Your editing did the trick. The videos were really well put together. And the music picks were spot on!!

2nd this!

[@coachron3524]

Agreed! His music was perfect, editing was perfect, I really enjoy all 3 and this one!

[@kronyq2_60]

A lot of his songs make up my riding Playlist so I feel this

[@Timmycom]

This is AMSR for Bikers. It's simple, average of about 4 seconds a cut (which are quite long cuts) and makes a slow paced feeling that helps us absorb. Like each clip is a moving photograph. Ode to a memory of a thing. I'm inspired. For so many videos are there for the sake of fame and prosperity. "To be the KZbinr and be monotized" I feel like yours are the old school feelings of what KZbin was when it was founded. Amatures making videos of their lives for the sake of the fun of it. For the memories to be shared. This is the kind of video I could make. I wish I had done something like this on my Russian trip. But your experience is so valuable for my plans to do the same. Thank you for your content!

your cross country roadtrip really helped me go through a tough situation, I was facing, it was a beautiful and inspiring distraction, I’m only 19, and I can’t even ride a bike, but hopefully someday I’ll be getting my own motorcycle, and doing my own cross country roadtrip, so thank you, for being a great inspiration.

[@LazyJack2003]

Hi Jake, can´t see any reason for embarrassment. Very authentic. Stay that way. And once you get used to seeing and hearing yourself on the video I could see a new career starting for you. As far as "planing the trips" is concerned : You already mentioned it, - you wished you had had more time. So, to all of you out there who plan a Bike Trip: don´t make the classic mistake and go easy on the miles/day! Depending what is there to visit and see along the road I find 200 miles /320 km already more than enough. Of course, if you travel on a German Highway to get to some place (and depending on the bike you ride) 600 miles is also possible. But if you are cruising twisties in the Alps - take your time! Good luck Jake , and good luck all. Greetings from Europe.

[@jakeridesaway]

Thanks so much for the kind words! And for watching! Will do my best to keep that encouragement in mind for the next one 🙌 fully agree with those mileage tips! Ride safe out there

Hi Jake, Suzze and I have been riding ) camping far and wide for some years now. We identify with what you do. Been to many of the places you've been to. You are to be congratulated. We love your humble approach to travel. Your stories and how you present yourself. Keep in touch as NZ welcomes you. Plenty of room in the Inn 👍🏍️🏍️

[@alainwagener]

These last few days, I've watched your videos of your cross country trip. Loved what I saw, loved the music ... it was a fantastic moment of escaping everytime. I've never been in the USA, I feel I did it a bit with your videos. This was great. Thank you from Belgium

[@seethebutter]

What a great story. Thank you for sharing it. I quit my job in 1986 and rode cross country for 3 months. 13,000 miles. Giant counterclockwise loop starting from DC on a 1984 Moto Guzzi V65SP. Your videos bring back so many memories, I am so grateful for that. I turn 62 next week and hope after I retire to do it again, maybe not so much camping LOL and on an 850 Guzzi not 650. Cheers!

[@williamting953]

Thank you Jack, I am from China and I get a lot of inspiration from your videos. You let me understand that many times travel is about taking action instead of always worrying that you don't have much equipment or time. I believe that one day I will be able to go to the United States for a motorcycle trip, and I look forward to meeting you on the road~😎

[@hunkyleepickle]

Even as an avid motorcycle adventurer/travel rider, with dozens of big and small trips under my belt, your series was inspiring. It got me thru a tough year and a half without any travel, motorcycle or otherwise. And while i understand the western construct of 'travel for leisure' is incredibly self indulgent by a global perspective, time away on a motorcycle in the wild places of the world is truly good for my mental health. Thanks for keeping that alive just when it was needed.

[@jakeridesaway]

Thanks so much for the kind words Greg, I'm glad you found some solace in these videos during all of this! It's been a tough go for sure. Hoping you're able to find some adventure soon!

[@colinculverwell325]

Really enjoyed your videos. I've been riding since 1975 and have done quite a few road trips here in UK but came to the US in 2019, about the same time as your trip to ride route 66. Had never been to the US before or ridden a Harley but had a great time. We saw some wonderful places and met some great people along the way. Incredible experience. Plan to come back and do some more at some point. I would encourage anyone thinking about a trip to just go for it. Life is not a rehearsal and will be over sooner than you think.
