be so divided and one day we will truly be ONE NATION UNDER GOD. May God bless you on your travels and spread your message of hope and unity !! Much love from PA !

As another black man. I realized a lot of people limit themselves. They assume the world won't accept them or everybody is evil. I've traveled a lot and yes there are some assholes here and there. But for the most part I have never been scared or felt unwelcomed. This trip was dope. It was almost like I was there with y'all😂

Great video! I recently lost my mother 5 months ago, you made me 😢 once you started talking about your mom. I feel your pain, and its looks like moms would be proud of you. If you are truly anything like the person in this video, then the world needs more people like you! Cheers, be safe. 2 wheels for life.

Braaaaah, this was a really enjoyable ride. He took us on simultaneous journeys. The scenery was breathtaking and your explanation of things and your conversations felt like they were a personal journey we were riding along with you. Thank you for the ride, my friend.

I’m a 66 yr old black male who used to travel across country on my Goldwing. In my travels I had nothing but positive experience from complete white strangers seeing my bag and asking where I’m going or coming from, offering me meals, their place to rest or stay. I’m glad you experienced the some of the best this country offers from its people to scenery.

Pausing at 21 seconds to say, I am a lifelong motorcyclist, from a motorcycling family. My mom rode. Whoever told you that is silly. There is trash in every color and creed, almost every kind of group. And there is also way more people that are down to earth and rock. You ride and you're cool, that's all that matters.

don't know what made me click this video, but I'm glad I did. Full of tears of joy watching you guys experience this great landscape of a country in all of the awe and beauty. To all of those spreading and living peace, love, and joy. God continue to bless.

Wow ,that was a powerful ,encouraging message G! I'm G(arry), from Alberta, Canada. Went to Sturgis in 1995 and hoping to go back this year (2024). much love to you from Canada my man!

I had to take some time before writing this. As a Black man in my 50’s who has been told his entire life that certain activities or music or whatever was “for white folks” it feels good to see a like minded brother who refuses to be told what he can or can’t enjoy because of race. Beautiful video keep enjoying life without limits!

Shocked that people were telling you that it was wrong for you to go to Sturgis. All riders are welcomed. Hope you enjoyed the party.

I'm 72 y/o Hispanic, and I went to Sturgis by myself in 2010. Again, in 2011 and 2015 with friends. The media likes to keep us divided. Thank you for the video. It brought back great memories.

Thank you for taking us along for the ride. I enjoyed talking the trip with your crew. I’ve never seen any of the stuff you showed and it makes me want to visit South Dakota for sure.

I am an old white woman and so glad you did this trip and shared it with us. I have traveled to every state except the north east. I think every politician needs to do a road trip like this. In a car, no speeches, just mingling with the people and see what we have. It changes you. Thanks for filming and sharing your trip.

I am a middle-aged Black woman and, a few years ago, I took a road trip to South Dakota. I wasn't on a motorcycle though. It was one of the best trips of my life. I've said that every American needs to explore that part of the country. The Badlands were absolutely breathtaking. The people were so nice. I hope to go back someday.

Man this video puts such a smile on my face, I’m so so happy for you and your friends, we did the trip last year ourselves, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and back to Florida, it was a great trip and it was so wonderful hearing your dialogue and seeing the camaraderie that you experienced along the way 🙏🏻

As a Elder statement, I must say I am so proud of you and I know your mother would be also. Be safe on those road my little brother.

This was a beautiful video. And I truly pray that we as Black people stop lumping all of us into one basket. I’m a Black American female who loves reading fantasy books, hiking, camping, sewing, and doing yoga! I would’ve loved an open road trip like this. We are all individuals!

