[@NTHEWIND54]

Congratulations! I just love the way you built it up to the unveiling moment. My wife and I spent 2 months traveling on our Harley last year on a trip I called ‘mission possible’. As a celebration of life after 2 months of radiation treatment for prostrate cancer. Pulling a Bushtec trailer doing a combination tent camping and motels. I’ll make this prediction, your Harley will be replaced with an ‘adventure’ bike within year! LOL! 👍

New years day_ very cold in Salem, Or. Like your new set up. Happy abvemtures.

[@captainjim605]

Congratulations on this exciting new change - I think you are going to really appreciate the added comfort and convenience. My wife and I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and RVing for 30+ of those years. She hooked me with the idea of getting a motorhome by saying "We can haul the motorcycles south in the winter." We also did the hauling a Bushtec behind a Harley (me) and a Goldwing (her). When we combined the bikes and RVing we made another change: without the need to haul everything on the bikes, we started downsizing the bikes. At age 66, a deteriorating hip made me think I was done riding. My wife suggested we get a couple scooters (yes - scooters), since it hurt too much to throw a leg over a motorcycle. Another discovery: these scoots (a Yamaha Xmax for her, a Vespa GTS HPE for me) have been a blast! In the meantime, I had a hip replacement and can now ride anything I want again... and we are staying with the scoots. The current motorhome isn't our full-time domicile, but we spend about 6 months +/- each year hauling to great places to ride... and at the best times to be there. You two are the real deal. If you get any pushback about "getting soft," you have nothing to prove to anyone. The main thing is to keep riding and continue to enjoy it. Riding is my passion - it has been since my wife and I dated in high school, on a motorcycle; well, she was my girlfriend back then, but we have been together ever since. And always riding... between us: 9 Harleys, 4 Goldwings, 2 BMWs, and a bunch of other bikes. I am very excited for you with this next chapter! (Captain Jim & the Blonde)

[@cancelchannel3394]

I agree with down sizing to smaller easier handling bikes, I would suggest sportsers a 1200 and a 883 maybe, or a pair like the wife rides

They could sleep in hotels cheaper than the fuel costs of that truck trailer rig, and loading those bikes on that high truck bed must have gotten old pretty damn quick, love their passion for bikes and traveling 😃

[@captainjim605]

@@cancelchannel3394 I, too, appreciate their passion for travel and riding. I enjoy seeing their videos and whatever ever way they choose to travel. For some perspective, we tow our bikes in a cargo trailer behind our motorhome, and it is definitely more enjoyable for us, compared to schlepping stuff in and out of a hotel/motel. We have been riding for over 50 years and have tried it different ways over the years - we know what works for us, and apparently so do Rich and Chris, as they try it different ways.

[@alicial6072]

congratulations on the new camper and truck, most of your exploring was done once camp was set up anyway so really nothing has changed as far as I see it just different sleeping quarters, I think you needed to be a little more comfortable the heat and humidity gets old real fast and the ability to have a real shower is priceless.

I know I'm late to the party but I found your channel recently and I've been binging your videos. I especially loved your travels in Ruby as my wife and I are looking into doing the same thing (eventually). I just wanted to say thank you and for being so transparent in your adventures! Safe travels and see you on the road!

[@montanaguy]

My wife and I are into our 70's and tour on the Road Glide whenever possible. We gave up our Aspen Sentry Camper because we wanted a little more comfort at the end of a long day of riding and didn't want to spend the first few hours and the last few hours of each day setting up and packing down the damn thing every day!! We decided to plan ahead and motel it on our travels. What a relief it was to get out from underneath that thing! We still pull a Bushtec Turbo II cargo trailer for our 'overage' necessities. You two have made such a 'left turn' in your touring decisions, and that is disappointing. Loved the videos you took on the bikes, and that is what kept our attention in your vlog. Videos through a truck window won't be the same, and we're afraid you'll be heading for some difficult times loading and unloading heavy bikes on/off your truck of choice. We wish you all the luck!

I appreciate the comfort upgrade to Fourteen Wheels Big Life, but this changes the channel from Motorcycle Touring to RV Touring (with MC side trips), sort of a hybrid channel, and seems like a natural progression from the permanent on-the-road mc lifestyle. That thirsty rig's ramp is sobering, and it probably should be wider. Congratulations on a refreshing change!

