The Kid, a Snake, & the Colonel - USA Motorcycle Road Trip

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Lovely job Bruce - who doesn't love a road trip in the US!

[@TheWurks]

Top video Bruce. Love the effort you put into your videos pal. Hopefully catch you soon!

[@teapotone]

Thank you bud, much appreciated 👍🙏

[@curnobullen]

All lubed up 🤣. Love it Bruce, the America series is brilliant. The luxury of shaft drive, don’t worry about a chain.

[@jamesthompson6723]

You were right in my back yard. I live in Elizabethtown. 920 is one of my many "after work" ride routes. If you're ver back let me know. There are many , many roads we could show you that are spectacular. Especially in Eastern KY. Just got back from a weekend MOA Get Away near Pineville,KY where we ride that area regularly. Many many miles of tight twisty roads.

[@DubleRRedBronco]

Great series! Enjoyed seeing and hearing your perspective on my country. Stay safe.

[@tarms1650]

As a Yank living in one of those states you rode in (VA), thoroughly enjoyed the series. Best part was your “parting shot”!

[@Doppler-57]

Must have been a very difficult trip since you don’t speak the language. :). Great videos, thank you!

[@dankorolyk5917]

Another great ride

[@thehikerbiker6972]

Great series Bruce. All set for a ride in the Peaks and to “get out there” but it’s bloody horrible weather, so this vid dropped at just the right time 😂. Thanks

[@Kurlach]

Great series, best yet. Beautiful roads, great scenery. You can see why so many in that part of the world buy cruisers. Really great content 👍🏻

[@sootylum]

Brilliant.... Do it again :-)

[@thomasreimer1767]

What a fantastic trip Bruce, these backcountry roads are fantastic. Thank you for taking us along. 👍

[@adamnunn9723]

I’ve really enjoyed this series! The roads have been a revelation too!! Regarding the new cameras, the images gave been crisp and sharp-looking with great colour… but what do I know??! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@markfromleeds]

Really loved this series pal it certainly didn’t disappoint. I love America 🇺🇸

[@HippoDrones]

What a cracking trip. I do love a KFC, but the UK version seems to have gone downhill in recent years

[@jameskelly7118]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Tiger Bruce. Completely different to my previous bikes, but loving it. Great series this. Keep them coming 👍🏻

[@bshortt4244]

Really enjoyed this series. Never noticed any difference with the cameras....

[@Dan-56]

Throughly enjoyed this entire series. Glad you got to ride some of the better roads here in the US 🏍️😉👍!

[@OneStrokeTwin]

Great series of videos, beautiful trip. Picture and sound quality on the camera set-up was good. Well done Bruce, very inspiring to get out there and 'Live your Life'.

[@tombiggs4687]

Glad you came to the States and glad you enjoyed yourself! It is a *big* country. I don't live near the Appalachians but I try to get down there every year, I never get tired of riding that region.

[@graylunsford]

Bruce - what a great trip you had! i live in Nashville, Tennessee, and it was fun to see you pass through here! I’m sure you can imagine all the wonderful “side roads” in the states you crossed. Please come back for more. Your journeys free our souls, too! Thanks for doing what you do! See if you can talk the missus into joining you on a journey - only if you would both enjoy it. Thanks for being so appreciative of the region even though it rained and snowed on you. Thanks for sharing your journeys!!! - PS - I’m dying to ride in Spain!

[@davidmiall3814]

Top quality vid there Bruce. Picture quality of the Insta camera looks really good on a proper 42” TV 👍🏻 Really does justice to the landscape over there 🇺🇸

[@teapotone]

Thanks bud 👍

[@chrish7514]

Great series, much improved visuals and sound. Well done.

[@AlantinoRossi]

enjoyed that series, thanks Bruce...

[@Jim-nm1en]

Great tour Bruce, really enjoyed watching it. With regards to your comment about your credit card not being real money, what will you do if Mrs Teapot takes that one onboard ? New handbags, shoes, dresses etc.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@teapotone]

No bother Jim, she has her own cards 😉👍

[@johnmckay5711]

the Quality is good nice thanks for the video

[@iAmSh00]

You were 30 minutes from me!! I wish I would have known. Would have shown you some lesser known roads that are amazing.

[@debbieclegg2485]

Excellent viewage, just love the noise that bike makes and with a scot accent ... the landscape is phenomenal 👍😎👍

[@beepee700]

Cameras look awesome pal. I’ve had GoPro and just didn’t gel with them. Hobby stuff though. Show us how the batteries change and how good the seal is would be good too. Cheers, Brian (beepee )

[@IamJaymo]

Cracking series yet again 💪🏼

[@mikeamcgee]

I love watching your vids after a stressful week! Thanks TP1

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

"Totally awesome, dude!" now I don't feel so bad about going "Lewk aht thaaaaht!" all the damn time. 🤣

[@garthmctavish7335]

The video looks good and sounds good 😎👍

[@2Bob_Rocket]

Shame it's the end of a great series, really enjoyed this, the changing scenery, the awesome roads and that you were clearly enjoying yourself. Great work, the Ace Pro and audio is superb such that I bought the Ace Pro myself.

