[@gtsrig]

Ian, you hit the nail on the head when you said to "be grateful for what we have". I have been riding many different bikes for over 50 years and have always felt blessed and have had tons of fun. I watch all your videos. Thanks

[@kawabungah20]

Well said gtsrig. Ditto that!

[@BigRockMoto]

Right on

[@tomthomsen990]

Yup....ditto!

[@davidb9323]

And then he brought the mood down.

[@BarryRuffnerXD]

"I don't know but they are dead" had me cracking up. Well done sir.

[@mikemerrill175]

Itchy is a channel to admire with nearly one million subs. However, Noraly’s presentation is really an adventure travelogue with the bike as the vehicle secondary to the trip. The young lady has courage to admire. Yours is more of a technical and product review channel with trips added as a reward for owning and fitting out some really fine motorcycles which seems to split the difference between Zach at Revzilla and Itchy. You do a great job as a presenter. I subscribe to all 3.

[@BigRockMoto]

good point

[@diffmiss]

I got home late last night from an aborted road trip in SE AZ. Had a mechanical issue and had to limp home for 7 hours. Although I had to cancel the trip, I still had a whole different kind of excitement. I sat down later and opened this video, and Ian sums up my thoughts about gratitude so perfectly. I enjoyed my broken adventure and never once felt any sense of failure.

[@IngOehman]

Father issues, itchy-issues, and… all kind of issues! And you embrace it and create fabulous humor from it! Great fun. You are the best! Also great info included.

[@BigRockMoto]

Thanks so much!

[@IngOehman]

No - thank YOU! You have the weirdest humor 😆 Love it!

[@budreeves5438]

Hey look at Ian, he can actually be funny! Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Good luck catching up with Jocelyn and Noraly!

[@paullaverty3038]

The photography of the motorcycle on the railroad tracks and the bike with the desert in the background speaks too my soul.

[@ferdlhofreiter45]

I really like your videos, but this one is weirdly social-media meta themed and turns into a 5 minute commercial for one or two dozen items. I still really like the riding and the way you present your routes/surrounding. Just the whole youtube-game is pretty odd in this one.

[@fgarsombke1]

Do you have a link for the bag that is attached to your crash bars? Is that for tubes, etc? Thanks loved the video.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I have become more enthusiastic about the T7 recently. It would be a good choice. Totally reliable and it looks good. Great video.

[@Oosik91]

You’ll love it, I’m in love with mine first motorcycle also.

[@winterbreed]

Hahaha!!! The narration part was fantastic! Love your sense of humour!!

[@willchilds5414]

I got my T7 in August and have been slowly getting upgrades for it. It’s a great bike! Love your trip! Super epic that you hit 100 on dirt. BRAAAP!

[@johnnyblue4799]

Love the music you've chosen for this video. And the landscapes are gorgeous... thanks!

[@mototurkey5289]

It’s always great content! I love the reviews and advice and cool products to think about. I have to say, the “just get out and ride” stuff is absolutely super to watch every now and again man! Three bikes for me to ride by spring… T7, Tiger 900, and Africa Twin. You’ve been instrumental in helping me select my next bike. Now I just have to choose! Thank you and keep rolling out there in California!!!

[@robertlee8042]

I like your videos. I’m 74. I do this in USA and Europe. Here on a GS Adventure. In Europe a T700 Tenere. Both the right bikes for their continents. I feel like I could live forever when I’m riding. People ask what’s my favorite weather. My favorite weather is whatever God sends me. My Tenere has every Touratech part available in 2019. It was their exhibition bike.

[@mikethebikemt07tracer]

Love your videos as they cover a wide range of subject matter. Living in England we don't have that type of ride. I did however do the whole of Route 66 in 2008 and loved the section from Flagstaff to Santa Monica. We did do a little of the south of the Mojave desert and finished off by riding the coast up to Bodega Bay then back to San Francisco to drop the bikes back. It was one on my most memorable tours.

[@KevinCantDrum]

I have to say I've been watching your videos for a while and I always enjoy the content and information and your straightforward delivery. Yourself narration on this video is an absolute KZbin masterpiece and will live rent free in my mind for a long time.

[@BigRockMoto]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@paulfranke3511]

Great video! Extremely helpful to discuss your gear and take us along. Keep at it.

