WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF? Exploring Country Roads on my Dyna

[@doughnut3639]

You said you thought your videos were boring. as just some random dude in the internet, I find it kinda interesting just watching the scenery and hearing the thoughts inside the helmet. I kinda talk to myself and let my mind wander a bit when I’m on the bike. It’s cool hearing someone else’s thoughts, especially from someone with your seemingly genuine personality

[@hermit8955]

Your vlogs are far from boring! They are really entertaining and for somebody from Europe like me it's nice to see all the backroads of a totally different continent. Keep on keepin' on.

[@dougwright3444]

I love taking roads I don’t know and just spend miles exploring. I think your idea of a spring event sounds like a winner. We will all be ready to spend time on our bikes and with fellow bikers when spring comes. A winter of COVID social distancing is going to bite big time since riding time will be limited here in Iowa. I may have to load it up and head south for a week.

[@stevebarcalow383]

Thank you again for great content, Jess! Reminds me of just how much fun I used to have before my girl broke down. BUT!!!..... I do have a new girl comin soon! 2000 Victory V92C ! Who knows!!...may even be riding it to Ohio for your spring event when I swing thru to see family there in Canton! Keep up the great content! Just being you is what makes your channel fun to watch! Just be you!!!! 😉

[@rob8379]

What I like about your videos are your attitude and personality. You make me smile and laugh. Refreshing.

[@seanmulligan2608]

I like your videos. I don't think they're boring. Of the motor-vloggers that I watch you're the only one whose videos I actually watch all the way through. You kind of think out loud while you're riding which I do as well, except I'm just talking to myself in my helmet :-). You like riding they way that I do. I'm usually by myself on back roads, maybe get lost or mixed up for a few miles then find my way again. Although you're braver than me; I haven't tried the cross country thing yet. The farthest I've ridden is a little over 200 miles one way up into Northeast PA from Baltimore. Keep the videos coming and don't sweat if they're "boring" or not. I think the vast majority of people who watch you like your content... (Dammit! Now I feel like riding and it's pouring outside today in Baltimore)

[@russcoaus2043]

You're content is not boring your channel is the best. You rock girl see you in the next one. 😁👌👍🇦🇺

[@ridethestorm6690]

I do this all the time! I live in the Laurel Highlands of PA , It’s easy to get lost and just keep exploring until you recognize a road it’s good therapy

[@Bbqtotem]

Don’t change much, your videos are good, you’re funny and quality is great. A lot of channels start growing and think them need to change but the reason you grew was your content. The colabs are fun, just ride and record!

[@jonk6196]

Some of my favorite video's of your's...are when you just ride and babble 😂😂 Not boring!!!

[@sherryberry6690]

Im so happy to see Nox again!!!! Thank you for the videos Jess!

[@MrBombom25]

I love the back roads that you roll on, again thanks for sharing👍👍👍

[@danadiggins793]

Some if my best rides were when I got lost and discovered a great road...and always surprised when it dumped me on a road I knew! Nice ride Jess!

[@fleggrat1974]

You say boring but I say I am always in a better mood for watching your posts . Thank you .

[@chrissolano2010]

Your never boring your funny with your commentary and I love beautiful scenery you show

[@scottvereb4183]

I ride a 15 road glide and still go on roads like that. It's an adventure. Try a set of progressive shocks . Jess- keep up the good work, you are Not boring!

[@wagzusmvmc8567]

I don't find the videos boring, however, more motorcycle camping videos would be awesome to see in the spring!

[@Chase_N]

H2W- Gravel driveways are scary! Me- Has a gravel driveway, lives 1.5 miles up a gravel road with 2 steep inclines, & I do it on a Dyna. I ride some of the most beautiful roads in OH & WV every time I leave the house. Don't let fear keep you from comfy country living & great riding opportunities.

[@anthonygm85]

Come ride in California you'll love it year round riding, it took me 3 months to get me confondence to ride my bike comfortably and I take the safe road as its already dangerous enough riding. Keep up the good work girl.

[@yescavol1637]

Hello from Nashberia where we’re getting snow showers today. I’m a relatively new subscriber who started with the camper series. Your videos are not boring at all. To me they’re relaxing and fun to watch. I’d suggest losing the tinted windshield or swapping it for a clear one so it’s not in the way so much. A future fun activity could be a small group ride led by you where everyone completes an Iron Butt challenge?? Keep up riding and motovlogging! You’re doing great!!

