Brother this was a awesome video here. You couldn't have done a better job. The narration to the footage the people and the brotherhood that we all share... Yeah I subscribed too. May the lord continue to bless you in all your travels. Nothing but Love and respect coming from the Retired Outlaw of Ga.
As I watch your video, I am looking forward to a 9 week 10k miles bike trip through northwest US and Canadian Rockies. However, I am currently being treated for cancer. Lord willing, I will be cured and on the trip this summer. Thank you for the inspiration one rider to another.
You're a champ! That sounds like an amazing 9 week journey. The positive mind can be the best medicine your body needs. I wish you a fast recovery and nothing but the best in 2024.

Open your heart to the kindness and support of others on your journey. Connect with fellow riders, share stories, and find inspiration in their journeys. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu. Remember, this trip, like your fight against cancer, is one step at a time. Celebrate every conquered mile and cherish the journey itself.
I'm taking my first motorcycle cross country from Texas to Banf and to the east. I've done two cross countries in a car before but now at 37 and single I'm making choices I wouldn't have in the past. This documentary helped light a fire to what I might discover on the road. Thank you
The touring motorcycle lifestyle was very new to me. Most of my friends and family members told me that my decision to ride a motorcycle at age 64 was reckless and dangerous. But I did anyway and bought a Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special. What I discovered was shocking and amazing. There is absolutely nothing like riding a touring motorcycle. The freedom, beautiful sceneries, exciting ventures, the sounds and smells, the feeling of flying on the highway, the therapeutic benefits, and most importantly the incredible people you meet in the motorcycling family; all part of this wonderful experience. Do yourself a lifelong favor. Ride a touring motorcycle just once.
That is why I bought my 1994 Electra Glide all original with 125K miles on it. She has had more touring miles than I have, but I will ride her until I die.
Im 62 and just started riding. 2004 h.softail . I just can't stop riding. It's very relaxing n stress eliminator. All anxieties at my age and etc just vanishes . Sightseeing smelling the countryside and stopping for coffee or a coke ...nothing better. A kick the bucket list.
I am 83 years old, and ride a 99 Softail Custom. I do not do long rides any more, but ride around the back roads where I live. I started riding on a 1942 "45" flat head, when I was 14 in 1955. I rode an Iron head Sportster for 23 years. Had a few other bikes in between. But the one I have now is just like sitting in my recliner. The stock 99 Softail Custom is the most comfortable of all the bikes I have ever ridden. I have a bad back, but I never worry about the EVO getting me home. I still enjoy getting out during the summer in the cool of the morning for an hour or so. In the winter I wait till it warms up a bit. When I come home my wife of 65 years knows I will be happy.
My Brother, you experienced, produced and shared your own Netflix documentary. In all seriousness, this is it! The journey, the inspiration, the motivation and the tears of joy are all here. As a pastor about to semi-retire ( they won’t let me go fully) I want to trade-in my Vulcan 1600 for an HD (I’ve always wanted one) and cover some miles as I exhale from doing so much, for so many, for so long-my heart, mind and body needs an extended break. One way or another, motorcycle or car, I must see those redwoods. …maybe UA-cam will change again (soon) so your channel will have more than 100k subs…you deserve it. P.s., how many sets of tires have you put on your RG. Peace on your journey of life.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this nice comment. I've gone through 4 sets of tires in the 60k miles I've got on this RG. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
I can’t understand why this masterpiece has only 200k views? Dear youtube algorithm, please spread this video as it deserves. Awesome job, just astonishing!
Awe man! Thank you. I really appreciate this comment. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle and with anyone else you think might enjoy it. Be safe.
This is probably the best motorcycle documentary that I watched until now. Very grateful for your work . Yes it’s a masterpiece and you deserve an Oscar award. You thought of everything, camera angles, storytelling, soundtrack, was really great . Not mentioning the editing hours of footage! ❤ thanks 🙏
Dude, you captured on film what every biker feels when they are out riding. No matter the bike, the location, the gender or race, when we are out there riding with friends (and God) it truly transcends everything else. Great job keep up the awesome work.
This! I just ride trails and woods with an off-road only dirt bike and just getting by myself is very relaxing and cathartic. Focused throttle therapy is a lot like focused trigger therapy; both transcend video and audio on the right days.
I am so glad I found this channel. Im 39, only been riding 2 years, but this is the life style im after. I need this for my soul. Life is short. You are beyond inspiring.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film and welcome. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle, or with anyone else you think might enjoy it. Be safe out there and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
9.40 " So i often find myself having difficulty explaining what it is explaining riding a motorcycle on the open road on what on these trips, filming these documentaries and the best i can come up with and while riding it really forces you to think about everything and while you think about everything, in turn you think about nothing and all that white noise that you have going on upstairs in your brain it really helps you find some clarity and it truly is remarkable. " This is something i could not express/explain to non riders.. But finally someone said it.. Beautiful.
18 more years to go lol. Motivated to stick through these next enlistments just so I can afford and have the time to travel America just like you and Adam. Such inspirations. Thanks for a wonderful video. Can't believe I haven't seen it until now
Man, it’s 4 AM in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. I was in my bed watching this incredible film of yours. I swear to God, after it was done, I couldn’t sleep, and right now, I’m writing this comment while I’m in my car going to pick up my bike and go for a ride, wishing one day that I come to the US and go on a trip with you.. All respect🫡✨
Hello Abdul…Thank you so much for watching this film. I’m totally honored to hear that this film brought you motivation to get a ride in. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
Did 7500mi last summer, Boston to Grand Canyon, then up through Zion, Bryce, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Beartooth, Big Horn, Sturgis, Deadwood, Devils, Custer, Badlands, and back. I was addicted, now I need therapy, and can't wait to get going this year. I've NEVER experienced riding in snow and ice, and don't know how, or if I'd have the nuts. Headed to Daytona in 3 weeks, and hoping not to find any. LOVED this video, thank you, narration was superb, some familiar sights. Thank you for helping me get through winter. Outstanding
Mr. Anderson: Thank you so much for allowing us to share in these joys you've experienced. Please never stop riding, and allow us to continue partaking in these explorations of ourselves and the world around us. Deepest admiration and appreciations.
Having a film provide motivation and positive thinking might be the best compliment I could ever get. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film.
Not excluding the bike ride, the people you meet. The Cinematography, the story lines, and the explorations. Dude this was an "EPIC" journey and a great inspiration, Thanks 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
As I watched the video it had me recalling all the wonderful trips I have made on motorcycles over my 56 years of riding. Riding with friends, wife, and my brother are all etched in my memory. I haven't ridden in over two years even though there is still a bike in the garage, not sure if I will ever do so again. But the memories are there for ever. Thank you FullthrottleHogg for bringing the trips back to me.
I'm not a Harley guy (even though my last name is Davidson) I ride a BMW but I love Harley people. I've done a few BMW group rides and the vibe is kind of boring. Your doc has me questioning my choice a bit lol. Such a beautiful film....made me feel the way I feel every time I watch Easy Rider and that feeling is FREEDOM
I have owned 15 BMW bikes (1965 though 1990 models), 5 Moto Morinis, 2 Guzzi LeMans, 71 Norton Commando drum braker, and a few others. I, too, did BMW group rides when a 10 year member of the Nor Cal Club. I prefer riding alone. Harley riders are fine, the bikes don't appeal to me.
