I'm in a motel in Cape Charles, Virginia as I type this. Heading to Front Royal tomorrow to start the Sky line Drive. The USA is biking heaven! Getting my UK bike out of customs at JFK was a pain, but now I'm on the road. All worth it.
Born and raised Kentucky native here, outside of Ireland and Scotland my home state is the most gorgeous place in the world. Come see it in the fall!!!
Enjoy. Shipped my bike from the UK to the USA, a few years back (before the plague and shipping prices going through the roof) for a cross country 6 week 11,000 mile 'bimble', including the TAT. Hope you have (had?) as much fun as I did.
Welcome to America. When passing an approaching rider, remember to point 2 fingers down as a proper wave. This indicates, keep the two wheels down and hello fellow rider.
Ha Ha - Quiet?! Oh aye, apart from posting all over my socials and chatting about it on the podcast for months🤣🤦♂️ You’re always away on press launches Chops, you’ve not got time for all this, get back in the garage and get that build done 👏👏👏👏👍
Living in Florida, my wife and I would often head north for our vacations to the mountains. Either each on our own bikes or two up on mine, we would have what we called a “No” vacation; No reservations, No predetermined destinations, No expectations. We would stumble across some of the most beautiful scenery and twisting roads imaginable.
Wow, I live in Kentucky and thought about how great it would be if you rode around the roads were I live and now here's the video with you here. I hope you enjoyed your trip when you were here. Wish I road and knew you were here, would like good conversation with you.
People think I'm nuts for riding around northwestern New Jersey - but it is a whole different world out there than you'll see from the NJ Turnpike or the Interstates.
Great video Bruce. Reminding me of my time when I lived in Georgia. Great roads. You made me smile.. it took you till 8 minutes in on the video to ignore the 55 speed limit .. 🤣
Luv the thumbnail great empty roads the bike is a belter very capable non GS 😂 liked ye had the Calimoto glitch when ye lost signal be great if they had user message saying use offline maps when it happens 👍 gonae enjoy the series cheers Bruce woohaaaa
Cheers John, Aye that’s a good idea Re the offline maps message, I’ll pass that on to them 👍 Glad you like the thumbnail too, I’ve just started using someone to do them so it’ll be interesting to see if it has any effect on views etc 👍
I'm north jersey I'm going down to Virginia for nine days in May!!. After watching this I'm even more excited. You hit on a point i liked. Riding on a solo trip is the best mental health in the world. I hope you had a great time.
Good choice staying North, fantastic roads all around. I had the pleasure of The Tail of the Dragon last year on my nearly 3 month long trip. Headed for a campsitre just south of the Tail and en route Google maps had me go a quicker route than I planned. I was riding a fantastic road and thought that if the Tail is as good as this it would be brilliant. Like you, I used my phone for the maps but didn't download them and I hadn't a clue where I was. It wasn't until I passed Deals Gap I realised I had done the Tail!! Oh well, did it the other way the next day on my way to Nashville. I must edit more of that trip. Thanks for your vids. Stay safe and have a blast.
Once again, you’ve found some of the best riding roads in the world. That area of West Virginia and Virginia is a hoot! I was riding there in the summer of 2006 on my SV1000S and was happily surprised to see the local road departments out on Friday with their street-sweeper trucks to get the surface prepared for the anticipated weekend riders over the coming weekend. Been awhile since I had tuned in to your channel and it’s great to see you again.🤙
When me and my hubby first went to the US, we went into Wisconsin, Monroe. And there were signs for horse and buggy, but we never saw any. Looks like the Hillbillies have moved state🤣. When we visited Arizona, we drove through a couple of Indian Reservations (Apache and Navajo), and it was the same there with cars just dumped
I hope our "hillbillies" don't get you like they did Ned! BTW Blue grass basically came from GB! I was going to say we have a ton of twisties in Southern Ohio/all of Appalachia, you would miss out if you hit the Interstate to get to Florida. Watch out for logging and coal trucks and you'll have fun. That's not a high end neighborhood with the junk in their yards but that's how the country is around here. If it's a rust out old van it might be an Air B&B for you to stay at!
Lived in southern Indiana for 7 years. In flatland Chicago now for almost 20 yrs and so ready to leave to the twistys again. Heading down this weekend for the Eclipse.
