Brilliant ! Keep on keeping on sir

[@curtismcquiston3192]

I'm from a little town outside of Nashville TN USA and I done a little over 6000 miles on a 1200 Sportster from Nashville to struges south Dakota and it was my most recent favorite trip I have took unlike you I had very little money no motels and hotels for me just sleeping bags and my tent stayed in more than a few sketchy places but I had the time of my life and would do it again anytime anywhere

[@bigmikeh5827]

Hey Curtis, Im in Clarksville. Im hoping to visit a buddy in Sturgis at the end of the month. Maybe we could tote a wheel sometime? I just did a 2k+ trip to Texas and back.

Unless the psychiatrist rides haha

[@garthnaude9920]

I too suffer from depression and ride a bike too. So I get where you are coming from. Unfortunately I am not in a financial position to just get on and ride but that does not matter. You took us all with you. Please keep doing what you are doing. Magic stuff. Regards from Johannesburg.

[@makka72]

Mate, your a legend. I always found riding to be my help with the depression/PTSD once I left the military after 21 yrs. All the best in the future bloke.

[@aaronmacdonald8077]

You described exactly why I love to ride. The high concentration level required to ride clears my mind and greatly reduces my stress.

[@derrickcarrington2378]

Whenever I’m on my couch and feeling rutted, your videos cheer me up. You have a zen-like attitude that makes it fun to watch. It reminds me that there are so many adventures out there- large and small, painful, funny and beautiful. Don’t stop doing what you’re doing. It inspires.

[@ShaneeLeeIsPoo]

Everything you said about having depression and what riding does for it is so true. That’s why I ride ! Hope your mind is in a good place now mate

[@kurtfoulke5130]

I'm watching this in 2021. A lot has changed in your life ,but your description of The Road was on the mark and still is today. Thanks Danny

[@anthonyprice5596]

You are a REAL modern day adventurer, where you've ridden in your trip, was a once in a lifetime. I wish I had your reserve. Keep it up dude.

[@jvsdibond1768]

started to watch this series for the bike and the adventure , but really starting to warm to this guy. and at the end of the day ......he did it so respect.

[@hogtirement5050]

Your videos were the most interesting motorcycle series on you tube with high quality film work. Have traveled the United States for over 45 years on my Harleys and nothing compares to what you accomplished. Look forward to your next adventure!

[@mattquelch1078]

I started watching this last night as I was about to leave for the pub and I said stuff it I am staying home and watching your trip to the top of australia. I loved watching every minute.

[@garycollins3793]

I love your honesty, about mental health. It's bloody hard to accept, but you put it into perspective!!!

[@kenschey2072]

Just Thank You!!! Inspiration, fortitude, entertaining are some of the words i would use to describe you and your journey. Great camera work. Thanx and keep on riding.

[@nortonmolly]

I’m a biker of 30 years and I really admire you and want to shake your hand 👍👍 I ridden with some guys who have unbelievable skills on a road bike in the dirt gravel, just no fear. I just shook my head as they sped past me.

[@NeverDoubtMe23]

Hey man, a fellow brother from the states here! I am not sure how I found your channel but I am glad I did! As a fellow middle aged man that has depression and is stuck in an office 12-16 hours a day (DevOps Engineer), I completely get where you are coming from. I have been taking depression medicine for twenty years and I can honestly say if it wasn't for my motorcycle I would not be here. As men, we cannot stand being locked in a cage with fake people every day for hours on end. My friends and I have had some crazy trips like you on our motorcycles, we ran toughmudder here in the states in 105 degree heat. I have had friends helicoptered to emergency rooms during these runs, motorcycles smashed by idiot cagers that do not pay attention and even a run in with the cartel in mexico. None of my friends would change a thing because for once in our lives we felt alive when these things happened. Can't wait to see the other things you have planned for this channel, stay safe brother!

