Getting Lost In My Thoughts And In My Town

- Leave it up to me to get lost in the middle of town 😅 I thought it would be fun to go find some side roads away from traffic, but apparently I am not very good at paying attention to directions when I am looking at a map! I didn’t know if I would make a video out of it or not, but I threw on a camera just for the heck of it, so the subject of this unplanned video is my very poorly planned ride on some roads I didn’t know existed in my area.
For anyone who want's to send me pictures of their bikes:
PLEASE SEND LARGE CLEAR PHOTOS!
1080p x 1080p is the MINIMUM we can work with, so please do your best at making sure your photos are large and not blurry 🙂 And send more than one if you can as well!
Email pictures to: redrider.canada.bc@gmail.com
Only motorcycle related emails please - sorry, but I just don't have the time to engage in personal conversations.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you DON'T want your bike highlighted in a future video showing viewers bikes then make sure to mention it in your email. Other than that, expect to see your bike in one of my videos!

Thanks for coming around, and I will catch ya on the flipside!
Funny how those random accidentally taken routes often lead to the most awesome riding. They're even better when you remember how to do it again.
Haha yep, the remembering part is the trick lol.
Always love your adventures. Look forward to watch your next video
😁
Another adventurous ride...love it.
Always!
Thanks again for another great ride! When I was a kid and my father took us on trips he would purposely leave the main roads and head off to parts unknown as an adventure and we saw some pretty neat stuff like you do! Im not sure how many times we were lost but we eventually made it home. It sure is pretty where you are.
Sounds like some fun family adventures!!
Well, at least you got to enjoy those beautiful scenes and country. The view and the sound of your bike.....so awesome.
You got that right!
That is some beautiful country. It means a lot to people that have never been anyplace before.
I am glad you liked it 🙂
Means a lot to those of us who have been somewhere beautiful and hope that we will once again see it before we die
@@jastaylor2730 baby, you got that right.
Your Bike is sounding smoooth!!!
I thought so too!
This is a video that just keeps getting better and better and feels like we're riding with you.
😁
Angel, I appreciate how you patiently wait at red traffic lights without constantly racking the throttle on your beloved motorcycle. The amateurs where I live whack the throttle to ad nauseam attempting to draw attention and be annoying. You’re really a pro and I like it. God bless.
attention is sometimes needed as not to get ran over, just a thought.....but it could be for what you were saying as well :) I know some, lol...I crack my pipe through parking lots...Peeps not looking...
Normally the only time I crack the throttle at a light is when my bike is running crappy and I need to keep it alive lol. But that’s not often at all.
If you have a bike with a carb, you gotta clean it out every now and then...At least that's the excuse I give myself... Nothing to do with hearing them pipes talk.. ;)
Unfortunately, some folks may complain about me. So many bikers are getting plowed into lately, though. I have started swerving and revving a little more when I come up to stop signs and lights. It may not help me get seen, but it might. It's not to be a jerk, I just want to make it where I'm going.

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES ✌
When my wife and I were kids we used to get up go to breakfast on the bike and just start riding on the weekends. We would try to get lost to find new areas to ride. My wife logged a lot of miles on the back. They were great times. I love watching your springer front suspension work who you use the chest mount. Had no idea how much they actually worked. You take care and stay safe Angel.
Man, that sounds like the best way ever to spend a Saturday morning!
To me the best rides are unplanned and with absolutely no destination. You live in a very beautiful scenic place. Love these kind of videos.
😊 I am glad you liked it
Around Mountains... the weather does what it wants
So true
I did read somewhere once that… Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and then, sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.
Oh, I like that 🙂
Just started the old Harley for the first time this season. Going for a ride tomorrow. First ride this seaso n.😎👍
Have fun!
Beautiful views!! Once past the town portion, you come into farm country. A little farther on, you're in a forest section. Nice roads, and a nice ride! Thanks for sharing, Angel!! ❤😊
You bet!
Glad you didn't get hit by that lady that ran the stop sign !! 😘
Me too!!
Nice to watch a almost old school video, instead of phone I would have to pull out the map! Very nice!
