The Mountain claims another victim. 100th Laconia Rally 1st timers...

Mt. Washington claims another victim. 100th Laconia Rally 1st timers... ‪@JordanRay‬ and I trailered from Ohio to New Hampshire to experience our first Laconia MC Rally! Mt. Washington was by far the best part of our 200+ mile ride this day! Unfortunately, I don't have too much video anymore due to my unfortunate circumstance.

[@joshraleigh101]

What’s your thoughts between the road glide st or and Indian challenger dark horse

[@stephgoes4aride]

I like the switching perspectives back and forth between you and Jordan. 👍

[@HerTwoWheels]

It definitely makes it more interesting!

[@motomike71]

Next you’ll see Jess and Jordan sell their house and possessions, Jordan will quit his job, and they’ll tent camp around the country becoming the next Two Wheels Big Life.

[@nancymartin6701]

Agreed!! Loved the content with the two of you contributing to this one vs. a guest appearance by Jordon. Ha!

[@Ride_0n]

I was surprised the comm audio was so clean. That mixed in and sounded great! Of course, if it got sketchy, it may have hit the cutting room floor. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@erniecolussy1705]

​@@Ride_0nThe top end intercom systems from Cardo and Sena are great.

[@jerrycan5643]

Back in 1999, my wife and I went to Laconia. My wife was a new rider on her new Sportster 883 hugger. I was nervous to have her ride that far and I watched her in my mirror all the way there…lol. We stayed in North Conway for 10 days and went to the summit of Mount Washington. Watching your video brought back a lot of memories. This was one of the best time we as a couple have ever had. I never thought she would be able to make it from New Brunswick Canada to Laconia New Hampshire but she did it with flying colours. I’ve never underestimated her again. Thanks for sharing your experience, it really brought back some great memories for us 💕

[@michaelouderkirk6850]

Hey, that gentlemen that stopped was me. Crazy I found this. Nice video. It was nice meeting you guys..

[@HerTwoWheels]

Aww awesome!!!! It was a great day!

[@rickprobst2401]

I love when you and Jordan record together!! Great Episode!

[@davidwhite5529]

I think it's great when you and Jordan get to ride together. You two are a perfect couple.

[@jonesjonz1]

Nice video, I will be tackling the mountain early next month. Safe travels...

[@danadiggins793]

Thank you both for a great video! You traveled all my old haunts as I live in NH. I took the train up to the summit a few years ago…into clouds and mist! I’ve driven bikes and cars up that road before it was paved all the way…that last switch back to the left is a doozy! I really enjoyed your banter and the ride!

[@leedanielson7452]

Wow! What an amazing drive up that mountain!!! I need to do that!!😝👍🏔️❤️

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Awesome ride up the mountain. And you did it together, which is so fun! The toy hauler coming in clutch to retreat, unwind and relax with Midgy and all of your own stuff.

[@shawnmaxwell1221]

Beautiful ride once again! I’m just using all your videos to plan my future rides. This one is going on my list. ❤

[@HerTwoWheels]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@zeesoutdoors65]

I love this riding with your husband different views.Entertaining vlog.

[@larrypeplinski593]

Now he knows how I felt taking my ‘78 Harley Superglide up to the top of Pike’s Peak!

[@dionnebreton3577]

I just found your channel, and I love it! I love your upbeat personality, and you and your husband are a cute couple❤

[@sharonhirsch1173]

So glad you had fun at Laconia. I was there later in the week and it did get busier. Probably one of the busier years in the 23 I have attended. Ride Safe.

[@adventureseeking]

How’d you like my state? Now you why I love it here. I’ve hiked all the tall mountains you saw. The White Mountains are awesome. Thanks for visiting and sharing on your channel.

[@TheSwiftMagician]

Nice to have Jordan be part of this video!

[@michaelmullen2991]

Mt Washington was great, I did it back in some time ago on my 1982 KZ1100, it's carbed but did fine, it would get sluggish going up over the Rockies at 10000 ~ 11000 feet. The air has less oxygen the further up you go so carbed bikes run richer as you go up.

