Epic Motorcycle Tour - United States (east coast, northern border, west coast)

[@2WheelPursuit]

The craziest part of this is that you did it on a R NINE T! This just goes to show you can have an awesome adventure on almost ANY motorcycle. It doesn't just need to be a big cruiser or ADV bike! Awesome video man. Thank you for making this!

[@lange-travel-posts]

Actually, as I stayed off highways as much as I could, the R nineT was perfect ... with the extra Air seat ;)

[@vadimhult4206]

This is a trip of a lifetime well done, money comes and goes but the memories always stays 👍

[@Pathological_Flyer]

I like your style ! I really appreciate how you condensed a 3 week trip into 30 minutes. I caught myself smiling a few times😊

[@lange-travel-posts]

Thank you! I was wondering if the 10x acceleration would work - that is pretty fast to watch. But anything slower would have been to much footage to deal with. Even with 10x, I had about an hour video per day to reduce to 2 min. I thought that would be easy and fast, but actually took me more than a day to process. The processing took more time than the trip. So I am really happy people like it!

[@scottbrown651]

This was so well done, and helpful for those of us looking to embark on a similar trip for the first time.

[@lange-travel-posts]

I appreciate! That was what I was hoping for. Thank you!

[@jn1982]

This is a perfect tour summary. Thank you for sharing your trip. I'm on East Coast of the US and our mountains are the jewel of our area.

[@lange-travel-posts]

The Blue Ridge Highway was amazing and those views ;)

[@terryabernathy2967]

A coworker and i did all 48 states and 5 provinces in Canada back in the 80s. Did this over a 10 years period since we only had 2 weeks vacation a year and wanted to take our time. Truly memories that will last a lifetime, like the night camping in Monument Valley, when a horse near the tent started snorting and I pulled open the flap, turned on a flashlight only to be looking at two red eyes, and a low growl that said you better turn that off and mind your own business. When you’re eye level with a coyote you better listen! I rode a BMW R80 RT and he rode a Goldwing. So hot in a Nevada desert when we stopped to eat OUTSIDE we started throwing water on each other to cool off, only to be bone dry a mile down the road. So cold in Yellowstone we couldn’t tie a fly on the fishing line, only to be rescued by a next door camper with coffee and lighter fluid to start a fire, and yes we did catch a Trout. MEMORIES don’t get me started.😊

[@cibsim]

Memories are the only thing that matters when we are old and cannot ride anymore. Take care!

[@11BravoJake]

Great video and an amazing trip! I just drove (a car) from Seattle to San Diego in October. It was a bucket list trip and I loved it. The beauty of the Oregon coast was a shock

[@PritamPatil-le3fm]

I am a Indian watching form india. I like your style of motovlog. No timepass pure one video. I hope one day I will travel whole usa.❤

[@jeffwynings3782]

Man, Brother! I really enjoyed your video. It looks like you had the best time. Please continue to ride safe.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Thanks man! It was a great time! You ride safe too!

[@stephanematis]

Man, what an amazing trip. I know many of those roads, stitched together over 3 continent spanning trips of my own, all done in various small sports cars. Now I see I have to try something like this on a motorbike. Thanks for sharing it all!

[@AlexanderMikhyeyev]

it was wonderful! This is my dream for my 50 for the next year, shared this video with Toronto GTA team. Thank you Sir and safe roads!

[@timwinters4653]

Splendid job in every way!! Thanks for all your effort and the joy you shared in this experience.

[@ilanfriedman114]

Incredible trip, incredible video. I love the detail regarding packing and planning, and the detailed breakdown of price. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@RegiMarxi]

Hi Holger, klasse, dass wir hier im Pott durch das Video deinen Mega - Trip miterleben konnten!!

[@lange-travel-posts]

Ja super dass es euch gefallen hat ;)

[@lange-travel-posts]

Naechstes Mal dabei?

[@cibsim]

Tout un voyage, mon ami. Les descriptions sont fantastiques, bien étoffées. I will be in Florida, Sunny Isles in January 2025. Here, in Ontario, it is winter. My Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX is in my garage until April...

[@SnapShawwtyTv]

I really enjoyed this brother please continue filming your journey even if it’s not a long video ..this is like therapy to me lol 👏🏾🙏🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🏆✊🏾

[@fishsaysn0]

Thanks for sharing with us. What a wonderful adventure.

[@RYwoodview]

I really like the way you condensed the video & narrative. I'm sure you had to skip over much good material. You demonstrate that such a long, scenic trip is very doable. Thank you!

[@lange-travel-posts]

Even with the video footage recorded at 10X I had about 25 hours of video to go through - about 1h condensed to 2 min. Thank you!

[@Vova3iLvova]

thanks for taking us with you on the trip

[@davidwood974]

Amazing trip for sure, thank you for sharing!

