I’m leaving central California July 30 to ride to Sturgis 3rd year in a row with no plans or reservations again just a tent and a telescopic fishing pole 🎣
The most beautiful statue you will ever see, Dignity, is about 4 hrs east of Sturgis in Chamberlain! You have to visit there! The first time I stopped to take a photo, I sensed a young woman walking past helping her elderly grandmother walk towards the statue. She shook with emotion, allowing me in a small way to experience its deep meaning to native american women!
Oh my gosh that makes me wanna cry! I would literally stopped dead in the middle of traffic to make sure that my grandmother could safely get from point A to point B. I miss her every single day.
@@HerTwoWheels Last year we lost our youngest daughter, so I very much know how you feel. when you ride out to Sturgis most likely you will go through Chamberlain. Dignity will take your breath.
Hi Jess, This is April from Grassy Mountain Motorsports in Chatsworth Georgia. We will be working with MICRODOT helmets at Black Hills Harley Davidson in Rapid City SD for Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2022. We will be setting up on August 3rd. We hope to see you there. We are big fans of Her Two Wheels. We would love to get a picture with you at the event.
Thanks so much for sharing this. At 70 & 80 years old I don't think us Cali-Kids are going to make the trip! I've been there as a little kid in the early 50's but only remember losing our Irish setter for a while, in the parking lot. Everything else is from slides that my dad took. Thanks again!!!!
I'm 51. I remember a TV show from the late 70's early 80's called Real People. It was on Sunday night's if I remember correctly. There was an episode about Sturgis. I'm thinking it was about 1980. It was about a little old Grandma who would spend the entire 2 weeks going into bars at night and telling bikers about Jesus. Keep in mind, at this point in Sturgis' history it was a lot of Hells Angels, Mongols, Bandidos and other 1% clubs. Independent guy and gals. Really a pretty rowdy scene as far as drinking, drugging and generally running amok for 2 weeks straight. I'll never forget that footage of that little old lady surrounded by about 10 people, some guys are the typical 6' 6" beer belly and tatoo's from the waist up to their necks. Standing there weeping in front of the whole bar as this lady told them about the gospel of His love for a soul. Keep in mind as well, these people (bikers) do not take kindly to disrespecting or being unkind to a woman. Especially one old enough to be the mom of every guy that started the Hells Angels. You just let her speak her peace with respect. A man I suspect would not have been given that much leeway in that crowd. She was fearless, but you knew she really cared about these bikers and was never condemning in any way. Just kind and loving. I'll never forget that footage. To be honest, I think I only saw it that one time. I'm gonna go see if I can find it lol. Enjoy your riding Jess.
Awesome job with the video. The scenery is stunning. Going to Sturgis way before the rally was a great idea. You don't have to deal with 55 million bikers when seeing the sights.
Loved hearing the excitement in your voice when you saw Mt Rushmore for the first time. I love visiting there and try to do so whenever I can go to Sturgis
AWESOME is the only word to describe that area. I've been there and fell in love with the Black Hills. Thank you for taking me back Jess. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
You wont believe how different the actual Rally is compared to what you are seeing now. it's totally unbelievable! Will be my 34th year in a row attending. Hope to get to say hi to ya up there this year! Enjoy!!
Good For you,,Jess,,my first time in Sturgis was in 1967",,will be back in 3 days,, have only missed, 5 times in the years,,,love the hills,,,you will like Spearfish Canyon,a lot..,,🌲🌲🌲✌️😎
I have been to Sturgis twice and I never get tired of going. There are always new things to see and do. I can't go this year because of work. I would advise you to enjoy every minute of your time there. I hope I get you meet some time. I think you are a bad ass and you have my respects. Soon I will be able to support you financially. But till then I'm giving you the thumbs up and i will comment and share.
That was a great video! I definitely have to get out there. I enjoyed the views and the different perspective of Mt. Rushmore. I’d love to rip up some of the off-road routes on that PanAmerica!
Hi jess, I just paid for my wrist band for the Buffalo Chip for Sturgis 2023! Unexpectedly was looking at going to Laconia but through a friends invite I am headed to Sturgis instead so now I have to go back through and rewatch your Sturgis vids with a whole new mindset as I never thought I would make it out there.