As a Brit now living in Connecticut it's very different riding a motorcyle in the U.S. Predominantly not being allowed to lane filter or split. One thing that's nice though is the roads are much quieter in rural U.S than they are in the U.K but so many double yellow lines at least here in New England. Oh and they call it "Passing" not "Overtaking." Stay safe and have fun. Hope the weather holds for you.
Lol, familia, familiara, familiar, when you're familiar with something..... Sort of an oldie here currently planning for my CBT and your videos are inspirational, thank you.
Loving the first episode of your new Yankee series. Nice to see a different part of the States on a youtube channel. Great to see you just having a ride for your own pleasure too, look forward to the next episode.
Great video Bruce. Love the fact that Calimoto is taking you down roads less travelled and showing us roads that we have never seen before. I'm gonna enjoy this road trip boss. Ride safe.
Absolutely stunning place.. love USA and you chatting about tail of the dragon and skyline drive, etc. Wow, that brought back a lot of good memories from my trip..
Great video Bruce.... enjoyed seeing you rediscover your "joie de vivre" for solo riding and old skool moto vlogging.... Great to also see you riding a Tiger 900 RP... makes a nice change for all us Non GS Wankers. Keep up the good work.
You very nearly started in my back yard and you're on the roads I spend all year on. Hope you have a fantastic time and I can't wait for the next episode.
This is great! 🤣 Awesome to have you back in the USA! Hopefully you are reading this comment after having a couple beers and i can convince you to come and ride in Montana and Idaho!
Ha Ha, I don’t need much convincing bud! Sadly I’m back in the Uk now, I filmed this at the start of March, but I’ll definitely be back over again at some point 👍
Truly looks like the perfect combo: Those roads and the Triumph. Seams like it can work in its sweet spot all the time while flowing through all those bends, and you know it has plenty left if push comes to shove.
Wow great first vid Bruce I have a 900 rally pro and think it’s great all rounder done France and Spain on it going to the Pyrenees in may on it !!!!! Looking forward to to the series Bruce 👍
another great video, top locations awesome roads. you've definitely made me get out and ride for longer, further and more often (Aberdeenshire). Stay safe
Epic vid there Bruce! Keep them coming! Great to see an area of the US being explored that is often overlooked. Definitely think you did the right thing avoiding Florida......way too hot and humid for proper protective bike gear.
We do have one road-nanny state, Maryland. But it doesn't have the best roads anyway. I just need to cross through it to get to the really good Appalachian roads south of it. The BMW Connected app has its drawbacks, but let me tell you, its twisty road routing is the best I've ever used! I like to pre-plan routes where I can. But sometimes I pick a town 20-40 miles ahead and tell Connected to get me there via the twistiest roads, and it never disappoints. Then I pick another town and repeat. Sometimes in rural areas the wee twisty roads might have too many gravel segments for my taste - but Connected has a gravel roads avoidance feature. Those two features combined, no gravel and twisty routing, are brilliant. It's even discovered some real jewels in areas I thought I already knew pretty well. Whereas my Zumo XT's "winding road routing" is an absolute joke. Last time I tried it, it intended to take me on major state roads and right through the heart of several decayed industrial cities. No thanks. Everybody's got to ride da tail udda dragon sometime, just to say they've done it. But I promise you, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, western North Carolina, and northern Georgia, have a lifetime's worth of equally or more enjoyable roads. (actually the Dragon is virtually unrideable most weekends, clogged with squids and flatlanders trying to prove themselves.)
I guess motorcyclists are spoiled these days by the number of vloggers who post videos on road trips. As such I/we can become complacent/choosy about the ones we watch. Nonetheless, this series has really hit the sweet spot. Keep it up TP.
I had a night away in Bath / Bristol / Costwolds this week and was congratulating myself for having a great little biking adventure, then I see this! Hope you have a great time.
Never measure your own achievements/experiences against other people bud. Any time we go somewhere new on the bike, it’s all an adventure. Just make sure you enjoy it 👍👏
As soon as I heard the name Aled wondered if he had Welsh ancestry 😊then I seen the name Aled Morgan 🏴must be a link somewhere,beautiful scenery 👍🏻
Now you are making me wish I had not part-exed the tiger 🤣 I had mine while working in mainland Europe and took it over to Munich and also to Denmark while working on projects out there. I did return 1 day journeys from both locations 800+ miles each time and will say that getting off the tiger Rally Pro at the end of the day was like getting out of an armchair, so comfortable a ride. I think if my legs were longer I may have kept it lol I am awaiting the landing of the Himalayan 450s I may have to get a 2nd bike
A lovely road trip Bruce! Something I've always wanted to do here (as you may know, I live near Seattle now). But with no bike...sob,sob. LOVE the vid! Can't wait for part 2.
