Solo Female Motorcycle Trip Across the USA in 34 DAYS | FULL TRIP

[@billmcgrath2176]

I'm 74 and have been traveling on motorcycles for around 50 years. I've crossed the US solo a couple of times, so your trip brought back many similar memories for me. I really like your videography and music selections. On one trip, my theme music was Neil Young's Harvest album. Every time I hear songs from that album, it takes me back to 1972 when I rode from Ithaca, NY, to Berkeley, CA. Keep up the nice work. Nowadays I ride a Can-Am Spyder trike. Keeps me young!!

[@cailinanne]

You are a fricking hero to me my man! ❤

[@andrsn4u455]

I live near Berkeley and that’s amazing to go from New York to California. I am amazed that you all can travel in motorcycles. That is just cool

[@roadkillandi]

That’s incredible that you’re still riding. Keep going strong.

[@edwinbrown3303]

Enjoyed your journey, thank you

[@kendurbin7443]

😢

[@TandaMadison]

Thanks! May have just binge watched this entire series (okay I absolutely did). As a native of New Mexico I was so happy our state brought you some needed rejuvenation. I've recently purchased my first motorcycle and your videos are the perfect blend of travel log, informational content and moto-ASMR. I'm gonna do the thing!

[@johnhamilton7641]

Huckleberry! My wife and I watched your video over 2 evenings and loved the escape. All my life I dreamed of doing a trip like yours but never did until two years ago when I was almost 69. A motorcycle buddy I haven't seen or heard from for over 40 years threw out a challenge for us to meet in Moab and ride to the BMW rally in Great Falls, MT. I live in the Austin area and he lives in Maryland! What pushed me over the edge "to do the thing" was a meme he sent me that said "the road of life is full of flat squirrels who couldn't make a decision". We had a blast and for me it was the trip of a lifetime. I was engaged at the time, came home, got married and my wife and I rode our bikes to the Barber Museum for our honeymoon. You're right there is never a perfect time, but the right time is NOW!

[@truckertwotimes7189]

I love that! "Don't be a flat Squirrel!" lol

[@360.O.A.Videos]

Hello Amanda . I followed your advises to do the thing. So i began to record my travels trough tiny France . Have a nice day .

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Awesome!

[@slk5658]

HUCKLEBERRY, and thank you for sharing this with us. What a journey. Your patience and "It's OK" attitude are inspiring. I bought a 2017 500X last year (at the age of 70) and was interested in how the bike would do on a trip like that. So many people think that you need a big bike to travel like this and you proved them wrong. Traveling vicariously with you makes me anxious for spring so I can "get out and do the thing".

[@andrsn4u455]

That’s awesome congratulations on your new journey. I think you are in for a sweet journey. Have fun

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

Oh the 500x is more than capable. Of course a bigger bike is a tad more comfy on the highway.... but not necessary. Doing this at 70 is awesome, I wish you the best!

[@gabrielgonthier5049]

Hi Amanda. Really very impressive! I'm 62 and I've been riding for 30 years. If I look back at your age, I wouldn't think I could have done what you do, despite my deep passion for motorcycling, no matter the style. I did several road trips from Quebec to the United States that I loved, but never like you do. So many miles, so much distance covered! Well done and respect! I encourage you to continue! 😉

[@truckertwotimes7189]

Ditto!😀👏

[@CarlosTilbury]

Hi Amanda, found you last night with your review of Rok Straps (which I do approve of) just wanted to say you have a fab camera presence, I spent 3 months riding in the USA, shipped my bike from the UK, it was great fun, keep up the great content, youre a natural at it, oh and don't stop the dancing!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Awesome, thank you!

[@zaineridling]

One thing I've noticed is that there are no easy days. You work from daybreak to night,and one of your best traits is your patience. 💯

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thank you very much!

[@journeyofjerry820]

I just rewatched most of the video. The memories that came back to me are priceless. I truly do love supporting Forgotten Angels and the people that support them also. Thank you for supporting Amanda.

[@Geordo1960]

Started watching this video thinking who is this woman trying to be something and ride a bike. But I quickly confronted myself judging for no reason at all, except for my own stupidity. And I continued to watch the video and ended absolutely adoring and respecting you for such a brave, lighthearted, strong woman who doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody. I just admire you so much now. I wouldn’t have the guts to do what you did and how dare I have such ridiculous preconceptions about anybody. You renewed my soul, my attitude and my usually open and loving soul back to me. Thank you so much! I know this ride was filled with every emotion there is, but you endured the fear, terror, fatigue and sad times and conquered it all. Hope there more happy times for you.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch the whole trip and for leaving such a thoughtful comment! Thank you! :)

[@janekirchin658]