Just breathtaking, I personally have never been to Sturgis, always was one of the things to do on my bucket list, maybe before I leave this world, one day I will get over to Sturgis. ENJOY!!!
H2W - Thanks for taking us on this amazing and beautiful journey. I've been there (by car - so for) and it was beautiful scenery and country. I Will Go Again...on my Bike!!!!
Hello Jess. be infor some great riding out there its cool to go before the rally so you can enjoy the sites and great roads thanks for sharing stay safe
loved this video. my husband and i went to Mt. Rushmore in 2005 in a car. i'm jealous that we have never gone out west on our bikes. but the first comment i made about seeing Mt. Rushmore in person was "it's smaller than i thought it was going to be" - lol. but beautiful. glad you're having a great time.
Loved your video. My wife and I just completed a 12000km trip. We went from Ontario Canada west to ice fields of British Columbia. Then south to Sturgis. Then back to Ontario. All on my 2020 RGS 23 days on the road as retiree’s. watch your videos all the time.
I just want to say that what you showed here barely scratches the surface of all the amazing places to see in the US. There is so much more to see. That is what gets so many of us sucked into traveling around the states.
Jess Thank You for your excitement it makes the viewing and the ride even more spectacular. And thanks to your guide Matt for taking you to all the great places.
I've been in the market for a new touring bike. I never considered the Pan America or any ADV until I saw this video a couple of weeks ago. Now, it's on a very short list of motorcycles I am considering. Thank you!
Wow! What a stunning location! (I’ve done the Drakensburg mountains in SA and really beautiful Western Scotland in my own homeland). This is up there with those! Live long and prosper young lady 🙏
On my greatest thrills was seen Mount Rushmore from a helicopter. We flew up close around the side and over the top and it was amazing to see. Hope you have a great time enjoy your self and ride carefully.
IM SO EXCITED!! videos like this is getting me pumped for the trip. Riding out to sturgis from Cincinnati Ohio the day after my birthday. Hopefully I can see all of these things. First time goin
What an adventure! I've been "ehh" on wanting to see Sturgis just because I'm not the biggest fan of large crowds. I think this video has changed my mind about riding out there (I live in PA). Some beautiful roads and scenery! Thanks for sharing!
The good news is Sturgis is a city! Not just a rally lol! I highly recommend you get out there even if it’s not during the big rally! These roads changed my life!
I know lots of people go out there not during the rally just for that reason. I want to go to the rally but I also want to go on some random week also. Seems like the riding and restaurant experience would be better without so many people there.
@@csolivais1979 I know guys who spend two weeks to a month in Sturgis before the rally to really get to learn the sights before the crowds show up. The same as spending a month or more in Florida to hit Bike Week, Leesburg Bike Fest and events around Tampa. Nice to be retired with money. Wish I knew how that felt.
Awesome footage. My wife and I visited 3 years ago, loved it so much we bought a cabin there and picked up a few bikes. You've definitely captured the essence and beauty of the hills very well.
USA has got so many beautiful riding places , it's endless . California, Sierra's , Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado , Arizona.... just some of the best in the world . I don't think any one country could match the miles upon miles of all the riding we have . Boy , I did a awesome burnout in one of those tunnels where a bus can go through.
Cool video Great riding very well done. Thanks for taking us along. Got one for you and Jordan check out cpat cross pa adventure trails. Spent last week on them .would be a good place to start. Stay cool cheers to ya.
My goodness it's BEAUTIFUL there! Your reaction with the lighting on George Washington's face was hysterical. 😂 Everything about this video makes me want to go to SD even more. Hoping for next year! Glad you had such a great time.
This route is so beautiful.. I guess the best camera angles too... So beautifully edited .. I guess the best motovlog from your channel so far .... Loved it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love and respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏻🇮🇳🙏🏻🇮🇳🙏🏻🙏🏻
The first time I went was in June 2020. It was such a great week riding with like you said 500,000 bikes on the road. I got to see more and stop more. I have over 1,000 photos from that week. Iron Mountain Road and Needles Highway were my favorite
Congratulations on your first trip to the Black Hills of SD, we went 16 years in a row but then missed the last 3 years but are headed back there this year on August 1st, my wife and I always stay at the Mount Rushmore KOA just 5 miles past MT Rushmore. Hope we can catch you out there and I love watching your channel.
