This deserves to be in television
Expedition 65 and older. JK... very cool and inspiring. :)
Sterling, I can honestly say that I haven't ever looked forward to 'next weeks video' as much as with this series.
Excellent episode. Comment for the algorithm.
Your channel deserves more subscribers & viewers!!👌❤❤ Love from Nagaland, India
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks Sterling. I bought this a few years ago on Vimeo and it’s great to watch it again here!
What an experience this must have been! Can’t wait to see the rest of this series, thank you Sterling!!
Best content on UA-cam right now 👍
Agree
I need this to get me through the rest of this covid winter! Well shot btw
Looks like it's going to be an epic journey, looking forward to watching.
One of the best content here on UA-cam, watching here from Brazil
Ohhh, we're in for a treat, thank you Sterling, can't wait for the next ones!! 👍👍

Loving this expedition looking farward to each and every episode very envious of you guys fantastic thank you for doing this and thanks for the great footage Sterling.
Great first episode and looking forward to settling in to enjoy all of Expedition 65!
Such an awesome undertaking! I can only imagine the logistical planning that went into this expedition. Love this so far!
Awesome Vid! Looking forward to each Episode.
What an epic adventure. Looking forward to more episodes to follow. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
You're a really good filmmaker! And I'm glad you included some of your own voice-over and even a cameo.
Thank you so much!
Very cool! You guys wasted no time getting muddy, I love it! Colombia is one of my favorite countries... Amazing riding, scenery, cities, and some of the warmest people you can hope to encounter. Really looking forward to the rest of the series!
Cheers from Patagonia! 🍻
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for this very nice film!
Great stuff. Some of the best motorcycle content on you tube
Great start, Sterling! Looking forward to the next episodes!
Thanks a bunch!
This was fantastic
It's cool to do such a trip with a bunch of people. Even though it has it's advantages, it also has it downside. Advantages has to do with having the company of others which comes in handle specially in a break down, protection, sharing ideas, and having others to help with the planing.
I am planing a similar trip through Central and South America on my own. Many other female riders have done it before me and I won't be the last one, I am sure. One huge advantage of solo riding is that you go at your own pace and you can change plans and pick the restaurants you want to eat in and the type of food on the fly without having to get the approval of others. It's a long and lonely road trip, which allows you to do some soul searching and connect to your inner self, nature, and God. At least this is what this trip will be for me. A soul search, discovery, growth, trip. All that while connecting with others and learning about their spiritual and native traditions as I travel along.
I would not mind doing the trip with others at the most two other people, as long as they have the same intend for the trip. But too many people it starts taking away from the purpose of what I want.
Couldn't agree with you more! Solo is where its at but I had a great opportunity to be invited on this adventure and tried to realistically portray it as it was.
Great job!
This seems soooo fun!
Reminds me of a geriatric bus tour where all you have to do is show up while someone else handles the details.
You have some experience with that?
@@SterlingNoren Not yet. Maybe in a couple decades.
A very good stuff!
Excellent videography! Looking forward to seeing every installment👍
Much appreciated!
Epic Sterling &Co, this is going to be epic. Really inspiring format, I like it much. Like to listen to the individual experiences. Thanks for taking us along, cheers & happy trails!
Awesome, thank you!
Very interesting
So intrigued !!! Great job with the filming Sterling !
More to come!
Very well done i really like this style of film i wish i was on that 65 ride
Nice, looking good! 💪😁👌
Thanks 👍
Already more interesting than Long Way Up.
Would love to join the next expedition 65
Bienvenidos en pais hermoso para Rodar Viajar Conocer y disfrutar mucho con sus paisajes y rutas de toda clase no olviden visitar el cañon de chicamocha y caño cristales saludos y abrazos
Really good addition to your great channel. Looks like I will have to spring for the “purchased” version on Vimeo as the YT advertising algorithms have become almost intolerable and very disruptive to the creative flow of your production.
Purchased on Vimeo and glad I did. Really get to see Sterling’s craft without the interruptions. Well done!
I really enjoyed the video. I have a question. Was Jim Hyde wearing a red t-shirt with Che Guevara’s picture on the front?
I saw that too. This is where the adventure ended for me. Anyone that thinks Guevara is someone to be honored by wearing a shirt with his likeness, is a fool.
No that was Colin
I just lost all respect for the man.
@@charlesreally8686 That is not good. He should read up on Che. Or if he is informed about Che, he should move to Venezuela to enjoy all that Che fought & killed for.
Jaja no sabía que La Pintada tiene mar.
Sterling is this available on DVD (UK format)
No it is only on DVD in NTSC North America format.
@@SterlingNoren thanks for the reply
Ride Safe
I don’t like Rawhyde’s BMW I’m cooler than everyone else aura (even though they are) but I will watch anything by Sterling Noren!
Can I go on your next trip to South America?
Wonder how far off budget they team was?? $7500 each I am guessing didn't include the Van or shipping bikes back to states.
Here's what too many hands in the pot meet reality. If you find a good company to rent from and then get a sim with data, you can have a great time at 1/4 of the price or more.
White wealthy alpha males get pampered in SA. Sterling, great edit though. You’re filmmaking is incredible.
I love your videos. But I will be frank that if you ride a BMW, make sure you stay on the tarmac. Because only idiots took the huge BMW off road.
Great story, and great story telling.
3:00 - What's the deal with the Che T shirt? Is Colin a socialist? If so, you guys should have spent some time in Venezuela so he could experience socialism first hand.
I saw that too! What in the world?! Why would anyone, especially someone who believes in freedom & right, wear such a thing?! One in four Venezuelans have left that country for reasons. This group did not ride through Venezuela, maybe they should.
@@chipm2544 - I hate to see people romanticizing and idolizing a vicious murderer such as Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Maybe Colin is wearing the Che shirt as a reference to Che taking a motorcycle trip through South America prior to becoming a communist revolutionary, but given the death and human suffering inflicted on the world by communism, it's an oddly inappropriate tribute.
I've made this comment on your solo camping series and I'll say it again here. I really wish you would put a little "outro" at the end of you video so we know when it has ended. I'm watching, I'm getting into it, I'm digging it and am entranced, than BAM!! Like a slap on the head, all of a sudden UA-cam goes into another video. C'mon man. You're being paid to provide a professional project. Put a little outro at the end. Too bad I will probably never get to do something like this, but I really wish I could. Much love the the entire CREW!!
C'mon guys, you paid these poverty-stricken locals a measly $4 a bike for a cleaning...you can do better than that. Pathetic.
We told them we would pay them whatever they asked for and that was the price they set. They seemed very happy when we left. By way of comparison I paid $500 to have my bike with the broken clutch hauled out of the mountains in Peru on a truck that was already going the direction we were headed with an empty cargo bed. They could have done it for free but I gave them $500 which, some would say, I got ripped off. I didn't mind because it solved my problem in a very expedient fashion. Of course, I don't like to always just use money to solve problems,, but in a group scenario with a timeline it was the best course of action. So perhaps some of the locals are overpaid and some underpaid. It all evens out in the end.
A group of hideously rich guys on a fully supported vacation. NOT ADV riding. If you want to see ADV riding, look at some of the women riding solo around the whole planet. Those are adventure riders. And then you have the nerve to rip off people who’s yearly income is what you spend on a pair of boots.
