Hello friend! It is always a pleasure to be able to accompany you, from Brazil, through these beautiful landscapes in your country. The howls of wolves sound like a welcome message to their territories. Gratitude!
Kudos to you. This is the best ADV series I have watched during Covid. Amazing for a one man show. The earlier stuff is so good. Stuff I will never get the chance to do but I can live it vicariuosly thru these vids
You are the coyote whisperer.... ;-) I have to say I've really enjoyed this series. I've led dozens of group adv rides over the past 13 years, but only done a few solo trips during that time. You've reminded me how uniquely rich and rewarding a solo trip can be. Thank You Sterling!
Beautiful video. Well shot and directed. Like the first part without any music or dialogue. Put the whole comping experience in context. Love your work. You are an inspiration. Thank you
Another great episode....I’m gonna hate to see this end, but you likely will make it home in the next video. THANKS so much for sharing your adventure....NO doubt your videography was a BID endeavor an work!
Just love your "no nonsense" videos, beautiful country and your journey so well documented. Dropping my bike is my greatest fear (my age and treatment for "the Big C" have greatly reduced my strength) you did so well in your recovery, Luckily, both times I dropped mine recently, I had assistance to get it back up, not sure if there is any way I could manage on my own like you did. Guess it's all part of the ADV experience. Looking forward to more of your travels 👍 ride safe.
I'm making the switch from a Yamaha Stratoliner Dlx. to a Yamaha Super Tenere this weekend. I'm looking forward to being able to ride off the beaten path like you are. Riding is keeping me sane in this crazy world of 2020 insanity. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Another beautifully done video. Great work! I am waiting for a weekend night to myself and I am going to be binging straight through a bunch of your work, love it!
I'm tempted to ride out and join you on your wandering. I typically go out for 8-9 days each year for riding and camping and didn't get to do that this year. Your videos are stirring the longing. I love it so.
able to ride unaccompanied like you do and still enjoying stuffed mushrooms swordfish and a cold beer you definitely know how to pack those coyotes sounded close
As a guy who has never camped once in my life (my idea of "roughing it" is a hotel with no room service! lol), I'm amazed at the tools available for cooking, and the variety of great foods you are eating! You are eating better than I do at home usually. I really like that little Firebox stove, too. Such a great setup you have. Love the videos!
Great series of videos. I ride a 990 and can't wait to try something like your trip. Don't you ever worry about running out of gas while exploring all those back roads..
Honestly Ive never carried extra fuel or needed it in all of my years of riding. I get about 200 mile range which cuts it close sometimes, but with good awareness of my fuel level and planning I can go just about anywhere without carrying extra fuel or running out of gas. It's very seldom that I would ride anywhere in the US for more than 200 miles without a gas station.
Great movies about your trip. I enjoy them very much. Greetings from a Africa twin driver from the Netherlands (Holland). Ps i' am very inprest by your great backcountry in the States.
Your motorcycle trip seems to be a journey on which you harmonise with nature, almost like a native American before the white man took over. Really beautiful! Looking forward to your next video.
And I’d guess that you have coyotes in the hills surrounding Bisbee as well... I can’t wait to head back there; perhaps in the next 60 days or so. Great job as usual!
Another amazing video! Have enjoyed the complete series, and found each video to be very entertaining and informative. Hope to come down and stay at the hotel some day soon to discover Bisbee, and have a beer with you both.
Beautiful video! You inspire me! I ride midrange motorcycle but I think it’s good for the similar adventure! Can you advise is any weapons needed in such solo trips?
