It took me eight tries to finally make it to Sturgis. First attempt I got as as far as Park City, Utah (from Stockton, CA) when I got a call telling me my younger brother just died from a massive heart attack. Dead-headed back to CA… every time I stopped to refuel people asked “Going to Sturgis?” Uh, I was. My brother just died. Uncomfortable pause… “So what? Come with us and we’ll have a drink on him!” Second time my daughter, SIL, and two grand babies were aboard a United flight bound for Guam where she had volunteered to serve as a doctor for three months. Halfway there the plane caught fire and emergency landed on Midway Island (think WWII!) We flew to Hawaii to hold them…. Third attempt daughter informs me grand baby #3 is due week of Sturgis. 4th year I went to Ireland instead. 5th year I went to Israel & Greece. 6 & 7 were the Covid years. Finally made it in year 8!
Such an amazing ride and you're right the scenery is spectacular. What's even more impressive is how confident rider you've become. You carved through those turns smooth as butter. Well done
This was my favorite video of yours yet! The roads within the rock formations were unique and breathtaking. I never understood the draw of the event for non-cruiser-types until this presentation. Thank you for showing a different side of it.
Watched a lot of Sturgis videos, been waiting for yours. You never disappoint. Thanks
Great video Doodle! Awesome adventure. I like the classy and respectful way you talked about Meg and her channel. LOVE seeing you hitting up more ADV training and test rides. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for taking me along on Needles, Custer, Iron Mtn and the Badlands...the rides I missed last year at Sturgis but really wanted to do! You can’t do Sturgis once and get it all in. Hoping to see you there next year!
Great video Doodle! Brings back a lot of memories😁😎 I even flew a Cessna 172 there in 1992 and saw it all from the air,slept under the wing at Wall SD. Those were great memories too! Glad you had fun! We both did.😎
Finally a good Sturgis video. Not rows and rows of essentially the same motorcycle, but actual stuff to do. Thank you!
Reconsider the low. Most ADVers have way more clearance than they will ever use.
Great video Doodle. Your sound editing is excellent. I'm glad that you had a great time!
Great video with lots of different bits of content. Glad to see you had a great time. It’s a ride on my bucket list for sure.
I was grinning for you the whole time. Thank you very much for the adventure. Cheers, love and light from Alberta Canada.
This is the reason your channel is growing. Your video editing and personality are shining through
Thanks! I enjoy your videos for the factual content, real life fears and how you came out the other side. Keep up the great work ma'am!
Thanks for the super thanks! :D
I have to say this has been one of my favorite videos. Thank u for sharing it with us. What amazing views!!!
Went for a ride today in the cold Sun of Winter before it unexpectedly started raining as I was traveling down the motorway in Wellington , NZ, at 70mph. Still loved every minute of it, because if you get it, you can't get enough. Love these trips of yours, Doodle, and the adventure tours to improve skills. Next time I'm stateside I can't wait to buy another bike to roll through the extraordinarily beautiful roads and parks of the Midwest.
Doodle, that was a beautiful video.
Thanks for showing Sturgis as a fun time for everyone.
The heat in the hair moment early in the video made me laugh.
"How does this happen?!!"
Thanks for letting us ride along through Sturgis and all those beautiful roads and with all your friends too.
Truly, it looked like a blast.
Thank you for the time you put into these vids.
*_What an excellent Ride, Doodle thanks for taking us along._*
Great seeing your video of Sturgis! Glad you had a blast as well!
So cool seeing you do the same route from Denver to Sturgis I did last month for ADV Fest! I’m glad you had a good time at the Rally. Doesn’t looks nearly as intimidating as I thought I’d be!
Fabulous video! Great job! I’ve been once, for the 75th, and I would love to go back before a rally to ride the roads without the crowds. Keep up the fantastic videos!
You sure have come a long way Doodle!! You are awesome!! I hope you know that.
Be safe out there!!
Great video. The quality of your videos is becoming even better.
Excellent content Doodle, very well done, good to see you had a great time. Safe trip back home.
Good job! When you started riding off road you were so nervous and now you are on a big bike, standing up! Way to go.
Wow, great video! Thank you for posting it, Mrs. Doodle. Have an excellent day and stay safe out there!