Ryan just when I don't think you can top the last Documentary you just knock it out of the park all I can say is WOW , I going to have to watch 3or 4 times to see everything Looking forward to hopefully to seeing you again this summer. Ride safe my friend looking forward to the next film.
It’s easy to get emotional while looking at this. Remembering the days on The Convoy and the friends made, miles travelled, and the scenery displayed along each mile. You’re right you can never go back but you can sure ride forward to the next adventure, the next friendship made, the next epic journey.
This is probably the best video and journey I’ve ever seen. It’s so inspiring and I can’t wait to get on my own road trip! Everything in this video is on point. The commentary, the music and the love between people. The motorcycle community is amazing. Thank you for your time to share your experience!
I've been riding long distance since my military years in the 80s and it never gets old. Visiting old friends, meeting new ones, and roaming the open road. This channel just makes me want to hit the road right now, even with it raining outside. As a friend always tells me, "It's the damp side of Heaven." I hope to meet you sometime during our travels, but until then, keep it between the ditches and may you always have dry powder. 👍
Right. Let’s get something straight here - That was awesome! Beautifully filmed, narrated and edited, 100% superb! And thank your the list of IO music, there’s a track there I’ve been after for some time but could never find, cheers guys! Love the ‘sophisticated film equip’ and no, Harbor Inn DEFO not for me….
Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I really appreciate it. Im happy to hear you were able to locate the song! Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
tremendous editing, sound design, narration and story telling. Tying it all together at the end w the photo and scribbing of "2024" into the journal stating why we all can truly "never go back" bravo 👏
Seeing this video available this morning was like waking up to a Christmas present. I've loved your channel for years and your absence was a great concern! Thankfully all is very well and I loved every minute of this journey you took us on, especially The Dash. How poetic and true. Hope to meet you out there on the road one day Ryan to shake your hand and thank you for all the excellent content you create just for us.
This was masterful in so many ways, bro. Kudos for your passion and Incredible work. I'm not only inspired even more to ride, but its helped realign my focus on making every day of my life count. Thank you!
Just found your channel and subbed.your filming is so refreshing to watch. I feel immersed. I have ridden bikes off and on for years.now I am 70,and trying to get back the feeling with a small cycle.your videos help alot.thank you
Hell there. Welcome and thank you for being here and checking out this film. I am truly inspired by your commitment to continue riding the ride. Be safe and all the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
Can-Am Spyder Ryder here. I walked in on my husband watching this video…as we both ride together with a HOG Chapter. I could not stop watching as i love to film my adventures of ryding my Spyder cross country. Thank you for this master class in filming what it means, feels like and looks like to ride on the open road. May God continue to bless every mile you travel and film 🙏🏽
Excellent job Ryan! Very glad to have met you on the Convoy and again thanks for signing my saddle bag, still need a sticker tho! Hopefully we meet again this year,stay safe out there!
Hey Jamey. Thanks for watching. Can you please shoot me an email about that sticker. I'm not sure what happened but I knew I missed a handful but didn't know who. fullthrottlehog@outlook.com
Are you freaking kidding me!! Let first start off by saying I'm a sport bike guy, yes I have rod Harleys, there just not my thing. I will say though the best Harley I ever rode was one with a front tire on the rear, it made a massive difference and frankly was still safe. The guy had been doing it for almost 10 years. Anyway I saw this vid and being a two wheels kinda guy I clicked it thinking ahh I will never make to the end. Let me tell you, not only was this just awesome trip to watch but your video editing is insane!! I blinked and the show was over. Thank you, thank you for showing us that there's still fun to be had even when we get older. I can't think you enough for that. If your just reading the comments section to see if this is worth watching, let me tell ya from a knee dragger this is a great video with beautiful scenery that will leave your jaw hanging. Take care. Peace ✌
I have watched many motorcycle videos but have never taken the time to comment. When this video popped up in my feed, I decided to watch it even though it was 48 minutes in length. I was left speechless. Wow! That is all I can say. Thank you so much for sharing your experience which you put into words and pictures for not only those that ride, but those that may not understand or “just don’t get it”. I heard about “Living the dash” during a sermon at my church and it gave me goosebumps to hear you share it as well. People say that “one day I’ll take that ride” but unfortunately that one day never comes for them. Thanks again for all the work you put into this. I hope it encourages those that ride to get out there and find themselves in the miles behind their bars. I also hope that it encourages those that have considered motorcycling to quit making excuses and find a way to do it. Wishing you many more miles. Ride safe! (FYI….my account was created for my band hence the name)
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the film and to comment. The Dash continues to be a driving force for me in all aspects of life. I have been blessed to have these opportunities. Wishing you nothing but the best in 2024.
I’ve been watching motorcycle videos on UA-cam for years! I have no idea how I never found your channel! What an absolutely amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm always amazed by your talent, man. All the while, thousands of miles across the ocean, in Scotland, I felt like it was there without even ever having seen America in person Amazing storytelling, well done
@@FullThrottleHOG I'm 25 years old and I really want to start riding! I'm planning on taking classes to ride the Harley Davidson Freewheeler and I'm planning on doing what you did. I love motorcycles, I love the culture and the history. I've never rode a motorcycle in my life, there are so many weekend trips I want to go on and eventually longer trips. I want to eventually go on a cross-country trip from Utah (where I live, as a matter of fact at the 10:29 mark, you went through my city. I live in Saint George 😂) up to Maine, and down through the southern states (possibly all the southern states) I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I want to bring a GoPro to film my rides, a nice camera to take photos of some nice areas, a journal to write down all my stories, and a sketchbook to draw areas, places, and people I met and talked with. All kinds of things are going through my head and I really want to do this! Do you have any advice for me? I would love to hear what you have to say.
I've been on the fence about a bike for 2 years now. I live a few blocks from the Harley dealer in El Cajon and would dream every time I drove by it. I'm enjoying going through all of your content but this one inspired me. Now, my Road glide gets delivered in 2 days and I'll have my M1 in a few weeks. You've either changed my life for the better or killed me, I'll know in a few weeks.
Oh wow man! Thank you. 🤙🏻. Congrats on the new bike. My advice is to take it slow, get as much additional training as possible. This lifestyle is a game changer and I’m truly excited for you. Welcome, and I hope to see you out on the road in San Diego. Be safe.
I would just like to say that I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years and I've watched a million videos on UA-cam of everybody ride across country and all this beautiful land we live in but your video touch my heart . you are definitely blessed keep doing what you do and thank you for letting me experience it with you
Im 41 and just bought a Vulcan 88, 1500cc. And the first time i rode her, and was able to get two feet on my bike and ride, i got a tear in my eye. With two hours i have taught myself to ride, when i first got on i knew only the basics. Now im able to go to the store down the street. I feel like i was built to ride. Ive always wanted one since i was a kid.
Its peace of mind, when riding. Its something nobody understands unless they also ride a motorcycle. Me & my coworker, just started last year doing long trip across states. I do it in my tuono & he does it on a honda rebel. The smile per gallon are priceless.
If that doesn’t inspire you to get out and ride the open road I don’t know what will. Great job once again Ryan you inspire me more and more with every film you make!
Great journey! Thankfully for me, I never ever need a reason to ride, good or bad weather. Welcome from Northern Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Ride safe everyone 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Back in 2007 I rode from NJ to Kansas City for the National Bikers Round-Up. From KC I headed to Sturgis and went north into Omaha. A friend suggested taking Nebraska 275/20 into Valentine and 44 west into Badlands NP then up to Wall. It was a beautiful ride. Cows as far as the eye could see. Epic ride for a city guy from the northeast. From Sturgis headed to California and the a U Turn back to NJ. 22 days on the road, 8,044 miles thru 27 states. Really enjoyed this documentary Ryan. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep the memories flowing.