I love sharing this story. My late husband, a black man, and I were moving from Seattle back to Virginia Beach and we ended up in Sturgis the first night of the bike festivities.. It was so hot that day. I had been putting towels in the cooler and then wrapping them around my husband's neck because our AC stop working in northern Idaho. We were beat, we had our 1yr old with us. My husband had battled the Uhaul all day as it wasn't loaded very well and his arms and shoulders were burning. We stopped at several hotels and discovered everything was sold out. At our last try before we ended up sleeping in our Ford Explorer we went into the motel lobby. A typical biker guy was checking in. He was a portrait of what you think of as a biker. He had it all, longhair, leathers, patches the whole deal, tatted up and as tall as my husband who was 6-6. Some people might have found him rather intimidating. As he was walking to leave he stopped at the door as the front desk lady apologized to us and explained there was no room anywhere in town. The biker turned around and said "They can have my room, I can crash with friends tonight." I will never forget it. We thanked him over and over again and then he rode off on his bike to find his friends. I was used to uncomfortable stares from other white people when I was out with my husband. It was 1999 and we had been living in Idaho for some time before going to Seattle. A mixed race couple in Idaho was a rare thing back then. This man was so kind to us, it really touched us both. We didn't get his name and we always regretted it. I hope we have passed the kindness on over the last 24 years. No matter where you go there will be people who hate. Our children have felt it especially as me moved between Boise and Virginia many times over the years and permanently in 2008. Ignore the hateful & embrace the loving. Our son , Zeke, who was with us on that trip is almost 25 and rides a huge Yamaha Roadstar. He wonders about going to Sturgis one day and wonders how he would be received there as a black (biracial) man. We lost my husband at the start of the pandemic and the following year my father-in-law who used to ride with a club when he was in the military died of cancer. My son misses his dad and wishes he could share his bike adventures with his Papa who was affectionately known as Doc-G. Edit :Zeke's birthday is August 29th and I think I'm going to order him one of your hoodies. One of the other experiences on that trip that was more than profound for my husband was Little Big Horn. He got chills and said it felt like he had been there before. Ride safe!

Good video my dude 💯..my mom passed 5yrs ago from cancer and I still find myself breaking down at different times….could be a memory..a song ..pic ..anything really …I’m wit ya man 💯 First time watching..wishing you many blessings bro and continued healing !! You’re making her proud ..”Hold It In the Road”!🙏🏾💯

Another Old white man here. I don't have color boundaries; only idiot boundaries. I've been a biker a racer blah blah. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It reached to me when I'm not quite sure of things in this stage of my life. I'm actually online shopping for bikes again. Thanks G! It was inspiring.

This brought tears to my eyes. I am an old white woman who went cross-country 5 times in my youth. Loved every minute. The concept that people would have tried to separate you from that experience breaks my heart so much. You seem like such a nice guy and that alone will open 90% of the doors and the 10% of people who might close the door to you, in those cases you would be better off to let those particular doors to close. But the Bible says to brush the dust off of your feet when you aren't welcome someplace and as a Christian, if Jesus had to talk to people way back then about sometimes not being welcome, we can't expect different.

You got a new subscriber, I got emotional and teared up hearing you talk about your mom. My mom is still on this earth and I cant imagine how I will feel when God calls her home but your mother would be proud of you and she is watching over you. Thank you for sharing a positive message when there is so much negitive out there trying to consume us all and pit us against one another.

I was amazed at how well you put together your video. America is an amazingly country to see and explore, thanks for sharing brother.

I'm very sorry for your loss of your mom. I lost my mom 7yrs ago. The fact that you came to the magic hills of this great country makes me happy. This country is so beautiful and enough for us all to enjoy! God bless and ride safe out there. We are truly one nation.

I'm a NYC native, 61 yr old white woman, spent plenty of time riding on the back of motorcycles in my younger years. Your video had me in tears the whole time. God bless you and ride safe. Never lose that open, positive adventurous spirit.

Without a doubt the best 1st time impressions of riding the Black hills video I've ever seen. The way you captured your reactions to all that natural beauty makes me fondly remember the first time I rode out there. Thanks for sharing the video!

“Don’t let the ignorance of others stop you from being your best self” Love it! I needed that

Never apologize for shedding a tear for your mama. Edited to add: wonderful narration, wonderful storytelling, wonderful message.

