Fantastic and fun video. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimdunlap2769]

Great videos...i did early retirement in 2019...my wife died of cancer so after 42 years of trucking i sold everything and moved to the Philippines ...im buying a small motorcycle next month and going camping full time...with a few motels every now and then...great videos you do...i enjoy very much...stay safe.

[@trevorzzealley2670]

If there`s on e thing I like best about your videos , better than the bikes , the locations , or the camping . Is your loyalty and dependance on each other every day .

[@chipbilyeu260]

Welcome to the Great State of Idaho ! It appears on your ride to Craters of the Moon you missed EBR-1 Nuclear reactor and our Submarine 666 Hawkbill in Arco. Did you know that Arco Idaho was the first city in the world to be supplied electricity from a nuclear reactor. So much to see and enjoy in Idaho. Safe travels !

[@magicworldbyjorg]

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@karryhoward3946]

Hello Two Wheels, I don't comment too often really enjoy your content been pleased by your tent camping video's because I'm getting close to retirement, and I plan on going on the road solo by the way tenting most of the time during the good weather months.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome. Thanks for watching

[@jamesschneider3828]

When in grasshopper country, stay a couple hundred yards behind the lead rider. The lead stirs them up and they jump up into your bike.

[@karenallen5208]

Awe, sweet, so much love between you two!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Karen.

[@kc5qnb1]

I wouldn't worry about those clamps as much as I would worry about needing a new back tire with that overloaded motorcycle! That thing is as bald as me!

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

Beautiful camp spot.

[@BrianBraaten]

This was awesome really enjoyed watching it.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Brian. Cheers

[@Fireball1800]

Nice video’s. Looks like the HD will need tire soon. Little skinny on the treads 🫣.

[@sandrarhea2328]

Beautiful scenery. I love the mountains. Enjoy the ride!

[@charlieswearingen500]

When I was a boy, my parents took me to the Craters of the Moon on birthdays. Back then, there was no visitor center and lots of good exploring, camping, fishing, and hunting nearby. If you ever look at a 3D relief map of Idaho, you will see that except for the Snake River Plain, all of Idaho is mountains...

[@annemitchell3298]

Getting pounded by the bugs reminded me of a scene from Wild Hogs..... I laughed so hard.... Great video..

[@want2ride135]

Great to see you both still laughing even when “mother hubbards cupboard” is empty. 😂

[@timsaylor6008]

Yes great job....I miss riding....

[@jameslovelace8958]

I absolutely love riding out there. There is nothing like riding in the wide open space. And meeting y’all on the Blue Ridge Parkway was a surprising honor for me.

[@SheriLatulip]

Wow great campsite.

[@bhollars3214]

What a beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing with us

[@rjonesnm]

Great video. Travel well and have a lot of fun.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Rich

[@krustysadventures9182]

Way cool

[@dconter]

It's always sad when I get to the end of your videos, I just want to see more.

[@OlmanEg]

Love waching you guys while out on my own motorcycle adventures! In Arkansas atm. Hope to see you guys on the road some day.❤❤❤❤

[@tommtfstop]

Your trip to Idaho Falls brought back fond memories of living in WY for three years. I spent weekends on my Harley traveling all over WY, Idaho and Montana. I enjoy your travels….!

[@joannemchale]

Hi guys do you know incase you buy to much and have very little space to carry it, did you know you could remove the containers and stack it into plastic baggies makes it a little easier to stuff into little space plus it doesent leek take care have Thankyou for sharing your many travels and have safe travels and have a good day and better weather then what we have here in Canada.

[@PMCraig]

That was some spectacular scenery! Plus a beautiful campsite on that river. I rode some of those same roads on a trip out west, probably about 15 years ago. There are some really compact water filtration devices out there for when you’re worried about water quality. Check out a backpacking/outdoors type store or order online from a store like REI. Not sure if they would clarify the orange iron color out of the water but at least you’d know it was safe to drink…

[@jameslovelace8958]

My pass is priceless! As a disabled Veteran we get those passes for myself and my family with me. If your not a Veteran the pass is only like $80 and worth every penny.

[@theramblingsoflarry9290]

In the early 90s I was stationed at Mt. Home AFB. I loved that area

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

KEEP ON THE ADVENTURE RIDE!

[@scooterbernieamputeeharleyride]

Camping next to a river or stream, my kind of place…..✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes sir it’s always good

[@texaslonestarrider]

Awesome!

[@randalltom9750]

Bummed, I could have met up with you at Stanley… Redfish Lake is amazing, a great place to camp. The Sawtooth’s are special. The ride down the Salmon River thru Challis, and further north to Salmon the twisties go all the way to Montana!

[@donovandahl1031]

Back tire looks like it's time to replace

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

They get replaced soon

[@deanmielke8686]

I love the Stanley area. I haave been camping there sereral times the past couple of years.

[@carlosdelossantos5131]

great video..!

