Hey guys!
My fiance, Alex and I recently went on a road trip across America on a TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 900. Many people thought we could not do it on a small bike like that, but through the trip we've proved them wrong (by 'many people' I meant all the Harley riders, haha). Triumph bikes are hardy bikes!
Note: I do not ride a bike. I survived being a pillion rider on my Alex's beautiful modern classic scrambler. Umm I am having difficulty uploading a photo of it right now. When I upload it it gives me a red exclamation mark beside it. Maybe because I am still a newbie?
I've been with Alex for about 5 years now. And since day one, I've known that he loves 2 things: Flying and Riding. He has always dreamt of taking a long bike trip through somewhere beautiful and scenic. I longed for the day I could help him accomplish that.
Anyway, I was in Toronto with Alex for 6 months before I had to fly to California to visit my mom. About a little more than 2 weeks before I was scheduled to fly off, Alex came to me one night with a huge smile on his face and asked, "Cancel your flight." What?!! And then he said sheepishly, "Let's RIDE there!"
And so begins the trip of our lives. Toronto > Michigan > Illinois > Iowa > Nebraska > Colorado > Nevada > California!
!!
Here's the video I spent about a week to edit and piece together.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed riding through the beautiful America. It was breathtaking and we were truly humbled by all the people we met and nature we've seen!
