Please DO NOT put music to Your riding.

[@Derek-tm4ho]

Have you watched KZbin they censor that unless it's open. Why do you have to try and give a guy a hard time?

[@OSOFLHP]

It's nice to share your ride, good to see you back on you tube.

[@sid5156]

Scotty please don't put music. The engine is the music to my ears.

[@Bass.Player]

No music!

[@scootertrampscotty]

Good! Then I don't have to lean how to do all that music stuff.

[@GetThrottled]

Good stuff Scotty! Thanks for bringing us along! NO music please

[@cglenncowdell2408]

No music please, I like the sound of the open road.

[@lloydsparling4439]

Matches trace looks like a beautiful ride👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@browngreen933]

I know Breton from his channel. He's currently on his Beagle Barge boat headed south on the Mississippi River racing against the onset of winter! PS: No music please!

[@rodmeisterful]

Screw the music!

[@TracyGunz]

Don't change a thing with ur videos. No music while riding, it fits some but wouldn't fit yours IMO! I know these are older videos, I've seen them all! That guy who wanted you to hang out you met at Mcdonalds stayed in a camper in a field. I remember watching that video.

[@scootertrampscotty]

Just gonna mix some of those old videos in with the new. I'll mark which is which though.

[@davidhowell3657]

The sound of your v twin running smoothly is music.

[@danbarrette9888]

No music, great roads, people you met are fantastic.

[@philiporourke7896]

Its about 400 miles long, and its great for bicycle touring and camping.

[@BamaTraveller]

The Trace is definitely a safe, slow ride of solitude. Are you in Mexico yet?

[@scootertrampscotty]

Not yet.

[@nadewitt-yf6ng]

Scooter, hope you had a great Thanksgiving! See you in Sturgis next summer!

[@dionrau5580]

It's Good Scotty, I liked it fine and however you can do it is cool with me.👍🇺🇲

Hey scottie hope all is well man. Classic video. I hope you re upload the "Dangers of Mexico" video. One of my personal favorites

[@scootertrampscotty]

I'll get to it. Just mixing a few old videos in with the new. I'll mark which is which though.

Yeah that’s a cool ride… on the Trace… if I remember correctly, Daniel Boone traveled the trace also

[@beverlybennett963]

no music, I like listening to the wind and the bike.....

[@OoSoO238]

After looking up the Natchez Trace, I realize I caught it heading south out of Nashville one morning by accident a few years ago. I recall a beautiful June morning, a little microdose and a puff on a Doobie, full cup of coffee, headed south. That is a beautiful drive. I had no idea it went through most of Mississippi though! Cool.

[@sharonruffner4031]

No music, please Good video... you look nice and clean! Pretty country you rode in. Thank you for not reading the signs, either. So many youtubers read everything... I want to tell them to stop it. Your doing great!

[@scootertrampscotty]

That does sound like boring shit.

[@GaryL-m6h]

The naychez trail, assuming this is recent. You bowed up on this one, good stuff, like the bettles, " it don't come easy" you are the man. Keep it alive. Love you.

[@scootertrampscotty]

It's actually one of my older videos. I'm mixing them in with the new. I'll be sure to mark which is which though.

[@johngeorg9491]

Another awesome vid! I will also make a motion to keep music banned from your riding videos like many others have stated. The wind and engine is all the music we need.

I enjoyed it as is … it’s real… I’m from Canada and I’ve parked my bike already and I’m starting to miss the freedom… seeing your camp spots and old buildings is great… it looks like the engine you put in is running strong and smooth for you…. I enjoy seeing the people who have kind hearts and big souls that makes life as a gypsy on an Ironhorse (as I call it) more enjoyable. 🤙🤙

[@scootertrampscotty]

Thanks Jim

[@dennismiller5233]

WATCH OUT FOR " WIDOW MAKERS " WHEN IN THE WOODS. You may already know this, but they are overhead branches that can break and fall onto your tent or camp possibly causing serious damage or even death. Long time hiker and outdoorsman " not so much now " but have had a couple close calls over the years from falling branches. Just a heads up my friend.....be safe.