Your video doc was fantastic brother…. Brought joy to my heart and tears to eyes… it truly makes me happy to see others on the open road to see our beautiful country of America. You have captured the feelings and the emotions I feel when I ride alone!! Thank you and keep up all the hard work.
Such an amazing trip and fantastic footage & editing as usual. My wife & daughter sat through the whole thing commenting on how good it was. What a great 2023. Looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings.
Ryan. Your documentary your experiences,this video and the poem the dash and you are the reason why I will be buying a motorcycle! Such a wonderful and heartfelt video thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼. Having this film provide some type of inspiration is the best compliment I can get. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it. Be safe 🤙🏻
Awesome Awesome video!! You are correct, there is nothing like the biker community. I got to ride along with the convoy for a day and couldn’t have had a better time and Adam is definitely a class act all of the fundraisers that he has done is incredible. Keep up the good work and ride safe, hopefully I will get to meet you on the road one of these days.
Just kicked you a 10 spot. This is the first time I've ever given anything to a UA-camr. As a lover of riding, this truly impacted me. I can relate so much to the experiences you had on this journey. I've had similar experiences along the way including unexpected snow and keeping the bike upright lol I've just never ridden that far in a trip. This is a moving short film that even people that don't ride should watch. In fact, I think everyone who does NOT ride should see this to understand our culture is more than just beer and burnouts and cutting people off in traffic. This is who we truly are in our community!
Oh wow!!!! Thank you so much. Definitely not expected, but I truly do appreciate it. Thanks for watching this film and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
Wow, thank you for taking us on a little journey, or reminder of why we ride. Your narration is nothing less than professional, both your words and amazing editing. Last year I could not ride because of medical inabilities but I'm looking forward to this year. There is no therapy like being on the road, weather you're solo or riding with your best friend. This documentary says what we all would say and agree. There is no experience like it and I would never take it back. Thanks again from Idaho.
Great video. Reminds me of a trip my wife and i made last June, 6,678 miles from Cape Coral, FL to Vegas, Sturgis, Indianapolis, and then back home. Many stops, great people, wonderful restaurants, crazy weather, met up with great friends, saw family, seen sites I’ve only seen in books or on TV. Made some fantastic memories and trying to figure out how to do another. There is something about getting out on the road and ditching “normal” life behind. It’s like an undiscovered Calling to adventure to places never seen before or knew they existed. It definitely should be a part of everyone’s “Dash” at some point in their lives.
Absolutely amazing...beautiful...perfect. It was well worth the wait. The video footage, the scoring...everything. It is a work of art... and what makes it even better...all the people along the way. I'm sure everyone watching this can feel every part of this to their core. Loved it!
@@FullThrottleHOG I had really no idea what to expect...but I was blown away. ...and honored to have you and Lindsey as friends, and to be a part of your story. Love you guys!
Well, what can I say other than being utterly glued to this video and your wonderful comments - straight from the heart. You are a brilliant photographer. A really stunning country but sorry to say..... not even close to what New Zealand has to offer. Many, many thanks for sharing. From New Zealand. (OK, Yes... just slightly bias !) People are wonderful and bikers are a really "special" breed.
Love your style!! I’m living my dreams through riders like you. I’ve been battling cancer for 3 years and I’m afraid my long distance trips may be over. Thanks for sharing your journey!!
I gotta comment again. I grew up on the back of my Dad's motorcycle as a kid, touring the US. This video has really inspired me to get out there and take a long tour this summer....I shared it with my Dad who is now 78 and it almost brought us to tears remembering the amazing times we shared together. Amazing video sir, hope to see you on the road one day. Keep up the amazing work!
Awe man...Thank you so much. I appreciate you passing this along to your father as well. My dream was to take a cross country trip with my Dad on a motorcycle. We missed our window. I am truly humbled to hear this video created such a great memory. Be safe.
It's the absolute best, heartfelt video I have ever been blessed to watch. As a veteran and battling stage 4 colon cancer. I take in every minute I am blessed to ride. I absolutely felt this. I'm jealous and thankful for you!!!
Thank you Sir for sharing your experiences I always look forward to your films. You make us all feel like we are right there with you in the moment with you. Look forward to what 2024 bring you. God Bless!!
Thanks so much for doing this! I completed a 24 day - 13,900 km ride this summer from Atlantic Canada to Ocean Shores, WA (return) via two Canadian provinces and 26 US States. We shared some of the same roads and your documentary brought back many fond memories of my 2023 summer rider..well done!
Awesome film, man❗️I say that because your content like this is way more than just a video. I've been waiting for this one! Beautifully put together! I don't know who could watch it only once. Thanks for sharing this.. and thanks for using your talent to highlight our amazing motorcycle community!
You have a way with words and you even got me emotional - “it’s just you and the bike soaking in the experience as you discover new places” I’ve felt that. Winters in Maine are sad times for a motorcycle rider but this video helps. ***Please write a book one day.****
Awe...Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it as this is a very nice comment. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle or with anyone who you think might enjoy it. Be safe.
Im here in Australia packing my shit but still undecided whether to take off or not with your video playing in tbe background. Its been a rough few weeks. Kinda know it will probably do me good but just stuck in my own head. Thanks for the inspiration. Im about 80% there. Oh and did i mention its bloody hot!
I was in your video, I was riding with Adam. I did meet you and I hope to meet you again, 2024 my son and I are riding from Wisconsin to Maine and down to Virginia. Your movie was fantastic, I loved it
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the film. A father/son trip is absolutely heartwarming to me. My father and I would always talk about riding motorcycles across the country but it never happened. He's too old now and we missed our window. Best wishes to you in 2024.
Oh man. There aren’t many videos on UA-cam that I can watch for 50 minutes without being distracted, but I watched this in one go. I was sucked in! You made a great movie brother. Love from the Netherlands!
Bed bed ridden with a knee injury and just watched this amazing documentary. This really made me want to get back on my bike and ride.....stay safe out there Brother
Ryan, I absolutely loved this epic! Most captivating for me was your rides through Montana and (tops for me) the Redwood Forest. The last time I went through Montana was in 1993 while I was on leave. And my last trip through the Redwood Forest was in early 1979, when I was 15, when my dad and I were the advanced party for my family’s move from L.A. to western Washington. Definitely brought back memories. This whole video also made me reminiscent of my 2023. Both my wife and I rode (all from Colorado) to… -Key West in April -Flagstaff in May -an Iron Butt to Kansas City, Des Moines, Cheyenne, and back home in June -Moab in July (hot!) -South (mostly) and North Dakota in September -and Los Angeles in October to visit grandkids We hope to have a decent 2024 riding, but I hope that 2025 will be bigger, more epic than we’ve had previously. I only wish I had the talent and wherewithal to document it like you do. Your cinematography and storytelling is first class. 👍🏻
I’m 64 and retiring in April. Been riding since ‘77 and there’s nothing better than being on the road just you and the bike. Now I have more time to go farther and longer. And you are right, every morning when on the road is as exciting as the first day. Thanks for the great story.
Just got home and saw the last part of this video. It looked awesome. Definitely going to rewatch it, and I can't wait to see the entire video. Great job Ryan!