[@adamdahl3080]

Thank you sharing this wonderful trip, Holger! I really enjoyed this :)

[@clayfarnet970]

Great video, incredible trip. It’s exactly what I’d like to do. There’s no need to suffer the old like that. All you need to do is drop in a 2nd hand store or donation store and buy a few mid layers or jacket for a cup of coffee. Donate it back near your last stop. 👍👍

[@abdulrahmanaljamea8458]

Thanks for sharing,, very nice non boring vlog,, accurate details even the cost of coffee 😂 which i think it's important to other travellers who want to do the same adventure,, good job 👍👍

[@r4ytje]

Awesome job taking us along

[@internetcruiser]

What a great trip. Thanks for sharing. Hoping for more videos from you. 👍

Fantastic!! Its a great trip, and tank you for sharing!!!!

[@mikesbo1]

Good job, Holger Lange. I hope you take more of these trips and document it as well as you have this one. My wife and I enjoyed it.

[@leshenits1929]

Sehr schoen. Bravo. Gute Reise!

[@lange-travel-posts]

Vielen Dank!

[@natflang]

Well done!

[@martinjackson2772]

Holger , wow, what a truly brilliant route! Certainly gives a great plan for touring the states with the wife when we retire. Must admit though we may take a longer time, age does that to you! Great descriptions too, many thanks buddy. 👏

[@eroberobe6931]

Epic tour! Thank you for sharing.

This is the bike that ignited my love of Motorcycling😊 Another KZbinr Sidestand had one. Lovely bike. Fantastic tour. Thanks for sharing 👍

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

[@motorcyclesandguitars1892]

Hallo Holger, tolles Video und super organisierter Trip. Knaller!

[@movem1]

I enjoyed your commentary and fantastic video. What a ride and very insightful. Your system worked great and the mileage is truly impressive. I think a GS and micro-down jacket is in your future! Hope to see another Coffee / Boston Creme / Diner / Moto / Subway / Beer video from you down the line. Thanks for sharing this awesome ride with us.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Thank you!! For those winding roads the R nineT was just perfect, but you are right I am thinking of a GS for some more off road kind of trips. Oh my choice of gear and probably season was bad ;( I hope I got everybody to crave Boston Cremes after the video.

[@iamwezlee1]

Well done! Thanks for sharing your journey. Was a lot of fun to watch.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Emilio087]

Wonderful route, good biker, and good bike.

[@By.ozalsa]

you’re such an inspirer.. well done 👏🏻

[@Yogi5D]

Thanks for showing us this video it was awesome!

[@andre1987eph]

13:39. You missed the chance to drive up to Boston, then head east through Massachusetts (10x more interesting than CT) along Route 2 to Albany NY. Also, I would have put Maine and Nova Scotia on that trip too. 😀

[@MikeWazowski-RG]

Excellent on letting us know Total cost in the beginning. So now I watch your journey. Big Mac👌😊

[@ImperialCityNord]

Great video

[@JT-et7ui]

Amazing trip! Well done.

Glad you think so!

[@RashadUjaimi]

great trip and a lot of information provided that make it easy for any one to start such a trip, Thank you so much.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Awesome - that is what I tried to accomplish ;)

[@josephfackel6762]

What an awesome trip! I hope you enjoyed your time in America and found its people nice and welcoming!

[@lange-travel-posts]

The US is perfect for riding solo - you always find somebody to talk to ;)

[@rosarioroberto5823]

Greetings, WOW, what a fantastic journey 🇺🇲🎉🍾🇺🇲 . As always another brilliant detailed video production, keep producing more videos.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JayBD626]

Great production and simplistic yet effective style- no annoying music or off-topic segments. Makes me want to do similar on my Harley Heritage 114. I’ve been riding quite a while and prefer a large windscreen and backrest so kudos to you for going the distance without either of those. Curious if you put on much weight after all those great meals and not much if any exercise? Thanks for a great video!

[@ake4679]

What a ride....

[@lautarocuttica9581]

Congrats! I did a similar trip in 2017 highly recomended

[@huites99]

Great job amigo

St. Augustine takes an "e". Nice trip that you did.

[@cibsim]

OK, You corrected your typo later. Sorry man! Wonderful trip with a good description!

[@malinche1547]

Te tengo una envidia enorme. Preciosa aventura en ese viaje. Abrazos

[@mark7362]

Should have gone around the peninsula of Michigan in the great lakes circle tour! Thats a great road trip, up to the upper peninsula, I think that'd be a great motorcycle ride.

[@mark7362]

Also, would have gone to North Dakota to see the teddy roosevelt natl park along I-80 via backroads between 12 & 14, and then go through Montana towards yellowstone

[@stephenscott6570]

I grew up in Roanoke, Va. If memory serves me the name has Indian origin. Roanoke was also know as “Big Lick” because there were some salt deposits that wildlife came to lick. When I was in college at Va Tech, I used to ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway on my Honda on Saturday mornings to Peaks of Otter Lodge for breakfast.

