Thank you in my opinion this is what a Motor Ride video should look like not chatting just riding 😊

I had to go back and watch this for umpteenth time. I hadn't watched it in some time. You had a perfect day for this video. This is the video that started me being a fan and binge watching your videos and this is the music I associate with your channel. We'll done my friend.

I once went over this at 2 AM in a furious blizzard. It was snowing so hard you couldn't see the road, but it didn't matter, because the road had about a foot of fresh, unplowed snow on it, so you couldn't see it anyway. I later found out from my cousin, who worked for the Department of Transportation as a snowplow driver, that we were the last to cross that night, as they closed the road behind us.The only reason we made it was because there was a full moon above the blizzard illuminating things a little, and we could see where the road should be. We were in my friend Chuck's 1970 Pontiac Le Mans, rear wheel drive with meats on the back. It performed flawlessly.

Superb narration!

Man that was a fast 20min's. thanks for the ride along. I must ride that country again while I can still ride. thanks Dan.

It's really wonderful and thank you for allowing me to go through this magnificant mountain journey. May God bless you with all happiness, good health and prosperity. Best regards, Nassa

Rode this the last time in 2008. Topeka, KS to Durango, up to Buena Vista, Rocky Mountain National Park, back to Topeka, 2 weeks, all on my bike. '05 Heritage Classic. The ride from Durango to Ouray can not be done justice by words. Been coming to this part of the country since I was a little kid on family vacations. Thanks for the video, brought back some great memories for me today. I hope and pray to be able to one day ride this road again. Million Dollar views in my mind.

Thank you and your wife for sharing your trips. When I start "Jonesing" for rural Colorado beauty, this is my "go to" video. Your other videos, too, are just right for my likes!

All the bikin I've done in the Rockies, I still frickin marvel at the fact that there are almost NO Potholes! Sometimes it pays to ride in a 'dry' climate!

Awesome scenery lovely towns

Looks like a awesome ride.

That is an incredible ride. I love the beauty of Ouray

Awesome. Thanks for posting

I have family in Montrose and Ridgeway. when I was young we would take a road trip every summer to camp at Ridgeway marina and we would take 550 on the drive back. best childhood memories!! my aunt and uncle ran the marina so when I turned 18 i moved to Ridgeway to work at marina with them. thanx for bringing back these memories!!

Beautiful street view

Absolutely love the riding in Colorado! Colorado is the most beautiful state in the USA.

Beautiful highway. I've been through there in my truck but I got to get back up there on my bike. Nice video.

One ofn the best rides in the Rockies. also great towns Solverton and Ouray

Robert: beatiful route through the mountains,my congratulations for your video and your spirit biker and traveler

That's yet another road on my list of roads where I'd love to take a bike for a ride. If I ever get to US, Colorado, I'll rent a bike and ride the Million Dollar Highway. Truly beautiful scenery from that road.

I'm going to be driving this stretch from Silverton tomorrow, thanks for the preview.

Beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing.

Great vid!

Wonderful . . . we just finished riding this the other way . . . Montrose to Durango on 550. As with all great motorcycle roads looks different riding the other way. Thanks for sharing, I can relive the ride through your video. Spectacular!

Thanks for sharing that amazing ride! I enjoyed every minute.

Been out there several times and love it more every trip we go out there.

Great vid, music fit perfect too. Thanks for sharing.

I was born in Durango ,saw this trip in 1962 in a jeep trip with my step grandfather.

Nice ride. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful Country.

Great Video.

Thanks for the ride

Shared your video with by other riders. Brought back some memories thanks for sharing.

This is another great video, brings back awesome memories for me. We have ridden many of the same roads.

And Thanks for watching and enjoying! You live in and near some beautiful scenic areas.

The Million Dollar Highway which runs from Silverton to Ouray for 25 miles is a fantastic road whether your in a car or on a motorcycle.

Fingers crossed for summer 2021

My dad lives in Durango...We're CO natives and I've driven this a few times...I loved your vid...I miss it...I want to go back now... :)

Drove an 18 wheeler across it before. Longest 300 miles from Ouray to Farmington. Took me 8-9 hours to complete it because of the passes, switch backs etc. Absolutely gorgeous drive though

great vid rob might do the ride myself. thanks for posting it .

Thanks for the ride. That was nice.

