First Solo Road Trip: last 2000 miles on a Harley Street Glide

[@HerTwoWheels]

Those baggers get us every time! Hook, line & sinker! 😅

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

I do not identify as a Harley bagger girl 😂 but this Harley bagger stole my heart

[@4-n52]

I swore I'd never ride a bike with bags. I now have one of the nerdiest looking dad adv style touring bikes complete with topbox. They are just so damn useful. The saving grace is that I still have my supersport and v-twin with a raked out 70in wheelbase.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Hey they’ve caught my attention after this!!

@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Just wait until you get one set up with the seat, shield, heated grips etc just is set up for your size. It is a complete game changer on how comfortable you can be on long trips.

Hi Doodle, I enjoyed that video very much. I’m 62 and been riding 40 years. It’s nice to see fairly new riders doing road trips. I’ve been really impressed with the women riders. Nice job

[@Tarukai788]

That comment about the last bit near the end of the trip when the excitement fades and you realize how tired you are. That's such a relatable feeling for so many road trips. It's all worth it in the end, but those moments that exhaustion is so clear for that final push home.

[@amyv.7531]

I literally cried happy tears for you when the sun came out 😭 “You are always.more capable than you think”...thank you for that reminder! As I transition into my Street Glide, I will remember this. And I got my neck gaiter, wore it on my Sunday ride...thank you 🙌

"…what's an adventure but broken plans?" Yes! that encapsulates adventure vs trip so well 👏🏽

Great job Doodle... You toughed it out and now think of all the memories you have from doing it. You and Lali absolutely "rock" together, you should try to do more stuff together.

Hey Doodle that was COOL!!! A LOT of rain but you made it!!! I think that may have been your best video that I have seen. Stay safe out there.

[@prigs750]

Doodle, am enjoying your videos. This road trip brought back memories of a very similar trip I made in 1970. Yes, I'm old. From KW FL to Rochester NY to Albany GA on my 68 Norton Commando. It was my only mode of transportation while I was in the Navy. I was chased out of FL by a tropical depression that followed me for days. Then there were the breakdowns. It was a Brit bike and they always broke, which usually led to meeting great people willing to help. Those were great days and rides I will always remember. Enjoy your rides.

[@lauriew2907]

The sound of a Harley in tunnel, good stuff.

[@davidvance3527]

Congratulations on your road trip. I'm sure it's changed you in ways that you didn't expect. Each trip does. 👍😎

[@erniecolussy1705]

That is very quotable. "What is an adventure if not broken plans?" Looking forward to your up coming videos. Specially the California one that Jess gave us a peak of. I think that we all need to try more things. There are many things that we think that we hate. That could change if we only try them. With proper instruction we may find that we love them. The "with proper instruction" part is important.

[@lmartinez3633]

Nice to see that you got good weather for the last part of the trip, riding and appreciating life…

And I thought riding 300 miles in the Rain from Daytona to South Florida back in 2000 when that trip took double the amount of time was bad but girl I got to tell you you are an impressive young lady to do what you did and ride it all that rain and thank God that you're okay glad you had a great trip!!! My longest road trip was about 1,500 miles I think it was from Northeast New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale Florida back in 1984 and I rode a 650cc Yamaha Heritage special. That trip took me about two-and-a-half days but I was 26 years old at the time!! Probably could have made it in two days if I had a bad girl like a Street Glide at the time but that's all I had and that's what I went with!!! Nothing quite like being on the open road on a motorcycle!!!

The last bit of a trip when you are tired is the most dangerous car or motorcycle. It is possible to fall asleep on a bike too! Well done to stop and get a room, even close to the destination. Sometimes 15mins of sleep can help. But set an alarm. I once slept 5 hours in a car with my two kids! Traffic had made our journey nasty and it was a sunny day! Love your video.