[@Mike_P646]

Word of the day 'najdery '😊

[@teapotone]

Or is it…’Naggery’ ‘Nadgery’ ‘Naa’jerie’ … 🤷‍♂️😉

[@adamshand4803]

Nice vid and good series Bruce, thanks. Cameras are pretty much the same, if not better than GoPro for watching. If these are more reliable, it makes sense to stay with them. Take care bud and keep up the good work

[@Kojak-zh7qo]

Brilliant tour Bruce absolutely loved it thanks mate

[@mattWallJsy]

Fantastic series sir. Happily watch it again too. Keep up the awesome work 👍🏼

[@johnmacdonald1878]

Glad you enjoyed your trip. Mountain time zone is as far east as I have ever got. Looked nice. Maybe I will get that far one day. I did go down to California in August for an "In and out burger" You should try one.

[@patrickdawson6364]

Hi Bruce, long time no talk, really enjoyed this series, great roads and no traffic. Would you consider doing a chickstrips tour over there?

[@teapotone]

We did actually, but the cost would be quite prohibitive for most people I think. It would need to be advertised at least a year in advance to give people time to save up, so watch this space for 2026😉

[@jjnewman65]

The legend that was Keith Moon managed to get himself and his Who band mates banned from every Holiday Inn in America while touring the States in the late 60s. He celebrated his 21st birthday in a Holiday Inn, Flint, Michigan. Things got a little out of hand when he drove a Lincoln Continental into the hotels swimming pool 😅

[@nocareriots]

I ride 192 a lot, my buddies and I will ride 192-1193-25w-90 to Cumberland falls then take 27 back to Somerset.

[@chrisschepper9312]

Just watched your very nice video. Looked like a wonderful time. If you're ever back, I live in Madison, Indiana, just a short drive from Austin. (You drove through it in this video). It's a great little town that has loads of bikers visit on weekends. Come on back and we will do some riding. 🏍️🏍️-

[@teapotone]

Thanks Chris, I’ll hopefully be back and take you up on that 👍

[@chrisschepper9312]

​@@teapotone I would love that. You're welcome anytime. You can ride my Transalp. I love Scotland, mate. Been there many a time but have never done any riding there. Yet! NC500! Definitely wanna check out some of your videos from there. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

[@900ccHarry]

American roads always look a dream to ride on. Alot better than the pothole tracks in the UK 👀

[@debbieclegg2485]

I bet Mrs Tp1 would be worth a fortune in a police role out there 😎👍

[@brothermist0]

Visit while the temps are 38c at 90% humidity and I doubt you'd want to make the move.

[@debbieclegg2485]

GS mentally... orange heart 🧡 😁

[@Jim-Bob_Adventures]

Great video Bruce, how do you find going from left hand driving to right hand? Any trouble? Any tips appreciated

[@teapotone]

I genuinely don’t have any issues at all with riding/driving on the right - tbh I actually prefer it!

[@matt2514]

I can see when your doing the speed limit we can see the speedo but for some reason on some have the clips the speedo is blanked out hahahahahahaha you wasn't speeding was you hahahaha looks an amazing ride though wish i could do it

[@nsmartyn76]

Your cameras are way better than gopro, tarmac not blurring around the bike, edges don't have a wierd effect and everything is clear. Will you be trying the DJI Osmo Action 5? Seems they are claiming a 4 hour battery and a game changing sensor, so maybe 3 hours at 4k 60fps 🤷‍♂️

[@teapotone]

I’ve actually bought the GoPro 13 and the Action 5 so will be testing them out soon. I may also be getting the new Ace Pro 2 from insta360 when it is released, so look forward to trying them all out 👍

[@Themotograndpa]

Hi Bruce love this series just wanted to know if you take your helmet as hand luggage or in the hold ? Keep up the great vids 👍

[@tombiggs4687]

I'll let Bruce answer, but when my wife and I flew to California and rented a bike, the helmets (stuffed full with small items) were one of our carry-ons. Didn't want them to get flung around by baggage handlers. Riding suits and boots went into checked luggage.

[@teapotone]

Aye it’s no problem at all to carryon your lid, it apparently comes under ‘Safety Equipment’. I usually put it in its helmet bag (the drawstring bag new lids usually come with) if it’s going as hand luggage. Most of the time though I just put it in the hold with all my other bike kit as I bought a big 24MX hold-all years ago.

[@debbieclegg2485]

The wiki boone info was a quick flash... interesting too. But had to rewinder 3 times.. maybe I'm just a slow reader lol

[@teapotone]

Or maybe just PAUSE the vid 😉

I’m a new subscriber and I’m enjoying the US trip. One question:- what is the periodic ”……? 123” about?

[@teapotone]

Hi Neil, thanks for subbing! It’s how I sync up the cameras and audio for editing

[@MrOkiparker]

We did Corbin last year and had dinner at the KFC. How come you don't run the cameras off power banks instead of batteries.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Somerset to London...? Was Bruce really even in the U.S or was this whole Video Series just A.I generated images overlaid over a U.K day out? 🤣

[@debbieclegg2485]

Is KFC in the states, the healthy option ?! 🤪

Why has content dropped of so much?

[@teapotone]

I own a touring business (ChickenStrips.co.uk) so I’m away on tour every 3-4 weeks. It’s just impossible to keep these kind of vids going and the podcast and all the social content, when I’m away so much - hence why the vids can be a bit sporadic at times 🤷‍♂️
