I love your videos at 72 years old I am too old to ride across America, but I can with you. Been riding since I was 16 and loved it all. Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us all, safe travels. 👍🇬🇧
Tim I can't begin to tell you how happy we were to accommodate you in Rapid City and I thank you SO MUCH for including me and my story in the video. I am in the process of getting Ride #2 together for 2020. Considering a Canadian Rockies tour. Thanks again Tim. Have fun down south!
Thanks for everything Pat! Looking forward to seeing you again on the road somewhere! Safe travels!!
Go for it buddy DON'T STOP LIVING
Just found you last month. I’ve been a rider for 25 years and just want to say your channel has given me a renewed lust for the road. My last epic national park adventure included Rocky Mountains and Mount Rushmore but that was over 20 years ago. I’ve informed my wife and 95 year old mother that they’ll just have to get along without me for a few weeks this summer. I’m heading west again. If you need some excellent roads to try in Michigan let me know. I’ve been on most of them. It’s time to leave the trees behind and head for the mountains! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us all. Your the best!
Hi Bill thanks for the comment. I'll definitely let you know when I get back to the Michigan area, would love some insider tips of good roads there. Cheers
Oh man! who is that gorgeous lass you met up with in Custer? ;) lol! Good laughs! Thanks for the plug. I appreciate you! Ride Happy my friend!!!!
LOL Hey! It was great seeing you out there, hope to run into you again at some point. Happy New Year!
I love that area. Every tunnel on Iron Mountain Road was designed to frame Mount Rushmore. I'm glad you're more relaxed. Deadlines suck. Enjoy your journey.
I like when you meet people and include them in your vlog. Good times!
I rode out to Sturgisi from Miami in 2017 and I do remember the Wall drug signs , funny reminder! I love watching your channel and adventures, keep up the great job!
This is one great video for many reasons, the roads, the narrations, and the people you meet and interacted with. Very nice job
Thank you!
Pat’s story was just published in April edition of the BMW MOA ON magazine. A wonderful, inspiring story. He (and you) are to be congratulated.
Thanks for the ride tim I will check with friends rideon and fatnomad wonderful
Tim you did a great job on this video the storys, South Dakota, Beautiful people, like, Iron, Needle, Spear Fish Canyon Mound Rushmore, Badlands,and more I would love ❤️ to see it all. I am touched about the Cancer Story thank you Tim well done
Great ride Tim. Next adventure 40 X Around on a Vespa. Good luck and looking forward to the next video..
South Dakota, Great faces, Great places!
I live in Deadwood and have been past Wall 100's of times and never stopped there. With your tour of Wall drug I now know I still don't need to stop there. Thanks and ride safe.
I will be doing a cross country journey beginning in August and your channel has helped me figure out the essential "stuff".I've always traveled light but your hacks have been very helpful.
Thanks from a new subscriber. 👍
Really enjoyed that Tim. Random meet up with Cynthia, hook up with Pat and wonderful scenery. Couldn't script it better. All the best to Pat and great to see him getting out and enjoying himself
Love this :) Cynthia is such a fun person lol
I think it’s just my OCD but your mirrors being at different angles are doing my head in. I just want to fix them😂😂😂
Badlands is one of my favorite places to ride.
So pleased to hear the schedule stress has gone and you can now enjoy the journey at a relaxing pace.
The views the memories the story's to tell if we could catch them in a droplet every video i watch from you makes me think what story's you can tell around a camp fire and the memories you have Lovit Tim. I've been to SD twice and Rushmore twice and walldrug was the best very nice video and its a beautiful state
Tim you inspire me to go on a epic road trip. South Dakota is my #1 place to go and just get lost with my friends and our motorcycles.
Maine is beautiful and Acadia National Park Is breath taking! You will have to go eat at Jordan’s Pond restaurant and enjoy the amazing views! Oo and don’t forget to check out Bar Harbor.
Keep up the great videos👍🏼
Another cool video. Thank you for sharing your epic adventure.
Thank you!
