VLOG 39 - I AM SORRY

[@FranciscoDomene7]

If you’re going to Texas, try to cross by Laredo is the safest way to do it, and be extra careful in your trip from Monterrey to the border there’s a lot of insecure issues in that area. Believe me , it’s a good advice from a Mexican guy that follows you, God bless you 😀

[@Mrfish2015]

Had a bad neck over the last few days so my twin is in the garage , but good excuse to catch up on these vlogs .. makes the pain worth while , good stuff fella 👍🏻

[@OneManTrail]

When you said the tunnel smelled like a Disney ride, I could smell it in my head.

[@anillambakane3266]

You really don’t need to ask for likes, sub n share, you deserve it. Thanks for showing the world, loved it

[@WilliamGloege]

Thanks friend....!!!

[@toddwhiteley6808]

Hey William, a big howdy from Tex. It was a real pleasure to meet you in person and I appreciated the time you gave to your presentation and the persoanl touch of talking with us. I am native here and have the bike bug as well. Your presentation in to me was inspiring and make the committment to just do it. I am wanting another to join in and do it as a team, but you have show you can go it alone. I tip my hat… Wish you all the best on whatever adventure you set out next. You have mny number, dont hisitate to use it if you need anything, bike problem, even a bed to sleep in you are are always welcome. Tex

[@motonawaz]

It will be great to hear about your experiences in other countries especially the ones overseas. It'll defenatly help clear the phobia some have about traveling to unfamiliar places. You do a great job making your videos! I like all of them and thanks for showing us around the world. I hope to meet you someday... it will sure be an honor!!

[@WilliamGloege]

Thanks friend.

[@CarlB558]

Looking forward to seeing your pres in Dallas!

[@nomad5176]

Guys, check out 2 machines at the beginning. Aces!

[@iancurnow9060]

I find myself smiling at times, as I watch your videos.!!☺️☺️. Oh, I'll be at IMS Dallas on Sat evening. To bad I can't make it Friday... will be returning from Colorado that day. All the best with your presentations.

[@WilliamGloege]

I look forward to meeting you. I will be giving both presentations on Saturday. So Sat is the right day to make fun of me. Thanks for watching!

[@toddgardner3088]

Items for discussion in Texas...Border Crossings / Check Points Intercontinental Crossing, and documents needed. Equipment needed or not needed ie... GPS, Tools, Extra Parts etc. Fuel Mileage on the AT vs Services. How do you find places to stay. Camping vs Hotels. No need to feel like you were "Grumpy" I don't think it came off that way at all... Great Vlog and series

[@alexsgreece710]

I love your videos , 3 days now I am on my computer and this is a great trip . Thanks my friend

[@nellaad]

Hope to see you in Dallas, William!

[@brucekendall52]

Thks for sharing the experience

[@moscosotpedro]

Nice video William, good luck in your presentation on the motorcycle motor show in Dallas..! Have fun my friend

[@WilliamGloege]

Yeeeeeeee Haw. Miss you buddy.

[@kevingallagher3]

Not one for leaving KZbin comments but I must tell you I love the channel I love the quality I love the bike and literally heading to the dealership today to pick up my daughter's first dirt bike and start the haggling process to purchase my new 2017 or 2018 Africa twin. Keep up the good work good luck in your continued success.

[@TWPeeps]

Great presentation in Dallas! You think it will be hard adjusting to being home? Not traveling all the time? Kinda like being at the playboy mansion all day and having to go home. Great videos! Take care.

[@natejordan9271]

Awesome vids man, love the drone work too. What are you speaking about in Dallas? That might bring more relevant questions to the Q&A, or at least talking points from us.

[@WilliamGloege]

I am speaking about Adventure motorbiking. I have a general idea what I am talking about but specifics help. Thanks for watching.

[@MonoLake02]

Can you film one of your presentations and post it or even live stream it ? Also talk about your gear evolution over time - I always over think and consequently over pack. Can you also critique the Africa Twin - I am curious if you think that a smaller bike of similar design would be better or if the AT is just right...

