  • Complete coverage of this chopper road trip can be found at: www.lowbrowcustoms.com/blog/t...
    Six days on the road with a small group of friends, riding 1,500 miles through the USA and Canada. Circumnavigating Lake Erie and Lake Huron while seeing all five of the Great Lakes. We called it the Great Lakes Escape, but it was really a reason to hit the road, disconnect the internet and have some fun. Living in the moment, sharing our experiences with each other at each stop or at the end of the day. Good company, good vibes and good times. The bikes were a mix, from a 1959 Harley-Davidson Panhead chopper and a 1967 Norton Atlas cafe racer to a couple of Sportsters, an FXR and a Softail. We wanted to share the good times we had on this trip with you, so we brought our friend Leland along to film some of the fun along the way. What we hope you get from this video is that trips like this are amazing and completely attainable. These are the good old days happening right now. Mark some days off on your calendar, grab some friends and hit the road! It's a wonderful way to see the world. Get out there and ride... Adventure awaits.

    My god. The seats on those bikes have my ass sore just looking at them. Took a sportster on a weekend trip just over 1000km and I couldn’t feel my ass for 85% of it. These riders are as legit as they come. Was cool to see Bridalveil Falls, so off the beaten path (good 2hr round trip off the highway they would have had to been riding to complete this trip) but so cool to see. I’m itching for the open road now. Thanks for sharing, I think many of us in the comments would love this trip itinerary to ride it ourselves if you would so kindly share it. Cheers.

      we basically took the road closest to the lake and stuck to it for the most part. some reason the photos are missing from this blog post but. there are the words that go through most of the trip. www.lowbrowcustoms.com/blogs/events-features/the-great-lake-escape-2018?_pos=2&_sid=245984f6c&_ss=r

    Nice vid. Did the Superior Loop solo in early 80s on a 1972, CB350. No support vehicle, cell phone and internet not invented...camped every night.

      We road up from Iowa to Duluth and the North Shore 10 years ago. Up the Mississippi from Dubuque, crossed over at Lansing, and up the Wisc. side through LaCrosse, Chippewa Falls to Superior. Hung out in Duluth and road the North Shore. Good times and I recommend it!

    • @markjacobs6294
      @markjacobs6294 6 років тому +4

      My bet is these days nobody would ever do anything without having a cell phone with them, including me. It seems that everyone has to social media everything these says for a pat on the back, a thumbs up or an atta boy...in the old days we just did it, celebrated with a beer and a few pictures ON FILM and got by just fine without a sag wagon following us to pick up any parts. That's what our thumbs was for...

    • @purdyquibb
      @purdyquibb 6 років тому +2

      I can tell you I don't think I would do it without a cell phone. I'm not on FB, Don't really know what a twitter is but I am usually solo. Knowing should something happen I can at least get in touch with someone gives me great piece of mind. I wish it was like it use to be but the world has changed so much I think I would be scared to stick my thumb in the wind now a days.

    The last time I was in Canada I was aboard my 67 BSA Lightning which I still have tucked away in the barn and this all took place in 1972. We finally found a motel that would rent us a room and this was around the 6th motel that we stopped at and all with there vacancy signs all lit up I guess they didn't like motorcycles up in that part of the world. Well as we were riding around up there one of the sets of points went south on the old Beezer and she started running on one cylinder the cherry red pipe looked real nice at night. Well when this happened we headed for home and we were able to get back as far as Sandy Lake Pa. and I figured I pushed the old girl far enough. Sent my Brother back to Ohio to get his van and the Beezer got to rest the rest of the way back home...oh the memories.

    This hands down the most awsum motorcycle video ever made, it is total genius, I don’t know how it’s possible but some how it was, perhaps the planets alinghed, or it was a full moon, or maybe the dog didn’t poop in the front yard that day, but whatever hopefully it can be replicated