😁
And.....in the famous words of BB....."No matter where you go...there you are". 😊❤
Haha and here I am
Okanagan is only a 33 hour drive. I'll keep that in mind next time I take vacation. 8) Cool video, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
You bet!!
Angel, Yes the view is definitely beautiful, it is very similar to where I live, But my roads are very, very narrow, you are definitely very lucky to be able to write safely in the region doesn’t appear to be a lot of traffic, stay safe,
Your lil bike just purs like a kitten. I really enjoyed this., Thanks. I am like # 100,
😁😁😁
What I’ve figured out since I started being a Red Rider fan is going out with you riding through your neighborhood and your Vally listening to you ramble in thoughts, it really caps my night down here in Dallas. Tks Red Rider! And I too am always looking for new cool places to ride
Also as long as I don’t run out of gas “All roads lead home.”
I glad you still enjoy listening to be babble, James 🙂
You definitely hear the bike’s sound at idol. It’s different. I bet you pride yourself in that old school bike and its sound, it’s got soul. It certainly sounds good when you’re talking off.
I love love love it!
Nice ride and camera viewpoint, thanks. It’s raining in Minnesota today, so I’m missing my ride.
Been raining for a couple days here too
Hello from NJ Angel great scenery up there in your area. It’s all flat down here by the ocean. Nice to see a different view. Okay enjoy the ride and take care.
Thank you!!
Red, i always love the rides with you!!!
😁😁
Wind therapy
🙌
Red I'm presently located in Northern Hellinois, cold rainy crappy roads and weather but I've already racked up 3k on the road toad ,(panhead). Real riders ride no matter what the weather. Stay Classy, Stay Safe ✌
✌️🙂
Spur of the moment rides to unplanned destinations are great! But quit depending on Google maps, and GPS, get printed maps it's way less hassle in the long run. Mountain rides are beautiful, no matter where they are! Ride safe and have fun Red.
✌️🙂
Pacific Mike has a toggle switch on his Shovelhead road bike that mimics a VOES switch so that his laptop tuned DynaTek ignition has one tune for the flatlands when his ignition thinks he is in cruise mode and another, more advanced tune for the mountains when the toggle switch is flipped, mimicing the VOES when the throttle is wide open. Tricking technology to have separate ignition curves for altitude like Pacific Mike, or to make kicking easier like my hero Red Rider does, that's the ol' Hot Rod spirit!
😃😃😃😃
You might’ve got lost but you got a great ride in And a great adventure love the video❤
Yep!!
One's better than none! 😂😂
😆
Was an incredibly beautiful day here only got a couple of miles on it though the bike that is if I wasn’t hurting so bad I probably be taking off for a while longer but any little bit is therapy. Nothing like riding to clear the cobwebs. I envy you having a beautiful place to ride around it’s butt ugly here deep in the armpit of Texas.
I love my valley and really can only think of a couple other places besides here that I would want to live.
That was fun Red ....the adventure of getting lost ... i use the Sun if its out to navigate my bearings when i'm riding on the un-ventured tails n tracks ya never know if u rely on Navi phone and lose signal can get you out of panic and take a drinks n snacks just in case and a lighter to light a fire a torch band aid kit with Germolene creme a blanket map etc you know a little tight bundle of comforts is needed ..even thought your not so far away its wise to prep a little .. Thank Red that really was therapy 4 me enjoyed that glad u took the camera...it sure is wonderfully beautiful could almost smell the pine fresh air ,,,lol 🍀
Well I am glad you enjoyed it! I hope to be able to really get out on the forest trails soon here on one of my dirt bikes, then maybe I'll really get a little lost 😆 ⛺️
I have an aftermarket ignition so no voes. It is built in and adjust with rpm
Mine is an Ultima ignition
Wow, I think that's the best video you've ever made!!! Loved it. Beautiful scenery and your bike is awesome.. Sounds sawweeeet. And if course you're pretty cool too!❤
Thanks!! 😁
Great ride your bike sure runs good ,Have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Another awesome video! ✌️❤️
Thanks again!
