    Should you take a motorcycle trip or a cruise vacation? Motorcycle vacations or hiking journeys are not always sunshine and smooth pathways, so why do many people turn to these adventurous vacations? This is the topic I explored on my motorcycle journey.
    I took a solo adventure on my Triumph Bonneville SE on from New York City to the Adirondack mountain range (specifically the High Peaks region) and documented my solo motorcycle journey as I explored and camped in the High Peaks wilderness. The journey was full of road blocks, as trying to find remote dirt roads on the east coast is problematic due to the sale of public land to mining & gravel companies, as well as private land settled on many years ago. Regardless, the region is incredibly beautiful and features roads such as Whiteface Veterans' Memorial Highway, Route 73 through Keene Valley, and NY-86 along the Ausable river. On my way back to NYC, I stopped by Laconia's Motorcycle Week in New Hampshire to see some other custom motorcycles and ride with some friends.

    The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this film is a 2008 movie called 'One Week'. I'd highly recommend that movie to anyone who likes contents like this. BTW, well done Chris you have earned a new subscriber

      I just watched One Week because of your comment. THANK YOU! I likely never would have discovered the movie otherwise. It's a movie that will stick with me for a long, long time....................and I'll probably watch again after my memory fades a little.

      My all time favourite movie. Touring Canada. Gord Downie in a scene playing a man with cancer. I’ve watched it 10 times. The full movie is actually on UA-cam.

    The day after I retired years ago, I drove my bike from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Jacksonville, Florida to Nashville, up to Ontario then back home. About 9,500 kms over 32 days. On day 2, I was curled up under an overpass in the US waiting out a torrential rain thinking “this is nuts”. I kept going anyway. You’ve explained why I continued in a way I never could.

    But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
    Now that side was made for you and me!”

    Chris, I just subscribed to your channel. What an inspiring video. I found it to be inspiring because I just started to ride my 1971 Honda CB500 through northern Michigan. Touring on a 50-year-old motorcycle is an adventure all by itself, but that's what it was designed to do. I'm curious, what cameras and drones do you use? I currently only do still photography. Thanks and look forward to your next video.

    • @ChrisIronhardt
      @ChrisIronhardt  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks Steven - for this video I used a Panasonic Lumix LX100, GoPro Hero 7, and DJI Mavic Air. Filming takes a bit more patience (having to set the camera, and then hop back on the bike and drive through the scene) - but is rewarding after it's all said and done... A 50-year motorcycle certainly sounds like any trip with it comes with a few unexpected surprises / challenges - but I would guess it's quite a very tactile experience.
