2 Biker Girls' First, Long Ride... Not What You Want to See

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

If you missed my live stream a few days ago - I packed the first bit of it with announcements so be sure to check it out- I mentioned there I’ll only be responding to comments on videos the first day now! Please understand it’s a decision for mental health. Internet growth has been great this year, but with it… well you know what comes. DM me on Insta or email me if I missed your comment and you wanted to chat! 😋❤️

[@charlesm.8807]

Understood 😁

[@roywalls5595]

I always wear full gear! Mrs Doolie 🌹

[@phantomcruizer]

Any more information about the motorcycle mechanics school Kristen was attending? BTW it may be a good idea to take a basic motorcycle repair course just for safety sake...and to save a few bucks. 😏

[@knudsenj100]

I am so happy to see women riding and not being passengers on someone else's adventure. My wife got her own bike about 10 years ago and is having a blast. One morning getting coffee before we hit the road a little girl was staring at my wife. She finally got the nerve to come up and ask about all her riding gear. She got to sit on our bikes and it made her day. She thought it was so cool that a girl could have her own bike. Hopefully, we helped water an adventurous seed that will continue to grow!

[@RialSloanII]

Glad to see you introducing newer riders to different aspects of riding - it's much easier to try new things or go new places when you've got someone to guide and help you. Looking forward to seeing the Cherohala Skyway and US129 footage soon!

[@jonathonpursell1268]

It Nice to intro the new rider also enjoy the freedom on the bike 👌

[@Jpellet100]

I'm an avid motorcyclist who also works in EMS. This job, more than any other, is a constant reminder of how dangerous the roads truly are. Ride safe out there, and take care of each other!

[@steve00alt70]

if you think US traffic roads are dangerous then you never seen INDIA roads. They are 100x worse multiply that with zero road rules. We are thankful to be living in less severe traffic than India's.

[@captknuckles9723]

@@steve00alt70 always that one dude trying to one up another.... Yes, okay, India is worse. Still doesn't invalidate his point. Working as a first responder, I'm sure he sees his fair share of accidents, including fatal motorcycle crashes and goes to show how dangerous it can be because we forget that sometimes.

[@hudsonhollow]

Good hopes for Kristen. I've been a motorcycle mechanic since 1969. It's a very rewarding career. Seeing customers ride off with big smiles is the greatest reward ever!! My riding group has been stopping at "The Spot" on Richard Russell since the late Seventies or early Eighties. Too long ago to remember the first time we discovered it. Been riding the North Georgia mountains, Tennessee, and North Carolina since the early Seventies and started in the Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia mountains in 1969. I LOVE MOUNTAIN ROADS!!!!!!!!!!

[@Frank_Torre]

You just can't beat a day riding in the mountains. Then once at that overlook the view makes the ride worth it everytime.

[@haneymoto]

Promoting the sport and helping fellow riders is one of the best things any of us can do. I'm sure you are the reason so many ride. Great job Doodle.

[@fearnot3222]

Enjoyed the positivity, encouragement, and compassion shown in this episode. Thank you for sharing!

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

Kudos to you for getting new folks into the twisties! I rode ~30 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway this morning as a part of my "alternate commute route" that's 3x as long as normal, and I saw no other bikes out. I'm guessing the afternoon will be different. Thanks for pointing out that we all really have a lot more in common than we have differences and that we should focus on coming together. ✌️

[@EbonB]

Really nice vid Doodle. Thanks for posting...glad the ladies had a good time. more curvy roads ahead. :-)

[@barneyupnorth8342]

Absolutely love your channel! Teaching new riders, and the importance of safety. I hope you continue to inspire female riders. My wife don’t ride but I play your videos to show her anyone can if they practice.

[@trex860]

Very nice; tank you for sharing..!! Looking forward to seeing the Smokies on my Road Glide later this spring. Take care Doodle...!!

[@jeffhughes6167]

Tank you too, spell check. Sorry T Rex just found it amusing, take care.!!!!

[@trex860]

@@jeffhughes6167 Hahaha yes! I saw that after I sent it and thought it looked rather amusing!

[@MinnowMoto]

What a great ride. Thanks for sharing your time with new riders. Back in the day I was lucky enough to have people to help me sharpen my skills.

[@markanthony6064]

I love seeing new riders fall in love with riding. I live in the north Ga mountains so I get to ride these same roads daily. You do a great job keep spreading the love

[@garygardner9677]

Great video! A ride with friends to new places with a luch break to chat is a fantastic way to spend a day.