Hi, I've only just started watching your travel vlog and saw how upset you were about losing your Stetson. I lost a "special to me" sun visor last year, and put a post on Facebook with a scaled down photo of me wearing the visor. Was thrilled to bits when a guy found it, contacted me via Messenger, and very kindly posted it to me!!! Worth a try ..... wishing you safe and happy travels while I enjoy your vlogs XX

[@dolcerebel]

Huckleberry! Wow, Amanda (Ninja) I finally sat down last night and watched your whole 3:33:46 video. Knowing about your anxiety and stress, that makes all the more sweet to complete. These things can be paralyzing (for some people) you kept going thanks to family and friend lifelines. Glad your friends found another Stetson for you put miles on and make your own. Pushing ourselves out of those comfort zones, makes us stronger and better and through those good and not so good challenges we learn much which can then help others. There is a reason for why we go through things in life, even if we do not know the reason at that moment in time. A belated Happy New Year to you and yours. Wishing you much adventure, travel, fun and health this year on and off two wheels. Take care.

[@Madv1]

HUCKLEBERRY!!!! Whoo! Watched the whole trip in one afternoon. I had seen some parts of the trip in the individual videos but it was so much more meaningful to see it from beginning to end. You really ar amazing and inspiring, Amanda! Always love to see more. Thank you!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@BigBirdBiking]

Thanks for sharing your ride , this year I’m hoping to get out on the open road again myself. Been a lot of years but I think it’s time to scratch the itch again. Always speed safe and keep the shiny side up and rubber side down

[@bobvandick2546]

I can understand why one might have an anxiety attack on a trip like you are on. I've got to hand it to you, you are a true road warrior. I would never be able to do a cross country trip solo...I would get too lonely. I would need to have someone there to enjoy the adventure with. It's much easier to get through the tough moments with someone to lean on and visa-versa. Congrats on doing it....twice!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks Bob!

[@richardmourdock2719]

"It's never going to happen unless you make it happen" What a perfect finale for this. Well done Amanda.

[@stensballe3683]

so envious of this epic journey. thankful u shared it so i could tag along! america is really beautiful on the outside and the people seem great. u have an amazing network/friends wow

[@Wayne10160]

You are an inspiration, Amanda, you joy of life comes across in your videos! I have done solo trips back in the late 2000s on my 2006 VSTROM 650. I haven't since around 2012 due to work and now to hip problems, which are now solved. I am getting the VSTROM out and ready for more adventures, inspired by you! I love how you detail and display your equipment, it helps knowing the new gear and tech. BTW: I have that same tent and I love it!!!!!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

That is awesome!

[@JamesChasingSunrises]

Huckleberry! Even after following along during the trip this video was like watching it new for the very first time. Your editing is amazing. Thank you for sharing this long version.

[@MyR1Rocks]

Huckleberry 😀🖖. Hi, Pete from Australia, really enjoyed your trip across America.. Well done !!! I’m about to embark on a similar trip from Sydney, New South Wales to Tasmania, leaving in 11 days with 2 close friends - a tent in hand and no plans ! Love the idea of no schedule, no restrictions !

[@Kymfre01]

Huckleberry, there are few people on KZbin i would call inspirational. You are certainly the first i have ever seen and have told them so. The work you put into these videos is exceptional, and your common sense, road craft, planning and general skill set is something to be admired. Keep doing your thing as you are 1 exceptional human being, with best wishes for all your future travels. A fellow biker from across the pond

[@Tarukai788]

Huckleberry! This was amazing to watch as someone who's been working their way up to wanting to do longer trips, be it on my current little adventure bike or on a bigger one in the future. Your words at the end really are inspiring for helping push past that nagging thought of whether or not to go for it, or the what-ifs that plague this kind of trip decision. Thanks for the great content and keep at it! Earned a sub for sure here.

[@helowzrd]

I watched your posts as they came out. It is so awesome to see them all together. Love it!!!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thank you so much!

[@boiseonabonnie1977]

loving this long cut so much. It is carrying through studying for finals at BSU. I have already watched it twice.

[@byronleatham1183]

Hey if you're in Boise go up in the hills and check out the hot springs they are amazing and especially check out Atlanta Idaho and then go up and then just keep on heading up above Idaho City and then follow it over to to crouch and you can drop on down on back in the Boise and you will see some beautiful country and stop everywhere and enjoy the wonderful hot springs I lived in Boise for quite a while

[@manthony419]

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your video. I thought you put it together really well and integrated music. You were so brave to do that trek alone but found fun along the way. I did feel that I was exhausted by all the travel and arrangements along the way that you had to make. I can't believe that tent sites in parks were up to $80 a night with not much amenities. It was great fun to see you dance around your motorcycle and to take it in stride when you did drop your bike. I don't think I can travel 300-500 miles a day every day to make this trip. You managed it well but to me it felt like it was so hard to do all the miles. Anyway, now you are a part of the Motorcycle Camping family. Brava. Great job.

