Camera man does a great job showing the scenery and you on your bike. I really envy you to be able to ride like you do. Thank you for all your videos! Your fantastic.
Thank you Megan and Michael. I revisited this video as I am headed to Gettysburg Bike Week this year. (2024) Looking forward to riding in the area. As usual, thank you for sharing.
You guy’s always are having fun and inspiring me to get out and go explore! Thanks 🙏 for the great memories shared. I always enjoy the chemistry Btwn you guy’s. Keep the adventures coming
Fantastic video Meg ,as I am from New Zealand and always been interested in the civil war,to have you do a tour around the battle grounds of Gettysburg was wonderful,thanks again and keep up the great work.😎👍
That's great Meg & Cameraman I've did a group ride to Gettysburg and had some great BBQ now I been to Wellsboro but I drove my car I hunted out of the Grandcanon me and a co worker we got a six buck he dropped it at 175 yards he has a place in Tioga & Potters Co off of Historical Route #6 which is a Big Pennsylvania Motorcycle Route I believe it runs into Ohio if I'm not mistaking but y'all will Enjoy the town of Wellsboro I use to be the only African American Male up there from Philadelphia but they always showed me love they love their guns up there 😂😂😂 also their was or is a train that went through the Grandcanon y'all be safe and enjoy have safe travels God Bless 🏍️🤟😎💯
Waited 2 days, but nothing....I mean nothing beats coming home from work, grabbing a cold one and watching Meg's latest video....on my 59th birthday., thanks Meg
Hey Meg very nice ride we need to always remember these major events in history many paid a heavy price! that said killer outfit meg😈Hey C man tuff gig trying to keep up with the she hulk with that bum ankle but on the hole i think you got some awesome behind the scene footage😂well done on the extra handstands🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️ Mr.🍺cheers guys great video🏍😎.
I grew up in Manassas Va as a little boy and was on the battlefield alot. I went to Gettysburg as a 9 year old on a field trip and absolutely loved it. I was moved out west soon after and really missed all the civil war history. I love the civil war and wish I could do rides of civil war battlefields.
Loved the video, and love history as well. Just to imagine what was it looked like back then and to think of all the troops and the chaos that was going on. Plus you live so close... amazing !!!! Hope cameramans ankle healed up ok.
Good video have hear about that historical site that was very interesting thanks for the tour and the ride I am like you guys highway is great to get somewhere fast back roads are way more fun to ride I really enjoyed the video thanks and ride safe
Hey Meg.... It's always a pleasure too see you Vlog beautiful..... Hey Hey Hey..... CAMERAMAN is bk!!!! Tell him glad 2 see him bk behind the scenes lol.....
Will do! This was actually the same day as the solo vlog but by the time I recorded the voice over- he had hurt himself. I’m glad he is feeling better too!
Very cool destination for riders to check out. I love historical military sights like that. My dads family were raised in Phili and my aunts husband father in law lived in a house George Washington stayed in during the revolutionary war. :)
We rode to Rolling Thunder in DC few years ago and then stopped at Gettysburg with the bikes and visited most of the sites. Have been to Gettysburg in the car many times and down the car tours. We really enjoy the history there.
AWESOME!! I have been there a couple of times. Everyone should visit- too much history to not be on people's 'bucket list'. If you do not get 'goose bumps' when you stand on the battlefield- you have missed the point of going there.
All the cannons, monuments & battlefields were really cool. The camera view through the handlebars was great 👍 Nice ride through the trees otw back and looked like a very smooth road.