I just enjoyed this trip with you from my couch in NJ. Thanks for sharing, that was incredible.

I’m a 62 years young woman and I’m NOT crying for a lot of reasons: I realized how little I have seen of my country, the feelings of LOVE you showed us you have for your mother, how awesome your friends are and how great our God is to let all of us know that’s watching this video that as long as you are LIVING, “it’s never too late”!! HALLELUJAH 🙏🏾

Like you said, misinformation is poison and as Mark Twain put it, travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Thank you for making and sharing this video.

What's good Sir! Ayoooo great video. Great music, editing, and storytelling. I felt like I was right there with you. I understand how you feel about some "places". So glad you took it on head first and went to see it for yourself. They will never truly know who we are unless we are present to represent ourselves. New sub.

Right on! Dont ever let anyone stop you from living your life! You are an enlightened soul, keep spreading your energy around. Thats how we foster positive change. Keep riding!

The motorcycle community is probably the most accepting and welcoming group of people I’ve ever met. ❤❤

As a 73-year-young woman, I applaud you for your love, warmth and purity of spirit! I’m white and live in Arkansas which is really hard right now, but this, too, shall pass! Thank you, G, for sharing the gift of love! New sun!❤️🤗❤️

I’m not sure how this popped up to my feed but damn was that worth it! The way you tell your story is fantastic and inspiring. You will always have a place anywhere you go with the way you carry yourself. We could all learn so much from your video. Life isn’t simple but imagine if we would let it be. Thank you!!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for posting this! May God richly bless you. May you have many more great adventures in your life.

I'm a 58 yrs white woman, your video has me in tears, for the reasons that you mention and for your sweet Mama showing you that she is with you at all times. And for the beautiful sites you got to experience. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS TRIP and not letting anyone tell you that you shouldn't!! I was raised on motorcycles, my late husband and I planned on buying two bikes and we're saving to do so, he took ill suddenly when I was 40, just before he slipped into a coma that eventually took him from me forever, he made me promise to buy myself a Harley and ride the tires off of it, and he would be riding with me as my angel. A year after his passing I bought that Harley, I rode it every day. 2 yrs of having it, in 2009 I rode the entire Natchez Trace Parkway from the top in Tennessee to Natchez Mississippi, round trip was 1300 miles for me. It was a beautiful and peaceful ride, and also a test of my endurance for long distance riding on my own. My plan was to make my husband's and I dream ride out west, see all the amazing beautiful sites. So I began saving for that ride for June of 2010 and I was so excited for it. But I ended up having a bad accident in March of 2010, non bike related, that ended up changing my entire life forever. I was 3 short months away from finally living out our dream ride, it still breaks my heart to this day. So just know that I took such great joy in watching you enjoying and experiencing all of the beauty that is out there and not letting anyone stop you from doing what you deserve to do! Your Mama is undoubtedly VERY proud of you, I certainly am! Much love and respect❤

Dude...NEVER apologize for showing TRUE HUMAN EMOTIONS!!! Your willingness to be real in the moment and share it with the world triggered my own moment as I watched. Thank you.

Great video, fella. Great message also… Our country IS beautiful and it’s great to be able to go and see it…. May the road ahead of you always be smooth, Bro 👍🏾

I don't know how the algorithm found me this video but I am sooo glad I watched it!! U are an incredible brother, with amazing story telling ability and editing skills. The world needs more uniters instead of dividers, what a great example you are. God bless 🙏🏽💯

I'm not sure who spreads these rumors that attempt to divide us, but videos like this help break through those boundaries and fears. Saying hey from Montana 👋🏼

I sold my Harley in 2018. I always wanted to go to Sturgis - being an African American female kept me away though. I didn’t think I’d fit in, but was wrong. I had White church friends who went annually. Thank you SO much for sharing your journey. I especially like your analogies and sincere appreciation for nature and our American history. Keep riding! Keep shining!🏍💕🇺🇸💯😇

So glad I stumbled upon your video! What a wonderful experience you've shared with us. Your narration and video were a pleasure to take in. God bless you in your travels sir, thanks for sharing

This was so delightful to watch. I am also a Baton Rouge native and really enjoyed coming along for your ride to Sturgis. I've never been to the Dakota's and it was truly majestic. Now it's on my list. I live in Colorado now and it's beautiful this time of year. Thanks for sharing your journey!!!