Tim, I've ridden across SD from east to west on several occasions and always shocked when riding friends, say, "oh man, that's a long flat boring ride." I want to slap them. There is no color like the blue of South Dakota summer sky. The sense of going from midwestern corn fields to the real prairie is just awesome....Each time I do it I imagine myself as Lewis or Clark seeing it all for the first time. Totally unexpected and like no place else in North America. Love the Black Hills but Sturgis, no thanks, none for me, please.
and an "add on"... wish I had known when we met at Amanda's RMR last year that you were into the rocks.. this retired geologist might have made the conversations more interesting for you... especially in the Bitterroot Mountains.
Cool folks to meet. Love those log bridges! The tunnels were neat too. The rock formations 😳👍 what an awesome area!!
Beautiful scenery with great people. Enjoy the journey....Ride safely.
Hey Tim! That’s my old stomping grounds! Nice to see you feature it here. I grew up in Wall, graduated Wall High School in 1987. I like to get back there when I can. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
That comment about the fudge was hilarious. I am absolutely the same. I Eat it till I feel sick!
That's cool ive always wanted to do a National Parks Tour , already did the Flat tire tour !
Welcome to my area. I love living here. I am glad you had a good time in So Dak.
Hello from Kenya !!Beautiful video.. To more beautiful videos 2020!
Excellent ride, commentary. Thanks.
Thanks Bob!
I passed thru South Dakota in '08 on a cross continent run. So much I missed. Your Badlands footage brought back good memories. Definitely have to see that area again.
Awesome video. Can’t wait to get my adventure bike.
Hey Tim thanks for the warm weather video. Awesome part of our great country. It’s vids like this that get me through this stupid winter. See ya next time and Ride Safe. 👍🏼
I was touring that area on my Yamaha FJR in July 2019...Missed you by a month Tim! We also rode The Black Hills... Iron Mountain Road, Needles Highway, Custer State Park, the Badlands, Spearfish Canyon, Sturgis, Deadwood and Devil's Tower on the way out! My second favorite spot to ride...My favorite: the Cascade National Forest, in Washington state. Safe travels my friend and thanks for posting these awesome Vlogs!!! (Mike J)
The people make S Dacoda great!
22:00 The white van from the casino is following you, hahaha.
Glad this got posted, I couldn't remember the highway with the Mt Rushmore views you told me about. Beautiful ride footage as always. Ride safe my friend.
Except for Wind Cave I visited everywhere you went in this video a week ahead of you, including the back way into the Badlands. You definitely got the better end of the deal without the massive surge of motorcycle traffic from the bike rally! This just proves that I need to come back sometime outside of bike week and do some more exploring.
Tim, I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and your sense of humor! I've been to Wall Drug Store and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates these hokey but funny kind of places. Hope you're somewhere warm for the holidays and wish you a safe and Merry Christmas buddy!
Well I done been there! I rode the Needles Hwy and Iron Mtn. Rd. on my trip last summer, and went to Mt. Rushmore too, although I didn't go to Wall Drug this time (been there a few years ago though). Beautiful scenery and music. Keep it safe!
Nice ride, thanks for sharing.
I was all over there so many years ago Tim remember I told you I’m disabled now I hope I get to ride again someday thanks for the memories again!!!!!!!👌👍🙏💪🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏
Iron Mountain road was a lot of fun they way the road spiraled under itself and through the tunnel. It was my first adventure, on my CB500.
Nice video, great country to travel, hope one day I will
Tim it's great when someone shares the same sentiment over a place. My experience into the Bad Lands echos your comments. The day i spent here will be with me forever. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
One of your best ones yet! As you walk through places and look around - do you wonder what constrains people, what motivates people, where and what they go back to nightly vs your road life and nightly routine? Keep traveling and sharing!!!!
That part of the country is so beautiful. The only thing that keeps me from relocating there is the winters.
Loved this video Tim! I live in Maine and if you have not gone to Acadia National Park yet I would gladly take a couple days and show you around.
Born in North Dakota, raised in Colorado. I still have a lot of family to the north... and a whole lot of South Dakota in the middle. It is one of the top 5 on my list of places to visit. I’ve never been disappointed. The Needles Highway is a kick! I wonder if you got a chance to check out Reptile Gardens... I hope it is still there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Ride safe!
The dirt road headed into the park looked awesome..thanks for sharing!
Tim-Next time you go through the black hills stop at Jewel Cave. It is worth your time. Happy Holidays!!! Ron
Well done video Tim.. thanks for the ride
You did an excellent job with this video. Thank you.