Man, you really know how to cook in the wild, that was an awesome meal. Is that area you rode in and the campsite accessible by a street touring motorcycle? Really enjoying your videos, excellent work! Yes indeed, lots of crazy going on in the world. Your journey seems like heaven on earth to me. Keep on riding that endless highway...
It's very easy to clean cooking utensils with gravel and sand if there's no or little water. I've been doing it since I was a kid. As to washing himself and his clothing see a previous video, he shows you.
Basically just paper towels and a good wipe down. Its not perfect but it works for me and I clean everything better when I have the chance along the way or get home.
I look forward to each video in the series. I love the riding as much as the camp commentary. I’ve shared these with friends who are curious about how and why I do my own trips. I am crious why you choose jeans to ride in. Are you wearing knee/hip armor? Keep up the amazing story.
Yes, the jeans have armor in them and I simply like them for their comfort as opposed to big and baggy adventure pants, which I also use when I expect to be in bad weather.
Truly enjoy the stories. Thanks. Do you ever get fatigued where you take a day off from riding? And, now after some 21 days camping, could you have completely done away with some of the conveniences (such as chair or table), or are they must-haves?
Well I was defiantly fatigued a bit along the way as the trip progressed, but I found ways to rest and recharge along the way too. I really liked the chair and the table a lot, they make life at the end of a long day a little bit more civilized and clean. I will definitely use them again.
Love your videos and really appreciate the content and the work you’ve put into them. I do have a question about the beer you carry in. Great idea and I plan on doing that but is it not shaken up when you open it? Seems like a silly question but I’m honestly wondering if you fill it up completely or how you avoid the spew when opening up the thermos?
I do try to fill it up all the way so that there is less room to shake around. It’s still shakes up a little bit and sometimes it is difficult to twist open, but it does work pretty well. Other than that keeps things really cold all the way to the campsite.
You differ NOT at all from our fathers that came out here looking for a better life... They all did the same as you do on this trip. They rovered/wandered the land found a place to eat/rest/sleep... How cool is that!! I'm going to sub just because YOU DIFFER!!! I can't see myself gone for 3 weeks though...maybe some day...I.live in Arizona as well and guess what I own a 2019 R1250 GS HP... What a coincidence!!! Cheers brother ride safe ride long
They are BMW denim riding pants that have protective armor inside of them. Not what I always wear but I honestly prefer them in some ways to "adventure" pants that are always so big and baggy!
Have you ever shared on a video how to find the beat camp sites and lodging on a route? I am new to adv/touring. Secondly, how are you editing all of this while touring?
Website for this video: www.norenfilms.com/videos/riding-solo-21-colorado/
You really ignite that sense of wonder in me. I am aching to be out. You are a wonderful photographer & story teller. Peace
Wow, what a magical moment w/ the coyotes.
Great places to reset our life. Moments of reflection are needed. And nature is the main source of inspiration.
Hello friend! It is always a pleasure to be able to accompany you, from Brazil, through these beautiful landscapes in your country. The howls of wolves sound like a welcome message to their territories. Gratitude!
It's a good thing I had dinner just before watching your video with all that good food you made. That's the way it's done.
Now you upgraded also to coyote….. thank’s again for sharing all this beauty with us.
Awesome.. i always look forward to see what you going to cook and drink.. I pretty much do the same.. on my solo rides..
I have been following your videos series since a while now and enjoying every bit of it. You are giving me a tour of USA. Love from India.
Glad you like them! Thanks for saying 'hi'!!
These videos are so great I watched them twice.
Kudos to you. This is the best ADV series I have watched during Covid. Amazing for a one man show. The earlier stuff is so good. Stuff I will never get the chance to do but I can live it vicariuosly thru these vids

