    Did the TAT in 2021. Seeing the back roads of America on a bike is one of the highlights of my life. The view and smells on a bike can’t be duplicated from a car.

    Visually stunning, the colours, you really capture so much in your images. Watching this series has really hit home with me and especially in this episode, I now get it. Slowing down, making the time to take in what is all around is what it’s all about. We all need to do this every now and again, appreciate the simple things and be in the moment. Thank you Sterling 🙏

    that was more than spectacular, Harkened me back to a ride I made in 05 on US2 from Everet East the never endeing wheat fields, after stopping at a deserted grange building an older gentleman stopped to ask if I had a problem, No I was just admireing the golden countyside but asked about smoke on the horizon. He informed me that was just the dust from harvesting the wheat. Later I read how the area kept the World in bread and grain during The Great War. Truly Historic

    I know you've had some rough spots on this trip, but I feel like you've really hit your groove with the last few videos, as you've settled into the road and the journey. I think this is some of the most compelling motorcycle travel content I've seen, maybe ever. Really well-done. I know you're missing home, but a selfish part of me would like for you to stay out there on the road, creating more of this content for us. Stellar work, Sterling

    I’m a Christian, so I’m not supporting Buddhism per se, but this video reminded me of a book that was kind of seminal for me in the early ‘70’s: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. That took me through two motorcycles in my past and if I ever can afford one, maybe once again. Thanks. Read it, if you haven’t already. That book may just get me to Bisbee, now that I think about it….
