[@jimeckenrode1271]

I wanted to ride up there but could not for family reasons and they come first. Another great video Rick and glad you wife was with you.

You ever do the Blessing in Baldwin ? Love Mi. Beautiful

[@rickiekm]

I haven't done that event. I've heard about it though.

[@krogersucks45]

What's the name of the Inn you stayed at? Would you stay there again

[@GeraIt0fRiv1a]

When is this rally this year? This is my first year on an actual motorcycle, and while I definitely don’t ride the best or most powerful bike, (a 2002 Honda Rebel 250) this event really seems fun

[@rickiekm]

June 10-12.

[@antg1893]

Same but I’m scared to bring my crotch rocket🤣

[@vtwinlife4940]

Looks like a blast. Someday I would like to ride across the Mac.

[@rickiekm]

It's not difficult. Even riding on the grate isn't bad. Just be careful crossing when it's windy.

Good morning I'm looking for a nice road in Minnesota to go from Manitoba Canada to indian bike week.Dont want to go through Minneapolis thou. 😊 thanks

[@ronaldapger2875]

i was 40 or 50 bikes behind the poor guy that got killed on the bridge. it was really bad. he did not suffer at all, he went home instantly. he was north bound on a trike, he hit the metal median and jumped head on into a ford f150 in the south bound lane at around 65 mph ! people were driving way to fast on the bridge.

[@rickiekm]

Wow, that must have been horrible. Hopefully the event this year isn't so traumatic.

[@BoDean52]

Sorry I missed this ride and great video Rickie, thanks for sharing it! We need to ride again soon.....hope your well,.

[@rickiekm]

Thanks Bob. I hope your back is getting better.

[@markthompsoncpa]

The restaurant you passed in Cross Village with the legs on the roof is a great place to stop

[@rickiekm]

I have to agree. We’ve stopped there several time.

[@markmeldrum6513]

[@greentravelingmachine]

I rode up with 2 buddies I met from Instagram, then rode to the soo to my buddy that lives there and never did the rally I'm trying to make it this year

[@michaelschmitzerle2587]

What I heard was the rider who died on the bridge was 78 years old and a medical issue may have been a contributing factor, to the crash, possibly a stroke.

[@marksibincic]

Cool video. When you use your Cardo with the open face helmet do you have any issue with the wind triggering the mic and cutting your music volume?

[@rickiekm]

Thank you. No problem at speeds under 60mph.

[@rickiekm]

Budget Inn. Yes.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I hope to do this in 2022

[@snailon3]

Did you change over to a 3D camera? If you did what kind are you using and is it hard to work with?

[@rickiekm]

I use a GoPro Max, but would seriously consider the new 360 One. The GoPro Max requires a slightly steep learning curve.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

Looked like fun, but I only people in moderation. ;)

[@rickiekm]

The event was interesting, but we just visited and then traveled around the northern part of the lower pennisula.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

@@rickiekm I say I people in moderation, but I can go to crowded areas, but when I need to get space, I leave pretty quickly.
