STS Documentary (I did not make this one! Please see my notes in the drop-box)
Published 2024-07-06
As filming began, I was amazed at the technology of their equipment. I’d seen nothing like it. The huge Star Wars piece I nicknamed “Robo Camera” could be strapped to the hood of a car, warn on the chest, or whatever, while being completely controlled with screen and joy stick from a remote location. There was a van so stuffed with high tech crap that I thought it might actually be the inside of a space shuttle.
For three days and a morning these guys worked me from sun up to sun down. Mostly, I just did as told and tried to accommodate whatever they asked of me. They wanted to see a camp; an abandoned house; etc. And of course, any philosophy I wished to through in.
It was certainly a fascinating experience to suddenly be an actor, the star of a movie, and the main center of attention. I mean, a technically homeless person with only one old motorcycle and a sleeping bag. Really?

My book “Josie’s Journey” is a not a motorcycle book, but rather a spiritual tale told in the story of one man’s journey to freedom. However, Josie’s is not a flowery yarn, nor does it venture anywhere near the sterile cleanness or deep phycological thought of many spiritual books:

Zelle. A Canadian couple (who recently canned their PP) turned me on to this one. Supposed to be super easy and uses no middleman. It’s in the app store. You just need my email: [email protected]

Notice: I DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO!! It was made by a real documentary outfit called Lost & Found Films. Please check the copy I left in the Drop-Box of this vid. It tells all about my filming experience with them. Lost & Found does documentaries on folks they find interesting. They have plenty of others. Heres a link to the original STS documentary posted on the Lost & Found Films website. www.lostfoundfilms.com/scootertramp

I have not seen lightning bugs in years and I live in the mountains....... Thank you After riding for over 40 years, my husband passed, and he was the wrench.. I could do basic maintenance but beyond that, to the shop.. They know when you are 60plus and a widow... Chaching!! Then diagnosed with terminal breast and brain cancer I gave the Shovel to my brother.. It has been a year and a half since they told me I had 3 to 4 months left, well here I am.. I had a 65 Pan with suicide shift ..and a 73 Shovel.. I so enjoy your story and wish I was 40 years younger and do what you are doing. Thank you for the ride... Peace Out.........

Anybody over the age of 40 that rides a motorcycle and doesn't know who Scott is, really isn't a biker. Brother you may not have led off to be an inspiration and legend larger than life, but you are and always will be. Keep on rollin' that sunset isn't that far away.
-
I’ve probably watched this 20 times over the years and just watched it again.
-
Being a 55 yr old, who has been working all my adult life , I am living through part of it through your videos. I thank you again for sharing your ride through life man.
-
Scotty’s quote from his early travels in & out of Big Bear Lake is my favorite: ‘First I hated coming home, then I hated being home’.
-
You need to make a feature film out of this. I think it would be a hit. You have led such an interesting life and are such a lifted storyteller. My favorite television show when I was a kid was Then Came Bronson. This was way better because I know it's real life, not some scriptwriter's fantasy. God bless you, Scotty. Keep up the great videos.

"There is nothing better that a man shall rejoice in his own works, for that is his position" God bless you Fella... Thank you

This is one of my favorite videos that was ever put out about you brother. You’re an inspiration! See you out on the road Brother and most importantly stay free!

Love it Scotty! This stuff needs picked up by discovery or travel channel.. velocity maybe. We need ..
-
Thanks! I looked for this video many times and thought it was gone :)
-
Scotty you really must write a book about your life on the road. This video is just inspirational 😊.
-
Awesome, awesome video. Thanks for sharing with us.
-
I could sit and listen to your story for hours. Nice work, good job. Give me more.
-
Outstanding video Scotty. I would love to sit around a campsite and just listen to the story of your life on the road. You are living the life a lot of us wish we had the balls to. You take care and ride safe bud. Maybe someday I will have the pleasure of crossing paths with you.
-
I really enjoyed listening to your story, and lifestyle. BTW I think this is your best film production. You and others put a lot of hours into this one. It is excellent

I was a third generation roofer, working with my grandfather, father, brother, uncles, cousins,, until I was thirty. Quit and moved on to something else. I swear some thirty five years later I still look at roofs as I ride along…
-
This is really well done. You have a tremendous philosophy on life that we could all use no matter the lifestyle.
-
It's definitely an epic journey you've traveled Scotty, glad I got on board years ago, thanks for the inspiration and and a little backstory on your beginnings and lady's met along the way, keep em coming Scotty and stay free 🦅

I bet I have watched this at least 50 times over the last couple of years, and it gets better every time I watch it. A masterpiece in my opinion...the true meaning of life. Beautifully done.
