I Needed This
I Needed This!
We take the Can-Am Spyder down to Currituck NC, Stop for Pit Stop at the “Boarder Station” in Moyock, then stop for lunch at “Pass the Salt Café” then take the Ferry back over to Knots Island and our ride home. We avoided most of the traffic on Rt 168 by taking the back roads. We had unusually mild July day with temps in the 70’s. After experiencing a family loss, Miriam proclaimed “ I needed this!”
We are proud to be Can-Am On-Road Ambassadors for a third year.

Hanging out at the Peaks of Otter Lodge
It’s so hard to lose a parent. Lost my 96 yr young Momma in Feb. Hugs to you & thank you for the ride. 💕
It would have been nice to see the bleeding procedure, but thanx
Hi John, on a different issue, I notice you wear the Rev-It bike jacket and I would like to know what you think of it? I tried one on recently and it seemed to fit very well but am curious to know how it performs in the elements, like Sun, Rain and Cold? I guess you could say it's my goal to purchase the right riding Jacket to cover all conditions. Thanks, Mike. 🙂
John, why dont you use the factory Garmin Nav on your Spyder.....other spyder owners neither use it....WHY????
Glad to see you visited Pass the Salt. We love that place and go there every time we pass through the area. So sorry to learn about your dad, Miriam. We have kept you in our prayers.
Thank you, Wilma. It has felt harder this time. I guess it’s the double whammy of experiencing my own loss and also seeing my mother’s sadness. This past Sunday would have been their 70th anniversary. Many, many blessings…trying to focus there.
A beauty day for a ride. My condolences to you and your family
Just learned of your father’s passing, so very sorry! Prayers for your family!
Thank you, Bill.
Loctite and a pipe wrench or adjustable jaw wrench to hold the top. When you get home you can drill a hole through the bolt below the nut and put a cotter pin in it or goober up the threads or give it a tack weld. Plus you didn’t tighten that near tight enough… you need a 3’ long pipe on that wrench…
#1 goal…help kids and grandkids into Heaven…
Glad you got some wind therapy...good for the soul!
I absolutely love ferry rides!
Oh, Miriam...and John...here are some big hugs from Tommy and me! God bless you both! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, Jody and Tommy. Thank you for your card too. We have been blown away by all the kindnesses. There is joy amongst the sorrow! My 89 year old mother is and has been an absolute marvel. Yesterday would have been their 70th anniversary.
@@miriambryant1896 awhh... I'm sure that was a tough day for her... missing the love of her life... Oh this circle of life can be so hard sometimes for sure, Miriam! 🙏❤️🥺
Sure does look lush and green!
Wow, Miriam! That arm twist you gave John was pretty tough, lol
Sorry to hear about your loss Miriam. Thanks for sharing, and for sharing your lives with us on your Spyder travels. Love your channel. Ride blessed you all
My wife and I just completed a 10500 mile trip on our Honda goldwing. We did the planning you talked about, with one exception. We have always planned the trip to the nth degree. This time we had a vague trip plan, but no reservations in hotels. This allowed us to take side roads and change destinations each day as opportunities presented themselves. It worked really well and we plan to do it this way again.
Our thoughts are with you Miriam. Sorry for your loss.
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS !!!
Spyder ride sure beats cutting the grass. Wish we had a ferry ride close by. Always great to get on the water. What’s with the mid 70’s. We passed thru the Badlands National Park after lunch at Wall Drugs and it was a toasty 107. So many bikes heading to Sturgis. Glad you guys got out. Won’t be long till the meet up. God Bless ,Ray & Linda on our way home. Hoping Debbie stays west.
interesting perspective. I just turned 55 and keep trying to save up in our 401k because we didnt start early..The wife has expressed interest in a spyder recently. Ive ridden motorcycles since 1995. She got her motorcycle license and developed medical issues before she could even ride her motorcycle. Now she is talking about these. Thinking maybe quality of life for the next 10 years or so may be a better investment in something like this. The big negative of these is the amount of garage space they take up, and trailering. Do you find it hard to find parking at rallies?
That was a very nice ride thanks for taking us along take care have a great weekend
❤❤❤
We just came back from 2 weeks vacation and saw this. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family…..Derrick & Elvie
Thank you kindly. Hope you had a great trip.
@@miriambryant1896 yes we had, thank you 🙏
Sorry to hear about you dad's passing Miriam. I have kind of been out of the loop on here. A good ride is what everyone needs that has a bike just to get out and think and unwind especially on a nice day
Enjoyed a ride with some of my CMA chapter members via back roads to through Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive to Luray and Front Royal to Linden to eat at the Apple House. We usually go to the Outer Banks every two years and 168 is always crowded heading north or south. We usually stay in Corolla. Haven't taken the Knotts Island Ferry yet but will have to ride the Spyder to enjoy that adventure.