In the 90's rode many miles in England, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Portugal. Then in 2007 Started to visit the USA and visited thirteen states. Love it. Take care brother from England.
I appreciate you being here and taking the time to watch this film. I hope to get over the pond and ride in your neck of the woods one of these days. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻. Be safe.
Absolutely amazing. It is nothing short of remarkable how you catch the spirit and freedom of being on a bike and the feeling of the open road. Your spirit comes through on all of your videos and this one was no different. Always makes my blood start flowing and reminds me why we do what we do. Can't wait for the snow to melt and once again feel the sun on my face and hit the road to explore this beautiful country that you captured so brilliantly once again! Thanks for another amazing video brother! Ride safe and ride free!
Brother, couldn’t wait for this drop from you. Can’t believe I missed the pre-drop party, but I enjoyed playing that back before I watched this documentary. I wanted two hours of it! I just sat and reflected when it finished, all too fast it concluded. Couldn’t come up with anything to share following; I was just resting in the moment, so to speak. Slept on it, and the next morning, Adam’s comment “I’m at home on the road” (I may have paraphrased that a bit), really resonated with me. All that genuine Community you engaged with, in all your travels, state to state. The events, the diners, the gas pumps, out riding with some you just met, yet feels like the best of friends. In this world today, more than ever before, we NEED community. We’re meant to be in community. Many lost community during the COVID mess; many never got that community back, community that took many a lifetime to be surrounded with. Your video shows the impact of community, how quick it comes together within our circle, and most definitely will inspire many to get off the couch and join us. Thanks buddy to you and yours for the sweat equity, the time away from home, from each other at times, pulling this together for us all. Appreciate your leading the charge.
Awe, thank you man. I really appreciate this thought out comment. You are correct, it is all about the community and I just feel blessed to be accepted by it. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
That was amazing! Your videos inspire me to attempt to do great things. Nashville isn’t far from home so I sure hope to cross paths if you’re ever in Tennessee. This community appreciates you very much Ryan!
Your right - each year the time goes by faster. I just got back into riding 63 years old bought a 2014 Chieftain. Love riding the driftless area of Wi. and up and down the Mississippi. Great videos am now a subscriber
That peace within peace reminded me of Emerald lake BC 🇨🇦 last year on holiday with my family, I’ll never forget it. I’d love to do that trip again on 2 wheels from Calgary to Vancouver… absolutely stunning scenery.. I live in Ireland but my heart belongs to the rockies. I’ll be back sometime 🏍️
That was an absolutely breathtaking film. I've been capturing my motorcycle journey with my husband the last few years and have hoarded content; I am just starting to dig into the nuances of organizing and editing it for my own channel. Not only was I impressed by the 'technical' portions of your film but also by the way you captured the emotions of traveling on two wheels. We have yet to ride the West Coast (we are in NY) but man did it feel like I was there. I've seen the same areas you traveled from other videos but the well written script combined with the editing made it that much better. Thank You! Looking forward to more of your content and inspiring me to capture as much as I can of my journey as well. 🤘💜This is a masterpiece.
I grew up with bikers and I know they can be some of the warmest friends. Looking forward to contributing to this wonderful community now that I have a bike of my own. Cheers from East Tennessee
San Diego, best climate in the United States... Huh? A snowstorm while riding out of there. That kind of stuff happens to me way too often on bike trips but I swear it wasn't my fault, I was nowhere near San Diego that day. 😉 Thank you for this fabulous film and we appreciate the effort it took. See you down the road!
This is a great video that describes why I love riding motorcycle so much and why it makes my soul happy and why it helps with my mental health issues. People ask me what I do for a living and I tell them that I'm a truck driver. Then they ask me if I like it and truthfully I don't, it's a mundane, looked down upon and not appreciated. Every single thing you use in daily live gets hauled by a truck and someone like me drives it, let that sink in. The reason I have been doing this job so long is to be able to have the financial means to be able to do things like this, which makes the job worth it to make my soul happy every single second I'm on two wheels. Including the good and the bad experiences on a motorcycle. Awesome video and thank you for making it! This describes the thoughts in my head while I'm riding and going on a trip. I live in Montana and riding Hwy 12 west is truly phenomenal, that was one of my favorite rides from Missoula to the coast in Oregon.
Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. Keep making the time to get out there on the open road as its good for the soul, and mental health. I'll be up in Montana again this summer and can't wait to hit up Highway 12 again. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
@@FullThrottleHOG if you get to Billings and have some extra time on your trip I would love to meet up and say Hi, and possibly show you a couple things you might not have ridden yet. Thanks for the reply and all the best to you as well.
Man, I envy you. I've been wanting to do a road trip. But I've been too busy with work. I know we only live once and have to live for the day like there's no tomorrow. Thanks for your videos it is inspiring and giving me motivation to my own travels on my scooter.

Brother this was a awesome video here. You couldn't have done a better job. The narration to the footage the people and the brotherhood that we all share... Yeah I subscribed too. May the lord continue to bless you in all your travels. Nothing but Love and respect coming from the Retired Outlaw of Ga.
Thank you. 🙏🏼. I appreciate the nice comment and for taking the time to watch this film.
As I watch your video, I am looking forward to a 9 week 10k miles bike trip through northwest US and Canadian Rockies. However, I am currently being treated for cancer. Lord willing, I will be cured and on the trip this summer. Thank you for the inspiration one rider to another.
You're a champ! That sounds like an amazing 9 week journey. The positive mind can be the best medicine your body needs. I wish you a fast recovery and nothing but the best in 2024.
May it be so, strength, joy, and growth ahead on your ride! Blessings and peace ❤

I'm taking my first motorcycle cross country from Texas to Banf and to the east. I've done two cross countries in a car before but now at 37 and single I'm making choices I wouldn't have in the past. This documentary helped light a fire to what I might discover on the road. Thank you
The touring motorcycle lifestyle was very new to me. Most of my friends and family members told me that my decision to ride a motorcycle at age 64 was reckless and dangerous. But I did anyway and bought a Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special. What I discovered was shocking and amazing. There is absolutely nothing like riding a touring motorcycle. The freedom, beautiful sceneries, exciting ventures, the sounds and smells, the feeling of flying on the highway, the therapeutic benefits, and most importantly the incredible people you meet in the motorcycling family; all part of this wonderful experience. Do yourself a lifelong favor. Ride a touring motorcycle just once.
Great points here and congratulations on your purchase. Be safe and thanks for taking the time to watch this film. 🤙🏻
Couldn’t have put it any better. I started riding in October 2023 aged 63. I can’t explain the way it makes me feel but it’s all good. Stay safe 🙏
Fantastic! I'm purchasing my first bike at 65 . Looking forward to a wonderful time 😊
That is why I bought my 1994 Electra Glide all original with 125K miles on it. She has had more touring miles than I have, but I will ride her until I die.
Im 62 and just started riding. 2004 h.softail . I just can't stop riding. It's very relaxing n stress eliminator. All anxieties at my age and etc just vanishes . Sightseeing smelling the countryside and stopping for coffee or a coke ...nothing better.
A kick the bucket list.
I am 83 years old, and ride a 99 Softail Custom. I do not do long rides any more, but ride around the back roads where I live. I started riding on a 1942 "45" flat head, when I was 14 in 1955. I rode an Iron head Sportster for 23 years. Had a few other bikes in between. But the one I have now is just like sitting in my recliner. The stock 99 Softail Custom is the most comfortable of all the bikes I have ever ridden. I have a bad back, but I never worry about the EVO getting me home. I still enjoy getting out during the summer in the cool of the morning for an hour or so. In the winter I wait till it warms up a bit.
