Great vid! Couple things; overtaking a vehicle - or multiple vehicles on a twisty road with double yellow diving lines is extremely unsafe. If you are riding with a group, ride your own ride. If they want to peel away at ‘warp 6’, let ‘em go. Especially if you don’t know the roads and the attitude of local law enforcement. Sorry if I sound a bit preachy, comes with age and experience. Oh yeah, everything is bigger in the US, sandwiches and RVs are two examples. 😄
Fun video to watch, and a warm welcome to the USA! I don't live anywhere near California but there's still a comradery between motorcyclists in this great country. And yes, that policeman certainly made that stop about as problem-free as one could imagine.
Welcome to UA-cam Ellie! I remember getting totally confused filling up with gas the first time I visited the states, you aren’t the only one. I love your commentary, I can’t wait to see more! 😁👊
Thank you! They’re a lot of fun 😌 I’ve had some issues with my footage from LA, but I’m heading back to Cali in a few weeks and uploading my EU footage in the meantime!
Cool footage! enjoyed watching it and listening to the relaxed narrating, You sound really humble too! None of that look at me being popular social media bs doodoo =D It almost feels as if you're just sharing your travel story's with a friend! that's cool, so I subscribed!
Great little video of your trip. I loved North California. The forests, mountains and coast are gorgeous. Hung out in Mendocino area. Like to carry on up through Oregon and Washington State next time. Enjoy. Stay safe.
Awesome! I moved from South west England to FL a few years ago but i'm so jealous of your trip and i will start planning mine soon. I miss the corners!!
What a lovely vid and voice for commentary ... enjoyed the moment - thanks for sharing. Next trip you must try here in Aust - magnificent riding country... Go Well mate...
@@EllieBikes I’m from Adelaide and we have the perfect blend of coast and hills twisties along the Fleurieu Peninsular for a day’s outing. However, the Eastern seaboard is where the real riding is at. Check out the Great Ocean Road in Victoria or the Blue Mountain Ranges in NSW… But if your gonna visit Oz, start in Vic and head North to Far North Queensland - early Autumn OR mid Spring would be the perfect month for a moto-tour. Go Well, Stay upright and keep living life chook! (and bring on part II!).. ;)
Bodega bay is my favorite place. Haven’t seen it in years. I live in Folsom, near sac. Rider less than one year, so it’ll be a while. One day, though. You are fortunate.
Just past Jenner is the best twisties on the Cali coast, the Sonoma Coast. At the North end of hwy1 is my favorite section of hwy1, from the water to Leggett. North on 101 past Leggett is the Avenue of the Giants. That is the place you want to go if you want to see Redwoods. Santa Cruz mtns. do have some good redwoods too but no first growth forest. You should rent my bike next time you in the BayArea, LOL.
You only pay bridge toll going south. Don't stop. just ride through where you'd expect a booth. it photographs your plate and bike owner has about 30 days to pay
@@EllieBikes I'm an ex rider from the UK (40 years) and I never once met a police officer like the one that pulled your group over. In the UK motorcyclists were regarded as criminals on a par with rapists and murderers!
Awesome video. Keep riding and be safe. I haven't ridden since 2014 and miss it. Going cross country on a motorcycle is definitely on my bucket list. The only thing I'd say about this video is don't pass on double yellow solid lines. Most people don't expect to be passed since it's not a passing lane. Only dash lines are for passing.
@@EllieBikes Oh I do plan on it. It's that I'm at a point in my life that buying a motorcycle would be a toy for me, but right now it's not a priority.
as a biker in america the one thing you can usually count on is other bikers are kinda like family whether you know them or not, if you are parked along side the road sometime it's totally normal for another biker to stop and see if you need help. there have been times when a bike would go flying past me when i was in a parking lot working on my bike and the rider turned around and came back to make sure i was ok, we stick together and take care of each other here, even if your not from here, if you are on a bike then you are family. Also just so you know,, you got very lucky that day, the only reason you didn't get a ticket is because there were to many of you for just one highway patrol to handle by himself and there wasn't any assisting officers available to come help him, also in case no one told you, in a lot of california, getting a ticket for anything over 89 miles per hour can be a very expensive thing.....
Great video, however, you were constantly passed cars when there are two double lines. You cannot do that in the US on a motorcycle, if caught, you won't get a warning, you will get a ticket. California is the only state in US that allows lanes splitting. You laughed it off in a response to previous caution, but drive safely. Your life and perhaps a family out for drive coming the other way depends on you using good judgement. Just take it as friendly advice since California is 1.7and US is 40 times larger than Great Britain and you decide to come back again explore more of our country. Like to ride roads with curves, the Tail of the Dragon on the border of Tennessee and South Carolina has 318 curves in 11 miles.
2015 Flew into Boston and solo'd across the States on a Harley...was an amazing experience, through cities, mountains & deserts. Made it to Las Vegas, with the intention of heading to LA then whole West coast up to Seatle...but got into a accident in Vegas and broke my legs...but did 5000miles up until that point. Thanks for the upload..was amazing watching the views that I would've taken... :) Will complete one day... **Subbed btw.
Oh wow that does sound amazing! I’d love to go coast to coast sometime. Sorry to hear about your injury 😢 hope the recovery wasn’t too bad! Thanks for the subscription!
They were stunning! Tbh while totally different, it wasn’t much effort to get used to. I’ve driven in Europe a bunch too, which is also very different driving to England 🙌
I am not quite certain if you have been informed but; double yellow likes signify 'do not pass". I was afraid for you being cited as I watched you pass those markings many times! Enjoy and, 'Good Rides'
Great video Ellie and thanks for sharing your journey. As someone from the UK I do remember how challenging it was filling up with "gas" over there the first time 🤣 How easy was it to hire a bike over there? I ride an Aprilia RS660 here.
People who watch videos with bikes want to hear the bike when you ride. Not a lousy music choice or chatting with no or low audible bike sounds. Model it after ichyboots and you will get over a million. She doesn't make enough videos which is why I am here. Get a mic on your helmet. Not sure why she is the only woman to do that. The world is open to you. Just trying to help and get the content I'm looking for. Can't STAND pc/propaganda TV shows/talk shows/media anymore. Looking for alternatives. Awesome ride. Would watch it every day. Thanks
I’m working on the audio for my next trip 😁 I didn’t realise people would like my videos haha, so didn’t put much effort into capturing footage Thanks for the positive feedback!