Miriam , so sorry to hear of your Dad passing. Sending prayers for comfort. It was a nice day for a ryde on the Spyder. Tracy and I have done that. I don’t enjoy mowing even with a rider mower. Any excuse is a good one 😅 Ryde safe and God Bless
What a beautiful day for a Spyder ride. Not leaving the 70's... totally jealous. Mowing the grass....nope never gonna do that again.
Miriam, sorry to hear of your father's passing. When I was struggling with the same situation, a friend told me to only remember the good times. I've spread the same quote many times. Enjoy the sunny days, glad you could remind John that there was enough time to mow the grass. My yard takes a solid 2 hours- no trimming.!! Putting off until tomorrow is my famous line. Of course living alone I get only positive feedback. 👍👍
John, Miriam, thanks so much, your video's are holding me over until I get my Spyder RT limited
What a wonderful ride! The weather here has been too hot to enjoy a ride; 90's with humidity into the 100's and the thunderstorms that come with it. Next week looks better as we are preparing for a couple of September trips (I rewatched your packing videos for great tips) Cheers to the Mission Commander and her Pilot. Now, I gotta mow the lawn 😂
😊 your comments always make me smile, Richard!
Sunny and 70s... in July... that's perfect for riding. Luv'd the intro, and way to go John, you got back just in time to make sure that lawn mower gets a little wind therapy too 😂👍
Looks like a nice ride. Unfortunately it's hot, too hot for me to ride but maybe tomorrow we'll get up early and go for breakfast and back home before it hits 90.
Miriam, I'm sad to hear of you dad's passing. Never a good time when a parent departs. Yall had a very nice ride I see. For we old folks it's been too hot to go out into the day. Some days in the hundreds. Have yourselves a very good day. Later.
Very sorry to hear you lost your Dad, It makes for a tough time for a while. Beautiful ride and I have always enjoyed your little scripted pieces. You two have very good imaginations.
"Still have time to cut the grass", perfect ending to a perfect day and a romantic ferry ride. Maybe Millie and I go for a Spyder ride after our morning walk and your inspiration. Condolences Miriam.
Really enjoyed watching you ride today! It feels so much peaceful….i don’t ride as often as I wish so i imagine myself following you and i enjoy the landscape Have a great weekend my friends!
Great video, guys. Big shout out to John on the lead-in. That was classic! Looks like a beautiful ride. I've only traveled once on a car ferry and it was very cool.
Love the ending and yes that’s what I would say 😂
A Beautiful day for a ride I Loved the start to your video I laughed and I looked at my husband we do that. I am so sorry to hear that your Dad has passed sending Love and hugs from afar. (Australia) ❤
What a beautiful ride! Thanks for the video. So sorry to hear about your dad! Sending prayers for comfort.
Nice day
Best advice for personal growth ever ! ! Knowing where to go starts with where your past has been. ❤
Hi John & Miriam. We have finally achieved our goal of taking the Spyder to Glacier National Park and riding the Going to the Sun Road. Amazing adventure. Spent 5 days in and around the park. Now off to Beartooth Pass and then around S Dakota. Most planning I’ve done in a long time. Looking forward to our meetup. God Bless, Ray & Linda
How nice! Glacier has to be one of the most beautiful places in earth! Can’t wait to hear about it in person!
Enjoyed the video. Good luck with the planned trip. cheers from Sweden
Interesting video John. I live with a planner and I am more of a, to use a term you might be familiar with, "flying by the seat of my pants" type of traveler. Our approaches maybe very different but we each benefit from the others knowledge and enthusiasm. We've had so many fun adventures and always looking for the next one! You guys definitely inspire us to keep reaching new adventures! Look forward to seeing you both again soon.
Excited for your 2025 trip wherever that may be to! 🤗
Yes, I was glad that when you were planning your Canadian trip, I appreciated you talking about the health insurance because we then looked into that. We also figured out the plan with our cell phone service as well while traveling through Canada.
Really super glad this formula and goal planning works for you both in your trips! 💜🤗 We did a lot more planning for our Alaska trip than any other trip but that was because of all the logistics involved and lack of lodging and knowing where we could stop for gas etc. However on trips in the lower 48 we tend to roll and go more with the flow. That works for us. We accomplish our goal and destination but sometimes it's a lot of fun getting there in a different way than what we had envisioned. But that's just us. 💜🤗
Even John has moments (occasionally) of “just go with it”! Got to be open to serendipity!
What a fantastic quote!
Having a Spyder has opened me to so many new possibilities for traveling. I've discovered so many places right here in my home province and just the two neighboring states of VT and NY! I also discovered that I can ride long distances, when planned properly. Two trips coming up soon where I will definitely apply the principles you outlined here. Cheers John!