Now that I've seen it....gotta ride it!

I grew up vacationing there, every year of my life, sometimes twice yearly. My dad was big 4 wheeling enthusiasts. We'd often have to drive the Million Dollar Highway to get to the trail head or entrance to a pass. I am going back for the first time in 30 yrs. THANK YOU FOR THAT LOVELY VIDEO! I cried. It's just like I remember. I can hardly wait, we bought a new Polaris Ranger, and we are set for 2 weeks of fun. GOD BLESS COLORADO!!!!!!

Wow amazingly awesome views! Thanks for sharing

was such a nice video. havent bin in Col for a cuple and missing it alot. thanks mate

Really enjoying your series of Colorado ride video's ! My wife and I live in Illinois and plan on riding many of these roads this summer ! We did the Blue Ridge Parkway last year. Love the rides with great scenery ! Good riding to you !

Thanks for the ride! :)))

Hey, thanks for the lift.

My favorite area of Colorado. I almost feel at home in Ouray.

Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOWOW...ITS GOT MY NAME ALL OVER IT!!! THANKS..THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL..WHAT A STATE..AND I AM IN NJ = BEACHES...LOVE THAT TOO!

I rode the 550 hwy and was there May 2019. What a great ride and a great place for lunch! Ouray Co, O'Brien's Pub & Grill. They have the best fresh, homemade Reuben Sand, they season/smoke right there! Great video, thanks for sharing it with all of us. :{)

I'm heading up this road in just a couple of days. I am so stoked

Love it..

My friend Anders told me he loves to ride this road on the Iron Butt rides. I can see why. Gorgeous footage.

Damn it would be a lovely ride with that weather. June 2015, 6 of us when over the top of Coal Bank Pass and with no place to pull over we ran into heavy sleet. The most white knuckle riding I have ever done. Great video. I must return in better weather.

Beautiful man, I want to do this ride REAL bad.

Watching your videos of SW Colorado is a bit bitter sweet for the wife and I. We live in Farmington NM about 1hr south of Durango and we spend every weekend from may to snowfall up there with our Polairs RZR. We got a few motorcycles and are just itching to get up there next year on that great road!! Thanks for posting!

I can't ride anymore because of health issues.. This is the next best thing.. I have my PC connected to my 40" HD tv.. I can almost feel the turns.. Thanks

EXcellent. Thankyou

One of the best drives I've ever been on. Would love to go on a bike once I'm old enough to get a permit or license..

Awesome

I've never driven a motorcycle before. I've never even ridden on one before. When I see a video like this, though, it makes me wish I had. THIS is the true way to see America...on back of a motorcycle, wind in your face, the sun overhead, with nothing but the sounds of nature and of movement in your ears. I absolutely love the west, especially the southwest (NM, AZ, UT, and CO). If I ever learn to ride a motorcycle, you can sure bet I'll be traveling in those areas! Thank you for the excellent videos. I'll definitely be subscribing. Are those areas pretty friendly to motorcycles?

I'm there quite often as I live close by and I have family on Crescent Ridge Dr and also on S Windom Way, it's gorgeous country :)

I head out Friday morning, leaving North Alabama, heading to Colorado. My #1 destination is the Million Dollar Hwy. And every other beautiful road I can find. Which I'm guessing will be every road out there. Aftet I explore Colorado for 3 or 4 days I'm going into Whyoming to ride the Beartooth Hwy into Montana. I just hope the weather is good, don't mind the cold but I don't want rain. Either way I have 14 days to ride wherever and do whatever I want. 2021 ZX10-R will be the steel horse I ride on this adventure. Also the last week of this month I'm heading to Austin TX from N. Bama, for the Moto GP race and I have 10 days for that adventure. Cannot frinkin wait. Never been more west that Louisiana, so this is going to be one he'll of a month of riding. And no I'm not loading the bike in a truck or on a trailor, 2 wheels only all the way! 👍

What an amazing road, people in U.K. think all roads in the U.S. are dead straight boring interstate, how very wrong they are, would love to ride my Goldwing there, very nice video thanks for sharing. :-)

amezing!!!