Teapot. just want to say Thanks, ive been watching your vids and it made me at the age of 48 to take my CBT. really love the 125cc adventure. keep up the great work
Aye I’ve had a look at Scenic, I like the social integration but the route planner isn’t as good as Calimoto for me - no other route planner allows you to separate the route into individual legs and tailor each leg depending on how twisty you want it
Fantastic stuff Bruce! ! Fantastic quality of content as usual, fair play to you. I hope you don’t mind me saying but “ride to food” channel is well worth checking out for what America has to offer on two wheels.
Man if you had more time there is even better roads in West Virginia and in Southwestern Virginia where I live. I ride a 2002 Goldwing 1800 and I pick the most gnarly twisted roads I can find glad you had fun in the States here.
Been looking forward to this ever since you put out the call on Patreon. Happy to see you escaped Appalachia without having been captured and forced to add to the gene pool.
I've been riding those Appalachian roads since the 1990s and almost everyone I've encountered down there is friendly and welcoming... unless you bring an attitude. I live in the Northeastern US and I run into far more hostiles up here.
Ha Ha, I concur - the folk were/are incredibly friendly and respectful, I absolutely love it over there. Genuinely wish my wife was up for moving that way as I’d live there in a heartbeat 👍
Nice video, just noticed at the end you have a SanDisk SSD, be careful with those I had three of them, x2 2 TB and a 4TB one, they have all subsequently failed and I have received replacements from Western Digital. Hope this doesn't happen to you but thought I would give you a heads up for the future, Cheers Bruce looking forward to the next video. Take it easy
Cheers Kevin, I’ve been using them for years, currently got about 6 on the go from 2TB to 4tb. Only issue I’ve had is the first one, which is around 5ths old now, started to fail - but that’s normal for any hard drive that’s used a lot 👍
"I miss my dog, and my wife". In that order. Classic.
I'm sure he would have mentioned the wife first if there had been a woman on the side of the road barkin' at cars.
I used to have both, now have neither 😂 still have the bike , though! 😎
How did that go over my head lmao
I only miss my dog.
I'm in a motel in Cape Charles, Virginia as I type this. Heading to Front Royal tomorrow to start the Sky line Drive. The USA is biking heaven! Getting my UK bike out of customs at JFK was a pain, but now I'm on the road. All worth it.
Fort Valley road parallels Skyline, is nice and twisty and is toll free. Beautiful countryside down that way.
Born and raised Kentucky native here, outside of Ireland and Scotland my home state is the most gorgeous place in the world. Come see it in the fall!!!
Enjoy. Shipped my bike from the UK to the USA, a few years back (before the plague and shipping prices going through the roof) for a cross country 6 week 11,000 mile 'bimble', including the TAT.
Hope you have (had?) as much fun as I did.
Welcome to America. When passing an approaching rider, remember to point 2 fingers down as a proper wave. This indicates, keep the two wheels down and hello fellow rider.
Unless they are on a Trike, then point 3 fingers down. Haven't yet run across anyone on a unicycle. Not sure what to do in that circumstance.
I miss my dog.... And my wife.... Good save there Bruce 😂
😉😇
Wow America!! You kept that quiet!! Fantastic Bruce looking forward to the rest 👍
Ha Ha - Quiet?! Oh aye, apart from posting all over my socials and chatting about it on the podcast for months🤣🤦♂️
You’re always away on press launches Chops, you’ve not got time for all this, get back in the garage and get that build done 👏👏👏👏👍
Enjoyed that Brucey! Gold Wing territory that......
Cheers Andy, aye absolutely, the Golding would be incredible on those roads 👏👍
Living in Florida, my wife and I would often head north for our vacations to the mountains. Either each on our own bikes or two up on mine, we would have what we called a “No” vacation; No reservations, No predetermined destinations, No expectations. We would stumble across some of the most beautiful scenery and twisting roads imaginable.
I love those kind of road trips, no real plans just hit the road and see what comes your way 👏👍
Wow, I live in Kentucky and thought about how great it would be if you rode around the roads were I live and now here's the video with you here. I hope you enjoyed your trip when you were here. Wish I road and knew you were here, would like good conversation with you.
