Roxon Flex… A Shaky First Impression
Disappointment is an understatement.
Can the novelty and flexibility of being able to swap tools overcome its weaknesses? Maybe. But it ought to improve.

Backcountry Motorcycle Ride to Lake Wynoochee - Olympic National Forest

Hart's Pass to Slate Peak: Washington's Highest Road... Dangerous?

Highest motorable road in Washington state is also dubbed "Washington's Most Dangerous Road". We ride our dual sport motorcycles out for some camping in the North Cascades, and bring our GoPro and Mavic Mini 3 Pro to size up this notable road.

Rode with my buddies, Ian and Jeff. We started with a flat right out of the gate, followed by 2 recalibrations due to fire related closures. Not to be deterred, we took Hwy 2 over to Lake Chelan, and then rode dual sport routes through the North Cascades, ultimately to Hart's Pass and Slate Peak. The hardest part... mosquitos at Hart's Pass campground... be warned. Here is our combined footage....

Hi Daphne !!! Great video as usual. I have several roxon tools & they are as you say junk. They don't hold up. I call this my great multi tool delama !!! LoL. The idea of the multi tool is great but the weight factor is not for me. My favorite multi tool is the Leatherman P4 Free. So !! I do alot of camping & outdoor activities. The tool I use the least is the pliers as well as several of the other tools on the Leatherman. The tools I use the most are a knife, scissors, screwdriver & canopener. I Iooked on ebay & found a broken Serge someone was selling for forty dollars. I tracked it for a while & saw no one was interested so I made an offer that was accepted. I removed the plier head & now have a two pretty heavy duty pocket knives. The whole conversion took ten minutes. Thank You -- Joe --
As far as traveling goes, I have carried in my check in luggage a saw & Mora Garberg & never had an issue. On Jet Blue, Delta, American, Air Canada. I also have carried scalpel blades in the credit card protector in my wallet with no issues.
Interesting on the Surge. It is a conundrum… I too love the multitool in concept but not the weight and bulk. It’s probably why I keep returning to SAK options as such relatively small form factor (and high quality!) meets my needs at least 95% of the time.
@@joecat339I’m surprised about the scalpel blade… cool to know… worth a try then. Checking bags is against my religion 😝… when I must I use a small padlock to put through an inside zipper and the ring on my SAK… since baggage inspectors can be crooks. (The seed that inspired my religious conviction. 🤪😉)
I am not suggesting it, but some people just hide any sharp tools inside a bazooka. Then bring the bazooka as their carry-on item. 😜😂 Seriously though. I feel your pain about that wiggle. I wouldn't want to rely on a tool with that loose of a level of craftmanship.
🤣 Maybe I just need a few more years towards my little old lady status… my mom got through security with her MiniChamp without anyone even blinking. 🥸Although I chastised her not to make that mistake again. 😝
Love this. Bye leatherman
Posting another video now… my enthusiasm since opening the packages is dampened. But I am hoping they can improve their tolerances / quality soon. 🤞 The flexibility may still arguably supersede the weaknesses, at least for light duty applications.
@@daphnedeviWould love to hear your thoughts. IMO if the quality is serviceable for lite use its fine. For hard use, I'd go dedicated too.
@@AhmadRiyal on principle it's hard to endorse a multitool with such poor tolerances. It just feels so darn cheap too. While I am amped by the concept and that it could be used for travel by picking a permissible tool set... I think I'd rather travel with something like the Milwalkee Fastback and buy a utility blade at my destination, and maybe pair it with a Knipex plier. I don't wanna spend the $, but I'm now interested in how the GOAT tool feels in hand. I'll make another video soon with another option from Roxon once the multitool stork delivers it to me. ;)

Hi where’s the part list for the chain, sprocket sets? Can you please help me?
I believe it's a 520 chain, 108 links, with front 15 and rear 43 sprocket. Your local shop could help you probably... otherwise, here is a good site for tu250x resources out of Japan... you can order from them or at least use them to help determine parts compatibility and then search the same products from sellers more local to you. japan.webike.net/SUZUKI/TU250X+ST250/598/m-spec/

Nice soundtrack
nice footage! We're doing a video on the best Oregon roads. Could we use a few seconds of this footage and give you a credit link?
@@GreatMotorcycleRoads sure, no problem. This road definitely qualifies… although in Oregon there are so many to choose from. 🤠 I think I’ve ridden them all but I’ll look forward to your video to just in case there’s another that ought to be on my list.

