Dude, love your videos! In 2010 I covered 43 states in six months on my FJR 1300. I was alone and loved every minute of it! if you're on the road in my area, drop me a line and stay at my place!

@billyray3761 Thanks man, I appriecate you saying that...43 states? Holy cow, I know you have some good stories to tell

Great videos. I love the sober approach to planning, and playful approach of delivery of the info. Lighting and scale of you in the shot in this one needs a little attention as well as not having background music with a singer. Other than, awesome stuff man. Keep it up!

Well done video. Enjoyed watching it, but some of my best road trips had absolutely no pre-planning. Load the bike with cold and warm weather gear, stop at the end of the driveway and decide if you'll turn left or right. The first day is always interstate to get away from the same old local backroads. The morning of the second day, check the weather, look at the GPS for a curvy road and see where it leads. No plans. No reservations. No regrets. I highly recommend trying it sometime!

People should recognise the fact that this video really refers to touring in America as I can personally vouch that doing trips around Europe or Asia will differ. A realistic daily ride in america may be 400 miles, but we in Europe have a different road network and general country setup so 250-300 miles a day would be more realistic. I also found when I did my tour of Vietnam that doing 55-60 miles a day was more realistic because again of the conditions we faced.

I can't hear your words the music is interfering.

@13RuffRyder Yes, but viamichelin IS a map :) It just draws a line over the map saying where you have to go to reach your destination, but yes, maps are the most reliable things.

[13RuffRyder]

@micas96 ya but maps are more full proof than anything else.