Hello Tim, good to see that you are fine and you have a great time. Once again very varied landscapes.
With this in mind, I wish you a Merry Christmas and above all good health for the coming time. Your video shows that is the most important of all! Greetings from Michael from Germany!
What an amazing area, so many incredible roads, vistas and things I wasn’t aware of other than Mount Rushmore (the picture through the rock cut was amazing). I enjoy your videos very much, and agree with your comments about feeling home on the road, or finding that inner peace that comes from riding. Safe travels and keep inspiring us.
I was out there during the same time and you’re right the thunder storms were the scariest and I have been through a lot of hurricanes... Custer is the best
Thanks Tim. Another great video - cheered me up been weeks since I got out on the bike, too wet and windy in UK
The Badlands....Wow! I really need to make that trip one day soon......Great video man!!!
AWESOME TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!
I sure hope you have thawed out a bit since the ride last week, I have been home couple days and I miss being on the road already (minus the 9 degree weather if course).
I've been on all those roads, have not been to Badlands yet, ride safe ride far,Rand
What an amazing flash back as I had just this year road through South Dakota on my way back from Western Canada . stayed with some amazing people and meet some awesome riders . marry Christmas Tim keep the rubber side down and awesome content rolling
Dang awesome as usual. The landscape and scenery never ceases to impress.
Hey Tim, Beautiful video as usual. Tammy and I are headed out to Sturgis this coming year from North Carolina an plan to ride a big loop through the area. I appreciate some of the insight to the area. Cheers!
Clifton Thompson, I grew up in So. Dak. about 18 miles north and west of Mitchell, So. Dak. home of the Corn Palace. I have now lived in North Carolina for 32 years and this video hurt my heart, because I rode with my dad to the Black Hills and through the Bad Lands many times on motorcycles. From the small town I grew up in, to the Hills was about the same distance as I would travel to the mountains here in N.C. I have just gotten back to riding in the past year and truly want to get back home to ride the wide open roads I grew up on in eastern So. Dak. Have a safe and wonderful time on your trip. I will pray for beautiful riding weather for you. My dad knew a lot of back roads in the Hills because he worked for Homestake Gold mine cutting timbers for the mines when he was a young man in the earl 1940's. I'm done, no more rambling.
Wow Tim, what a cool cool video man - loving all your videos, thanks so much for making them! BTW dude, you look good!!
Hi Tim from New Zealand. This has been a real humdinger and most impressive scenery. Man you travelled awesome territory. Glad you have chilled out as you come across much more relaxed with some added d & m . Quite a spiritual journey especially with the cancer guy. Certainly brings out the value of riding a motorcycle. Have a great Xmas good buddy and may the force be with you.
On my 4 corners tour in 87 on my Suzuki 750 . I went to Rushmore , stood there looked up , turned to the folks next to me and asked " is that all it does" 😄 they said yes , I replied " well I have seen it" got photographs and hit the road .😎😎🍺🍺
Then you missed the point.
Cycle Rider I know the point !!!
Yeah the back way through the bad lands is very cool. I found out about it from a local in Rapid City.
Aww my state my place to be western South Dakota thx for doing a video on amazing SD
Enjoyed video. Great mix of visual and audio, and music really matched. Really like your commentary describing your experiences.
Chin up wheels down.
I sure hope you get (back?) to central Texas one day, I would be honored to share a few miles of road with you.
Enjoy Baja ...
So great:-) I was telling my wife about the tunnel that perfectly frames Mount Rushmore then two minutes later it showed up in your video! Nice! God bless you Tim. Merry Christmas
Love catching up on your older videos. I'll be doing my first moto camping trip next summer on my 1600B in SD. Hey, how was that dirt road? Would it tear up my bagger? Definitely going to visit this are. Thanks Tim
Was there in June 2019. Going back up with friends this summer. Going to take in a few more sights you pointed out. Thanks
beautiful Tim!!! great, really great places!!! think on detouring my trip a little from Boulder to Ann Arbor so I can get to know Rushmore and Badlands, Thanks!
Badlands and Black Hills are awesome - I bailed on the cave - too many people.