[@Pilot-f3v]

Great trip!

[@billwilliams9527]

Well done Sir!

[@jonakers704]

I have a similar trip planned in my head, but in reverse! I am in Florida, and the plan is to go diagonally across the US to the Oregon coast, then effectively follow your route back to Florida.

[@cdg-hzg]

Amazing trip. You seem to have hit tons of the really scenic places in the U.S. There's more. --- It's a wonder you could get back to Florida with only one seat reserved. Given the stuff you were eating most of the time I figure you must've put on at least 15 kg! 🤣

[@Bfaxi1]

Very Inspiring!

[@paulhoward3413]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@michael-gd9ho]

Thanks for the video...quite a journey! You rode right through my hometown at the start when you were in Cocoa Village.

[@lange-travel-posts]

I love Cocoa Village. We lived in Florida and went a few times ;)

[@MaxDavisCo]

nice ride and video - i keep saying i should ride across the states but living in Santa Cruz and the west has so much to offer maybe just more riding in the west - thanks for posting

[@ronmason1710]

That is a Harley trait. Fast on the straights, slow on the corners. That is why you have to get around them, as they ruin doing the curves.

[@ride129]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video, some of it was within 1/2 mile to my home (Palm Beach). Love the attention to detail including your meals. Cheers!

[@lange-travel-posts]

Nice - I lived in Fort Lauderdale and did a few trips in that area ;)

[@starlordstarlordman8489]

Love the video, double love the fact that you put all the prices in. Half the time that’s half of what I wanna know about anybody’s trip.. Those prices match about what I would think would be reasonable. I think a KZbinr called on the slab went to Alaska recently and he was spending about $200 a day so I think you’re right in the ballpark but thanks a ton for including that and I love the voice over commentary and all the food stops. That’s awesome.. subscribed 😊

[@lange-travel-posts]

Thanks a lot! I tried to provide all the information that I would love to see.

[@CaliforniaRider-c8p]

Amazing!!

[@philip1957]

Fantastic Journey. I hope to a similar trip someday. Phil

[@lange-travel-posts]

I am looking forward to your video ;)

[@SjoerdB-kc1ur]

At first I had to get used to the fast moving footage.. But hey, how else do you summerize thousands of miles. Loved it after just a few minutes. You gave me ideas for my next Europe trip 😎

[@jotel7862]

Did you count the beers? Just for the statistics 😂 honestly this is an amazing journey you accomplished. I am staggered. The video is really really entertaining. What I didn’t expect is an American passport as I consider you German. I am longing for a similar trip here in Europe. This is why I love these true and honest videos from „normal“ crazy people like you are 👍

[@jameshardy6277]

Great video, thanks Holger. Very similar to my USA road trip from earlier this year but I took a more southerly route toward California. We even stayed a a few of the same motels! I did around 8,500 miles and there's still so much of the US I didn't get to see. So, I'm heading back over in mid-April 2025 for another 2-3 month adventure.

[@lange-travel-posts]

That sounds awesome! Did you do a video or blog? I would be very interested. A friend and I are planning to do another US trip: Miami - Chicago - Route66 - LA - Southern Route - Miami.

[@jameshardy6277]

@@lange-travel-posts Yeah, just a few pics and basic video. I'm starting to book flights, insurance and air freight now for my tour in Apl - Jun 2025. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaaUhaFtgst_ms0

[@yesterdaysgarage]

Wow. Good job. I have been dreaming of a coast to coast motorcycle trip. I’m going to try it in the next few years. I really like the format you did. You should do a more detailed section by section series also.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Thank you! Great suggestion - I have a lot of nice footage and pictures that I couldn't include because I wanted to keep it under 1hour. All the best for your trip!

[@JBM_95]

Thanks for sharing this amazing road trip ! That's give me some ideas ^^ Just a comment, with a little background music it would be perfect ;)

[@papertiger795]

Thank you! A fantastic trip, and well executed documentary of it. I applaud your bravery for tackling some of our most challening cities all in one trip, I don't think I would want to do that. My only critique would be that you did not take a day to ride to Key West from Fort Lauderdale. The Overseas Highway through the islands of the American Caribbean are a real pleasure on a bike.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Actually, I lived in Fort Lauderdale for about a year and went a few times to Key West. You are right that is an awesome ride ;) Originally, I had planned a trip with a friend of mine and we had planned to go down to Key West, but he broke his arm and I had to improvise. Once he is back riding we are going to do it - stay tuned!

[@papertiger795]

​@@lange-travel-postsah, very good! I do hope you decide to film your next epic ride. I like your style.