Nice video. Can't wait to see part 2!
It was an absolute pleasure meeting and riding with you!
Thank you! I’ll get something up soon - likewise, hope we can ride again soon! ☺️

Thank you!! Haha yes, it's super confusing! Then the little thing you have to push back confused me for a while too 🤣 Should be more soon :D
Great first video Ellie, keep making them 👍
Thank you! Will do!
I definitely wanna see part 2! It was so lovely to meet you and ride together. Hope we can do it again!
Yay! I’ll get something sorted soon 😁 Thank you, you too! We definitely will do ☺️

The yellow double line and speed limits are there for a reason!

Great little video of your trip. I loved North California. The forests, mountains and coast are gorgeous. Hung out in Mendocino area. Like to carry on up through Oregon and Washington State next time. Enjoy. Stay safe.
Thank you, glad you liked it! Doing the whole length of the coast sometime would be amazing!
Awesome! I moved from South west England to FL a few years ago but i'm so jealous of your trip and i will start planning mine soon. I miss the corners!!
Omg, so cool! You totally should do!

Love it ! I live in Bodega Bay, you rode through it heading to Jenner :D thanks for visiting ride by again someday, bring more friends
Oh!!! I loved that part! I'm actually coming back fairly soon :D

Great content. Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've just stumbled upon your channel. Instantly subscribed without even watching this film! Something tells me, this is going to be a good channel 👍😊
Awww thank you! Appreciate it, hope you like what you see!
Fun video

I'll try those next time! I am going back soon :D I did Highway 9 + the Santa Cruz mountains too, they were great fun
This was really cool. And I don't even ride bikes!
I subscribed - nice to learn of you Welcome to the USA
Thank you! Roads are awesome over there 😌
You only pay bridge toll going south. Don't stop. just ride through where you'd expect a booth. it photographs your plate and bike owner has about 30 days to pay
ohhhh I see! thank you
That was a super chill police officer. Lucky you!
Ikr! Definitely lucked out

Tolls on the Golden Gate Bridge are only when you go into the city. Enjoy your travels
ahhh I see! Going back in a few weeks so good to know. Thank you!

Honda cr1000r🤩
🤘🤘🤘
As promised... Sleeping early and waking early means getting off work early lol.... Loved the Video.... Riding on those roads must be amazing...
Thank you! Yes they were amazing, some of the best I've ever ridden!
An aspiring motorcyclist here 😇♥️
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You absolutely cannot rely on fuel pump color. Your experience is the norm but not law and it can and does vary by brand in some regions in the US.
Excellent video…Beautiful ocean views.. Driving in England is so different. Was it difficult getting use to our roads?
They were stunning! Tbh while totally different, it wasn’t much effort to get used to. I’ve driven in Europe a bunch too, which is also very different driving to England 🙌
Nice video
3:17
Nice. Very pretty.
subscribed.
awesome! thank you for the support 🙌
I want to see 2. Ducati through Los Angeles would be awesome. Some music added would be nice too.
Thanks! I’ll try and sort it soon 😊 been so busy lately 😴
I am not quite certain if you have been informed but; double yellow likes signify 'do not pass". I was afraid for you being cited as I watched you pass those markings many times!
Enjoy and, 'Good Rides'
Great video Ellie and thanks for sharing your journey. As someone from the UK I do remember how challenging it was filling up with "gas" over there the first time 🤣 How easy was it to hire a bike over there? I ride an Aprilia RS660 here.
Hahah yes, it's weird right!? Super easy! And also very cheap :) I used Twisted Road and Riders Share, both are good!
Double Yellow lines mean 'DO NOT PASS' in the USA!
Cool video. How was the CB1000R on the trip?
It was a lot of fun! Comfy and plenty of power, but maybe a little tame
Double solid yellow line = no passing. Rushing through defeats the purpose, slow down and enjoh the ride. Not a suggestion just a realization...
Its weird to drive on the right side...😅...
very weird!
Ride safe 😀
Your moto waifu friends aren’t you you should go and watch the tt in the Isle of Man 🇮🇲
Haha I am! I’d love to! Maybe next year
Ellie we would like to see you please. Please make your videos more personal. You will see a massive increase of views. Good luck.
I’m going on another trip soon and will definitely be working on this!
