I was expecting to see a burger in there somewhere :-). Must have been in the lost footage :-). Keep up the good work! Thx for sharing.

[@motogeo]

This was the adventure that started it all 🍔 👍

[@cgeo3380]

Those were pure years! Now everyone is so consumed by smartphones and what everyone else is doing! Thanks for the journey down memory lane! You are a pure adventurer! Your passion for motorcycles is contagious!

[@motogeo]

Thanks bud ✌

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

In 1990 I did almost the same trip in reverse from Marina del Rey CA to Ocean City Maryland only my bike was an '86 Ninja 600. I too froze my ass off in Flagstaff. Good times.

[@motogeo]

Great stuff, well done

[@denvertravis-uz4im]

Yes! Jamie please bring back more of your older videos like the one you road all around California with your friend from the UK about a decade ago.

[@motogeo]

More to come 👍

[@dennisclaor2502]

​@@motogeo old videos right? 😂😂😂😂

[@mhw0508]

yeah i cant find the one where he was at the national park and slid down the water fall i think in sequoia national forest

[@garyhope0103]

Great blast from the past Jamie. A good idea showing some of the original videos, bring them on.

[@motogeo]

Thanks, many more videos to come

[@nctexan1970]

This is the video that got me to follow you. What an adventure! Cheers

[@motogeo]

Awesome, amazing, thanks

[@mustardbackpack]

About time you put this on youtube. I remember watching this years ago on some other website and loved it, but couldn't find it later. It actually inspired me to fly to the other side of the country, buy a bike, and ride it home. Been following your videos ever since.

[@motogeo]

That is awesome to read and I'm so pleased that you did that, well done 👍

[@theadventurecooperative]

Such a great adventure.

[@motogeo]

Thanks buddy ✌

[@toney-2759]

Ah Jamie thanks for the wonderful flashback. It was the start to what has proven to be an epic and inspirational journey. As always, I look forward to upcoming adventures. Thank you.

[@motogeo]

Thanks, more m/c adventures to come

[@maxarosio]

I got myself 3 years ago a KLE500 as a first A2 motorcycle here in Italy. Done 25000 km so far. Great engine. Happy to see the same (similar) engine doing such a crazy trip. Unfortunately due to changing regulations in October I not gonna be able to use it to commute to work in Milan. But I hope I find a solution to keep it even tho I gonna need to buy something newer (maybe a street twin 900 or a cb650r )

[@motogeo]

A reliable engine for sure

[@jojitsu56]

Best video ever!

[@EZRider68]

Awesome! You always make me hungry to ride. Love your vids and style

[@motogeo]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@thetrailbuzzard]

Love the old vid! A lot younger there. Keep ridin' and keep the vids comin!

[@motogeo]

Time waits for no one, make it fun, more videos to come

[@stevec-b6214]

Great fun! You would never meet such kind folk if you never broke down. The biking community is AWESOME.

[@motogeo]

Yep, I agree, good people everywhere

[@tonynjanet]

Great to see the 'roadtrip video' making a come back. Love the camping, cooking and riding. Have missed them recently. Maybe recreate that first journey on a better bike with better video? Any chance?

[@motogeo]

Maybe, or take Connie back to NY??

[@tonynjanet]

Brilliant.

[@wimmm72]

I'd love to see the "Joshua Tree" episode on the Tiger 1200 again.i loved the whole atmosphere,the camera work,the music.it's not on the channel anymore.Would be lovely to see the older stuff reposted/uploaded again.

[@magellanicspaceclouds]

Unintentionally, you made the best ad possible for that motorcycle dealer in Albuquerque. They seem like great dudes!

[@kurtyoung6769]

Wow, I haven't seen this one before. We met in Colorado at Animas Forks ghost town. You gave my grandson a ride on the desert X.

[@motogeo]

Pleasure to meet you

[@riccardonegri7470]

I remember the adventure to big sur, I was inspired by that and few years later I managed to go there too (from Italy)! Thanks and good luck

[@motogeo]

Thanks for watching and supporting

[@FourIntoOne]

Wow. How long ago was this? 1850 or so I reckon. Jamie is actually 12 years old here. Things have come a very long way since then, mostly in image stabilisation 🤣

[@motogeo]

15 years ago 👍

[@scoooterbob2321]

What a trip. R & S does rock! Cheers from Espanola New Mexico.