Thank you both again and good to see Your friend Doug go along ,nice motorcycle!!! It’s all very relaxing 😎 to watch .yes great handstands still smiling 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂Can’t help it.Thank you again,nice to see new places for me,look forward for your new video Take care lots love
Meg. 🌹 if you wanted to know why the cannons were blue in color. They were oxidized . But they were also the ( Union 12-pounder Napoleon cannons ). They also had 20 lb. And 30 lb. Cannons that were Black in color.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Your welcome Meg, anytime🌹🌹🌹. I'm a Military Veteran, I like History Now more that I'm old then I did when I was in school. 😎🙏👍👍🇺🇸
The the blue-ish-green cannons are made of bronze and are not painted, they have a smooth boor and shoot a ball, the black ones ore are actually a gun with a rifled barrel a shoot a “bullet” and are very accurate, these are painted black because they are made of cast iron alloy which will rust. Thanks for the ride to and through Gettysburg!👍🏻
Yep, the blue - green color is tarnished bronze. Loved the video. Been to Gettysburg multiple times. Looking forward to the PA Grand Canyon video too. I used to work in Wellsboro. Beautiful little town and the Grand Canyon is a cool place. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations to your Sister on her book publication Meg! Awesome! Thank you for this historic ride and a little hand stand fun as you call it. Loved it! I had thought maybe you would use the top of the cannon for a balance beam when camera man was suggesting it. :) I know you have great balance but when you were on top of that tower......I could not wait until came down. Thanks again for a very nice ride. :)
Hi Megan. I looked it up the cannons turn a greenish blue because of oxidation.thanks for the tour.ive rode through the battfield but not to your extent.that was fun thanks to you 3 amigos. Rich😉
I grew up in York County. I miss the lovely southern PA rolling hills. Also did a 3 week hiking trip through Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon). It’s beautiful and great hiking. Almost steeped on a rattlesnake, ha.
Just took the granddaughter there yesterday...so unfortunately had to cage it, but was still nice...cannons turn blue from the weather, they have a schedule of when they are cleaned and repainted...
Meg, I love to explore and see things when I am riding that I have overlooked before. Yorktown and Williamsburg in Va are both great spots. If you ever decide to explore the Va Beach area let me know and I will point you to some great things to see.The freedom that I feel when I ride is just amazing. You look more and more comfortable on your bike and it is great to see. Keep up the great work and as always ride safe!!
So cool to have life long friends to do these things with. Seem like a tight group. Love Doug's Blackline, been looking for one myself as a second ride. Doug with the bandanna in the beginning of the video I thought was one of your clients you represented that got released and now toting along. I stereotyped, sorry. Anyways cool ride, thanks for sharing!
For planning routes, check out Scenic. You can plan routes in the app, import/export routes from/to GPX files, and you can share routes and search for routes that others have shared within the app. You can also pick a route and have the app provide turn-by-turn guidance too. I've been pretty happy with Scenic, though REVER also looks pretty interesting- might have to try that one too.
your comment on the blue canons : I saw two as you passed by ,they are that color because they made out of bronze not steal ,so they turn that color blueish / green , great ! video I have wanted to go there since I was a kid ,hopefully I will get to .
I'm pretty sure the blue cannons were made of bronze. I like history too, but I'm more sentimental when it comes to stuff from my family. I've got my grandfather's double bit ax that's around 90 years old. I've also go my other grandfather's Winchester model 94 rifle that is even older. "Suck,bang,blow" sounds like a jet engine. Haha
Very nice! The ride to Gettysburg is a nice one. I have done it a few times. Southern Maryland is nice as well to get lost on the country roads. To add comment to some of your other videos, I took the MSF course through Rommel Harley Davidson in Annapolis. I don't ride a Harley but the course and instructor was top notch. There were only 2 of us enrolled in the class to run in Nov of 2019, just before Thanksgiving and they initially cancelled it. They called back within an hour or so and said they would run it for us. Great course, awesome instructor and loads of ride time and personal attention. A Harley may be in my future but right now it is either my restored 1984 Honda VF 700 F Interceptor or the 2013 Honda VFR 1200 F. I had an 84 750 Interceptor back in the day when I was in the Marine Corps. Sold it after leaving active duty and moving here. Fast forward 30 years, I found the 700 up in PA and had to have it. Just recently bought the VFR 1200 and absolutely love that machine. My bro in law and riding buddy rides a Harley. We get along great...no judgments. Anyone on two wheels is family!! Great to see local riders telling their story. I'm in AA County so getting out of suburbia takes a little highway in each direction. It would be cool to roll with you and camerman some time. Ride safe!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney It was a life savor for me as I suffer from stenosis in my neck and the weight of the helmet I almost had to stop riding then right on time they changed the law.
I don't know if anyone answered your question about the blue cannons Meg, so I'll try. The blue ones, are older cannons, and they're made of bronze. The blueish green is oxidation, it's just what happens over time to bronze, if you don't polish it. The black ones, aren't as old, they're made of iron, and they're actually called guns, because they're rifled. The older bronze cannons are smooth bore. I doubt you were losing any sleep over this, but it is interesting to know. I am loving your videos, thanks for sharing
Oh your gonna be jealous. Lol it was 84 today where I was riding in the canyons of SoCal. But nothing as cool as where your riding. I was on Mulholland drive today. Maybe you heard of it. Went to the Rock Store. It was super packed I didn't stay. Lol but I was there.
