    This video was so amusing! I loved being surprised by all the lil things we take for granted these days. I'd follow you down the old spiral highway but I'm more curious than clever 😂 Walking into the wheat field is so something I would do. What an amazing journey! ❤️🏍️🏕️

    Hi Sterling, last summer around the time this video was shot, I went to a golf trip from Tacoma to Moscow Idaho and visited the places shown here including Lewiston and Clarkston. It was at the time when I thought to myself how wonderful it would be to ride this beautiful scenic road on a motorcycle. I came home, bought a motorcycle, took an MSF course, got myself a permit then an endorsement, and now I am a very happy rider. Maybe this summer I will go back there, but this time on my motorcycle. Ride on, and thank you for the wonderful video series.

  • @xzouix
    @xzouix Рік тому +1

    That piece where you walk into a wheat field with a classical music playing in the background totally resonated with me. Sometimes when just riding through and watching the landscapes change is not enough, merging with the scenery does the trick. Feeling alive and present is why many of us ride, and it's moments like this one that make the experience of connectedness unforgettable. Thank you for sharing this moment.

    Campsite nirvana, complete with charcuterie board and box wine! Very fancy! It doesn’t get any better! Cool that you go to meet a few fans. You’ve got friends all over the world, Sterling, courtesy of your peerless videography. You may not fully appreciate it, but you make all of our lives just a little better. Thank you! As an aside, it’s funny how much gear we have in common. I’ve got the same saw, and I saw that classic little Opinel pocket knife poking out. Best cheese and sausage slicer, ever. Splurge and get yourself a little Sea to Summit inflatable pillow. They pack down to nothing, and they are _so_ much more comfy than the ol’ jacket-in-a-stuff-sack pillow!😃

    🤪 “I'm in a wheat field...” Dude, too funny. That hill north of Lewiston is beautiful! A few years back, I headed east on #12 to Missoula, which remains in my top five asphalt twisty turns. I'm guilty of stopping for swims when it's hot, no shame, strip down to boxers and jump in; sometimes you need a refreshing dip. Plus, hailing from the cool climate of the great white North, a cold river to you is like a running hot spring for us. As always, thank you for sharing this fantastic content. Muddy side down! 😊
