  • I tried to upload this video a couple different times now, turns out rural America does not have the fastest uploads speeds.
    North Carolina was not all that different from Virginia, once I got out more towards western NC it started to turn to more farms with a lot of beautiful valleys.
    I am continuing through GA and TN in the next video, stay tuned! Thanks for watching

    great adventure. I like the music you use in the background. Do you have plans for any more adventures and more videos like this soon?

    You're the man brother, you inspire all of us in our mid 30-40's married men with Dad bods to get on craigslist to search for the right adventure bike while slowly droping hints to the wife.

    I curious. Do you power your GoPro from an external source? I know the goPro battery doesn't last long. You would be stopping all the time to change the battery. Also, how are you keeping your laptop charged?

      I charged everything from bike power. Large battery bank & laptop would charge during the day when I was riding and at night i'd charge the GoPro, bluetooth unit, etc. off of the battery bank. I used the GoPro in one click record mode. So I would just push the record button randomly whenever I thought about it, recorded usually 1 min clips at least 2 an hour.

    It been two to three years since you posted any videos. I have to say that, in my opinion there have been NO videos as entertaining as the videos you put. Unbelievable that no one can speak as normal story telling events. Hope you are all doing well!

      Thanks for the kind words! I’ve been living in a self converted cargo van for a year. It wasn’t the best lifestyle for me and my partner, so it was hard to record and be honest. But i’ve recorded a couple videos still of our last couple months. I hope to post those before the end of the year. Working to sell the campervan now so we can create a more stable life. And therefore create a lot more content!

      @DaddyEric222  4 роки тому

      I used my phone for navigation. Using the MotionX GPS app. I also had a Garmin InReach for satellite communication.

    All but the Piedmont of NC are good places to ride.. I've been around Asheville and Spruce Pine(basically the whole west mountain region) a lot on the same bike.. GA, SC, FL, AR are way better IMO