[@richardmourdock2719]

AZ, I'm enjoying my daily dose of the long trip. -4 degrees as I watched today which was a nice way to relive spring 2022... it gives hope for spring 2023. And, I've probably not posted this before, but one reason I always enjoy your site is it lacks the profanity that drenches so many other motorcycle YT channels. Your posts are cheery, "Hello Beautiful People" is so preferred to the four-letter words that detract from content. Thank you for what you do!!

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video! Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Have a nice day my friend!!

[@aes00703]

Well, I can't believe I watched a video that was over 3 hours long! But, hey... I'm your Huckleberry. But, seriously, it did take me two days of watching 30-45 minutes at a time. Great video. I lived in El Paso for 20 years and have been to Cloudcroft, Spent the night in Alamogordo, and visited White Sands on my Bike. I always wanted to go to the Gila Natl Forrest too and see the Cliff Dwellings, but just never found the time. You are a true Road Warrior. Keep it Up and be Safe out there. This Spring I plan on getting out there, and doing the thing!

[@daniellane5483]

Well done sister, great editing, effects, angles.. top quality 👍

[@twowheeltimmc]

I don't usually stick with such a long video, but the way you captured experiencing a motorcycle trip was too compelling to stop! You've got a new subscriber! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself in your video. 👍🏻🙏🏼 Oh, and HUCKLEBERRY! 😆

[@sarahporter9541]

Loved your visit to Tombstone...and the new hat! We visited there right at the beginning of Covid...no people...empty streets..all but store owners...ran into a couple of guys refurbishing an old original stagecoach though! Was an awsome visit! Love your vids!

You must do a video on your recipes, and how you dehydrate them.

Hi Amanda, huckleberry and thanks for all the work you put in documenting your trip. Really love your point of view and all the insights along the way. I couldn't stop watching it and I'm a bicyclist, not a motorcyclist! Thanks again

[@googleuser2170]

Watching from Amsterdam. I'm only about an hour in, but I love this video. It's so unique compared to what else is out there. I love the raw honesty mixed with great editing and content.

[@googleuser2170]

Also, the way you showcase Onx is really informative. When I plan my trip to the US, I will 100% buy a subscription because of you.

[@mikegunn3152]

Im a big guy. 6'4" and 300lbs. I have 3 bikes I ride in the enduro. 1st and newest is my XR150L, I love this little town commuter. Great for gravel roads and buzzing through traffic. Next is my Honda 300L, I use this bike for single track and tight trails. Finally is my KTM Enduro R, I have done a ton of work to this bike. I have supermoto tires for it and my firt tires for it. All my bikes have a unique purpose. I owned a motocross track for many years and have owned and road every bike practically since the mid 80s. At 55 years of age. I ride alot.... Fyi I am a new subscriber and love your content.

[@DomingoRogersNC]

46:49 the time lapse video and framing is so cool here!

[@kellys923]

I just want you to know that I just started watching your videos and you have inspired me to buy an adventure bike and do what you did! I have a bike in my garage that I’m going to trade in, in the next few days. 😊 thank you for doing what you are doing 💋

[@grootsgracemission]

I love your attitude towards the challenges you face. Attitude equals altitude. Stay humble, stay Blessed and ride on.

Wow, Huckleberry, now that was a crazy trip! Your dedication is impressive and your video and editing skills are amazing. Solid quality! Amazing personality.

[@ShipWreck54]

I love the effort you put into making this video. It is clear to me that you were very passionate about this journey.

[@hakonblom8950]

Hi Amanda, You are really something! In 1999 I did something similar, a friend of mine had a Harley stored in Houston, Texas and he offered me to borrow his bike! We both lives(d) in Norway at that time. this was back in 1999. I drove from Houston, up to Wisconsin, and then to Yellowstone and further to Portland, Oregon. Then California, Nevada, Arizona and back to Houston. I visited 17 states and was using about 8 weeks on my trip. Thinking back, I don't understand how I dared to do this, since I did not have a cell phone or GPS.What you are doing is very impressiv!I wish you all the best and hope you understand my English. All the best, Hakon

[@betoaguiar63]

Very inspiring. Started watching out of curiosity and enjoyed it very much. quite a few images brought back memories of even smells of parts of the world I have been in, from Africa, to Europe, to New Zealand and Australia where I am at the moment... Keep it up... you rock...

