    One thing that I see consistently in these stories is the freedom everyone feels when they get rid of all of their stuff. It’s not your work that traps you. It’s the stuff that traps you in a job you hate. The “system” doesn’t make us slaves, in our desire to acquire possessions we make slaves of ourselves.

    I was riding my motorcycle this night. The skies cleared. The weather cooled a little. It was so relaxing riding my motorcycle. We experienced rainy weather for a few previous days. I eventually jumped on the Interstate and rolled the throttle. The speed climbed, and soon, I was going 85 mph. The bike was floating, it was like magic. Smooth running, and effortless. A cool breeze hugged my body as the wind blew past in my face. It was a transcendental experience. I felt alive. It felt so good. It felt like..........Freedom. Take care, brother.

My minimum wealth requirements would be like a truck with a top, and a motorcycle with a hitch! I’ve just about got the cash saved for the truck and shell, and I’ve got a motorcycle. I guess I’ll hold off for another year or two and try to be a family man. I’m only 30 and if it want a house I’ve gotta keep saving, in the long run if I don’t find her, well heck, there’s always nicer bikes and a nicer camper.

Purchase a shop manual and a few metric tools and do your own maintenance. As long as you regularly change the oil, plugs, air filters, etc, a Honga Shadow will give good service.

      I’m sure you’re going to retort something about it being not fair to the taxpayers or whatever but the reality is the government mishandles more taxpayer funds than anyone - if we can give it to illegals crossing the border, we can take care of our own citizens in their end years of life

      ​@@nonenone1249YET..It's okay to give me WHAT FOR for something you don't like.. Never met scottie but I like him... Got many miles under my belt... Unlike you, Scotty supports freedom of speech.. Scottie missed the mark this time... He's a big boy and can handle a little honest criticism...

      🤣🤣... I didn't know children watched scottie's videos....Rite to a pissing contest... One of those people that accuses others of what they're doing... Apparently all those motorcycles didn't make a man out of you... Stay in your own lane... Say and do what you want.I'm gonna look forward to scottie's next video...

      At the rally i realized id listened to the stories of 3 people living on their bikes. Since id recorded all i decided to let them tell the viewers their thoughts and experience on video. But the vid was to long so i simply decided to break it into 3 parts.

    I just missed you in Sturgis
    I found freedom by starting a commune , I’m like a cult leader of sorts but not greedy.
    Agree on the wealth but need to add health.
    I focus on health, purist foods and exersize.
    Made the move 15 years ago, it took balls but the best thing I ever did.
    See you in Daytona !
