When I'm riding with a woman - whatever she wants - she gets it. I was in Helen Georgia in October 2024. Pretty cool place. I said it before, we are going to have to go riding one of these days. I'm in middle Georgia and I ride all over every chance I get. I really like your videos. Great job. Cheyenne. American Legion Rider...
@ check out Lucille’s Mountaintop Inn and Spa sometime when you do the Helen thing. It’s a nice little boutique inn without the crowds 5-10 mins from town.
Great video of our area. Have been all around but for some reason haven’t been to Helen this year. Cool shot of Main Street at night! Very cool 😎 keep smiling and stay safe!
I have seen a couple of other motorcycle Channels feature Helen. I have it saved on my phone as a motorcycle destination. It looks very nice for a Tourist Trap. I have never been to Gatlinburg TN either. My Sister worked for a Water Ski Show Company near there one summer. I have been to Europe 3 times snow skiing. Riding up the chairlifts I met friendly nice people from all over the World, most could speak pretty good English. The only people that I met who were not friendly to the point of being Rude were Germans. In Germany driving on the Autobahn, I have never seen more Polite and Curious Drivers. Driving down the highway at 90 MPH you put on your turn signal and other drivers will flash their headlights and give you room to change lanes. If you put on your Turn signal in Michigan often times people will floor it and cut you off so you can't change lanes to get to the turn lane or exit. I started riding a street bike again in 2017. Being aware and cautious of all of the people who text and drive ect I was worried that 4 wheelers might not give a two wheeler any leeway. Turns out most of the time people gave my motorcycle a bit of extra room and leeway. That is until I got into morning Rush hour in Detroit. No one would give an inch they were tailgating and would not let me change lanes. Made me wish I was driving a large truck or a big beater car I would rub fenders with them.
@@Hogdriver88 only a billion degrees? that’s pretty cool for Georgia standards 😆 I enjoy Helen every time I go there. Next time, try Fall for Oktoberfest or even Christmas.
I used my motorcycle for errands and Transportation over the weekend here in Michigan 41-F. Still no heated Vest or Neck gator used. I passed a Cruiser bike in the City. The guy pulled up next to me at a red light on a Honda Shadow 450. He was grinning ear to ear, he said it was his first day on the motorcycle he got it that day. He said he loves riding. They are predicting snow and below freezing temperatures this week here in Michigan.
@@Sowatha13 I told you about meeting the rider who was riding his new to him bike for the first time because I know you have a Riding School. Friday I rode my Motorcycle 8 miles to the small Town of Scotts MI where My Grandfather grew up for the Memorial of my 88 Year old 2nd Cousin. Then I went X more miles down the highway into the City to get some Groceries at Sam's Club. At the Memorial my 3rd Cousin invited me to a Birthday party at a Sports Bar for Saturday. The Party had been planned as a Birthday for Both my Second and 3rd Cousin Father and Son that is since they both have November Birthdays, but my Cousin passed away while working outside trying to start his Motor Home with his Grandson helping him. My Third Cousin had a Stoke 10 years ago while at the Breakfast Table on a Snowmobile Vacation in Northern MI. He lost the use of his Right Arm and his Left Leg which really leaves him stuck in a bed. His Wife takes care of him all day long every day. His wife was known to be a bit crazy. At the Memorial I thought she looked a lot better, more normal more alert. She told me that she had stopped drinking 2 years ago. Her drinking had gotten so bad that she had to commit herself to a rehab. Anyway, now that she does not drink at all she is doing night and day better and takes really good care of her Husband.

@@Sowatha13 I took one year of French in High School. I can read a little but can't speak it. Not really one year more like 1 hour per day 5 days per week for 5 months. My Uncle took both French and Spanish and could still speak it 40 years later. I had plans to buy and Adventure Bike and ride it to Alaska to visit my Uncle, but he passed way from Prostrate Cancer. He never answered his Land Line and no Answering machine. I had planned to write him a snail mail letter, then I learned he had passed away. He went to College on a Full Musical Scholarship. In AK he worked as a Surveyor such as on the Alaskan Pipe line. He was into Running and Mountain Bike Riding and snowshoeing. He won the Equinox Marathon then 30 years later he won his age group. Two of his good running friends Mother & Son were killed by a Grizzly while running in the Chugiak State Forrest. You are actually not supposed to Run in Bear County, it make the Bear then you are Pray like a running Deer ect.