Like I've said before I think...just keep going and you'll end up somewhere! I have found some of my best roads just by going and turning on a road just to see where it comes out to. I've always managed to find my way back home. That's saying a lot for me most of the time. It was a cool rainy day here for me today, so watching your unplanned ride made it a bit brighter for sure! Loved your video and your commentary! Ride and stay safe in your beautiful B.C.! Peace!
😁😁😁😁
wow... redhead goodness... just wow... coffee...
Your town is loaded with traffic lights…..must be a sizable town. I think I will research ! Thanks Red, for the cruise. 👍
I think it's around 100,000 people
I like to refer them as the roads less traveled, my favorite kind of riding
Same here
"my bike doesn't belong on dirt roads"
Not with that attitude! Never give up never surrender!! ❤️
😆
It's wonderful to be able to ride with you. I know that reading maps. But it's good that you have a cell phone with you. Once drove around 400 km at night without knowing where I was.
Haha oh jeez.
You are badass i love your extensive knowledge and expertise on all of the old skool bikes thank you for the content that you make you are an amazing person and magnificent biker
Thank you 😊
We are from Niagara another fruit n wine belt, now live in ft mcmurray Alberta n Okanogan fruit is what we get trucked in and can’t wait for season to start , excellent hun you are right👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I get sooo excited for fruit season around here!!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC me too, I grew up picking fruit as a job in summer,
Boy, I love cherries too. It’s my favorite food. I would take a trip out there just for that if I had the money.
They are so good here!!
As far as i'm concerned you are never lost when you are on a bike, unless you are out of gas, but then you are lost and walking so that's a different story anyway.
Hahaha yea
l be glad to leve Perth... lm so over all the traffic & lights & caint wait to be rideing my hills back in QLD.... great Vid Red.. at least ya warming up there as its starting to get cold here Down Under.... cheers Red....
Cooling down here in Kingaroy Trev, almost need a jumper some mornings lol.😲 Hope that old Evo gets you home!
@@bull1962 l got get to Vic 1st thats a week long drive then the cold ride home to QLD...bbbrrrrrr... cheers
How cold is "cold" in Aus?? Lol 🧐
@@RedRiderCanadaBC well still 22c here in Perth.. but in Vic 16c & raining...
Yep, still cold here.We have been having windy storms. My bike chain needs tighten, clean and lube. your bike is running smoother i think. I feel that you have it dialed in and it should help with starting IMO
It's a pretty easy start for the most part. I jjst show you guys the few hard ones lol
Oh my God, she’s so adorable. It’s never the wrong road. It’s just not the road that’s gonna take you where you wanna go unless it goes to Kansas Kansas sucks lol
Hahahah
😮 Wow Angel! Glad your safe, don't ever forget to drive for the cagers also! Wow that was close! God bless
Yea it looked like she looked right at me before that happened too!
Thank you Red , that was a relaxing ride we were on !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
That's why I chose drum brakes, without steep ABS, traction control and all that (without the hope that the computer will save you). That's why I love the speed of 40 km.h. You just need to keep in your head that the people around you on the car are killers. Be safe and take care of yourself. We love you and worry about you.❤
Angel, you made it home, yes.
thanks for the ride.
Take care of yourself, greetings from Sieghart.
Thank you!!
I am rarely lost, I just have a 6th sense. But, you know what,,, you're way looks like more fun!!! It's beautiful up there
It is very beautiful here!
Enjoyed this video.
Thanks!!
@RedRiderCanadaBC do more vids like this. Worry less about directions until time to go home
Voes is just using engine vacuum to activate your timing addvance. I still have weights like you find with points but it works with my electric ignition
👍👍
I just bought my 1st HD. It is a 2007 FatBob Dyna with no FatBob left. It has a custom tuned 120R engine customed tuned Computer from ThunderMax that was done by a very talented man. It makes about 135/135 to the rear wheel hp and torque. It is a beast!
Sounds like fun!!!
Lol I'll stick to warm weather myself
🆒 Video Red Angel !!!!
