Exploring the Maine Coast on a Triumph Bonneville Motorcycle

[@Servant_of_Christ]

Dude... Dude your videos are awesome, you should do this full time!

[@CCitis]

Something about touring on a simple, naked bike like a Triumph. Great video.

[@roaddirttv]

Spent summers up there in Andover, with an uncle, aunt and cousins who lived on the side of a mountain, overlooking a lush river valley. Fond memories of a breathtaking, beautiful place.

[@Suba932]

Don't know what's more beautiful, the bike, the text, the music or the visuals.

[@indraneeldamle5799]

That was beautiful! Your description of Maine was poetic and gave an idea about the character of the place to someone like me, who has never been there 👍

[@jkro30a]

Lovely video of a hugely underappreciated state. I lived there when I was a kid and have only the fondest memories of our family camper on Trickey Pond, snow sculpture contests at school, baked bean suppers, just the best place to be a kid. Thanks for the reminders. Your travelogues are top notch. Subbed!

[@oldone-two-fiver969]

Hello from the UK, and thanks for a great little film (look after the Triumph for us too, man).

[@d-day4165]

Good story. Thanks it was a pleasure.

[@pierremartin9048]

Wonderful ride it must have been. As a Canadian born Maritimer, Maine is just simply an extension of this beautiful piece of our Earth. This summer I’ll see my sister in Fredericton, NB, head to Woodstock, cross the border and do the entire coastline to say at least Portland and have some lunch (oysters, lobster rolls) at Eventide. Maine is most wonderful.

[@alistairbernard9574]

Simply Brilliant. Safe Riding Mate. ❤

[@alexparson4472]

What great talent in photography

[@fierybutmostlypeaceful1708]

Love this video!

[@two_wheeled_guide]

Truly inspiring video: the landscapes, the road, the motorcycle, the people, the way you tell the story... Really well made! Congrats, mate!

[@martindunleavy798]

I went to school in Maine as well at SFC/UNE in Biddeford almost always had a dirt bike ( enduro and Trials bikes) at school and road/raced often. I also go back often for alumni events at least 8 days a year. Love the state. Great video you really captured the essence of what it’s like to ride in Maine. ❤🏍️👍🍻

[@curttyphon78]

Wow. What a fantastic video. I grew up in New England and spent a summer in Kennebunk with my grandparents. This really takes me back. I ride a Triumph Street Twin and this makes me want to go back there and do a tour along the coastline. Thank you for this video.

[@birkhangnarzary127]

Please bring this kind of video regularly I have watched your every video I am a new subscriber to your channel your video is like therepy for me so soothing it helps me to see nature closely

[@chromeandthrottle175]

Amazing story telling and drone shots. I share the same passion of moto travling. Adding Maine to the list. 👍

[@sohamdhamnaskar8340]

Your videos are serene brother.

[@keeslane1041]

This channel is so wholesome, so glad I came across this. Can't wait to follow your journeys!

[@hogwylde]

Nice video. I have been to Acadia Nat'l Park but never on the bike so I just texted my neighbor that we need to make the ride this summer. Thanks for the idea on a new destination!

[@Shawncim]

You my man are a poet on a bike...

[@BlackThor15]

Awesome video, well done!! 👍👍

[@shannonmurphy5137]

Great rides and great videos ..Thank you

[@ChrisIronhardt]

Thanks Shannon!

[@holiday-davidson-etc-6570]

It's a very nice movie

[@soltschekgrumsky4891]

Very, very nice. It´s a pleasure to watch your vids, they´re like a poem. An inspiration! Thanx

[@ChrisIronhardt]

Thank you!

[@carlosmartinez01840]

I just moved to Maine from the city of Boston to Owls Head Maine Can't wait to ride soon

[@kdogg2077]

Great video man so much fun to watch while I’m snowed in during this Pennsylvania winter.

[@mikehackett8708]

Wonderful video. I plan on repeating your trip. Thanks for creating and sharing.

