Wow… what a video. This one’s going to take a few to watch. Great start so far. Was an honor meeting you dude. Again happy you made it back in one piece. Still can’t get over your none stop ride to the Airbnb lol. Crazy man.
Great as usual. Thanks Quasi. Respect for the non stop trip up this time. I haven’t done more than 8 hours in the saddle at a single stretch - you’re the man!
Chattanooga is a tough ride. A lot of crazy cagers there. That gas station you stopped in Tennessee is called a Wiegels, pronounced (Ygels). Mike and I have been there several times.
Been dealing with 2 abscess teeth 4 four days. Just now getting some relief as the antibiotics are finally kickin' in so I don't need pain pills. THIS VIDEO was an awesome 3 hours of chill that I needed. THanks, A A ron!
I-66 to I-81 is a GREAT run as you head south toward Harrisonburg, VA. Beautiful country down there. I try to ride down toward Luray, VA when I get enough free time. A Tennessee meetup would be amazing. Straight shot down I-81 for us here in the DMV (DC/MD/VA). Set the cruise at 75mph and steer with the butt. If you'd want any help planning something/leading a group from the North East, I'm game! 😀 - Nate
Yep, I usually ride with a hydration backpack for the longer trips. My favorite one died during the 2023 Cannonball when it fell off the scoot and was intentionally murdered by a guy in a Suburban. I use the Geigerrig RIG 500 pressurized hydration packs ( amzn.to/3X3uX99 ) because they are multi-use... hydration, wash station, water purifier, etc. I need to buy another one soon. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
As a local to where you pulled over an someone who has fixed a flat right there, thats not a great place to pull over. If you had already crossed in to Georgia, you would have been been wrong about the law. Georgia's move over law only applies to emergency vehicles as i understand. Tennessee's move over law does cover you to but its fairly new an the news only ever talks about it covering emergency vehicles. I know more than one cop that has been rear-ended on that short section of I-24 that is in Georgia. It would not have have been surprised if a cop had pulled over to fuss at you. You were about 10 minutes from nickajack dam. You can camp there. Payed camping on the east side, free camping on the west. Tennessee is also pretty good about letting you camp pretty much anywhere. Especially near the river.
The large plant you passed after the Lake Charles bridge is Phillips 66 with Excel Paralubes and Sasol in the back. The plant you passed by Houston - Baytown should be the Chevron/Phillips joint venture. Polyethylene and PAO Synthetic base oils are made there.
Quasi you should come down to South Africa there are some very very nice quiet places to live down the south coast. It's beautiful and the US Dollar has great value
Speaking of paper maps I used to have an atlas way back when I was in my early teens. Also before gps some people were just really good with directions.
Oh yeah... the Rand McNally Road Atlas and AAA maps were great! The last national road atlas I purchased was in 2021 before a cross-country scooter trip. I wanted to have that with me just in case everything else went sideways... Murphy's Law, SHTF, grid down, zombie apocalypse, whatever! 🤣👍 --QM
Off subject since you were mentioning the "power players" so to speak... have you noticed that nowadays there's so many recalls on food pretty frequently? I believe it's more to this than meets the eye...or it might be just me
@@jaycahuenga6416 The substances that pass for "food" these days is pretty appallng. The chemicals, additives, and GMO constituents are purely driven by profit, greed, and evil. There is no logcal reason for "food" to contain so many toxic and carcinogenic compounds unless it's a deliberate act designed to effect a specific action or to suit an agenda. The FDA isn't looking out for public health at all; they are a profit-driven enterprise, so that's a direct conflict of interest. 🤔
The 180 degree wide angle spot mirror is a terrific idea, i just got one for my fj-09. Did you do anything special to mount it or just used the sticker and stick it to your shield? Really enjoying your videos!
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I just used the original adhesive (3M VHB) that came in the mounts. I cleaned the windscreen with alcohol and heated the surfaces with a hair dryer to ensure a good bond. It has been stuck on there for 8 years so far! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Thanks for watching! That's white gravy, made with flour, fat or shortening as a binder (usually beef or bacon fat), milk or creme, water, and spices (like black pepper). If you haven't had it before, the flavor is hard to describe... somewhat salty and creamy at the same time. 😉👍 --QM
That's the RiderScan Blindspot Mirror: amzn.to/3nJjXLp . If that one is out of stock, then there are several knock-offs that are cheaper and seem to work almost as well ( amzn.to/49WKaNu ). You can search Amazon or Ebay for "parabolic blindspot mirror" to find alternatives. This mirror really helps situational awareness in traffic because you can see 180° behind you. There is a learning curve to use it properly because the image is distorted by the mirror's convex shape, but it becomes second nature after a few hours of riding. The convex shape also minimizes sun and headlight glare because it's refracted away (vs. being directly reflected or concentrated). It's very rare for me to be caught off-guard with a cager hiding in my blind spot while I'm riding with one of these mirrors. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
True, true... but I made sure nothing else was on the road with me for those couple of seconds. The helmet cam doesn't show my eyes or point of focus. 😉👍
No sir... it's an open invitation for anyone who wants to attend! You can follow @LifeOfBurch on UA-cam for more details about upcoming meet-up events. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Yep... speeding 85+ mph in a 55 zone with a dangerous load. He stopped to tighten something or check the load, then went speeding by again at 85+ mph. Dangerous cagers everywhere, even on "slow" rural highways. 😒
Bicycle world make boxer type underwear that have gel padding in butt cheek area. Contplating a pair as I'm older and my skinny buttox gets sore quicker.
He's a great guy! His editing style is drastically different from mine. His content with the quick transitions and edits appeals to a different audience... and it's arguably a more popular viewing format on YT.. I prefer the longer and more relaxed video format... stream of consciousness. Unscripted, rolling brain dumps are my method. 🤣👍 --QM
53:00 hey man you come as as antisocial, usually in each video of yours i watch, i think to myself at some point - i wouldn't want to know that guy irl. if you're bothered by something, exit & find a quieter place. it's not their road, it's not yours. it's certainly not your entitled personal changing room. please don't give motorcyclists a bad reputation.
Hey man, that's an unfair judgement from my perspective, He is nothing as you describe, i speak from personal experience and i have personally met countless of others who feel the same way. I have a million and 1 questions for you... most importantly - is your comment intended to be advice or criticism, cause to me you are coming across as antisocial....
Happens more than once. Often complains about something, calls someone else names, then repeats the behavior himself & gives himself a pass. Look out for it, you'll see it quick enough
@honeyforce996 Yet, you keep watching and insisting on leaving negative or derogatory comments? 🤔 If this content and my personality don't appeal to you, then perhaps you shouldn't watch the videos? Why make yourself unhappy and try to convert people to your opinion? Life is all about choices, so maybe you're unhappy with something on your side and projecting your issues? Nobody is forcing you to watch these videos... just change the channel! --QM
Perfect timing sir! First! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for talking freely