I’m an old white grandma from Alabama. I don’t know how I found your RU-vid site, but wow! I’m glad I did. Thank you for such a heartfelt video and I think it’s wonderful that you’re so proud of our great country. You almost made me ruin my mascara. Much love and many prayers for your safety.

This almost makes me want to get a group together and travel just to prove there are more good people in America than not and there’s more love than racism

First time on your page... when I heard your voice, I JUST KNEW you were from back home! Love this video btw!

Never apologize for being human. It was heartwarming to see how touched you were about the natural beauty of the scenery of South Dakota. I also find myself getting emotional when I take in the beauty of our nation and memories shared with friends and family. Ride on brother and be safe out there on those roads.

I’m a disabled veteran, 7 years us army, when I see racism, hatred etc it really makes me feel like those 7 years were a waste of time. Nobody but nobody is better than the person standing next to you. It doesn’t matter the color, religion, sexual orientation. Jesus said love thy neighbor. Not love thy neighbor if they meet your criteria. Much love.

Amen brother...as an older white guy you hit the nail right on the head with this one. I've been saying what you discovered for so long now. Forget race...we are all human despite there being good and bad in every one. Im glad you went on the trip to find out for yourself instead of swallowing the poison of misinformation and completely enjoyed yourself as you should. Its a memory and adventure you will never ever forget. God bless you and safe travels always!

Got chills w Dignity stop and cried w you when ur mama put that sun out for you❤ Thank you for sharing and giving me more motivation to move from passenger to rider position❤

This is one of the coolest things I've seen on RU-vid. It felt like I was riding along with you.

Sturgis is for everyone and the biker community is warm and welcoming to all!!! Glad y’all had a good time and hope to see there again!! ☮️🙏🍻

I’m an immigrant who loves this beautiful country the way you shared it. Thank you for being a different voice on social media that counters the noise. The editing, voice over, the raw emotions and friendships on road-trips are all amazing. New sub.

Thank you for sharing such an awesome experience. An adventure of a lifetime with good folks. Stay humble, be blessed…Aloha from Volcano, Hawaii🤙🏾🤙🏾

When you started crying, I started sobbing. I feel for you bro, I also miss a parent dearly and as my life gets better and better, I wish more and more that they could see all I do. Recently, I had a bad situation turn good when it did, a beam of sunlight came out and I felt my father embrace me. I didn’t realize it was him until now, so THANK YOU for your testimony and thank you for your channel. Best of luck, be safe out there, and may your higher power guide your path with a bright light ✌🏾

I feel ya' man... My father committed suicide when I was 22... I'm 50 now and there is not a day that goes by that I don't want to talk to my dad... It hurts, but we gotta keep going for them! And NEVER apologize for showing emotion for a lost family member...

I just watched this video. It gave me goose bumps on how emotional this trip was for you and your friends. I as a older white lady wish your words were more taken to heart. By all men and women. I believe racism is pushed by political interests, I cried with your dedication to your mom. God Bless you all.

Loved the video! The greatest part of motorcyclists is the brotherhood and likeminded nature that is doing something we love. So glad you took this trip and your mama would be proud!

Glad I found your channel G! You got me teared up talking about your Mom. Scenery was amazing; enjoyed watching your video! Keep 'em coming G! -Ian from Boston

Don't ever apologize for feeling emotional about your mom. It's a testament to the close relationship you had with her, and I love that you feel you take her with you. What an awesome adventure! I'm glad you didn't listen to the people who said not to go and took this amazing trip anyway. I loved your videos and commentary along the way, and I checked out a couple of your other videos, too. Subscribed!