[@bikerbrinrac]

Yeah i regularly go on alot of very skinny mountain type rough roads winding around which are hairy but they are fun to ride 😃🏍️👍

[@marckelly4670]

I ride a 07 dyne and recently switched from the vance and Hines short shots to the Bassani road rage. I love the power but miss the sound. Love the sound of your bike.

[@nsr50rst]

"Respect your motorcycle." is a good word to recall,to hold on my self on motorcycle.

[@arizonabigfoot9030]

Such beautiful country! Thanks for sharing that with us all!

[@philipdean5338]

Great video, your videos are never boring, just real life.. All the best from the UK, Take care Jess & ride safe.........

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

Great vid once a again!!So normally in rural and country areas, when alot of houses have "ponds" next to them, they are usually whats call a draft pond. They are they mainly for the fire department to have a water source near a home or building in case of fire.

[@HerTwoWheels]

OH! Why didn't I think of that! genius!

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

@@HerTwoWheels i was a volley FF for 20+ years.... drafted out many many ponds!!

[@jeremypalumbo9555]

I hear you. I went on a ride a couple weeks ago although something was telling me not to. I went to get gas before riding as I went around the corner to go to the gas station a car hit the median and rolled over in front of me. I turned around and went home! Crazy!

[@HerTwoWheels]

WTF?! lol!

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

That internal voice is real!! I dont always wear a helment, but when i hear that internal voice tell me to do it, i do..... it saved a time or two...

[@whskywolf]

Got to love those one lane back roads that never get repaved just a patch here and there and wheel grooves where the cars ride right down the middle of the road. Have fun and be safe.

[@97delkron]

glad to see you venturing off the highways and starting to explore country roads. i expect the triumph will be much better for this. i always try to get folks to pick up a cheap dirt bike and ride some off road. practice body positioning, weighting pegs, clutch control. all these things that make for better off road rider also translate to better street riders. plus when it's hella cold out... like to cold for street bike, the dirt bike is a hoot as you are working and that keeps you warm. and it's fun... and gets you outta house and into woods. all good things!

[@timlewis5480]

This is the kind of video that drew me to your channel. There are already thousands of Moro lovers that do reviews and information themes on KZbin. I personally like the laid back ride and enjoy the sights and scenery but that’s what I get to do in WV. Life needs to be enjoyed and relaxed. I can find information and reviews if I need them I just like the simple ride and enjoy that you do. Keep it up.

[@scoobymoto9858]

Not knowing where you’re going is my favorite way to ride. I love random country roads.

[@Paul20661]

Nice

[@webwinger]

I like your video. These backroads are the best on a motorcycle. A little adventure is much more fun. If you don't like gravel roads, take an off-road course some day. It is fun (and makes a nice video). I am from the Netherlands but have been riding a borrowed Harley Lowrider in South Afrika and found out that you can do much more on a Harley then you think.

[@melissagreen7049]

Now, if the weather holds a bit, take this same route on the Scrambler and see if that feels better. You can also stand up on your pegs on it to see over a blind hill if you want :) Mid-controls for the win!

[@redawg23mobile]

Your channel is not boring...your just not as interested the second time you relive your ride...keep doing what works......my channel is boring...I'm still learning

[@HerTwoWheels]

Man... you might be right about that haha! didn't think of it that way

[@thevoiceinmyhelmet3827]

Yes ,You Go Ride ,Girl !

[@DennisJPolson]

Loved your “fight” with Siri!! 😂 Your desire to help empower others to “face their fears” enough to try something they may actually love is truly your calling, Jess.

[@life_behind_bars]

Just hearing the joy in your voice while you ride helps take the edge off of not being able to ride because of the low temps here. Anything below 40 and I'll need to get heated boxers 😂

[@phoso29]

A get together next spring is a great idea! DO IT! Be our "tour" guide as you showcase some of those back roads you often show case and do a camp out-fest at the same time. Job depending...I'll ride out from upstate NY for that MCPOOLOOZA!

