FILM
Sometimes Solo Road Life is Scary (but you have to keep moving)
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A solo motorcycle trip toward Overland Expo West takes in landmarks across Utah and Arizona, alongside a difficult moment on the road. The film follows the ride from a parking-lot panic attack over bike issues to arrival at the event.
About this film
Part of As the Magpie Flies’ ongoing journey from Oregon to Overland Expo, this short episode combines travel across the Southwest with an account of the strain of solo road life. The rider describes having a panic attack in a parking lot over concerns about the motorcycle. That concern is part of the journey’s story, alongside the continued progress toward Overland Expo West. The film’s runtime is just over nine minutes.
The journey
The route includes Cedar Breaks National Monument and Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah, followed by the Vermilion Cliffs of Arizona. These stops form the travel sequence on the way to Overland Expo, where the rider eventually arrives. The episode keeps both the landscapes and the unsettled experience of travelling alone in view: a worrying pause over bike issues does not end the journey.