Thanks alot for the great content. Such amazing scenery and locations and thanks for sharing that with us. I'll have to pur that on my bucket list. Just a quick question. How do u like the insta 360 cameras? I'd like to start filming my rides and I've seen u have them so I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on them :) Thanks a million and keep up the great work and drive safe.
You are such a Bad Ass. You sound like a little girl having fun. You can tell you are having fun. I felt the same way, but I was crying because I have always wanted to go to Sturgis. When I finally got to go. It was a something I could check Sturgis off my bucket list. I can't wait to go back. I love your video. I can't wait for your next one.
I loved the setting change you did from over exposed to better to bring out the sign in the intro. Simple, but cool effect. Very smart to ride the fun roads in the area before the big rally. Cuz it'll be a cluster fuck then for sure! Good to see you did some dirt! I don't care that it looked easy. You can go some really cool places without having to do expert routes. Better for the blood pressure, too. And hey, for those that want the challenge, go for it. There's riding for everyone here in America. And that's the trick to surviving on the road, Jess. - knowing that they're going to pull in front of you. Look ahead and think from their perspective. It is the P in SIPDE, after all (Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute). Yeah, it's a crappy acronym, but I didn't invent it. Mt. Rushmore is cool. I loved that eating in the cafeteria was like having lunch with the presidents cuz of that huge window. It was surreal. I felt robbed that my National Parks Pass didn't work there and they wanted $20 PLUS parking. I've only been there once, on my Road King. I wasn't even riding ADV back then, so I didn't even think to look to see what ADV there is in the area. I hope you got a chance to see the Crazy Horse monument. I saw the night show, which was really cool. I think they might finish it by the time I'm 160. Funding is a problem. It's a lot of work, more than Rushmore due to the size. That makes for slow progress. Threading the needle is fun. Kinda hard to stand up on my Road King with the forward foot pegs. You're arms are way too tight and you're doing a stomach crunch the entire time. But I told you that riding the Black Hills was really gonna float your boat. I like that you didn't put music over some of the parts. Nice touch. There you go being all artsy fartsy and shit and wowing us with your creativity. One thing I learned as a musician is that it doesn't only matter what you play, but also when you don't. Your honor, the alleged needles allegedly brightened my day. Thanks for the vid. See ya Monday!
Jess, I have been to Sturgis a couple times myself and I never get tired of the place and all the great riding ! You should check out Ft. Hayes from the Dances With Wolfs Movie and Deadwood. I love that part of the country and the scenery. Have fun and travel safe.... You will see a total different side of Sturgis during Rally time then you do now its just amazing all the fun you can have !

Oh that was so awesome!!! How beautiful! I love your videos...so helpful, informative & always upbeat. Thank you!
That scenery though!!
Hi. I am one of your followers. This is one of your most beautiful videos, especially mountain views. Oh my God ! Thanks for sharing.👏🕳💯
I did a lot of those rides last year 2 weeks after the rally. This year I’m riding to the rally for the first time! Excited!

Nothing like the wide-open roads and canyons of Sturgis. What an opportunity to tour before the crowds. Ride free 🇺🇸🐾🍻 can't wait to go back

The area is so gorgeous! So jealous! I wanna go back and ride again Neddles, 16A, spearfish canyon, deadwood… so awesome!!! Glad you enjoyed! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
The black hills are a combo of granite and sedimentary rock. So as the weather wears away the softer rock you’re left with the harder granite needles.

Jess, I have been to Sturgis a couple times myself and I never get tired of the place and all the great riding ! You should check out Ft. Hayes from the Dances With Wolfs Movie and Deadwood. I love that part of the country and the scenery. Have fun and travel safe.... You will see a total different side of Sturgis during Rally time then you do now its just amazing all the fun you can have !
WoW beautiful 🥰 can't wait for out there
