This MALFUNCTION had dangerous consequences... The final episode of "Jess Goes West" is here!! I was shocked and deeply upset to discover a major failure in a critical part of my riding gear. This has since been remedied in recent weeks. Documenting this trip has been one of the highlights of my riding career. Pushing my limits and striving to find a happy balance in my mental health and travel skills.

Love your persistence, Jess. Yes it’s best to stop when you can’t see and stay dry. Was stuck in a miserable rain storm about 15 years ago and my trip had an unfortunate 4 hour addition to it when the rain forced a bridge closure. Had to turn around, backtracked 2 hours through the worst of the rain again. From that moment it changed almost everything I did to prepare for long rides. Glad you arrived safe. As always, “Keep scootin’!”

@tjs201971 Год назад

I totally agree taking a break after every 100 miles! Keeps you fresh and more alert what is around !! Ride safe Jess!!

@djwavepad420 Год назад

Especially on a motorcycle it's better to take a break because your back hurts and it's a different style of road trip. Then just getting in your Toyota RAV4 and doing a hundred miles. But if you're doing a long long road trip in a car or motorcycle taking a 30 minute break is always good

I been following you from your first video and seen the progress you have made,.. this was another level, really. Now you have showed everyone the real life on a bike....I sat down, I poured myself a glass of wine and didn't touch it for the whole 25 minutes. Big thanks for this awsome video Jess and be safe out there!!

I don't know how you could set it up safely, but with all your viewers you could have a great safety net near you always. I know I know, you don't really know us etc etc etc but everytime you have some issue in my neck of the woods I wish I knew so I could help. You are so awesome! Glad you are safe and that you work to stay that way and glad you had an amazing journey. Getting on a motorcycle is a dangerous thing, you never know where those tires might take you. See what I did there.

@dasvtx Год назад

Enjoyed the series! Those are long days in the saddle. Glad you made it through the gauntlet unscathed. I had a similar experience riding home from Lake Placid in a rain storm. Not fun when the visor leaks like that at all. We ducked into a pizza shop in Vermont to wait it out and get on the back side of the storm. The kids in the shop let us stand near the oven to dry out. Needless to say they were well compensated that day. Looking forward to your next adventures. Enjoy the cruise!

@@robertholland7558 I was out of state. Getting it dropped was more than enough pain than hiring a local lawyer, you know they would have wanted me to physically be in the courtroom so that's flying back and forth. Not worth the effort. If it had been local I have a firm on retainer.

@Havanorange Год назад

Stopping on the shoulder is dangerous too. You don't want to get off into wet grass and mud when it's raining. Under an overpass the paved part of the shoulder is sometimes wider, you're out of the pouring rain, your lights reflect on the walls (at night), drivers are somewhat more alert to see that you're stopped and off the road.

@13thSwarde Год назад

Back in the day I rode a 1976 Liberty Edition SuperGlide (kick start only) which held 2 1/2 gallons of usable fuel before going into reserve. I learned to stop every 100 miles since the SuperGlide got 50 MPG's. I rode that motorcycle for 10 years, putting 96K miles on it, with just routine maintenance. With my current 2007 Fatboy I still stop every 100 - 125 miles to refuel, and take about a 15 - 20 minute break. Riding in the rain is a real pain for sure, glad you made it safely. I am fortunate to still be on two wheels at 71 years of age. I plan to put a Frankenstein trike kit on my Fatboy in the near future. Wishing you the very best on your motorcycling adventures.

@marceaton3128 Год назад

Question please, you changed you bars on the bike. I have a bad back, rods and screws in my lower back, thoracic stating to bother me when I ride. Did notice higher bars helped with shoulder pain? I have a street glad special, that’s what I rode as a Motor Deputy. Did the shocks help make the motor ride better? Now the cam, I can hear the purr. Was it expensive and do you like it. I was hoping to be at the camp out but we just finished a three week of Covid. If you can answer I’d appreciate it. Be safe out there today.

@KeViNMCMXXCIX Год назад

Good stuff for stopping on time Jess. In the Netherlands we have a "rule" which is really more a good habit for yourself an other drivers or riders it says like every 2 hours you drive/ride take a 15 mins break. This to prevent getting tired in your sights etc. Granted, I don't do this whilst driving a car all the time cause I can drive longer without feeling fatigued or something. But if I take a longer one way trip, say 3 hours or more i'll have to stop and either eat, drink or pee anyway, kinda like an alarm clock sometimes lol.

@hawgryder13 Год назад

Any motorcycle manual I have ever received with a bike warns against using the plastic squeeges at gas stations and the soap they have. Plastic windshields are not like those on cars. DO NOT use those things on your bike.

@KeViNMCMXXCIX Год назад

Seems fair and logic. I wouldn't either, i'd probably use visor cleaner stuff for the windshield or just soap where you wash the bike with also or something. But what I approve is stopping on time whether it be at a gas station to stretch, fuel up, drink, eat or toilet break or waiting out the rain under a overpass for safer travels.

@scottdeeslcutusa8117 Год назад

Hey, my helmet leaks also and I am looking for a better one. What did you end up getting?

@charlesshepard807 Год назад

Good set of videos i wish i had warned you about hwy 70 in Denver. we rode that on our way back from the west coast. You are right it was so horrific. Plus I didn't' realize that the air pressure in my tires had actually gone up from all the mountain riding in NV, UT, and CO. Still not sure how I didn't blow a tire. I did hit one crack or pot hole or idk what it was so hard I almost gotten thrown off my bike on that road. Will definitely be finding a different route through there next time.

@seaninness334 Год назад

@15:37 The cloud rolling by look cool while you are changing into rain gear at double(?) speed. @18:49 again, the 360 with the water droplets and overhead lights has created an interesting nimbus above you. Also, mentally throwing you a big warm beach towel, fresh out of the dryer, at you.