[@MrBeracah]

Hi folks Richard don’t be surprise if the two jubilee clips loosen again as they are less than ideal for use in a vibration environment, combined with being used on metal material, ie solid as opposed to rubber hoses etc which compress and hold tension. Chris I can agree with you as my trip thru eleven states resulted in running out of cereal, milk etc, but at the end of the trip I learnt to do without and gorb when food was available. Gorb local term for greedily consuming here in ulster. Thks

[@amasdaha9734]

I really enjoyed this one, that campsite seemed cool. I could definitely relate to using the river to wash riding pants and not trusting the pump water full of iron. I hope you got some relief from the heat soon 😀

[@stube49]

How do you like the Tiger compared to the BMW?

[@ervinmiller7042]

I enjoy your videos, bsafe out there, until next time, 👌

[@martna1]

Nice camp ground!

[@5x16adventures6]

Great ride. Craters of the Moon is fantastic and worth hiking to the tunnels. Two things, 1, while few accept it as fact, diet Dr Pepper is the best face shield bug remover and cleaner. It leaves no residue or film behind. 2, we took a Jeep on the River Road in Big Bend NP last week. Concluded y’all were crazy to ride those big GS’ on that road and impressed that you finished it.

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good video glad you found some food and got you clamps fixed on miss Alice thanks for take us along take care have a great week

[@martna1]

Check before you leave the shop.

[@albertgermann7591]

took your suggestion of using roc straps love them.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome love Roc straps.

[@chriscarlisle8632]

I have watched so many of your videos and love them so much. I know you guys have been through hell and back through some horrible weather and so forth. Do all the great weather and riding make up for the screams off camera?

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank you so much!!

[@Buck1954]

Come down to the Bellville Texas area sometime. We have golf ball sized grass hoppers which impact ya like a rock! I can pluck them off and toss them, which they fly away!

[@sonkaldo]

Love watching you guys. I admit having anti American sentiment, this is because of what I see on tv and the news. But there really are some lovely people, places and you have such wonderful patriotism in your country. I wish you both everything that is good in life. From South Australia.♥️

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks. Don’t watch the news. 3 years now not a bad person have we met.

[@joegayle1]

Funny...Americans see a lot of things from Australia and still want to visit/return. We won't let a few bad actors ruin our view of your beautiful country. Please give us the same as the United States has some unbelievably beautiful country and wonderful folks. 2 wheels big life are but an example. C'mon over to Idaho (or practically anywhere) and someone is bound to show ya off.

[@jimramsey8020]

Yellow bug goo and yellow water, Yellow Day

[@jamiereid40]

Looks like my home water, very rusty water wells were I live is rich in Iron

[@domfer2540]

It is called rotating crops, good for the fields. Give us the temperature on your rides. Thanks.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Love easy fixes. Nice camp spot. Never been to Idaho (yet) b

[@rogermeyer3941]

❤ Idaho. Lolo Pass and Salmon River are my favs. Wildfires/smoke kept me away past few summers. I’m planning on Early July trip in 2023. Was the GS too big for u thus the Triumph?

[@michelevolz7769]

Hey Chris, could you share what mc pants you use? TIA, love the channel, you guys are awesome!

[@Freddels1]

Looks like it's time for a new back tire.

[@ronsmith5648]

The last thing that goes through a grasshoppers mind when he hits a windshield ... is his bottom.

[@gordontownsend8439]

Always liked pulling a small cargo trailer to get the weight off the bike. Had a kompac Kamp put thousands of trouble free miles on it. Just sold it last summer as we're not doing the long trip any more. Happy trails

[@rosscoyates]

Looks like you should have kept your Bushtec trailer

[@zaks9919]

Mobil one, is that a dedicated by the manufacturer as a "motorcycle oil" ?

[@woodsontr]

Hopefully you’ve replaced that rear tire by now!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes sir on the 5th set of Michelin commanders

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

that's why I do my own work .... on bike .. great vid ....✨👍✌️😉🖖😊🏍️🏍️

[@the_E4_Mafia]

I’ve been to craters of the moon in July, it’s no fun and I didn’t leave anything there.

[@MrPcairns]

thanks for the video

[@DSJoyrides]

Yall need some RainX for your visors. LOL

[@maryjaneburgess489]

No fun without food. Went to the.Beach Fell asleep, no food in the room. Restaurant closed. Hungry

[@Squatch_Rider66]

Great vid,.can't tell you how many times I've wound up.tying plastic grocery bags to the Roadking because I bought too much and ran out of space to stash

[@eddcurry1245]

Bear bait? One of you is bait, one of you is a meal. LOL.

[@pieterlagemaat4414]

I saw that you have no profile anymore on your rear tire, need to renew to avoid leakage while tripping

[@keithqueen3554]

Cool how the well produced lemonade 🍋😂

[@markmath2883]

I know to avoid yellow snow; don’t know about yellow water.