[@tburnettiii]

I would cross into Texas at Puente de Columbia, NW of Laredo, much easier, no traffic. Damn, well i’m going to miss your presentation. I’m on a biz trip in San Jose, CA for the next couple of weeks. Would have enjoyed riding my AT from Austin to see you talk.

[@WilliamGloege]

Thanks man. I am actually from Santa Cruz, CA

[@tburnettiii]

Never been to Santa Cruz, so we are heading down there now for the day.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

simple but quality gear, good stuff, trip is almost over! CRY

[@neilrose6558]

Keep up the great work, love your blogs and stay safe on the road

[@cpuuk]

Re the talk: Safety- both personal and bike.

[@AnyMotoUSA]

Guanajuato looks awesome. I hear there is a tunnel system there that is awesome (but dangerous for two wheels)

[@WilliamGloege]

Awesome, but not dangerous.

[@christinegreen7120]

Hi William - really enjoy your videos. How do you get your Garmin 660 to give an off road option? When I select 'off road' on mine it gives me a straight line - as if by plane!

[@offroadtrailrider77]

Too bad ur presentation is not in Austin since I would attend. Good luck with the pitch. You have excellent material to pull from for the last couple of years. Consider getting sponsored by touratech and put together a video series of all the BDR’s, TAT, and Continental Divide Trail.

[@TheDonInLondon]

ktm trailrider you got a nice channel too buddy

[@WilliamGloege]

I will do the BDR some day. Thanks for watching.

[@bstadele]

Videotape your presentation please . also will be great a walk thru the show.​ I know you made it to texas so you are basically back home turf

[@JulioAwesome]

Where you at now? It's feb 7th. I'm in Bryan Texas you should stop by for a free place to stay and fast internet. Please let me know!

[@ruudruud8758]

Thx for the videos William, I like the combination of riding a motorbike and traveling and meeting people without prejudice. It's easier to judge people or countries than to try and understand them. It also tells me I should not have prejudices about Americans)). Anyway, the traveling mindset might also be a subject of your presentation. Will you be posting your presentations overhere? I'm afraid I won't be able to attend, as I have a day job overhere in Holland))

[@WilliamGloege]

I will record the presentations and do more videos that hit on some of the bigger questions.

[@agarciaguero]

Hey how’s it going? Thank you man because you’re the reason I traded my cbr600rr for the Africa twin. I couldn’t be happier. I’m short for the Africa twin (5’6). But I can manage I think 🤔. Keep up the good work.

[@robertfeliciano2043]

Are you coming up by Austin? If so I am riding up to Dallas too, Its about 3 hrs on I 35.

[@peterbrophy9442]

Nothing to be sorry about! It was a great commentary. Still would like to know what tubes you use in those tires. Regular, HD, or Ultra Heavy Duty. I know you carry spare(s) how many? Was it you who said your front tube can be used on the back in a pinch?

[@WilliamGloege]

I carry a front and rear spare tube. I like HD, but I use what i can get my hands on. My biggest suggestion is to change out your tubes every 10-15,000 miles. Use the old tube a spare. Tubes wear out, I dont think that people recognize this. Thanks for watching.

[@jennydiazvigneault5548]

I like your vids and I like the bike. Have you had problems with rust around the rims or problems relating to the fork?. I heard those are weak points on the AT.

[@WilliamGloege]

I had a little corrosion on the inside of the wheels. I did spend a lot of time on the Salt Flats in Uyuni. Easy fix. Sandpaper and a rattle can of paint. $2.00 fix. Thanks for watching.

[@BruceWalkerTexasRanger]

When are you speaking in Dallas?

[@joeyy33]

Great quote.

[@gabecash22]

Hey there!! Great trip, by the way. But firstly, what's up with the date? It"s 2018, rigth? It sas "2017".. And finally, i can only imagine why not trough Brasil, but, i wanna here it from you. Why not? And just in case in your next trip you need a place to crash in south Brasil, be my guest!! Keep up the good job!! See ya! (PS:i could've sad that in portuguese by 'da way, rigth?)