[@cathyn1033]

Doodle, thanks for taking me back to the roads we road in September, 2021. They were great roads. Also, thanks for introducing new riders to the mountains and twisties .

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

For the record, I clicked the video because you're a kind person who does enjoyable videos that are fun to watch when I'm relaxing. And it's nice, as a guy, to get some insight to the female perspective on riding. Plus, your beginner riding tips were really handy when I started. :D

[@ronmel]

It’s really cool that you’re introducing new riders and simply being safe with places to stop. Great to see that you’re reminding people of ATGATT. Keep up the great vids.

[@Yo2slick]

Awesome content! My daughter got her Motorcycle endorsement last year and just bought her first bike. We are planning some short trips this year. Its great to see more women out riding as everyone should be able to enjoy this sport. It doesn't matter what you ride as long as you are riding. Keep up the great work!

[@carlosiglesias1709]

This is more for the last video. I really enjoy your videos as a fellow Triumph lover. I’m sorry you have to deal with the negatives of the internet(trolling) in this platform. I hope you can stay positive and know that the rest of us are exited to see and hear about your journeys. Keep looking up. Carlos

[@Stuartrecardo]

What a fun group of new friends to ride with… exciting time to show off your fun places and cool rides. Keep safe and sharing the lessons you learn, so many new riders need encouragement daily :)

[@brandonpost3448]

Love your channel. Thanks for breaking down barriers and your positive energy.

[@michaelskinner896]

Great video Doodle! That looked like a lot of fun and thanks for taking us along. I appreciate the PSA about the gear too. I see so many riders that are not wearing helmets, let alone proper pants and jackets. ATGATT.

[@johnpagejr.7628]

Great job Doodle! I agree with the others commenting here. It is great that you are helping other women get used to riding. Riding in the mountains seems to be a favorite of most of us riders.

[@meka1369]

I relate to kristen’s pizza convo. It gets harder as you get older to make friends who share the same interests.

[@1man1bike1road]

finding groups that dont just want to race, stopped going with a mate who was an old show off 120 to 150 mph on a motorway to impress is not my thing. I did do spain on my own from the UK everyone should do a pace that suits their ability and pleasure

[@loricreech5944]

Love your positive attitude, your preparedness, the encouragement. Exciting!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Good Morning Dooodle, Nice ride through the Mountains with your two friends. Good thing you had some extra gear for them. Always tough to see another Biker go down on Her or His Bike. Hopefully he wasn’t hurt too bad. See you on the next video. Have a great day and better weekend. #DOODLENATION

[@correykeen2956]

Great video Doodle! Good to see you getting newer riders out of their comfort zone in a safe positive way.

[@mikedanaher3413]

Great video. Glad you got out with some friends for a ride. It’s fun introducing other riders to your favorite places. You are such a great ambassador. Ride safe kid. 👍

[@alvin6720]

Enjoyed watching you guys having fun together great video

[@peterbigblock]

Absolutely wonderful and entertaining video. Great to see you helping new riders get comfortable with exploring the sport. I totally understand Kristin’s sentiment that it’s hard to find friends interested in the same things as you when your interests stray from what I’d call the middle-age straight-and-narrow.

[@Blujeans4eva89]

Love seeing your leadership! You three are awesome

[@CurtEdwards]

My wife and i met in a motorcycle safety class years ago, when a woman rider was a rare sight, we also collect motorcycles. I really admire your approach and sharing your adventures to inspire other lady riders. Great job!! You can she her being the holkigan she is on everything from two strokes to her Triumph Tiger 800 XRX low! Thanks I just subscribed.

[@ourbluedemon3604]

Great video, once you've got the hang of those mountain curves you just crave some more. Live to ride, ride to live!

[@billcummins9579]

Its great to see new riders, and they are lucky to have a great teacher.

[@StephaneDemers]

Just super nice to see you all enjoy the ride.

[@majortodd1919]

Great ride and always empowering!! I agree with you. Whenever I see a motorcycle or rider down it reinforces my use of protective gear. It also increases my rider awareness and defensive driving! As always Keep up the great videos and be safe!! 😎✌️

[@ryanwithab6239]

Ride safe and have fun! Stoked to see 2 more people on bikes! Love it!

[@danielquintanilla7925]

Every time I've watched a video of yours, it's inspiring. Don't know which word to use but I think it was great that you took the ladies on the ride. You boosted their confidence and showed them The ropes. Your an outstanding person.

[@davidpiikkila5235]

You ladies looked like you had a wonderful time. So humble and appreciative. Ride often, stay safe! Great channel and content.