What a great trip and a wonderful edit. Perfect blend of video and photo, and great music for this.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you watched because you're conjuring up your own plans for an upcoming great trip. 🤠😎 Just not to Death Valley in the summer... I heard a motorcyclist died out there a few weeks ago, near where they have a sign about birds dropping from the super-heated sky... 7:14 mark.
@daphnedevi I'm definitely going to wait on a Death Valley trip, but just getting into the ADV world and I've been scouring TH-cam for amazing rides.
Where did you find the Suzuki gel seat?? I can't find one ANYWHERE!
@@RyGuyTheAVGuy Oneida Suzuki in NY is the only place I could find one… I think when they run out that’s that… www.oneidasuzuki.com/store/parts-accessories/gel-seat-suzuki-tu250.html
@@daphnedevi I saw that but wasn't sure how reliable the site was, thanks.
@@RyGuyTheAVGuy it’s a teeny shop in upstate NY, funny to me that searching the globe it was the only place anywhere that seemed to have a seat… cost an arm and a leg, but my order was easy… no headache at all. Hopefully the site is up to date. 🤞 In other news, the seat was way firmer than I expected. But no real complaint.
@@daphnedevi Is it worth it? The stock seat is very uncomfortable for me.
@@RyGuyTheAVGuy The price was gack!… And I’m not sure I found much value by way of improved comfort, more by way of improved looks. I’d been warned the gel seat was quite hard by way of an internet comment, so I didn’t have high hopes… let’s say the comfort value is a toss up. But I have a bunch of bikes I tend to ride more, so it could be the seat breaks in a bit over more use time.
Simple basic, cheap to own and run, easy to work on. Just as cheap basic transport its great but slow.
@@Ian-bq7gp exactly… cheap, simple to work on, light fun style in town or on a country road… anemic and unstable on the highway. Actually not too stable ripping through twisties either… much better as a meandering Sunday putterer.
Really nice videos ! Thank you for sharing !😊
@@topan5091 thank you so much for watching and for your appreciation. 🙂
And those aren't even the "good," Victorinox scissors. Those are a Wenger design because Victorinox bought that company and kept making some of their models. The actual Victorinox scissors on 91mm models are far superior to either of the two shown in this video.
Good point... yes, the 91's are even buffer scissors... my dad's old SAK made a cameo to that end. Although I do like the self-sharpening little ridges on the Wenger scissors... they seem extra crisp, if not quite as muscular otherwise.
amazing
Thank you 🤠
This trip looks fantastic! Did you go on an organized tour or were these friends that you went with?
@@dlbernau hey hey 👋 😃 I went with my friend Sam, and we linked up with 2 of his buddies in Fairbanks. Sam and I rented from MotoQuest out of Anchorage ; I’m pretty sure they run tours up there. A lot of companies won’t due to accident risk and wear and tear on the bikes.
@@daphnedevi Thanks, that’s kinda what I figured. I had delusions of maybe doing this trip on my street bike, but I can see that won’t work. lol.