[@edgarmachado6008]

Rich/Chris. I love the new setup. I love the progression of your channel. It's very inspiring. I must admit when I saw you loading the bikes I was saying "no, no, no, no". I ride a Road Glide so I know the bulk and weight of that that beast. Might a I recommend a small winch mounted centerline in the front of your bed. Harbor Freight has a 2000 Lb. winch with 50 ft. of cable for $69.99. Use a couple of pullies to redirect the cable. Let the winch pull the bikes up. I think this will be a much safe way of loading the bikes. Really looking forward to 2022.

Awesome team. This is so cool. The driveway you’re parked in at the end. Is that your home? Ride safe and ride often.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

No that is my Moms house out home is this base camp

[@paulprosser4108]

Enjoyed the motorcycle touring and Ruby,. I wish you both luck in your new adventure. But I am afraid that's the end of myself following your channel. But thanks for all the past fun Take care you guys.

[@vidman3WM]

I'm so excited to see the adventures you'll be having in 2022!

[@rhausele]

Good for you! As you say so often, it’s YOUR ride. Enjoy, and always be safe!

[@ironhorsegladiator5034]

I have been riding this way for the past 9 years, hauling my bike and sleeping in my truck where I could be well rested to tackle some rough terrains on my KTM500EXC, but with my GS1250A, I get to ride far and not worry about having too much to carry.

[@GB-ly8ny]

What I enjoyed most was your day trips after you got to your destination. So I think this was a smart move. Enjoy!!!

I work at a large lumber yard , the yard ordered 2 flatbed trucks one came in over a year wait. Lucky isn’t the word enjoy!

New Subscriber! and fan from Michigan. It's been fun to watch MANY of your videos and your evolution til now - awesome! I'm in my mid 50s and looking to do a similar base camp/ride out scenario with my 2018 GS (sold my 2017 Harley SGS and don't miss it - lol). I have an old (1996) Dodge dually and I'm looking for a short gooseneck horse/livestock trailer to live out of in campgrounds or otherwise. My goal is to eventually live/travel the desert southwest and use the elevations and seasons to manage the temps accordingly. What general limitations on RV length and such have you learned from the various campgrounds and parks? Thanks to both of you!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

That’s awesome!! We have found that 95% will take a 23’ max trailer. (That’s why we have what we have) this should fit just about anywhere boondocking or campgrounds, state or national parks. This is a 21ft but 23 nose to bumper

You may want to look into Geeza Gear bike covers. Very tight fitting and designed for 80+ mph winds. No more flapping in the wind. Breathable, tight, and VERY tough. No abrasion issues. Not too expensive either. Highly recommend.

[@markhale7061]

what a great idea you 2, well done a little comfort and you keep riding, great set up for great people..............keep it coming

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Mark

[@ratfinkrider6125]

Chris/Rich, love both of your choices Truck and Camper, I just sold my toy hauler last year and if I had to choose a traveling combo again I would do something like you are doing now.

[@stephenmccabe9941]

Awesome setup Really looking forward to your new adventures Merry Christmas from Vancouver Canada P.S.We have awesome riding up here Just saying

[@jgrivers64]

I do like it!! The best of both worlds!! RV living in comfort and riding the bikes for many adventures, weather is now not really a issue while traveling from camp site to camp site. Only when you want to ride.

[@SecurityBob]

So cool guys, looking forward to your new look and travel platform. So happy with your decision to move up in your gypsy life style and afford yourself some well deserved comfort. Also to now ride your new motorcycle ventures from a stable and secure home. Bring on the adventures we are all living vicariously through your travels and and suggestion for our own. Congratulations. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope to share your holiday experience.

[@ericlunn5323]

Well ain't that they mother of all ramps! I have truly enjoyed travelling with you two and I look forward to watching you wheel those two giants back down that ramp . . .

[@stephensimms6637]

Way to go you two. No doubt this will provide for far greater comfort. Will make those rainy and hot/humid days far more enjoyable. Keep filming as I love watching the two of you on your adventure.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

We agree!

[@EddieSprouse]

We really enjoy watching you in all of your adventures. Ruby was great. I had a blue popup and stayed at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground, I hate I wasn't there when you were. I pulled mine to Yellowstone. I loved it. The great part was I sold it and got all my money back. It was like staying for free for the time I used it. I love your new setup. My wife and I plan to do something similar next year. Ride on and ride safe. We love your channel.

[@Xvsvxysyxhvfgzag57451]

Wow..congrat on the next chapter on new rides( Truck and RV)...love your video..!