[@motogeo]

Thanks bud

[@mhw0508]

Yo! i cant believe i found you again i ve been looking for weeks trying to find your channel again and the 2 videos i remember were the cross country on a "$300" motorcycle and your trip to the sequoia national forest... that was like what 9 years ago?!!!

[@mhw0508]

im stoked

[@piggymito]

Mate that's mint, I've not heard someone say something is "poo" for ages 😂

[@motogeo]

Keeping it G-rated 🤣

[@gonzosk8966]

Properly good stuff!

[@motogeo]

Thanks!

[@PeterVred]

That was amazing! I’m feeling a bit silly for just having spent $11k on a new “adventure bike”, and I’ve barely been out of Illinois. But my sister is in AZ, used to live in Flagstaff, and I’m itching to ride out to visit. Thanks for the nudge.

[@motogeo]

Great stuff, now do something about the itch and just go for a ride 👍

[@themuz3]

I rode my 2005 ex500 from florida to DC when I was 18. Time has made me appreciate how capable those bikes are , and howlittle you need for an adventure. Wrecked mine twice and sold for 800 at 32K. Still on a 500 albeit (gl500). heading up to Pennsylvania Friday.

[@motogeo]

Awesome, safe travels

[@peterjohnwatson4340]

I used to work with roper. Don’t know if it’s the same one but he used to commute daily on an ex500. If it’s the same one that is truly incredible.

[@wimmm72]

How young you looked!🙂 i remember those early beginnings.I've been a fan from way back in the day.

[@motogeo]

2008, a while back right? Thanks for the support 👍

[@tbaerg]

Great blast from the past, Jamie! Have you ever thought about recreating this adventure?? Or a reunion trip with the lads from Lucky B@stards? Those were fun videos back in the day

[@motogeo]

That's a great idea!

[@scottevans8489]

Route 66 is one of the rides I want to do along with HWY 50 and old HWY 80, both of these HWY's go all the way across the country. I will be doing it on my Suzuki DR650.

[@motogeo]

Yes, do them all 👍

[@emperor91108]

When your gear is worth more than your bike.

[@motogeo]

Very true

[@Rider_rodriguez]

Excelente video, yo ayer llegué de un viaje de mi país paraguay a la frontera con Brasil, conocí unas cuantas ciudades de volví ayer , el viaje lo hice en una moto china que valía 600$ una 150cc carburda, la compré en el año 2020 y viajo con ella por todo el país, incluso ya. Fui también a montecarlo argentina

[@motogeo]

👍👌❤

[@MtbPoland]

Reminds me my first travel across Poland on a Chinese 125cc 🙂Wind and rain almost killed me 🙂

[@motogeo]

Lessons learned from ever adventure 👍

[@cxns155]

A lot of coast-to-coast motorcycle videos popping up in my feed. Starting to think it's a sign, lol. Which do I take across the country, the Bonneville or the Speed Triple? Both fuel-injected.

[@motogeo]

It must be a sign.... I'd take the Bonny, fit dual-sport tires and go on and off-road as you expore 👍 Safe travels

[@Dave-sw2dm]

Looks like bykerbabe didn't survive, bit motogeo is still here.

[@Weltbummler23]

I 100% would have removed that nail while u were in a shop. On a trip like that u never know when ull hit a rough road. A bump at the wrong place on that tire would easily cause a headache.

[@HilltopZombieShop]

Who was that kid in the video?

[@motogeo]

🤣

[@dennisclaor2502]

This is no longer an updated shot, Im i right?? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@philhagoes9339]

What was the point behind $200 budget? Great ride!

[@motogeo]

Just trying to prove you can have an adventure of a lifetime on little money

[@VVoltz]

Nice! What happened to that bike?

[@motogeo]

I still have 'Connie' fond memories

[@ninosugiat3244]

can you repeat the trip again? by following the same path as before

[@motogeo]

If I did it again, I'd like to take a different path back to the East coast, more off-road and exploration

[@ninosugiat3244]

Yes I will look forward to that trip. keep up the enthusiasm for extraordinary travel stories

[@SuperHappyAmazingFunTime]

What happened to Connie???

[@motogeo]

Don't worry, I still have 'Connie' .....maybe I should get her prepared and travel back to NY?

[@SuperHappyAmazingFunTime]

@@motogeoif you do be sure to change that rear tire!!! Purchased a hat from your website, top notch!

You were a non-resident alien in the US at that time? Can you tell us more about the paperwork required?
