Hello everyone, my name is Charlie! I have a #2019 #flsb #harleydavidson #sportglide. I have been riding for 11 years. This is my first cross country road trip on a #motorcycle ! This experience was absolutely #amazing and #beautiful. I went from #southdakota , through #wyoming , did 1800 miles in Colorado, and even dipped into #newmexico. During the trip, I broke it into 8 days.
Day 1- Hermosa, South Dakota to Fort Collins, Colorado.
Day 2- Fort Collins to Summit of Pikes Peak then to Bennett, Colorado.(Thanks to my friend Soopersmoker!)
Day 3- Bennett to Pagosa Springs, Colorado
Day 4- Pagosa Springs to Telluride, then to Palisade, Colorado.
Day 5- Palisade over the worlds largest #flattopmesa The Grand Mesa, down the #milliondollarhighway, into Durango.
Day 6 & 7 I spent doing the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally, see my video here! • Four Corners Rally 2023!
Then I got a call from home, and I needed to make a quick trip back. I loaded up tent and road from Durango, Colorado, through Saguache and Fairplay, into Thornton. The next morning started off beautiful but quickly became extremely stormy weather. With wind gusts almost blowing me off the road several times, I regret I didn't film anything or even have the mind to think about doing so. It was scary and I am so thankful I made it through Wyoming. When I got home, I realized that I didn't get any of it, and I was bummed but still gratefull, and the video is already fairly long! I intend on posting full lenght videos of the Pikes Peak trip where it rained, snowed, and hailed on me! The first time I have ever had to ride when the road had visible ice on it, also above 10,000 feet! I was disoriented and it was hard to breath! I will also have full length videos of going over the Flat Top Mesa, Million Dollar Highway from Ouray to Silverton, and Treasure Falls to Pagosa Springs. I also have several other long videos I recorded that I will make with the go pro and 360 footage compiled! This motorcycle trip absolutely changed my life for the better. I had to pull over several times to cry, to take in the beauty, to try and comprehend it all. I can't tell you how blessed I felt, and how it felt like God was watching over me, and giving me safe passage. I hope you enjoyed this video, and it gave you the courage to go on your first motorcycle trip also.
