Agh......Good looks, intelligence, poise, social conscience. All in one package ! And then, there was Grace, who did such an amazing job answering Ben's questions 🤙😜 Great podcast guys. Very enjoyable, and probably my fav (from internet riding buddy's) so far 👍👍
How great to meet you Grace. You might also be called "The Grounded Renegade" for your "old soul" wisdom. You sparked my interest (no pics necessary!). Wonderful,warm,witty and wise wideo! Thanks Grace for putting yourself out there, for your sage advice and shared experience. Ben...any boudoir photos in your future? Bare it all...I e. What's behind the beard? Thanks Ben for an inspired interview.
Grace, haters will hate really when it comes down to it! I also think it seems to be North American upbringing to sexualize anything “racy” instead of looking at it as an art form. Kinda like tattoos, they’re not for everyone, but like I’ve told others that don’t like them I’ve said look at them as art and that’s it, which is what they are.
people triggered by those pics might need a mental eval IMHO...I see has an independent ''strong woman''. Smart, attractive, skilled. All the best to Grace, Ben and the Podcast series as I have really been enjoying these.
A family which includes women who have rights, opinions, and independent thoughts of their own that should be listened to, included, and celebrated just like the men.
I am a 72 year old gray bearded motorcycle rider that watches way to much you tube. But I want to reinforce what Grace has said about You Tube creators. Do what you love and be you. You need to know your self and not let other people control you especially the internet trolls. Ben and Grace I love what the two of you are doing. I will be coming to the Giant Loop Ride again this year. If you see a old guy on a Honda CRF300L Rally with a lime green helmet it might be me. Thank you both for what you do.
I was laid off during 2020 pandemic and that time became some of the best days. I was lucky enough to be in a good place financially, so I just rode my motorcycle every single day. I always came home with a smile on my face and a relaxed and happy energy. Riding is my therapy and can appreciate that you two get to do this as part of your daily work. Love your guys attitude and energy. Cheers from Portland!
Thank you, both, for sharing your intelligence, your adventures and your passions. ADV appeals to a different type of rider. I’m proud to be in the same club with such amazing people.
Thanks for this one. I now understand a different side of Grace beyond the tastefully posed underwear shots. I started riding Motorcycles back in the late '70s when it was uncommon for women to ride, especially being out there solo. Fast forward all these years - - - I have found the ADV community very welcoming. I will say it all depends on how the woman presents herself. Dork I have been following you since the beginning and I enjoy your vids, especially the early ones where the newer riders could relate to what you were doing. You have changed from the beginning but you're still well rounded and I look forward to your next vid. Grace, if I see you out in the dirt or at a rally or whatever I hope you are OK when a short, white-haired woman walks up and starts asking all sorts of questions. I'm looking forward to both of you providing so much more excellent content. Keep up the great work.
Saw, the image of Grace, I agree with Ben … but, as a trained photographer, I have to say it was a great image . I would have (probably) made it BnW though … 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I LOVE this channel! You and Grace are great to watch together. The banter never ends. Hilarious! My take on Grace, because I watch her channel, is that she is the real deal. She, In my opinion, is a person that should be admired for her actions alone in the motorcycle world and the outdoors. Here's just a short list: #1 This Lady loves motorcycles and rides better than most guys I ride with. #2 She is out there cleaning up the crap people leave behind in the places that should be pristine places to go camping. #3 Her tomboyish personality and sense of humor is off the chart. In my opinion she can enjoy being the pretty girl she is without any judgement. She deserves respect. To me she is like a breath of fresh air. Great channel! Ride SAFE and BE safe! 🍺🍺
You two are both so down to earth and relatable people. It's awesome to see the positivity you both are putting out in the world. Ben I found your channel in the last year and am loving watching all your videos. You're such an uplifting human being and it's inspirational to see, both in a riding perspective and just in being a person in this f'd up world we live in. I wish nothing but the best to both of you, and fuck the naysayers they don't mean a thing. Also go Murphys! I'm supremely jealous of your story
Love the vid.gotta say I don't know why everyone has to be up in everyone's business.yep u r out there doin what makes ya happy,changing it up.grace,if u wanna look good on a bike,nice lookin photos,do it.Ben: Dont. U guys work well together.thanks.
You two need to do a tastefully racy photo shoot together. Man, that would upset some people.... Kinda the yin and yang of tastefully racy motorcycle shoots....😁
Kudos to Grace in her boudoir photo session. I used to do boudoir photography (film days before digital) and the women wanted and enjoyed the experience. In my opinion, they knew their bodies would change, and they wanted a memento. Then, later in their life they could show these pictures and say something like, "look at me; I look fabulous!!!" Don't pay much attention to those negative comments. It means they have closed minds. If you've got it - flaunt it. (Definition of flaunt: to display proudly and/or show off.) And Grace - you've got it! Please take this as a sincere compliment...
