Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@CORYOTR]

Awesome series! El Cosmico in Marfa looks like a really cool place. I’m definitely going to have to check that out.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I highly recommend El Cosmico. I think there’s a music festival there in the fall.

[@jimmyl1606]

You’re awesome! I had recently gotten my motorcycle license for about 2 months now and the longest trip I’ve done was San Francisco to San Diego. I started on a 2019 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec.

[@CrunchMoto]

Sounds like you had a good trip too. Thanks for watching!

[@oscars6030]

Just came across your channel.. hooked from day one - thru day 7. Thank you sooo much for taking us in the amazing adventure. Rookie rider and of a Harley too.. look forward to riding in your confidence level when it just comes second nature seems like! Thanks again brother 😎 Oh.. and was touched to see when you got to your lil crunches 😎

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like the series

[@GilstrapGarage]

Just watched the entire series straight through. What a rad journey! It’s on the bucket list to go coast to coast on my Harley

[@CrunchMoto]

Sounds like you have a plan! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@LonestarTaino]

Riding a motorcycle you have to be paying attention, any mistake can be very costly. That is what makes it worth it.

[@CrunchMoto]

It’s really hard to explain to folks who don’t ride.

[@erichurst398]

Awesome trip, really enjoyed it. you have a new subscriber.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@Michael-st1hl]

Looks like you averaged 414 miles per day. Thats a nice pace on a motorcycle without beating yourself up. I did Chicago to the Florida Keys and back in 1977 on a 750 Honda F Super Sport. Only difference is I left in cold weather with no windshield, no credit card, no cell phones then and only $500 in my pocket. The first day rode 547 miles to Asheville Tennessee and was so cold my knees couldn’t bend to get off the bike and my hands where so cold I literally couldn’t sign my name at the hotel front desk! That was my first day. lol

[@CrunchMoto]

Love it! Sounds like a memorable trip. Thanks for watching my videos!

[@tjohn2099]

You nailed it with right amounts of riding, hosting (thanks for telling us about what you saw) and music. I just wish more adventure touring videos were like yours. And most important, you did it on a hog. Proper. Thank you.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I tried making this series interesting enough for people who ride and those who don’t.

[@stephensmith60]

I just joined your adventure, San Diego to Jacksonville. How cool??! I too would love to do some Touring like that. You're doing that on what seems, the Perfect Bike! I currently have a Goldwing but have had Harleys in the past. I think Harleys make Better Touring bikes. Love the H.D. rumble on the open road. Glad you made it without incident. Watch that Gas Gauge a little more often! Ha! 👍🤗. Thanks for sharing.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching. Gold wing is a pretty capable bike too. Ride safely!

[@stephensmith60]

@@CrunchMoto Poor ventilation on the newer G.W.s The rider bakes. Honda has some things to go back to the drawing-board to change/correct. Later.

[@bradlozano2571]

I really enjoyed your 7 part video...Well done Bro👍

[@CrunchMoto]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

[@shem8028]

Glad you made it. That I 1o through Florida is hard because it's so uneventful black top. Awesome journey, awesome series.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! Admittedly, I could have US-98 along the FL Gulf Coast to break up I-10 a bit… but it was Spring Break week and just didn’t want to deal with traffic. It was also the last day of the trip and was ready to be with my family.

[@shuckytuber3053]

I literally watched your entire journey from San Diego to Atlantic Beach Florida. Wow! What an amazing ride. I don’t think I could of done it despite how beautiful most of the landscape was during your ride! I live in Jacksonville and ride both a road king and a street glide. Thanks for sharing!

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed. Give it a shot someday, you might surprise yourself. Cheers

[@Thomasj876]

What an amazing journey, glad you made it safely there, congratulations 😎

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks again for watching! Glad you liked it.

[@mitchlee1062]

Just subscribed I bought a pair of vulcan 1500s about 2 months ago and gave one to my dad hoping to do a cross Canada trip and make memories with him have to wait 5 months so these videos will have to do for now🤙

[@CrunchMoto]

Congrats! Enjoy the ride.

[@FC64002]

Nothing eats the miles like a king!!! I miss mine

[@CrunchMoto]

Agreed. Though at times I consider trading for a Road Glide.

[@TexHoss1]

That is about 2500 miles the route you took. Nice ride

[@CrunchMoto]

2905 miles, but who’s counting? 😁 Thanks for watching!

[@TexHoss1]

@@CrunchMoto Well riding 2905 on a scooter in 7 days is pretty steady riding. I thought you run across the country at a pretty durn good pace. I am a retired trucker & most truckers today hardly do 3000 miles a week in 7 days. I have done a lot more than that but that was the old days where we did illegal stuff to do it. With trucks having the big fuel tanks so they would only would fuel up twice in that time span. You definitely had a lot more fuel stops. Good video.

[@rocketsurgeon71]

That was pretty cool you passed a SpaceX booster. Awesome series.

[@CrunchMoto]

Ah- that makes sense. I figured it was some kind of rocket or oil rig equipment. Thanks for clearing that up 🚀

[@brickmason4410]

That was badass man.. I want to do that soon.. Bike did great... You made it seem so easy.. thanks for spending the time to vid the thing..

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it!

