    Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Great footage and soundtrack. Wonderful escape for those of us who are still experiencing late winter weather. Thanks again.

    That was relaxing. Love the beautiful desolation of Arizona. My folks moved to the Prescott area in 1976, so I’ve seen a lot of the state on many visits.

    Loved this episode, Angelo... You covered that iconic section of RT66 like no other I have seen. The music at the beginning was perfect. Beautiful weather too! Lovely riding at the best time of the year. Thanks for sharing.

      I got so lucky with the weather. That will change of course- but…. What an insane part of the country… awesome…

    I like the format changeup. This flowed really well from start to finish.

    That gas station is in the Mojave Desert not far from Edwards AFB. My home away from home for 4 years.

    Paused at 2:56 to ask: Is that a pedal steel in the song as you ride in to the rock shop, or is someone doing that with a slide?
    Always makes my morning when I see you've posted up. (I do miss the laugh out loud ride reports on ADV though...)

      What does your wife know?! If she’s like my wife- probably quite a lot. She’s right of course.

      Everybody that lives in the middle of the desert has guns. It’s a necessary tool for the environment.

      Nice road bike. As much as you complain about your smaller bikes in the loose or wet stuff, I think the extra size and weight won’t be fun.
      But I’m of the school that it’s more fun to drive a smaller bike fast than it is to drive a big bike slow. Also my age and injury history makes it stupid for me to try and wrestle with a top heavy, over wight bike.
      IMO… You seemed to point out more scenery and have more commentary on your other bikes….
      Still watching though. Wish you the best!

    After reading what Wikipedia had to say about the phrase tally-ho, I am not sure you are using it at the right time. But your delivery is solid--maybe keep tally-ho, but save it for a different context?

    • @SomeGuyRides

      I read somewhere that it’s a call to the hounds to go after the prey. It almost makes sense… close enough for UA-cam!

    I dunno Ang, kinda miss the random self-convos in the one. I will say the Guzzi fits your vibe, though may take some getting used to NOT hearing from Ass.

    You are doing something I dream of doing how much does the bike cost per day?

    • @SomeGuyRides
      @SomeGuyRides  Рік тому

      It was only $79/day. Cheapest one they offer…

    I think I’m gonna randomly say talyhooo when my wife asks me something. Can you grab some grocery’s this week. Tally hoooo. Can you pick up the dogs from the groomers. Tally hoooo. Did you have a good time fishin today. Tally hooo. Etc. I would look it up on Wikipedia but I don’t want to ruin it. Also. Let’s have a look around that bike. I like ol school vibe bikes. Currently have the RE but also a Harley. I’ve owned a lot of different brands over the years. Dirt. Trials. Street and now adventure. I’m thinking that engine on your rental has been around for a while. 70s? I rarely see one these days. Kinda like finding a warm dinosaur turd. Carry on bud. I like your videos.

      I love the taly ho plan with your wife. She's probably not going to like it much at all. Man I wish that first days footage existed - I have a full on tour of the bike and all that. Right on - thanks for checking out the vids!