[@Whiskeyagogo519]

Your a safe rider you have good technique. The greatest motorcycle safety is having a good head on your shoulders .. I watch Dan the fireman's safety motorcycle videos and if you drive a motorcycle properly like you wanna live you should be fine !

[@jamessouthworth1699]

I'm sitting here waiting for a part for my Dyna so it's so nice to go for a ride with you today.

[@soganoflarider]

I’ve got an ‘18 Chieftain which I have to take out over a mile of South Georgia washboard dirt (white sand) road. Needless to say back roads like mine helped me learn the friction zone/rear brake technique real quick like😜👍

[@davidskaggs9914]

You need a dirt bike so you can hit some dirt and gravel roads super fun too, glad to see you all ride in the cold. Today is the coldest day we've had in five years in South Texas and I'm fixing to go for a 200 mile ride 😁

[@larry68hd11]

Love your intro & sound of your bike !! Allways enjoy 😉

[@evelynwilson7586]

As long as there is gas in the tank and the road is paved you’re not lost. D Wil

[@lyd2044]

I'd love to come ride with you once the weather breaks. I'm only a little over an hour from Columbus! But we just had our first snow today and it hasn't stopped ☹️

[@roypearce6968]

You are good at what you do and you explain a lot especially a person like me who don’t ride like me I would love to learn to ride. Thanks for sharing.🏍🏍😊

[@EcoSpeeder]

With every riding season the Mindful rider becomes more confident and aware. The fact that you still get a case of the " yipes " occasionally is a good thing to be faced.

[@stuffwithdono]

Hey Jess! If it makes you feel better, the day i bought my first motorcycle, i found your channel in August and you inspired me to want to go motocamping. Thanks Jess! Love from Ontario, Canada!

[@Papa_Kilo]

When I lived in the USA, I took the Abate course and bought a bike. The roads are so much better than here in the UK. The gas prices are great too over there. I miss Indiana so bad. One thing that did shock me was how easy the abate riding course was. Then I took the car licence, basically I drove around the block and parked up and that was it! Did I say I missed Indiana already? 🙈

[@budr243]

Love riding with you !!!

[@dalekidd420]

You weren't just kidding about hearing banjoes... especially once you realize that that flock of big birds overhead were Vultures! And by the number of them circling, you can be pretty sure that there was a pretty fair-sized and very dead something-or-other close by!

[@leemyers4527]

Hey Jess! I know you have mentioned about wanting to get a bagger someday. Have you ever considered a Road King? Best of luck with 100k subscribers!

[@walterfechter8080]

Whenever you ride -- angels all around you.

[@jamesbrown3358]

I love that type of riding. When you come to a fork in the road, take it!

[@NVARider]

Love hitting the back country roads around my area. Just gotta be careful. Sometimes the pavement ends and the road is suddenly gravel. 😀

[@HerTwoWheels]

my biggest fear! hahaha! been there one too many times!

[@GoodLifeRiders]

Just love the purr purr your bike! Also love when you banter with yourself! 😉👍🏻♥️

[@davidlbilke]

"Don't know where this road goes?" Well as long as it is paved it goes somewhere!

[@motorcyclestoriesbydarkdave]

Enjoy the roads and ride. Funny Siri has a habit of calling 911 for you? Love back roads.

[@MotoSera]

Country roads are the best...don't have anything else around where I am - although they are covered in mud right now. I'm not a fan of busy main roads, or group rides, mainly because I like to ride my own ride and go at the pace I want to. I ride with my partner and that's about it.

[@MotoMengy]

Exploring new roads on motorcycles is one of my favorite things to do when riding! 😁

[@chrispaterson1661]

The best trips are the ones where you don't know where the roads go. Your siri comment made me belly chuckle 😆 bloody siri lol

[@brorito]

I like that "respect the machine you're on"

[@erich.4305]

I don't have a bike now. I had one 20 years ago and hope to get one in a couple of years but it is not in the budget yet. When you said motorcycles are expensive, well that is why I don't have one . I don't think they are real expensive but they are something you need to have extra money for. I will get one again until then I will just live through your rides.

