This guy is great! What a life! I've never seen anybody ride a motorcycle in heavy snow like that let alone live off of his motorcycle, amazing! I hope he's still riding and traveling. Btw, my late grandfather was 100% finnish, would love to visit finland myself.

You Sir, are simply amazing! I wish you all the best and I hope you will get to visit all the places you dream of. Ride safe and keep on riding!

Hello Murph! Just found you and, Wow! Just, Wow! Moved to tears. I'm a cancer survivor and BMW F650 commuter, my world is pretty small but Life is Good. I bought your sticker set. Hope that gets you a warm cup of coffee or another liter of gas for your hack. God speed and praying for you on your adventure. Ed, CT-USA.

Hello Murph! The way you live is the way that a lot of bikers, and others, probably would want to live, however, though to responsibilities at home never dare to. I think it's awesome the way you live your life. I'm a 20 year old Dutch student and having ridden 4000 km trough Laos and Vietnam and planning to do a tour trough south-east, east europe this summer, you are quite the inspiring person. That's why I try to save up money and travel as much as possible before having responsibilities to follow up to. But for now; good luck on your further travels!

If it weren't for my family (my children are still small and I'm 48) I Would be on my cruiser doing the same. Live your dream! You are real motivation for me. God bless and keep safe.

Murph, I've been following your journey for some time now. I'm sure it gets lonely and frustrating at times, but what an adventure! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride and sharing those awesome pictures of yours. You have a great perception of landscapes. Travel safe!

Hey Murph, watched this video with the whole family, and from our 4 year old to 40 year old we were all inspired and loved Rovaniemi. Wish you a safe journey and hope all your dreams come true. Thank you MT for bringing us real people.

this is awesome. mad respect. ride on brother.

Bully for you, Murph ! It is always a joy to watch someone doing what they were meant to do and living the life that they chose.

Really enjoyed this.. It's so nice to see something good when we live in such bad times.

It's great, and still inspiring, to see Murph doing well and living life on his own terms. May the roads you travel and the paths you carve treat you well, sir. All the best.

Murph, you are living many people's dream! And most people are tangled by what they have and are afraid to lose. keep going and all my best wishes!

Awesome episode!

Keep on truckin' through, Murph. We're all rooting for you!

Murph, you sir are a good person. Be safe and good luck on your travels.

inspiring simplicity!

I was asking myself the same question, thanx for the honest answer. As far as I'm concerned you are living the dream, I admire you for doing it. I'll go visit your site for sure. Good luck

I oftentimes wonder what it is that causes people to do the things that they do, whatever that nay be. But, I kind of get this. Your enthusiasm inspires me. Thanks for sharing the dream.

Jamdc, thanks for the plug, and happy to have you as a follower, Thanks and cheers, Murph.

Live long and prosperous my friend...

This is so awesome! I need to start taking the steps to live the other "normal" life. Great video and happy journeys.

Wow, that was really.. moving :). Glad people like you exist. Enjoy the ride!

I love that bike - I thought only Ural had a 2WD Side car motorcycle! All the best Murph. I'd love to do the same.

Very inspiring. Keep on truckin friend! I hope you add more amazing photos to your collection, and more importantly; joyful memories.

Murph is back! Awesome!

Awesome video.. We never have enough of those personalities

What an inspiration. This guy must have amazing inner peace. My hat's off to you, sir.

I've followed on your website, Expedition Portal, Overland Journal, and even with Leno. You're the man Murph, keep it up!

Awesome story. -applauds

Respect for having the balls to drop everything and do something like this, many think of it but very very few actually do it !

Cool story I love people like murph who go out and do what they want

God bless you Murph!

U rock dude.. keep chasing your dream! Keep it up.

keep doing what you love!!

Murph, as a fellow photographer with a desire to see the world and a serious case of wanderlust... much respect, truly. Stay safe out there man.

Thepod, it is, it's a great feeling. It's a big pace, this globe we live on, although the further I travel, the smaller it seems to get. Cheers, Murph.

The goal is to know, what it is that wants to know. Well done my man!

Dear Murph You are an inspiration to all of us who stumble across this video. Keep riding safe and enjoy your life like you are doing.Greatings from a biker, globetrotter from Switzerland :-)

Loved the snowbank parking manouver hahaha!! Should be a sauna nearby.

Very cold! Two Words. Awesome video.

Gimiesome, Thank you for that, Murph.

Awesome story

Hi Murph Just watched your Finland post on KZfaq, I take my hat off to you sir, so people just exist and not live and I think it's great that you are taking on this Earth tour, they say there are two types if people in the world, those that ride motorcycles and those that wished they did, all the best and stay safe.

wish you well. Waiting for you in Australia!

very inspirational

Murph, respect !!

