Our most dangerous ride to Sturgis?! | Sturgis day one

[@HerTwoWheels]

Best day!!! Minus 105°!!!!

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

Thank God for Wind Chill Factor...

[@TheAbandonedWell]

I love your band patches on your vest!! Hell yeah!!

[@itchymoche]

Just watched for the second vid of yours. Thanks for the show. The ride, the adventure, the food, and the drink. My kind of fun. New sub.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thank you!

[@kr3garage]

I hoped over here after watching Jess's channel, Very cool seeing both of your channels calibrate together!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Right on! She's the best!

[@kr3garage]

I’ve been watching your videos all day

[@vics8873]

Next time your cruise stops working, Check your brake light. If it is stuck on, your cruise will not engage. If so, your rear brake light switch is failing. JP Cycles, about $40.

[@timothymcnaughton174]

You got South Carolina weather, 100 degrees and a 100 percent humidity!

[@mathiggins4264]

Yes it was hot that day we was Move some equipmentIs to our next job you guys be safe out there your buddy from Oxford

[@emeryhvac1023]

It was brutally hot out there this year!!! Sucks that we missed you guys!

[@cpuuk]

I like that you guys did the journey, rather than just the destination. Car-Henge LMAO. Thx for sharing.

[@GoodLifeRiders]

Nice job! I'm impressed you edited this whole there. I couldn't even pull a video off my cameras for a Reel. Missed seeing ya there.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Heather here, we actually got home yesterday early afternoon so I started editing last night and finished today! 😊

[@mikebodine4164]

Hey Brian my Cruise control quit working occasionally then I noticed my gear indicator wasn’t working now and then. It turned out to be my clutch switch. Looks like you are riding with good people. 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💯❤️

[@IndianSpringfield17]

Highlight of the day. AC at the hotels and restaurants. Lol

[@edsbikerstuff]

State of Nebraska keeps advertising here trying to get people to come there and they show that car hinge thing on there. When I saw that and the weird other stuff they had I thought Nah no way, but now that I've seen you badass bikers go there I'm thinking Yeah Way! Have fun at Sturgis. Thanks for sharing.

[@slyguyaction]

We rode 2up on our ‘17 RGU for our 2nd Sturgis trip!!! Just got back. The trip is just as fun. Love Sturgis…

[@ceasar3696]

That first gas stop was at Trotters in Broken Bow. I used to stop there often with the Big truck. It's the last place with food for a long ways when heading west.

[@freedom6919741]

On that flat ground at least you can see the tornados 🌪 coming lol.

[@jameswhelan2082]

How good is that car henge was so good to see # her two wheels in there with you guys

[@3RDOOR]

GooD morning to the Black Top’s 🥨☕️🌎🌤

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

[@Frankyfromnj]

[@leonbirdsell959]

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Leonnnnn! Great meeting you too! Safe travels!

[@StevyFaux]

Broken bow never has 91, I love the Sandhills. That hotel and restaurant look really familiar 😂

[@DebtheReb1369]

Really nice video @lifeontheblacktop ! I hope that you and @her.two.wheels had a great time in pre rally Sturgis. Love your battle vest Brian 🤘🏻

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thank you, I just got it done! This one is bands that inspired me when I was young and also have seen live. It turned out great!

[@oldshd11]

It was great meeting you two today (Monday) in Sturgis along with Her Two Wheels! It was a pleasure to spend a few minutes talking with y’all and actually getting to meet someone you follow on KZbin! Great pic of us as well! As expected y’all are awesome in person and I failed to mention how appreciative I am for what y’all do. I know it’s gotta be alot of work but there are people all over the world that watch your videos and enjoy your content! Have a great rest of your week in the Black Hills! - Scotty

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Great meeting you as well brother! It is a lot of work, but comments like this one make every single minute of that worth it! I'm glad our paths crossed, thanks for stopping to say hi. 👊

[@Kenn1969]

🤣🤣🤣You had me fooled until I saw it!!! 😂😂Well done!👍

[@mikedanaher3413]

I came through Nebraska Wednesday and Thursday on my way to Denver and back home again. I looked for y’all but didn’t see the three of you. Ride safe and enjoy the Rally. My big ride this weekend will be to mom and dad’s for dinner tonight. It’s a big trip, 10-12 miles round trip but the chow is always worth it. Then back in the truck for California on Tuesday morning. Love your videos. I live vicariously through you. 👍

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Brian and Heather, Safe Travels. Looks like your having fun. See ya down the road. Thanks for Sharing!

