Local touring, cruisers, sportbikes and even the supermotos make this brief ferry ride their destination for a loop route. The ride to the Knotts Island Ferry Terminal has some nice twisties, limited traffic and scenic areas once you enter the rural area. Ferry does however have a schedule and will post that link as well. Knotts Island - Currituck Ferry Terminal Ferry Dock Rd, Knotts Island, NC 27950 goo.gl/maps/BbxDyCyC7g62 www.visitcurrituck.com/press-releases/currituck-knotts-island-ferry-schedule/

Keith Valence I’m by myself all the time. People are amazed that a 58 year old, single female can drive a rig. Honestly, I don’t know why, women ARE capable. I love it and have so much fun on my own. I had to back my travel trailer out a quarter of a mile once, due to inadequate signage. The way people reacted, you’d have thought I was a 6 month old baby. Lol. Just because I’m female. Too funny!! Anyway…RVing is great!!

I just found your channel yesterday and can't stop watching. My wife and I sold our house when our youngest kid left home and bought an ATC toy hauler in July. We're still stuck to a geographic area since I work every other week as an EMS helicopter pilot, but on my weeks off we try to go to new places. So far it's just been Oregon, California, Utah, and Idaho. We carry kayaks, mountain bikes, and my Yamaha R1. I haven't really considered a cruiser motorcycle until seeing yours on this video. I really like it. I might have to get rid of the sportbike someday and move up to a cruiser. If you ever make it to the West Coast, you should try Highway 36 between Red Bluff and Fortuna, California. I've ridden there a couple of times and it's amazing. In about 140 miles there are over 2200 curves with very little traffic. It would be great to meet or even ride with you someday. Happy travels! John

Thanks for such an awesome post, John! I've always wanted to fly a rotary-wing aircraft! I have my fixed wing license (haven't flown since 1986 though), but am fascinated by helicopters! Sounds like a really fun job minus the people that, I'm sure, are gravely injured (enough to warrant airborne EMS). You'll grow into a cruiser eventually. 😎 I've had a few sport bikes in my younger days. Now I sit back and relax! 🙂 LOL We're planning for west coast next year and will keep those tips in mind as well as the potential for a ride. Thanks for watching! -chad

As far as bikes go, have ya thought about STs like FJR, C14, etc? I owned an FJR for a lil over a year and it was a great all around bike. silky smooth, tons of power, sporty (when ya want), and can just cruise along all day. just a thought. We have a 14R and it does it all for us, currently (wife doesn't like STs cause she is soooo short). Me, I can't ride cruisers even if I wanted because of back issues... weird but it is what it is. lol

Back in 1973 I got transfer orders to Ft. Story. In planning my move I somehow missed the word "tunnel" in the name Chesapeake Bridge and Tunnel. What a surprise to look ahead and see water where the bridge was suppose to be. My barrack's was a couple hundred yards from the beach, real tough duty station :). Forty plus years later my wife and I returned to go camping at First Landing. Not a lot of amenities but nice place to spend a few days. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Hi you two! Yet another great video, complete with a few entertaining spots! Suffice to say, your videos are NEVER boring! LOL. WE have never been trying to full time, yet, but we are now down to 1 dog and 2 cats, so it is no longer impossible. But who knows what will come. I have to get over cancer again, before we can even think of doing an RV'in. But it looks like I am doing pretty well in that area. In 2015, I beat stage 4a throat cancer after all, so you could say I have the right attitude. So who knows what will happen. In the past 40 years we have been part-time in the RV attending more dog shows than I care to count, but it was always great fun. Currently, we tow a 30' travel trailer with a 2007 Chevy 1 ton van with a 155" wheelbase, powered by a 6 L gas engine. This is the first time w have had a rig that even came close to being able to tow a trailer that we have owned. It really does quite well. We connect the rigs with a HENSLEY Arrow hitch system, which is supposed to make a pull behind trailer tow much like a 5th wheel trailer. WE have been using the Hensley now, since 2007. We just turned over 30,000 miles on this tow rig, so it is just about broken in. We swear BY the Hensley hitch, and have used it on 3 different tow rigs over the years. WE have had to replace one of the tension rods in the hitch, but all the parts are fully warranted, so all we had to do was order a new one, ship the bent one back, and we got a check in the return mail. They do not cover shipping, but at the time we did not care. Enough about that, we once pulled into a state park in Oregon, and drove down a suggested road, that had no turnaround, and we had to back the rig back out in the dark about 1/4 mile, (it seemed sooo much further), than that, but I measured it later, it was that far. NOT FUN. Just one of our many misadventures! With this tow rig, and the Hensley hitch, we have no trouble when a semi passes us at all, I think that the length of the tow rig really helps a lot. We found out on that trip that the Hensley increased something enough that we could actually pull the RV forward while backing up. Not at all advised. Since all of our towing was to dog shows, we needed the van to carry all the dogs that we had at the time. So we have never been able to tow a 5th-wheel, yet. I think that I would like it.