Murph your such an inspiration, how many of us are saying in our heads 'one day'.

Awesome..... Sir

he is truely amazing

Kudo's to you and good luck in your journey!!

I like you optimism and determination sir.

I truly envy this man.

what Amazing experiences doesn't this guy have when he looks back on what he has done with his Life and have no regrets...he will not be one of those guys who will say"why didn't i do that " ....Carpe Diem dude..you Rock

i hope he can go on forever. I dream of something like he is doing, i feel the same way of riding a motorcycle. And thanks MotorTrend for covering his story!

Awesome trip. Can't wait till I save enough money to have an exiting adventure myself.

Thanks Ed, Mike Wilson put a great piece together on this one. Murph.

Murph just reminded me how much I love traveling to places I don't even know and getting lost and all that stuff.

Murph You total Legend!!

Hey Murph ,great videos , i could not resist in dropping a word of encourgment and to congratulate a real biker , no words can measure up to what your life is , but most of us here on the day by day can only dream of something like it in bits and pieces , me 45 , about to buy a ktm 1190 adventure and ride to new found land as far as i can go and return to nc , the idea was to cross all the way to ice land and then to north of Europe to end up in portugal and or spain , monumental task in prep work and logistics for a regular guy like me , just as it got complicated i found your work and it gave me hope to continue , i suspect that i have yet to learn of more complications , but i am set on seeing it thru, as i have gave myself 6 more months to complete all that is necessary to learn and equipment to get, it is a on going fixation , for now it is just me against all odds , good luck to you and if you ever came around NC let me know , me casa su casa

He's living the life we all wish we could

Wow, inspirational

Amazing man

Best video on KZfaq !

what an incredible man!

Murph, we miss you back in Ft. Lauderdale, but it looks like you're having an awesome time up there! I like the beard! Keep on riding and sending pictures!

80, I did the Skyline and Blue Ridge in 2010, enjoy and have fun. And nothing wrong with keeping going....... Murph.

Chevelle, Thanks for the tip, I will if I get the chance. I've heard that's it gorgeous there, Cheers, Murph.

This guy is authentic

Terveisiä Suomesta, greetings from Finland! Rovaniemi is place where I grew, nice to see it in this show :) Cold but beautiful in the winter.

Tough life to live but what an incredible road to travel.

the3rddeclin, Thanks so much, glad you liked it. Cheers, Murph.

This is great. I love what ur doing. Iv always wanted to have the freedom to go wherever I want and see everything I want. It's good that somebody has been able to do that and have that kind of freedom. Kudos man. And I hope the test of ur trip hose smoothly. :)

Hey Omar. If you haven't yet, you should check out our first Downshift episode with Murph, where he talks a little bit about what led him to his epic journey. watch?v=uqU2BsNj_Wc

Jorge, Yes, you're right, it's not for everyone. Sometimes I get those moments and times in my journey that I feel like it's a little much for me too. But then I read comments like yours, and just the fact that you can see that kinda feels like a little bit of company. Thanks for that. Murph.

Lee, "stuck" in Rovaniemi FInland with the bike in pieces waiting on parts from BMW. All are on backorder. Typical BMW. New transmission bearings, new clutch, new clutch slave cal etc. All stuff that needs to be replaced anytime, so figured I'd do it now. Good luck with the lessons. If you can, get yourself an old cheap trials bike and take it out to some trails and play. That'll give you some good skills. Cheers' Murph.

He seems very happy. He gets to explore different places around the world. I hope he gets a chance to sleep in a warm bed during his trip plus I hope he stays healthy and I wish him the best. This channel should do an update of his travels every three months.

Hi Lee, Yea, bike is fine. Just some new bearings and a few other things to fix. Good to hear your lessons are going well. Big bikes are much easier to handle, right?. Good for you. Keep it up and take a long trip, Cheers, Murph.

INCREDIBLE!!!!

Good on Yeah!!!What ever makes you happy.Because that`s what counts.

Inspirational.

Finland ROCKS!! Even Mike Wilson, the producer and editor of this vid, when he came here to Rovaniemi, loved Finland. Murph.

You my friend live the best life any one could dream of

Come on lads...+1 for Murph!!!

WTF, Highest honor there in that compliment, thank you. Cheers, Murph.

andruha, Yep, different strokes for different folks. Thanks again for your response. Best, Murph.

GOD BLESS,AND RIDE ON BROTHER!
