    I get many questions about how I have gotten where I am. How do I make a living, and what was it like in the beginning? In this video I discuss everything from how I started, the struggles and the highlights of the road life. I also explained the focus of my time on the road. Traveling with a dog, battling Mother Nature, and getting hit by a car. This is the story of my life and a description of just how I got where I am today.

    Love it brother. I rode around the world, 74,000 miles through 54 countries in 442 Days, solo and unsupported, all on a crotch rocket (Suzuki GSX-R1000). Like you I sold absolutely everything and took that leap of faith to begin life on the road. It’s the greatest feeling in the world.
    Wishing you nothing but the best brother, stay safe and keep living your life 🙏👍

    I started following your mission when you went through WI your first summer. I just happened to be at my local dealer for demo days. Had no idea who you were or what your mission was. The dealership didnt really put much behind it which is really sad. I saw the war horse and was blown away that someone had gotten that much gear on one bike. I didnt ride with you that day, but started following you on FB. I finally got to actually talk to you this last summer at Doc in Green Bay. Almost 2 years later. You are a true inspiration to me. And I hope you can keep moving forward on all your dreams.

If and when you ride through Minnesota just look me up and you and Scooter have a place to call home for as long as you need including meals and a garage with tools, year round.

    The phone should never be used when driving at all.
    They can wait till they stop someplace.
    They are not just harming themselves, they are harming us all.
    I am in Indiana.
    Not far from a Harley dealer.
    They did ask me to buy a harley when i broke down near them on a 1988 Yamaha route 66 250cc.
    I painted it myself.
    They loved the paint job much.
    I told them i have always loved motorcycles back when i was 6 years old when i burned my hand on my dads friends motorcycle.
    They said, come in and do a credit check to get a harley.
    I told them the last time i went into a motorcycle dealer they laughed at me about how much money i make.
    They asked, how do you live on that amount of money ?
    I said, I don't have a wife or kids.
    My monthly income at that time was $1000 a month
    I still ended up buying 2 motorcycles from them, and they went out of business.
    The only reason i still bought 2 bikes from them after they laughed at me , because they had the cheapest prices for the bikes i wanted.
    They ended up going out of business this year.
    I may not be rich, but i know how to save my money and get what i want and need in life.
    The 2 bikes i bought is a 2005 HONDA VTX 1300r, and a 2015 Yamaha FZ07
    The Honda is a big cruiser i take on long trips for the fun of it.
    The Yamaha is a gas saver great for riding out in the country on my days off work.
    The farthest i have ridden my Honda was 820 miles on a trip.
    I used to ride a 1973 Honda 754cc for many years.
    My brother stole it and blew the motor up when i was at work.
    I loved that old Honda so much, is the reason i got me another Honda.
    It is also the first cruiser i have ever owned.
    I used to sleep on my 1973 Honda on the seat.
    I don't know how i never fell off when i was sleeping, but i didn't.
    I rode my cruiser again to Alabama, because that is the place i used to live.
    I wanted to visit my best friend and ride the bike for the fun of it also.
    I want to move back to Alabama, But this is the place i am making money.
    Is the only reason i moved to Indiana.
    Was no work to live in the place i lived in Alabama.
    So little money i ended up having to quit high school and live in a cave with just a cooking stove and a sleeping bag.
    My dad lost his job and left me to fend for myself.
    So later, after my half brother came to visit from Indiana, and blew my motorcycles engine up, I moved to Indiana, because i didn't have anyway to get to work.
    No buses or taxi's way out in the country in Alabama.
    I made it to Indiana, and lived in somebodies basement with a sleeping bag.
    All the people i was staying with said they could not find a job. But i never saw them out looking.
    I found a job in a week.
    I walked 3 hours to work, and 3 hours back everyday.
    Then i bought me a bicycle.
    Then it only took me 45 minutes to work, and 45 minutes back from work.
    I worked the job for a year paying them rent., and then started making payments on a house to own.
    The whole time i lived with them, none could find a job.
    They was living off me.
    When i moved out they all started fighting and went separate ways.
    They lost their home from not paying the taxes.
    One thing i have learned, you don't get much by doing nothing.

      “that we should kneel, rather than sit, ... during the anthem as a peaceful protest," said Reid. "We chose to kneel because it’s a respectful gesture.”
      They used their platform how they wanted which garnered the reaction they wanted . I don’t think they were trying to disrespect military members and vets .
      Anyhow this is not about them , this is about how Adam made and how he’s using his platform and living his life for a great cause . It’s amazing and I support it .
      Those who willingly go to fight and protect and support this country we live in deserves our respect . I’m surrounded by loved ones who are in the different branches of the military , I understand.
      Thank you Adam for everything ! Just started watching your videos on how to train your dog to ride on a motorcycle which led me to subscribing♥️
