ON THE ROAD AGAIN!! - First Tow With Bunkhouse Motorcycle Camper (S3 EP2)

While winter has settled in for most of the country, it’s time to head deep south on the motorcycles for warmer pastures. Today we’re bound for McLean, Arizona and the Whitewater Draw Wildlife Refuge, which comes complete with free camping and 10,000+ of the noisiest birds around.
But we don’t mind in the least - it’s warm(er) and who can complain when you’re riding a motorcycle.
Till next time, ride safe!
Rich & Chris ❤️

I have no words to describe how much i love your lifestyle never get tired of it !! 👋👋

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

You're the best!

[@willa1763]

[@darrylmoffett8323]

First off I’m sorry for your loss Chris. I’ve watched all of y’all travels from the beginning. Richard, Chris is one heck of a wife. Which I’m sure you realize many years ago. But for a wife to give up her home and travel as you two do, is amazing. She’s a keeper. Most women I’ve known think that staying in a hotel is roughing it. Ride safe and have fun.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

She is a Keeper for sure.

[@mikejw58]

...not to mention, she’s HOT 😎

[@kevinkinney5445]

I knew a woman whose interpretation of roughing it meant No Room Service.

[@toddanderson1568]

I am 60 the wife is ... well we won’t say... but we tent camped all the time when young. We both are just amazed at how you two do it. Now you have the camper. That is awesome. We love the videos and wish you both the best. If you’re ever around north central MO you got a place to stay. Take care. Ride safe.

[@richardmourdock2719]

So sorry for your loss Chris. I lost both my parents while I was in my late 60s....It is a blessing in life when your parents become your friends and I enjoyed that for many, many years. Hope you had the same experience. The memories get more precious daily. Travel safe and keep reminding Rich, absolutely no tailgating of the cars or trucks ahead! Stay safe.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Couldn't agree more with you, Richard. Having my mom as my best friend for many years was fantastic and she's missed very much.

[@randalltom9750]

My condolences for the loss of your Mother... I’m reminded of a verse: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ It’s a comfort to know God loves us. Safe Travels.

[@rolytaylor4169]

So sorry about your mother. I am up here in Calgary, Canada where our bike riding season is from May to September. I get my bike fix watching your travels. Ride safe

[@Titan500J]

I’m watching this video in April of 2022. I didn’t know that your mom had passed away. I am sorry for your loss.🙏🏻

[@johnnysechrist6313]

New camper is great for the cold because it keeps you off the ground...great choice for the long haul especially the larger wheels and tires.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Very true!

[@toddricketts9498]

Sorry for your loss GOD BLESS enjoy the road

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@kennethrea79]

Sorry about your mom. My mom passed last year. I live in Michigan. I love riding my bike. Been fowling your videos of towing a trailer and want to get one for my motorcycle. I have road to the U.P. of Michigan on several occasions. And it would be easier to put everything in the trailer then strapping it all down on the bike.

[@master6676]

I know this is old but wanted to share my experience in NM and AZ . the best place to get good drinking water is at supermarkets. They have machines that filter and fill your jugs cheaper than gallons or whatever. Safe to drink and reliable. Many who live there use these as well.

[@jamesroberts9192]

Thanks. Never thought I'd like a red pink or whateveri it is. But boy did that one change my mind. I love the inside color and the white outside. That's one you can be proud of. 😎😊

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you like it!

[@davechavezjr5399]

I envy your adventurous spirit guys! My wife and I belonged for many years to the GoldWing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) and traveled many miles pulling a Bushtec trailer! Matching Honda Yellow bike and trailer! Lots of interesting places and experiences. However, we weren’t brave enough to do it full time like you guys. Travel safe!

[@johnmeyer7655]

I installed electric brakes on our trailer, which we pulled behind a Goldwing. I wired the brakes in series. It worked very well.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

👍🤔🤔

[@ThePolak700]

Wow, just wow. That's all I have. Love it.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you like it!

[@frankcates3909]

I'm still here to CHEER Y'all on.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Frank.

[@johnallright6847]

Love watching your videos and just sat here In England with a bottle o beer chilling and relaxing after a days roofing wishing I was over there . Keep looking after each other and God bless you.

[@bigalon3wheels]

There ya go, now you are above ground living higher, LOL, still a tent, but a much more pleasant unit simply because it is off the ground and will be better when the rain comes. I like it

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

It's pretty nicer so far

[@thomaswilhelm]

Sorry for your loss.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@StaitlyNatters]

A good tip for freezing foods, freeze them as flat as possible, they will pack better in an esky, and when it’s time to defrost they will thaw a bit quicker

[@Hawkross]

Sorry to hear about you mom.... Ben following ya'll for about three months now and very much enjoy your adventures. Glad you are back.

[@jelau4851]

Big Butt.... so funny, Love to see you riding in the Sun. Awsome

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You Cheers!!

[@fishpatty9140]

Sorry for you loss! Prayers!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@marshalljohn1]

I dont comment on these at all . But yall are so cool. In so many ways. Thank you for making these videos. Totally enjoyable.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

Sorry for your loss. The loss of a parent, while perhaps expected, is still an extremely hard loss. Prayers for you.