⤴️⤴️
Doodle another splendid video. Glad you are creating such wonderful content!!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful video, I enjoy them all! And seriously, thank you for being a great example to all riders out there by wearing gear! I’m team ATGATT and seeing you wear gear at Sturgis just made me respect you even more! Much love & safe rides 👊🏻
I WAS VERY TEMPTED TO TAKE IT ALL OFF IN THAT HEAT!! 🥵
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Living on the west coast of Florida, I feel ya about the heat. I recommend a cooling vest underneath a mesh/denier summer jacket. I am ATGATT, and being bathed in sweat during the summer is situation normal. But....gear is there to give us an edge if the worst happens. I went down horrifically 6 years ago, and was not ATGATT. A helmet (good), but not much else for gear. I suffered for that. Now I am truly geared up.
FANTASTIC video and thanks for sharing, Now I want to add sturgis to my list of places to go. Keep up the great work and awesome content
Another great video and lovely content! Loved the scenery! And the food looks delicious too! Cheers!
I went to Sturgis in 2021. This video reinforces why I need to return. This video pumped me up! Love it.
Loved it, happy that you enjoyed.
Loved your video, sharing it on Facebook!!! With your permission of course!!! Catch you next year at Sturgis :)
Another great video Doodle. Some beautiful scenery there. Always wanted to go for the views, but not the crowds. Maybe I will ride up there when the rally is not going on
Bravo, bravo!...it's a great great video! And obvious...but too important to remark that we must stop on the route when we feel tired! Safety first, congratulations!
I’m honestly impressed by your skills. You have improved so much
Just want to say this was a great video you done such a terrific job with this and it is one of the better ones that I have seen about going to the sturgis rally so thank you and Stay Safe out there
Excellent job on the video. I really like how you compiled the story along with the use of the 360 camera. Also we got to see this event from another perspective. Additionally your Voice Over work ties it all together.
Regards,
Scott
Good I'm hoping no body noticed the giant scratch on my 360 lens I only hid some of the time!! 😅
thanks for posting! STURGIS in and of itself has got to be an adventure now add to that seeing all the other you tubers AMAZINZ!
⤴️⤴️
Love seeing a different part of Sturgis. Those roads alone are a great reason to go there.
Will done Carolyn. This is one of my favorite videos from you and I'm not even a Harley type.
You made Sturgis look fun and accessable even to people outside of the leather and loud pipe crowd. The editing and production on this one were the tops!
Wow!!! Such a well put together video!! Loved it!!
Wow! You really leveled up production quality on this one! Great job! 👋🏻👏🏼👋🏾👏
You did good Carolyn, get out of town, great video, thanks so much. Love your enthusiastic test rides. I have a new T120, just excellent
Great video Carolyn... Explains a lot about the draw of Sturgis. Thank you
well done video. I really like the style how you did it.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. We've all seen "Sturgis". You gave the rest of the story. Well done!!!
We drove from Texas to Sturgis on our Harley Tri-Glide. Spent a week there riding both paved and unpaved roads. Really liked the Needles Highway so we rode it in both directions. Great video showing the another side of the Sturgis Rally.
Thanks for the ride Carolyn. A ride I never made and at 65 it's on my bucket list.
Yo, the visuals and story telling were awesome, plus all the cool people you got to meet.
That was a great mini documentary. I was entertained. I learned something. Top notch!
You are right to my wife and I Sturgis about the area snd riding. I see several folks I follow there with you. Great video
As always...wonderful vid. I love that you love riding and love exploring all aspects. Folks like you got me back on bikes after setting them aside for my family yrs. I'm in West Virg and even the interstates are twisties :) I've found kawasaki vulcan 900s to be absolutely awesome. Perfect combination of cruiser, road tripper and excels on mtn rds...low seated with high clearance...lol, that just kinda spilled out. I wanted to thank you for saying you had a melt down and stayed to yourself. As a 63 yr old man I can still relate and yet share it with my daughters. Please keep being Caroline, ur a 🎁
☝️☝️
Love the video - one of the best Sturgis rides videos I have seen recently. Hope the Heritage went well (love my 2021 Heritage). Hoping to travel from Australia to Sturgis next August but will need to start saving instead of spending money on bike parts. 😆😆 Stay safe.
So glad you got to try the Tiger 900. I am super jealous!!! Still enjoying my Trophy though.
Great video Carolyn....Looked so much fun. Be safe!!
Another awesome adventure doodle 🤙🏻
That was a great road trip, Doodle. Looks like it was fun, fun, fun.