The blue cannons were actually brass cannon and over time they have oxidized. Brass cannon also shot smooth projectile as they where a smooth boar barrel. The black cannons had riffling which shot different types of bullets like a common day rifle would shoot,
Meg some of the cannons are bluish-green due to being bronze at the time of the battle. And just like the Statue of Liberty, the bronze oxidizes over time, cause it to turn green. Great videos, keep 'em coming!! Ride safe, and keep the shiny side up!! I'll see you at OC bike week in September!!
Hi Meg, I ride up to Gettysburg a few times a year. Will go up for the day during Bikeweek. It's about a 60 mile easy ride .Keep up the good work. I Muriel's Inlet blow out your bike bike at SBB lol !
UK steve .great video as I from England still a cool place to visit Hooe the cameraman is OK.did a great job keeping up with you meg who is super fit lady great handstand 👍👍👍
I may not be a history buff but I can tell you I'm a MEG BUFF, lol Best line I've heard from Cameraman as he was following you up the staircase "It's tight in here" lol Have a great week guys and Cameraman hope your ankle heals quickly!!
some of the best reasons to own a bike is taking it on day trips and finding roads and spots that you would not normally follow. there is so much history in the maryland area. (glen burnie, not withstanding lol)
I was born and raised in central PA and spent my childhood summers (a LONG time ago) in Glen Burnie with my aunt and uncle. My uncle was a Baltimore City Police Officer back then (50’s and 60’s) and I enjoyed many interesting things because of him😉. Had many overnight camp outs out of the back of his big old Chrysler station wagons fishing at Ft. McHenry getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Been to Gettysburg many times growing up on school trips and summer family trips and didn’t really appreciate the importance of it in our history. Thanks Meg for another wonderful video and the recalled memories of my earlier life!
I believe General Pickett’s troops were hit hard there. The fence in your video reminded me of that because he used fences to slow the North which is why the fence is named after him. I always tell my Wife I am full of useless knowledge ‘ The ghosts of the dead soldiers were pushing you and cameraman. You on the handstands and Him with his ankle !
that is the ONE ride I want to do.....I am going to do Saratoga battlefield first, which is the Revolutionary War., and in my back yard, here in Upstate NY....haven't been there since I was a tyke, and don't remember a lot...I may incorporate Fort Orange into the trip, which is in Lake George, NY....next year I want to plan a camping trip to Gettysburg for the Civil War experience.....I have NEVER been there, and have always wanted to...in the worst way.....
🛑🛑 The most “erie area” that I have found at Gettysburg when visiting, is the Dedication Area, when all the surviving soldiers and sitting in attendance in the uniforms together; years after battle. Its an amazing area!!💯
Nice Video nice ride! I got 2 C myself riding on camera once. If police dashcam in court counts. Along with words of wisdom 5 words to avoid hearing Will the defendant please rise.
Some of the cannons are a blueish / green color because they were made out of bronze. The color is the oxidation that occurs over the years being exposed to it's elements.
Meg you need to invest in Custom Dynamic LED signal/running lights for at least the rear of your bike ASAP. In this video the visibility of your bike from the rear seems to be totally inadequate. Of course it could be just the video. I'm sure they are available for your front signals also and they would help both your being seen and your night driving capability. JMO
I have been using the Detecht Motorcycle GPS app. I like the option to plan my route on the computer then it saves it so it can be used in the phone app.
We used to ski at Montage Mountain in Pa. ( I think it is called something else now) when we lived in NJ. We also skied at Big Bear and Jack Frost. I remember when I learned and there is always those people that stand at the bottom of the hill. So I am barreling down the hill with my 275 pounds of muscle (320 when bulking) body and I was a beginner and ran this poor petite woman over ! I thought I killed the poor lady. Good thing she was ok !!!!!!!