Ah Grace. You have great wisdom, Grasshopper. I’m going to send a link to my daughter in Tokyo. I’m going to try to get her learned up on MC riding when she gets back in the Spring. My first bike was also a shadow, and you had a BMW f700gs? I still have a f650gs, and can’t seem to let go of it, even with the new Transalp redundency. Taking the T to the coast from Salem tomorrow.
Wow, people need to chill lol, look post whatever makes you guys happy(I said, guys, I mean both of you here) don't worry about what anyone says. Grace, ima harp on you a little in A way here, but I don't mean to. Please, for the love of God, be careful if you are taking half naked pictures on your bike... Don't give a flunk about the naked part, but wrecking like that would be catastrophic, so please be safe. And you two never let anyone push you into being anything other than you. It's why we all love you both. As for the "porn" you been posting: I saw that sunrise 8 times the day it was posted kept coming back to me in the random reels and I felt all warm and tingly every time smiles every time would have but was refused all but the first time of liking it...oh wait this isn't the porn? Seemed like it to me 😮 no, I'm kidding, but honestly, don't let the haters get you down. anyhow, I loved learning about who Grace is looking forward to learning more about Ben, too, and all I can say is stay safe, keep 2 down, and roll them round 😊. ❤❤❤ awsome vid. Loved it.
Great interview. I've been recovering from a work injury for the last 6 months. I found you from a Royal Enfield Himalayan video. I bought the green one and it's so fun to ride. The price was right. Now I'm looking at something with a few more squirrels under the seat, and a Pan American HD is now on my radar. My Myrtle Beach dealership bought a bunch and the price is amazing. New 22 leftovers. I see Grace has been on them. I would have loved to hear how she liked them.
Thank you, Ben and Grace, for a great episode, Ben you had some very interesting and thoughtful questions, and Grace what great answers to them, and you are both so right about how to be more welcoming into this thing we call adventure riding or just in life itself, just don't be an arsehole!
That was a really nice interactive video. I'm not sure I can compete with a couple of college English Nerds, but I enjoy listening to a couple of well spoken people. Grace, you have actually gotten me to look into Bend in terms of retirement relocation.
Hi Ben & Grace. I want to thank you both for your honesty. I am always learning from you both and I respect and appreciate that. Please, be safe and take care. Aaaa, thank you…
Well I have to admit I watch your channel Ben and really enjoy your content. I have not been watching your podcast but I did this one and found it very interesting. Grace is obviously an intelligent, well spoken and interesting person. Appears to be a good and kind person as well. Thanks for the great podcast and keep up the good work. Wishing you both the best.
Great video. All those haters who are male need to unbunch their panties and simply need to appreciate the female form, which by the way can handle a big bike and navigate it throughout the world.
Great podcast, guys! Grace, i find your unique perspective in life refreshing. It is very much needed in a mostly male motorcycling niche. Best of luck in all you do. Oh, and 🔥 in a good way 😊
You go girl!!!………Any guys, or gals, who criticize your boudoir photography are just being stupid. What they should be doing is taking a look at their own character and values. ……..You are very attractive and have a unique genuine personality that makes it obvious you are caring about the people and world around you. That you are striving to savor every moment of life. Keep being who you are, and doing what makes you happy. ……..Live wild! Ride free!
Stay humble is all I will say. No one should be put on a "pedestal" except for the ones who gave you life. I appreciate and enjoy the content you both create but in my book you're just the same as anyone else. Human
Just do what makes you happy and does not hurt others. And ignore all the shit talking haters. And women who wear little or no makeup are the most beautiful creatures in the world!
To each his or her own. I am not interested in seeing that kind of stuff so I don't follow Grace. That's my choice and everyone needs to walk their own line.
Thank you both, especially Grace for opening up on her career. Loved the Emmy winning Film footage with Alex, thank you for that. Great work, looking forward to the future videos. Love the logo you guys have for the podcast/ video
First off, I respect what the Tubers do that I watch. However, I cant but notice that many of the female YT'ers use their sexuality quite often now, even if it is irrelevant to their content. If their male counterparts did this, they would be raked over the coals lol. Just saying😉
On the contrary, attractive men do it all the time, it just isn’t viewed as “sexuality” for them whereas it is for women. I see plenty of guys with great bodies taking shirts off after an MX ride or doing workout videos or jumping in a body of water etc, but the minute someone sees me in a sports bra or a bikini, I’m sexualizing my content. Pretty sure my content is already sexualized because I’m an attractive female in a predominantly male sport. But im not going to feel bad and neither should any other woman for being proud of her body enough to show it off sometimes or at least not be worrying that a man is going to take it personal that I have less clothing on than he might approve of.
Valid points Grace. I am just saying what I have noticed over the years on YT. I was not signaling you out by any means. No disrespect intended . @@thegracefulrenegade
@@marcmonreal-s2j I gotcha dude. Trust me, I see it too, it’s just a matter of perspective. There’s just a double standard with female creators than male creators don’t have to deal with, and I try and shed light on it when I can
How do people think that someone cannot have multiple interests, skills, or goals at the same time? Specialization is for insects.
LOL because 98% of the world is ignorant. LOL

