[billmaa]

Thanks BB,.., bummer about the weather...

My hard bags are Krausers, They are german and totally awesome, but sadly, no longer imported into the US =(

[ironjoker420]

[billmaa]

Thanks my friend..it'll help keep me sane =)

[joewarcupinhull]

[billmaa]

Thanks Joe,

That's exactly what I was hoping for =)

[ironjoker420]

good camera work buddy! i like the rack focus open. by the way can you send me a copy of your editing software!!! lmao

[billmaa]

Holy crap! Iron joker throws out an industry term...that's awesome...This was a Frankenstein edit between Vegas and Final Cut..the camera is a HDR-FX1..when I bought it, I was on the fence between that and the XL1-S..

[db6163]

III the director's cut!!! Tater and I are waiting.....

[billmaa]

Haha, good ole Tater

[maikeli7]

I never get tired of watching your videos. Such is the quality and the narrative, that I am rivetted every time! You could/should make a career out of this! They could use you on the National Geographic Channel!!!

[billmaa]

Thanks Mike,

Naw, that would make this actual work..then what would I do on vacation? =)

[dirtdobberoffroad]

Bring it on Billy..

[billmaa]

Brandon! whats up dood?

[dirtdobberoffroad]

[toddsplumbing]

[billmaa]

That's a good point man, tomorrow is going to be awesome..

Thanks,

Billy

[lauriejennifer]

You've traveled in ways the rest of us only dream we had the chance to do. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us.

[billmaa]

Aww LJ, you're going make me blush..j/k..I've been very fortunate and appreciate what I've seen..but you're no slacker in the travel department from what I can tell =)

Take care,

Billy

[CommanderKairu]

I'd watch it. ^-

[billmaa]

Rock on, thanks man

[B18BEG6ick]

[billmaa]

Thank you

[Flyguy7722]

[billmaa]

Thanks Cal aren' t one of the few folks that watched it the first time around? =0

[Flyguy7722]

i think i did, but all the add-ons you are planning on throwing into the mix makes it a must see. dont worry man, cant get too much of a good thing.

[bluegem6559]

Great teaser brother , can't wait to see the series .

[billmaa]

Thanks Bluegem, should be a good place to keep my mind while the bikes are hibernating

[thesmellofnapalm22]

Looks brilliant man, Happy editing, cant wait.

[billmaa]

What is old is new again =)

[kindredice]

Motorcycle vloggin' at its best, looking forward to the series Bill.

[billmaa]

Thanks man

[my09R6]

Billy u did it again cant wait to see the new series..

[billmaa]

Thanks man, it's not a ''new'' series persay, just a more youtube friendly version of an older series..I still very much appreciate the comment.

[chaddpd]

What was the name of the music used? I'm hooked on your videos.

Very inspiring to say the least..

Chad

[QVFR]

I'm not sure about the first song, but the second is "I Wasn't Born to Follow" by Social Distortion.

[billmaa]

Thanks Chad, QVFR is right..the first song is the Broken Arrow Theme and the second is "Wasn't born to follow" by Social Distortion..

[WindingRoadsOnline]

Looking forward to the "rebirth" of "Slaggys Last Ride"!!

Roger (OnaQwest)

[billmaa]

Thanks Roger, I'll do my best =)

[QVFR]

I'm really looking forward to watching this series. I read the ride report on the BWOM website awhile back. I tried watching the videos too, but I guess they were broken by then.

[billmaa]

Thanks Q,

I didn't delete the series, just privatized it..(There were a few comments folks had left that it didn't feel right to delete it) it should be a fun project to clean up..

[brotherblonde]

Mate, this series looks too good for Youtube!

This is DVD material!

Can't wait for it.

[billmaa]

Thanks BB, it was pretty fun trip

[340PD]

billy

It appears that your background is not so rooted in the biker world but maybe in the land of film, video, and art.

Unless a collaborator is putting together your uploads I would say that your professional creative editing work is more your love than the bikes.

Maybe it goes hand in hand.

At any rate, bill, you make my own small world on the bike a bit like me goin' to the movies.