[@Averagegamer09]

Her two wheels brought me here!! Loving the content!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Right on, thanks for stopping by!

[@shane8493]

Third wheel Brian 😂😂😂

[@Sam-blackwidow7329]

Safe travels keep the shiny side up and have fun see you guys there 2023

[@heritage_cowboy6568]

Hey guys, It's been awhile. Glad to see yer headed to Sturgis. We're not able to go financial has kicked our butt this year. We was in Omaha a few years ago on a project there, while we was there we had our seat worked on and they did great. They some awesome bikes and cars there. My next project is in Utah which has great riding in north east. So anyway just stopped to say hey and enjoy the ride.

[@josephdoyle5702]

It's nice to see you guys back at again!👍😎

[@vitovitale8098]

Road trip to Sturgis is always a good time. See you guys out there next year. Ride safe.

[@RodHog1]

Love the videos just left the chip back to Tennessee

[@jdreyno1958]

Have a safe trip

[@lylewatkins4134]

🎼🎵🎵Taking the ride ta Sturgisss🎶🎶

[@ErnieT777]

Two places I hate traveling across is western Kansas and western Nebraska. There’s a whole lot of nothing out there. Don’t worry, the scenery will change! 🤠Ya’ll stay safe out there and have a great time! 🍻

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

Are you doing a meet and greet somewhere in Sturgis? It's raining cats and dogs today in SD but should be fine all week.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Good to see you again man! 👊

[@cheyenneyakima8695]

I enjoy both of you guys videos. Keep up the great work. Iceman. 50 years of riding...

[@johnclendaniel3313]

Great video.

[@PileofBrass]

It's nice to see you two back on the bikes and back on the road. Nebraska looks like my home area of Kansas. Ugh.

[@citizenkane5743]

Rode across Nebraska coming back from the black hills some years ago (went before the rally) got stung in the belly doin 80. Yelled at the wife damn I think somebody shot me!!! Pulled over and lifted my shirt up an pulled a HUGE ass stinger out of my stomach. My buddy said well that’s more exciting then the scenery!!

[@TheBandit7613]

I'd rather be in rural Ne or Ks than any state east of the Mississippi. Sparsely populated with tough people farming and ranching on the rolling prairie.

[@beercanbrian1880]

Cool video from regular folks actually riding to Sturgis versus the RV folks with trailers. Subbed.

[@billcobb9408]

I have to do my hydration vest for sure. It works for me. A real game changer for me.

[@whskywolf]

Oh the heat can be miserable, but rather be in it riding than just out in it.

[@PJMCG19]

Hey Brian and Heather. If you guys find yourselves in the Ciro tent, please say hi to my buddy Doug from Maine. He is one of their sales reps out there this year. Thank you, Patrick

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Planning to hit the Ciro tent in the morning so we will say hi!

[@PJMCG19]

BTW, absolutely love your channel. You guys are so positive, it lifts my heart. Thank you for allowing all of us to peak into your lives the way you do.

[@professor767]

New subscriber. LIke your easy going style. Good content. I did see some of your earlier Sturgis videos. Enjoyed them. I looked at your last video about your E-bike. Great choice. We spend winters in Hilton Head SC, and all I ride down there is an E-bike. Great for the bike trails down there. I only ride my Honda CTX700 motorcycle in upstate New York. Love our scenic rides up here though. Ride safe.👍

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thanks for joining!

[@JoneszsRides]

Great job and car hinge is better then the Cadillac ranch.

[@gtestastretta1]

Great content, put a smile on my face more than once. Take care out there!