[@Rski1234]

So sorry for your loss.

[@MsBg1946]

Love your bigger trailer much better than the smaller one

[@ronbranum4134]

I'm just watched one of your videos that you guys are great bless your mama I'm sorry for your loss be safe on the road us truckers watch out for you guys very closely

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Ron! It's nice to know that truckers are watching out for bikers. We try not to hang out around trucks going down a freeway - like to give them lots of space. Plus they're a lot bigger than us.

[@u5T30]

My sincere condolences sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind thoughts. Chris

[@garytongate4389]

Kudos to Richard; that's a LOT of weight to manage, especially on dirt or gravel! But, I'm sure the comfort is worth it.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Gary - Rich handles it like a champ.

[@jman4995]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Stay safe

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@robertoacuna2415]

I'm sorry for your lost, 🙏. Good luck on your new adventure.

[@robertoacuna2415]

Sorry ; loss.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank you!

[@not-fishing4730]

Passed at home is the best by far.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes that what she wanted also.

[@delano810]

Sorry about your loss of your Mother Chris. Praying for you both.

[@billwilliams9527]

Holy Christmas, 61 mpg on that BMW K1200, what a machine. Love that pull camper, beats tent camping every time. My opinion, that K1200 would be a much better machine to pull that camper.

[@gregrankins991]

So sorry for your loss

[@pauljoplin6881]

Chris sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. i know you will miss her. Be safe and God bless. Love the camper.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Paul - yes she is very much missed.

[@duanesmith5074]

Yep that Harley Davidson Road Glide makes the perfect trailer bowling motorcycle we call it the RV. We went to Alaska all the way to Prudhoe Bay 35 days on the road it was an incredible trip pulled the trailer up and back no problems wonderful Adventure

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Great to hear. We call Ms Alice the Truck The only issues we ha e had are from the dealerships. I found only one that is worthy and that’s Thunderbird Harley Davidson in Albuquerque NM.

[@jimanness4586]

Sorry for your loss.. safe travels.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@stephenmccabe9941]

Sorry for the loss of your Mother May she rest in Peace. I think you are going to enjoy the bunkhouse I am looking forward to this season of your travels

[@alfonsocasillas7290]

Looks like a great adventure. Sorry for your loss

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You! And it is a great adventure.

[@rayworx]

First.... Sorry about your loss Chris. Next... I noticed a new tire on the BMW. Whoever installed it forgot to take the info sticker off the tire before installation. If a shop did this they should be drawn-and-quartered!! The first time you hit your front brake while in a turn and you just happen to be on that sticker... well you could be on your side before you know it!

[@paulrobles571]

Sorry for your loss god bless and stay safe

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@sarangmazharali5068]

I love you both ,I also love traveling like you on bikes it's adventurous and while travelling we got to know that how much the life is beautiful and world is beautiful,and the challenges which we face while travelling teach us alot it makes us good Human ,teach us lots of things about life ,iam Muslim , not good Muslim but still iam praying for you that you get all the happiness, wealth,in your life , Allah paak gives you both all the things which make your lifes very happy ,and always happy,love you both,and iam so happy to see you both are together, Allah paak makes your life easy and happy ,🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🥰

[@ronp1713]

Hellothis is my first video I watched .I love motorcycling also I've been looking into a bunk style trailer to travel with and save money from hotels ..my wife doesn't ride her own bike but maybe in the future it would help with us being able to carry more camping supplies....I love being able r to really enjoy the wildlife that goes along with camping where the end of the day takes you..

[@williamgibbs9672]

Sorry Chris, for hearing about the loss of your Mother. Enjoyed your video and the sunrise was awesome.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank you so much, William. Appreciate your thoughts.

[@danpoczynek]

sorry for you loss ...

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@johnthomas2485]

Sorry for the loss of your mom. I dread the day my mom goes. I really enjoy your videos. I love you include when things don't go exactly right. My philosophy is, if you don't have a story when you get back, you didn't have an adventure. Not sure what your water filter is, but most reverse osmosis will filter out anything harmful. Chef Boyardee pizza sauce is the best. What is the White tarp on the trailer for?

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

As Amanda Says from As The Magpie Flies, Adventure begins when Things go wrong.

[@almikelipscomb]

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I've been helping my sister takie care of my Mom who is now 90 years old. Looking forward to your videos with the bunkhouse.. I am just starting on my bike adventures once the weather wams up on east coast. I'll be tenting it. But I like all the info you provide so I can avoid making too many newby mistakes. Thanks for everything. My big trip after some smaller dry runs will be Baltimore to Vegas in June/July 2021.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome glad we can help. We are still learning.

[@destinationoutdoors4919]

You are an inspiration and I enjoy your video's. Keep up the good works.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I appreciate that!

[@mikewalters4994]

I LOVE YOUR NEW CAMPER!!! ENJOY !!!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks

[@brianjohnhendry4062]

God bless you from NZ.. You got bike covers now that will be great. .

