Saying Good-bye | Adventuring Home to South Carolina | The third question I am often asked.

[@zinak27]

Nice 👍🏽Cute pink bike - Scary driving at night

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thank you 🤗 Yes... a little more alertness needed to ride at night...especially since my eyes are not as good as they used to be.

[@tiffanyrene]

Excellent video thanks for taking us with you. Glad you had a safe ride

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

It was a great ride home. Hope you enjoy!

[@gregorr1404]

Awesome riding

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thanks. It was a great ride for sure. Loved every second of it.

[@charlesmcdaniel5925]

Nice views!

[@LizakDominik1988]

Love it.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback.

[@annettegraham4222]

Love watching your videos. My husband is teaching me to ride our Tri Glide. I have been riding on the back for 40 years. Being the driver is a whole different feeling. You are inspiring me keep going. I can do this. Thanks and blessings to you.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

That is so great to hear. YES... being the driver is totally different, but oh so liberating and freeing. Love getting out there. Thank you so much.

[@artnoble1227]

Amen

[@melaniepeters6581]

Loved it! Saying good-bye is never easy. Can see the sadness in your eyes when you told Melinda good-bye. Great ride for sure.

[@HarleyGurl114]

Great trip! My rain suit never leaves my bag….,it has its own spot!! Always sad to say goodbyes…..but I never use those words I always say “see you later” my sister says “bye for now”

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

That is a great idea... until next time, see you later... :). As a mother to a Marine, I should be used to those.

[@davidcrisp9513]

That was totally Awesome & Inspiring ! Yep !...I would say YOU ARE BLESSED !!!

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Yes I am! Praise be to God.

[@ChasCrewChief]

Congratulations on the long safe ride. I am amazed how smooth the camera captures the ride. Thanks for sharing

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I love the insta360 and editing. Thank you.

[@melissamcdaniel7174]

What a great trip ...

[@johnmeixner488]

Wow! Over 800 miles. in one day, Very impressive. I turn 73 this month And just traded in my Road Glide for the RG3. I just wanted to let you know I paid very close attention to your videos Especially on your RG3. They helped me make a good choice. Thank you very much. And keep up the good work. P.S. I got the black one.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Awesome!!!❤️🥰. My husband and I love the RG3s for sure. So glad you were able to get a ride that is right for you. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. Love the black. Did you get it with chrome or blacked out?

[@johnmeixner488]

Guys in my age bracket always go with chrome.@@MidLifeStyleTwins

[@harleyfiremedic7796]

Thanks for bringing us along. Always enjoy meeting folks I would not have met if I wasn't on the bike. One thing, I just can't plan atrip without knowing exactly where I am staying each night.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I try to set up 2 or 3 options along the way... so if I can go further than one hotel I had another option as a back up on down the road-- all depending on how I feel. I hate being locked in to any one of them. I did learn the importance of checking availability throughout the day though. For this instance, I was glad I did not have a reservation because I was not tired when I hit SC and wanted to just keep going. Thanks so much for watching.

[@jimweagant8920]

Thanks for the ride and video

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thank you for watching.

[@melaniepeters6581]

I also love that your parents prayed with you. That is so special.

[@jonathanmchugh5978]

Wow that is a lot of miles in one day, very impressive. Great video and I’m glad you made it back safe. You are an inspiration let me tell you. Be safe. Jonathan 🇬🇧

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thank you so much.

[@MotoNorseman]

I’ve done 15 hours before. I got to my original destination and I said “just two more hours”. And then it would be “just two more hours” and then it was “well I may as well just make it home”. I enjoy stopping at places but at the end of a three week trip, I’m just ready to get home!

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

Hello that was a great adventure saying goodby is never easy when i use to travel a lot the trips were always great but getting back home to myrtle beach was always good, you are truely blessed to have your parents to visit i can tell you,all are a close family thanks for the video stay safe

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Yes, God has given me a close and wonderful family. There will be a day we will never have to say good-bye again :). Until then, I will enjoy the ride. Thanks again, so much, for watching and commenting.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Wow Buckeys is HUGE

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

[@rayhjohnson]

Wow what a ride. You put us to shame. My folks were from southern Indiana and Illinois near Evansville. Thanks for sharing what your faith means to you. We try and do the same but doubt we’ll ever do 845 miles in one day. Probably not two. God Bless and look forward to more videos.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Thank you so much for watching and your feedback.