[@warriorgoddesscrystalgeome6337]

Hey there! Everything you’ve said during your five years of ridingI go through in my mind all the time and I’ve been riding for 15 years. I did sell my sportster 1200 custom 2005 a few months ago and now I have a Kawasaki versus 300 X so I can learn to ride on the dirt gravel roads nothing crazy but to be able to go and ride on the gravel because where I live in Oregon there’s a lot of fire roads and trails. But since you’re riding on a little bit of a rough road it’s just gonna make you a better rider. Every KZbinr go through a little bit of burn out but you’ll get creative I love your videos you have been very inspirational to us women riders. Sending love from Bend ,Oregon. 🥰🙌

[@youmustbethistall5861]

You should consider coming down around the Dayton way in 2021. Preble Co is close by and they have a lot of covered bridges; make a nice ride. FYI - for some reason this Vid did not alert, but I was looking for your Monday post anyway. BUCKAROO!

[@charlessexton1719]

You should come to Oklahoma. We have lots of great roads to ride on. And beautiful country.

[@daveross5314]

I lived in Ohio for 20 years a pond in the yard was for fire company's to pump out of if the house or barn was on fire because they didn't have city water or fire hydrants.

[@speedie8776]

I took to motorcycles like fish to water haha. My first bike was a gsxr 600. What a blast to hit 6th gear @ 150+, missing times like that.

[@MotoBlonde]

“Please no one come around this corner” 😂😂😂 I say that all the time when I’m out. Those patches are the WORST!!!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Those blind corners really take the joy out of the ride when you know the local drivers!

[@aragos32727]

You two need to do a collab! 2 blondes 4 wheels! Lol

[@tomtruesdale6901]

"Tar snakes" can add excitement to a ride

[@dadoleyna]

Just outside my town there are alternating sections of patch-bad pavement-patch-grooved pre-patch-patch, pothole-grooves. Pick a single hazard please....

[@hessman5198]

Sometimes the fun and adventure is not really knowing where you are or where you're going to end up.

[@Godlobber]

That was a neat ride, it reminded me a little bit of Western Washington and I kept looking for the mountains in the background. Washington seems to have two kinds of riding California class hell traffic and woodsy type twisties where every corner is blind and the speed limit is was set in a different era of population. It's fun and challenging.. well at least the twisties are fun but riding is rarely ever just a "mello" ride.

[@coltwinchester94]

encorporate some foods in your videos, like camping after a long ride or just find some beautiful spots and grab some snack and coffee along with you; with your bike at the background. You know, something like that. I think that’ll be interesting. Trip 🏍 + Food 🍱 = 😌😊🤪

[@staceytoepfert7684]

😂🤣😂I love it. When you said music playing I had the same tune in my head 🤣😂. Loved this video 🤙🍻

[@michaelmitchell5909]

You need to get a suspension upgrade for your girl there!.....those rough roads will disappear!.....id love to do a ride with you and your husband this spring! ....coming from washington county, PA....Progressive shocks are inexpensive and your bike will ride awesome.....unless you wanna go top shelf and get legend...

[@scrapperstacker8629]

Banjos..... I think this is my favorite video so far. I love the comments as you ride. I would love an event next year. I’ve been looking for a reason to ride my ultra classic to Ohio.

[@shenanigansofmannanan]

Growing up on dirtbikes helps alot when it comes to riding rough roads as an adult. Momentum and the engine being under mid-power band load will help "charge and follow through" an obstacle like tree roots or " whoop sections" on a motocross track or raised road patches. The lower end torque or even just coasting over an obstacle is more bulldozer like and you'll notice the impact in the suspension more. *To be clear I'm not suggesting you ride faster or more aggressively than you've exhibited already on your channel. This can absolutely be achieved at the same speeds, but with a different approach. This is really more about being consciencious of the physics behind the technique to adapt your style for those conditions. I'd be interested to see you run the same road on the Scrambler and see if you notice s difference. Different transmission and final gearing, contrasting suspension philosophies, power to weight ratio.... It's a whole new world when you start to compare your children to each other LoL Please forgive the unsolicited suggestion of technique. Hope you can glean something useful from it!

[@brooksstonestreet4946]

Country roads take me home, to a place where I belong . . . Your footage looks wonderful!!!!!

[@yankeeryder7430]

Yes,,...have an event that includes some of the other vloggers as well,..make it into a meet and greet type of event, with a car/bike show and food trucks....