3 hour raw ride footage of beautiful rainy scenery and Quasitalk. This is my kind of entertainment right here😂

Really enjoyed this video, Quasi! Glad you made it home safely!
Thanks, Terry! It was a great trip despite the wet weather and my Levi-branded butt cheeks! 🤣👍 --QM
Can confirm that the southern route was pouring rain. It was my only option! Got home safe though. :)
Dude, you need to get a Camelbak for those long rides, especially in Texas heat.

I'd love to visit SA sometime. I've never been to Africa or Australia... two continents that are on my bucket list. 😉👍 --QM
That monday morning when you were packing up in Alabama, I had left kosciusko, ms at 4.30am heading to jackson, tn.
Love the vids, how about a "Tail of the Dragon" or a hungry mother's state park meet up (Back of the Dragon). Lets meet up soon.
Just wish your bike had a windscreen wiper :)
You and me both! 🤣👍 --QM
You are right, Quasi, about certain jeans. I have the same problem with mine and the imprints they leave. Gotta be some better ones some place.
I love Cracker Barrel,the best catfish! But their breakfast isnt good.

@@edwardsp1916 It's also called "MILK GRAVY"
i got two quad locks in the mail today but no way to connect my phone to it. and the other is for my new GPS i hope to buy soon.
talking about maps at the state line i use to have a box in my sleeper full of maps.