When I come home my wife of 65 years knows I will be happy.
“While you think about everything you think about nothing” that line explains it all, being on a bike is an emotional roller coaster.
I've had it said to me 'you lose yourself and find yourself all at the same time '...!!
My Brother, you experienced, produced and shared your own Netflix documentary. In all seriousness, this is it! The journey, the inspiration, the motivation and the tears of joy are all here. As a pastor about to semi-retire ( they won’t let me go fully) I want to trade-in my Vulcan 1600 for an HD (I’ve always wanted one) and cover some miles as I exhale from doing so much, for so many, for so long-my heart, mind and body needs an extended break. One way or another, motorcycle or car, I must see those redwoods. …maybe UA-cam will change again (soon) so your channel will have more than 100k subs…you deserve it. P.s., how many sets of tires have you put on your RG. Peace on your journey of life.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this nice comment. I've gone through 4 sets of tires in the 60k miles I've got on this RG. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
This was FANTASTIC !! NEVER GO BACK
I can’t understand why this masterpiece has only 200k views? Dear youtube algorithm, please spread this video as it deserves.
Awesome job, just astonishing!
Awe man! Thank you. I really appreciate this comment. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle and with anyone else you think might enjoy it. Be safe.
This is probably the best motorcycle documentary that I watched until now.
Very grateful for your work .
Yes it’s a masterpiece and you deserve an Oscar award.
You thought of everything, camera angles, storytelling, soundtrack, was really great . Not mentioning the editing hours of footage!
❤ thanks 🙏
@@FullThrottleHOG great masterpiece bro 😎 ❤

Dude, you captured on film what every biker feels when they are out riding. No matter the bike, the location, the gender or race, when we are out there riding with friends (and God) it truly transcends everything else. Great job keep up the awesome work.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment and for taking the time to watch this film. Be safe.
This! I just ride trails and woods with an off-road only dirt bike and just getting by myself is very relaxing and cathartic. Focused throttle therapy is a lot like focused trigger therapy; both transcend video and audio on the right days.
I am so glad I found this channel. Im 39, only been riding 2 years, but this is the life style im after. I need this for my soul. Life is short. You are beyond inspiring.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film and welcome. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle, or with anyone else you think might enjoy it. Be safe out there and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
9.40 " So i often find myself having difficulty explaining what it is explaining riding a motorcycle on the open road on what on these trips, filming these documentaries and the best i can come up with and while riding it really forces you to think about everything and while you think about everything, in turn you think about nothing and all that white noise that you have going on upstairs in your brain it really helps you find some clarity and it truly is remarkable. " This is something i could not express/explain to non riders.. But finally someone said it.. Beautiful.
Two wheels move your soul, my friend.
18 more years to go lol. Motivated to stick through these next enlistments just so I can afford and have the time to travel America just like you and Adam. Such inspirations. Thanks for a wonderful video. Can't believe I haven't seen it until now
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I appreciate you being here and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024 Austin!
Man, it’s 4 AM in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. I was in my bed watching this incredible film of yours. I swear to God, after it was done, I couldn’t sleep, and right now, I’m writing this comment while I’m in my car going to pick up my bike and go for a ride, wishing one day that I come to the US and go on a trip with you.. All respect🫡✨
Hello Abdul…Thank you so much for watching this film. I’m totally honored to hear that this film brought you motivation to get a ride in. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
You are most welcome we hope to see you soon inshallah.
Did 7500mi last summer, Boston to Grand Canyon, then up through Zion, Bryce, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Beartooth, Big Horn, Sturgis, Deadwood, Devils, Custer, Badlands, and back. I was addicted, now I need therapy, and can't wait to get going this year. I've NEVER experienced riding in snow and ice, and don't know how, or if I'd have the nuts. Headed to Daytona in 3 weeks, and hoping not to find any. LOVED this video, thank you, narration was superb, some familiar sights. Thank you for helping me get through winter. Outstanding
Thanks for watching. I hope spring comes fast. Be safe.
I did about 6800 last summer / spring. But I didn’t leave the black hills lol.
When you're riding in heaven, no need to leave. Except maybe winter

Mr. Anderson: Thank you so much for allowing us to share in these joys you've experienced. Please never stop riding, and allow us to continue partaking in these explorations of ourselves and the world around us. Deepest admiration and appreciations.
Thank you Andrew. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Be safe. 🤙🏻
After 15 minutes of watching this video I hit "Subscribe"!!!! Thanks for sharing your journey and words of wisdom!!
Knocked it out of the park again. You are making some the most inspirational and professional motorcycle touring shorts out there right now.
Thank you. I really appreciate this comment. Be safe.
Ahh.. very, very good!
The dash..
I too raise my arms..
Thank you for this film🙏
When everything seem to falling apart, movies like this gives me hope and courage.
Having a film provide motivation and positive thinking might be the best compliment I could ever get. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film.
Not excluding the bike ride, the people you meet. The Cinematography, the story lines, and the explorations. Dude this was an "EPIC" journey and a great inspiration, Thanks 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Thank you for giving this film a look.
As I watched the video it had me recalling all the wonderful trips I have made on motorcycles over my 56 years of riding. Riding with friends, wife, and my brother are all etched in my memory. I haven't ridden in over two years even though there is still a bike in the garage, not sure if I will ever do so again. But the memories are there for ever. Thank you FullthrottleHogg for bringing the trips back to me.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I’m pleased to hear it brought back fond memories. 🤙🏻
Absolutely fabulous! This is the epitome of why we ride....and this is a man we hope to meet along the way!
Thank you for being here Raymond and taking the time to watch the film. I appreciate ya!
truly inspirational ,great film.....from Yorkshire UK
I'm not a Harley guy (even though my last name is Davidson) I ride a BMW but I love Harley people. I've done a few BMW group rides and the vibe is kind of boring. Your doc has me questioning my choice a bit lol. Such a beautiful film....made me feel the way I feel every time I watch Easy Rider and that feeling is FREEDOM
I have owned 15 BMW bikes (1965 though 1990 models), 5 Moto Morinis, 2 Guzzi LeMans, 71 Norton Commando drum braker, and a few others.
I, too, did BMW group rides when a 10 year member of the Nor Cal Club. I prefer riding alone. Harley riders are fine, the bikes don't appeal to me.
I am the same, BMW1100ccRT rider, but love Harley people’s vibe.
Thank you for sharing your life experiences! Ride on!
Ryan just when I don't think you can top the last Documentary you just knock it out of the park all I can say is WOW , I going to have to watch 3or 4 times to see everything Looking forward to hopefully to seeing you again this summer. Ride safe my friend looking forward to the next film.
Thanks brother. I appreciate that. I definitely hope to make it back over that way in 2024. Be safe my friend.
What an amazing film...thank you for sharing
It’s easy to get emotional while looking at this. Remembering the days on The Convoy and the friends made, miles travelled, and the scenery displayed along each mile. You’re right you can never go back but you can sure ride forward to the next adventure, the next friendship made, the next epic journey.
Soooooo true brother. Be safe and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
This is probably the best video and journey I’ve ever seen. It’s so inspiring and I can’t wait to get on my own road trip!
Everything in this video is on point. The commentary, the music and the love between people. The motorcycle community is amazing.
