Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words! It is always fun to hear from people and get their reactions to the videos. Northern California is an absolute playground for people who ride motorcycles. But I gotta tell you, I am really wanting to ride north again. You can expect more adventures going up into Canada soon. Thanks again for watching! 😎🍻

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words, and I have to admit, Northern California is indeed “magical“! 😎 You are absolutely going to love that hike on the lost coast, and it’s really fun to do it on a motorcycle as well. Thank you so much for watching and I really really appreciate the comments. It’s always fun to interact with people that watch the channel and I am Always grateful to hear what people think of it. Safe rides and we’ll see you on the next adventure 🍻😎

It’s never too late to comment😆 I’m glad you enjoyed the series, that spot for lunch was so quiet and peaceful. I hung out there for about an hour and yes, Eureka is a fantastic place to visit with interesting places to see. I’m glad you could ride along, the next adventure is just around the corner. Happy holidays,…😎🍻

Thanks!! 😎🍻

I’m glad you enjoyed the series! I have roughly somewhere around 40,000 miles plus on the bike so far. I had the instrument cluster replaced under warranty, but it doesn’t reflect the actual mileage now 😝 I absolutely love this bike and I know someday I will wear it out so I’m actually considering buying another one and just stash it away in the garage until needed🤔😂 Thanks for the prayers and stay safe, my friend! Thanks for watching! 😎🍻

Hey, thanks very much! I’m trying to stay consistent with that Sunday morning with your coffee kind of vibe, if you know what I mean 😆 Thanks for watching, and I always appreciate the comments! 😎🍻

I am currently wearing a helmet made by Bell and it is their adventure series. It’s pretty good but to be honest it’s a little noisy. It’s good for the price, but I might be getting something different soon. Thanks for watching and I always appreciate the comments! 😎🍻

Hey, that’s great! Well welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing! I’m kind of going for that Sunday morning with your coffee kind of vibe 😎 more to come…..

It happens to the best of us! 😅 I’m glad you enjoyed the ride through the redwoods, now that it’s winter time I’ll be doing a lot more riding through the redwoods in the area. I have a request from another viewer to check out an area of the redwoods in southern Humboldt, soon as I get a break in the weather I’ll be heading that way so standby 😎🍻

Fantastic! Next time I’m in, I will tell them you’re coming! 😎🍻 “Good riding, good food, and good beer…..” it’s a way of life 😎🍺 Always good to hear from ya my friend, see you in 2027!

Sweet news Brother. The 452 doesn't do anything for me either. 22 Himalayan 11,600 miles in Vegas. Ride Safe! Forrest may spring for a 452 from what I have watched.

I have roughly somewhere over 40,000 miles on my 2021 411 Himalayan. I know if I ever sold the Mudhorn I would regret it immediately so I don’t think that will be happening. I am considering buying a 2023 for 411 Himalayan That has 12 miles on it for $3500 and just put it in the garage for later, lol, or when my daughter is finally ready to start riding around with me. But I have to admit I am looking at the 450 as well, I love the looks and the charm of the 411 but it is really difficult to make those long distance trips on it. The bike does fine. I just don’t have enough free time to do it that way if you know what I mean. I think that’s where the 450 will solve that long distance getting there to start the journey problem. Congratulations on your second Himalayan 👍 thanks for watching!😎🍻

I’m definitely considering it, but I’ll never get rid of the 411 😎🍻 I absolutely love riding around the redwoods on the 411 Himalayan, it is perfect!

@NorthboundMotorcycleADV Enjoy! I am still riding every day. You are a testament as well as a North West Advocate for Royal Enfield. Keep up the great work. Other than my fork gaiters disintegrating...I have had not one problem. No wonder...Built like a Gun! Boy that pizza looked awful tasty

Redwood trees will sprout from the cut stumps or roots. Logging (mostly) harvests the stem, then the original tree will come back from the root stock. That said, some of the timber companies are actually cloning the trees, starting with just few cells. They are looking to optimize the value of the harvest. (Fewer limbs, better growth.)

