1000 Mile Vintage Motorcycle Ride from Indiana to Florida | Trippin' on Two Wheels - Retro

[@seayak]

This one put a big smile on my 75 year old face!

[@varshida]

The r17 shirt shows the enthusiasm, the BMW bikes are so beautiful

[@dougleitz1134]

Classic bikes have so much character.

[@rangerrick816]

I loved this. Do more of these road shows.

[@edwardbegiebing6036]

More rides like this I agree I would love.. Old bikes Like everything back then Made to last .... Inspiring

[@kipphelan]

Awesome video. Good on you guys ...all the best...Chris

[@Henry.58]

Just now watched this,what a great experince as a dad to do these rides with your son.

[@sspradley11]

Ok now. Whoever is doing all your video recording needs to be given credit also. They did a spectacular job. Bikers and non bikers should find this video very appealing. I know I did.

[@matthewmuellner]

Beautiful bikes, especially the guzzi. Watched Dennis since before I went gray, he's still the best. World needs a 'my classic motorcycle tv' using the tried & true formula

[@NealeBayly]

We kinda tried it. TV networks weren't interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-mh2Spet2Dftk

[@boostedlss6450]

This sparks a vivid memory of mine, my Dad and his close friend (still) rode their Guzzi's from Victoria B.C. down to California multiple times about 50 years ago, somewhat bittersweet now since Dad has sold all his bikes being that it's not safe for him to ride these days. A different time for motorcycles then, things like harmonic vibration that would vibrate the screws out of your Nikon, the same quirks and tricks of different bikes observed in this vid, early chassis built with questionable engineering merit, he rode them all, had the CB 750 in the 70's, Grampa had the 550, he raced an Elsinore, he bought a new Matchless as a young man, restored a beautiful Vincent Black Shadow, BSA's, Ariels, lots of cool stuff. I ride an almost 20 year old Honda now, to see if it will ever quit which I doubt it will, but with my years stacking up a bit now, I find that motorcycles are one of the last things I would be willing to give up since they provide so much more than just bugs in your teeth and a shiny coffee shop trinket to display. You can get a big smile just from buzzing around on a 50cc scooter in the backyard if you have the right mentality! DONT GET OLD!

[@sharonortedschempp8759]

What a great ride with a fantastic video....! Bravo... Guys!!! ....allthree of you. Hi Dennis.... I was an old College Mate of Jay Leno's (Emerson College, Boston, 1973) but we weren't friends....... just classmates for one advanced speech class, last semester, Spring of '73.... so he doesn't know me..... When I was a student there, I had an old 1963 BMW R-27 250 cc. Earls Fork Bike... which I safely rode through both Boston and Cambridge....... Glad you guys had a fabulous time and your "Riding into History" I'm sure was a fabulous event. Don't forget to stop in someday at Dale and Matt Walksler's "Wheels Through Time Museum, " in Maggie Valley, N C...... Cheers, Ted Schempp, Nashville

[@canadaeast8358]

What a great episode

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Thanks!

[@Gitarzan66]

A video! This is the best Tuesday ever!

[@Gitarzan66]

Nice garage brother!

[@Keith-rk4td]

Airheads forever! R80/7! Best motorcycle I ever owned!!

[@sangeetbhullar349]

Best video nd best bikes ever love frm india

[@Ripplin]

Thank you! Hope we'll get to see all of them eventually. ;)

[@MyClassicCarTV]

You will!

[@Ripplin]

@@MyClassicCarTV Excellent! Loved the series the first time around and it's nice to see it again.

[@BogattheMoon]

Nice to see the electric start finally used on the toaster tank lol.

[@ftby59mikeD]

Trip of a lifetime for true friends & enthusiasts! Every father/son needs to do this. Of special note: the only time you'll see Dennis' mustache out of control & un- groomed😂

[@blackholeentry3489]

it's not widely known and Dennis wouldn't want this to get out, but.......in the back country, when flying down the road in light traffic, Dennis employs his moustash to help keep his helmet on!

[@TazR6]

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of that. Thanks Dennis, Neil :-)

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Glad you enjoyed it. We did too!

[@NealeBayly]

@@MyClassicCarTV Oh yes we did

[@jimweagant8920]

Thanks for the ride along and video

[@ralphbillick1210]

Thanks Dennis , can you put this whole series back on. I would like to see a whole lot more of you than the crap they have on motortrend tv now.

[@kdsowen2882]

Beautiful Country and bikes . (pretty-good moustache too) I owned a 73 R60 for 12yrs , simple elegant machine . My TX650 is the same year , there's something about riding Old-Bikes that modern machines can never have plus you can always fix them 'on-the-road' . 400miles is my longest trip, but my buddy who is in his late-70's, would do a thousand-miler in a heart-beat .

[@strider5453]

The R60 and R60/2 are 600 cc boxer-twin that were manufactured from 1956 to 1969

[@allancatellier7424]

What a great video I road a lot of the motorcycles I'm seeing like the old Indiana

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

What a great show! Always great content keep it coming!

[@danielartist123]

Wonderful film!

[@queenslander954]

Now that’s going for a Putt , there’s nothing better in life than going for a long putt , similar distances in Australia to ride across different states.

[@Sticks-of-TNT-tf1tn]

Go Dennis. So you’re a Hoosier? I’m retired in Brown County, IN where my mom’s from and wife has family in Madisonville, KY. 🧨 P.S. My dad was a Penn State Trooper in the late 30s and rode Harley-Davidsons. Here’s a stat for you. Twice as many troopers were killed on their motorcycles in those years than from firearms. Needless to say, there was zero chance of me riding a bike as a kid.