[@territoryproud2452]

Here's another thing I loved about this series. Anyone see a "merch" or Patreon mention? . This is a millennial free zone.here's to being over 40 and cashed. HEELULUJAH. also.. To the people that are thumbs Downing... I hope your haemorrhoids flare up. JG IN HANOI

[@petethemod1]

Firstly thank you for sharing your trip. As a 55 year old life long biker, I doff my cap to you sir. What you did was amazing! How many of the keyboard warriors that criticise you, have actually thrown there legs over a bike? The fact you touched upon the depression subject, was very honest and open of you. So many of us guys try to put on the Alpha Male front, while suffering inside. I look forward to watching your further adventures. So it just leaves me to wish you a very merry Xmas and a peaceful new year to you, and your family.From a cold and wet northern England. Take care Buddie..🏍😎☠️

Respect to you man, your honesty and real-life explanation is refreshing

[@Colin06R1]

Love watching your videos. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious always honest. Keep em up. Love it how you give it a go.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Great film! And I agree with you about not taking an adventure bike on an adventure ride. It defeats the whole purpose if everything goes right.

[@chrisholmes6311]

Daniel if you’re not already you could be a guest speaker talking about challenging oneself. Oh and you should be invited to HD corporate Christmas party. What an excellent series. Congratulations mate. I still have no desire to own a HD but I know a hero when I see one. Off to,wash my MV now 😝

[@hammeredhemi1223]

Dan..... As a rider there is nothing like the feeling of the open road, embarking on a journey that is totaly unplanned where you just get up and get going to I dont know where, I totally get it..... I have met men and women who have had a hard time dealing with life due to certain events beit business, personal, financial somehow the road is a place for me anyway that brings calm and clarity, especially on a bike. See you on the next adventure, because crazy as this one was i do get where you coming from and i did enjoy it. Cheers

[@timedoesnotexist3017]

I watched your complete 14 day adventure today. Thank you, it was an adventure. Several times I was cursing you, but only out of looking out. What a great time! Thanks again. I subscribed

Well done Daniel, it was a fantastic VLOG of your journey. We are on this earth for a good time, not a long time so why not live it to the max. Congrats on the 10k subs too mate.

[@NitroRoo]

Loved the series and great review of the road king, but even better explanation of why riding is good for the soul.

[@stevedavies3322]

Hats off to ya!! The saying I use the most to myself is "Life is a journey not a destination". I live by this saying as we all know our final destination, we just don`t know when. I avoid depression purely by riding my bike round the world and nothing else does it for me. Love your videos and keep on keeping on man!

[@rsbharley4766]

Great video Daniel, one of the best series I have seen.. Everything you said about having depression and what riding does for it is so true. You only get one shot at life, so you got to do what makes you feel good. good review of the road king, that is a cool looking bike. Thanks for sharing, ride safe. Cheers

[@craigheidke4459]

Mate , Brilliant filming, I must admit I was glued from part 1 to the end ,gutsy ride ,love the commentary and the bike ,I bought the exact Harley 2 months ago and you have cemented how good my choice was , looking forward to more adventure video's from you , Well done Danny !!!

Greetings from NYC mate! I ride one of my Harley's every summer from NYC to somewhere out west usually ending up in Sturgis. Usually around 6500 - 7000 mile run. I'm 59 and hope to be doing the same for years to come. Really liked your video and enthusiasm mate! Keep on enjoying the adventures of riding and the unknown. It's a beautiful world!

You are so much fun to watch. I’ve been riding Harley’s for 55+ years and at 76 I’m still excited ever day I climb on mine of the 150 I’ve had in my 55 years of riding & building Harley’s from the ground up I’ve worked as a Harley Tec at 2 dealerships over the years & it’s still my only ride off any bikes made.

[@jb950]

Man I watched those trips and I felt the pain . Your an real trooper, I’m also in my 40’s and struggle with Anxiety and depression , I take meds but still struggle getting out. You are truly my inspiration , I just need to get my ass out and ride.