Redwood trees sprout from dormant buds, called burls that are usually around the main stem of the tree just under the soil line, although it is not uncommon to see them sprouting up higher in the tree as well. If the tree is damaged, it sends a hormone down to the burl, waking it up and sprouting another clone. That’s how we get the famous redwood circles, in fact that gives me an idea for my next video. I happen to know where there’s some great examples of this and I will ride out there as soon as possible and film and discuss. Thanks for the inspiration! 😎🍻

@@yowser8780 That’s so cool. Like crustaceans that grow new limbs when they loose one. I learned something. This explains why when I cut an alder or cottonwood down, new shoots come out the stump. Same idea I suppose. Thanks.

Thanks 👍 more to come 😎🍻

I appreciate you saying that, it really means a lot, thank you for riding along! 😎🍻

I absolutely agree, yes it might not be the fastest bike out there, or it might not live up to something else that other people want or think they need. But for those of us in the know, these bikes are fantastic! I recommend them to everyone! Really glad you’re enjoying the series, thank you very much for the comments and for watching! 😎🍻

Words to live by my friend! 😎🍻

Thanks Neil, this sure has been a fun series! I think the best is yet to come riding through these majestic views and then ending up in old growth redwoods is something special. I’m glad you could ride along my friend, stay safe out there and see you on the next ride! 😎🍻

Thanks! 🙏 and I always appreciate the comments! Thanks for riding along 😎🍻

A Northbound Motorcycle ADV group ride ya say 🤔 I like the sound of that,… I think I’m gonna do that…🤔 Maybe next year, (maybe make it an Annual Redwood Ride) Let me give that some thought…😎🍻 Thanks again for watching!!

@ I’m so down for a Northbound Moto ADV Redwoods ride!

I too am looking to trade in my 411 for the new 450. Maybe in a month or so. Mostly so that I can start a Panama Highway series 😎🍻 Thanks for watching! Hey congratulations on the new bike by the way, what color did you get?

@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV I went with the black and gold. My 411 was the same as your Lake Blue...loved it but the new one was too much improved.

Welcome to the channel! I have a good friend that lives up in Coos Bay and I ride up to see him as often as I can and love that stretch of Highway one going up the coast. Thanks for the kind words and I really appreciate the comments! 😎🍻

😎Thanks for watching 😎🍻

I have to admit it does have its moments, and is a bit of a rattle trap as well, and is not very fast either,… But I sure love the damn thing 😝 Thanks for watching 😎🍻 (Thinking about trading in my 411 for the new 450 🤔)

Glad you enjoyed it, there’s something about old logging equipment that just draws you in. You never know what you’re gonna find in the back roads of Humboldt County my friend! 😎🍻

I am glad you enjoyed it! The views in this part of Humboldt County are really unparallel! Thanks again for watching and I always appreciate the comments! 😎🍻

Thanks 👍 Humboldt County is amazing! Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comment!🍻😎

@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV look after those points, keep your wife happy😉😄

@ that is the trick isn’t it…😎

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate the comment, this ride is so much fun and I’m really glad I was able to come back and finish it. Thanks for hanging in there with me.🍻😎

He Griz, you got any links to any good videos or articles on Douglas maybe?

@ I can’t recall where I read some of the accounts about Douglas. I believe there is really good accounting of his time in the PacNW in the book “River of the West “. He was an eccentric person for sure. Use to keep pets ( rodents, frogs?) in his pocket. Got partially blinded from climbing the volcanoes here in the PacNW. He died crossing the island of Hawaii… wanting to climb the volcanoes there. As I recall He died in a pit that was setup to catch cattle. Btw, River of the West is a good read in its own right (history of the Columbia River). I wish I still had that book… got lost a few moves ago I suspect. Hope I piqued your interest.

@@RubiKonAdventures Just watched this one here! Fantastic man!! Much appreciated. A good buddy of mine has owned and maintained a Fraiser Fir Farm since I can remember. We go every year and pick us one out. He recently retired and we luckily found another farm close by. We actually got one today. Love the history lesson this evening buddy! th-cam.com/video/1I8zfxLXt_8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6xPg5qSN69ptwy0H

@ That’s awesome. I skimmed through that a bit. I’m going to make some popcorn and watch that. Thanks! Off topic , but read about Jonathan Thorn and the Tonquin (the ship he was captain of). I’m a big history buff on the PacNW and points north. Cheers ~GrizzLee

@RubiKonAdventures will do! Thanks man. Really enjoy your channel as well man. Appreciate what you do!