Thanks! 🤩
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Welcome Goddess Biker !!!!
I was watching the shadows and the location of the sun but a digital compass Velcro strapped to your cables , might be fun to watch how you're going in circles 😂
And being able to speak Bigfoot while checking your map might come in handy. Take a big stick and bang on a tree if you're lost. ❤😊
😆
I hooked up my VOES when I upgraded to an Dyna-Tek ignition on my 97 Harley Fatboy. I believe it does make a difference for a street bike. If I was only concerned with racing, I wouldn't worry about it. I also like extra grated cheese on my Italian food. LOL
I LOVE Italian food 🤤 and always extra cheese
I do love you and your bikes Miss Angel.
In my prayers for you I am hoping that woman ignoring the stop sign gets you to STOP at every sign. Karma?
With the rain falling on my camper I look out the window at the pond knowing I need to ride to town tomorrow to cash my check and make a deposit.
I've always flipped a coin at intersections and this time when my bike needed repairs I found a job with a log home builder. I'm camping on his property and notching Cedar beams for a house's entry truss.
I've my old 87 Goldwing this time and the other morning in the dark she wouldn't start, I'd flipped the kill switch and didn't realize it. Felt like an old fool when I shined the flashlight down on it. I still need to tune and sync the four carbs before I do any serious rides.
I am so happy when you find the spirit of discovery on your rides! Motorcycles give us the most when we don't commute or destination ride on them, they like us love beautiful hardly ridden roads and spectacular views.
Thank You for sharing and please don't be embarrassed about "getting lost" give a prayer of Thanks and keep smiling your Beautiful smile Young Lady.
With Love and Respect you are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Better that it was just the kill switch than an actual problem! Even if it makes us feel silly, its always a relief to find the issue is just our own little mix up and can be fixed easily haha. Reminds me of one time kicking the heck out of my shovel trying to get it going for what felt like forever (this was just after the engine rebuild so I was trying to figure out the sequence again) I finally got it started and went to flick the lights on, but instead I accidentally flipped the kill switch 😣 I was so upset with myself!! lol
well that was close to a stop on the next one ..😆
Yea... when the roads are dead I usually do a casual "stop" 😆 🤫
@@RedRiderCanadaBC My dad used to call that a rolling stop lol
Angel you need to get you a handlebar mount for your smart phone and use your GPS, you will always know where you are...just saying you would like it !! 😘😜
I hate seeing foreign fruits and vegetables when we grow the best here
Thanks mountain lady.❤!
Any time!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC all the time
While riding in a pack is fun my best riding is always alone, I loved your video and the rambling out loud. We have all been there, a realization your temporarily misplaced, that queasy feeling of not bein in "control", at least you got to enjoy the new route before becoming obsessed on finding your way back to familiar roads. I want to share this saying I found, that best describes me and reminded me of you while I was watching last night. "The lone biker lives in a world of back roads and small town bars. He doesn't follow the crowd and finds comfort in his solitude" ` Unkown
Thank you 😊 Yea I really enjoyed the ride that day also and am glad I got "lost"
Nice to see someone loving where they live and promoting it, the Okanagan is beautiful but I'm sure getting crowded, Red on the traffic lights, might be your driving a bit fast? Many are timed for flow, just a thought.
I may be a little fast. 🤷♀️
trop cool belle video
Thanks!
😂 Your like me gotta ride or i don't feel normal.
Lol I feel bad if my bike sites when it's nice out
Angel ur such a sweetie. Love riding with u & ur commentary ❤ o'l biker from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
😊
Ill check this out late tonight -
😁
Bikers never get lost. :) Have a buddy riding the Hoka hey this year, you have checkpoints, and at each checkpoint, they give you the next checkpoint, so you don't know what roads you are taking in advance.
Oh neat!!
Doesn’t matter about your ride plan, as long as the weathers nice, along with the roads.
True that 👍
Boy your idea of back roads really differs from mine. Yours are all showing as straight. Mine tend to be crooked town and county roads. The scenery is magnificent though.
