My First Time Riding an Adventure Bike! | Touring Utah on a Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special

[@MG-ih7mg]

After watching this I'm convinced, Zion is where Wile E. Coyote has to live!! Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@roy.actual]

That was cool. And, Amanda! Thanks for taking me along.

[@4tech69]

Gotta be careful. Those Adventured bikes start to call you. Next thing you know the Dyna is on the trailer to the dealer :)

[@ridetofood]

The Dyna has been broken for months, so. 😂

[@castle228]

Awesome part of the country and an area I definitely want to experience on two wheels! Thanks for taking us along and showing us the beauty of Zion and other parts of Utah!

[@chipblanc6037]

Daughters and I had to ship our rocks back home when our family car broke down on vac and we flew home....we love rocks, too. Now I ride the twisties of Appalachia in a diff rock heaven 😀 Glad you get it! New viewer who can thank Doodle for starting to watch these and am glad to find your channel....blessings girl!

[@ridetofood]

Appalachia is a good rock heaven!! All the green mossy ones! Hahaha! Thanks for watching, chip!

I've been riding Harley's for over 20 years (Sportster xl custom 2000 and Dyna Street Bob 2007) and this year I bought a Honda CB500X. It really is like learning to ride all over again. A totally different world. But I like it 😁

[@nataliestennett5230]

I ride the CB500X...I love it...

Well this was an unexpected treat! I’m off social media for a while so it’s like Christmas to come across this today! Lol! Thanks for always sharing ur cool adventures. Great views in this one!

You and Amanda are two of my favorite moto vloggers, always look forward to your releases.

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv I have watched Itchy Boots from day one😁

@@Nrgpack Then there is no comparison to her or anyone. Noraly is one of a kind. She can't be second to none if Noraly is the best. Be honest. Not fake comments because Noraly is on to stupid rally riding. How dumb.

As per usual another great video. I love that you connected with Amanda. She is another favorite content creator of mine. Now there’s a new road and a new place to eat on the list. Thank you

[@KiwiGravelRoadieRick]

Riding off road opens up another world of wow. We are lucky enough to be in summer here in New Zealand and three of us are doing a mainly off-road ride this Tuesday through some back country high country farms. we are really looking forward to it. We have one novice coming with us. She has always shied away from gravel even though she has an Africa Twin. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@ridetofood]

Nice! Enjoy your trip!! Hopefully the novice enjoys it!

[@justins8089]

I’m so happy to see you on this bike friend!!! Happy to see you enjoying what I wish I could, keep up the good work

[@tonyt-bone8180]

I did that ride a few years ago ,while on vacation. but in a car and the whole time all I could think of was I wish I was on a bike . I also LOVE ROCKS !!!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Great editing! The pacing of everything is great.

[@ridetofood]

Thanks dude! Appreciate it! 🤙😊

[@2LaneLife]

Gotta love that ride through Zion!! And the backbone through Escalante...the best! That sand can definitely get a little sketchy, but looks like you two had a great time. Awesome vid!!

[@ridetofood]

Y’all know how it goes!!! 🙌 thanks fam!

[@pamartin]

Didn't realize how much I missed your videos until you showed up again! Like breathing fresh air! I sure miss being able to ride so keep on bringing us with you! And yeah, stale Twinkies are better than no Twinkies!!😁

I have 20 videos to edit this winter, so lots of stuff coming your way soon! 😊 thanks for the kind words. And yes, agreed on the twinkies. 😂

[@kjaubrey4816]

I am just learning to ride an ADV after being a sport bike guy. I was riding at maybe 20 MPH on gravel until I followed my friend on his dual sport. Now I am able to push it to 50 MPH and get the back wheel to slide into turns without freaking out. It was definitely a new experience but I am loving every minute of it.

[@ridetofood]

awesome! definitely a whole new world of motorcycling! and its a fun one haha. im not at the sliding comfortably part yet but I dream of being there hahaha

[@BackcountryNomad]

Enjoyed the last video. It will be great to see how the difference between the honda 500x that "As the Magpie Flys"and the pan america will do riding next to each other. Pan Am definitely more comfortable for miles but the ol Honda is definitely more nimble. Looking forward to seeing more. See you out on the road!!!!!

[@ridetofood]

We only met up for the day! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@bikesbrewsandbbq2724]

Wow, I had no idea that Utah was so beautiful.... Thanks for sharing your journey, may have to put this one on the ever growing list of places to ride!

that heel kick was perfection against that background. and twinkies are good. LOL.. keep up the great vids cheers.

Just picked up a Pan America as a second BIke to my rode glide. Love it and your videos are great!!!!! Keep them coming

[@ridetofood]

That Pan America is a sweet bike. Looks much better in person than in pictures or videos. I had a BMW R1200GS for a few years. Trouble was it was not the best two up bike compared to my Road King and my wife enjoys riding with me. Being the practical sort I couldn’t justify the expense of two bikes so I sold the Beemer and kept the Harley.

[@ridetofood]

Gotta do what works best for you 🙌😊

I love UT12. Even though I got caught in a white out hail storm 3 months ago on it. Kiva Coffee on UT12 is a must stop IMO. I love the hogback.. And what is it about Highway 12s? ID12 from Kooskia to Lolo Pass (either direction) is great too. Totally different look and feel from UT12, but still nice. If I find another state 12 some day, I'm gonna have to ride it just to see. BTW, I stayed at that same motel in Boulder back in 2015. I rode Burr Trail the next day. I enjoyed it. 60 miles of pretty easy dirt, but so remote you found yourself wondering every now and then if you were really prepared to handle getting a flat. Valley of the Gods is nice. I could ride that road all day. I was on an F800GS both times I've been to Idaho, so I managed to get a little dirty here and there.

[@ridetofood]
