Escaping My Ordinary On A Solo Motorcycle Road Trip

[@kennethcalimpong7919]

Hi Adam Sandoval, amazing journey, you taking us on, continuing to inspire Riders to lay down the miles and enjoy the 2 wheel lifestyle, ❤Aloha & Be Blessed, Kenneth

[@adamsandoval]

Thanks for watching brother 👊🏼

[@paparalph4]

I myself have only been riding for four years. Now at 70 I enjoy riding solo most of the time to the point I spent $100.00 to have a 3" square patch that says "Solitary Man" with a lone figure on it to place on my vest. Riding is my church and to marvel at the beauty of this country, and yes, I've met alot of great people like you when I met you in Oconomowoc on your veterans ride and I was able to donate to a good cause. Ride safe my friend.

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

So any chance showing and maybe selling your patch? I'm from Alaska and go to Sturgis ever year. I'm 69.

[@adamsandoval]

Way to get out there and make it happen brother! 👊🏼 never too late to start riding

[@roryolson61]

I was there that day! I rode with Adam from Rockford all the way to West Bend. I'm 69 and still going strong! Ride safe brotha!

I appreciate you tuning in 👊🏼

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

I'm from Alaska and only come down once a year. July to August and travel to Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota for Sturgis rally before coming back to Alaska. Ladt year did right at 17,000 miles in 63 days.

[@DeBa1226]

Wow! Our Roots are valid, aren’t they?! I will be watching this one several times, one of your best videos I’ve ever enjoyed. THIS is why we ride, that genuine community and hospitality, the conversations enjoyed along the way, the neat finds you experienced here. It’s emotional to see this stuff, when you’ve lived and enjoyed it first hand. We love our group rides, our endurance/iron butt rides, charity rides, but nothing beats riding solo or with one other, to slow the pace down, stop when you’re moved to, ride as far or as short as you choose to, day to day. These are must sees out riding. Man this is soooo good and you looked like you were truly in your wheelhouse; those are your people, my people! Thanks brother!

[@adamsandoval]

It’s refreshing to not be on such a tight schedule 💯

[@PazLeBon]

solo and 'one other' are very different things

[@lm2487]

@@PazLeBon no it isn't

[@beverlybennett963]

Number one reason I like to ride solo,,,"FREEDOM",, start and stop where I want..

[@Michael-st1hl]

It’s good to see you enjoying a solo trip with no pressure. Just you and the bike running free down the open road with a destination called, “wherever I end up” You sure do know how to enjoy life Adam. Thanks so much for sharing this special trip going solo just like your old original adventures. Take good care of yourself out there Adam.

[@rolokyber]

Bandera has great riding, three sisters. BAM!!! Deer everywhere.

[@STIFFRIDES]

So cool to be asked to stay the night and then get put up in a camper! Plus coffee in the am!Love bike trips.

[@adamsandoval]

You meet the best people on the road 💯

[@canaryveteran]

Chicken Charlie's in Bandera is the BEST brisket and he's been there FOR EVER

[@adamsandoval]

I’m going to have to check it out next time I pass through 👊🏼 thanks for the tip

[@vangoodwin7335]

Thank You Mr. Adam for the recall! I'm getting old! 12 years ago my youngest graduated high school and went to seek their fortunes and those little Texas towns haven't changed. I loaded up my Road King and left for a year of riding. A year and half later i rode back over my cattle guards and to home. Along my way I had three breakdowns and the luck of the Irish. As I found lodging and work each time with contractors that could put this old carpenter to work also. I made my repairs, moneyed up and got back to seeing America without anyone else's schedule or opinions! The motorcycle, no matter the brand is the greatest ticket to the world! Sending your family love and appreciation and of course, You are all in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@adamsandoval]

Sounds like one helluva an debenture 💯 I bet you’re glad you did it!

[@wrb0911]

The motorcycle is "the greatest ticket to the world"? Man, I love that!! 😄 I'm going to have to use that, if you don't mind? I'm sure that was a great trip!

[@PazLeBon]

a cars warmer. sorry :)

[@leejoseph9486]

This is what you do best Adam. This is why I started following you years ago. Love that your doing this stuff again. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@arizonarider6998]

Your just living right man . Just got yourself some new probably life long friends too . Ride safe .

[@robertwilliams450]

I've rode "lone wolf" for years. It's your ride and you go at it your own pace. See a road, wonder where that goes? See a restaurant, dinner or bar, wonder what food they have? Group riding someone always rides faster or doesn't want to travel another road. Plus l9ne wolfing it there's no time frame to get where you're going. It's just you and the road. Have fun guys that's the main objective😊

[@markgardner2985]

Dude - you're in my hood. Looks like you're having a good time! Glad to see you on some south Texas roads and enjoying life brother. Have fun and ride safe.

[@adamsandoval]

I’m loving your neck of the woods 👊🏼

[@robertvilliard3402]

I really love small towns and the good people in them.

