    Special shout out to Jim. I love his knowledge of the history around there. People move on, like none of that matters. God bless the man. May he please live long and teach everyone. I am not good with words, just have to say. Thank you for sharing

    Another great video, a shout out to Jim who blew my mind and didn’t skip a beat with all his knowledge. My family and I went from New Jersey to LA in 1959 and ended up on 66 at one point to drive into California. Enjoy all your road-trips keep ‘em coming.🇺🇸👍

      We're going live with Jim himself today (3/3/22) at 4PM PST on our channel to talk some more on Route 66 and all that good stuff, hope to see you there!

    • @2LaneLife

      We know the feeling! With a lot of our long distance rides, we had passed by tons of areas like Kingman without really thinking about it. Now, we're trying to get back to a lot of these towns and spend some time exploring. We've found so many hidden gems along the way.
      That will be an awesome experience to enjoy with your son. Have a great trip! 👍

    Lived here over 50 years and learned a few new things, how cool. My stepdad used to sell cars there for Roy Dunton and I remember the Kimo cafe. Never heard about the ‘boxing ring’. Neat to see they included black bridge, area lots of memories out there. Should’ve got a clip of our old steam engine downtown, cool story about the community pull, getting that in place! Thanks for highlighting our community! Safe traveling guys!

    The dart at the map idea is one I use as well. I have a Wisconsin map on my garage wall that I throw a dart at to decide where to go on the bike when I don’t know where to ride to next.

    • @2LaneLife
      @2LaneLife  2 роки тому

      Agreed, and the more one has experiences like that, the more it makes you want to get out and keep doing it! This trip really changed the way we look at things. Although we've spent plenty of time in towns like this, we usually just eat a meal or spend a little time there then get back on the road without digging a little deeper into what areas like this have to offer. It was a bit of an experiment for us on the video side of things, and it seems like people are really enjoying learning about places like this. We hope that it keeps bringing on inspiration to go visit these areas. There are few things like the open road and the adventures that go along with it.
      Thanks for the support, Ron 👍