[@donekovacki6755]

Hi mate.love your videos awesome stuff.can you please tell me bit of info about your drone.and if you're visiting Australia be my gest

[@WilliamGloege]

DJI Mavic Pro. Amazing.

[@InertialExplorer]

Hey, what kind of a drone do you use ?

[@My17A]

That is one long road trip you have done so far. Not sure if anyone has brought this up before, but I was wondering what the state of your health is. I know we don't see everything, but it seems like plenty of time in the saddle with very little exercise and lots of unhealthy food...

[@WilliamGloege]

Good question. Easy to answer. I am fat. Gained 30 pounds. Beer and tacos.

[@My17A]

You gained 30 pounds and the clothes you started the trip with still fit? I'm not trying to be a smartass, cause I'm not very good at it. That is something that would keep me from doing a trip longer than a week or two. I think I would feel like shite after a few weeks on the road.

[@60ri52]

How much kilometers on honda?

[@WilliamGloege]

60,000 km

[@simonbell1774]

I'd like your opinion (solution to) staying fit and healthy while on a long trip please. Si

[@ShelleyRaskin]

So, what is the one thing you took with you that you could not do without (not the bike).

[@WilliamGloege]

Good Riding gear, music. Thanks!

[@coolhandchunk]

Why not cotton? Moisture? I personally don't like wool....

[@WilliamGloege]

I dont really like wool either. Itchy and hard to take care of. Cotton holds water and gets stinky easier. Good synthetic avoids all these issues.

[@Droverification]

Synthetic that avoids stink...lulz!?!?! Wool!

[@Rezaroth]

Love the video. But, sorry for what?!

[@DT11acs]

For being grumpy in the last video....

[@Rezaroth]

I didn't watch I'm afraid, but apology accepted :D

[@TheDonInLondon]

Haha i was thinking this too

[@WilliamGloege]

For being grumpy.

[@chriscram1559]

Subjects of possible interest... (1) multi-country 'adventure' planning; border crossings, visa's... do's and don'ts (2) food/cooking do's and don'ts (3) SA (situational awareness) and personal security. ( Lion's in the camp? )

[@WilliamGloege]

Thank you for this. I will hit these points.

[@xingtimezonz]

oh, that's what the thumb loop is for. lol, who knew!?

[@WilliamGloege]

It works for other things too.

[@Ramo718]

Good videos. Keep it up 👍

[@iterm1]

Your videos are awesome but too short ... 😜

[@WilliamGloege]

Thats what she said... Hahahahah. It takes a long time to edit these bastards... Thanks for watching!!

[@SupermotoCentral]

No Earplugs? 😱

[@WilliamGloege]

What???? I cant hear you!. Yes I wear earplugs

[@randiruge1265]

Out of all the Subscriptions I have, you're the one I enjoy the most. Thanks for taking the time to do these. If you need a place to stay in Phoenix Arizona let me know.

[@WilliamGloege]

Gracias amigo. Hit me up when I get closer, we could ride together.

[@jh05er]

Woah. First to comment. =) Anyway, best of luck bud. Safe travel as always!

[@WilliamGloege]

Does that make you or me the virgin? Thanks for watching.

[@rogeliodegino749]

[@Puttj]

Sorry? Just apologize.

[@WilliamGloege]

Im sorry.

[@markjacobs6294]

Hates public speaking but does KZbin Vlogs and pumps Klim products. I love irony.

[@WilliamGloege]

Mark Jacobs talking to a camera is definitely not public speaking. Big difference for me. Thanks for watching.

[@markjacobs6294]

Quality video and good info. Thanks.

[@harleysrule2176]

Not sure why anybody would want to go to that third world hellhole. But... have fun.

[@WilliamGloege]

hell hole? Have you been? maybe you would change your mind if you met the people, ate the food and saw the sights. I challenge you to stretch your boundaries.... you might like it. Dont worry, i wont tell anyone. Thanks for watching.
