In the season two finale of Moto Maidens, the crew takes life's unexpected turns in stride when Zo's bike breaks down. The Maidens dive into the cool waters of Blue Springs State Park and reflect on their road trip experience.
Is it your oil bag?
Maybe you're not bike knocked over,
but they picked yours up and not Hariya's?
Well, I mean, this was, like, my bolt did just snap off,
so maybe it did get knocked over,
but I don't give you any indication.
Rip, rip.
Check your oil bag.
My oil's exploding out.
I know. No, I see that, but what?
We don't know.
Yeah, your whole tire is very slicked up.
I might...
I could take my oil bag off and, like, look back there.
Might be easier to see what's going on.
Yeah. Isn't it fun having to take everything off
just to get to one thing? Yeah.
So, even though we had to cross the keys off,
the springs is our last thing
and the thing that we made time to do.
Everything is going great.
And then Zoe's oil exploded everywhere.
Big surprise there.
It also looks like my battery is getting f***ed.
My battery cable.
That's probably why I'm having problems with that.
Probably. Tell you what.
This is, like, the final day,
and we know that we're going to this beautiful place,
this oasis, after everything we've gone through.
We just need to get there.
We got a couple problems back here, baby.
Yeah.
We got a couple things to...
You see? Yep.
I see it. There's, like...
This looks like a giant gaping hole.
Okay. I can't wait to see it.
Yeah.
I don't feel like the Moto Maidens
can do anything without a bang.
A lot of oil, also.
Aren't motorcycles fun?
I love motorcycles!
The Moto Maidens.
It's the five of us with this lust for life.
The only way it can be quenched is on a motorcycle.
Come on.
I knew something was very wrong.
Oh, Jesus.
We pick one state, take off on two wheels,
and whether it's national parks or businesses,
we try and explore all that that state has to offer.
And meet the women along the way
that make that state beautiful.
The Maidens are life.
I've never wanted to be like, this is sisterhood,
but it really is.
We are so close.
We're only four miles from the Blue Spring.
And then from there, we're, like, another 40 miles to Daytona.
So, like, we're almost f***ing there.
Melted on there with my boot.
Oh, man, I don't know how Zoe does it.
You know, my bike's still carrying some oil in my helmet
because it is sprayed so gnarly.
The big gaping hole.
I know how much it sucks having bike issues,
but we're all in this together.
Maybe that could be from your chain.
Yeah, it might be from my chain, dude.
That's maybe when my chain is getting loose.
Chain loose apparel.
Chain broken. Apparel.
All right, I love that, like, some of the things
we've been fixing has been causing other problems.
Like, we filled a hole in Mariah's fender,
and then all of a sudden, the bolt on her fender
was rubbing against her tire.
7-15.
And now your chain popped open, and you're f***ing oil.
You know, at this point, like,
I don't know what I can do for that.
I mean, we'd have to weld it.
We can't weld it right now.
You might have to hop on the back of the staffs.
This might be it. That's it.
Ooh, this is it.
I mean, the good thing is that after our seventh breakdown,
we are almost done.
We made it this far, you know?
There's been so many issues with my bike
that I didn't anticipate that I'm like,
you got me. I throw in the towel.
Let's just throw this bitch on the truck
and then, like, enjoy ourselves.
Looks like we're gonna be throwing her in the truck again.
There's nothing I can do about this right now,
and, like, I will figure it out later.
All right. All right.
You're getting ripped, y'all.
All right. You ready?
Keep it straight.
Yeah. It's gonna be hard, but...
That's the thing that differs from this to,
like, other trips.
We have a full production crew with us,
and we also have a production truck to throw her gear in
so that Zoe could still ride.
So she got on the back of Savvy
because we're on a riding trip.
She wants to ride, not get in the truck.
I'm really thankful we have the production truck.
Let's just do it like this.
Ready? Uh-huh.
One, two, three.
So having that support system, I don't know.
It changes everything. We got each other.
Good? Grooved? Yes, ma'am.
Groove is in the heart.
All right. I'll get on that side.
It is very hot outside,
and those springs are calling my name.
Whoo!
I'm dogging.
I know how heartbreaking it is for your bike
to, like, have that catastrophic failure.
I didn't want her to not be able
to finish out the ride on a bike.
You know, we're on a mission here.
We're doing some things,
and we're not gonna have you fixing your bike
the day before the last day.
Like, stop working on it. We're gonna have fun.
Let's get some air in our face and get on the back.
I can't wait for the springs!
Whoo!
We're going to the spring.
We're just gonna, like, float in the river and cool off,
and everyone's in good spirits.
Out of nooch. Yay!
Come on, now. There we go.
All right, I got to grab something out of my bag.
Oh! I got to get my swimsuit.
Oh! My swimsuit? Yeah.
My shrimp suit.
♪♪
You want to play Whale?