Love doing road trips in the USA. I always take the back roads, much more fun and you get to see the real America and not the generic Highways!
People think I'm nuts for riding around northwestern New Jersey - but it is a whole different world out there than you'll see from the NJ Turnpike or the Interstates.
OMG talk about roads, so jealous, talk about an office with a view, enjoy and can't wait for more.
Great video Bruce. Reminding me of my time when I lived in Georgia. Great roads. You made me smile.. it took you till 8 minutes in on the video to ignore the 55 speed limit .. 🤣
… “oooooh a tank!”… love it! Looks and sounds like you’re having fun… thanks for sharing 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Top work Bruce. Loving the new branding and top effort on the thumbnail too 👍
Thanks Chris, wish I could take the acclaim but I’ve used a proper company to do both 👍
Thanks TP1, just discovered you. Very entertaining vlog. Very jealous 😢
Cheers, and welcome to the channel 👍
Luv the thumbnail great empty roads the bike is a belter very capable non GS 😂 liked ye had the Calimoto glitch when ye lost signal be great if they had user message saying use offline maps when it happens 👍 gonae enjoy the series cheers Bruce woohaaaa
Cheers John,
Aye that’s a good idea Re the offline maps message, I’ll pass that on to them 👍
Glad you like the thumbnail too, I’ve just started using someone to do them so it’ll be interesting to see if it has any effect on views etc 👍
Hell yeah it’s awesome seeing you ride 22 in Kentucky! That’s my stomping grounds! I love riding these back roads!
I'm north jersey I'm going down to Virginia for nine days in May!!. After watching this I'm even more excited. You hit on a point i liked. Riding on a solo trip is the best mental health in the world. I hope you had a great time.
I'm heading down from PA to western North Carolina starting May 1. If I see you, I'll wave! 😄
@@tombiggs4687 enjoy yourself. I wish the timing was right would of bought you lunch and had a chat.

I have a lovely word for the road less travelled - Shunpiking!

brill video nice to see more of the USA as for the Tiger think the 1200 rally pro is going to be the next one for me till the next one ride safe
Always bad on holiday when you see that dog that reminds you of yours back home.
Lovely roads and scenery Bruce👍. Looking forward to seeing more
Great video Bruce. Love the fact that Calimoto is taking you down roads less travelled and showing us roads that we have never seen before. I'm gonna enjoy this road trip boss. Ride safe.
Indiana!!!!!
I’m all the way on the other corner by Chicago but still cool to have you over here in my state.
This is fantastic. I can't wait for the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway.
Thank you for your "hard" work Bruce. 😄
Ha Ha it’s ok Thomas, I’ll suffer for your enjoyment … 😉👍🤣
Terrific episode. Fun to see you riding in the states. The banjo comments made me laugh, you were riding through bumpkinland.
Another blinder Bruce, those back woods roads are better than our A roads regarding surface quality. A great adventure.
Living the dream there Bruce. I envy you doing this. Superb🎉
Simple as booking some flights and hiring a bike bud - credit card took the brunt of it and I’ll worry about paying for it later 😉
What a cracking "little" adventure. Proper nice to be loaned a bike for the trip, it gets expensive fast hiring bikes. Can't wait for part 2
What brilliant roads there!
You're definitely practicing what you preach Bruce. Nice one 👍😊...
Thanks Les, living the dream bud 👍
Absolutely stunning place.. love USA and you chatting about tail of the dragon and skyline drive, etc. Wow, that brought back a lot of good memories from my trip..
First time viewer, found your channel based on a review of calimoto. Looks like you are enjoying the United states. Hope you have a safe trip.
Great video Bruce.... enjoyed seeing you rediscover your "joie de vivre" for solo riding and old skool moto vlogging.... Great to also see you riding a Tiger 900 RP... makes a nice change for all us Non GS Wankers. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to have missed you Todd 👍
Triumph?? lol enjoy the roads Bruce. 🏍️
Yes please, More.
Loved the tour from Winnipeg to Tennessee and Kentucky. Wish we had more time down there. Nice one Bruce!
Another awesome series on the way, thanks for sharing Bruce! 👍👍
My pleasure bud, glad you’re still enjoying them 👍
Great episode Bruce! You're in my happy place. I ride down there once or twice a year from southern Ontario Canada. This series will be epic.
This is great! 🤣 Awesome to have you back in the USA! Hopefully you are reading this comment after having a couple beers and i can convince you to come and ride in Montana and Idaho!
