Tiny Bike to Alaska 2016 Episode One

[edwardpetersen]

Thank you. I'm a new biker. Got my license at 64. Your trip is inspiring. I saw an old bumpersticker that said, "You won't see a motorcycle outside a shrink's office."

Just got a bike. Haven’t road in over 40 years. From Indianapolis. Spoke to you about 4 years ago. Going to riding school in 2 weeks. Wish me luck. I’ve watched your videos at least 7 times. Be safe.

So I guess I'm a little late to the party but i'm real glad I found you. I'm 72 and just got back into riding a few years ago after a rather lengthy hiatus. I have three bikes in the garage but my favorite might be my KLX 250. I haven't taken a trip quite as long as yours on it but really enjoy camping off it for a couple of weeks at a time. I love the style and pace of your video....real easy, not to serious, take it as it comes. Happy motoring my friend. :)

As expected, another terrific video. Always a pleasure to travel along with you on the trips! The perfect blend of practical information, humor and perspectives on living life well.

Absolutely loved this video. I'm working before sun up and too tired to see sun down. My soul longs for an adventure like yours, keep it up.

Echoing everyone else's comments ... I love watching your videos and have been waiting for this series to start since I've been reading your RR. I know they are a ton of work to create, so thank you.
You have a unique style (this is meant as a compliment) and add info that no one else does in their videos.
Also, I can tell that you are just a good person that is passing along the message to enjoy life as our time here is limited.
PS I too am cheap😜 ... and a fellow WR250R onwer😀

Hello fellow North Carolinian. Love your videos. Been watching them for past several weeks. Looking forward to making these same trips. My wife and I live in the New Bern area of NC. My son and I will be riding through your area this fall to enjoy the foliage and a few camping days. I’m on advrider. I go by Scud Runner. Maybe our paths will cross. Trek on.

Respect... I covered a good bit of Vietnam on a Honda XR 400, and anyone who can sit the distance on one of those narrow, vibrating seats deserves mad respect! Thanks for posting your adventure

[loopertrooper]

Excellent video. It usually takes me a few days to unwind and realize I'm on a trip. You can see it kick in toward the end of the video, looks like you're starting to relax. I'll be checking out the whole series. Can't wait to see where Tess takes you.

[huyked]

Sir, that was most beautiful. I love how you ended it, with the moving music, and with the facts about the number of sunrises we get.
It was really great getting to know you through this episode. I look forward to watching the other ones. The ones on the forums are lucky to know you, and have you as an acquaintance or friend. You are so funny, too. This was so enjoyable to watch. Take care of yourself, and I hope you get to enjoy many more adventures. Hugs.

Glad to see you back on the road. Thanks again for sharing the adventure - nice Isle of Man hat!

[billybatts]

Excellent so far. Really enjoyed this video. I have been motorcycle touring and moto-camping for 20 years. I took a very similar rout to this one about 8 years ago. Great journey. One comment, although I love coffee, if I drank as much as you apparently did in this video, i'd have to use a catheter and collection bottle while riding. Either that or I'd be stopping every 30 minutes for a rest room break.

[AvidEnduro]

Tim you're my hero. I've decided I am going to live vicariously through you. haha.. Since our chat at Deals Gap a year or so ago I been updating the WR with a sport-touring/Enduro package. You are an inspiration, keep up the good work :)

[jerryrussell]

Glad to see you're posting your videos of your Alaskan trip. I was riding in Colorado at the end of May. SR141 N. to Grand Junction was spectacular. Keep the videos coming can't wait to see the next one.

[MikeBMW]

Thanks for the video’s, I spent a lot of time in Colorado and Utah on motorcycles so it was fun seeing you go through. Always wanted to do a ride up to Alaska, seeing you just made me want it more! Goodbye!

[pierreeversole]

Hey Tim... Just joined up. Will be following your adventure for the next couple of days. BTW, the closing statements about the number of sunrises one has just wanna say AMEN

[gsh]

That was one of the best videos I've watched in a while.  Thank You very much  Great job  Getting ready for my solo trip.

[neilhunt]

A fantastic video, we are now going to follow your trip through. My wife and i are of simular age to yourself and would truly love to follow the same route as you. We live in the uk so at the moment it is but a dream. Take care and thanks for your very laid back and honest comments, we are all one big family bikers.

[donrbishop]