That was choice. I'm grinning ear-to-ear. You've got all of the elements in one package there.
I've never had to experience that kind of travel...but it's good and it's freedom.
Beautiful video. Well shot and directed. Like the first part without any music or dialogue. Put the whole comping experience in context. Love your work. You are an inspiration. Thank you
This and all your other videos too is just a piece of art. I LOVE IT
Another great episode....I’m gonna hate to see this end, but you likely will make it home in the next video. THANKS so much for sharing your adventure....NO doubt your videography was a BID endeavor an work!
The mood of this episode, I can relate from my past rides. I'm watching this in December, but looks like you shot this in the fall. Nice retrospect.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you ❤️ Love the howling at the end!
best motorcycle camping man ever
Cool! Excellent ! Have fun - thx for sharing!
I love sleeping in my hammock, look into a structural Ridgeline for yours and then get an underquilt! Best things I did to my hammock kit.
Getting out on a duel sport is the only thing that provides a calm to this crazy world. A fellow Arizonan, Awesome videos.Thanks.
Couldn't agree more!
Pretty freaking awesome videos. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Just love your "no nonsense" videos, beautiful country and your journey so well documented.

Thanks for another great episode
Great video Sterling👍very well done 😉
Brilliant looking fish stake, bon appitte. All looking great for a brilliant ride
Awesome Sterling!
Another great episode, thanks.
I look forward to each episode. Your videos are superb and your commentary is inspiring.
We all could use another reset moment now. What a great moment being one with your surroundings.
Great videos! I can tell that your extremely comfortable outdoors with nature. I would be scared shitless....
These are some of the most relaxed and inspirational videos. It's hard not to point my GS southwest and ride. Soon. Very soon.
I'm making the switch from a Yamaha Stratoliner Dlx. to a Yamaha Super Tenere this weekend. I'm looking forward to being able to ride off the beaten path like you are. Riding is keeping me sane in this crazy world of 2020 insanity. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Have fun!
I hope Firebox is hooking you up, they have had to have sold a ton of merch thanks to you and this series.
Sterling: Great videos!!! I really enjoy the ride, the camping and the stories!
Another beautifully done video. Great work! I am waiting for a weekend night to myself and I am going to be binging straight through a bunch of your work, love it!
Magnificent landscapes, wonderful video
Great video, best on this SOLO ride so far. Keep coming, you are doing it amazingly. Thank you very much.
Perfect way to hit that reset button, what a stunning little spot!
Another home run! I would love to sit down and talk with you for hours! Amazing!
Maybe one day!
Really like the new cinematic storyboard. Really cool. I'm really happy you got to enjoy such a great trip. Cheers!
Another great ride episode ... just love it !
awesome videos! keep up the great work!
⭕️ awesome brother, thanks for sharing this!
Swordfish and stuffed mushrooms? I don’t eat that well at home!
Awesome series can't wait to see more
Reset button I like that
I'm tempted to ride out and join you on your wandering. I typically go out for 8-9 days each year for riding and camping and didn't get to do that this year. Your videos are stirring the longing. I love it so.
Ohhh, the suspense is killing me... way to leave us hangin’ Sterling... 😎
able to ride unaccompanied like you do and still enjoying stuffed mushrooms swordfish and a cold beer you definitely know how to pack those coyotes sounded close
I felt lame for getting a little chair like that (love it) now you got me wanting one of those little table!
Nothing like the sound of coyotes to enhance an adventure trip!
awesome man, im happy i ran into your channel
Quite simply - that was superb. Sleep well 🤣🐅
Wonderful.

I want to do this exact thing when I grow up!
Very cool I love it.

I couldn’t track down and buy the GSI mini table, but found an “Alpine mini table” at Sportsman’s Warehouse. ($29) Thank you for the inspiration!
ur literally living my dream . amazing video loved every second of it
Really awesome. I love Isolated Areas.
what a lovely dinner, welldone Sterling! 👍👍
Great movies about your trip. I enjoy them very much. Greetings from a Africa twin driver from the Netherlands (Holland). Ps i' am very inprest by your great backcountry in the States.
You did good partner!!!
Love your channel
Thanks brother from India

Incredible
You're just an amazing story teller and videographer. Absolutely stunning. Always so appealing.
I guess you can talk coyote ;-) Kam
Wow, thank you!
Cool. Just cool.
Wonderful 👍🏍💨💨
I hope you make videos for a very long time. Thanks
Love this!
Sterling ! I love you.
Your ride looks great. What are the riding boots you're using I'd like to take a look at them and compare them to what I have.
Beautiful video! You inspire me! I ride midrange motorcycle but I think it’s good for the similar adventure! Can you advise is any weapons needed in such solo trips?
Also, wondering what tires you are running. Looked like Michelin’s but wasn’t sure.
Man, you really know how to cook in the wild, that was an awesome meal.
Is that area you rode in and the campsite accessible by a street touring motorcycle?
Really enjoying your videos, excellent work!
Yes indeed, lots of crazy going on in the world. Your journey seems like heaven on earth to me. Keep on riding that endless highway...
Depends... its all dirt roads but they are basically very easy to ride.
Good morning Sterling, i was expecting an episode just seconds ago
Great series. Strange question but how are you washing up and keeping your cooking gear clean?
It's very easy to clean cooking utensils with gravel and sand if there's no or little water. I've been doing it since I was a kid. As to washing himself and his clothing see a previous video, he shows you.
@@njpaddler wow, you learn something new every day
Basically just paper towels and a good wipe down. Its not perfect but it works for me and I clean everything better when I have the chance along the way or get home.
@@SterlingNoren good enough I'm sure. Thanks for all the info, great to get an insight into the details of a trip like this

“Does Sterling get eaten alive by a pack of coyotes? Tune in next time for... RIDING Solo!”

Mushroom beer motorchyhle and death vallye sounds interesting
cool
Enjoyed “tagging along” on your trip. Beautifully done. Curious to know how it was sleeping in the hammock? Did you have a backache the next morning?
They are hollowing for the sword fish
Greetings. Another great episode. Going to be sad to see it end. What jeans are you wearing? Armored? Cool enough in the heat?
They are BMW denim riding pants that have protective armor inside of them. Not what I always wear but I honestly prefer them in some ways to "adventure" pants that are always so big and baggy!
@@SterlingNoren Thanks!
What hammock are you using?