Ha Ha, I don’t need much convincing bud!
Sadly I’m back in the Uk now, I filmed this at the start of March, but I’ll definitely be back over again at some point 👍

Can you hear Banjo's? Cracking comment ! Loving this so far.

Thanks Rick, it was great to be back over there 👍
Up here in New England if a river or stream has a road by it. Take it. Those are usually the best.
I guess motorcyclists are spoiled these days by the number of vloggers who post videos on road trips. As such I/we can become complacent/choosy about the ones we watch. Nonetheless, this series has really hit the sweet spot. Keep it up TP.
That’s very kind Bib, glad you’re enjoying it
Cool vid. Lucky git😉 Your editing is bang on.
Love the new logo.
Thanks CJ.
Care of the Credit Card bud, worry about paying for it after - anyone can do that 😉👍
Skyline Drive is amazing!
I had a night away in Bath / Bristol / Costwolds this week and was congratulating myself for having a great little biking adventure, then I see this! Hope you have a great time.
Never measure your own achievements/experiences against other people bud.

What a great bloke to give you his bike. Looking forward to seeing you make the most of it. Excellent first vid.
Aye Aled is a top lad 👍
As soon as I heard the name Aled wondered if he had Welsh ancestry 😊then I seen the name Aled Morgan 🏴must be a link somewhere,beautiful scenery 👍🏻

That’s fantastic Mark, welcome to the family bud 👏👍
Great video, the roads look brilliant. Glad you like Calimoto, I used it for a year but I moved to Scenic and I prefer it. Ride safe!
Aye I’ve had a look at Scenic, I like the social integration but the route planner isn’t as good as Calimoto for me - no other route planner allows you to separate the route into individual legs and tailor each leg depending on how twisty you want it
You lucky person, enjoy
Cool trip 👍
The roads certainly look to be in better condition than UK, looking forward to part 2
Wow 🤩 lucky bugger love this made my day and a bonus is you love the last bike I developed for triumph and put my heart and soul into 😎👌❤️
You’ve done a cracking job Lee, it’s a great machine 👏👍
Pennsylvania has some nice forest roads ❤ welcome to the states 😊
Cracking vid I have a mate who’s been living in Louisville for about 30years he says the roads are fantastic compared to back home. Cheers Bruce man
Fantastic stuff Bruce! ! Fantastic quality of content as usual, fair play to you.
I hope you don’t mind me saying but “ride to food” channel is well worth checking out for what America has to offer on two wheels.
Thanks Adam, glad you’re still enjoying it.
Great, thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out 👍
What a fantastic video,and 100% agree about calimoto,great fun,ridden loads of fantastic roads using it.
i love the route you doing so far
This series is going to be awesome can't wait :)
Hope you’re enjoying it then Danny 👍
Oh Virginia Tennessee Carolina. Best roads on the east coast. Your in the meat of it.
Cheers James, I genuinely loved riding there 👍
"Paddle Faster......I hear banjos!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Cracking roads out there, looking forward to the next one 🙂
Cheers Grumps, I used to have a T-shirt with that on it! 🤣👍
@@teapotone "Squeal like a pig boy!" 😲🤣
We rode a very similar trip last year, a lot of the same roads. TN, VA, WV, NC From the Raleigh NC area.
Man if you had more time there is even better roads in West Virginia and in Southwestern Virginia where I live. I ride a 2002 Goldwing 1800 and I pick the most gnarly twisted roads I can find glad you had fun in the States here.
This is so much better than the usual feet up motorway tour! That little known actor Charley Boorman was in Deliverance 😎
Loved this Bruce, give me more you talented old man 😂
Thanks
Thank you very much Dougie! That’s very generous of you bud 👍🙏
Been looking forward to this ever since you put out the call on Patreon. Happy to see you escaped Appalachia without having been captured and forced to add to the gene pool.

Yep sounds about right “I miss my dog ……… (oh ye better mention the wife too)😁😁😁
Lovely engine that
Yup you are riding in hog and wing territory with those roads 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻

Theres a youtuber I watch who's based somewhere Indiana "Mini Bike Mike's Garage" some of the scenery looks identical to his ride outs!
Hello Bruce, great vid and roads. Do you feel naked without the airbag vest?
Looking forward to this tour of Indiana and surrounding area 👌🏻
Aye absolutely! It’s a very weird feeling to ride without it
Come back to Madison and we will go for rides!
