[@dbest1aVlogs]

Nothing like when you get back from a trip, and your wife is standing there waiting for you with a huge smile on her face, and arms open so wide you could fit the world in ... definition of love .... Been there... Thanks for sharing.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thanks. My wife liked your comment

[@jimmymorales459]

Great soundtrack! Every song was a song from my life! I want todo a ride like this some day!

[@delonmajd82]

Congratulations my friend. bravo..✌️🙏✍️

[@timalfrey1874]

Love the music 🎵

[@Knuckledragnation]

Awesome!!! I’ve never seen so many motorcycles pulling trailers behind em! Great video of your trip! I know you guys had a blast! 🙏🇺🇸✌🏽

[@OurRetirementAntics]

We had a great time. This was in 2017 and there have been multiple trips since then. Thanks for watching.

[@Knuckledragnation]

@@OurRetirementAntics That’s awesome. This summer my wife and I took an 8,000 mile, 11 state, 30 day motorcycle trip pulling a trailer through the Pacific North & Southwest. I can fully relate to your experience out on the road. I’ve found it to be one of the most liberating as well as exciting things I’ve done in life. And the icing on the top for me is my wife enjoys riding as well so it just adds the overall experience and out marriage. 🙏🇺🇸✌🏽

Sensational! Thanks for sharing

Wow! That was FREAKEN awesome man. Thanks for taking us along. That's what I call riding. Stay safe out there👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thanks, I going to do the ride again in April

[@MJJR813]

bobbystuff enjoy yourself. That sure was some beautiful country side.

[@wingandhog]

Great video! I live in New Mexico and you showcased it very well. Great riding out here….. be safe!

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thanks, will do!

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

Wow. Just stumbled across this video. Great views and some crazy snow scenes. Be safe and hats off to you both. That's some serious riding.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thank you. I did two more of these. Check out the videos. I recently did a ride from Florida and got good comment regarding it on FB. I have a new GoPro Hero 10 camera and I am doing more narration and trying to tell a story each day. Am planning a 3 week+ trip in Mar/Apr were I will be uploading a video most days. Check them out. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

@@OurRetirementAntics not a problem. I will be on the lookout for more great videos. 👍 be safe and thats for responding

[@wingandhog]

Hi Mo…my turn to run into you on a Wing video that just popped up. Love it!

[@byrondowell583]

Great video and great music. Thanks for taking us along.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thanks for watching

[@larryj8924]

Nice ride and enjoyed being along. Narration throughout the day and at stops would make it even better, Thanks.

[@donaldredd345]

love it!!! getting a wing in february.....this video is motovation!!! WOW LOVE IT!!! THANKS!

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thank You. Are you getting the new Wing?

[@clay1883]

Thanks for the ride. We have ridden out west on our '13 Wing on some of those same roads. The temptation is to ride 80 mph or more because of the distances and flat straight roads. I noticed that you were putting down some asphalt too! But pulling a trailer, my 'Wing is pretty hard on gas above 75 mph. I'll have to slow down this year with gas at $4 or more! Happy Trails!

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Mine is a 2016. The trailer grosses about 250 lbs, I weight about 240 lbs and I have the F4 plus windshield. I get an average of about 34 mpg on these long trips in the west.

[@sierrafoxtrotgolf3638]

In July (2019) I rode my bike form Mountain Iron, MN to Boise, ID and my wife flew out to meet me. After 4 days with family she flew home and I rode home via Nez Perce National Forest (central Idaho) and Glacier National Park. What an awesome experience. July of 2020 I'll ride to Oak Island, NC and my wife will join me there.

[@thurmancarson1807]

That was a very beautiful ride

[@Djamoekjouw.]

Realy nice!.....you did what i dream off!

[@MichelServiere]

Thanks for the ride !

[@larrybradley2929]

Thanks for the video, showed several guys at work. All agreed, u look just like me. I ride a Harley but have been looking at a GL1800.Ride safe

[@OurRetirementAntics]

If you ride a Wing, you will love it. I did 800+ miles in one day with no problem.

[@aboversite]

Amarillo to Jackson....that was a grunt of a day.

[@alt9874]

Nice ride, you and I have the same taste in music, almost all your tunes are on my playlist :)

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thank you. Doing it again this year and I bought a GoPro Hero 7 so check back later.

[@alt9874]

@@OurRetirementAnticsI'm planning on getting my first GW this summer, I'm eager to get travelling!

[@robertmanigault625]

Your video was awesome. I picked up my Goldwing about a month ago and am itching to go on a long multi-day ride. You’ve inspired me.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

You will really enjoy the Gold Wing if you take any long rides. Set the cruse, crank up the music and enjoy. I am currently on the same trip this year. Thanks for leaving a comment.

[@bigwu100]

So go, what ya waiting for.

[@jamesnusky6257]

very nice ride

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

I envy the trip

[@mengy3007]

Nice video. I've done many cross country trips like it, so watching yours makes me long for the road. I ride a Harley but have been contemplating trading for a '18 Goldwing, still haven't made my mind up yet.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thanks for the comment. Gold Wings are very comfortable for long trips. Did you see the video I did for the 2018 trip.

[@georgeweber4179]

Nice video. I'm thinking of doing the four corners of the US next year. Makes me ready to go now! I live in Maine.

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Thank You. I did one for my 2018 ride also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3zYqIWbr9aGa6c

[@hectorvazquez1992]

beatiful

[@bubblehead7680]

Nice vid. What were you using for music for this ride? Also, did you split from the group and ride back alone?

[@OurRetirementAntics]

I used the iHeart radio app on my phone. T-Mobile does not charge data for most music services. I rode most of the trip separate from the main groups. I like to stop a lot to take photos. Thanks for watching the video

[@coyote102076]

So why did you all have to have a NM police escort? Cool vid! Looked like a great trip!

[@OurRetirementAntics]

It was just one of the things the organizer set up. It was pretty neat

[@vernebrown4441]

Thanks for the vid, Loved the sunset and bike at 7:03. How did you mount the camera? Was nice and stable. Still looking how to mount the Hero 5 I have for my GL1800 Goldwing. Thanks Verne

[@OurRetirementAntics]

I mounted the camera to a tripod screw on about a 4 inch RAM Mount arm attached to a RAM Mount ball on the clutch handle. I also taped a lead fishing weight to the 4 inch arm to dampen the vibration. I put the camera on the handlebars behind the windshield to avoid wind noise.

[@vernebrown4441]

Thanks you, I'm looking at using a ram type mount that replaces the master cly cover. I think the lead weight is the key. Taped high or low on arm?

[@OurRetirementAntics]

Really don't remember but probably higher is better. But behind the windshield is key to avoid wind noise.

[@jimcaulk6225]

Dude, you should have narrated it....

[@alanroberts7916]

all these videos get ruined when these guys just have got to play some loud obnoxios music...ID RATHER HEAR A FART. OR how about the sound of an engine instead??? would it kill you to make a decent bike vid???

[@bigwu100]

Texas is sooooo boring, just miles and miles of Texas.
