Duuuude, thanks so much for sharing this! I figure I'll keep each episode about every 2 days of the trip, so expect about 10 videos ;D

So much envy ^-^

Thanks for posting Morgan.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter(s) with a bit of reluctance (based on those broken bits)
Sam, will the next chapter(s) be rated G? :)
-
Part 2!

Thanks again for sharing!! And yep, they should all be kid-friendly if that's what you mean. Not so much gas-friendly ;D

Great installment!
The drone is a nice addition.
Still not looking forward to the broken bits..... §£|¥ €~^ ¥$$$$!!!! :P
-
Yeah. Not knowing if I'll be seeing a crash in the next ten minutes is anxiety inducing.
But I guess that's all riding. It's a dangerous world out there.

Gotta keep you guys on your toes ;D

Awesome drone footage on installment 3.
You made it without a push!!

Looks like Installment 4=broken bits :'(

Haha hopefully I'll get some time this week to finish editing it. I'll let you know that we survived the trip but one of the bikes did not. ;D

Bikes are kinda like brake pads: a wear item that eventually needs to be replaced. :P

:-[ Bummer Dude
First off I’m glad that ALL Humans Survived :D
Take your time (or not at all) in telling us the gory details (fingers crossed/hoping it wasn’t too bad).

Episode 4 is up!

The end of gas bikes like the last march of the Ents. :)
Amazing videos, views, and storytelling as always.
Real estate agent to Sam
"Lets set up a day and I'll show you this house."
Sam's response
"No thanks lets just see the roads."

With scenery this good, you want to delay the end :D
-
Hahaha we just shot too much footage, so this 19 day trip will probably end up being a 10 episode series, which will take me 5 years to finish editing ::) ;D
-
Enjoying the series btw! The Mrs. and I watch it on the tellybox.

I really love to see those pictures.
And the bike is awesome!
But why oh why did Energica built it to be such an unnecessarily noisy bike? This appalls me so much.

It isn't so bad IRL. I could clearly hear the mounting frame of my license plate vibrate. Enough to make me screw it down directly to the holder :). Looks like microphones on GoPros tend to be much more sensitive on high frequencies.
-
Is it loud with earplugs in though? I'm guessing maybe it's not that bad at all. (Shame I never got to do over 30mph on one to find out). I quite like the spaceship noise it makes.

I usually ride with earplugs on my Yamaha, but not with the Energica. Wind noise takes over at around 70 km/h (if you are not accelerating hard).

Wind noise is why I wear earplugs on ANY bike be it ICE or Electric.
-
Same here... I must have ridden for 10 years before I realised I was going deaf from riding. Last 20 years has been with earplugs in, always, and my hearing hasn't got any worse.
Cas :)
-
Yeah it's loud, but they did that on purpose. I feel like the Energica's reduction gear noise replaces the sound of a gas engine so it's easier for bikers to make the switch to electric without "losing the soul". On the highway you don't even notice it, but around town, there's no sneaking around like on a Zero ;D
-
Thank you for this series! Much appreciated.
-
With the Zero I can actually enjoy the surroundings (if I do not run 150 km/h on the highway).
With the Energica I cannot. Either I hear the whining of the bike or I plug my ears and hear close to nothing.
The noise (and the chain drive) are the main reasons why I did not even consider to buy an Energica. Even though I think they are otherwise superior in almost any aspect.
-

On my Zero, I put a silicone plate frame to remove the rattling sound!
Man, I so wanna ride somewhere pretty... Oh, wait, I do ^-^

New video!! Even longer ;D

Alpacas!

What an amazing place and trip for the two of you.
I was hoping there would have been a Zal Mart to pick up a battery and make more stops without worry.
But you'll be in the drama category come Oscars.
Thanks for taking the time with all the editing it's coming out great.
Just imagine looking back on these videos when yall are in your nineties. Even the bad bike will seem like so much fun. :)

Dude, exactly! I really love going back and watching these already. It's been a few months since we did this trip and it's fun to relive it. I forgot about a lot of this stuff.
The Triumph problems actually seem to make the series more interesting. It's a fun road trip, but also an ongoing struggle to keep the bike alive, knowing it will die eventually, but not knowing how ;D
-
................knowing it will die eventually, but not knowing how ;D
The suspense is Killing me :o
That Britten V1000 deserves a link.

And the Oscar for best interpretive dance during narration of a documentary, comedy, or thriller goes to:
Jen Baker. (who also preformed all her own stunts)
Great job guys, thanks for putting in all the editing and filming time to share your trip with the world.

That's it, folks. It's all over!

That was awesome!!!!!!
-
Hahaha thanks everybody! ;D It was the most fun trip and also the most fun editing I've had in a long time. We learned a lot and this was a great preparation for our round the world on electrics trip, whenever that happens!
-
Thank you both!
-
That's it, folks. It's all over!
Very entertaining series! Keep up the good work!
Which Energica is Jen looking to get?

Which Energica is Jen looking to get?
Not sure yet. We're leaning towards an Eva Ribelle but she's never ridden one. It's so hard living on the other side of the world ;D

The rest of the world won't be in pandemic forever. You can come back to California sooooon.