[@denisestaley2724]

I chuckle every time you say there's another Victory. My husband rides a Victory Cross Country Tour and he LOVES it. Laconia might just me on our future list. ❤

[@HerTwoWheels]

We saw SO MANY! I’ve never seen so many in my life! At ANY rally! 😂 it became a game to spot them haha

[@WalterB_883]

Mt.Washington is awesome. I hiked up the Tuckerman's ravine trail twice in the 1980s and drove a 1976 Camaro with 131k miles up the auto road. Never thought of the issues of a carbureted bike climbing that road. Guess my 2000 Sportster shouldn't try it. Awesome video, brings back memories.

[@johnsantolucito3061]

Welcome to New Hampshire , where shirts and helmets are optional, and the speed limit is a suggestion. We usually ride 10 to 30 over the limit.

[@chriswilliamson5740]

I do the same, except when I ride 106, I usually get stuck behind someone that does 45 in a 55 (65)

[@joshuaslaten8126]

Good to see your other half out there with you, ya'll have a safe trip, thanks for the video!

[@edwardbegiebing6036]

Wish I knew you guys were in my state --- Another my fave bloggers

[@ricchapman4204]

That looked like a fun ride!!! Glad Gordita made it!!!😂😂😂😂

[@HerTwoWheels]

She made it! Jordan got the sticker that says, “this bike rode up mount Washington” heeee

[@williammorey8092]

Up next, you need to ride out to the 1000 Islands rally in Alexandria Bay, NY!! Absolutely stunning scenery - you have Lake Ontario, The Tug Hill, and the Adirondacks all in riding distance.

[@spacebear49]

There's a rally in Alex Bay?? Live in CO for now, but from Watertown. And I never knew this!

[@SilverPonyProductions]

Turns out it is this weekend (June 23-25, 2023). Just looked it up

[@kyleecarroll]

Mars Red! Very nice!!!

[@tlraborn]

I feel your pain. I lost my GoPro Max on the Blue Ridge Pkwy in NC when my pole mount broke. The rider behind me was too far back also. All that was left on the bike was the bottom piece of the pole that I had bolted to my luggage rack. We found the pole a few miles back, but no camera . It also had a 256 gb card with 2 days of riding footage. BTW, I ride a Victory Cross Country as well.... Glad to see so many represented up there. As always, enjoy your vlogs!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Bummer! Pour one out for our lost cameras! 😅

[@madtownbadger1]

I definitely like the dual motovlog with you and your husband. Super fun and great scenery!!!!

[@leedanielson7452]

I love this video Jess! ❤️👍😝🏔️

[@dwarven1]

Oh, I'm so jealous. Used to have Airhead Beemers, and the new R18 looks GORGEOUS... and I can't even imagine how it must ride going up Mt Washington. I've done the mountain twice so far, first on my R80RT and then on my GL1500 Gold Wing. BTW, there are a lot of places where you'd see a guard rail down south... I suspect that the DOTs up here figure that we're all big boys and girls and can take our chances! I know there are a LOT of places where I live in Vermont I'm surprised that there's no guardrail. If you have a chance, take a ride to the summit on a day when they're running the old steam engine on the Cog Railway - it's such a blast! I did it for my 40th birthday: there were three people clustered up by the engine watching them shovel coal into the boiler... a couple of 10 year old kids and me. :)

[@motomike71]

I made it to the top of Mt Washington on my 1981 carbeurated Yamaha XS1100. Granted that’s a four cylinder bike.

[@larrypeplinski593]

Enjoyed seeing the both of you at the same time. Larry in Fort Worth

[@seaninness334]

Congratulations on the inaugural trip with the toy hauler AND Midge! Sorry about the loss of the 360 and its footage. A few years back, I rode the Cog rail up. It was August and almost 90 degrees at the base. At the top raged a storm, day turned into night and it was snowing. Some cars were there but no motorcycles. You had some nice weather. I hope some kind soul finds the 360 and realizes it's your, then reaches out to return it. Unlikely, but we can still hope. Stranger things have happened.