[@MrGus4440]

I assume you got rid of the BMW’s because of the maintenance cost. Have you had to do a valve check on the Tiger yet? What did it cost and were you able to do it yourself. The Tiger looks like a great bike but 12,000 mile valve checks/ shim adjustment seems like a short interval on a long distance bike.

[@steveallen5087]

“100 miles from somewhere and 200 miles from nowhere” I used to say when traveling through southeastern Idaho. Did you know that the cattle there eat rocks? Not much else grows…😂

[@smilingbiter]

Yes, Richard, a Zombie would love meeting you if you were in a dystopian movie. LOL 😊😊

[@jameslovelace8958]

Be safe guys cya next time. 🎉

[@jimmydarrellward8106]

Do y’all like camping with just a tent or pulling the little camper on the bikes.

[@Walts-Travel]

#1 I made it today!! 👊😎

[@juans3728]

Wouldn't you like to carry rope at least 10 feet to hang wet cloths? Do you guys have a bug screen covering the radiator of your bikes?

[@louieysursa5996]

I live in Glenn's ferry idaho, nice state park here check it out.its right off the interstate 84 between twin falls idaho and mnt home idaho.

[@craigrelan2346]

What is your perspective on pulling a trailer with Miss Alice versus burdening both bikes as much as you are doing.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I do love the bushtech wish we still had that trailer. But the bikes may look overloaded but they really aren’t. Chris’s has the sleeping bags those are actually pretty light

[@charliedobihal3136]

Don't drink the yellow water and it's corollary, don't eat the yellow snow.

[@frankcates3909]

Shake, rattle, & roll. Got a question for y'all. Do you know what kind of sound annoys an oyster? "A noisy noise annoys an oyster." Well, I too have a noisy noise, a SQUEAK which I cannot find since Summer time. My gently used 2014 Indian Vintage runs real good, lots of pep with that 2-stage. Although another rider saw it & states "it's a 3-stage." Anyways, It's not as loud once I removed the TPM gages off the front & rear tire stems. They were throwing the wheels off balance I'm certain. But the Squeak is still there. I suppose it's a process of elimination. Should I start by removing the wind screen? Or should I remove the seat? Or maybe the saddle bags. Glad you found your noise & resolved it. Do you get a discount next time you're in that bike shop for more work? Hope so.

[@jessecarst2093]

Looks like your eyes are bigger than your backpack! LOL

[@humbleplumbersadventures4602]

This was released 5 hours ago. When where you guys in idaho falls? It's raining and fall colors have set in. Just curious.

[@robertlewis3712]

Are you using the Mobil 1 high mileage without the slip enhancers or the regular Mobil 1 ? If it’s the regular have you noticed any clutch slippage ?

[@bob5585]

I thought the same thing. Using automobile oil in a motorcycle with a wet clutch is not advisable.

[@timlubbers2884]

🙏🙏

[@mortikai7460]

Just wondering about your helmets. My wife said the speakers push on her glasses. Do you guys have any issues with that or what have you done to overcome the pressure on your ears or glasses frames.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

No pressure on our glasses. But you need to custom fix the Speakers into the helmet.

[@banjobenson9348]

you must be out of there now winter has come

[@tbenedict6335]

Salmon is home for me.

[@tbenedict6335]

You were really close to a few hot springs,old ghost town up the Yankee fork.

[@rods907]

Yellow water is rust from the pump or pipes imo 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BamaTraveller]

Idaho is a short list State!

[@jonathonscott7776]

Just curious....whatever happened to the tent you started with before Ruby?

[@timsaylor6008]

Need to go ball to small trailer...for space.. I think last time you got. scare with the camper trl..you had before..

[@bullwinklemoose5039]

Richard. What type of loading ramp did you have. I can’t locate the same one

[@myakkacityriders1341]

I bet you miss your trailer sometime???

[@terrymaners7271]

Just started following you two . How many motorcycles has your wife ridden ? I’m some she’s on a triumph, others A B MW ?

[@johnburgess5534]

Motor cycles equals three syllables…….bikes equals one syllable. All your subs know what bikes are. Save our syllables!!!!

[@nathanshultz2347]

What place did you like the most? And just to you both Becareful!

[@frankcates3909]

OCT. 23rd. You are using a TENT again. Did I miss a few episodes?

[@richardvalitalo3670]

You missed the whole year at least.

[@kacythomas7436]

Get your dairy dose of iron LOL

[@frankcates3909]

You said it's Thursday as you recorded the vid making it Oct.20th. SO, did you know SATURDAY, Oct.22nd. was 'National Motorcycle Riders Day'? ....Well I didn't know it either. It is celebrated the 2nd.Sat. of Oct. each year. You'll have to mention that next year and ask: 'Where did you ride on 'National Motorcycle Riders Day.' I took a 97 mile Ride on Saturday from a few miles north of Boston up to Sanbornville, N.H. and back again, temps 65-70 degrees. Not hard to take.