Hey!!! I was born in Bend!!
So was my brother!
Let's not poison the ADV community with Feminism. ADV riders are a family.
A family which includes women who have rights, opinions, and independent thoughts of their own that should be listened to, included, and celebrated just like the men.
Click bait title... It worked 🤣
Click bait means the subject of the title isn't in the video. It is so not click bait.
The racefull rengade?
You voice seems to have dropped a couple of octaves, 😅.
I am a 72 year old gray bearded motorcycle rider that watches way to much you tube. But I want to reinforce what Grace has said about You Tube creators. Do what you love and be you.

Next episode by Grace:" Who is Ben and did you already visit his OnlyFans - account ?" 😅
I was laid off during 2020 pandemic and that time became some of the best days. I was lucky enough to be in a good place financially, so I just rode my motorcycle every single day.

Hey, Grace is a pretty gal…who cares what she does when she’s not on the bike? 🤷♂️ She can do whatever she wants!
Really great episode guys! Nice job and F the haters
You guys are both doing a lot to drop the barriers for people wanting to get involved! Love you guys!❤

For the record, Grace was my celebrity crush wayyyy before the tastefully racy photo shoot.
Thanks dude I appreciate ur
16:03 a couple of documentaries, another Emmy?? The trash thing is nationwide, unfortunately. People just suck when it comes to trash….
Saw, the image of Grace, I agree with Ben … but, as a trained photographer, I have to say it was a great image . I would have (probably) made it BnW though … 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great episode! Grace is such a rad human!! You’re pretty decent too Ben 😂

Ride SAFE and BE safe! 🍺🍺
Thank you so much
Live wild, ride free, be excellent to each other and be tastefully racy! The tagline just keeps getting better! 😂😂
30:29 great advice!! Social Media should never be a goal for young folks!!! (Or even us older people)
You two are both so down to earth and relatable people. It's awesome to see the positivity you both are putting out in the world.

You do you. Ignore the haters. Embrace the supporters. Be great. Do good.
Thank you for sharing.
I’m a big fan of “minding your own fucking business.” Sometimes, your opinion just doesn’t matter.
If I were Grace. I would put my Emmy somewhere in my UA-cam vids as a Easter egg and see how many people see it lol 😅 😂
So good to learn a little about the creators, can't wait for next week when Ben is on the hotseat.
Love the vid.gotta say I don't know why everyone has to be up in everyone's business.yep u r out there doin what makes ya happy,changing it up.grace,if u wanna look good on a bike,nice lookin photos,do it.Ben: Dont. U guys work well together.thanks.

That is not to disrespect Ben at all. 50:18
While I have not seen the racy content described, I absolutely appreciate you expressing the beauty of your God-given gender. You too Ben.
Just wait. The 'Dirty DitR' calendar is coming soon.
To even the field, Ben needs to do a Boudoir photo shoot. lol
I couldn’t agree more
Stay humble is all I will say. No one should be put on a "pedestal" except for the ones who gave you life.
I appreciate and enjoy the content you both create but in my book you're just the same as anyone else. Human
You guys are awesome! Great interview🏍☃️❄️
Good interview Ben. Really good impromptu answers from Grace. Thanks to both of you!
Who is Emma? And so whut? Huh, a whaa....
Just do what makes you happy and does not hurt others. And ignore all the shit talking haters.
And women who wear little or no makeup are the most beautiful creatures in the world!
Cool. I got to say hello to Grace at the PLSBend fundraiser. sorry to hear about he haters, so lame.
Need to have Ben in a photo Shoot. Maybe the Dork Motorcycle Calendar.??? NOT!
Have you done a video of your man cave there? I see a Pac Man machine. Do you have Dig Dug too? That was my favorite.
Dig Dug is on the Pac Man machine ;)
Splendiferously-one of my fav all time words! Had a co worker who stated that it is not even a real word!😂

Inspiring stuff, brilliant. Now off to find the pics 😊😊😊
my go to commit on my friends post is "loving the confidence"
Great podcast!
I'm sorry yall, but i cant listen to this. there is so much elaborating and small chat. I cant wait to hear the point of the story. I literally can't.
Tons of positive comments above you. It's not for everyone. It's okay to just not watch.
I'm a huge fan of her ink