Thank you for your time to share your experience!
I've been riding long distance since my military years in the 80s and it never gets old. Visiting old friends, meeting new ones, and roaming the open road. This channel just makes me want to hit the road right now, even with it raining outside. As a friend always tells me, "It's the damp side of Heaven."
I hope to meet you sometime during our travels, but until then, keep it between the ditches and may you always have dry powder. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I appreciate you being here. Hope to catch you on the road in 2024. 🤙🏻
Right. Let’s get something straight here - That was awesome! Beautifully filmed, narrated and edited, 100% superb!
And thank your the list of IO music, there’s a track there I’ve been after for some time but could never find, cheers guys! Love the ‘sophisticated film equip’ and no, Harbor Inn DEFO not for me….
Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I really appreciate it. Im happy to hear you were able to locate the song! Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
That was awesome, Ryan. You should be very proud. Love all your content. Please keep it coming. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Terry. I appreciate the support.
All who ride....you are heroes. Troopers that deserve honor and respect.
Thank you for watching this film. Truly means a lot.
tremendous editing, sound design, narration and story telling. Tying it all together at the end w the photo and scribbing of "2024" into the journal stating why we all can truly "never go back" bravo 👏
Thanks brother. I was hoping that hit home and you nailed it. I appreciate the feedback.
Relate much. Just a newbie rider watching from the Philippines. Great video. Ride safe bro.
Seeing this video available this morning was like waking up to a Christmas present. I've loved your channel for years and your absence was a great concern! Thankfully all is very well and I loved every minute of this journey you took us on, especially The Dash. How poetic and true. Hope to meet you out there on the road one day Ryan to shake your hand and thank you for all the excellent content you create just for us.
Thank you Michael. Your support for the channel through the years means so much to me. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024. Be safe.
This was masterful in so many ways, bro. Kudos for your passion and Incredible work. I'm not only inspired even more to ride, but its helped realign my focus on making every day of my life count. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
Just found your channel and subbed.your filming is so refreshing to watch. I feel immersed. I have ridden bikes off and on for years.now I am 70,and trying to get back the feeling with a small cycle.your videos help alot.thank you
Hell there. Welcome and thank you for being here and checking out this film. I am truly inspired by your commitment to continue riding the ride. Be safe and all the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
You're never too old to ride, I'm 70 also, I ride 07, Yamaha royal star Venture, just stay in shape watch your diet,and exercise, Happy riding..😊..
Can-Am Spyder Ryder here. I walked in on my husband watching this video…as we both ride together with a HOG Chapter. I could not stop watching as i love to film my adventures of ryding my Spyder cross country. Thank you for this master class in filming what it means, feels like and looks like to ride on the open road. May God continue to bless every mile you travel and film 🙏🏽
Excellent job Ryan! Very glad to have met you on the Convoy and again thanks for signing my saddle bag, still need a sticker tho! Hopefully we meet again this year,stay safe out there!
Hey Jamey. Thanks for watching. Can you please shoot me an email about that sticker. I'm not sure what happened but I knew I missed a handful but didn't know who. fullthrottlehog@outlook.com
Are you freaking kidding me!! Let first start off by saying I'm a sport bike guy, yes I have rod Harleys, there just not my thing. I will say though the best Harley I ever rode was one with a front tire on the rear, it made a massive difference and frankly was still safe. The guy had been doing it for almost 10 years. Anyway I saw this vid and being a two wheels kinda guy I clicked it thinking ahh I will never make to the end. Let me tell you, not only was this just awesome trip to watch but your video editing is insane!! I blinked and the show was over. Thank you, thank you for showing us that there's still fun to be had even when we get older. I can't think you enough for that. If your just reading the comments section to see if this is worth watching, let me tell ya from a knee dragger this is a great video with beautiful scenery that will leave your jaw hanging.
Take care.
Peace ✌
Thank you for taking the time to watch this film and for leaving such a thoughtful comment. Be safe out there and I appreciate you being here. 🤙🏻
I have watched many motorcycle videos but have never taken the time to comment. When this video popped up in my feed, I decided to watch it even though it was 48 minutes in length. I was left speechless. Wow! That is all I can say. Thank you so much for sharing your experience which you put into words and pictures for not only those that ride, but those that may not understand or “just don’t get it”. I heard about “Living the dash” during a sermon at my church and it gave me goosebumps to hear you share it as well. People say that “one day I’ll take that ride” but unfortunately that one day never comes for them. Thanks again for all the work you put into this. I hope it encourages those that ride to get out there and find themselves in the miles behind their bars. I also hope that it encourages those that have considered motorcycling to quit making excuses and find a way to do it. Wishing you many more miles. Ride safe! (FYI….my account was created for my band hence the name)
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the film and to comment. The Dash continues to be a driving force for me in all aspects of life. I have been blessed to have these opportunities. Wishing you nothing but the best in 2024.
Thank you and to you and yours as well. Time to hop on my Street Glide and go for a ride! :) @@FullThrottleHOG

I feel this in my bones. Though I've moved away from just road trips. Now I do off road adventures as well. Best of both worlds.
Totally agree. I see an adventure bike in my future. Lol. Thanks for watching and be safe.

Giant round of applause! Wonderful film.
Thank you Connie.
I'm always amazed by your talent, man.
All the while, thousands of miles across the ocean, in Scotland, I felt like it was there without even ever having seen America in person
Amazing storytelling, well done
You sure do know how to tell a story. You have a gift to personify motorcycling. Well done.
Thank you! I really appreciate the nice comment.
@@FullThrottleHOG I'm 25 years old and I really want to start riding! I'm planning on taking classes to ride the Harley Davidson Freewheeler and I'm planning on doing what you did. I love motorcycles, I love the culture and the history. I've never rode a motorcycle in my life, there are so many weekend trips I want to go on and eventually longer trips. I want to eventually go on a cross-country trip from Utah (where I live, as a matter of fact at the 10:29 mark, you went through my city. I live in Saint George 😂) up to Maine, and down through the southern states (possibly all the southern states) I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I want to bring a GoPro to film my rides, a nice camera to take photos of some nice areas, a journal to write down all my stories, and a sketchbook to draw areas, places, and people I met and talked with. All kinds of things are going through my head and I really want to do this! Do you have any advice for me? I would love to hear what you have to say.
I've been on the fence about a bike for 2 years now. I live a few blocks from the Harley dealer in El Cajon and would dream every time I drove by it. I'm enjoying going through all of your content but this one inspired me. Now, my Road glide gets delivered in 2 days and I'll have my M1 in a few weeks. You've either changed my life for the better or killed me, I'll know in a few weeks.
Oh wow man! Thank you. 🤙🏻. Congrats on the new bike. My advice is to take it slow, get as much additional training as possible. This lifestyle is a game changer and I’m truly excited for you. Welcome, and I hope to see you out on the road in San Diego. Be safe.
Absolute perfection. Those drone shots were insane. Thanks for taking us along the adventure. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thank you. I appreciate the support.
I would just like to say that I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years and I've watched a million videos on UA-cam of everybody ride across country and all this beautiful land we live in but your video touch my heart . you are definitely blessed keep doing what you do and thank you for letting me experience it with you
Thank you for such a nice comment and for taking the time to watch the film. Wishing you the best in 2024.
Im 41 and just bought a Vulcan 88, 1500cc. And the first time i rode her, and was able to get two feet on my bike and ride, i got a tear in my eye. With two hours i have taught myself to ride, when i first got on i knew only the basics. Now im able to go to the store down the street. I feel like i was built to ride. Ive always wanted one since i was a kid.
