    We camped in Terlingua last year. Did a bit of a tour around Big Bend SP, we never got to see half of what you saw while we were there .So thanks for showing what we missed. The crossing into Mexico where we went was closed. btw When we left Terlingua I blew a tire on my truck, I had to go 80miles each wat for a tire. I didnt want to pull my trailer with a temp spare on the truck.

    As an HD rider and adventurer, I wasn't sure if I would continue enjoying your travels in your new ways, especially without the HD. But I enjoyed watching and listening to the two of you and decided to give you some time to show what you can produce for entertainment. Well, I'm glad I did and I always knew you wouldn't be able to continue the obvious gruelling type of lifestyle. So enjoy yourselves as long as you can. On another note, I think most politicians are Jackases. Very appropriate, especially being kept behind bars!

    You guys are doing it all right. Perfect truck, great choice on the camper and although I am not a fan of BMW these fit your style just fine. Gravel roads are the best for scenic views and you nail it there also. I know it's a lot of work doing these videos but I look forward to Sunday to see what adventure you are into. I also take note of where you ride for our own future vacation trips. I deal with many people who may say "It's not what you ride but that you can still ride"

    Keep the excellent vidoes coming, great work! Good call not leaving the panniers on during your dirt naps. Those aluminum cases are worthless after a good fall. I had them on my first GSA, had a tough get off, that case never sealed again, had to use liners to keep things dry. Eventually they all leaked (I had the top box too). On my second GSA I switched to Caribou Cases, virtually indestructible no matter how hard you fall and they have never leaked!! Getting my third GSA soon and that old pair of Caribou Cases is going on that one too.

    Here is a fun animal mayor for you from the San Francisco Bay Area to. I thought you would enjoy.
    Bosco the Dog Mayor
    Field review by the editors.
    Sunol, California
    Died 1994
    Pet Cemetery.
    Bosco Ramos has been dead since 1994, but Sunol, California still misses their dog mayor. Bosco was elected to that honorary title of the small, unincorporated town in 1981.
    Bosco was a mix of black Labrador and Rottweiler, ostensibly the Stillman family pet, but ultimately a classic town mascot. He would hang out in front of the local bar, mooching treats from friends and visitors. If bar patrons were plastered, Bosco was known to accompany each on a sobering stroll along the railroad tracks.
    Bosco Dog Mayor statue.
    The Dog Mayor statue, unveiled Dec. 19, 2008.
    In 1981, in an election hatched by locals as a joke, Bosco Ramos ran against two human candidates for the mayoral slot, and beat both. He became known as America's first dog mayor. He led the annual Halloween parade, and could often be seen at Sunol events and social gatherings in his formal tuxedo.
    Between official functions, the mayor had "free run of the town," and apparently had a plan to increase his constituency. "He's the father of a lot of little black puppies around Sunol," one local told us.
    The Dog Mayor saw Sunol through the big fire of December 1987, when downtown essentially incinerated. The 125-year old Lyon's Brewery and other buildings were destroyed. As firefighters fought the blaze, Bosco sat out in front on his rug, "looking sad," according to one witness.
    "A Symbol of Democracy and Freedom"
    Bosco dispenses beer.
    Back for another pint at Bosco's Bones and Brew.
    In 1989, Bosco's fame ignited internationally after a Chinese Communist newspaper, the Peoples Daily, proclaimed his election was proof that democratic elections don't work. In the wake of Tianamen Square, Bosco was an invited, high profile participant in a 30-hour pro-democracy rally in front of the Chinese consulate in San Francisco. He was "a symbol of democracy and freedom," said Sunol resident Solveig Shearer.
    Bosco died peacefully in his sleep in 1994; a few days earlier, he'd been driven around town to survey his domain one last time.
    The Dog That Pees Beer
    Though no animal (or human) filled the vacancy, Sunol wasn't ready to forget their leader -- though the town is split on the degree of reverence required. A restaurant calling itself Bosco's Bones and Brew opened in 1999 featuring a specially engineered, Bosco-like stuffed dead dog behind the bar.
    Bosco's.
    The dog pees!
    The bartender lifts the dog's left rear leg to draw a pint of beer. Bosco's Bones & Brew is under new ownership, but the dog is still tapped and sampled daily. When we visited, bartender Michelle coaxed the dead dog into streaming Michelob Dark.
    Bosco the Dog Mayor Statue
    A more loving tribute was unveiled on December 19, 2008, a bronze statue of Bosco next to the post office, under the town clock. Lena Toritch, a Russian artist living in Salt Lake City, was selected by the town to create the sculpture. Her bronze of Bosco features his signature kerchief and lolling tongue, ready for a treat or a good luck rub.

We love what you are showing us of Texas. So much of our perspective has been shaped by the Make Believe World of Hollywood but we can see the "real deal" is far more intriguing and exciting. Thanks for Sharing!

  • @samuroadventure1227
    @samuroadventure1227 2 роки тому +1

    The GS911 to clear or scan codes is the solution for that. I get this massage some time on my 2020 GSA and I use the GS911 to clear the bad code. The bike work ok until you clear it, you don't have to be afraid just ignore it.

    Awesome trip! I will going in a couple of weeks!! Thanks for the foresight.
    My 2019 GS had the same fault.. had it reset twice, the third time BMW told my dealer to replace the fuel pump.. I never experienced any problem with the fuel pump.. dealer/ BMW told me to take bike and ride as normal until pump came in. Two weeks later they replaced pump and no more faults.. just an fyi.
    Thank you Rich & Chris for your great content.

    As others have said, a GS-911 is your friend. Also depending on the error, the bike begins a countdown and will reset the error if the error does not appear again after a certain number of trips.

Do yo leave to keep with some sort of schedule or is it purely just your ready to move on with the thought of returning someday? Curious minds want to know, 😂

If you didn't know about it, check out ZAKAR - Overland Terrain Park and Event Center, owned by Rawhyde Adventures located on 100 acres in heart of the Great Mojave Desert, just 2 hours north of Los Angeles. "Doodle on a Motorcycle", another video blogger posted a video recently about her visit out there. Check it out. And, since you guys are kinda Famous, you might be able to get a cut-rate deal on the Training / Riding if you feature them on your channel. ;-0

    God bless the two of you in Jesus Christ Holy Name! 🙏 you two are an enigma of infinite possibilities!. I would be so very grateful if you could find a way in your heart to join my enigma. I'm putting together a monumental and historical ride unlike any undertaking ever done. "The See the Light motorcycle tour " starting in Texas we'll head for the coast to visit all the Texas lighthouses, then Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, then every lighthouse between there and Maine, then run across to Niagara falls on to the Great then a long hard run to Alaska where we'll have to fairy to several lighthouses then Washington state heading south to Oregon and all points south till hitting the California Mexico border where we'll have a great celebration! I've gained the interest of film maker James Cameron. So this is a very real very doable undertaking. So take a moment and decide if you're in or if you're out
