Goofy Footer 539 Posted September 10, 2022 In honor of @J5ive mentioning Easy Rider, I'm posting the movie intro and asking YOU what the movie meant to you and how it inspired you to get out and Ride - both way back then and currently. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J5ive 92 Posted September 11, 2022 As stated in a different post...Easy Rider did it for me - I wanted to explore the US on a bike - via back roads. I still get out and ride my HD's as much as I can. There's just something about it I can't explain...my wife know's I have the soul of a gypsy. Now it's Youtube, watching all the BDR stuff, trips in Alaska on ADV bikes. In fact, just got back from Alaska, I rented a BMW GS850 up there and did about 1,300 miles paved/dirt (60/40). My inspiration to do Alaska had a lot to do with the Youtube video's I was watching (also, got to check off my 49th state I've ridden a bike in) My new goal is - to do some BDR's on my Tenere 700 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secondly, where is this Alaska ride report!? Lastly, how's you convince your wife to let you keep your gypsy soul? I thought marriage killed all men's hopes and dreams!

Marrying the wrong person kills mans hopes and dreams. Edited September 11, 2022 by Zubb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J5ive 92 Posted September 11, 2022 @Zubb winner, winner, you are correct...Hawaii it's the only state I haven't ridden in (or been to). Trying to make it happen this year... @Goofy Footer heck, I didn't know I had to do a report...might not have said anything about going to Alaska...LOL. I'll have to look around on the "Forms" to see what has been done in the past, so I know what's expected. Heck, I don't even know how to load photo's on the site. I tried to put a photo on my profile and it was rejected. As far as my gypsy soul...Zubb was correct again, I married wisely. She supports my solo trips (maybe she's just glad I'm gone for awhile). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
