Cheers!! Thank You for the kind words
I'm glad to see you back on two wheels. I've missed your adventures and how well you describe them. Bravo....
We are sooo glad y’all are back!! Thank you, Rich and Chris!!
My pet peeve is waiting in lines. I do not want to do that. Thanks for always showing us the good and bad. One of my favorite channels
You are so welcome!
Good to see you guys back on the road.
I live on the Olympic Peninsula. Every summer it's road work. Every winter it's landslides, sinking asphalt and flooding rivers in the spring. Campgrounds on the peninsula are booked up a year in advance. Us locals grab our tents, throw our E bikes in the 4x4 and head off on the National forestry roads. We may sleep in our vehicle or tent because the forest service roads are not RV friendly. We mostly avoid the National Park entrances because of the wait times. There are several roads accessing parts of the Olympic National Park that are unmanned and open to the public with no lines. There are rainforests in the National forest, places where you can be alone. We use our park road maps and quadrangle maps to explore. Our E Bikes are great tools to check out sketchy forest roads. Washington Dept of transportation has maps showing where all the roadwork is occurring.
Thank you both for taking time to put out a video. We miss ya and hope all is going better for you. I know now if we make it to the far northwest we will drive the park.
Sure have missed Chris’ infectious laugh.
missed you both, pleased to see you back xxx
I'm just SO glad that y'all are well. Welcome back!
I'm still amazed at how great the weather was for y'all. No wonder it was so busy. Hope y'all got a chance to enjoy the campground at least.
We did The next video is of that. Thanks
That road looked pretty much the same 5 years ago when I was riding on it as far as the traffic stops for construction
Wow, what a nice surprise to see you guys put out a new (to us) video. 👍🏽
Missed you two pray all is well !
All is awesome. Thanks
So happy to see the two of you back on the road ..bringing us the beauty of our parks and roads..
So much more patience than I have!!
Like many others have said, welcome back!!
On the bright side you toured around in a rainforest on a bright and sunny day. 🏍
Yes very true. No rain the entire time we were there
All the laughter made this video enjoyable. Making lemonade out of a lemon of a day. Thanks for sharing, that was fun. Jayman...
Glad you enjoyed it
welcome back, missed your happy informative faces. Even the lousy roads did not dampen your spirits. Ride on!
Thank you for posting this. I’ve missed you guys. Love you and keep up the vlogs!!!
Glad to see you all really been missing you guys and your channel great content, hope you all are well and doing good
Yes we are
I’m not waiting in traffic like that to get into any tourist attraction. I don’t care how awesome it is!!!
If you have reservations and that’s your destination then it’s worth it. But if you’re planning on making it a day trip then you have to factor the wait time. This is true with all the big popular parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone.
Thanks for the video and enduring the traffic. Now i know i won't go there and be frustrated with traffic. Glad your back making videos again.😊
I sure missed waiting your video travels.
More to come!
Love your vids. Great information! Good to acknowledge not every day goes as planned / expected / hoped for.
Glad you like them!
Timely seeing this. Pacific Nat'l Park is on my route next Sept. I now know what not to do. Thanks.
Yea! A new video. TX guys. Hope you are well. Ride safe!
Thank you for the video. I really enjoy tagging along on your adventures! They are always entertaining and informative. What kind of portable tire inflator is that? I love that you can check the pressure without taking it off of the valve.
Those are totally normal traffic situations over here in old northern Germany / Europe 😂
Glad you’re back again
Best wishes to both of you ☘️🙋♂️
Glad to see you guys back on UA-cam , I enjoyed watching your videos !
Welcome back. A significant difference in the quality of your presentations this time around.
what do you like about then?
Better video & audio quality ✌@@TwoWheelsBigLife
great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Yea! Great to see you again🎉
You guys have such fun videos. Love these!
Man I've missed the hech out of you two!
Next time you two are in the Olympics give me a call! We live South of the park in Aberdeen, Washington. 👍😀
I was stationed at Ft. Lewis from '76 to '78 and explored all over the area. There were far less people and cars on the road back then.
Forgot to wish the both of you a blessed and good new
year.
We attempted that same ride on a Street Glide in July 2023. Yes, you would definitely be better off with a dirt bike, or 4X4. Both road were in the same condition. Lol. We made it to the visitor's gate at the Ho Rain Forrest where they said it was at least a 1hours wait. Since it was already late in the day we left. Great video. 😊
Haven’t seen one of your videos in awhile. Looks like you scaled back on equipment
So happy that you guys are back traveling and taking us with you. Love your videos.
Glad to see you back riding, and camping. Enjoy your channel and videos.
Glad to see you two again.
It`s nice to see you again. I hope you have been doing well.
Thanks, you too!
Great to see you back getting videos out.
Thank you for sharing! Your videos have been missed. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors.
You 2 are my favorite U Tubers😊
Ahh Thanks
Great to have your content back
Glad you all are back
I’m glad to see you guys making videos again. And you sure have more patience than I do!
Wow...that was a lot of sitting. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Yes it was
Glad to see you! Happy New Year.
Glad Chris can laugh cause I always say I would rather laugh than cry. I live vicariously through you guys. I really need a smaller bike so I could continue to ride some at least.
You can do it!
Give me all have a camper. I sure enjoy your videos y’all are a Blessing
Thanks so much
The Hoh Rainforest is where Mick Dodge lives! He's a legend.
Once waited 1/2 hr for one of them construction stops only for my destination a mile down the road to be closed for the day, got to turn around and wait for a 1/2 hr going the other way! Thanks for the video on this cold Wisconsin day guys!