Until moving south, we took daytrips to the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland. (Not Ocean City) Such as Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and Oxford. There is a restaurant in Fishing Creek (Hooper's Island) called Old Salty's where the Bay seafood is brought directly from the boats. The roads have turns, the traffic is nearly non-existent and the people I have met were friendly. Southern Maryland has more people and traffic, but NOTHING like the Baltimore-Annapolis-Washington metroplex.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney If you do not already, then take a good brand of Turmeric every day. It may take a few weeks for full effect. One of these days I need to make it to Gettysburg. Thanks for taking us along.
most people don’t realize the size of the battle of Gettysburg. It was absolutely huge it devastated the whole area. Cool video too bad the sun didn’t shine for you guys.
I’m just guessing but I’m thinking that the blue cannons are the north and the gray would be the south. They’re probably pointing in the direction that they would have been during the war but this is all just a guess
At one time one of the licensed guides would take people on motorcycle tours of the battlefield. If you have never taken a tour with one of the guides you are missing out! They have to go through a licensing process that is almost as difficult as passing the bar exam.
Megs, Will you look into coming up to Wildwood NJ, there is Roar to the Shore. Of course last year was a mess. Let us know if you can make it & maybe you can do a meet & greet! You really improved your riding skills & video production!
Do you need a substitute cameraman... or stunt double. 😂 Yes very tight up that staircase 🙃 Glad to see great history, and of course a handstand or two ... Hope the ankle is better soon Cameraman ... kudos to you for your fine work 🤩
Meg I've noticed on a few of your videos that the tail light on your bike seems to be quite dim. Now it could just be the angle or the video quality. Sorry but, now that is come to my attention I just can't seem to "not notice." Love your content and love watching your Journey. Stay safe!
Hello Meg i have been to Gettysburg a few times my self love it! So you are a PA girl? Have you ever heard about thunder in the valley? Amazing video as always thanks for taking us along please keep up the awesome work ❤😘
I have an app.called"waze" you can turn off interstate traveling and it keeps you on state highways. It's a good free app. Don't use it a lot but I like it.
Nice ride through. I have to make it a part of my bike outings. Nice Handstand, bravo!!! Looks like you are dangerous to be around...Watch out Cameraman, I foresee more injuries in your future...LOL!!
@ 7:11 you mentioned that you lost more footage and was curious what might have been the reason. I am looking at getting a Hero 9... but have heard a few creators talking about how it is unreliable and they have lost recordings from it.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I have used SanDisk (Extreme Pro now) for everything from my Canon's , drones, cell phone and other cameras for years and have had great success with them... and in over 16 years, I have never had one of them fail. Side note, I format them every time before a new shoot, not sure if that makes a difference, but I don't like to mount them onto my computer and then back into the device. Not sure if there are any hidden files the computer adds on that messes with the card, so I don't take the chance. For what it is worth.
Megs, That was a great adventure! I like the interaction with Cameraman & Doug. How long a ride was it from your home? Are you going to Harley Davidson open house in York? it is usually in September. Love you!
I don't know, hand stands and "jump on a cannon", a Civil war cannon, place where thousands died..? I would recommend the Flight 93 crash sight for a visit, but please no hand-stands.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I have had trouble all my life finding friends or making friends I thought getting a bike would help but so far nothing yet maybe 1 day never say never
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I know people who ride but they don’t want me to ride with them as I’m a new rider, I ask them if they’d introduce me to riders they ride with & they just tell me no I have I’ve heard about apps & things for other riders, but if I’m riding alone & I see other riders they also never ask me to join so In my mind if they don’t ask I usually don’t I thought motorcycling was this big community But I’ve not found my place in it yet thanks for all your suggestions & replies

The black ones, aren't as old, they're made of iron, and they're actually called guns, because they're rifled. The older bronze cannons are smooth bore. I doubt you were losing any sleep over this, but it is interesting to know. I am loving your videos, thanks for sharing
Oh your gonna be jealous. Lol it was 84 today where I was riding in the canyons of SoCal. But nothing as cool as where your riding. I was on Mulholland drive today. Maybe you heard of it. Went to the Rock Store. It was super packed I didn't stay. Lol but I was there.
I am jealous. Sounds like a fun ride.
The blue cannons were actually brass cannon and over time they have oxidized. Brass cannon also shot smooth projectile as they where a smooth boar barrel. The black cannons had riffling which shot different types of bullets like a common day rifle would shoot,
Thank you for the explanation and for watching!
I could be wrong but I believe that was the bloodiest battle of The Civil War !
I think so.
Meg some of the cannons are bluish-green due to being bronze at the time of the battle. And just like the Statue of Liberty, the bronze oxidizes over time, cause it to turn green. Great videos, keep 'em coming!! Ride safe, and keep the shiny side up!! I'll see you at OC bike week in September!!