Dan

[billmaa]

Dan,

I have to say this is one of the most thought provoking comments I've had in a long time..I got my first video camera and grown up motorcycle about six months apart...my passion for both is an even match..but with that said, if forced into choice, I would give up filming before motorcycles..The filming started as just a video diary for my son, and just evolved into what it is today..I really appreciate the comment

Billy

[rolpal619]

Thumbs up, Bill.

[billmaa]

Thanks man

[Darkbonez93]

feels like ur directing a movie :P cant wait

[billmaa]

Haha, Thanks man..

[SiGeddy]

Like the music from broken arrow there. Nice trailer. All your videos are well edited and put together.

[billmaa]

Good ears...I'm impressed..Thank you..

[ZMagic97]

I gotta say Billy, these videos really encourage me to record every moment of my trip as much as possible. You and Dave both got me into traveling on the bike, but you have very much encouraged me to document it all and share it with everyone I can.

[billmaa]

Thanks Chris, I'm really looking forward to you embarking on your own travels

[M3anMachin3]

Now look at what you did, You made me watch the series again... how could you?

Naaaa, seriously, never saw it :) Excellent timing too. Thanks for reposting it, so we can enjoy

[billmaa]

Thanks my friend, it keeps me from being too idle this winter =)

[one2exile]

very cool billmaa very cool bro 5 stars

[billmaa]

Thanks dude

[motochron]

It's going to be a great series, "tater"! Just don't go doo doo in the capsule. LMAO Really looking forward to this one.

-Chris

[billmaa]

I'll give you a shiny nickel if you can tell me what movie that "doo doo in the capsule" quote is from (without googling it =)

[EdgeyForSure]

i honestly dont usualy comment but i always remember to rate

[billmaa]

Oh, no worries mate, I was just surprised..I think that is really cool

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Can I get advanced tickets thru Fandango? This should be a great show !

[billmaa]

Haha, Your comments always have that fun flair to them Dave. Thanks for making me smile

[GReddyt88dsm]

looks good an fun at the same time lol good luck man take it easy

[billmaa]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[dimebag579]

i'm really looking forward to0 this series cause i never saw it first time round :) and with better quality and directors cut makes it even more worth while

[billmaa]

Thanks James, I think this will be a good project for winter =)

[boobtubeviewr]

I remember this stuff & all the other stuff u did back then too.

YT is experimental, so I say keep forcing the issue until those who disapprove of unrestricted sharing wake up & smell the coffee... they will all see the light eventually ;-)

[billmaa]

Thanks BTV, I'm relaxing a lil bit, realizing that being on YT means evolving as the website evolves. They may can me tomorrow, so I'm just going to have a good time with it Lol..

[billmaa]

Thank you.

[ktmjw]

looks great cant wait!!!!

[billmaa]

Thank you

[F8H]

can't wait to see this! :D

[billmaa]

Thanks!

[rebelyell91]

Fantastic Trailer. :D

I know I'M excited!

[matth1138]

So this is kinda like "Rambo: First Blood, Part 2"?

Which shoulda been called "Rambo: Second Blood"

"Slaggy's Last Ride!...again!"

And yeah, it the footage looks hella more awesome than the old vids(as far as color saturation and clarity) so that's cool!

[terence20001]

Ive never seen any of the previous footage. But maybe in a weird but wonderful way youtube done you a favour because surely the earliar version could'nt have been better than this could it. Real good view's and footage. Brill :-)

[pulse0000]

Very cool man.

[billmaa]

Thanks Rick

[xenojackal]

This is really well put together ;)

[billmaa]

Thank you

[danmoto73]

cannot wait for this :D looks brilliant and i never saw the original series so really looking forward to it :) great trailer

[billmaa]

Thanks Dan, I think only about 12 people saw the first cut, so I understand =)

[BusasaurusRex]

Good revisit my friend! Reminds me that I'm ready for the next one even more!

[billmaa]

Oh heck yeah dude, 2010 will rock!

[davidhowellca]

Nice promo Bill. Good job putting this together. I missed this the first time around. Going to check it out over on Vimeo :)

[billmaa]

Thanks David,

This was our biggest ride series and I was pretty bummed with youtube's issues..but I'm really encouraged with all the feedback I've been getting

[BOLLING71]

Can't wait. I got hooked on your videos a couple of years ago.

