Freedom on Two Wheels: Vstar USA Adventure
In the summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic motorcycle adventure across the United States on my 22-year-old Yamaha Vstar 1100. I bought the bike off of Facebook marketplace and did not have the skills to ride it home (only 9 miles away). After a little bit of practice and a few rides down to the beach, off I went.
From the bustling streets of New York to the breathtaking landscapes of the West Coast, I rode through 32 states, encountering everything from scorching heat to pouring rain.
The original plan was to go from NY to Key West, FL. I ended up riding through NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, back up to NC, TN, AR, OK, TX, NM, AZ, NV, CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, WY, CO, back through WY to SD, MN, IA, MO, KS (just over the border to eat), IL, IN, OH, PA, then NJ and back to NY. 32 different states, 346 gallons of gas in 137 different gas stations, 2 oil changes, one graduate online class, and 0 tickets. I rode early, late, alone, with groups, through rain, 104 degree heat, at sea level, at 11,700ft. I rode on interstates, single lane roads, and a few gravel roads. I saw all sorts of animals and maybe even a squatch after I drove through that tree. I ate good food, bad food, and everything in-between. I met dozens of strangers and visited family. I tried new things and saw new places. I learned a ton.
This video documents my journey: the incredible sights, the unexpected challenges, the amazing people I met along the way, and the unforgettable sense of freedom that comes with exploring the open road.
Watch and experience the thrill of the ride!

Drone Fail- GoPro Crash

I made my own quadcopter. There was a loose connection and I tried taking it up (way less than 400ft) when it was a little windy. I maintained control and was able to crash land in my backyard. Close call!

Full unedited Hibachi dinner aboard the Norwegian Escape on a cruise out of Miami. You enjoy a Hibachi dinner that is cooked right in front of you. The chef was clearly a skilled master that infused his wonderful cooking with a little bit of comedy.

    Thanks for sharing your travels on the v-star. I have been searching UA-cam to see if there is anyone who has traveled very long distances on the v-star and you are the only person with such extensive footage. Your video is very motivating.

    Was there an onion volcano? Was there a heart shaped mountain of rice? No smiley faced circle of rice?

    On the Norwegian epic tappanaki cook was so entertaining with signing, jokes, talking to each of us, performing stunts with the utensils. He was fantastic . This guy put the the guests asleep! It gets real loud in the restaurant with all the servers and people signing too.this show was not very lively or entertaining. Sorry for the negativity.

    I experienced this on the Norwegian epic and it was phenomenal! This video does not show all the music, singing, and joking going on. I had the greatest time on the epic!

    Caja de Muerto is a beautiful lost paradise located south of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Very nice footage! ... I invite you to visit my channel and watch a video called "Puerto Rico Summer 2016"... On that video there are scenes of the island taken with a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition mounted on a DJI Phantom 2 Drone... Hope to see you visiting my channel and leaving your comments on my video. Thumbs up for your video! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona.