@@Sowatha13 It's 34-F this morning, I am going to put a heated bed in the shed my ferrule cat lives in and a heated water dish. My Cat lives very good. He never even learned that I have a pet door for cats in my front door and a Dog door that I closed off in the back door. Since he has never lived indoors, I don't think he knows that is missing anymore luxuries.
@@Sowatha13 I saw a flash of fur in the Spring about 3 years ago run into my dog pen that had an open door. I walked over to investigate. It was a small teen aged cat he was bounding off from the fence to get away from me, so I left so he could get away. I did not know that Cat was still around until it snowed and I saw cat Tracks in the snow. So there was a Summer and Fall that I never fed him. I started feeding on around Thanksgiving and he finally got tame enough to let me pet him on Valentines day. He was a very small and skinny cat for his Age. He has since grown quite a lot and now he has his thick winter fur. Since Raccoons were getting into shed through the pet door and knocking the feeder off the shelf spilling the feed and water and pooping on everything, I started feeding him daily from a dish . Now he waits for me by the back door every morning to feed him. Sometimes this Summer I would only see him every other day.
@@edwardbegiebing6036 for one, I don’t think he can handle my weight and second, I don’t think his wife would approve and third, I don’t think I would be comfortable getting on someone’s shoulders unless I dated them.
@@Sowatha13 I only say that cause my friend was really short and we got to parade late and i put her on my shoulders so she could see. FYI your so tiny... DO you know if Helene is like that all year round ??
@@edwardbegiebing6036 that was nice of you to help your vertically challenged friend. Helen is fun year around it seems, but more so on weekends or during Oktoberfest from September thru October, then around the Christmas.
You should experience Dahlonega during the Christmas season! It's like a Christmas movie come to life (in fact, at least 3 movies had scenes filmed there).
Good Evening Lovely Lady, Lordy I miss riding Georgia! I've been on the phone with a customer that wants to rally next year but needs work done first. I'm recommending your videos because I enjoy your brand of riding. As a recovering alcoholic I have my reasons for avoiding large crowds especially of drinkers but the beer fests of Germany I always enjoyed. I miss the potato stands where you could have a baked potato filled with your favorites and it was a meal. All the things I have fallen in love with as I traveled the world can be found here in America. Yes I am including you my friend! Please keep sharing your rides and trips, you are an inspiration for riders looking for more than a Friday bike night at their local dealer. I'm not one for using the computer to find fests but I have marked my calendar for that time of year in Georgia. Just like riding the foliage tour in the north east, the end of summer does not mean the end of a riding season. Here in Missouri the temps were slightly below freezing when I headed out and dropped 17 degrees before i got myself and the bike home but it was terrific and I did see two other riders today. REMEMBER; if it's above freezing and dry roads, just dress correct and enjoy the ride. Thank You very much Miss Sowatha, my friend, I look forward to part 2. Queen will be sitting beside me again as we watch that one very soon. With Love and Respect, you are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Nice to see that you had such a good time at this fun Bavarian event in good company. The weather was beautiful, so many things to see and try, especially the food. I don't know how you could try all these different food and still be able to eat dinner after, it must have been very good.
@@Sowatha13 you are very entertaining to watch because you are so full of life and very curious to discover everything. I love your captions in the video, excellent editing!
@that’s so sweet and it means a lot that you appreciate the editing considering I spent a ridiculous amount of time on it. I’m curious about everything and extremely silly hence the riding nickname: “teenager” 😂
I've never heard of this place. You are making it difficult for me to decide on a new motorcycle. My Triumph/ Royal Enfield dealership had to replace my rear tire tube because they pinched it replacing the tires. They have a leftover 23 1200 Rally Expedition ,same color as yours, on a clearance sale. $6k off sticker. It's a tall bike for my 5'9" height, but watching you ride, I think I can handle it. The BMW GS 1250 IS $9K More than this bike. I can do a lot of traveling for that amount of money. It's got the 30 liter extended fuel tank. My friends Daughter just moved to Germany. I'm not a beer drinker ( or any drink ) but that festival looks really fun. I might have to go next year. Looks really fun. Great video
@@JohnDavis-ol7qg I love my triumph tiger but I just saw a UA-cam video about a guy who complained about some of triumph’s manufacturing issues, so maybe do more research about it. Helen is fun but of course better with a festival 😊
@Sowatha13 A childhood friend on Facebook just posted they were in Helen GA today and went on some rail car ride. I was like wow, a place not far from me and a place I've never heard about until I saw your video and now she's there today. I told her to watch your video. Yes, I've been looking at videos on the Triumph compared to the BMW GS1250. Saving $9,000 compared to a GS is nice. Only issues I see is cost of 20k valve adjustment service and the fact of dropping it would be much harder for me to pick up. I've watched girls pick up a GS Because they only fall at a 45° angle. $19,000 for a new 23 Triumph Tiger Rally Expedition with the 8 gallon tank and loaded is a really good price
@ indeed it’s a very good price. I’m sure you could pick up that triumph if you dropped it. It’s all about technique. Do you follow doodle on motorcycle? She practiced picking hers up hundreds of times. I hope your friends enjoy Helen as much as I did.