[@whatsbruin59]

Enjoy your trip and ride safe Love your videos

[@Kuztomshop]

I follow of both you and I'm from Ohio. I've also ridden to Stugis from Ohio and I can tell you the scenery is far better on the way Sturgis than it is leaving.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

The plains get a little stale after awhile 😀

[@marknagel4418]

You two are so funny and carhenge looks cool maybe I'll have to visit Nebraska some day

[@liftbig03]

Safe travels! Your friend is from Ohio? Last year my wife and I rode out from Ohio on my 2012 Heritage. My third time riding out and her first. Can't wait to do it again. Thanks for the vid. Brings back all the great memories of the ride and the rally.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

She is! She rode 1500 miles to get here. Her channel is @Her Two Wheels if you want to check her out. That sounds like a fun trip! You'll definitely have to come out again.

[@DeBa1226]

Wow, I loved that road in the beginning running alongside the railroad tracks, what trail was that? Did you guys run from North Platte to Valentine?

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

We took highway 23 to 283, then highway 2 up through alliance. Decent roads and scenery!

[@ocglide2566]

jealous I can’t go this year. Be safe and have a great time.

[@danieljarvis7406]

Someone from the UK here. Car henge looks way more interesting than stone henge! ;)

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Haha!

[@aquahombre]

Mrs.Life on the Blacktop, is there a turkey leg waiting for you in Sturgis? Lol Be safe and enjoy.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

I came, I saw, I conquered!

[@okiemoto6114]

Fun times for your trio! My wife and I are riding to visit your fair state to see Alan Jackson later this month. Hoping for nice weather. Lincoln is the city where the concert is. His fair well tour. I always enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Enjoy our state and Alan Jackson! I haven't jammed some AJ tunes in awhile!

[@97irishflyer]

I rode up from North Platte on Saturday, almost cold after being cooked for the past few months. Rained on Sunday on the way back. I hope you take Jess to Smith Falls by Valentine! That will redeem Nebraska for her..😄

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

We didn't have time to do that, but maybe someday we'll take her there! if I can ever convince her to come back to Nebraska 😂

[@davidmondello6504]

Ride safe!

[@danarevell9425]

I love riding in Nebraska. I'm from the western end. Ken & Dale's is great. Be safe maybe I'll see you at the rally.

[@TheWhitneyfam]

We road thru the storm last Friday. We pulled over after we out ran it and had a come to Jesus moment

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I’m moving to sturgis / rapid in a couple weeks. Was really hoping to run down for the rally and my birthday but I’m just too busy so I gotta hope I make it another year then I’ll live there. Wife’s already living in the new house while I finish prepping the sale of the old house. Killing me not being there but such is life.

[@jimpaull428]

Where did you get your decal? They did a great job.

[@glidearkansas]

Great content, as always! Ride safe and enjoy your trip!

[@bigscout1584]

I found you on her two wheels and subscribed to the channel

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Thank you!

[@lpete531]

I'm officially the third wheel 😅😅 and it's so awesome her two wheels riding with you, look forward to more content from Sturgis, be safe 🙏🏽

[@mitakuyeoyesin1739]

Had the bikes inside a toy hauler camper this year for Sturgis... it sort of felt wrong.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Bet you were nice and cool the whole trip though lol

[@toddmalchose462]

ENJOY

[@DeBa1226]

By the way, you able to ride the whole Outlaw Trail on the way home?

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Unfortunately not, it's farther east and North

[@jimgrady7458]

From the title I was wondering what might be so dangerous about this particular ride........and then @1:10 ...ok, got it 👍 good luck

[@benjaminmeyers9454]

I'm planning on going next year. Gonna ride from Alabama to Sturgis. Be safe.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

That’ll be a good ride!

[@benjaminmeyers9454]

Oh yeah. Already looked it up. Little over 1400 miles one way.