[@keithcarter8813]

Your videos have been awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope to one day ride coast to coast, looks like an adventure, to be had.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! I hope you get to take your trip soon!

[@andyd.5642]

nice! i really enjoyed watching and i was impressed with your bike it sounded good throughout your entire journey.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! The bike was performed flawlessly the whole trip.

[@paineys3341]

Just watched all 7 videos back-to-back and really enjoyed your trip, I was meant to have done a round country trip last year, postponed this year, but as I am a Brit had to delay again till next year as I cannot get back out to our home in Tampa right now! What was great about your trip was some of it is on my planned trip BTW I am doing Tampa - Sturgis - Glacier NP - Yosemite - Zion - 3 Sisters - New Orleans - Tampa, looks about 10,000 miles without a weeks riding in Sturgis.... Can't wait

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! Your trip sounds amazing, good luck and ride safe! Cheers

[@johnmcgillivray5077]

Great videos of your trip (watched them all). I bought the same bike about 2 weeks ago and that got me to your page. Watched the series, subscribed, and will watch some more 😄 Keep sharing your rides with us!

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching and riding along. Enjoy your new bike!

[@JimmyKI5PRK]

What an amazing trip. Thank you for sharing. I have a big trip coming up in September. I’m riding from Austin TX to LA and then up the PCH to Seattle. From Seattle back to Austin through Utah and Colorado. I’ll be riding about 5,000 miles in total. Watching you adventure has me ready to get on the bike and ride. Thanks again.

[@CrunchMoto]

Awesome! You’re trip sounds great. Thanks for watching and Go Gators!

[@MyOwn2Wheels]

Great video and nice to meet you. See you around!

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks! You too. Cheers

[@BikerJim74]

I rode from Michigan to Florida 20 years ago on a shitty Suzuki 800cc cruiser. I'm 6 foot 5 lmao. Wasn't fun. but it was worth it

[@CrunchMoto]

Yikes. I can't imagine that. I'm 6'0 and was on a Road King... my knee still hurts 2 months after the ride.

[@NLK_Racing]

DUUUUDE :-) What an awesome series you put together... Coast to coast trip on a Harley is a life long dream of mine, one I hopefully get to achieve(fingers crossed)... Liked and subscribed, and looking forward to more adventures :-)

[@CrunchMoto]

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching, good luck on your trip someday!

[@larebear1902]

Bro, you drove right past the house i grew up in. There's nowhere like the Sunshine State ...

[@CrunchMoto]

Cool. Small world, huh? I know I skipped the riding the FL gulf coast, but it was Spring Break week and I really didn’t want to get stuck in that traffic. Thanks for watching

[@pierreeversole265]

Just watched the entire series. My son and I just made the same trip, except.... we live an hour north of Beaumont, and it was in June. HOT !!! Well done videos, I really enjoyed the journey. Btw.... I ride a Road King as well. Continued safe travels.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! I can’t imagine making that trip in any real kind of heat. I got really lucky with the weather… until Florida.

[@johnmcgillivray5077]

I forgot to ask a question … what size are your handle bars? Mini apes?

[@CrunchMoto]

12 inches I believe

[@PurpleOnThree]

Pretty cool! I would love to do some really long trips when I retire... I enjoy semi long trips now... Coast to coast would be awesome! Seems like it would be more miles than it is actually... Headed on over on OzarksHDRiders' recommendation. 👍🏍️

[@CrunchMoto]

It’s a long way, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching

Awesome trip I’m looking to do the northern route next spring I’d like to follow your track !! Also did you use premium gas ⛽️ and did you change all your fluids prior to your ride

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks! Good luck with your trip. Yes- premium gas and full service before starting an extended road trip.

Just watched all 7 videos. Awesome trip, great job with the videos! Definitely something I wanna do at some point! Just subscribed to make sure I don’t miss any of your future adventures!

Thanks for watching! I love hearing that these videos inspired others.

[@chrisharriman4989]

I just watched all 7 vids - great v-log man! 😎👍 Nobody’s perfect (especially me), but I had one small issue with the vids: The editing was nice, but I had to keep rapidly adjusting the volume during each one so I could either hear what you were saying, or so that my neighbors couldn’t hear it. 😆😵‍💫

[@CrunchMoto]

You’re absolutely right and this is the #1 thing I aim to fix my next time editing. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonjennison9594]

Just watched the whole trip. Now I want to ride it the other way. I live in Daytona beach and want to head the other way loved the small towns and places you hit. How did you plan your route? I admit I will bastardize yours best I can.

[@CrunchMoto]

Thanks for watching! I live on the east coast too. I shipped my bike out to San Diego because I didn’t have enough time to ride both ways and I thought it would be better to start with all the places I’ve never been. My planning was pretty simple. I zoomed in on I-10 on Google Maps and looked for points of interest in the vicinity. Then I looked for the curvy roads that connected those places. Hope this helps!

[@jasonjennison9594]

@@CrunchMoto great thank you. Will take some planning but worth it. The idea of shipping bikes out is also a good one. Prevents the need to ride back. Hope you rode this weekend and stayed dry.

[@CrunchMoto]

@@jasonjennison9594 if have the time to ride round trip, you can see twice as much stuff… I’d love another opportunity to swing through Gila National Forest… and I’m told I missed the best part of Big Bend National Park.