@Sowatha13 it is about 30-40 lbs lighter than the BMW. I do watch Doodle videos. It does have a nice set of crash bars I can use to move it. I looked at the 900 like you have and both bikes were equipped with optional low seat. For $2k more for the 1200 is a better deal. It's the white/ flat black. I've been watching a lot of GS1250 comparison to the Triumph 1200 videos today. The Rally Expedition was aimed at being a better bike than the GS. I also like that it's a 3 year unlimited milage warranty compared to the 3/36 BMW warranty
@Sowatha13 oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoyed the holiday. I have been watching some of your older videos of you going to visit your mom. That's so sweet. I know she must have been so happy to see you
Thank you for the reply. Binge watching! LOL. I lived in Northern Thailand for a while after my career in the Military, almost fluent in Thai. Funny story, I had a French Captain approach me in the Middle East wanting something. He had a Cambodian soldier driver. He asked me if I spoke French I did not, (Thai and German only) and I asked if he spoke German, (he did not) I asked the driver where he was from to which he replied Cambodia, I asked him if he spoke Thai, he did, So an American spoke Thai to a Cambodian to ask a Frenchman what he wanted in the Middle East. Small world. Thanks for great content!
@@independentcontractor1633 you just cracked me up with that story 😂 We left when I was one years old bc of the Khmer rouge and I grew up in France for 19 years. So technically, I am French Cambodia lol
I use an app called Relive. It’s very easy to use but you have to remember to turn it on when you start your journey or turn it off when you get to your destination, pause during long breaks and remember to restart it. I usually tend to forget all that 😂
@ I just checked out your channel and subscribed. I just watched the vid where you ran out of gas and the vid about packing and planning. Good motovlog style and will be watching more of your videos during this holiday weekend.
Food in Germany Sucks! Even Wiener Schnitzel gets old after a few days. The only good news is Beer is cheaper than Coke. Christmas Markets are awesome and very lively.
@@Boxer1250RT I’ve never been to Germany, but I’ve heard the same thing. I’m sure there are some of our food they can’t stand as well 😬. If their Christmas markets are like in France and Italy, then I agree as well, they are awesome and fun.
@@Sowatha13 Very similar except the food. Food is so much better in France and Italy Christmas markets. I didn't even know there was a town like Helen in the US. Cheers.

I use an app called Relive. It’s very easy to use but you have to remember to turn it on when you start your journey or turn it off when you get to your destination, pause during long breaks and remember to restart it. I usually tend to forget all that 😂
@@Sowatha13niceee thank you! I’ll start using that for my vlogs lol
@ I just checked out your channel and subscribed. I just watched the vid where you ran out of gas and the vid about packing and planning. Good motovlog style and will be watching more of your videos during this holiday weekend.
@ thanks girl. Where do I find music for your videos? Most of the ones I used were copyrighted…
@ epidemic sound. You will never have copyright issues. I’ve had my share of it and it’s just a waste of time.
Watch party? That’s a new
Hey, it’s new to me too 😂. The more the merrier.
Did I miss the wedding? Did you guys get married??? lol
You didn’t the invite? Tomasz’s wife was in charge of inviting you 🤷♀️
Food in Germany Sucks! Even Wiener Schnitzel gets old after a few days. The only good news is Beer is cheaper than Coke. Christmas Markets are awesome and very lively.
@@Boxer1250RT I’ve never been to Germany, but I’ve heard the same thing. I’m sure there are some of our food they can’t stand as well 😬. If their Christmas markets are like in France and Italy, then I agree as well, they are awesome and fun.
@@Sowatha13 Very similar except the food. Food is so much better in France and Italy Christmas markets. I didn't even know there was a town like Helen in the US. Cheers.
@@Boxer1250RTmaybe plan a trip to Helen for Oktoberfest and avoid the German food? 😅