Play Whale. You want to play Whale?
Whale. Am I the Whale?
Whale.
Whale. You can ride me.
I'm gonna stand like, this is awesome.
It's so good.
The ocean was a nice pit stop,
but, like, all of our muscles are hurting.
We've been beaten by the sun on the road,
and we're having this beautiful, like, overcast day
and able to soak in the water and just recharge.
But this beautiful spring, that was awesome.
Whoa.
We had a good time.
Yeah, it's literally the whole trip.
Water makes me so happy.
I'm, like, obsessed with water.
Modem agents in their natural habitat.
♪♪
Give us your best feet pics.
I know.
How freaky can I get these feet?
I have, like, a vagina of rots.
Don't look at these feet.
Tammy, don't.
The spring was beautiful.
I think after a week of being miserably hot,
it was really refreshing.
I think we all needed that recharge.
I'm just trying to figure out which trees I want to jump off.
Watch me.
It's beautiful.
Look at all the palmettoes.
These are my favorite plants, but I sow on everything.
It's been great.
Getting to be with the girls is always relieving
because I'm about to go home and, like, be back
in, like, my crazy-focused, lonely world.
So being able to get in the water
and being able to ride and being around the girls,
like, I mean, my stomach hurts from laughing the entire time.
It's therapeutic.
I'm with some of my best friends
that I think I'll ever have for the rest of my life now.
It's like motor oil and sunscreen and it's great.
It's the best day of my life.
There's no story here.
It's nice.
I'm glad that I didn't work on the bike
and just enjoyed the springs.
It was so beautiful.
It was so nice.
It felt like the perfect way to wrap the trip up.
I don't know how you're doing that.
OK, me either.
That was a really good way to wrap up this adventure, for sure.
Just kind of letting loose and being a bunch of lost boys.
Jack, come on up.
Come on up.
Permission to pull up, Captain.
Permission granted.
I don't think there was a more beautiful
and more Florida way to end the trip
than to go to Blue Springs.
So it was perfect.
This morning is our final stretch back to Daytona,
which is where we started.
This trip whooped my ass more than Montana, that's for sure.
I think between the heat and the amount of breakdowns.
But I also laughed more than I ever have in my entire life,
like ever.
I'm excited to get my bike running again.
It almost made the whole trip.
But I'm happy to be on the back of my girl's bike,
back to Daytona on the last stretch of the trip.
I think this trip was a lot harder on all of us.
But it also proved how great we are when we're together.
Like all of these things that we went through on this trip
and we still came out of it smiling
and excited for the next trip already.
Not a lot of people get to have,
and I hope that everyone in the world does,
but get to have these really strong relationships
and bonds like I do with the Maidens.
Cheers.
And that I will always be eternally grateful for.
My favorite part of the trip,
it's hard to pinpoint down one specific thing.
Just like the raw, like,
feralness of going on a motorcycle adventure.
Let's roll, butthole.
And exploring with your girlfriends.
And doing it in a way that's not easy.
So, what are we trying to do right here?
We got a greasy, tight pickle of a situation right here.
You are submerged in your experience, in your adventure.
You're feeling it, seeing it, breathing it all in.
With each breakdown, there's growth.
Motorcycles and personal.
So, there's always a ton to learn
anytime you go on a ride like this.
Yep, literally chop her s***.
You know, it feels just right for it to be over.
I'm exhausted from laughing.
I'm exhausted from breaking down.
I'm exhausted from traveling.
I'm exhausted from loading and unloading my stuff.
And we maybe didn't make it where we wanted to make it.
But I feel like my cup is full.
Maybe she's born with it.
Maybe it's MonaLyn.
This trip has definitely been a recharge for me.
And it's tested my limits,
because I haven't been able to do a ride like this
since Montana.
When I got back from Montana, I immediately had surgery.
And had recovery time, and then winter came.
So, this has been me.
Being able to see how much stronger I've gotten.
And this trip, I felt strong as hell.
I can do the things I used to be able to do.
So, seeing where I'm at,
and being able to use Florida as a recharge
of my bad ass, of what I can accomplish,
and what I can do, felt good.
Where do we go?
Ew!
Woo!
Gosh darn hug.
Florida.
F***ing did it.
Get in here.
Florida.
Florida, ma'am.
Flirter.
Yeah, I'm over there, but I'm here.
Flirter, ma'am.
Half of me's over there.
You wanna take your helmet off?
Come on.
Take it off real quick.
Come on.
I'm tearin'.
Come on.
I got a little teary-eyed, I won't lie.
Come on.
Ah.
I know, well, you kind of made it.
It's okay.
I have made it.
Whatever, I'm gonna be back to it.
At least half of you made it.
Oh, I don't care if I'm sweaty.
I'll sweat all over again.
You're stinky and sweaty.
Yeah.