[@HighCountryHughesie]

Hy Danny! I loved this series. Hope ya remember me from Chapter Six and a great mate of our dear friend Shane. I know he's in heaven and watching every episode. Good to see Graham up in the Territory looking good as well. You're a natural for this KZbin caper because you are honest and doing it for fun, the sign of a true humble man. Hope to catch up with you when I am next in Geelong. You are bringing joy and happiness to a lot of people. I have a patch on my vest that says, 'Ride to Recover, Recover to ride', I started doing that way back in 2008 in Geelong with my mate Shane and today I keep my back foot pegs down sometimes and imagine he's riding on the back with me. God Bless you Danny. Peter H.

Thank you Danny for taking the time to read our comments and commenting. Cheers to you

I enjoyed watching your videos. I also ride a Road King and love it. I ride and tent camp with it a lot. I've ridden just over 16,000 miles in 2018 on it! Thanks for sharing.

[@territoryproud2452]

Mate ..a few things. #1 Only people who have done a LONG trip on a bike ( of any sort ) in very challenging conditions can understand the achievement of coming home safely. You made it . BRAVO . #2 I love the fact you “planned” for a week and took off on a stock Harley. I am an Enduro guy but I can utterly respect that. Most guys would plan for months , have sat’ nav’ underpants packed for emergencies and have the BMW kitted out with $40k of extras. Not you. #3 To the dumb fucks who made comments about you having a crew….they should pull their fucking heads in. They cannot appreciate the work you put in to filming and do not get your passion for film. Ignore the haters. Please. #4 Finally..I know you have tagged yourself the million dollar bogan and whilst you are doing well $$ you are no bogan. You represent some of the best attributes of what an Aussie Male can be - even with some personal challenges. Driven, successful, self-deprecating, unapologetic, funny, generous, adventurous, a child at heart , always evolving etc. I love the fact you have moved to the country and are embracing the uggs, the blunstones, the chainsaw and the dirt biking etc. Deadset you are my favourite KZbin channel by a country mile. KEEP IT UP HOMEBOY. Love from Hanoi, Vietnam. Ps ; did you los some KGS ? looking good Billy Ray.

[@danielhayes-domore]

mate they are the kindest words ! thanks so much - yep plenty of haters on KZbin

Motorcycles are therapy for me I love em, dirt and road. Nice video cobber

[@codyroden222]

Hey Million Dollar Bogan, I wanted to give you a tip and maybe you know it and maybe you don't . When you're out in the sun you should wear a long sleeve farmer flannel as in like the dress shirt material aka thin matter that you can work in so it breathes. It's an old farmer trick but you will notice that farmers at least here in Arizona always wear long sleeves because it protects you from the sun and the sweet you do lose makes the shirt wet. So then after you sweat, it actually cools you down more because you have a damp shirt with a breeze due to your riding speed. Not saying it will always be favored due to comfort, some guys and depending on the day may prefer a short sleeve but this should help significantly. If you don't like it you can always take it off. I've literally felt chilly in this before even in the 100+ degree Arizona heat cause when you get a damp shirt with wind sometimes it will give you a chill. Just so you know in my home town it gets up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Anyways love your vlog. Have a good day.

This is awesome!!!! Congrats on all you achieved. I'm a 44yr old Brisbane lady who is also suffering from severe depression and if it wasn't for my bike, I don't know what I would do. I fully understand you when you said all the stuff about how when you are riding you forget about the sh*t and focus on riding. If I had the finances to do something like what you have just done, I would or even just half a trip like this, it would be wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your journey, it was great to watch and I look forward to more videos from you.

[@coreybrassard]

Bought a bike this spring and put rode 6,000 miles in 2 months traveling around Alaska (my home state). I had d rode a bike in over 25 years, but felt it was something I needed. You're so right about the therapeutic effect of riding. I bought a vstrom, and really liked it, but was planning for a harley next year. Given their treatment of you, though, I'm questioning that decision. I'm so sick of corporations not giving a rip of their core supporters. Keep riding and stay safe brother!

[@sbreslin41]