Good to show what S.D. can offer a motorcyclist beyond the Black Hills Motorcycle Classic (Sturgis). Of course, that event is why the entire state is so motorcycle friendly. No shortage of things to do is there?
Simple......cool stuff Tim.
Hey Tim great video! It was neat to see all the places my Daughter and I rode when we were out there in 2013. I don't know about you, but I was underwhelmed by Mount Rushmore for some reason. The Badlands were awesome!!
A beautiful video from beginning to end. Nicely done, Kemosabe. I hope that you'll run into a moto camper or two who sleep soundly at night because they are armed. A sidearm can be your best friend inside a tent. Happy trails and Merry Christmas, Tim!
So true must in bear country that is for sure always ready
Another great one.
Hey, Tim! Been to Walls Drug back in the 80s when traveling thru there and been talking about it ever since!! Glad to see it hasn't changed! Want so bad to get back there again!! Loved the Badlands too but was traveling in the opposite direction than you that time. Hope you spent some time in Jackson, Wyoming too?! Great place!
Merry Christmas, Tim.
Those are some great rides👍.
Dang, I was in SD, UT, CO at about the same time on the 8th-16th, I should have been looking for you!
Sorry I missed you there!
Hey dude you gotta check out Acadia national park. It’s located on the Island I live on and it’s very beautiful. Probably way out of your way but worth the trip 👍🏻
Yup right after I posted this I hear you say your on your way up here haha
These were filmed a few months back, but I did make it to Acadia, that video should be out soon. What a beautiful area!
Forty Times Around awesome, I look forward to it. You’re doing a great job my friend keep up the good work, no pressure to put videos out, but I do enjoy them a lot. Thanks
Tim in 2020!!!
Awesome video really want to head out there someday
Tim hey, love your channel. Hey I would love to hear about some of your friends, like Bobs, bikes and problems and likes and dislikes, as part of the equipment reviews that I enjoy. I am planning on retiring in about 2 years and joining the mobile motorcycle crew you talk about and live, I love the idea and hope I can jump in.
great places. Great rockfaces
Huh. Listening to you talking about how great it all is now with the pace being a little easier, I couldn't help but wonder if you've wrecked yourself to the confines of staying put. I mean.. I'm not sure "wrecked" is the right word but.. you know what I mean. ;-)
Oh yes, finally getting my 40x’round fix🤣
Hey man what are you using to record your voice in real time? are you attaching a Go-Pro to your helmet?
Tim, I enjoy your videos, if you don’t mind me asking, where do you get your music choices from? I run a super small channel and usually get my stuff from UA-cam.
I don't mind at all! I use epidemicsound.com good luck 🙂
I thought I would let you know that I ordered a smaller size First Aid Kit and a multi-pac of Wet Wipes from Surviveware. Wow, what a great company. Excellent customer service.
Question: I am a complete newbie and would like to get a helmet cam, probably a GP Hero, and mount it to the chin of my Arai XD4 helmet. I think you used to used to have a similar Arai. What mount did you use for your chin? And how to you get your voice so clear? Is there a separate helmet mic? Sorry for the newbie questions. But this is literally my first time considering such gear and I would hate to get it wrong. I’d love to record stuff to share my touring adventures with my wife who doesn’t ride. I looked at your list of products you use but could really figure out what to purchase. Thanks for your time. I enjoy all the videos. Ride safe.
Thanks Brad! Here are two videos that answer your question: ua-cam.com/video/3ixIma5veCE/v-deo.html and this one is not mine but covers mounting the camera: ua-cam.com/video/VhO_X3nF3GQ/v-deo.html
Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help when I can!
Thank you, Tim. I had missed that earlier video. This is a huge help! Yikes, I never knew there was so much involved. Cheers.
there are wall drug signs all over the country. it was part of their marketing way back when. i live in ohio and there was a sign that read "wall drug, 1300 miles" on the old underwear factory in piqua ohio.
Loved it! ❤️
Thanks Jess!
Tim when you head to mammoth cave nat park in kentucky holler at me im in the area.
William, these videos are a bit delayed so I have already been there unfortunately. I'll have to catch you next time around, would love to meet up with you!
The Brotherhood of bikers ;-)
Fkn love this channel!
Nice
Thanks!