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes, Brian - we love our bike covers. Should have done that last year.

[@ruudschut6286]

Great! Enjoy every part of the trip. Looking forward to new video's 😎👍

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

More to come!

[@leesmith5419]

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thank You

[@himydad1499]

Look at all those birds... Magnificent ! Like your new hairstyle Chris :-)

[@imadjubranimad3341]

Sorry for your loss. My device to you go on the dark side, car tire on the rear wheel of your bike if you are towing, motorcycle tire won’t last longer then 5k miles and it may blow up or crack in the grove and that will cause air leaks even if the tire still new, I went through all that and ended up doing, car tire last much longer and I use run flat tire.

[@dejonsmall9886]

Chris, Richard glad to see you back on the road. Rich you might want to upgrade those Harley Air Shocks, they suck buttermilk. If you are in So Cal, Victorville to be exact look up Terry Cable. He makes great shocks. If you're coming up the 10 toward Tuson stop in Wilcox and have some chow at Big Tex BBG, you won't regret in. There are Sand Cranes in Wilcox also...

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Freddie. Yes I know all to well that the Stock Shocks are bad. No Budget yet.

[@medinaruben786]

Sorry about your loss, you guys are awesome and see all positive things of life. Grettings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and continues following your dreams. God Bless you.

[@martindoyle5354]

So sad to lose your Mom. But life goes on so make the most of yours.

[@stitch7967]

Sorry for your loss Chris. My mom passed away this last December. Her health was failing, alztimers and dementia. Complications of Covid-19 didn't help. Glad to see your videos again. Stay safe and healthy you two.

[@jameslovelace8958]

Chris and Rich I noticed that you used a Lodge cast iron skillet. The next time you come to Tennessee make a point to visit the Lodge Outlet store in South Pittsburg, TN. You can find anything you want in the way of cast iron. Also check out the right hand wall as you go in the door. This area has all the seconds in it. It may have a blemish or slag that didn’t get off before it cooled. But it doesn’t effect the use at all. And you can get those items at 50% off most of the time. Just north of interstate 24 in Jasper, TN is the old city cemetery where people from the American Revolution and Civil War are buried. I’d love to show you around Chattanooga sometime.

[@jimharper5978]

My condolences for your mother. I am glad it didn't cramp your lifestyle.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks so much - it was very sad to see how fast she went, but we were so blessed to be with her in her final weeks.

[@sus8e462]

Just starting to see your videos--2 yrs since you posted this! "M" Mountain, yay! I went to college at NMT in Socorro, which you passed by... (though glad to be back in PNW--not far from another trip you did to Orcas Island!). But Bosque del Apache refuge just south of Socorro is great for cranes & snow geese, too & near the best green chili cheeseburgers at The Owl Bar in San Antonio, NM!! Your gc stew & memories is making me think of a road trip!!!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

We call Albuquerque home lived there 19years. Yes best Green Chili cheeseburger at the Owl go to some of first videos they are mostly New Mexico. Cheers. Thanks for watching.

[@gregorykemp2864]

God bless your Mom. Stay safe.

Hi friends! Just got through watching your video and thought it was amazing. Having said that, I had subscribed to your guy's channel and hope to see more adventurous adventure's. Ride safe and God bless.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cathymisze3163]

So sorry to hear about your mom. Muskegon County residents here and motorcycle riders as well.

[@twatson6252]

Hello from Middlevile Michigan sorry for your loss of your mom sending many prayers stay safe out there love your videos.

[@lynnj7495]

Sorry for your loss. Enjoying watching the journey ! Safe travels !

[@richardroos5965]

I second Darryl's comment. I too am sorry for your loss. Mom must have been a great woman for both you, Chris, and Mom's son-in-law, Richard to drop what you were doing and travel to her bedside. As Darryl said, the good woman ("one heck of a wife") certainly reflects the good mother who instilled such goodness and values in your life, Chris. May that new saintly woman in Heaven put in a good word to the Lord for your health and safety in your travels.

[@robertmacdonald2735]

Canada Rob - Very very sorry for your loss and good you were there.

[@housetrash]

So sorry for your loss Chris.

You guys Rock! You look comfy in the new digs. I think it’s all part of the fun getting your grove on. Stay safe and I’ll be watching!

[@billcarothers9182]

Prayers . Enjoy the road ! Excited for season 2 !!!

[@baltsosser]

I helped a friend pick up one of those. If you have any problems with the canvas on the add a room part a lovely woman named Gail Huff on the bunkhouse forum on Facebook makes them. Hope you really enjoy the new camper.

[@bryansaams3598]

Sorry to hear about your mother. God bless you 9n your adventures

[@scottyoung4583]

Sorry to hear of your family’s loss. Peace to all of you. The smaller trailer was already on the edge of smart. This big trailer is a bad idea for towing behind the bike. Please buy a suitable tow truck and a toy hauler and keep up all the great videos.

[@scottyoung4583]

I think you guys are amazing BTW - my heroes.