[billmaa]

Thanks for sticking with me, I appreciate the comment

[tdad71302]

i'm so glad that i sub'd to you billy. you've got some great stuff. i first watched one of yours because of Steelhorseclub.

[billmaa]

Thanks man, I think I owe at least 80 percent of my subs to my fellow vloggers helping me out..

[RC62]

Hell of a nice trailer! I'm looking forward to this version of the series...

[billmaa]

Thanks Rob,

I had no idea that folks actually watched the original..I appreciate the comment

Billy

[RC62]

When I first sub'd your channel, I went back through most (if not all) of your older vids.

Unless this old man is tripping (highly possible) I do remember seeing the Slaggy's Last Ride series,~15 videos I think.

Disclaimer: I reserve the right to be demented. :^)

[billmaa]

Haha, you are one of the few =)

[woodenchairs]

Wow Bill, your normal stuff is always impressive but this looks like youve even raised the bar higher!

I remember watching Slaggy last winter and how it made me think how this was what i really wanted to do. I already wanted to travel by motorcycle but your vids inspired me so much and, even back then before i knew you, i thought how fun it would be to travel with you sometime. (:

[billmaa]

Thanks Dave, this is what happens when you give a vlogger the swine flu and tell him not the leave the house for the weekend..Lol..Not even firesauce is a match. Well yanno that WI is a big ass blank spot on my checklist, so is MN..so I think we should seriously plan a 3-4 day scoot in the spring.

[woodenchairs]

Oh crap so you did end up getting it then? Sorry to hear that man. Im still avoiding people to keep from getting it since its going around here. lol

Id def be up for that! :D Read your comment to Jeremy. Id love to see some background from the ride. Lil background on what happened that wasnt caught on vid too maybe?

[billmaa]

Unfortunately yeah, and soon as this video posted..Tracy started texting me about doing the extra stories of the "road" he reminded me of alot of interesting stuff I forgot. :)

[savethefreak]

Looks Awesome!! xD

[billmaa]

Thanks STF!

[SevenMary4]

Great stuff and great work, the quality improvement is huge, and YT screwed me too!

Victor former(victor1974yes)

[billmaa]

Oh no! what happened Victor?

[SevenMary4]

The usual, missing comments, loading errors, i know my vids were crap but i had one that i was really proud, it had over 160000 hits and alot of positive comments.

[nathanap79]

I can't wait to see it. Great teaser.

[billmaa]

I appreciate that Nathan

[NickRoos]

Can't wait to check that out :)

[billmaa]

Thanks Nick

[bfmv580]

Ah man this looks great, cannot wait to sit down with a pizza and curley fries and watch it :-)

[billmaa]

Haha, the video is still pretty young in posting, but this is one of my favorite comments so far =)

[8cuttlefish8]

U have no idea how glad i am u are redoing slaggys last ride. It's gonna give everyone a chance to watch it. And im super excited about the new footage and deleted scenes. :D

Wow, the quality sure is a major improvement!

[billmaa]

Thanks Jeremy, You've always been one thats stuck with me thru my entire catalog..so you know what this series means to me =). I agree, the quality is a good jump =) I'm not sure what to do for the new footage. Mebbe behind the scene stories about the ride? any thoughts?

[8cuttlefish8]

Yeah i would love too hear behind the scenes stories about the ride, make sure too get Tracy in on it too :D.

[RedanWhiteRebel]

Didn't get all the first series so looking forward to the revamped version. Loved the Bonneville Salt Flats.

[billmaa]

I wish I didn't have to redo, but I think it will be fun to go thru this old footage again. Thanks for commenting..

[EdgeyForSure]

i love these series there isnt one on your youtube accound i havnt seen yet,

[billmaa]

Edgey, you're so quiet..I never knew that you took the time to watch my older stuff..that means alot..thanks!

Billy

[808yewtube]

Yay! Slaggy is coming back with a vengeance!

[billmaa]

High five to that girly!

[britex3186]

[billmaa]

[BritishRider]