[@haroldbartleson2239]

Hi Scotty please know music I like it the way it is thanks Retired in Florida 73 love your videos.

[@scootertrampscotty]

Yup, they certainly are 🙂

[@paulperrigo3517]

I like more riding

[@tombullard6245]

It was a good Scenic run not a lot of curvier up and down but nice scenery. Nothing against other people's music but if I want to listen to music while you're cruising I'll just play a little in the background that is if you don't mind my interest in music changes kind of like the scenery around me I like to change it up. Been getting itchy feet here lately I got a son in Florida I think I'll go visit over Christmas then maybe cut over to Texas for a little while cross your fingers for good weather safe travels

[@scootertrampscotty]

Southern Florida's the only place in the US I've stayed that's warm all winter. Southern Texas gets cold, mostly constant winds, and plenty of rain.

Hey Scotty what's up man....how is the new motor running. Hope it's all good for you. I agree with the comments, no music. I enjoy the scenery and the sound of your bike. Anyway, tonsee you get that better motor in there man and its seems like your rollin good again. Kneez in the breez man...

[@scootertrampscotty]

This motor actually uses more oil. Runs really good though.

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

Gosh I miss you. After we parted in College Station I went to Natchez Mississippi museum and rode the full length of the Natchez Trace. I stopped at every information pullout and walked back on some of the trails. One of my favorites was Rocky Springs where over 2,000 people used to live and now all you can see are two safes and two water wells. I also went down where the family was enjoying the waterfalls. It was all magic. It took over a week including falling in love with a barmaid at the Sunset Grill across from the Goshen Springs campground. I have 4 videos on my Trace ride. The Squirrel Gets It video was on the trace and started out being a short silly video but ended up making another biker friend and found his lost cell phone so that video morphed into something it wasn't supposed to be. Toward the north end there was a place where you can ride on a section of the actual Old Natchez Trace, that was magical for me and did a video on that too. I loved riding the Natchez Trace so much that I want to ride it again from the other direction. Hoping to head for warmer southern Texas by weeks end. Keep up the good work buddy! Maybe we can ride together again someday?

[@scootertrampscotty]

Southern Texas gets really cold, lots of heavy wind, and a lot of rain. Southern Florida is the only place in the US that stays warm all winter - nights included 🙂

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

@@scootertrampscotty Thanks for that. I like learning from other people's experiences instead of my own experiences/mistakes. Victorville CA at my brothers right now. A friend just contacted me about Imperial Dam LTVA north of Yuma. I've never done LTVA land so my go break bread with him and check it out for a little while.

I'm doing some old in between the new. But I'll state weather they're old or new.

[@davidfellows6250]

@scottykerekes2471 yeah i saw that after the fact brother

[@Ross_Will]

Great Video

[@X-American]

No music. I hate the dj youtubers. Have you ever riden the blue ridge parkway around or through the Roanoke Virginia area? I used to love riding that on my motorcycle or my bicycle. Of course at the time my bicycle and motorcycle both cost me about the same $8,500.00 I was pretty serious into competitive tour de France style cycling. I used to climb the peaks mountain road, and the climb to mill mountain along the parkway 2 or 3 times a week. It's pretty amazing on a motorcycle too tho. Much easier.

[@scootertrampscotty]

I got to ride one of those bicycles once. Way different from any others!

[@bennoury8509]

Damn Scotty, now I’m daydreaming again! I love river baths and sleeping in Barns..! Those are the best times in my opinion that’s really living it up… Enjoy Mexico! WOLF…

[@jdh395]

can you tell me about what temp do you close off your oil cooler ? great video !

[@scootertrampscotty]

About the time I put on a jacket or long sleeve shirt I'd say.

thanks for info Scotty @@scootertrampscotty

I enjoyed the video Scotty! Cool riding, and I also like the parts where you show your camp and setting it up. Stay safe.

[@nomoreblahblah]

Cool watching a video about the Natchez Trace. 1st one. When you showed all those trees on the ground it looked like maybe a tornado ripped through the area, As far as music. It's like an elevator, the music keeps one's mind occupied or it can set a mood or tone. dunt dunt dunt DA!