If you can work Hiner View state park into your route, look into it. the riding is incredible and it's not far away at all. Enjoy!
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll check it out.
It's spelled Hyner View. As he said, it's a cool state park with a great view. They actually launch hang gliders off of it sometimes.
Hi Meg, I ride up to Gettysburg a few times a year. Will go up for the day during Bikeweek. It's about a 60 mile easy ride .Keep up the good work. I Muriel's Inlet blow out your bike bike at SBB lol !
Maybe we’ll see you at bike week!
UK steve .great video as I from England still a cool place to visit Hooe the cameraman is OK.did a great job keeping up with you meg who is super fit lady great handstand 👍👍👍
Aww thank you! He is doing better now. We appreciate you watching!
Haven’t been there since 1973 as a child on a school trip to Washington DC, looks like I need to make a return trip
Yes! It’s very cool. Lots to see. 🙂
I may not be a history buff but I can tell you I'm a MEG BUFF, lol Best line I've heard from Cameraman as he was following you up the staircase "It's tight in here" lol Have a great week guys and Cameraman hope your ankle heals quickly!!
Aww thank you for your support! We appreciate you watching and are glad you enjoy the content.
some of the best reasons to own a bike is taking it on day trips and finding roads and spots that you would not normally follow.
there is so much history in the maryland area. (glen burnie, not withstanding lol)
Hahaha. Burnie still has its own charm of the court still smelling like cigarettes in 2021. 😜 Thank you for watching.
I was born and raised in central PA and spent my childhood summers (a LONG time ago) in Glen Burnie with my aunt and uncle. My uncle was a Baltimore City Police Officer back then (50’s and 60’s) and I enjoyed many interesting things because of him😉. Had many overnight camp outs out of the back of his big old Chrysler station wagons fishing at Ft. McHenry getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Been to Gettysburg many times growing up on school trips and summer family trips and didn’t really appreciate the importance of it in our history. Thanks Meg for another wonderful video and the recalled memories of my earlier life!
@@p.snyder1769 I’m so glad it brought back good memories. 🙂
I believe General Pickett’s troops were hit hard there. The fence in your video reminded me of that because he used fences to slow the North which is why the fence is named after him. I always tell my Wife I am full of useless knowledge ‘ The ghosts of the dead soldiers were pushing you and cameraman. You on the handstands and Him with his ankle !
Hahaha- they didn’t appreciate us. Thank you for the info and for watching.
that is the ONE ride I want to do.....I am going to do Saratoga battlefield first, which is the Revolutionary War., and in my back yard, here in Upstate NY....haven't been there since I was a tyke, and don't remember a lot...I may incorporate Fort Orange into the trip, which is in Lake George, NY....next year I want to plan a camping trip to Gettysburg for the Civil War experience.....I have NEVER been there, and have always wanted to...in the worst way.....
You should come! Maybe during bike week?
🛑🛑 The most “erie area” that I have found at Gettysburg when visiting, is the Dedication Area, when all the surviving soldiers and sitting in attendance in the uniforms together; years after battle.
Its an amazing area!!💯
I’ll have to check that out next time.
Nice Video nice ride! I got 2 C myself riding on camera once. If police dashcam in court counts. Along with words of wisdom 5 words to avoid hearing Will the defendant please rise.
Hahaha. Always good to avoid those words.
Some of the cannons are a blueish / green color because they were made out of bronze. The color is the oxidation that occurs over the years being exposed to it's elements.
I've been getting used to the Harley-Davidson app, similar to Google maps . I like it.
Interesting. I didn’t know there was one. I’ll check it out.
Another good video. Well done 🤘
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting stuff! 👍Glad you guys figured out Myrtle Beach B/W. Hopefully get to see you there!
Yes! Looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks! 🙂
Great video!!! Really cool day trip 🤗
Aww thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Meg you need to invest in Custom Dynamic LED signal/running lights for at least the rear of your bike ASAP. In this video the visibility of your bike from the rear seems to be totally inadequate. Of course it could be just the video. I'm sure they are available for your front signals also and they would help both your being seen and your night driving capability. JMO
Thank you! Others have said that so I’ll look into it.
I have been using the Detecht Motorcycle GPS app. I like the option to plan my route on the computer then it saves it so it can be used in the phone app.