[@dannyrobinson3173]

Great video man! My favorite one so far. Nothing corny or cliche about the desert. I lived out in the Mohave as kid, you’re right, it is special place. I live in San Diego now , but this is the exact type of ride I see myself doing when I get a T7 sometime next year. You’re living the dream! Inspirational! Thanks for the great T7 videos! Well anyways, cheers brother! Dan

[@BigRockMoto]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@err-001]

Love the narration! I could watch an entire video like this. Thanks Ian!

[@Bluewidowr1]

Bro, I rarely subscribe to KZbinrs. But when your audio quit and you were 100% honest about what you were seeing and experiencing you had me. Itchy Boots is great but keeping it real about the ups and downs is greater. Keep up the good work and know that my +1 subscriber is just a brick in the road.

[@gwezrider]

Ian, with the soul soothing music and your ride thru the desert was spiritual. Thanks, Gary

[@wjvlodek8769]

Perhaps THAT is why I enjoy your videos so much....my dad (and my uncles) told me the same thing. THANKS!!

[@motoadventuredual-sport3671]

I love your voice over narrating I love the sarcastic side of you. Good job and thank you for putting a smile on my face and making my day

[@BigRockMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zman71873]

Your sarcasm was very entertaining.

[@ccwillia]

Love it! Laughed at you leaving your tank bag open. Did the same thing a couple of times on the Idaho BDR on my T7 this past summer! Luckily also nothing lost.

[@erwinballings9155]

Another great video BRM, I again enjoyed the beautiful views and I fell in love with T7 😃 thanks for posting and the tips an tricks for camping. Greetings Erwin.

One of the best videos! It was super relaxing, thanks for making it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@utubefun7]

What an excellent video!!!😊 Felt I was there with you enjoying nature. Thank you!!! 😊

[@kawabungah20]

What a nice video, fella. I think you are the Colin Fletcher of adventure touring. Your videos have filled the void for me since MCN (magazine) went South. You inspire this fellow motorcyclist viewer! Maybe I'll see you out there on the trail someday!

[@John_Neves]

Honestly man, i actually loved the narrated parts. Had a few good laughts 😁 Nice adventure 👍 Hi from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@steveogle2849]

Awesome video, loved it. What a good looking bike! I actually work out there at goffs , landfair and amboy. Love it out there, especially out by landfair. The nature preserve is so awesome, its like another planet, so clean too. Thanks again!

[@DollyAndFamilyGetOutAndRide]

Great video. Love your videos and content. Looks like you had fun.

[@gaparrothead]

This video has so many laughs in it!! Keep 'em coming Ian!!

[@smacnee3278]

One of your better videos. Love it.

[@jaywhoisit4863]

I ride in East Africa. Wicked terrain and crazy experiences. But we don’t need to camp here. Every village has a basic hotel. Hot water, bed, cold beer. Usually for about 15 dollars a night. I never have to pack anything more than a change of clothes! Perfect.

[@BigRockMoto]

Very nice

[@BenH80]

100 on dirt! No speed wobbles or anything! Going to ride our T7s from San Diego to Cabo in 3 weeks. I hope to get a couple extra days to get some miles in the desert here. Great vid! Oh and the voice over part was hilarious!

[@BenH80]

It was a real adventure for sure. We stayed offroad as much as possible. We only stayed in our tents the whole way and ended up riding quite a bit at night for various reasons. The baja has it all. Beautiful areas and some crap holes but mostly wide open desert. The small section of mountain towns was awesome. We went down the sea of Cortez side and up the pacific side. Liked the sea of Cortez side and central parts the best. We started at the Tecate border crossing and had some awesome riding right away. I can't tell you everything but take some tubes. Lots of cactus. We just happened to be down there when the baja 500 was going on so got to see some of the teams and rigs. Oh and it gets cold at night so take a good jacket. I only brought my Klim induction jacket and was cold. Being in Mexico back country is unlike any BDR here. Highly recommend making the trip!

[@jnew3755]

Another great video Ian, appreciate all the effort you put in. Wish I had seen this video earlier, I know you're on the Husky now but I should get my 22 Tenere in another week or so. I'm going to look for more of your Yamaha set ups, springs etc. What you do helps so much!

[@elindenstein]

I owned a T7 for about a month back in the summer and totally didn't appreciate it because my Super Tenere 1200 is such a monster for touring. I added a KLX300 to the stable but it's making me sure think more about how damn big this Super T is and looking back towards maybe a T7 again at some point. The spice of life!

[@joekahng]

really enjoyed this longer format from big rock, and i have to say, u have a great sense of humor, hope to see it more~~

[@YamahaFJR1300andTriumphXC]

[@dougdekuiper3194]

👍. Loved going on this trip with you.