[@ChrisIronhardt]

Thanks Mike - let me know how your trip is. Don't wait too long, it gets a bit chilly up there.

[@thomasstansberry2311]

Great video

[@Crittermoto]

Great video. I want to go explore Maine now 👍🏻

[@jasm361]

And this is why we ride bikes... Dude keep it up... Hope your channel grows... I like the cinematography and the story..... The angles of the camera the way u make it look chill relax.. That takes a lot of effort. Appreciate that dude🤘

[@lynnmaltese371]

Thanks for the ridealong. Brings me back to my teenage years when I lived In Wiscasset. Made me a little homesick.

[@patrickbako]

Great video, my man!

[@cottenham]

Incredible area and great looking bike.

[@salpairadice]

Very nice. I have an air cooled Bonny too. Last summer we took our V-Strom 1000 from Poughkeepsie to Acadia and it was great. There were not that many tourists because of covid. We were on some of the same exact roads.

[@motofreedomnz1491]

Beautiful...:)

[@blackula109]

What a awesome video all around.

[@GregSmithFL]

That's so dope!

[@Vaisakhkunniyur]

Love ❤️ from India. Your videos are not only decent but distinct too. Truly inspiring for a nature,as well a triumph lover. Much awaiting for new experience and explorations. Keep going❤️🏍

[@samaether4661]

Gotta appreciate how many times this man had to set up his camera, ride away then ride back to pick it up.

[@darkhorse7363]

Great cinematography on two wheels. Highly recommend you plan a trip to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia & explore the Cabot Trail. A few years ago, I did a solo motorcycle trip from NH to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I fell in love with Cape Breton. The Cabot Trail is stunning. I took the ferry from Portland, ME to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and toured Nova Scotia for a week. I’m planning on making the trip again in the near future. Looking forward to your future two wheel cinematography videos.

[@guitarcleveland]

Awesome video. God, I wish I could live there. I don't see how it's possible to move without a job waiting for you.

[@kristianellingsen5864]

So sick, great talk, nice edit and video !

[@tinytim9413]

Well done videos. You have my subscription. Good descriptions and well thought out. I'm a long time rider and I wish I could relate my years on the road as well as you. Cheers TT

[@zukins5003]

Since I'm still out and about I will like for now and watch it tonight..your video is like my movie time:), thank you for making another video. Can't wait to watch.. cheers from Thailand

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

Beautiful state, beautiful bike and a great story make for an awesome video. Congrats, maybe one day my videos will be of this quality.

[@derekpayne1950]

Nice to go for a ride during lockdown in the uk

[@petewebb6952]

Love that bike story man... (UK).

[@BrunoMendoza09]

I love this new video of Maine on a motorcycle, your videos inspire me to go out and ride a motorcycle to some unknown part of the country and, if possible, the world. I love your Triump, that model is not much seen anymore. I have the boneville t120 black, but the model: SE , I still find it attractive. I hope you are well bro and continue rolling that the world is going to end. Greetings.

[@davidaubuchon7309]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@nspinicelli]

You should work with the state of Maine to create content for them! This sold me on a future visit!

[@sujan.niraula]

Great video. I am planning my first long ride and going all the way to the Canadian border by New Brunswick from New Hampshire this coming summer on my T100 Bonneville. Looks amazing and love your reflection on your videos. Hope to see more and maybe I will get some good shots and views on the way.

[@bernibeckmann9753]

Subscribed. I going to have to rethink my aversion to the 360 deg. crankshaft. I'm on a 270 Scrambler and, quite honestly, have yet to experience this level of zen.

[@huanchuacres8163]

Excellent ❗👍😁

[@riadrider]

فيديو مميز و رائع شكرا لك واصل اخي

[@johncee1481]

Oh man now I have to do Maine as well...!:-)

[@norriemasson4080]

Nice part of the World

[@mackypachica8611]

Thanks for making a such Wonderful Video! I Hope i can do the same thing Someday

[@Pixonyx]

You should call this video - Maine: A Love Story

[@StandFast1611]

I guess im taking out my little gz250 today, wasn't planning to but this video was pretty good!