[@Derek-tm4ho]

Dont mind it but noticed i seen a lot of these videos and have not had a phone for a year. We will meet up. I work summers in northern az at 9000 feet. Heat dont kill me that high. I dont envy many people but you i am proud to admit i do you. I been homeless and a biker but never them together. Ppl dont understand money is nothing. I been rich i use to take it as a challenge to spend my money before i got paid. Im 40 something and worked more hours than most normal ppl that are retired. I died at 32 like i predicted by my dreams but woke up wasnt expecting that. The beat yeara of my life so far was being homeless traveling the country helping the ones that needed it. Your lifestyle is my dreams.

[@lonecowboyadventures]

I enjoy all your videos, I specially enjoyed this one where you actually show where you stay set up camp. Be safe.

[@HankHill757]

I rode it. It’s like the Blue Ridge Parkway, only flat! A very relaxing ride!!

[@jimchurchman2628]

I really enjoyed this post and have no need for music. It still pisses me off what fb did to your channel!! Be well my friend!

[@southernrebel]

Please "NO MUSIC"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I turn off videos because the music is so loud and not even biker music. One guy played elevator music!!!!!!!!!!!!. Then talked like he knowed more than anyone else. Needless to say didn't get very far into his video. Just simple ridin with no talking and no music is "RELAXING". Plus you have a good voice for commentary. Thanks for a good video. Looking forward hooking up. Hopefully next summer. Safe ridin rubber down

[@echogary]

Definitely play some beautiful soothing music as you travel down the byways. On your rice burner, pink poodle aboard, and keeping it 5 mph below the posted limits. Staying at all the designated camp, and rest stops along your way. Better yet, find me the best motels that include rocking chairs. Let us pledge never..never pee outside of a designated facility again! JK... just be you.

[@shameless6963]

No music, but if you could give us more motor sound. Not hearing the bike makes it seem like you're on a electric scooter

[@scootertrampscotty]

Well, my bikes somewhat quite anyway. But when i hold the camera over the windshield at any speed over 30 or so, almost all I get is wind noise. So I turn it down.

[@larrysdinner]

2nd time watching this video because I really dig the riding parts. Nothing wrong with the other parts but I do prefer to see the cool areas that you go through. It's inspiring for sure and I'm heading out right now for a couple hundred miles because of it.

[@RoadDogSteve]

I am always amazed by your ability to connect with strangers. Hells Bells I have difficulty connecting with friends some times. Thanks for taking me along. I'm in the no music camp.

[@scootertrampscotty]

Loneliness can be a real problem out here. My social skills where not good before. But long ago the pain or real loneliness forced me to learn how to meet folks quickly and easily. I remember thinking how fortunate I was to have to be learning such things. One of the things I tried, and still practice to this day for its great results, is that when I meet someone i begin talking to them just as though we'd already been friends for years. I once read that everyone is afraid of everyone else and people are so busy feeling their own fear they don't realize the other persons. But most everybody needs to have friends and when they see I can be one they're most often very receptive.

I live by the Ross Barnett Reservoir area of the Natchez Trace and ride it every chance I get. There’s a nice nature trail that wraps around a swamp with old trees and also a biker bar at Ratliff Ferry that serves great food. Yes that was a tornado that ripped through a few years back

That was a great rally. Last I was there it had kinda outgrown the town though. Aint been there for quite a while. Maybe its calmed down some.

[@browngreen933]

Your stealth camping skills are top notch! Do you ever have a desire for a lighter, more maneuverable bike? I ask because i went from a HD dresser to a BMW airhead in the 1980s for greater ease getting back into the trees.😂

[@scootertrampscotty]

No. Im in this for the relaxed enjoyment of the ride and nothing compares to a bagger for that. Also, these older Electra Glides are the lightest baggers out there. 100 lbs lighter than the new ones with the fat back tire. If you've ever seen one without the fairing, gas tank, seat, etc then you know that the bike itself is really small. But hell, they're all top heavy once you pack a ton of gear on em. I also ride well and manage to stuff this thing into places it was never meant to go.
