Dude, my wife and i LOVE your content. Honestly one of a very few channels that I watch all of your videos. Love the pork chop express lol I want to name my bike but do t feel the need lol. I don't even know if its male or female, i respect its privacy lol. Btw watched your nieces video,i think it was her first, she did a great job, you are teaching her well. New sub for her. Anyways, keep up the strong work brother, stay safe, keep wheels on the ground and your feet on the pegs.

My wife and I used to take a couple of big motorcycle trips every summer. We live in Iowa. Went to Asheville for a big Honda rally one time. She rode her first 1500 Goldwing there in the mountains. After we got back, she bought her first 'wing, a 1997 Aspencade. Epic trip !

What a trooper she was. I was stationed in Oklahoma and had orders to a school in Charleston SC. A friend I worked with also had to go to same school. He was from Wa State and had never been east of Mississippi River. I asked he wanted to ride the scoot, he said sure. I had a Suzuki GS 1100 trimmed out with fairing etc. His eyes were as big a saucers at some of the sites. It is great to take someone on that experience. Loved the comment "save some panic for later" Some rain gear might have allowed her to be a little warmer and cut wind. For me everything looks better on the bike. Happy trails.

Motorcycles are about joy 🤩 and the very reason you ride with all your senses wide full open, not just the machine and cocoon you inadvertently put yourself into. Thank you HTW, for bringing out the joy of riding sharing your true passion for our sport.

First week, the stereo went out and the fuel pump started leaking. I guess it's misses Dad and I'm gonna have to earn Her trust lol. But I love it. Compliments My Sportster perfectly.

I loved the entire video. Thank you. You will never forget that experience and will be telling that story to friends. From the emotion in your voice I could feel your adventure. This is why we ride !

I live in Idaho, There are a lot of really beautiful places over there. What's the best ride that I have ever taken was through the Redwood Forest in Northern California. And then Up the Oregon coastline. I know that it seems like it's on the other side of the world, Florida feels like that for me when it comes to my bike. but if you've never done that ride, put it on your bucket list.

I was on my own road trip, riding into Sally on my 2016 Indian Chieftain, from the Maryland/Virginia State line to Blairsville, GA so I could ride the Tail of the Dragon, you know, in a tropical storm. I had nothing but trouble with my cameras, so I got nothing from my Akaso (GoPro knockoff) and only 5 minutes of the Tail of the Dragon. Still, I said a lot of the same things you did along the way. I really needed that road trip and it was definitely the adventure I needed. I'll say it my way, which is close to yours: that trip was irresponsible and dangerous and ill-advised but there was one big reason to do it and that was reason enough, because IT WAS WORTH IT. I'm glad you made it back safe, and it's pretty cool knowing that we were on the same roads in the same storm. I look up to you a bit, so that means a lot to me.

Go to the east side of Charleston WV and ride the backroads following the river... best roads to bike through and lots of small coal mining towns with all the ambiance you could hope for.

North Carolina is terrible on two wheels at night. But not just two wheels it sucks in a car too. The rain just makes it worse dear lord. I love your channel man. And your videos! I hope when I move down there I get to run into you at some point. I love riding in the mountains back home though. Getting to hear someones outside perspective on it makes me wish I hadn't grown up there and got to experience it. Not that I had a bad life there but I just feel like I don't get to enjoy it the same way you did. But man those views are gonna be something I miss. Keep living life to the fullest man you're the best and I'm glad you shared this with everyone!

If and when you do this again, take I-40 through north Carolina and Tennessee. If you thought west Virginia was nice you'll fall in love with I-40.

Girl on the back needed some sort of rain suit to keep the wind from going through her clothing. Made the mistake of underpacking once on a bike trip and was freezing my ass off. Finally put on my rain suit and it made all the difference in the world.😬

Watched part two, Asheville my childhood home town. Know exactly where you came out of the BRP into Asheville. And know the weather well lol. I enjoyed your adventure and thanks for taking me along. I posted in first video so I will keep this one short. I really really enjoyed these and your attitude. Didnt get to meet Jess when I came thru Ohio in August but hope to next summer when I head back. I have friends in Tampa as well so dont be surprised if this dude hits you up on day for a handshake and cold one! Stay safe and keep that energy and vibe flowing!

This video and the other one inspired me. Couldn’t take the bike, but finally got off two days in a row. Grabbed the truck and took off on a 16 hour trip to Tennessee. The road is freedom, and the bike is the key, but just getting out of here helped blow off some steam.

I'm a Virginia guy and we ride the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah valley regularly. Its great to see you appreciate it. I think we take it for granted most of the time but seeing it through your camera and watching you experience it make me appreciate it that much more. Glad you made it home safe.

Absolutely Amazing Brother! Memories you'll have forever. We truly do live in a beautiful country if you take the time to look. And to make it even better, on a 30+ year old GoldWing, basically trouble free. That's why I love my 85 Interstate. So happy you took us along on this epic journey!

Very nice video trip.I live in the mountains of VA, on the border of WVA, and I have taken my '81 Goldwing Interstate on all the roads here, from I-81 & I-77, & on all the backroads to visit friends and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a great handling machine anywhere I ride it. I have done complete rebuilds of the suspension, carbs, cables, brakes, and other wear & tear items to keep the original handling and performance. Just sold it last week to make more room for the next project bike, and I will definitely miss it until I get a replacement.

Hey shade tree, maintenance items on the 1200 that shut you down are the stator, stator to regulator harness, regulator, no oil in the rear differential, fork seal failure. Lack of maintenance and age are it’s biggest killers. Mostly electrical as you found out. Keep the fluids full!

I’ve always lived by this philosophy. Always expect to fail. Because if you do you will never be disappointed. But if you expect to fail and you succeed you will always be proud of the work you’ve put into whatever you’re trying to achieve.