[@martindunleavy798]

By the way, I have a Bonneville T 100 & a Scrambler and KLR650 that I take up there all the Bonneville in the scrambler are the perfect bikes to ride in the state so I must say the KLR 650 in luggage capacity is better in transit

[@gamerbhaiya2176]

you deserve my subscription man😀😀😀

[@j-h-526]

Loved this video, considering the exact same trip in the future, hopefully crossing into Canada if the boarders are open?! I was wondering what your moto vlogging setup was? I appreciate any info! Thanks

[@rentarino6196]

Great video! Was that a real shark?

[@ReluctantBikerNYC]

Hi Chris. Love the new video. This is such a coincidence! Just the other day I was toying with the idea of going on a motorcycle trip from NYC to Maine. I was trying to figure out if there was anyone from NYC who had done the journey, but I was unable to find anything online. I am planning to do the trip in summer, and this would be my first time ever doing something like this, so I would appreciate any advice from you.

[@ChrisIronhardt]

Thanks mate! It's certainly a trip that I make often. If you want to maximize your time in Maine - the direct route through CT and MA via interstates 84/495 isn't exciting (except for the 50 miles on CT-15). But if you have some extra time, I'd recommend popping up to Hudson, NY and then through the Berkshires in Western MA, and then traverse across southern NH to get to Maine - it takes a bit longer but is a more motorcycle journey!

[@ReluctantBikerNYC]

@@ChrisIronhardt Thanks for your reply, Chris. And yes, my plan is to avoid the interstates and spend a week or two on this trip. From watching some of your videos, I have gathered that you like to take your Triumph on some pretty long journeys. Do you use a specific map or atlas?

[@ChrisIronhardt]

@@ReluctantBikerNYC I typically peruse Google Maps for any roads with curves in them - and use Nat Geo's "Guide to Scenic Highways and Byways" if I am traveling somewhere new.

[@ReluctantBikerNYC]

@@ChrisIronhardt Thanks again, Chris. Keep up the excellent work.

[@zozoa1]

Excellent video you remind me of George Greenough production (Crystal Voyager)

[@ChrisIronhardt]

I had never heard of George Greenough but I just watched Crystal Voyager and thought it was inspiring. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@zozoa1]

@@ChrisIronhardt no worries. George now lives in Australia he has done a lot of water shots for many films over the years. A bit of an eccentric but very talented guy. Really enjoyed your video thanks for uploading. You have some very good skills

[@lachlankay6439]

brave man, no mirrors

[@allantrips]

Could you please tell me the name of the sound track you've used in this video ??

[@ejtso21]

Beautiful vid. Well shot and narrated. Is that a Bonneville SE with a tach added on?

[@erich.4305]

Where did you go to college in Maine? I too went to college in Maine on a campus of about 200 miles. I went to Unity College.

[@Supernaut2000]

Hey, where are your rear view mirrors? Safety first!

[@ejtso21]

Bar end mirrors. Can see them briefly in a few shots.

🔥🔥🔥

[@dmitriykuranov4435]

100000000 Thank's

[@kevinriley5847]

I give up: HOW do you go on these long trips with only this small backpack?

[@ChrisIronhardt]

Typically I will drop my gear at a campsite and then film - but in this Maine video since I didn't camp I was able to pack it all in a backpack

[@BakerWild]

Really glad I found your channel, these story style videos are quite a rarity in the realm of motorbikes on KZbin, keep it up! One question: have you played Fallout 4 by any chance? This Far Harbor you speak of sounds exactly like a location and dlc of the game with the lobster cages outside homes and coastal villages.

[@jkro30a]

Just to let you know, it's Bar Harbor, Maine. And it is as beautiful as it looked in the video.