Great suggestion! Thank you!
Thanks Meg! I’m looking for to riding up there in July for my first Gettysburg Bike Week.
Yes! See you there. 🙂
I really enjoy your videos, thanks for taking the time to make them.
Aww thank you! I appreciate that you take the time to watch.
We used to ski at Montage Mountain in Pa. ( I think it is called something else now) when we lived in NJ. We also skied at Big Bear and Jack Frost. I remember when I learned and there is always those people that stand at the bottom of the hill. So I am barreling down the hill with my 275 pounds of muscle (320 when bulking) body and I was a beginner and ran this poor petite woman over ! I thought I killed the poor lady. Good thing she was ok !!!!!!!
Uh oh- glad it turned out ok. Thanks for sharing.
Camerman , plz leave the stunts to Meg lol
Lol. He can actually do a pretty decent headstand himself. I taught him some basic things when we were kids.
I love Gettysburg, such a beautiful place!
I’m in south Jersey. I’ll have to put Gettysburg on my list. Be a cool day trip.
Go to batso village
Yes! It really would. Very nice scenery and a great ride. Thank you for watching!
@@gfunk63901 that’s one of my regular runs
Great video, thanks for sharing Meg
Thank you for watching!
When you do the ride north to the P.A.canyon go toward Coudersport,Take Route 44 back south it is a awesome ride through the hills.VERY SCENIC!
We rode 44, it was awesome!!
Until moving south, we took daytrips to the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland. (Not Ocean City) Such as Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and Oxford. There is a restaurant in Fishing Creek (Hooper's Island) called Old Salty's where the Bay seafood is brought directly from the boats. The roads have turns, the traffic is nearly non-existent and the people I have met were friendly. Southern Maryland has more people and traffic, but NOTHING like the Baltimore-Annapolis-Washington metroplex.
Some of those are great day trips! Thank you for watching.
I remember being able to do a handstand 45 years ago!!
Hahaha. My body is not what is used to be either- my knees are always in pain. Ugh
@@megsmotorcyclejourney If you do not already, then take a good brand of Turmeric every day. It may take a few weeks for full effect. One of these days I need to make it to Gettysburg. Thanks for taking us along.
We do Gettysburg Bike Week every July, its awesome!. If you havent been try it!
The blue guns are brass. It's oxide.
Ahh thank you! Mystery solved. 🙂
most people don’t realize the size of the battle of Gettysburg.
It was absolutely huge it devastated the whole area.
Cool video too bad the sun didn’t shine for you guys.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching!
Love it, still a kid at heart.
Yes! If not, life is no fun.
The harley app is pretty good. You have to tell it to avoid hyways and it will put you down some really great back roads
I had no idea there was one! Thank you.
I’m just guessing but I’m thinking that the blue cannons are the north and the gray would be the south. They’re probably pointing in the direction that they would have been during the war but this is all just a guess
At one time one of the licensed guides would take people on motorcycle tours of the battlefield. If you have never taken a tour with one of the guides you are missing out! They have to go through a licensing process that is almost as difficult as passing the bar exam.
Wow must be tough because the bar is no joke. Very cool! Thank you for the information
Hey Megs cool run out seen some nice lookin places there ,there is an app we use here don't know if it is in the U.S it's called Calimoto . Cheers : )
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out.
For equipment, have you thought about a dual camera system like a blueseasky b1m?
It’s on the list for later this year.
Megs, Will you look into coming up to Wildwood NJ, there is Roar to the Shore. Of course last year was a mess. Let us know if you can make it & maybe you can do a meet & greet! You really improved your riding skills & video production!
Aww thank you! When is it?
@@megsmotorcyclejourney The Roar the the Shore in Wildwood NJ is usually in early September. Hope you consider it!
Do you need a substitute cameraman... or stunt double. 😂
Yes very tight up that staircase 🙃
Glad to see great history, and of course a handstand or two ...
Hope the ankle is better soon Cameraman ... kudos to you for your fine work 🤩
Hahaha. He is healing nicely- I won’t be needing a substitute. Thank you for watching!
Great video, I like your destination videos. Stay safe!
Thank you! Oddly, they don’t seem to do as well. I prefer them to install videos too. Appreciate you watching!
Meg I've noticed on a few of your videos that the tail light on your bike seems to be quite dim. Now it could just be the angle or the video quality. Sorry but, now that is come to my attention I just can't seem to "not notice."