Nice! Continue to practice and ride safe. Hopefully I will see you on the road one of these days. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film.
Its peace of mind, when riding. Its something nobody understands unless they also ride a motorcycle. Me & my coworker, just started last year doing long trip across states. I do it in my tuono & he does it on a honda rebel. The smile per gallon are priceless.
So true! I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this film. I wish you all the best in 2024. Be safe.
If that doesn’t inspire you to get out and ride the open road I don’t know what will. Great job once again Ryan you inspire me more and more with every film you make!
Thank you Greg. I really do appreciate it.
Great journey! Thankfully for me, I never ever need a reason to ride, good or bad weather.

@@FullThrottleHOG most definitely!
Back in 2007 I rode from NJ to Kansas City for the National Bikers Round-Up. From KC I headed to Sturgis and went north into Omaha.
A friend suggested taking Nebraska 275/20 into Valentine and 44 west into Badlands NP then up to Wall.
It was a beautiful ride. Cows as far as the eye could see.
Epic ride for a city guy from the northeast.
From Sturgis headed to California and the a U Turn back to NJ.
22 days on the road, 8,044 miles thru 27 states.
Really enjoyed this documentary Ryan.

Awesome Awesome video!! You are correct, there is nothing like the biker community. I got to ride along with the convoy for a day and couldn’t have had a better time and Adam is definitely a class act all of the fundraisers that he has done is incredible. Keep up the good work and ride safe, hopefully I will get to meet you on the road one of these days.
Thank you Michael. I appreciate you giving this film a look. I hope to get in on his convoy again this year. Hope to catch you in 2024.
Just kicked you a 10 spot. This is the first time I've ever given anything to a UA-camr. As a lover of riding, this truly impacted me. I can relate so much to the experiences you had on this journey. I've had similar experiences along the way including unexpected snow and keeping the bike upright lol I've just never ridden that far in a trip. This is a moving short film that even people that don't ride should watch. In fact, I think everyone who does NOT ride should see this to understand our culture is more than just beer and burnouts and cutting people off in traffic. This is who we truly are in our community!
Oh wow!!!! Thank you so much. Definitely not expected, but I truly do appreciate it. Thanks for watching this film and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024. 🤙🏻
Wow, thank you for taking us on a little journey, or reminder of why we ride. Your narration is nothing less than professional, both your words and amazing editing. Last year I could not ride because of medical inabilities but I'm looking forward to this year. There is no therapy like being on the road, weather you're solo or riding with your best friend. This documentary says what we all would say and agree. There is no experience like it and I would never take it back. Thanks again from Idaho.
Thank you David. I wish you good health and nothing but the best in 2024. I appreciate you.
Great video. Reminds me of a trip my wife and i made last June, 6,678 miles from Cape Coral, FL to Vegas, Sturgis, Indianapolis, and then back home. Many stops, great people, wonderful restaurants, crazy weather, met up with great friends, saw family, seen sites I’ve only seen in books or on TV. Made some fantastic memories and trying to figure out how to do another. There is something about getting out on the road and ditching “normal” life behind. It’s like an undiscovered Calling to adventure to places never seen before or knew they existed. It definitely should be a part of everyone’s “Dash” at some point in their lives.
So true! Great point. Wishing you the best in 2024.
Absolutely amazing...beautiful...perfect. It was well worth the wait. The video footage, the scoring...everything. It is a work of art... and what makes it even better...all the people along the way. I'm sure everyone watching this can feel every part of this to their core. Loved it!

Well, what can I say other than being utterly glued to this video and your wonderful comments - straight from the heart. You are a brilliant photographer. A really stunning country but sorry to say..... not even close to what New Zealand has to offer. Many, many thanks for sharing. From New Zealand. (OK, Yes... just slightly bias !) People are wonderful and bikers are a really "special" breed.

I gotta comment again. I grew up on the back of my Dad's motorcycle as a kid, touring the US. This video has really inspired me to get out there and take a long tour this summer....I shared it with my Dad who is now 78 and it almost brought us to tears remembering the amazing times we shared together. Amazing video sir, hope to see you on the road one day. Keep up the amazing work!

It's the absolute best, heartfelt video I have ever been blessed to watch. As a veteran and battling stage 4 colon cancer. I take in every minute I am blessed to ride. I absolutely felt this. I'm jealous and thankful for you!!!
Thank you John. Please continue to fight this battle with everything you have. 🤙🏻👊🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Sir for sharing your experiences I always look forward to your films. You make us all feel like we are right there with you in the moment with you. Look forward to what 2024 bring you. God Bless!!
Thank you Paul. I appreciate you taking the time to watch these films.
Thanks so much for doing this! I completed a 24 day - 13,900 km ride this summer from Atlantic Canada to Ocean Shores, WA (return) via two Canadian provinces and 26 US States. We shared some of the same roads and your documentary brought back many fond memories of my 2023 summer rider..well done!
Wow! That sounds like an epic trip. Thanks for giving this film a look. Be safe. 🤙🏻
Awesome film, man❗️I say that because your content like this is way more than just a video. I've been waiting for this one! Beautifully put together! I don't know who could watch it only once. Thanks for sharing this.. and thanks for using your talent to highlight our amazing motorcycle community!
Thank you. I really appreciate the support.
You have a way with words and you even got me emotional - “it’s just you and the bike soaking in the experience as you discover new places” I’ve felt that. Winters in Maine are sad times for a motorcycle rider but this video helps.
***Please write a book one day.****
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this film. I really appreciate this comment. I wish you all the best in 2024.
You have the. Production quality of a Channel with 1mm subs, I figure I’m in here early before rest of them get on board. Subbed.
Awe...Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it as this is a very nice comment. Please feel free to share this film with your inner circle or with anyone who you think might enjoy it. Be safe.
Im here in Australia packing my shit but still undecided whether to take off or not with your video playing in tbe background. Its been a rough few weeks. Kinda know it will probably do me good but just stuck in my own head. Thanks for the inspiration. Im about 80% there. Oh and did i mention its bloody hot!
Hello Steve. I hope your next trip brings you peace. Be safe and I thank you for watching this film. 🤙🏻
@@FullThrottleHOGThanks mate. It did. I got back yesterday.
I was in your video, I was riding with Adam. I did meet you and I hope to meet you again, 2024 my son and I are riding from Wisconsin to Maine and down to Virginia. Your movie was fantastic, I loved it
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the film. A father/son trip is absolutely heartwarming to me. My father and I would always talk about riding motorcycles across the country but it never happened. He's too old now and we missed our window. Best wishes to you in 2024.
Thank you for inspiring me to get my first Harley Davidson!
Oh wow! Congrats. Creating inspiration is probably the best compliment I can get. Be safe and all the best in 2024.
Oh man. There aren’t many videos on UA-cam that I can watch for 50 minutes without being distracted, but I watched this in one go. I was sucked in! You made a great movie brother. Love from the Netherlands!
Hello there! Thank you so much for giving this film a look. I really appreciate you being here. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Bed bed ridden with a knee injury and just watched this amazing documentary. This really made me want to get back on my bike and ride.....stay safe out there Brother
I wish you a speedy recovery. I appreciate you watching this film. Be safe and I hope you have a great 2024.