[@robertargel8639]

As a Wonderhussy fan I love ghost towns.

[@stefanofranzolini7174]

Thanks mr. Ian! Your videos are as good dose of freedom, they help to escape.A part from obviously giving a very realistic impression of the ride. And I hope you were joking when you thought it’s a failure having only 60k subscribers, because quality matters in any fields and i like to believe you and your subscribers are tuned the right way. Good luck chasing blondy!

[@brucekendall52]

Fascinating countryside on your doorstep,thanks for sharing.

[@rogermeyer3941]

What a great video, scenery and Bike setup Ian! You’re one of my fav KZbinr’s/ channels. 100mph on dirt/gravel 😮…I’d never attempt that on my R 12GSA.

[@rogerandroid2186]

You've got some really great roads and photogenic scenery around your part of the world. You are very lucky to have easy access to this. Keep up the good work.

[@BigRockMoto]

Thank you very much!

[@Desertduleler_88]

Great trip, seems so serene out there in the Mojave desert. l’d like to something similar in the outback of western Queensland.

[@ridingwithrusso7790]

Great video, amazing quality! Keep it up.

[@redbear1935]

I am surprised of how many riders don't see how great Yamaha's mirrors are. Long shape gives you great coverage of blind spot if adjusted correctly. Also reflection is stretched a bit to see better.

[@dionoliveira4058]

Love all the anecdotes, keeping it real, it's always your world irrespective........please count yourself very blessed, it's a tough world out here.

Keep it up! I absolutely love your videos. I look forward to every one of them. I literally have notification turned on for two channels, yours and Million Dollar Bogan. Two completely different platforms, but I can’t get enough of either. The word is getting out there on your content and the channel will continue to grow. By the way… the commentary during the audio outage was hilarious. To live a full life, we first must be able to laugh at ourselves. Can’t wait for the next video! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@andrew390]

White and Red is just straight-up classic! Good job getting rid of the sticker-set.

[@osimnod]

Living in NoCal in the Sierra foothills, it's hard to imagine what kind of wind it would take to spread a fire through rather isolated Joshua trees in the desert. I'm near where both the Camp and Dixie fires started and the forests are much more dense than those Joshua trees. Let's hope they recover and flourish. Thanks for taking us along on your 2 day adventure.

[@rallye81]

You must live near me as I live near where both those fires started too. NorCal is a great place to ride and even a better place to live…so long as there are no large, devastating wildfires and the smoke that comes along with them.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

You think you have expensive petrol [gas] you should try anywhere in Europe.

[@magargal4]

Oh no it’s true Europe gas prices are astronomical as well. It’s just in the US as of a year ago we were at $2.30/gal and now we’re looking at quite a hike in price. It’s certainly not enough to shy us away from doing what we love tho!

How both you and Pedro Mota have less than 1/10th of Itchyboots subscribers is beyond me. I loved your overdubbed commentary when the GOPro sound played up, very funny/witty and entertaining. More please. I think you could do with less music. The sound of that lovely exhaust against that scenery is fine. When you speak to the camera, try to look at the lens rather than the screen. Overall an excellent report, for me your best effort yet.

[@sv650nyc7]

It's easy: they're not an attractive woman.

[@jacogous2507]

Itchy boots channel has been on for longer and she has a very large female following also. My mother told me about itchy boots 😂. Then the fact that she travels around the world in different countries and also interacts with the people and showing their way of living makes things interesting. Putting all videos in seasons and 1 episode every 3 days. She also has good drone footage on her videos. And lastly i would say her friendly personality.

[@jacogous2507]

@@livingonarock5547 watching her video now S6 E6 she can speak spanish also 🤣

[@livingonarock5547]

Wrong @SV650NYC . I think she is average looking but its her great attitude and the fact that she travels 100% of the time through some crazy places all over the world by herself. Not and overnight trip in a nearby desert. I enjoy Ian’s videos but It’s just another level of adventure travel.

[@tomthomsen990]

She's an attractive blonde woman and there's a ton of horney old guys out there! Ian's a far better moto journalist.

[@kevinhill9372]

Great stuff Ian! Love your trip videos and enjoyed the tongue in cheek narrative with this one. Don’t be disheartened by those instagram “stars”. I asked a social media “lovely” (that I know) how (actually I meant why) she became so successful. Her reply was “I’m young, female and pretty and I milk it”. Keep the good content coming and enjoy everything you do. I live in New Zealand and we are not short on scenery but having been to California I can see why the desert is your happy place. Ride safe 👍