These are just what I have close to me for any kind of back road without going way out of town. They are more like city side roads than back roads.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC That doesn't surprise me. They look very similar to what is around my son's area in Washington. Lots of people.
Your bike even sounds Steam Punk !
Haha totally
Hello Angel! You should think about getting in to dual sport riding. Shoot around town for a bit and then blast in to the mountains! Anyway, I'll come join you for a ride someday. 👍🏻🇨🇦🏍🇺🇸
A dual sport is what I really really want!!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Good Morning Angel! I wrote that comment while watching the video and before you even mentioned maybe wanting a dual sport. lol
I always enjoy your rides, it is such beautiful country where you live...much better than Florida !!...Don't ya think ?
I definitely agree lol. FL is nice but everything is flat and straight.
Loved the video, but please be careful.
Thank you 😊
I understand your title video 😂
😆
Hi Red nice to see you getting a little ridding in. The city limits sure go a long way out there. Just wondering is that were the camera died or is that were you edited out passing that lady that blew the stop sign and you flipping her the bird. I forgive you if you did because after that the temptation is great.
No, the camera actually just died there. The lady apologized to me at a stop sign and she clearly felt really bad for not seeing me.
BIKER BABE !🤘🤘🤘👋
My leather jacket so heavy and so hot I love cold weather not too cold just right like in the upper 50s low 60s perfect for riding a bike with a hot engine and a heavy leather coat
Yea same here. I need to get a light wind breaker for the bike I think for when its just a little chilly.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I’ve been looking at the new mesh safety jackets they are lightweight, abrasion resistant, and have venting buying motorcycle parts. Maybe after afford the jacket.
Red love your city, what is the red light on the left side of your handle bars, that lights when you decelerate?
Blessings!
The left light is my neutral indicator
Getting lost is the best part of riding 🇨🇦
True
I would be adding an electric start to that shovel and it would be perfect
And it wouldn't end up looking like the same bike anymore, way too much stiff would have to change.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Not shure as it would only be sitting on top of the transmission I know its easily added to the ironhead sporsters Even the hardtail chopper ones But you may well be right as your bike is more compact now than a regular shovel ?
Yo Red, you're never lost if you know what province you're in 🤔🤣. ✌️😘❤️😎🇺🇸
Your country is amazingly beautiful !
Spruces and mountains are reminiscent of Norway, Finland and the Russian North.
The level of civilization is only Norway and Finland....
It is very beautiful here, I love it.
Your neighbor here in Ellensburg. Right at the border crossing in oroville we have cherry’s up the wazoo
The harvest is around june if it doesn’t freeze everything first. 🥶🥶🥶
I can't wait for cherry season here!
How about the lesson being mount your phone on your bars (cool or not) and use the maps to get where you're going.
Nevertheless, still a pleasant escape video, little sister.
I've heard that the vibration from the bike can ruin phones over time. 🤷♀️
Heard that about iphone cameras. That's another reason I prefer real phones from that big south Korean company.
👍🐾
👍 🐾
If you know the the roads that border an area, you are never really lost. If you go far enough west you will run into hiway X, north and you hit hiway Y, south takes you to hiway Z etc. You may not know exactly where you are, but you aren't lost.
As long as you have gas you have nothing to worry about. Just hit the road and explore.
🙂
I approve this message…
😁✌️
I never get lost as I always know where I am but I don't always know how to get to where I want to be😅
Hahaha
wish I was there to ride with you ! whats the weather temp. over there ?
It's been about 15 to 17 degrees Celsius the last few days, but raining yesterday and today. Supposed to be warmer next weekend.
If you could find it again
A good gps would be good to use
@RedRider I asked b4 .... but Why are the green lights "flashing"??
Flashing green light means it a pedestrian activated intersection, so pedestrians can press a button to stop traffic. Flashing orange light means proceed with caution. Flashing red light means the same rules apply as would at a 4-way stop intersection.
@RedRiderCanadaBC I knew Yellow and red... just never seen green in Merica... Canada has one of its own 👍🤘😎🍕🍺
eye b leaf u luv!!

may b its cuz u r red rider & kn0t greeen rider!!