Ryan, I absolutely loved this epic! Most captivating for me was your rides through Montana and (tops for me) the Redwood Forest. The last time I went through Montana was in 1993 while I was on leave. And my last trip through the Redwood Forest was in early 1979, when I was 15, when my dad and I were the advanced party for my family’s move from L.A. to western Washington. Definitely brought back memories.
This whole video also made me reminiscent of my 2023. Both my wife and I rode (all from Colorado) to…
-Key West in April
-Flagstaff in May
-an Iron Butt to Kansas City, Des Moines, Cheyenne, and back home in June
-Moab in July (hot!)
-South (mostly) and North Dakota in September
-and Los Angeles in October to visit grandkids
We hope to have a decent 2024 riding, but I hope that 2025 will be bigger, more epic than we’ve had previously. I only wish I had the talent and wherewithal to document it like you do. Your cinematography and storytelling is first class. 👍🏻
Thank you for watching this film. Sounds like you had an amazing 2023 as well. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
@@FullThrottleHOG Thank you. And to you as well!
I’m 64 and retiring in April. Been riding since ‘77 and there’s nothing better than being on the road just you and the bike. Now I have more time to go farther and longer. And you are right, every morning when on the road is as exciting as the first day. Thanks for the great story.
Amen brother. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the film and I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
Just got home and saw the last part of this video. It looked awesome. Definitely going to rewatch it, and I can't wait to see the entire video. Great job Ryan!
Thank you! Hopefully you can circle back with your thoughts on it. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it.
In the 90's rode many miles in England, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Portugal. Then in 2007 Started to visit the USA and visited thirteen states. Love it. Take care brother from England.
I appreciate you being here and taking the time to watch this film. I hope to get over the pond and ride in your neck of the woods one of these days. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻. Be safe.
You picked my favorite photo to frame as well. Good job with the content and how it was presented. Instant like and subscribe.
Thank you. That photo might just be my favorite of all time. I appreciate you watching the film and I wish you all the best in 2024.
Absolutely amazing. It is nothing short of remarkable how you catch the spirit and freedom of being on a bike and the feeling of the open road. Your spirit comes through on all of your videos and this one was no different. Always makes my blood start flowing and reminds me why we do what we do. Can't wait for the snow to melt and once again feel the sun on my face and hit the road to explore this beautiful country that you captured so brilliantly once again! Thanks for another amazing video brother! Ride safe and ride free!
Thank you Shannon. I appreciate you. I hope that spring comes early for you.
Fantastic video very best wishes from germany.
Thank you Peter. I appreciate you being here.
it was a really great film just made my day!💜
Thank you 🙏🏼. I appreciate you watching.
Just Awesome Ryan. Keep up the great work. See ya on the road. Again somewhere
Thanks Greg...I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Be safe.
Brother, couldn’t wait for this drop from you. Can’t believe I missed the pre-drop party, but I enjoyed playing that back before I watched this documentary. I wanted two hours of it! I just sat and reflected when it finished, all too fast it concluded. Couldn’t come up with anything to share following; I was just resting in the moment, so to speak. Slept on it, and the next morning, Adam’s comment “I’m at home on the road” (I may have paraphrased that a bit), really resonated with me. All that genuine Community you engaged with, in all your travels, state to state. The events, the diners, the gas pumps, out riding with some you just met, yet feels like the best of friends. In this world today, more than ever before, we NEED community. We’re meant to be in community. Many lost community during the COVID mess; many never got that community back, community that took many a lifetime to be surrounded with. Your video shows the impact of community, how quick it comes together within our circle, and most definitely will inspire many to get off the couch and join us. Thanks buddy to you and yours for the sweat equity, the time away from home, from each other at times, pulling this together for us all. Appreciate your leading the charge.
Awe, thank you man. I really appreciate this thought out comment. You are correct, it is all about the community and I just feel blessed to be accepted by it. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
That was amazing! Your videos inspire me to attempt to do great things. Nashville isn’t far from home so I sure hope to cross paths if you’re ever in Tennessee. This community appreciates you very much Ryan!
Thanks Ty. I appreciate the support. We definitely need to meet up. Be safe.
Your right - each year the time goes by faster. I just got back into riding 63 years old bought a 2014 Chieftain. Love riding the driftless area of Wi. and up and down the Mississippi. Great videos am now a subscriber
Hello John! Welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the film. Congrats on getting back on the bike and I wish you the best in 2024.
Great review of your 2023 videos. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Looking forward to what’s in store for 2024.
Thank you, I appreciate you taking a moment to watch.
That peace within peace reminded me of Emerald lake BC 🇨🇦 last year on holiday with my family, I’ll never forget it. I’d love to do that trip again on 2 wheels from Calgary to Vancouver… absolutely stunning scenery.. I live in Ireland but my heart belongs to the rockies.
I’ll be back sometime 🏍️
Thank you for the tip! I’ll have to check that out. Be safe. 🤙🏻
That was an absolutely breathtaking film. I've been capturing my motorcycle journey with my husband the last few years and have hoarded content; I am just starting to dig into the nuances of organizing and editing it for my own channel. Not only was I impressed by the 'technical' portions of your film but also by the way you captured the emotions of traveling on two wheels. We have yet to ride the West Coast (we are in NY) but man did it feel like I was there. I've seen the same areas you traveled from other videos but the well written script combined with the editing made it that much better. Thank You! Looking forward to more of your content and inspiring me to capture as much as I can of my journey as well. 🤘💜This is a masterpiece.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film and for this comment. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
I grew up with bikers and I know they can be some of the warmest friends. Looking forward to contributing to this wonderful community now that I have a bike of my own. Cheers from East Tennessee
It is the best out there for sure. Welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to watch this film. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
San Diego, best climate in the United States... Huh? A snowstorm while riding out of there. That kind of stuff happens to me way too often on bike trips but I swear it wasn't my fault, I was nowhere near San Diego that day. 😉 Thank you for this fabulous film and we appreciate the effort it took.
See you down the road!
Thank you for taking the time to watch. Yeah, that weather sucked for sure. Be safe.
This is a great video that describes why I love riding motorcycle so much and why it makes my soul happy and why it helps with my mental health issues.
People ask me what I do for a living and I tell them that I'm a truck driver. Then they ask me if I like it and truthfully I don't, it's a mundane, looked down upon and not appreciated. Every single thing you use in daily live gets hauled by a truck and someone like me drives it, let that sink in.
The reason I have been doing this job so long is to be able to have the financial means to be able to do things like this, which makes the job worth it to make my soul happy every single second I'm on two wheels. Including the good and the bad experiences on a motorcycle.
Awesome video and thank you for making it! This describes the thoughts in my head while I'm riding and going on a trip.
I live in Montana and riding Hwy 12 west is truly phenomenal, that was one of my favorite rides from Missoula to the coast in Oregon.
Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to watch this film. Keep making the time to get out there on the open road as its good for the soul, and mental health. I'll be up in Montana again this summer and can't wait to hit up Highway 12 again. Be safe and I wish you all the best in 2024.
@@FullThrottleHOG if you get to Billings and have some extra time on your trip I would love to meet up and say Hi, and possibly show you a couple things you might not have ridden yet. Thanks for the reply and all the best to you as well.
Man, I envy you. I've been wanting to do a road trip. But I've been too busy with work. I know we only live once and have to live for the day like there's no tomorrow. Thanks for your videos it is inspiring and giving me motivation to my own travels on my scooter.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the film and for the comment. I wish you nothing but the best in 2024.
