My buddy and I took an awesome 4200 mile bike trip from Sacramento, California through Nevada, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah. I Rode my Kawasaki Concours 14, and he was on his BMW R1150 RT. We both took a bunch of video on the trip; me with a hand held, and he with a Go Pro. When we got back, he spent about a week of hard work editing both of our footage into a pretty cool short video.

Loved the Video, brings back memories of when we did a trip from Chicago up to Denver and back to Chicago in 2011. We were in a car and saw St Louis Gateway Arch in Illinois, met up with some forum friends in Missouri, went on to Denver, Colorado through Kansas and saw Calamity Jane's & Wild Bill Hickock's graves, went to the Coors brewery in Golden and went up Lookout Mountain to see Bill Cody's grave. We went on to Sioux Falls in South Dakota, passing through Wyoming & Nebraska to see Chimney Rock. In SD we saw Mt Rushmore but also saw the ongoing carving of Crazy Horse not too far from the presidents. We went to Sturgis, it is a dead town when there are no motorcycles there. Next stop was the airport in Chicago, passing through Minnesota & Wisconsin and back to Illinois.
The roads through the Black Hills are great with sweeping bends through the hills, but the road going to Denver was so straight and boring, glad we were not on a bike at that point in our trip. |