[@adamsandoval]

I agree 💯

[@southernstyle067]

Don't get me wrong, I love my wife. But I miss riding solo and doing what your doing. Meeting people and taking time to stop and smell the roses. I stay so busy now.

[@gailwhittet6457]

Love sights you find along a journey and riding and people

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

I ride solo so I can do what I want to fo. Stop where I want to stop. Go when I'm ready. It's so much more pleasing! Try it you might be suprised. Also it give you time to reflect and deeply think about things.

[@SuperHddeuce]

Excellent video Adam. I love the small towns and the history behind them.

[@adamsandoval]

Thanks! That’s the part of rising I love too 💯

[@oldbiker1150]

I have always rode alone and enjoyed being able to just stop whenever you desire.

[@armandomorales9550]

Glad to see you made it to my home town of Del Rio. We moved to Houston back in 1980.

[@RandysRides]

I always ride solo, because people are too cool to ride with me. I ride an electric sportbike, so you can see why everyone would be ashamed to be seen with me. But, I sure have a ton of interesting convos with strangers checking out my bike. And I sure love paying 6 bucks a MONTH in charging .....verses 300 or so a month in fuel.

[@adamsandoval]

I have no problem at all with e-bikes! I love all types of motorcycles 💯

Man, you were all up in my towns. We love it out here! OST in Bandera is the best. Great video.

[@lmErnest]

I've been past Toon Town many times and never stop. I'm a local, and never see anyone there. Usually on Sunday when I ride, might be why. Welcome to Texas Adam. I met you and Scooter in Orlando at the airport. I was doing a video at Disney, and you and Ashley did a video on the beach. I believe it was for Royal Enfield

[@adamsandoval]

It was awesome riding directly on the beach 💯

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

I love traveling alone on the bike. I can make instant decision, change my mind and stop when I want. Mrs Geezer limits my solo traveling but, I sneak out when I can.

[@jamesvandemark2086]

Hey- still riding solo at 70 myself. A fine thing to do!

[@Onewholovesrock]

Yes. If people would turn off their TV’s and actually get out in the real world. They would see that most people out here are very friendly, kind and helpful.

[@adamsandoval]

I know what you mean about riding solo, and just keep making these great videos about Texas and places everybody’s on my butt because I haven’t came down to Texas yet, but I have two sisters down there and I owe them a visit. Those are some very cool towns you showed. I’m gonna hit them up when I come down. I have ridden the to Cave Creek. In fact, I might do it this year for Arizona bike week . Were talking about it.

That's why I usually like to solo ride, the adventure of who you meet and what you see on those back roads

[@marcusd1796]

Terlingua. Great stop ! Reminds me of Clay Henry the beer drinking goat.Had a drink with him in the early '80's. I believe he was the town's Mayor at the time. Once again Adam, you've inspired with a destination ride come Springtime. Stay safe !

[@fifthgearfoodie5272]

I can tell you from personal experience as a black man who rides solo cross country every year--Being a solo biker also breaks down ethnic barriers. I've had random people who were total strangers offer help when they thought I needed it, tell me their life stories, and interact with me like they've known me their whole lives. These occurrences have happened in areas of the United States where I know people wouldn't normally be that friendly to outsiders. They also wouldn't approach if I had been in a group. I camped out at Lake Amistad just outside of Del Rio. There's a general store/bait and tackle shop called Hookers. It also doubles as a Karaoke bar at night and brings in quite a few people. The absolute most friendliest spot full of regulars that hang out there on a daily basis. Maintained a base camp at Lake Amestad and went over the border to hang out in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. Had the time of my life with the Sergeant of Arms of an MC. Again, a total stranger that I befriended and we hung out for drinks at a local bar there.

[@walterwvandusen5290]

[@terrillwolf2552]

I've found that my solo long distance trips seem to be more memorable and relaxing than traveling with others; I do like riding with others, but it's just not the same. When solo, I seem to get approached much more often by people wanting to know where I'm from, where I'm going, how long I've been on the road and how many miles I've done; so many people want to hear a story and share theirs as well; that just doesn't seem to happen as much when traveling with others; apparently alone you seem more approachable.

[@kerrymcclure7503]

What a great video, thank you. With the run you had this summer I can understand why a solo trip with no deadlines means so much. The only thing that might be better is a two bike trip with Ashley. Be careful, ride safe.

Have never been to the Big Bend Country but it's on my bucket list. Love Rudy's BBQ always a great eating place. Ride safe can't wait for your next video.

[@adamsandoval]

[@jetdoctn]

@@adamsandoval I'am such a great area to visit and even better to ride. Medina, Tx right down the road and that's where Twisted Sisters is, Vanderpool another neat area by Lost Maples natural area. Work in Memphis and try to get down that way as often as I can. Fredricksburg, Blanco, Lukenbach all great places to hang out but Bandera and Boerne are my favorites. If you ever get the chance and are going through Hondo, TX don't miss eating at Hermann Sons restaurant its an awesome place.