[@motoshark5847]

Entertaining video with the two way chatting 😂. Glad Gordita made it. We live in NH. I had to watch until you made it up to where you can see into Huntington Ravine. Last time we rode up it was on the Stelvio and my GF freaked out as soon as we broke tree line 😂. I love it up there, it looks like being on the moon. You actually had a decent weather and view. We’ve hiked it several times as well. When you get to the top and see the cars and bikes ya wanna just slap em for cheating :).

[@WalterB_883]

My first hike up Mt. Washington was disappointing after hiking for hours to end up in a parking lot.

[@tonymoreno9090]

I own a Victory Cross Country as well - live in Mass. love the bike !!

[@pscotthemenway]

My old stomping grounds. Thanks for the memories! God bless. ❤

[@HerTwoWheels]

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a wonderful time!

[@moeg]

Welcome to New Hampshire and fancy meeting you here Scott. 😅. We rode together back in the day. Laconia has gotten a lot more tame over the years compared to its hey day. You came on the right weekend and camping outside of it was a good idea. Nighttime is still crazy noisy especially on the latter part of the week. Sleep would be impossible. 😅

[@pscotthemenway]

@@moegHey brother! Yeah, fancy meeting here in Jess’ video. 😂. @HerTwoWheels So glad she finally found out how great NH riding is! Love you brother! God bless.

[@vanmandad]

I really enjoy your videos. I had an accident this past December which ruined my right knee. I know I'll never be able to ride a motorcycle, but one day I hope to get a Gold Wing trike and experience motorcycling the only way I can. Until then, you guys are my inspiration. 👍. Thanks

[@gregmiller8882]

Great video

[@raymondrathbun8688]

Cool to see both of you in video sounds like you having a great time

[@tincup850]

This is awesome! Congratulations on doing couple vlogs, they are great!

[@Thenvisibleman]

Gosh this is incredible love your vids and Jordan together and yay go VICTORY riders whoop!😎

[@joewilliams5396]

I like hearing your husband's perspective when out with you. I really enjoyed the video too. I'm loving the views you shot.

[@wickedqueenrides]

You definitely had more of a view than I did riding up Mt Washington during Laconia Bike week! I rode through the clouds to get up there, many ofnus kept our flashers on, just to make sure we could be seen. Like you, I exclaimed; oooh waterfall when i saw it! I was smiling all the way up and back down again! The altitude alone definitely would make a carbureted bike not happy, then add in the 20-30°temp drop.

[@dextergleason9421]

Great video as always. It was nice to see y’all riding together. I’m glad the gps sent you off, the scenery is amazing. Ride safe.

[@T30-z5w]

Beautiful bike! I test rode one and thought it was nice but also confirmed cruisers are not my cup of tea. Be safe!

[@finbah5706]

the beginning of your ride was thru Franconia Notch. If you looked left before MIrror Lake, ("when the temp dropped 20 degrees ")you would have seen where the Old Man of the MTn head was located but and fell down 15 yrs or so ago. You should have stopped in Lincoln Exit 32. Great food there. I spend every summer there.

[@BlvckB3ard]

I LOVE these duo vlogs when you ride with your husband. The fact that you ride different types of bikes, you have different views on things, one admiring the views, other worried about carburators and mechanics. I would love to watch a series of 30-50 videos of you two doing a long ride through Europe. Like from Portugal through Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Swiss, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece. And then turn back west through the nordic countries From Poland through north up to Scotland. That would be AMAZING! Like one on a large Harley Cruiser and one on a PanAmerica...one admiring the views getting drone shots of the most beautiful mountain sights in the world, the other worries about mechanical issues, HD points, biker communities in Europe. maybe even do parts with some othe known european biker vloggers like tomboy_a_bit and others. F*ck it, I would pay Netflix, to watch such a series, just how you two would film it, comment it, experience it. And the more vlogs like these i watch the more i would love to see that. You rock! Both of you!!!

[@wickedqueenrides]

Lol😂 at your "I cant believe this bike doesn't have reverse." Literally me and my short self on any bike over 700#!!!