That was a memory shaker! In late ‘80, while going to Coast Guard machinery tech A school in Yorktown VA, I had the displeasure of riding on the back of my friends Yamaha 650 across the bay bridge tunnel in a downpour! We didn’t notice a fast moving front coming in. Were past the last exit and had to ride it out. We were headed north on the eastern shore to my previous duty station at Taylor’s Island MD. That small boat station has since closed but in the ensuing years I guess Cape Charles station has been established. Thanks for the trip! Safe travels.😊👍🏼

One choice I fully enjoy is the van, the head of the all setup. It works both ways, it pushes the cargo and also becomes available for a ride.

Originally from VAB. My wife and me traveled there last month, and stayed at First Landing. I thought something was amiss when I saw the beginning on Eastern Shore followed by your trip on I-64/44. GPS should have had you heading down Shore Drive to the campground! Ending up at the Narrows on 64th street was definitely not where you would want to end up. Nice recovery! We had reserved a spot but still ended up coming in after hours (COVID protocols also in effect for staffing) so it took a while to find our spot. Might have been the best stopping point from our start on Outer Banks of NC to Cape May, NJ!. Beautiful walking beach and trails in Park made for some great biking! Enjoy your channel, keep up awesome videos!

We hit all the tourist spots and had dinner at a couple places that was awesome. We went early in the season before the official start of the summer tourist. It was great. What a really nice place.

Favorite motorcycle ride back then was with my older son up to Yorktown and Jamestown. Great ride. Now, however, I'm riding around the Rocky Mountains...better riding than the Dragon. ;-) Try it, you'll like it. If you do get out this way give me a shout, we can ride up to Estes Park. Oh yes, for us ORF's, can you slow down the time lapse when going through those little towns, it would be fun to actually SEE the sights as you pass through. Thanks, and FW&FS Shipmate.

I felt your pain backing down that neighborhood street. After 20 years of RVing, I had a brain storm. When backing up, my wife will spot me and now I have her call my cell which is connected to the bluetooth on the truck radio. This way both my hands are free and one of us can talk over the other if necessary to avoid a collision. We used to use the walkies, but this is better for us.

Hey, I know this is old. I was an AX and had a school in Dam Neck in the early 80's. Have not been back since, forgot how nice it was. Thanks for the videos!

Lol on the nose hair. Years back a buddy was riding in the back seat of my truck when my wife without warning reached over and snatched a one of my nose hairs out. My buddy freaked out and told her she was putting his life in damage doing that! It was funny as can be!

Loved it. I saw the VAW-124 patch and made a mental note to ask if you were in the Navy. Of course you were. When I was on the FORRESTAL (80-84) VAW-125 was onboard. They were outta Whidbey Island. Did go to a week long school in Norfolk once. Such a long time ago. Great memories though. As my Road King Classic sits in the garage. Lost the mojo for some reason. Anyway, love yalls channel, thanks for sharing.

Great video. Backing skills are right on. Retired from UPS pulling doubles with Three pivot points and 70ft long. My rig now is F250 and 34ft fifth wheel with just one pivot point. Much easier. Enjoy your videos 🙂

Just catching up on your old posts. Western NC has awesome rides. Cherohala Skyway, Tail of the Dragon and a dozen others top our ride list. We stay at a small campground for riders only called Iron Horse Lodge in Robbinsville NC. Must have bikes to stay. Only 6 or so hookup sites, rest is tents, cabins and wagons. Great people, great rides, great evenings around the community campfire and great moonshine! Next time your close you should check it out!

Also something very cool about this area is that on the eastern shore and in outer banks N.C. you can watch the sunset over the water and you are doing this on the EAST COAST mind blowing and a FANTASTIC date idea

If you ever get up to NH, White Mtns. has some AWESOME rides. Especially the Kanc!, or Rte 302 up thru Crawford Notch, or if you got the nerve take the Mt. Washington Auto Rd. My wife and I used to take our Spyder up there a couple times a year before moving to DE. No good rides here....

Nice! So, looks like you're a TI? I (chad) used to jump. Got up to my C license and about 180 jumps when my second broken ankle said it was time to hang it up. LOL Tara would never jump and it's the kind of sport both partners need to be into for that to work IMO. Blue skies and thanks for watching! 😎

We did First Landing this fall. Surprised how busy it was in October. Yeah, it IS the Eastern Shore. You know you are there because it smells like chicken. Super flat land. Done the CBBT many times with trailer. Tunnels must be well over 50' below sea level. Some nice CGs on the Eastern Shore. Our 'home' CG where all trips begin & end is Martinak SP, Denton, MD. A kayakers paradise. Assateague Nat Seashore is good too. No hookups but the wild horses stroll all round. Don't leave food on the picnic table. The horses will have it. Doing the DELMARVA is a great way to avoid the traffic on 95 from Richmond, Washington, Baltimore up to Delaware.