We're just Florida, ma'am.
Florida, ma'am.
We've been through a lot, you know?
We all have, like, gnarly alligator rashes.
Or sick barbs.
Or burns, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sick burns.
We're covered in sand, and we ate bayou roots.
We've been to all sorts of places.
Bayou roots.
We ate bayou roots.
Oil everywhere.
Oil everywhere, yeah.
Everywhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good for the skin.
It's good for the skin.
I don't know if it's possible
to be any more impressed with these women.
All of these women have hearts of gold.
They're strong-willed, I will say that.
And they're gentle and they're kind,
but they are, they're powerhouses.
Hey, I have a present for you guys.
So, Trey from Montana that we met at the old saloon,
you know, that has the little wolf leather.
Marion.
These were supposed to be here for you guys
to use on the trip,
but you can use them on the next trip.
Hey.
You're a sweet angel.
Thank you.
I'm so excited to see them.
I wanted these so bad, you have no idea.
What's it gonna be?
Oh my God!
Shut the f*** up, Marion!
What the f***, dude?
These are so insanely cool.
I know.
It has our logo on it.
You can clip on it here for your phone.
I'm taking this off.
JP's actually laughing at this the whole time
because I was like, they have no idea.
Aren't these awesome?
Not all of us were super close when we first did Montana.
You know, we all knew each other from Mariah,
but it's not like we had like, like that.
And this trip, it just solidified where we're like,
we all understand each other.
We're tired, we're beat up,
but we f***ing did it and we made it to the end.
Like the camaraderie between us women is just,
it's incredible.
Man, Zoe's MacGyver comedic wizard.
Lex is just like always nurturing, loving, and caring.
Mariah's mama bear, you know,
but she's more like dad bear because she's stubborn.
I don't want to cut my fender.
And Amanda, she's our pit bull.
And our cartographer as well.
Yeah, I'd just gently open that if I were you.
There's our map.
We might need a new map.
Amanda has to go back to school.
And so she is flying back to Pittsburgh
and I'm going to trailer her bike with mine
in the morning back up to the Northeast.
We f***ing did it.
Doing it, doing it, doing it.
I'm not ready to leave the girls.
It's extremely emotional in so many different ways.
I'm very sad.
I'm not ready to go home.
And knowing that we're all so far away from each other.
And even though we're a phone call away, it's hard.
I'm not ready to say goodbye.
Never are.
It's not really goodbye, it's see you later,
but it's still, it's hard.
I'm not ready.
Throw a little ankle.
The maidens, we're just a f***ing strong, powerful force.
No f*** with us.
Or our pit crew.
Caffeine, sunscreen, Vaseline.
Yeah.
Gasoline.
Look at me.
Live, love, laugh.
Electric toaster pad.
Uh, do y'all want to start pushing Amanda's bike over?
Uh, I think we have the keys.
We can just ride it, right?
Yay!
I think I'm Ellie Portado.
We have to put this up higher though.
It's the load up and where we all have to say bye
and see you next time.
And I'll individually load up our bikes
and kind of head our separate ways.
Yeah!
Good.
Oh my God, our ramps are amazing.
So crooked.
Really good little handlebars.
Oh yeah, my left arm was straight
the whole time we were riding back
and my right arm was...
Still got her home.
I feel like everybody, including our motorcycles,
limped out of Florida.
It's rough on your body and it's really rough on your bike,
no matter what you're riding.
So it's going back through your bike again
and getting your body and your bike ready
to do it all over again.
And we're in.
You did what?
I hide it.
The ending's always bittersweet, you know?
You live a lot of lifetimes on these adventures.
I'll go through all that in a sec.
I went through all that stuff already.
I got my hat.
The rest is Lex's, I think.
This break was perfect, you know?
Being able to like go on the road with my girls.
And get a little wild for a minute.
You're now a motorcycle rider.
Oh my gosh.
Brother.
Whether it's a bike breaking down physically
or mentally, not well,
all of us being supportive and being there for each other
is what the maidens are.
And that's what we do for each other.
Dude, I f***ed up my arm.
Lifting something.
Your back, my arm.
Our bikes are limping and we're limping.
Bodies and bikes falling apart.
Lori, you did kind of shoot us up and spit us out.
Zip tied and I'm super glued.
I'm a little sad it's over.
But luckily we get this opportunity to get together
and go for these rides and go explore and get the s*** done.
I mean, we made it.
Nobody died.
Except for Zoe's bike.
We've done it.
We don't want to leave each other.
We don't want the ride to be over.
But by it being over,
that means that we get to start planning the next one.
And the experiences that we had
will hopefully inspire other people
to do this for themselves.
And it does not have to be on a bike,
but I hope it is.
I'm done.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I'm done.
I'm f***ing done.
I'm going to lock these puppies up.
Yay.
There is s*** we can't do.