I think a motorcycle ride through the Alps would be well worth watching or even joining in.
Thanks.
I love the adventure that you took us on, that is/was awesome.
Ahh bringing back good vibes! New sub here. I made it to the black hills a few weeks before the rally in 2021, unfortunately was on a schedule, next time I'll plan better. But it was some of my favorite riding I've had to date.. I loved Badlands NP!. That was a San Diego to New Hampshire Trip. This summer I'm planning a ride from New Hampshire to St John's Newfoundland, with a few ferries in between!
I like the way how you get love to everything you have there and many bikes or your big Harleys you're the ultimate biker.
Looks amazing there.... and looked like you had an amazing time at Sturgis.... you go Doodz!
Great video! Glad you had a great time!
I love your videos, I sneak back now an then just to check them out. I enjoy that you jump on a big, or bigger motorcycle to get the feel of them. I don't watch too many motorcycle videos as I used to because I got rid of my 2010 Street Glide, a couple of years ago and how I miss it so. I go back to your videos and others to get that feeling that I was getting when I was riding my motorcycle, it motivates me to get another one similar to the one you were looking at, like the Triumph 900 low. Nothing too big that would be great on the roads and off. Thanks for your videos stay safe as you ride, videos like this motivate me to get back out there and ride.
Lived in Fort Meade a mile from Sturgis ages 11 to 14. Loved the back roads on my Yamaha 125cc that I bought from at Hoel's motors in Sturgis when I was 12 (1963). Attended the rally every year I was there. Thank you for brining back the fond memories of that time in my life.
☝️
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love your channel!
Excellent coverage for an amazing bike ♥️
Another awesome Doodle video. Love those roads Sturgis! I'm curious to know how you like the extra visor on your helmet. It's not including in your gear list, but I suspect it's a Arai VAS-V Pro Shade System. Correct?
Thanks Doodle! Great video, awesome scenery, nice people too.
☝️
Thanks-you highlighted many of the places and memories that i have of my visits to Sturgis.
⤴️⤴️
Great video glad to see you riding again be safe
You do such a great job making videos!
Inspiring to say the least.
So many places and never enough time. I am lucky because I get 4 weeks vacation from my job. Trying to decide where to go next year. South Dakota is on my mind.
HUGE FAN Doodle!!! Great videos! Truly an inspiration!!!
Terrific footage, Doodle, and a fine story, also!
Wonderful trip. Thanks. Pukka tea bags too, my fav.
thanks for the content :)
Mahalo for your great footage. Sturgis is still on my bucket list.
Aloha and have a good ride
What a great trip once again. I need to make this trip a priority next year.
Had fun watching this. I've been riding about 2 years, a non-Harley, and I'm considering a trip to Sturgis. Thanks for the video.
Just found you on instagram! You definitely a brave girl. I’ve been in all those situations and sheesh you( we) made it ..watching this video you got me craving for another Sturgis trip 😊
I live in Northern California so it’s only 1400 miles away lol . Thanks for inspiring.. be safe
Looks like an awesome time Doodle! Thanks for taking us along…sorry hubs didn’t get to make it
Good info!Thank you.
Love the content and story telling. Good job
⤴️⤴️
Thanks for this...a great view of Sturgis from a different perspective! Wish we had something like this in Aus...!
☝️
Bravo totally inspirational blessings from New Zealand
I always wondered if Doodles would do a big event like Sturgis. Hope is was fun. Love the videos.
You do biking justice. Love your adventures!!!
You are one awesome girl! So happy I found your videos. Maybe we'll cross paths somewhere sometime. Ride on Sista!
Way to Go Doodle!!!! Hope you had a great trip out in Sturgis!!!! My wife & myself did a trip out that way a few years ago but we had to do it in a rental SUV since we only had 9 days and we're older and the bikes would have beaten us up toooo much. We visited the Badlands, Custer St Park, Sturgis (and all the roads and cities in that area) Devil's Tower, Cody WY, Yellow Stone Natl Park, Bear Tooth Gap, Chief Joseph Hwy back down thru CO and back across to home N of Atlanta. Ride Safe and looking forward to you're next adventure!!!
I like your style.... First I see a video of yours... But I subscribed right away. You have a new follower from France. great work. Looking forward to next vids.
And if you ever want to visit the Pyrénées, one of the most scenic mountains in Europe (between France and Spain) and you like Italian bikes, I have two Moto Guzzi in my garage, one is for you to ride !