[@VikingCreatives]

We probably pass u a few times on this trip... nh 2023 ftw

[@emelianenkov]

Bummed I didn’t run across you guys! I live super close to Mt. Washington and typically ride up it a few times a year. The cold is great when it’s like 90-100 and humid! Where y’all parked is almost exactly where I proposed to my wife lol Franconia notch is one of those things that blows your mind when a new valley comes into view

[@reggie368]

That was a nice video ! Cheers Jess & Jordan & Midji ! 😄

[@360chris88]

Thanks jess and Jordan for the video i enjoyed it can't wait for the next one keep em coming

[@zachsmyk3864]

I love New Hampshire I use to love driving a tractor trailer through that state and Maine now my family and my buddies family spend a week on lake ossippee every august. Haven’t taken the bike up there yet but I just started riding and next year we will get up there and ride around

[@HerTwoWheels]

That's awesome

[@tomfillmore9710]

That was great thanks for taking us up the mountain enjoyed watching sorry about your camera ever was up on a bike but was up thirty years ago with a little four cylinder car with son and daughter she laid in the back seat and cried most of the way up would just get her settled down and Trevor would say it must be two thousand feet down there that was no help lol but we laugh about it now thanks for sharing glad you had a great time nice riding in New Hampshire did you guys get to ride the Kangamagus highway that is a fun ride I have been across it a couple times on the bike take care ride safe

[@bobbendt1698]

Next time in CO ride up Pikes Peak or over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain NP. FYI Jordans bike is not going lean but going rich at altitude you have less oxygen so more fuel in a carb bike.

[@hessman5198]

I'm a Victory rider, good to hear we are well represented.

[@SilverPonyProductions]

I got blown over at the top of Mt Washington when we went up, but we parked at the very top lot. Combination of being terrified, focused on not stalling, going too slow when attempting a turn, a parking attendant standing right in my way, and 30+ mph wind gust at just the wrong moment.

[@raulcarmello1163]

When the cat is kill mode , forget about it.

[@roybrazeau3486]

[@PerformanceClean]

So cool watching you ride around some of my old stomping grounds. I remember when that Surfside restaurant used to be an old Dairy Queen knock off.

[@chasf1066]

Tell the hubby if that ever happens again. He should pull out the choke some to richen the bike.

[@Oriole21]

Jordan - and this is why robots should not be in charge. I could not agree more!

[@d.b.7678]

Absolutely great video!!!..I live right next door in Maine and have never taken my Goldwing trike on Mt Washington...now after watching your ride... it is definitely on my menu!!..Thank you!...and keep up those wonderful video rides!..I love it!!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Right on!

[@E1320_]

As a New Hampshire resident, that's been riding up Mt Washington sincecthe early 80s it was painful watching Jordan ride up the mountain. A little bit of choke would have kept him from leaning out.

[@Sixbears]

Welcome to my backyard. Mt. Washington is a nice drive. There are some amazing twisty roads up here in northern NH to discover.

[@thomasbartlett3409]

Great videos and thanks for posting. I would have traded the Road Glide and bought the BMW R 18 Transcontinental unless you needed both baggers....

[@bikeweeknation7833]

Glad you had fun but try a weekend at the rally, it’s fun!

[@eraycer]

I have been up there many times, glad you made it to my area, and I also own a Victory Cross County. lol Oddly they never used to allow Cars on it during bike week.

[@SterlingWheel]

Jess, I feel for you losing that camera. I was getting some audio on a ride and lost my Rode mic. I reviewed the video and knew where to look within 500ft of a desolate Nevada highway. It took almost an hour but I found it. You've just inspired me to make that video now!

[@motomike71]

Aww, you could have taken the Kancamagus Highway over to Rt 16 and through North Conway to get to the start of the Mt Washington roadway. I93 through the Notch is nice but the Kanc is our version of Tail of the Dragon.

[@dennisgoguen5977]

If you get the chance to come to New hampshire again there are some absolutely beautiful roads to ride

[@Nautical_knight]

Love the vid as always and it was cool to see you drive by my house in meredith nh

[@HerTwoWheels]

So cool!!