[@fallinginthed33p]

Good on ya for introducing new riders to fun, safe rides. That Tiger is beautiful! It's the best looking middleweight Adv so far.

[@cl2eep_rides]

You're such an inspiration! Look at you, being a motorcycle Sherpa for new riders!

[@tremoloman]

Great video Doodle! You really captured the fun and spirit of riding as a group and inadvertently served as a PSA about how dangerous the sport can be and why proper writing technique and safety gear is imperative. Awesome video!

[@MISTERW0]

Amazing vid! And great idea to take a break after seeing that accident. Gotta ride with a clear & focused mind!

[@ChaseJasperDown]

What a fun ride! I love that you’re introducing new riders to more entertaining roads.

[@doylehenderson319]

It looks like y'all had a great time riding up/back to the Russell... that's a good pull off to stop at but there is another on the other side of the mountain that is great also. Glad you had a safe trip unlike the fellow on the ground but the EMS had things under control. Just a reminder to all to constantly scan what's around us as we ride. Be safe Doodle!!!!

[@DrSinisster]

Loved this. So much about this is what Bike Life is all about. Meeting new people, sharing stories & rides, and Adventure is never far away. Great Vid Doodle ❤️🤙👍

[@Motahead7930]

Doodle glad you didn’t get gas station Pizza!!! Lol awesome video! Stopping after seeing the accident was a good call to reset! Your channel is awesome!

[@jeffhughes6167]

Yeah don’t think you would want racetracks pizza before a long ride, too many extra bathroom breaks.

[@wmscottd]

What a fun looking ride !! Love to see you taking newer riders out and letting them get more comfortable riding in different types of terrain!

[@stevenpeck5949]

I want to thank you for setting such a good example as a road Captain. Especially being considerate of the mental state of the group. Now go enjoy the Dragon! After you do the Dragon, please let us know the date and time so we can look at the pictures that will be taken!

[@djsomers100]

Excellent video. Didn't expect more. New riders all go through the same sort of fears and need for experience and learning. Super cool. I just dropped my brand new Moto Guzzi V85 at a stop sign that was on an uphill slope and I had to turn right which was a further uphill slope. Had my left foot down which naturally leaned the bike the wrong way. Started it out and it fell right over. One broken bone in my foot but a lesson learned. Riding two wheels is not an easy skill. Thank you for taking others under your wing.

[@BeYourSelf292]

This is heart warming its really cool you bring beginners our for a ride. I love it how you make the icebreaker on complimenting them on their gear and bikes and having extra stuff for them to use.

[@TyFromTennessee]

What a great road trip! I sure hope that other rider is ok. Your enthusiasm is awesome. Great channel!!

[@Boysenberr]

Seeing a rider down is never pleasant; it does. however, remind one to be cautious and never to take safety for granted. This was, for me, quite an insightful video. I think you did a fine job in introducing Hao and Kristen to mountain riding. Cute ending, by the way!

[@gerdine9258]

This had the chillest vibe from all your road trips. I really hope I will meet another women so chill like you who takes me on drives like this when I get my license.

[@bigjames6719]

That was pretty awesome doodle I’m glad there’s new riders around I’m glad the ladies are actually getting out there exploring can’t wait to your next video you ladies be safe ride safe out there ✌️

[@jessicaf3979]

Been watching your videos for awhile, love seeing more women riders and learning tips and tricks. I just got a Suzuki SFV650, my 2nd bike, I started on a Buell Blast. I am 5' 1.5" and watched every video I could about riding taller bikes. I love my new bike and I keep coming back to your channel to learn, thank you!

[@QuadeQuick]

We spent a week with the bikes in NC and had a great time... one day we hit NC, SC, GA, and TN... the roads are amazing! Loved the video - you three were great together.

[@kenharris6713]

It is nice to see new riding working through their comfort zones. Nice video and congrats to the young ladies.

[@peterbudd44]

Just found your channel ... Brilliant to watch , love the down to earth , love the attitude . I had bikes in the past and you've made me want another . All the best from Bath , England .

[@shelleyramos7808]

Love your channel!! I just started riding (got my endorsement in December last year) and I always feel more comfortable seeing other women riding and small ones at that! I'm hoping over time people will stop being "scared for me" because of how tiny I am riding a bike. Keep proving we can do it too and well at that :)

[@rugged04270]

What a champion of the hobby! Great to see someone like you taking newer people under their wing, sharing gear, teaching what you know. Just my opinion but when riding with new riders it's a good idea to have them lead, it prevents them from over-riding their abilities to keep up.

