I think every biker has stories like these. I haven't been detained, but I have ridden through hail and snow and through a cloud on a mountaintop. I've had moments that made my knuckles white and seen things that took my breath away. I've never felt more alive than when I'm riding. Here's to many more SAFE years on two wheels!

Another option for remote areas out of cell reach is a Garmin Inreach device or a spot device. They are way less expensive than a sat phone and easier to use if you are hurt. I have a Garmin inreach mini and its so small i can hook it to my jacket and not even know its there. If i ever had an emergency all i need to do is hit the SOS button and emergency services will be able to find me. You can also set it up to alert if you are no longer moving when you are expected to be and you can send pre-canned check in messages to loved ones so they know you are ok. Great little piece of tech.

The In-reach minis are a goto for mountain travel. Can be paired to your phone for messaging, even non-emergency, and robust enough to sit outside your pack, etc so you are more likely to be able to toggle the SOS button if injured.

I was stationed at near by Holloman AFB and had to sometimes go onto the range, so I had a range badge. You are correct when you said it felt like they were doing a background check, they were. They were checking for warrants and other past criminal activity. The unit I was a part of has a monument in that visitor area you were filming in. It was that flying saucer looking thing. It was part of the Viking project that was ultimately sent to Mars in the 1970's. The missile range also have a pretty unique animal roaming out there. They have Oryx, which is the largest species of Impala. They are huge! The dust storms are no joke. I was playing in a softball tournament and got hit. The funnel was so big that it hit us, then we were in the eye for a good 30 seconds and could see the second wave coming to hit us again.

Well, dust storm, 30 mph winds gusting over 40😩… Then rain to top it off, in elevation it got down to 55 in the rain… no matter what, rain finds a way to sneak past the rain gear!! it was a learning experience for sure!! 😅. But, riding is always fun and a necessity for me. Great job on your video! Keep going girl!

I rode the dragon this past Thursday. The Tennessee portion was being repaved. Traffic was down to one lane in several spots. I couldn’t believe all of the young guys riding as if they were on a race course. My trip, like yours was mostly in the rain. The only real issues I faced was water getting into my switch controls and on my way to Myrtle Beach bike week, hitting a hail storm.

Living in the SW USA the wind storms are no joke. I had to ride across Death Valley in 50-60mph wind gusts and it was no fun. That is just a normal wind storm for the area as they can get much worse, and that is why I always travel with extra water and food. Just in case I need to stop somewhere to avoid the weather.

I just started riding myself. I bought my first motorcycle this year a Kawasaki KLR Adventure. Most of my riding was in the form of cycling I live on the Southeast plains of Colorado. We can have high winds and dust storms as well. You don’t want to take lightly. They will close the highway between Lamar and Springfield due to visibility. I do carry my Garmin InReach 2 which I bought when I’m in the mountains elk hunting. I just figured why not when I ride as well.

Sat phones are very expensive, but something like the Spot messenger or one of the Garmin emergency units are inexpensive in comparison and you can turn the service off between adventures. You press a button on them if you need emergency services, a button to tell family you are okay and it sends them your location on a map so they can follow along. Some of them even allow you to send texts outside cell service. They work worldwide.

On one of my couple of trips to Sturgis from Massachusetts, where I used to live, I experienced the strong Crosswinds that you were speaking of. Riding straight down the road while the bike is leaning like you were cornering is an interesting experience. We also had a friend that lost something on his bike and we had to pull over in that area. While he was retrieving his item the wind was lifting all of our large motorcycles off the kickstand. Luckily, none of them tipped over. And no matter how much you try to describe some of these experiences to people I don’t think they really get it unless it happens to them. Ride safe and be careful out there.

AM radio on intercom systems would also be handy. Travel information radio stations are AM stations. In the west this includes reports for road conditions on mountain passes. Most mountain passes can receive snow from beginning of October to the end of May. Some even longer. This overlaps with the riding seasons in the surrounding areas. Being able to hear mountain pass radio reports would be wonderful.

thank you for sharing that you were mindful of speed limits and generally took it easy and safely on your ride through Tail of the Dragon. it's a good reference to gauge danger for those of us who do ride safely and mind speed limits, exercising on the side of caution when going over mountain passes such as that one. we hear about a lot of riders dying and accidents happening, and we hear about a lot of experiences involving unecessary risk taking and thrill seeking. i seldom hear from riders who are more conservative in their riding style, and while i recognize there are times when speed can save us, it seems to be used as an excuse by many for excessively aggressive riding, and those are the stats we typically hear about. we don't hear about the 35,000 or however many riders who ride a stretch of road annually, whose rides are only enjoyable and safe.

_Looking back now, it probly wasnt the safest thing_ Such an inspiration *tq. Riding out of the lane (either into the oncoming lane or off the road) usually happens for a couple of reasons. One you mention: excess speed. The more common one newer riders experience is something called _target fixtion_ -basically means: the bike goes to the place where you fix your vision. So pin your eyes (while always scanning the space between what is coming up & where you want it to go) to that furthest point down the road youre aiming for, and the bike will follow. I learned about this bc I rented a scooter once in Europe and I allowed my inexperienced gf to drive us, figuring, _she rides a bike, so a scooter should be no problem,_ I thought. No sooner had she started, than a car began approaching in the opposite lane. Incredibly, she started driving the bike right into what would surely be a head on collision! I just automatically grabbed the steering from behind to move us back into our lane, which I overdid, and so also fell. Luckily slow enough so no damage or harm was done. Lesson learned in more ways than one. That's what empty lots are for and also abt target fixation, which I'd also experienced (not as extreme but still) on twisty roads.

A danger you didn't mention with dust storms is that you are inhaling a lot of sand and dust. That's Very unhealthy, and can literally strangle you. In cars, the airfilters filter away most of the dust. But as motorcyclists, we don't have anything preventing it entering our lungs.

The Santa Ana winds are no fun in SoCal either! Learning to ride sideways is a must.

Garmin Inreach or Spot GPS tracker. I do multiple solo long distance ADV rides a year and the Inreach is a must carry. It's zip-tied to my hydration pack so in the event it's a single button press for emergency services. It's also track-able by my family. Lets them worry less. And forget everyone telling you it's too dangerous. To me part of the appeal is being outside my comfort zone and doing things that most won't.

Yup I have an Inreach. I only keep the account active summer months. In the winter I still ride but only right around where I live which has 100% phone coverage. They're expensive but should last years.

Yikes! White sands police definitely did a background check. Once they figured out you’re harmless and lovely I’m sure they were pretty relieved. 😂

As a person who lives in an area sometimes subject to coastal flood advisories, Florida, I can reassure you that you weren't likely in any danger to encounter any flooding unless you were essentially on a body of water or within a few blocks of one. To be fair, a coastal flood advisory might correlate to especially tempestuous weather and its associated dangers and might be a decent indicator of how bad the weather is.

In 2017 on my first road trip I ran into a big dust storm between Vegas and Reno... other more experienced riders gave up while I pressed on. While driving at an angle to stay on the road and visibility less than 1/4 a mile two headlights became four... I swerved onto the shoulder to avoid colliding with an RV, got back onto the road and got a salute form 8 HD tour bikes that saw what almost happened. That was awesome, and very scary and one of my favorite stories of how God gave me the chance to LIVE!
