3,000 Miles Solo on a Triumph Bonneville from NYC to Canada - Motorcycle Adventure

Join me on my dirt and pavement adventure, filmed on 3 cameras, riding 3000 miles on my motorcycle to journey from New York City to Fundy National Park in Canada on a Triumph Bonneville SE during May. I spent a few rainy days in Acadia National Park in Maine (primarily riding Park Loop Road on Mt. Desert Isle), and headed north up Route 1 "Maine's Big Sur", to the Fundy Coast in Canada. Plenty of logging roads, winding coastal roads, and even a little bit of snow. I chose to motocamp most nights, despite the cold weather in Canada.

"...not afraid to die, afraid to have never lived.." kind of captures the essence of motorcycling. I''ll be quoting that in future!

This my be the best why we ride video on the internet, and I can't think of a more perfect bike for it.

The landscapes, the motorcycle, the narration...! It's all so inspiring! Makes me want to ride my motorcycle right now as far as possible! Congrats, mate!

Riding a motorcycle is like riding the wind, you can feel the freedom as you travel.

You're living a life many of us dream of!

I love it Chris! My good friend Jay and I drove our motorcycles the entire way around Ireland last summer, wild camping along the coastline, stopping off to climb mountains along the way. It was the best adventure I've ever had. Jay and I had so many conversations about the trip, how the journey became the destination! You've captured all the conversation we had in one 6 minute video, you've summed it up beautifully! Well done.

I just rode a 2400 km (1500 miles) trip between the South and Southeast of Brazil, and I can't think of a better description of the feeling of riding than yours here. The trip was a soul-warming experience.

By the way, your content is incredible! Hope to see more from you.

I’ve been captured by motorcycling since 1969. Returned to the sport seriously 2 years ago. As a result, I watch a lot of moto vids. You my man have done an excellent vid. Love the images and your commentary. Keep it up.

This video assembles what motorcycles represent to us and how it truly feels,
This is one of the many reasons why we take the risk and uneasy life for the beauty that lies behind.

More than a good job pal, keep safe and Do more.

best narration in terms of the core essence of riding. As I was listening I had this trip down the memory lane, where for every word he said I had a memory pop up. thanks!

one of the best motorcycle video. the comment is so superb. The rider showing so much thoughts on how we think as a rider. escaping from cage, freedom etc. superb

[johnmooney]

I enjoyed the photography and your philosophical musings about life's journey on a motorcycle. When I have taken my motorcycle onto the scenic and less congested B Class roads over the last 50 years, one's mind does reflect on the beauty, sounds and smells of the countryside that you pass through. You never experience the same in a car, as you are cocooned in an air conditioned travelling office, listening to the radio or music, and not taking in the "reality" of what's on the outside. I'm semi retired now, but I've managed to cover 50K. kilometres over the last five years on what may be my last motorcycle, like yours, a 2009 Triumph Bonneville SE, on the backroads where I live now, in the Hunter Region, on Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia.

The landscapes, atmosphere, photography and directing are beautiful, but the most wonderful thing is the script that expressed what was inside me ❤❤❤

[San-qqs]

Watching this video, I felt like you were saying something all of us have in back of our minds but cant express it. Damn beautiful footage to go along with it. This is now a route I want to take one day.

[GrahamOrm]

I have a long term illness which prevents me from riding any more. I have good days and bad days. Today isn’t a good day. I’ve just discovered your channel and am going to watch your videos all day. Thank you.

Great video. I have over 9500 miles on my 2013 Bonneville. I ditched the airbox, added Headers, Progressive springs in the front with Racetech valve emulators, Ohlin shocks in the rear, and a new set of Pirelli Diablo III's. I LOVE my Bonneville!!