Love your content and love watching your Journey. Stay safe!
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into it.
Hello Meg i have been to Gettysburg a few times my self love it! So you are a PA girl? Have you ever heard about thunder in the valley? Amazing video as always thanks for taking us along please keep up the awesome work ❤😘
I’m an MD girl who enjoyed PA rides. I have heard about it but haven’t gone there yet.
Pretty cool video and yes so ready for warm weather also been crazy here in upstate NY
Me too! I rode in the snow yesterday.
Thanks Meg love your video never been their some day I will ride from Oklahoma some day.
You should! Thank you for watching.
Weathered brass cannons.
Ahh thank you for the explanation!
I have an app.called"waze" you can turn off interstate traveling and it keeps you on state highways. It's a good free app. Don't use it a lot but I like it.
We use that! It does have some great features.
Nice ride through. I have to make it a part of my bike outings. Nice Handstand, bravo!!! Looks like you are dangerous to be around...Watch out Cameraman, I foresee more injuries in your future...LOL!!
Hahaha. We’ve know each other most of our lives and I haven’t injured him that often. Lol
You should come to the oley antique bike show here in pa. Friday and Saturday.
Bummer- we have to work. I wish we could.
The blue cannon fires cannon ball's. The black one is a gun. So the reason behind that they are different weapons...
LIL 1 ON 1 HISTORY LOL....
Thank you for the lesson! 🙂
@@megsmotorcyclejourney It's all luv Meg.... Np beautiful
This video is so soothing 👏
Hahaha. I hope that’s a good thing! 🙂
@@megsmotorcyclejourney yah, you make interesting videos although they're very simple 👌
@ 7:11 you mentioned that you lost more footage and was curious what might have been the reason. I am looking at getting a Hero 9... but have heard a few creators talking about how it is unreliable and they have lost recordings from it.
I’m 99% sure it was the SD card we used. I don’t have the Hero 9 so that wasn’t the issue. It is so frustrating though. Best of luck!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I have used SanDisk (Extreme Pro now) for everything from my Canon's , drones, cell phone and other cameras for years and have had great success with them... and in over 16 years, I have never had one of them fail. Side note, I format them every time before a new shoot, not sure if that makes a difference, but I don't like to mount them onto my computer and then back into the device. Not sure if there are any hidden files the computer adds on that messes with the card, so I don't take the chance. For what it is worth.
Also one is made of Bronze that's the blue one... The black one is made of steel.....
Ahh, thank you for the clarification!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Np Meg.... It's my pleasure n thank you beautiful....
Megs, That was a great adventure! I like the interaction with Cameraman & Doug. How long a ride was it from your home? Are you going to Harley Davidson open house in York? it is usually in September. Love you!
I’m not sure if I’ll be there. It’s about an hour and 10 mins from my house- only 30 from Cameraman and Doug
Where did you get your riding pants at, the leather ones and these?
The leather ones are from Wilson’s the pleather leggings are from Amazon.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney so then neither have riding protection like reinforcement in the knees or hips. Is that correct?
The Blue cannons are made of Bronze , that have tarnished 🙏😎
I grew up in the area of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.
I don't know, hand stands and "jump on a cannon", a Civil war cannon, place where thousands died..? I would recommend the Flight 93 crash sight for a visit, but please no hand-stands.
We went last year and it was awesome. Sorry if you felt we were disrespectful, that wasn’t the intent.
Harley Davidson has a route planning app also.
Looks like a super cool place to visit. 🤓 Stay safe 💙
It is! Thank you. You as well!
Must be nice to have someone to ride with I wouldn’t know always looking for someone to ride with
I’m fortunate to have such a great network of lifelong friends. I never forget it and try to always let them know how much I appreciate it.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I have had trouble all my life finding friends or making friends I thought getting a bike would help but so far nothing yet maybe 1 day never say never
@@Recycledhooligan have you tried joining local groups of riders?
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I know people who ride but they don’t want me to ride with them as I’m a new rider, I ask them if they’d introduce me to riders they ride with & they just tell me no I have I’ve heard about apps & things for other riders, but if I’m riding alone & I see other riders they also never ask me to join so In my mind if they don’t ask I usually don’t I thought motorcycling was this big community But I’ve not found my place in it yet thanks for all your suggestions & replies