I’m a mom of an adult son. What a love you show for your mom who is, yes, still with you -watching and protecting you. With all due respect, I’m proud of you…God bless and keep you all❤

This was a beautiful video brother. I'm from Downtown Laurel MS and I live in Colorado. Your words really hit me in the feels and couldn't be a more accurate statement and testament to escaping the struggle of deep south. Hat's off to You Sir

Man I’m really glad this video showed up on my feed. By far one ☝🏻 the best videos I’ve seen. That was a real moment there about your mom, I lost mine 5 years ago and it still hurts me. I think about her every day. It’s rough when something happens and I wanna just pick up my phone and call her but I can’t. It’s rough for sure. but I’m praying for ya man.

Man G I really appreciate your work. I now have this on my bucket list. Trip of a lifetime. Stay safe out there.

Sturgis is a magical area. It's a shame anyone would say not for black people. That's just stupid to me. Another great video. Thank you for sharing

The media would love to keep us all scared and divided. I'm glad you took us all along on your trip. We enjoyed it!!! thank you

Thank you for taking us with you on that ride, I really enjoyed it - the Dignity statue is new to me, that looks amazing. White boy from England wishes he could have rode with you. Subbed!

I loved your closing statement G Kue. What a great video (I don't know why YT algorithm suggested this video but I'm glad it did.

Amen brother, what a wonderful reminder and demonstration that this beautiful country is for all people. "Racism is not dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists.'" -- Thomas Sowell

I’m not a biker, but this video came up in my feed, so watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Do your thing, have adventures, meet people, laugh. Never let the media or crazy lefties try to convince you you’d not be welcome anywhere. Cheers from the UK.

Man, I really enjoyed taking this trip with you! You’re down to earth and very well educated in the ways of the world. Thanks again, I enjoyed the ride!

This is a special documentary. I think everyone should 1) see this video, and 2) get to experience the sights you've seen. Our country would be a better place. Keep preaching

Beautiful trip! I love your poetic commentary and the heart you put into it. I don't know if there was ever a time it wasn't advisable for black folks to go there, but it's clear that plenty of people welcomed you. What a blessing!

As a video guy, you did a phenomenal job of telling your story. Your images, editing & documentation was really well done! So glad your video came across my timeline!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Old guy in the uk here, you and your friends just took me on the most beautiful journey, great sights, fantastic photography and a trip I'll never forget, the camaraderie, meeting really creative people, visiting so many of nature's and human creations. Superb video, i loved every second, good on you m8

Can’t beat the memories and the new people you meet on ones adventures. That’s what makes life so much fun. Be safe and have fun. You would love exploring Arizona on your bike especially during the fall/winter time.

Phenomenal video! That’s really all I have to say. Your production quality is one of the best I’ve seen, your message is even better. You’re an amazing ambassador for the riding community, and for human beings. I’ve been without a bike for over a decade, but this video has me getting that itch again. You got yourself a new subscriber today. Thank you!

Great video G. Both of my parents rode and I was lucky enough to go to Sturgis and Laughlin many times. The bikes and sounds and people are the greatest. Enjoy the ride! Usually in a car these days, but I always keep the extra eye out for bikes. Love your content.

Man, this was fun to watch !! I'm a shy introvert, and rarely get out. But, this inspired me to tear down my self-imposed boundaries...and go somewhere !! I loved what you said about not accepting limitations imposed by others. An old Confucius saying: "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step". THANK YOU.

Thank you so much for taking this ride. I am an African-American female in my 50s. The things you said about your mother and wishing you could call her and tell her what you were doing, I can identify with. I long to travel now that I am older. Watching your video and listening to your narration and your responses to the beauty that you saw made me cry. Thank you again may God continue to keep you and your crew covered as you travel in Jesus name. You never know with the lives you will touch by doing what you do.

Beautiful video! Thank you! As much as I see people say riding or going certain places or even appreciating America is only for some people and not others I think it's important that there are people challenging that and showing the way.

Absolutely perfect video!! Thanks for sharing Kue. The way you wrapped up the video sums up riding motorcycles.