[@nathanbrodeur]

For the cruise control on your bike it could be some corrosion in the switch or corrosion on the ground wire I’d start there before having to get a new ecu

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Yeah I agree. I'll dig into it when we get home . Hopefully it's just a little corrosion or was just a glitch

[@nathanbrodeur]

@@LifeontheBlacktop if it’s just corrosion get dielectric grease to put on the connectors and if it’s a loose ground things like this can happen

[@markcrook1292]

I’m not going to miss running up 385, going through Wyoming this year

[@smilingbiter]

I watch a lot of bike videos and In most of them, they show numerous humongous meals. I put weight on just watching these, and have to go on a Carnivore Diet immediately afterwards. LOL🤷‍♂😊

[@davescrazy-trailer6542]

Hello from Sturgis hope to see you at Kathmandu Monday at 3:00 for the KZbinr meet up

[@graybeard7408]

AAHHHHH Nebraska nothing but miles and miles of miles and miles......

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

and miles of nothing...

[@bobellis2912]

Absolutely love you guys. Looking forward to hearing about your trip. Take care of Jess. She’s awesome.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

We love her! 🥰

[@jamespolucha6911]

We got stuck out there one year and it was in the triple degrees some dude turned us on to wet vests soak in water and ride like ac is on

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Those work great! Jess used hers and it helped her a lot!

[@geraldboyles3492]

My 2011 Roadglide Ultra did the same thing. Pulled in to Harley dealer, talked to tech and he told me the contacts in resume/set switch get a little corrosion on them sometimes. He handed me a can of PB Blaster spray penetrant and had me spray in the slot above switch. Did that and worked it a few times. Wala no more issues. This was in fall of 2021. Hope this helps.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Good to know!

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

I might dig into it a little bit when we get home. Appreciate the tip!

[@honda200twinstar3]

What im curious to know is what the earliest vehicle and whats the newest vehicle there at car hegde that might give one an idea as to when it was done hmm or how old it or new it couldn't be ..

[@alex_rides7858]

How many miles does your bike have? I saw on her two wheels channel is a 2011 I think. And 12 trips to Sturgis. That's some seat time.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

This bike has over 50k! 😁

[@ThatFataLGuy]

Kearney guy here, any plans for Sturgis this year?

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Hoping to have details on that sooner than later but we are for sure going!

[@ThatFataLGuy]

@@LifeontheBlacktop good shit I’ll be heading up the 31st for pre-rally staying at the chip this year. It’s good to see some locals to me showing what Nebraska riding is!

[@nelmar5560]

Jess bending down is decompressing her spine.

[@benjaminlaplante8090]

eight trees omg 😢

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

There used be a lot of grass around there.

[@r.j.devaney780]

Keep us with you on this journey.. good content! Tell HTW to not appear so overwhelmed with the scenery... Sometimes it just pays to be the third wheel😉😉

[@screwplanplaybook7121]

Riding in the sand Hill's 🤠👍

[@2WheelsTN]

Hey in case ya'll didn't hear the name of the fanny pack has been updated to "nut ruck" lol

[@billcobb9408]

I can’t do the vest thing when it’s hot.

[@RoyJenkins777]

My cruise control did that once also but never again, probably just a glitch. We need some LOTB fanny packs in the world :) . Good stuff brother. God Bless

[@johndeleon4081]

Go Big Red

[@DSJoyrides]

All that flat reminds me of Texas. Flat, brown, windy, hot AF.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

I have a friend in Saskatchewan and it looks pretty similar up there too. We chose a poor longitude to live on lol

[@DSJoyrides]

@@LifeontheBlacktop Agreed. I'm ok with hills, trees, lakes, etc. Dirt and weeds are no fun.

[@billcobb9408]

I think if the brake switch makes contact it will not work. I had a bad rear brake switch. I was on a trip when failed.

[@jonathonscott7776]

Same thing happened to me last summer. It wouldn't release so my brake light stayed on which wouldn't allow Cruise to engage. I have become dependant on Cruise control and will do whatever it takes to keep it working. It has saved me so many speeding tickets (yes, I sometimes get distracted gawking at the scenery).

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

That happened to my buddy awhile back. Took us forever to figure out what was going on. One day I just noticed his brake light kept flickering on and off and it dawned on me what was up .

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

North Dakota has the least trees of any state and it’s by a margin you wouldn’t even believe. If you ever think Nebraska sucks just come visit ND LOL.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

😂

[@benjaminlaplante8090]

[@jimweagant8920]

Have a safe ride try not to get over heated