It’s kind of funny, most people don’t realize just how rural Northern California is… I’ve lived a lot of places in my life, but since I moved here 15 years ago, I can truly say this is home. I’m never leaving Humboldt! 😎🍻 Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it! 🍻

Oh, that’s a fantastic way to go to Ruth Lake! Thanks for the comment, always appreciate it!🍻😎

Thanks for the comment, and thanks for letting everyone know the name. I just couldn’t remember when I was out there that day😝😎🍻

Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! My kind of comment, uncle Jim is indeed a legend of the first order and thank you so much for saying so! Epic beer, fail, indeed, mistakes were made…🍻😎🍺

Fort Bragg is about 2.5 hours from downtown Eureka but you'll be so busy with scenery and stops along the way you'll forget about time! 😎🍻

It’s a pretty spectacular place, you won’t be disappointed! I never knew they were there either and had been through there a few times myself 😝🍻😎 Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comment!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, laid-back, and entertaining is what I’m going for,…thanks for watching 😎🍻 (More videos coming soon!)

Hey, I’m really glad you like the video and welcome to the channel! More videos will be coming soon! 😎🍻

Glad you enjoyed it, I am always looking for new things to see in Northern California and share. Thanks for watching! (The clam chowder is some of the best on the North Coast) 😎🍻

Isn’t it amazing what a good ride will do for the soul! On my trip to Canada, I felt the same way, I truly didn’t want to come home and wanted the ride to continue for a bit longer. But going home leads to looking forward and planning the next trip. And it sounds like Usal Road might be yours. Thanks for the comment and safe rides! 😎🍻

Anderson Valley has been on my radar for sometime and I totally plan on doing a video down in that area. The loop you described sounds fantastic and I will definitely be looking into that one. Thanks for the suggestion! 😎🍻

I’m glad you enjoy the music! I like to find sounds that fit the scenery. It’s getting to be about time to ride up to Canada again…🤔 gonna have to put a plan together 😎❤️

I am so happy to share these experiences with you! Those trees were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and it was a perfect day for filming 😎 Miss ya! ❤️🍻😎

That stretch of Highway one is pretty amazing and I recommend it to everyone, wait till you see what’s coming in the next episode. 🍻😎 (The stout was great 👍)

Thank you so much for the kind words, I have to admit I was watching some of my early films the other day and had to laugh at myself, riding with one hand and filming with my iPhone in the other. 😂 But what I have found is a love of motorcycle touring and being able to film it properly is an incredible hobby that I have discovered in my 50s. In my humble opinion, everyone should write a motorcycle! Thanks again for watching 🍻😎

Man, I got to tell you those trees are out of this world, I’ve seen a lot of redwoods, but these were definitely something special! I will definitely be going back to look at those again in the future. As far as clam chowder, the North Coast brewery has one of the best on the north coast. In fact I might just do a new series and ride from one clam chowder establishment to the next giving reviews 😂 when it’s good, it’s great! Thank you as always for watching and I love the comments, I’m really glad I can share my adventures with you and that you are enjoying them so much. Take care and safe rides my friend. 🍻😎

Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for the kind words! I absolutely love this motorcycle and the fact that I can film it and share it with everyone is an added bonus! Thanks again for watching and I really appreciate the comment🍻😎

Jordan Creek bridge you say 🤔 I will look into that for sure 👍 Glad you liked the video and really appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching 🍻😎

If I'm allowed to butt in, my favorite time of year in northern California is the fall - Sep-Oct. Less fog, warm, fall colors. ☺️

I would have to agree completely!September through October is still warm and you get the fall colors, as far as the fog goes well that’s really a hit or miss. I would even say into November if you can swing it before the rain come. Once the winter rains really start they kind of don’t quit until spring. 😎🍻
