    I am a 74 year old man that did what you did twice, first in a 1964 Honda 50 that they now call a 'Cub'. It was 50cc and on a good day would go 35 MPH. I rode it from Lockport N.Y. to Nick Stoner Lake in the Adirondack Mts. taking back roads the whole way. Your video made me relive those great days. I have never been that far West and enjoyed seeing the scenery. Thanks for the super video. My wife recently passed away and I have returned to motorcycling here in Florida. I might just take a road trip.

    I know this video is a year old, but wow what a journey!!
    I live in Cali (San Diego, too!) and not sure if anyone explained this, but the signs say no bicycles or motor-driven cycles (like e-bikes). Motorcycles are allowed on the freeway, but they must be 150cc or more. Sooo technically the grom shouldn't have been on the 8, but what a fun journey anyway!! Hoping to ride my Honda Rebel from San Diego to Dallas someday!

    Well done! I've been Coast-to-Coast on bikes a few times, (CERTAINLY not on Groms.. you DO have a Pair!)... and I can fully appreciate all the challenges you mentioned. As I'm an older rider, I laughed when you mentioned losing your Waze and online mapping; the first time I ever rode across (1981) there were no ATM's, laptops, or digital phones; you had to use paper maps (I still do!), and carry a pocket full of quarters to use in phone booths. Congratulations! Next time, you might want to bump-up to a Honda 750 or something.

I left from Kansas City, Missouri -> TX -> NM -> AZ -> San Diego -> San Francisco -> NV -> UT -> CO -> KS -> Back home to KC. It was an epic almost 5000 mile trip (I think it was roughly 4900).

    i jus bought my second grom. this is coming from a guy who owns a 2018 honda cbr 1000rr i love my grom more. i have a 2018 and now a 2023 and i love them cuz they arent fast their jus a good speed. but in that speed you have more time to take everything in and truly enjoy the experience. it is amazing. i would choose the grom over and over and over again.

    Awesome videos man! I just bought a 2023 Grom couple weeks ago but it's still cold here in PA so I need to wait till I can really get riding. This is my first "bike" and am super excited to get riding. I have watched this video multiple times now and want to take it on a road trip once I get better and more comfortable riding. It won't be as far as you did but I want to go to my favorite store in Connecticut from PA. It's a 3 and half hour trip one way in a car so it will still be a haul for me on the Grom. I can't wait. Thanks for the awesome video!!!

    I love doing big rides on a smaller bike I find you get to enjoy the scenery waaay more instead of concentrating on everything else.
    I have a 50CC Air cooled Derby Atlantis scooter with good mods a Leo Vince pipe bigger carb and jets it's been lightened lighter varriator weights and a modified stock air box.
    On flats with not much wind I do 93-95 kph and I'm a pretty big guy.
    I would much rather ride it then either of my big bike's.
    I'd imagine that ride on the Grom would have been absolutely beautiful and awesome.

    29:48 I’m surprised you didn’t add a tire gel sealant that coats the inside of your tire so if you have a leak it will still keep pressure considering you were going on such a long journey. 😅 the gel sealant is cheap tire insurance, however if your tires are doing that …. They have to be old or a bad rubber compound for highway use. 😅