Have fun!... I hope you enjoy it a lot. 🤠
Thanks for the review. Does anyone know if there is a ghost position on the crown for setting the date?
I have no idea, but I bet Victorinox would be responsive to the question via email.
@@daphnedevi Thanks for the reply. If you can't feel it when setting the time, then it must not be there.
@@renngretsch If I unscrew the dial and pull it out one stop and twist, I can hear little clicks (as I imagine one might hear when setting a date… I’ve never paid attention to this before… clearly not much of a watch aficionado 😬😜) . So maybe there is a ghost position in there??? If I pull the dial out two clicks and rotate, that’s what will move the hands on the dial, with no clicking. I hope that might be clarifying. 🤷🏻🤞
I learned about this not that long ago because I had gotten new shoes and the laces refused to stay tied, and I did some research. They have never "self untied" since. This is definitely the way to do it. I wanted to teach my Mom, so I am sending her the link to this video. Thanks!
Doh! I wish I got to you first! 🤓 Delighted by the nifty timing for conveyance to your Momster though. 😄
Thanks for making this video.
Around the 0:53 mark you can see some of the misalignment of the plastics. Who can speak to whether or not it’s an equal issue on the 300L?
Wow! Please keep the cool drone through nature shots coming. Was some of that water from melting glaciers? The color was stunning.
Hi Lincoln 😁 Definitely from snow melt. My buddy says it will be twice or more the flow volume earlier in the Spring. He also mentioned seeing rivers turned red with the density of salmon back in the 80’s… not anymore 😢. I thought the coolest was the rocks carpeted with so much moss… it seemed magical and otherworldly. As for the drone… I wish I’d had a filter or otherwise had better controlled for exposure. It’s tough when it’s so bright out. Also tough… flying without GPS signal when under the tree canopy. It would be easy to lose the drone in the falls with one wrong twitch of the controls or miscalculation. 👻😬🙈 Definitely some more videos contemplated for this summer. 😎
This was cool! I saw a similar mod video on Anne’s channel, and she snapped the blade, and I bought a Nailclip 580 and a rambler to do the same but then I saw people commenting about changing the blade instead of snapping, like you did. Shortly after Victorinox announced they will be releasing bladeless SAKs so I postponed all blade snapping and I’m waiting to see what they bring.
ahaha... Anne and I are gonna go to Frankentool Jail for our barbarism. 😝 I'm so excited to see what Victorinox comes out with by way of blade free multitools!... I hope they don't diddle about too long before some releases.
Daphne!!! Great video & very nice bike. Many years ago, I did some biking up & down the east coast. I had a 1973 Ekectra Glide. Big Bike LoL I could kick myself for selling it !!!
Last Fall when I rode my xt250 on the ferry to Newfoundland all the other bikes were big Harleys… they looked at mine like I was nuts. 😆 Yet somehow I’ve become enamored of smaller displacement bikes. This most recent addition to the stable should be a great balance between off pavement fun but enough guts to get me to the outback stuff. I bought it from a guy in NYC and had it shipped over. Can’t find them anywhere West of the Mississippi. It’s the most I’ve ever spent on a bike, even though it’s 1/2 the size. 🙈 If you could have any bike now, what would it be?
Daphne, good question. I like the Yamaha Tenere 700. My friend has one & really likes it. With that being said, I rode dirt bikes, Ninjas etc through the years. But, there's nothing like that Electra Glide on the open road for me anyway. LoL !!!
@@joecat339 Tenere, solid choice if limited to one. I’ve never ridden a Harley, but I bet one of those boats would be mighty luxurious anywhere between Mississippi and the Rockies, or maybe some wide open desert. On this trip one friend rode a Gold Wing while I was on a piddly 300… we make him ride in the back, but he is definitely not bothered and I presume about 100X more comfortable. 😄
What is the point in removing the blades ?
To have other tools while in places where knives are prohibited… planes, hospitals, certain tourist attractions, to name a few. Although the risk may remain that a security checkpoint personnel decides they don’t want to allow the other tools (TSA a prime example… none of the other tools in this set are prohibited by policy, except that the policy stipulates that an agent can just decide whatever they want when characterizing certain things… like the bottle cap lifter, for example… one agent doesn’t even think about it and another decides it’s dangerous.)
www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/swiss-army-knife-without-blade-victorinox/
Nice. But why knobbys on a street bike?
For well maintained forest roads / farm roads (the suspension won’t tolerate more bumpy than that)… Road tires in these conditions are adequate, but knobbies look swell. 😄 These knobbies though… I don’t think I love them too much.
I found this video right after modding my first Victorinox. The degree of pain and fiddliness rings true. Thanks for leaving in that footage.
Aaaaah, solidarity. 🍻
Hi Daphne !!! Happy Easter !!!
Joe!… I hope you had a lovely Easter. 💜
It's crazy you made this video. I have been thinking about this quite a bit. I don't know what some right answers might be. Is it bad to be too confident? Should we train to fight? When is a firearm not a good answer? These are complicated questions.
@thevineclimber I do, I know the right answers!... ha... maybe... 1) I think it's important to project confidence, but also be very aware of our limitations. I also think hyper vigilance often projects insecurity... there's a balance there. 2) Definitely we should learn and practice self defense fighting tactics; though I have not. 3) About carrying a lethal weapon... After talking to some law enforcement friends I landed on... A firearm is a tremendous risk unless one trains consistently and frequently with high pressure drills. In other words, for most civilians guns are a potential legal cluster fudge and significant risk to self (such as if overcome) and/or to over penetration harming victims (especially in a city). (I've seen an experiment where "good guys with a gun" were put in a mock scenario with an active shooter and they were all confident in their ability to perform well prior to entering the experiment. Yet none were successful in hitting the assailant, and all were shot in the scenario. On the other hand, maybe 6 years ago a female motorcyclist was assaulted here in Seattle. In a traffic jam road rage scenario a guy blocked her, took her to the ground, and started pounding on her. She was carrying, shot him once in the stomach, and he died. She was justified, and she may have saved her life, or certainly reduced her level of injury. But her legal bills were still huge, and now she has the PTSD of killing someone even if he had it coming. So, on this gun question... I guess it is complicated.)
Now I feel silly, just re-watched the video and got to the part that shows the tire size! Ride On!!
🤪 After riding them a while, I am not in love with these tires. I haven’t yet taken them on any dirt/gravel trails where they may be fine. I just don’t love them on pavement, and I’ve ridden something like a dozen different dual sport tires on various bikes without prior complaint re road manners. I really hate them on grooved pavement or grated bridges… again, no other dual sport tire bugged me in these areas. Although, in some cases I think my impression of poor grip in hard riding in the twisties may actually be more related to the antiquated suspension. ☹️
I just picked up my 2nd TU yesterday, 2013! I want to put the same tires on that you put on yours. What size are they? Did you have to adjust the fenders at all to accommodate for the size? Thanks!
I think larger than I went would require a front fender adjustment due to knobs. (As you noted, sizes in video. 😄)
Nice looking watch. Though I'm disappointed that it doesn't have a built in fire starter or something to make it a multi-tool. LOL If I got a Victorinox T-shirt I would expect it to also turn into a pair of shorts, or a hat, a cup, or something. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣… I want that t-shirt!