[@cmar4076]

Looks like you ladies had fun! I love to see you helping to support and encourage new riders like that. 😊

[@markohd1075]

I always have the belief that you are invisible and need to make yourself visible. While people like matching their bike, I believe in bright colors and added lights. Do not be afraid to use the horn either if someone is not looking at the road. I seen so many people glued to the phone while riding.

[@eliodimacali7077]

Love seeing ladies represent! Thank you for being such a good ambassador for your fellow lady riders and motorcycling as a whole.

[@chrishutchinson8757]

I loved this video! Great comradery and very entertaining. I rode dirt bikes as a late teen and early into college. I just bought a dual sport KLX 250 and took it out on the main road for the first time today. It’s definitely an around town/trail bike, but it is great for getting back into riding as I am 50 years old now. It was a blast! I enjoy your videos, thank you!

[@tommybrian1]

Looks like a great time on your ride, be safe, great videos😊

[@rosx3245]

I love this video so much! It’s refreshing seeing women that want to ride for the sake of riding while being geared up. Great one doodle!

Great to see you leading now. You've come a long way. Sorry you had to see that but glad you are all wearing your gear. I had a freak high side once and landed directly on my face. I was wearing full gear and immediately got up and walked away with only a sore wrist so gear does make a huge difference.

[@fullmetalshorte]

Love your videos! About to get my first bike after taking my MSF, watching your videos helped me to get on a bike as a short girl as well! Can't wait till I am able to take my turn on the lovely Georgia Mountain roads as well!

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Congrats on passing that MSF course!

@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle thank you!! I also had the same instructor as you. He was very sweet and helped a lot :)

Glad to see you have a few buddies to ride with. Sorry to see the accident but they happen. Please don't dwell on these. If you ride safely, you should be fine. Your videos are FAB!!!!

I love the music when you saw the sheriff's car 😂😂😂 and the eyelash bit at the end. Great video and editing. Hope the guy was okay. 🙏

[@thomasbrooksjr380]

Doodle when you pulled up with your camera swaying, my mind just thought of Mary Poppins, and the spoonful of sugar song came to mind because your such a dang ol sweetheart. I clicked because i knew there was going to be some form of 🌤.. and i was not disappointed, we need more of this in this world.. although a scantly clad biker chick randomly popping up in one video i won't get too upset 😅 im kidding. Im almost 90 % positive you and Cody must have been former ninjas in your past lifes.. 😄. Your a great Ambassador Carolyn keep shining your little light 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@dukie1616]

You were great with them, encouraging and a good leader. You’re right there isn’t much deference between men and women riders. Except I usually don’t tell my day riding bros their eyelashes are beautiful.. even if they are😉 This was a good video. Thank you

[@glennbrooks3615]

Cool channel!! I'm home recovering from a motorcycle accident, I hit a tree.. so I'm living vicariously through everyone else's videos!! It's awesome to see riders helping eachother!! And guiding eachother through new experiences. There are so many things you have to do yourself, but that doesn't mean no one can take the journey with you. I subbed, and look forward to more videos.

[@hellkath]

Love your vids! Recently got back to riding myself after a 10 year or so hiatus and it’s strangely been a little stressful getting back to a bike where I can only put one tippy toe on the ground but watching you made me hopeful Ill get over the fear and get back to fully enjoying riding again. Also love how this isn’t about half dressed girls looking to sell bikes and actual riders. Keep up the great work!

[@eafc2112]

I really miss riding in the GA mountains. My wife and I lived in Canton GA for a few years, 5 minutes and you're on amazing roads.

[@themotorcyclemaiden9162]

Really liked this video! For me as I still consider myself a newbie, I loved seeing you taking new riders along and showing/sharing the roads with them. I went down a few months ago on my new to me bike and today decided to get back on and give it another go. I related to the conversation at the pizza break (not really having friends that ride) I especially loved the “you have long lashes” moment 😝 we always have time for the girly stuff! loved how you ask if they were ok, and if they were cold. Looking forward to more girl ride videos.

[@glenncharles6622]

Love it. Your videos are fantastic and so inclusive!!

[@jasonshortphd]

The 91 octane for the Tiger is RON (we don’t use that measure here in US). You can use regular gas here in the US. We use the AKI index in the US. Nice job getting them out of their comfort zone a bit. And the Tiger has so much storage you brought a wardrobe with you!

Thanks. I was surprised at that number when I heard it.

So glad EMS was in the scene and you 3 didn't have to go into Dan Dan the Fireman mode. Are or have you taken any classes like his? You're so inspiring to others especially women.