[@CharlesJrSmith]

Great video i enjoyed the sights that you enjoyed, i especially liked it when you passed through my home (LOUISVILLE KY) ,my wife and i was coming south on I /75 from Bucc'ees would have been nice if my wife and I had seen you, thank God for letting you have a safe trip back Home

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

❤️ yes praise be to God for his travel mercies. Fond memories of Louisville. Thank you so much for watching.

[@ridingwiththewhitleys3715]

I know what you mean about meeting people on your rides. I love that as well when I do my rides. Any time I get a chance to talk about my bike, I relish it. When we did our ride from Vegas to Tennessee just a couple of weeks ago, we met and talked with a few people. Hey, we rode through Gatlinberg, Pigeon Forge, and the Tail of the Dragon. So much fun. Congrats on doing your longest ride so far on your new trike.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I was totally impressed with your video and I’m going to share it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoapk4enaN2Nbposi=4MNNf3HXHuuKCwPu

[@josephb7460]

Melissa! I hate saying goodbye to a loved one. It's worse when you get older cause it might be the last. That was a long ride. If you are not tired it's a waste of time to stop if you can stand it. Now you know, if you had no choice, that you can go farther than you planned if you have to. Glad to see you made it home safely with no problems ....................... 😎👍👍

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Yep, glad I know the limits of the gas tank and my personal limits. Next time I will push to hit the full 1000 miles - Iron-butt.

[@josephb7460]

@@MidLifeStyleTwins Yeah! Iron Butt ...... Git'r done 😠💪 ....................... 😎👍👍

[@karlmacburnie1573]

Amazing how much better the motorcycle headlights are compared to those in 1960's. Even if i don't have LED ones.

[@howardhobbs9333]

Hey Gal sorry that we didn’t see you come through our home town,Knoxville.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

You live in an absolutely beautiful area of the country. Would have been nice to see you.

[@johnsalvi9073]

You’re twins? I thought she was your daughter. I was just confused still am, but you have a safe trip!

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Melinda and I are twins. I have a daughter that is with me on some of my trips and in some of my videos. (My daughter is Kayla).

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

Now that you have made a good long trip on your new bike which do you like the best this one or the triglide both are beautiful bikes

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I actually love the openness of this RG3 more than the Triglide, but honestly they both ride very well. Not one time during this trip did I regret trading the triglide in for this one. Now... on my trip with my daughter (after my next video, I will be working to edit and produce some awesome videso of our 4100 mile trip together)... she wishes I still had the Triglide. I do not think the passenger seat is very good on this RG3 ... definitely need a new seat.

[@richardmourdock2719]

A bit disappointed that you didn't return by riding through Evansville.. but to get home in one day is always best. And I didn't know there was a Buc-ees in Kentucky. Who knew?

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

Yeah, those storms were heading right through your area at the time I would make it through there. Had to change the route. The KY Bucees was just opened in 2022.

[@carlosdavis4849]

Always love your videos but the little princess made the video what you think 🥰

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

She most certainly did. God is so good to bring people into my path to make our days sweeter

[@dougm5231]

Hey Melissa.. I have a question. Having never rode a RG bike before I had demo'd rode the RG3 during Biketoberfest (FL) and the first thing I noticed was wind turbulence coming off the fixed fairing that I don't have on the batwing. I couldn't tell if it was over the top or from the vents in the fairing. When you switched bikes did you notice as well?

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I did not notice any difference except the independent steering. I am not sure if it was the vents. In fact, I think I read somewhere that the 3 vents help with that buffering.

[@dougm5231]

@@MidLifeStyleTwins Guess I'll need to ride a regular RG to find out..

[@dianedenroche1496]

Hi Melissa, what time did you leave to head to SC??

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

I left around 8-830 I think. Took about 13 hours I think to get home.

[@tommcknight8676]

If you are ever around Ohio along the river give me a shout I would love to take a ride with you

What is your bike. My son just got a Harley triglide trike but the front doesn’t look like yours

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

It is the Road Glide 3, new for Harley for 2023. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j57TiGB-Ztxnna8si=qRDoKssK5qhkeDEi

[@Roman-Legion]

I've ridden for years and I have this saying, I don't know if original but I'm pretty old so it might be. Quote: I never start off in the rain but I've ended up in it lots of times. By the way, at the end of June, I traded my all black Ultra Classic, for a 2024 all black Road Glide 3. I never thought I would ride a trike but its grown on me since I've bought it.

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

That is awesome. Whatever keeps you out in the wind. Yep, try not to start in the rain but have finished in it a few times.