Mais um lindo vídeo, Robert! Assisto em casa com minha família em uma TV 50 polegadas, desfrutando da boa qualidade das imagens dos seus vídeos. Foi uma boa descoberta a que fizemos, sobre seus vídeos. Somos loucos, inclusive, pelos filmes faroestes americanos e os assistimos a toda semana também! Que Deus lhe abençoe! Abraços de Montes Claros/MG/Brasil.

Nice video! Thanks for posting. I made that ride on my 2003 Harley Davidson Road King in 2005. I was riding from Ouray to Silverton. There weren't as many guard rails back then. I wish there was a way you could show the 200 foot drop off to the river in your video. Miss one turn and it's a long way down.

I wanna go ! thanks !

The wife and I are going to be leaving in the Middle of September (2016) from Kansas City and hitting the Grand Canyon, Four Corners and coming back home via the Million Dollar Highway. Can't wait! Awesome video. Ride safe.

Outstanding video. Great music @ just the right volume so you can hear the bike's motor & gear shifts.

This is the reason I moved here, I have a few videos of my Vstrom 650 riding mountain passes on my channel :)

Let me just tell ya. The video does not do it justice. I spent the night in Ouray when I was out there a couple years ago. I was up late drinking beers and all that so I coulda been in better shape to do that drive over to Silverton. I looking down from the outside lane going in the Silverton direction was giving me a solid case of whatever they call fear of heights. All I could think of was the Jeep Cherokee I was in doing a barrel roll down that endless steep slope to oblivion. There is a very slim margin for error on this road. Would love to run a Harley down that sucker one day.

Many thanks and great video! Interesting riding lines - man you cut in way too early.

I just spent a couple months in Colorado, but unfortunately the fires had forced the closure of the HW between Durango and Ouray. I gotta see it soon though. Ouray was incredible.

Been on that highway 3 times. Twice in an 18 wheeler. Once on 2.

I wonder how far from Chicago wish take my bike there maybe some day nice video mate

When i hear a Harley i think of the sound po-ta-toe po-ta-toe it would put me to sleep I think.

Wow

if you ever go there again at about 18.29 minutes in you will see a bldg with a motel sign,turn right and you will find the Avon.Ask the current owner if you can see the tunnel dug during prohibition from the speak easy to the rr depot.it is still there.hope i got the hotel name right been a while but is close to correct

Damn you're all over the road.

I've watched half of your videos of this series and really enjoyed them. I'm thinking of relocating to Colorado maybe when I retire so like to see the differant scenery. Was this late summer early fall when you took this trip?

Beautiful scenery but was expecting a more challenging ride with switchbacks.

Wow, what gorgeous scenery and what a great unimpeded view from your motorcycle. I subscribed immediately. My only request would be to kill the music. You will never find any music that sounds as good as that wonderful engine! I would much rather listen to it and the passing traffic.

what camera are you using? And how do you have it mounted? Plan on hitting it soon. Times always an issue for me to get down there.

I travel Red Mountain pass so often I have named all of the trees,do you know why it is called the million dollar highway? There are two schools of thought on this one but my great grandfather was on the original construction crew and I tend to go with his explanation,first it is said to have to cost one million dollars a mile to build,second it is believed that the rock crushed to make the road base was so rich in gold that there was at least one million dollars worth of ore per mile.Pappa thought the second was more accurate

Enjoyed the Video, headed up that way in May. What time of year is this and what type of camera are you using?

nice ride/video! what camera did you use to take the video?

Beautiful scenery - liked video because I felt as if I was riding the road, since we are now confined to our house due to virus it was twice as enjoyable. Sure don't have many guardrails along most of the ride. I live in NC have you done the Devils Tail ride? Wishing you the best ride safe

Very nice video Robert. I was on the same ride in 2004 from Las Vegas to denver on a Goldwing. As far as I remember everything is still the same. If you like to see how we ride here in Switzerland, look out for my KZfaq Videos from Swiss Tom.

💸

Good afternoon and congratulations. Could I put the name of the music tracks?

Where is your camera mounted? Great Video enjoyed it much!

That was a great video! What did you shoot it with? Did the raw footage need a lot of work to produced the great color?

great video hoping to get out there in july . trying to find the songs on iTunes . groove to the wind bye Jewel BEAT ?

👍

Cool what kind of bike?

You should try one with no music background or it is dropped in only for a drama moment. Just the motor and you and your wife.

Good afternoon and congratulations. Could you put the name of the music tracks? Thank you