[@Mr1drumlover]

That's a lot of donuts my friend!😂

[@lange-travel-posts]

I love donuts - those Boston Cremes from Tim Hortons - you must try those ;)

[@user-mf1wt6cv9k]

Great job and video. View spass machen.

[@canadiankrispybacon]

Great ride! One for the books for sure. So, to clarify, you bought the BMW for this trip then sold at the end? If so then the cost difference you lost on the bike…$4400 plus $4.3k+ for hotel, gas and food…doesn’t this now come to $8700, for the 23 days? That would average $191/day cost for the bike.You can rent a tour bike, that would hav hard bags, maybe a fairing with music, cruise control for $130-$150/day unlimited mileage 🤔 Man, your journey definitely brought back some memories from my own rides…again, epic journey, can’t wait til Spring to get back on my horse. 😃 Hotels can add up…on my last CAN/US …mainly US I didn’t book hotels ahead..just drove until I wanted to pull over for the night, instead of the big chain hotels $$ would look for Motels..and ones that had a lot of bikes parked at them…always great prices, met so many other riders…clean/service my ride, had a beer, some conversation, then hit the sack for some rest.

[@overton00]

Epic

[@marcgatto9675]

I very much enjoyed traveling along with you on your tour. It was great fun. But man, you eat a lot of sugary garbage 😅.

[@willch19]

your food picks are wild. Texas road house in Chicago and bbq in Santa Cruz? Pretty much the opposite of what you want to eat for the location that you're in. What's next? Mexican food in Oklahoma city?

[@michaelandersen4745]

Thanks for sharing this awesome road trip. Also, the specified total cost was very informative. My main concern doing such a trip is how to avoid junk food and eat healthly. Is that even possible in the US?

[@joseirala534]

Fantastic trip! planning on doing something similar next year in September.

[@lange-travel-posts]

Awesome! September is probably better, that is what I am thinking for my next trip as well. Temperatures should be more predictable. I went in summer with my summer gear. I encountered a few heat waves where it was too hot, but many times I had the wrong gear and it was too cold.

[@moto9492]

Have fun, and don't forget to save an afternoon to tour old Savannah, GA.

[@purely_nomad_]

Amazing video and trip. Been to lots of places you did and was able to relish my memories from there. Great footage as well, however still trying to understand how did you get it to be so stabilized?

[@ridervfr2798]

Your a local, you should be sure to stop by the Antique Motorcycle Show in Dania Beach on 01-25-25. Nice video and narration/

[@kelvinknaff9903]

You road through those ridiculous winds in South Dakota.. L.. That was fun 😅..

[@lange-travel-posts]

The skies looked very pretty though! But yes at one point I thought those winds would pull me over - left, right changing the direction in a heat beat.

[@JT-et7ui]

What would you do differently if you did it again? Really enjoyed this video.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

Great ride.Wonderful to look at. Hast du deine maschine in den Staaten gekauft? das würde mich interessieren. Viele Grüße aus dem Pott.

[@ComfyDadShoes]

This is quite outstanding documentation! I’m guessing the BMW you rode must have a nice riding position and comfort.

[@lange-travel-posts]

The R nineT is nice for winding roads ... and I had a lot of those.

[@jjteddy2063]

Awesome trip indeed, planning a similar trip too but originating from Toronto. Seems like you didn't need to pack a Jerry can. Just curious, how many miles can you get on a full tank of gas?

[@johnnash4797]

I have traveled on MC all of 🇨🇦🇺🇸 a lot of Europe On a BMW GS I have owned a R9T & can’t imagine doing your trip on that bike. Size of rider also matters lol

[@lange-travel-posts]

The first trip I did with my R9T was San Diego to San Francisco and my but killed me. But the AIRHAWK air cushion made all the difference in the world. 10-12 hours riding was fine. Plus most of the time I stayed away from highways and that is really enjoyable with the R9T. But a BMW GS is a dream for doing this kind of tours - I will try it one day ;)

[@deanbush]

@@lange-travel-posts So the AIRHAWK air cushion is the key to comfort. I'll check that out.

[@mar0364]

A lovely ride. Was That particular BMW comfortable for the tour? Those are interesting looking bikes. They've come out with a crusier version.

[@lange-travel-posts]

With the little modifications it worked great! But without, your but will hurt after about 2-3 hours. As I tried to avoid highways it was the right bike - perfect for winding roads. Highways are less fun.

[@MrJihadkoplo]

touring with mr Flash

[@kevinriley5847]

Thank you for sharing your trip-- and with such detailed information! I am curious about the bike: Did you know prior to flying to the states that you would get that make/model? Did you communicate with a dealer ahead of time, or just walk into a dealer and see what they have on hand? Did you consider bigger bikes like the RT, or rather just keep it smaller/simpler. Financed it? Paid cash? Sorry for the silly questions, just curious how that worked. Thanks again!