Love to ride in and around Rapid City, it truly is some of the greatest roads in a close proximity. It’s a little crowded at times and I usually avoid weeks going into and coming out of the rallies. We were going through ND and on to glacier the week after the rally to the west coast . See you on the road, enjoy and be safe.
I did not know they were the hardest roads to ride. Thank you Greg from Motojitsu for all your videos on riding curved roads. Great video, wish I had meant you all over there.
There really not that bad, if you go in the off peak times. Ride in october or even later and its quite peaceful. One can take more time and see few other vehicles.
I have not been following you for quite a while. No reason. But you got my attention again, this was a great video. Thanks
Positive, energy,…. You give me energy 👍👍
Best doodle vid so far!
I was watching one of your videos on my computer, and then I walked over to my bed to pet my dog and ended up lying down. and one video would end and the next one would start, I probably listened to ten of your videos in a row with all of the commercials. lol. I started riding bikes when I was just a little kid. first on a mini bike, and then I got a Honda 70 trail bike. and I would go out almost everyday and ride on the dirt for hours. when I was 10, 11, 12 , 13, I was probably one of the best kid dirt riders in the world, at least in my mind. but then I moved and I wasn't around dirt, and my dirt bike riding ended. but I have ridden motorcycles my entire life, and that dirt bike riding I did when I was a kid has stayed with me my entire life. and made me a better rider. watching one of your dirt bike videos made me want to try to get on a dirt bike again. even though my body is not the rubber band it used to be. I would just have to ride allot easier but I know I would still love riding on some nice trails. in 1984 I bought the very first Kawasaki Ninja, ( 900 ) I really loved that bike. but now many years later, where I have been living is mostly riding through small streets, so for the last 12 years I have been riding a little scooter around town, and my bigger bike is a Ninja 250. but starting around three years ago I got the itch to ride a big fast bike again like my 900. so I started test riding bikes, I test road the Yamaha MT07 and MTo9, a Ninja 400 and 650, a Z900. a Triumph street triple RS. a speed Twin, a Trident. a Honda 650 and 500, Royal Enfield 650, and recently a Yamaha xsr 900 which I was really close to wanting, but something was holding me back. maybe the fact that where I live it is around 3000 more dollars than in America, all new bikes are more expensive hear, so I started looking for 2nd hand bikes in new condition, and even though I couldn't test ride it I had my eyes out for a 2nd hand Kawasaki Z900RS. because of how much I loved my 1984 Kawasaki 900, but every time I found one it got sold before I was able to get it. then I came across three 2nd hand bikes online all on the same day that were all really sweet bikes with very low KM. or miles. but they were all around a 2 and half our drive from me, each way, one was a 2017 Triumph street triple RS with only 1800km. one was a 2018 BMW s1000R with only 2400 km on it. and a 2019 Ducati 939 Supersport with only 2200 km on it. all three bikes looked like new in the pictures. and I thought for a few days on which one to go for, watching lots of UA-cam videos on each bike, hoping they wouldn't get sold, and the only one I had actually tested was the Triumph which I new I loved, but after allot of videos and thinking. I decided on the Ducati 939 Supersport. and I had it delivered without even seeing it in person. and when it was taken off of the truck. I was like OMG this is such a beautiful machine. it looked like it was right off of the show room floor. and when I got on it for the first time and road it down the street. I was in love. it is such a nice bike. I think there is a good possibility that I will keep it for life. my 64th birthday is in a few days, so it was kind of like buying myself a birthday present, it doesn't mean I wont ever buy another bike. but I don't see myself selling this one. and part of me still wishes I could buy the other two bikes. because I loved all three of them. and if I lived in a house with a garage where I could have them all safe and look at them everyday, I would've been temped to buy all three of them, but I live in a condo, and have to park my bike in the building parking garage, but there is also the possibility that I will also get a dirt bike and try finding some trails somewhere. it will make me feel like a kid again, sorry for the Long comment. happy trails.
Killer share Fam 🤙🏾🔥
Very informative and beautiful background scenes. The bison skit was amazing. thanks DOM!
Crazy bison 🤣
no means no doesn't apply in the animal kingdom 🦬
Good for you for stopping in New Castle because you were too tired to continue! ‘Better safe than Sorry’ is so true! Plus you’ll never know what new adventure awaits you when you change your plans.
Love your videos! Not many videos about Harley’s keep my attention