Oh wow!
I want to say thank you for all the info you put out!! Two years ago you did a segment in Texarkana about boondockers welcome. We are not full time but the Boondockers welcome has be come one of our favorite ways to travel. We have be come host in south central Illinois. We have also stay at Candy Cane Corral and have become very good friends with Perry and Jan and Georgia. Thank you. We have made amazing new friends both on the road and at home thanks to you. I didn’t realize you had take a brake but I have missed both of you. Ron
Yeah I ALWAYS forget to account for road works on my travels. So when the GPS tells me its 6 hours to my destination I never think that it could be a LOT longer then that. I recall one year I lost count on how many roadworks I encountered but it was super painful and obviously not very enjoyable over almost 2000km.
There are websites that tell you where the roadworks are BUT every trip I take I always forget to look at that :)
Glad to see you
Rich and Chris, it's nice to add your you tube video to our Sunday evening watch list again. Plus you're showing your ride through the area we lived and worked in for twenty years. I've ridden many of the roads you've shown many times on my bike. If you would have asked anyone local they'd probably tell you the avoid that Quinault loop. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
Nice to see you all back on two wheels!
Thanks!
Chip and seal is ok, last August my son and I were in the Four Corners head to Durango. We sit in traffic for an hour and finally got to go. Road work was down to one lane for 8 miles. To make it worst the cut the asphalt up down to the dirt and loose gravel. You couldn’t have drove a ten penny nail up my backside. We both were all over the place. Plus about half way across it came a blowing dust storm. It was the worst 8 miles of our 6,000 mile ride. I was so glad to get to the mountains that afternoon.
Very Cool! 😎 I'm glad to see you back on two wheels!
Thanks! 👍
wow how old is this video. its been cold weather for 4 months now
I was thinking the same thing. These must be old videos that you never posted.
Great to see you and your travels back, cheers
Hey, thanks!
Great video!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you guys are back sweet
I’m glad to see the videos you guys did in 22 and I’m sorry you had a bad experience in the Olympic Peninsula. Being a local the Ho Rain forest is a great place if you’ve never been but, just getting to the entrance is a massive pain. We do the 101 about every other year and vow to never do it again south of Forks because of the road repair. But, we do and then fuss about it for a year. Have fun, ride safe and enjoy the Arkansas hills.
it was beautiful and we stayed at Mora CG we did enjoy the beach.
Nice to see youse guys. Thanks for the video
We did that ride in July of 21 they were working on road , lots of traffic and it was cold. Loved it
Where you been for ages, missed the weekly input .
love the fun you guys have 😂❤
So you guys are back soooooo good to see you again 🫶😎🙏
i"m always staying away from the crowd as more as i can....drifter's rules...`I enjoyed you so much to see you back on the roadagain! love you guys😍
Cheers. Hurry up and get back here.
I'm very happy to find your video this morning. I was just wondering if you were still making these great videos, and here you are. Hopefully, we'll meet again in No. Ga, when the weather warms up again soon. Great episode. I'd say some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. SCHWEET!!!
More to come!
Welcome back missed your video
I thought it was pretty cool to hear you mention the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that is where I am from originally !!
awesome Chris was raised in Muskegon.
What a beautiful area!!!!
Thanks for the video 👍👍
I am so glad to see you back in the saddle again! I've been missing your adventures. I live in Arkansas and would love to ride along with you sometime.
Wow! what a great surprise today.............
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I did!
it is a rainforest. Just cold
I think you can buy TPSs to screw onto valve stems, so no need to have them "on the bike" if you're willing to bust out an app on your phone. But on bikes like the tiger where you can reach the valve stems without becoming a contortionist, it's bound to be quicker, cheaper, and more reliable to carry a quality tire pressure gauge. Just check at regular intervals like weekly or every 500 miles or something. And anytime after a bike sits a while before going. Keep in mind that pressure will vary with temperature, so when getting all anal about setting an exact number, it's gonna be off as soon as the temperature changes a few degrees.
The tire minders I have on the HD had saved us more then once while riding down the road. AZ. UT both states I had slow leak and it was caught by the temp sensor in the device. So I’ll keep em.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife
I'm just offering options for her bike, not suggesting you remove what's on your bike.
all good I was just commenting on how much they saved me. didn't mean for that to come across bad
Good to see y'all, it has been a while since I saw you on the road. Missed you.
kinda like that pump . welcome back . ride safe . God bless
Some days are like that but even that was better than sitting at a desk somewhere you hate
Dealing with the rear valve stem on a touring Harley. I feel your pain!
Pretty place.
welcome back
Been to Hoh early in the morning. Never had any problem with lines. That was in august and the middle of the week.
Love your videos different and interesting
Glad you like them!
Did you end up purchasing the campground in Arkansas you were looking at?
It just property now at some time we plan have it available for camping
Hey u 2. B safe
It's the timing, I guess. When my son and I hiked in and wild camped on one of the hoh forks, there was barely a soul to be seen along the entire peninsula perimeter road. It was in good shape, no construction... Didn't see any hikers in the woods, either.
Wow, the Lazarus' return!!! Wa-hoo!!!
Chris looks just fine no worrys.
Welcome back from newzealand
Helmet hair Chris! We all have it.
I live on the Olympic Peninsula! I hate to break it to ya, but they are not going to bury that "debris" or cover it with road....for one, you don't build over buried logs, they will rot and then create sinkholes....It will stay like that strictly to divert the water!