[@MarkoMarcello]

Amanda, I have watched the movie a few times now, always something new to discover. A great endeavour, beautifully filmed and put together. Music and your unique personality make it awesome altogether. My first offroad experience was with a 80ccm Honda in Modesto, Ca, and from there just got crazier with bikes. I wish you a million safe miles.

That was impressive, my dad passed away, I’m going to fly out to Reno, Nevada may 16th then ride his Harley roadside all the way back to Ohio, plan on camping whenever it’s available, I see making plans to camp isn’t always that easy. But I’m gonna check out some of your gear and the apps. Thanks for sharing.

[@donkempsr.7964]

I just came across your website & after watching it for 20 or so minutes, I realize how much I want to go on the road on my 1985 Honda Goldwing & the awsome trailer to carry all of the essentials. I admit to being an OVER PACKER, but I try to include those things that provide a means of solving the unexpected. But it's nice when that little something either saved the day or just made the night under the moon just a little bit better! Ok at this time I don't know any others who would be interested in planing a road trip to where ever let me know & maybe we can plan a trip.

[@JBinFL]

1:40:25 Welcome to Florida. We have snakes. They mostly leave you alone though. : ) Also so cool that you got to see some of the real Florida - Cross City took you by the Suwannee River and at 1:55:55 you were about five minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and a little town called Steinhatchee.

I used to live in Merced. I was born there and stayed until I turned 6. The last time I was there was 2 years ago. Before that, almost 20 years since my family and I left. The place has changed a lot. Way more people and way more crowded. I'm planning to make a trip back with my ninja one day. Before that, a lot of practice. Thanks for the motivation. You're one of a kind. Sorry about the hat.

Amanda, I loved loved loved this documentary! Binge watched it and didn't want it to end. Of course, my favorite parts were when you were in AZ and NM. I met you at Babes Ride Out in Santa Margarita...I was the lady that called you "the Elvis of Babes!" You totally are the BEST inspiration! In the last year I've acquired a Triumph Scrambler and dream of doing just what you do! Like I told you at Babes, I'll say it again...If ever in Tucson, you have a place to lay your head and garage space for your steed. look me up!

I love this! I just had gotten my license and first bike this year (05Kawasaki klr650). I grew up riding with my godfather every summer. A trip like this is what I'm working towards. I haven't seen a lot of other women making videos videos like this. I stumbled upon this video researching motorcycle camping gear I will need to get. A part of me is even more happier that we have the same name and it seems surreal like I'm just looking into my future. :) love it I cant wait to watch more of your videos! .. Huckleberry.

[@irzoro]

Wow Amanda, I started watching this video this morning and could not get up! I feel like I've made the journey with you. Your choice of bike was spot on, most riders wouldn't even entertain the thought of taking such a trip on a glorified 500cc dirt bike! :P You have inspired me to get off my butt and take that ride I've dreamed about since I was a young teen. I finally snagged my dream bike two years ago, a 2014 Indian Chief Vintage,. That Honda seemed to run like a top, on the dirt as well as the interstate. And was WAY lighter than the big v-twins although I must say I was feelin for you handling all that top heavy gear and bike like a champ! Thank You Amanda for these videos and the kind wisdom you shared at the end! You've inspired me, and that ain't easy at my age. Your giggle and that dance made me laugh, your a natural in front of the camera! You have a gift, a natural positive energy that came right through this video! (Video comments>>-->)Smart girl, glad you decided to stay two nights in Temple. You need the rest and so does that tire! Light is indeed amazing, I've always been fascinated with light.

There was once a day in Monahans, Tx when the wind didn't blow. It was either 1903 or 1908 so no one really remembers it on a "first person" basis now. It was a Thursday, Or maybe it was a Tuesday. But, it was memorable for sure. The old timers swore it was true so it must have really happened once. No wait, it was a Monday. Carlsbad is neat, for sure. Fortunately, far enough from Monahans that it didn't fill with sand. And coming into Cloudcroft from the east is fabulous.

I was at BBNP the same week you were though not on the M/C. When I was first there was 1972, not a single road was paved and there was NO ONE at the park at all. Think I preferred that. But it is still a great place when largely abandoned.

Huckleberry! Great trip and enjoyed your long trip with you! ❤ Hubby and I were Harley enthusiast in the ‘90’s and had 2 Harleys…one with a sidecar so our daughter could come riding with us! We belonged to several Harley groups…had nice rides and even a sidecar group. Fun days. Missed that wind in my face!

Wow what an adventure 💙💙💙 I’ve got about 170,000 miles under my belt but I’ve never been across the US the farthest I’ve been was from California to Oklahoma and back I did that in a total of about 5 days round trip, two days there and 3 days back I had work training in Oklahoma so there was a little rest in Oklahoma I’m between heading back. Keep having safe travels and keep the shiny side up 😄