[@JamesAllmond]

wait a minute, I bought this...have it loaded into my iTunes too...watch it if you haven't. Of course his son is like 30 now...

[@vinnyc365]

Great episode. A lot off fun. More road trips please.

[@jmahaney3]

Fantastic. I loved the bikes.

[@dank9296]

Great video! Thanks for posting. 👍😊

[@Steverinomeister]

3:00 transmission enGaged brain not. You see what I did there? Good on ya for leaving that in.

[@theaxer3751]

Man, this made me jealous. Did a dream trip in a mustang some years back at the west coast and the countryside in the USA is just so beautiful wherever you go. Now I also have my motorcycle driving license for a year and eager for a longer trip. Not quite a classic, but on my comfy (and quick) 2008 GTR1400.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Ride safe!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Man o Man! What a great vid, fantastic shots and story! I had that Red, White Blue 84 Honda Interceptor back in the days around end of highschool

[@rdhudon7469]

Those roads are beautiful . I live in Ontario Canada and you have to ride a Rokon to stay on the road and safe . Lol

[@gavinbrackner8015]

I need this in my life

[@bosse641]

Awesome. Great fun.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

It was!

[@claycoffman6650]

And now for the 1000 miles back!

[@mnnorthwoods2520]

Vintage bikes can do some serious miles. In 2019 did two Ironbutt Saddle Sore 1000s with a twelve hour break between the runs, on 1975 CB550F Super Sport. First SS1K the bike completed was in 2017. (SS1K requires at least a 1000 miles ridden in less than 24 hours)

[@NealeBayly]

I rode a CB550 from Florida to Alaska two up one time. www.motorcycleclassics.com/classic-motorcycle-touring/florida-to-alaska-zmyz16mazhur

[@toddclark332]

Yes sir I'd love to do it with you too ride a badass old shovelhead

[@sll-tt6bj]

Cool love the guzzi v7

[@Manufalket]

Nice video amigo 😀👍

[@eom2967]

Amazing

[@bradyelich2745]

I have rode my 1996 XL1200S 900 miles in a day. 140 -150 kph. Also, my Girlfriend and I rode our bikes 11,000 miles through the US and Canada in 1999. Two months, 200 hours in the saddle.

[@tylerevans1700]

That was awesome

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool show

GOD DAMN THIS IS FIRE!!!!!!!

[@ericmagnusson1990]

Great!

[@justride5463]

Great video, and amazing bikes! Such style, each of them unique and legendary in their own right. Question: the guy riding the Guzzi...what leather jacket is that?

[@MyClassicCarTV]

I think it was an old Hein Gericke but I'm not positive. BTW, this trip was an awesome experience!

[@justride5463]

@@MyClassicCarTV thanks for that reply! And for sharing the vid of that epic trip!!

[@diegoaespitia]

Love the mustache!!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

We’ve been together a long time.🙂

[@strider5453]

no Earl's front fork? no rubber solo seat? no small luggage rack bolted to the back Fender? You'll never know the true Joy of writing an old BMW.

[@chrisbostrom3161]

The Guzzi wobble is due to the springer seat. Change to a standard single seat with no spring and the wobble is gone.

[@johneastman1905]

Nice video boys … still say old Denis need's to trim that dam mess back !

[@mikeskidmore6754]

It rains so hard in GA and FL may as well just pull off under a Bridge for a few minutes..

[@blackholeentry3489]

a 1000 mile ride? Hec, that's just a warm up. In 2013, at the age of 72, I rode my bike from CA on a mission to 'bag' the 13 states I had never previously been in before, ALL of them east of the MS River.....1st new state....GA. First 'key' destination....Key West, FL. By the time I returned home, I had put over 13K on my motorcycle...and had an over $4,000 motel bill. If you think I must be wealthy, couldn't be farther from the truth and never bought a new car in my life. New motorcycles...well, that's another story, but I always paid cash. "Let someone else pay the interest and take the beating, as my ex wife's uncle often said. BHE

[@Hurley625]

Planning on a trip from Indianapolis to Florida soon on the Harley. Would love to see a map of the route you took to get there.

[@fixedguitar47]

1:24 in.... OPEL GT! There’s one!!!!

[@jahpedro3971]

Great video, 👍sat down with my kid's and we all enjoyed watching yer journey,😀 I really don't understand the dislikes, 🤔must be concerned parents, 🙁or hard-core car enthusiasts,🙄 be great if they could elaborate, just to understand 🤔

[@NealeBayly]

That's great to hear. Especially if you kids enjoy it. This series was so much fun to make.

[@seekfirst]

Did u guys ride back home? Just curious. Thanks for sharing...

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Nope. We all crammed into the production van and drove home. A friend from our area who was also attend Riding into History trailered the bikes back for us.

[@seekfirst]

@@MyClassicCarTV well that worked out perfect then. Lol. Glad you guys made a memory of lifetime...

[@Gersti96]

Is it possible there was a mistake in the editing? I feel like i saw the president’s quarters twice.

Get some

No Luggage they must have a chase Truck !!!!?????

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

They showed it under the bridge and who you think carried all the camera men and luggage bruh?

[@davidkettlewell829]

Anyone who questions whether a properly set up aged BMW will start doesn't know bikes. Now Harley panheads, that's another matter.

[@cliftonmanley3882]

That's not a ride, riding under 200kph isn't a ride. It's a commute.

[@mediainnovation7856]

Chase vehicles required....

[@MyClassicCarTV]

If you're going to shoot a TV show they sure are!