[@korydyer8200]

It sounds like your next motorcycle demo needs to be a Victory! 😂 All kidding aside, I love you and Jordan's beautiful relationship! The struggles of a carbureted.... Been there, done that, and love being fuel injected all the time 😂 Jess, I love your positivity in the way you bring a realistic view of your adventures. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to seeing more content ❤️

[@jesswood1755]

Love to see you riding the roads i ride on all the time ,i wonder what day you where there ,we when over sunday and friday

[@miller4057]

This was a great episode! You and Jordan in a ride together!!!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tvd1188]

NH native here. Mt Washington and the kancamagus highway are the two must do NH rides. They used to close the mt wash road just for bikes during bike week. And you're right, the weekends are nuts. I like that Theres a few hotspots, not just Weirs (we-erzz) . The speedway, Laconia hd, Bentleys, Woodstock, N Conway. Also, check out two other mtn auto roads, Equinox in VT, Greylock in MA. Not as big majestic as Washington, but fun

[@ajm18036]

This reminded me of the trip my dad and I took to Mt Washington. We rode the shuttle up to the summit, and got to take a tour of the weather center on the summit. I also got to see the measuring device that measured the highest wind speed on the east coast. Then we backpack the Appalachian tail off the mountain. It was an amazing experience. I wish we could do it again.

[@HerTwoWheels]

So cool!!!

[@valvalentini987]

I remember the road being all dirt near the top

[@quickshoe6]

Glad you got to enjoy close to my area. Y'all were very close. Hope you have many more adventurous in your toy hauler. Thank you for sharing

So glad you got to experience the North East!!! Welcome! So many beautiful roads around here! I couldn’t agree more than you on the rally being boring part, the real fun is on the beautiful roads and sightseeing!

[@HerTwoWheels]

I love it!

[@timbrown713]

I use to live in a ride in New England years ago, you get a chance you should check out route 1A from Portland ME to Boston all along the Atlantic coast, you go thru a lot of cool little towns, that have a ton of seafood restaurants . And Boston rocks and looks a lot like a European city

[@thunderglide]

you got lucky wasn't that windy. I live in NH been up several times once wind gusts were 67 mph. Everyone was at full lean going straight. You should try doing the sunrise tour. You go up Maintain in the dark. But you get to see the sun rise on top of the maintain.

[@jameskirby3778]

When you go to Laconia if you got to go to Boston get the lobster and steak and crab cakes that are awesome

[@RestlessMule]

I’m glad y’all made it to the top safely, but sorry about the camera loss. I’m on a road trip with my family and actually drove to the top of Mount Washington two days ago. I was fine in my truck, but I told my wife several times “there’s no way I would ride my bike on this road.” To be fair, I have an unhealthy fear of heights. I’ve also observed that a lot of New England seems to have unnecessarily slow speed limits.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Crazy! Because i would be TERRIFIED in my truck! 😂

[@ChaseJasperDown]

I'm glad you guys had fun! It looked like an awesome time!

[@HerTwoWheels]

It was!

[@timmieperry5667]

Husband's gonna start riding at BMW. Leaving it small Harley at home. Need something with power when you go to the mountains. So nice to see that losing the camera Didn't upset you too bad hopefully? Someone will find it and recognize you and your husband great video. Both eat together be safe on the road talk him into the bigger bike put the other one in the museum

[@identitybiker]

I like to bed somewhere away from rallies but close enough so I can Uber in if I want to drink and party. Other times I’ve had a busy day riding or walking the rally so I just want some quiet and relaxing sleep

[@FFL-vg9ro]

Thin air at altitude means you are running a very rich fuel mixture. 3% power loss for each 1000 ft of elevation means you lost about 20% just for altitude, and your rich mixture probably cost you another 20%. Glad you made it!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Us too! 😂

[@tommays56]

Mount Washington is NOT and issue with EFI and not that big a deal even with carburetor it’s REALLY hard on the brakes on decent especially Two up NOW Pikes peak really bits the power but is quite easy on the decent as the roads have so many more switch backs

[@FirstnameLastName-sx8ls]

Isn't there an adjustment for the carbs that would allow you to adjust your fuel mixture? I run old carburated bikes. Oh, wait, the FJR is EFI. It's still old though. 😅😅
