A Great American Road Trip. No Frontiers

[EverydayRiding]

great video! It must have taken some time. How did you do the little map/bike motion at the beginning?

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@EverydayRiding Thanks ER... I used adobe after effects for the bike motion but it nearly took me as long as the holiday to do it....lol....I need a lot more practise on that .

[EverydayRiding]

@RedanWhiteRebel hmm don't have that one. video takes way too long to edit sometimes. I'm still working on stuff from last summer.

[TheHappyThought]

Great Video, l am looking forward to the next installment.  Wish I knew you were swinging by my part of WA, I would have meet up to say hello.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@TheHappyThought I missed out on a few meet ups along the way unfortunately which I would have really enjoyed but I must say you live in a very beautiful part of the country.

[larrythelookout]

Enjoyed very much. want to see how ya rode overseas. it must have been hard to drive on the wrong side of the road all the time over there. he hee

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@larrythelookout Thanks Larry...I have had the bike to France before so was not completely new to driving on the... wrong side... of the road but you definitely need to concentrate.

[cdwolf]

Terrific! That's a ride I'd like to make someday. Well done RWR!

Stay safe, enjoy your trip!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@cdwolf Its a great ride Cdw and if you ever get half a chance at riding that coast take it.

[WhiteCat46]

Nice video!

I look forward to a continuance.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@WhiteCat46 Thanks for your comment Whitecat

[KeukaRyder]

Nice start to this series.  Looking forward to the series.

I envy you riding out in the West. I've never even driven a car out there.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@KeukaRyder Thank you KR...If you ever get the chance you should go it really is worth the trip.

[KeukaRyder]

@RedanWhiteRebel I'm going to try and do a BWOM with my riding buddy Dave next summer and another vlogger. But, "The best laid plans..."

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@KeukaRyder I know KR......it is difficult to put it all together and sometimes the best laid plans do come a cropper but it is great fun planning the trip too. I hope it works out for you and I look forward to seeing those vlogs.Motorcycle touring is addictive.

[KeukaRyder]

@RedanWhiteRebel Thanks my friend! The trip plan is starting to take shape now. Perhaps a mid-May 2011 blastoff :->

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@KeukaRyder Its a good time to go before the major rush and before the heat really kicks in. Are you going to head to the west coast ? .

[KeukaRyder]

@RedanWhiteRebel

Since you a link to Google maps route.

[RC62]

Very cool! Looking forward to more. :D

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@RC62 Thanks for watching RC...I appreciate it.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

Thanks 808 coming from you that's a huge compliment. An international vlogger meet-up would be great now that the world is getting so small....if only the price of flights would drop too......lol

[808yewtube]

Brilliant video, RWR! It's pretty neat when vloggers travel overseas. It was a great experience for me and now you've done it and now woodenchairs too. The world is getting smaller by the minute! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!!! :)

[navythomas8]

Great start!!! Following closely!!! Lets get editing!!!!!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@navythomas8 Thanks Tom....trying to find the time believe me.

[Fotoez]

Loved this. Can't wait for more parts of your adventure!!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@Fotoez Many thanks Fotoez...it was a great adventure for me ....so I hope it all comes out right on the vids.

[MadStu]

Brilliant mate, look forward to seeing the rest :)

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@MadStu Thanks Stu, it was a great trip.....I better start editing ....lol.

[onejillion]

I can't wait to see more. I hope you left with some wonderful memories to look back upon.

The east coast is nice too...hint hint!!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@onejillion I have fabulous memories from the trip Jill. It was a fantastic experience and a lifetime ambition achieved.

Now that you mention the east coast.............hmmm.

[Hank2wheels]

Nice intro to your big trip, lookin forward to seeing the next episode.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@Hank2wheels Thanks Hank... everybody has been very kind about this vid....I hope the rest of the series doesn't let it down but I will do my best with the footage I have.

[67kneil]

Pasific coast high way is awesome esp the Northwest section( I used to live in oregon. ) death valley is fantastic

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@67kneil Fog hampered some of the coastal part of the trip Kneil but didn't spoil it and the Northwest was awesome.Death Valley was hot....lol

[pjacobo]

really2ugly gave me a heads-up on your video series - great job on this one - I'll be watching for more

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@pjacobo Thank you pj... I intend catching up on some of your video's too. You have a lot more miles touring on a Shadow than me.

[cashstore1]

Do you have friends in Vancouver?

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@cashstore1 I have relatives there CS1 and they traveled with me as they are bikers too.

[aeroliner750]

looks like that it is going to be a real good series .

but why the west coast ? dang it all well maybe next time you will try the east side of the place how did you like the pch ? on the way down

take care and as always RSMDF

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@aeroliner750 I have traveled the east from Boston to Florida by car and had always wanted to travel the PCH having heard so much about it. I must say it didn't disappoint and was a fabulous trip with brilliant scenery and outstanding roads especially for a motorcycle. Never know I might do the east side next on the bike.

[onejillion]

@RedanWhiteRebel Yes! Yes! Yes!!! (happy dance in progress!!)

[aeroliner750]

@RedanWhiteRebel i will hold ya to it and you better tell me if you do the better side of the states Sir take care and as always ride safe my dear friend

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@aeroliner750 I will let you know Aero but I will have to start saving hard first....lol

[jimhikeat]

wow...very nice video...will be waiting for the next one..nice job!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@jimhikeat Many thanks Jim...I hope I won't disappoint.

[really2ugly]

Very nice, RWR. Looking forward to the series. I would kill myself trying to ride a motorcycle on the "other" side of the road. At least in a cage, you have the clue that you're sitting on the "other" side of the car. You are braver than I would be.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@really2ugly Its not so bad on the other side of the road r2u..... I had rode in mainland Europe before, who all drive on the right , but you do have to concentrate on junctions and turns....a lot ...lol.

[L0udP1p35]

Great start, RWR! Looking forward to this series. :)

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@L0udP1p35 Thanks LP....hope the rest will not be a flop...lol.

[Papa2two]

Excellent Video RWR. Great editing too.

Looking forward to the series.

Only wish you would have contacted me for a meet up.

It was difinitely doable.

Take Care and rsmf...

[RedanWhiteRebel]

@Papa2two Thanks Papa. If I realised how close you were I would definitely have contacted you but it wasn't until I was riding out of Victorville that I realised it was the road from your video. It took me a while to remember whose video I had seen but I finally remembered it was you and mentioned it. Sorry Papa I would have really have enjoyed the meet up as I missed out on meeting up with Navythomas8 too who couldn't make it to Vegas.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

Thanks Ren....maybe I should swap with you for your Red and White Shadow...but you probably would'nt part with it anyway...lol.

[renrennaka03]

@RedanWhiteRebel If you make it over to Hawaii, you will have a red and white Shadow to use. Too bad I don't have a red and white rebel, haha!

[renrennaka03]

Yay! I can't wait to watch the rest of your journey! Congratulations on getting a Honda Shadow ACE!!! It's a good-looking bike :)
