Transamerica Episode 9 - I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog

[@rceparts9693]

This is an incredible journey you two took can't believe that you made it this far on Groms. Well done great humor. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip. Hope to be able to do the TAT someday myself.

[@KiwiGrom]

Thank you. We highly recommend it... but maybe on slightly larger wheels :)

[@richfromlondon3254]

Awesome! Gonna miss these episodes :(

[@VoidedWarranty]

way up here in the frozen north (Canada) if you park a vehicle in a cattle pasture, they'll get really curious and eventually lick all of the paint and mirrors off of it. Maybe that's what the VW in the cattle fence is about?

Double nerd reference (Galaxy Quest and Northrop Grumman) and Monty Python (Shrubbery!) what's not to love about your videos! Makes me wish I had the chance to ride with you for even a day! Great job!

[@KiwiGrom]

Cheers! ...and Dumb & Dumber :) ? If you ever make it down to the South Island on NZ... We'll have to arrange something... or when we get back to do the Continental Divide :)

Loving the series!

And... I can only imagine how bad the washboarded road would be on those small wheels. oooooiiiggghhhhhhh.

[@JumpingWatermelons]

@2:07. I know that road. I camped up near there (in a spot that I'm pretty sure a person or two were buried. Not like murder body dump buried, but just, normal dead and buried.).. Anyway, that canyon was one of my favorite places to ride my bicycle and the huge walls of ancient art were fascinating. Real close to here is "little big canyon", where you can camp right along the canyon edge with some amazing views. One surprise is that you can still get really strong cel service around there. I watched the Macgregor vs Mayweather boxing match while camped at the edge of the canyon. And yeah, idk for sure, but when I see those insanely large and nice Mormon churches in small cities where all the houses look cheap, it seems to me an obvious sign of exploitation.

Clouds match rock formations 2:21. It's amazing how much that generally happens.

[@KiwiGrom]

Sweet! Never even though to look for that... pareidolia is great fun

What's your top speed with all your gear?

[@KiwiGrom]

Same as without the gear... around 110 km/h (that's 68 in freedom units).. on the flat... with light tailwind... just takes a little longer to get there. We kept the gear to a minimum so it was not really an issue.

Hi there great series what brand of drone you use

[@KiwiGrom]

Cheers Efrain. DJI Mavic Air. The Mavic 2 Pro is probably a better choice but was too big for my tank bag.

[@ukjeeper]

Another great episode. The wonky barn is almost an unofficial TAT stop I think! live.staticflickr.com/1797/41985037420_6cd66f92b2_b.jpg

3:01 Manti Temple - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints built it.

Salt flats are corrosive…

[@KiwiGrom]

Yup. Hence our visit to the busiest car-wash in America at Tremonton... and the late start the following day. A year later and nothing has fallen off, so i think we're good
