This,is amazing!I'm watching this video with my 86 year old mother.40 odd years ago,her and my father(rip),travelled all over Canada and the states.My father built a tent trailer,very similar to "Ruby",that he pulled behind his loaded '78 Goldwing.Every so often,I would hook up with them on the road.I had a '78 400 Hawk.Kick start only and drum brakes.I put many miles on that bird! I loved that time in life and your video brought it all back to my mother and I.Beautiful!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

My Wife and I really liked this episode. Camping with Friends and your Son is the absolute best. Many of your video's start out with you making that first cup of coffee. That strikes a familiar cord with us as well. You've become our Sunday night favorite. Thanks for sharing!

Heres a great tip for riding out West .Fuel stations are few & far between. I made it a point to stop every 110 miles . I get 44 MPG but you just don't know when your on the road out West .You don't want to run a fuel injected motor out of gas .

[@joelbosshoss9029]

Just found your channel today and love it. Been watchin for hours. We moved from Fort Worth in 2010 to Dickinson ND. Quit going to Sturgis a few years ago. To crowded and to many inexperienced riders. Keep the sticky side down and safe travels.

[@ericsharrock5844]

Your best video yet!!! Excellent content, editing, music. Keep up the great work. I would much rather watch your content than anything on mainstream TV.

Thanks a bunch Eric

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Great video. In 2008, rode into Strugis 4 days before the official opening of the rally. Got a beer, a T-shirt, baseball cap and got out. Max is right. Ride the area either 2 weeks before or after the rally.

[@brandonscheetz5409]

great video! I rode my 98 Springer Softail to Sturgis in 2020 from northern Wv, about 1500 miles one way. I loved it there, it was a great time. I'm going back this year in 23, but I'll be riding a 2016 Electra Glide Ultra Limited CVO this time.

I learned to do the around the block trick when heading out of state to a mountain bike race. Something about being in the car that makes you remember things before heading out on the freeway.

I'm about 21:54 into this video and have to watch the rest later. But this has been my favorite video you all have made. I could feel the struggle as Miss Alice's future was in question. Life can be hard at times. But it was wonderful to see how your son's arrival brightened up both of your faces. Life is that way, isn't it? We struggle at times and then God reminds us of how blessed we really are.

Right on!

[@2bad1]

Makes me want to go back to sturgis , I’m interested in that campground. I like that your son wears that blue line on his vest.

Fun to see the kid has mixed mannerisms from mom and dad. What a great memory to share. You both are inspiring me to get out and ride. Ride Safe ✌🏻🛵

I agree with Max. I passed by Sturgis on a July, rode those roads, all was fine and I could get the flavor of it.

Yup. Son’s right. Go the week before or after. The ride is MUCH better with many fewer bikes. Thanks for the great tour. But you failed to label the Pigtails on the screen.

One day, I would enjoy riding up to enjoy the Sturgis rally. It gets disconcerting when I hear people on You Tube say, "If you go, be prepared to spend upwards of $4K-$7K. Others have gone on to say that they've spent nearly $10K for the week they were there. Well, if I do go in the future. I'd probably stay for 3 days max. Long way back to the pacific coast. Great info you guys have given, enjoy your travels and be safe!!

I've thought about going to Sturgis to see the great dog and pony show. I'm not big on crowds, even motorcycle crowds. I rode through the Dakotas in the early 80's and remember the wind especially. Setting up the tent was always a challenge. I'm eager to return, just not riding in crowds of rumbling bikes.

[@keithallen3119]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife I went before the rally for my first visit and it was very enjoyable. Vendors were mostly there, no waits for food or merch; roads not crowded and the parks/campgrounds weren't busy either. Second visit was for the actual week. We went to the 76th so the crowd was smaller as so many went to the 75th. Only detractor that time was the novice riders on the roads. Had too many close calls from people who must only ride that week! For decades I did the ride there approach to my 2 wheeled travel; but last fall I decided to get a toyhauler RV and pull it with the Ram 3500. I arrive to wherever it is and set up camp. Even retired life has obligations and too many times I need to get there and back in shorter time frames. Thanks for the "ride along" with your videos. Ride safe and enjoy.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

agreed!

[@jfv65]

You had what i think was a cascading number of errors. 1 error causing the 2nd , etc. I think the voltage regulator broke, that subsequently fried the stator AND the ECM. electronic modules do NOT like over-voltage. Same for batteries, if the bike overcharges the battery long and hard it can cook the battery. Anyway, thnx for the fun video.

In August 1991, my 12-yr-old son and I were camping in Ice Box Canyon, and drove (a car) in to Sturgis several times. In the Lead laundromat, I remarked to a new acquaintance, “There’s…a lot… of… old guys on motorcycles,” thinking of those gray ponytails I kept seeing. That’s when I learned of the Rally. We returned to camp with his young daughter in 2011, and the August Rally had indeed changed. Thanks for the video rides!

One of the best videos I've seen from you guys. Great roads, great video of them, great video overall. . Max is a good looking kid, and following your riding passion, he'll do well. I am a Harley Davidson fan big time, I have a 1988 Softail custom. But if you want something that can easily pull Ruby, and be ultra reliable get a Goldwing. Honda's are phenomenally good, reliable bikes. Jayman...

[@garysbackroadadventures]

Another great ride video. Max is correct, if you want to do the rides around Sturgis, go two weeks before or two weeks after. Can't wait for Hwy. 2 video. I did it from Michigan to Idaho a few years ago. That's where I learned to carry extra fuel. Keep up the great work.

Enjoying your Sturgis ride Thumbs up. I have a question. After the Harley was serviced at Black Hills HD you mentioned it was covered under ESP. Is that a 3rd party ESP and if so , which one? I’m thinking that RG can’t be any newer than a 2013 model. Thanks.

Hey guys, just came across your videos… awesome, love them. We are from Australia and not only own a Heritage, but are die hard Harley fans. What we would love to know is… what exactly are you using that makes the camera look like it’s floating around your bike with what seems, no use of controls? It’s got us baffled!

If warranty expires and replacement is required go Can Am RT or Goldwing, which ever one tows more. Next option would be 3/4 ton Truck with 5th Wheel/ toy hailer combo. You have seen that option out there. In any case I will follow your journey. Seriously thinking of making you guys the first I have joined Patreon for. Looking forward to learning about Henry too.
