Great video; helpful, thorough. Thank you. Did you stop too often for gas and receipts to document? I agree with stopping often to stretch, etc, but gas stops are slower, etc. Great idea to map out each stop and have everything, especially the addresses, on paper ahead of time.

Yeah. I was trying to balance out stoping to rest and get gas at the same time. Worked out pretty well. I did stop a couple other times quick just to get some water from my bag. It was fun and having it mapped out a head of time. For me made it a little more exciting with the anticipation of finishing each step.

I see you ended with 1005 miles. I tend to run about 5% over. In the end, did your ride qualify?

I remember when Whit did that SS1K on her Sportster. It was brutal. I’m in the middle of enjoying part one of your SS1K videos, I will watch all of them. I’ve completed an SS1K, and a Bun Burner 1500 Silver.

I lived in Harrison, Michigan as a young kid. I did ride over the Mac last year on our Newport to Maine ride two years ago with my wife, two up. Good choice of music. How did you pipe it into your video? I liked your level of organization with the printed out Google Maps! Living in the west, where the distances are huge, the only planning you must do is knowing where the gas stations are located.. Great job!

Thanks! I used iMovie to add it over the video and music from the free KZbin library.

Your long ride brought fond memories of my saddle sore rides! Crystal sharp video and I enjoyed your light hearted narration. I particularly enjoyed the shots of Lake Michigan... Please do not try to talk over your music....turn it down when the urge to talk takes over....Well done!

In 2003 I did my SS from Glenwood Springs, CO to Winona, MN 1100 miles in 17 hours. I did freeways only after sunset and 2 metro areas. After sunset because of potential deer strikes. The metros were Denver and Omaha.

Nice ride. I am going to do one next month. I am going to Butte, MT with a stopover around Pocatello, ID. I plan on doing a SS1k and a BB. Do you keep your camera running the whole time?

@journeywithjeff1579 Жыл бұрын

Enjoy it! I keep the camera on my helmet the whole time. Which does add some weight and fatigue. But I only recorded when I had some thought or saw something Interesting. Had the GoPro set up to turn on/off with the record button.

Congratulations thinking of attempting myself what seat are you running on your bike did 350 in stock seat and my tailbone was sore

@journeywithjeff1579 Жыл бұрын

I have the stock heated seat. When I bought the bike I read the heated seat was quite a bit more comfortable then standard so I went for it. Its surprisingly comfortable for a factory seat.

Nicely done video. I've often thought making a loop around Lake Michigan would be fun-havent done it yet. Thanks for taking me along. I'm looking forward to the next instalments!

Nice! Look forward to the second half. I had mine planned two weeks ago until this guy Ian shoved his eyewall right through our neighborhood. So, next month it is North Fort Myers to Destin FL and back. Original plan was a loop around the Smokies and back but temps are dropping quickly up north.

@journeywithjeff1579 Жыл бұрын

Hope you are all ok from Ian! It was a ton of fun. Part 2 is going up tonight. So many videos to go through. Did tail of the dragon last weekend. It was a little on the chilly side in the evening but I was able to make it down and back up to Michigan. Heated seats, grips and about 18 layers helped! haha