[@luisoutumuro424]

Nothing like shoveling snow from a gravel driveway. 😁

[@brorito]

All right. I think you've earned it. I'll subscribe.

[@mikemelia6663]

I am 76 and rode by myself for years, then 4 Harley riders heard about my trips around Ohio,West Virginia, and Pa. I have taken this group for rides ,and showed them places they didn’t know Existed Look at maps and plan a ride to places to eat, national forest, and tourist attractions. For example restaurant on Allegheny river, Pa. Penitentiary, moundsville West Virginia, ferry crossing sistersville,W.V., route 7 , Ohio, etc.

[@awesomeandre1757]

Well if you start taking your MC to the track and race it... Things will break, you could do repairs, and also upgrading your bike with the stage 1 stage 2 stage 3 stage 4. Will keep people coming back for more

[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

It's a great driving video. Very Very Cool!👍👍👍👌

[@rockyj2769]

you commented on homes having ponds. in rural areas you can sometimes get a reduction in home owners insurance cost by having a nearby water source.

[@biketotable873]

You're getting SO much closer to that 100K Subscribers! looking forward to seeing that number on your channel

[@ronscott7546]

Heck yeah little one you have the perfect bike for running around on bumpy ass back roads i love doing that

[@beeweb1137]

It is snowing today in Northern Ohio so the season is officially over for me. It is the Battery Tenders time to shine till next spring.

[@williamarinder8809]

Be sure and put some fuel stabilizer or Seafoam in your tank. and run motor for a few minutes to get it in the carburetor.

[@LittleMoes_Motivation]

I have arguments with myself and google all the time when i ride!!! You are not alone in this!!!

[@aox32]

I'm in for the Her.Two.Wheels 2021 event!

[@daneulekowski929]

It would be kinda cool if you did some ride reviews on older bikes. I bought a 97 Honda Magna almost 20 years ago and every body that rides it hates me for having a bike with better performance ( except braking ability ) than they bikes they have big loans on. I bet a bunch of people would let you test their bikes.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Glad YOU enjoyed the video.

[@RCCartel]

I feel your pain with them stock shocks. You got to get you a pair of some legends suspension on the back makes a world of difference I know they’re a little bit pricey but definitely worth the money.

[@JohnnyXoz]

"STUPID Siri, if she calls 91..." Siri: Calling 911 "NO!!!" 😂

[@HerTwoWheels]

I was scared for a minute haha!

[@silberfj]

My watch activated the emergency beacon thing on a cross-state ride one time. All of a sudden, I started getting calls from my immediate family in a panic. I don’t wear it on my wrist while riding anymore.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

I have had my cell phone call 9-1-1 several times while I am riding, it now get stuffed in the cup holder so I can keep an eye on it. Even when I lock the screen it has done it. Uggg

[@dave09650]

putting yourself into uncomfortable road situations teaches you alot. It prepares you for when poo hits the fan and mommy Nature changes on you. Road snakes suck AKA tar strips.

[@stevennewton8323]

my daughter sold her sporty, trying to talk her into a dyna wide..i enjoy all your videos! get going be safe

[@tammycunningham3166]

Rough roads are ohio.lol I'm in eastern ohio ,that's how country roads are here.they take you to the most amazing places. Waterfalls ,beaches,and state parks.I love our chat rides. When it's to cold

[@stepheneckles2345]

OK wanna get better then you need to go take some track days where they will teach you stuff to make you better at riding. Take the scrambler because it will be a better bike to ride on the track. I used to want to be dragging my knees in the corners but I know it takes more time and effort than I want to invest. So I go ride alone and keep it cool so I don't end up in the ditch. Sucks crashing alone in the sticks and waiting to be rescued. Was cracking up about that hill in Oregon we have some real hills 6% 8% grade but hella fun going up. Keep it cool out there.:)

[@renaudbrideau8733]

Like the way you revv your engine a the end of the video ! You go girl ! Nice road to ride on, I love the country road that is my favourite riding roads.

[@andreaconnor6209]

🤣 the roads!! I ride county roads at the corner of GA, NC & SC. I ALWAYS know when i cross into SC because of the roads 😂 but the views sometimes are sooo worth it!