Hi Daphne, The music is fantastic. This video brings me back to years ago when I did a considerable amount of 4 wheeling in an old Jeep I set up for that purpose. Fantastic memories I haven't thought about in a while. Thank You -- Joe --
This 4 wheeled monkey business is no joke... do any your fond memories include running off the road? I about ended up in a ditch while getting a hang of the handling differences compared to a motorcycle... I knew they wouldn't be the same, but now I know KNOW. 😂
I had a few scarry moments. I slid sideways down off a rock about 15 feet & luckily there was a tree or I would have flipped the jeep over. LoL
@@joecat339 😮🫣😬 I’ve only gone off the road once… at the 6:00 mark. Didn’t even lose an eyelash. Phewf. In my case thank goodness no trees. th-cam.com/video/e-K1LyTGcrY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vGMUab8qPGwNRWDk
Fantastic drone shots! Were those wild horses at around 2:20?
Thanks! I was so glad to get my drone out of purgatory... when I arrived I couldn't get it to sync with my account thus allowing me to fly more than something like 50' in any direction. I about cried. So, I was thrilled when I finally got it working and could go high and far! I'm not sure about those horses. I was wondering myself. Although, through the engine noise I may have heard a bell on one of them.
Love it! Nice work!! I really like the tires & exhaust! Ride On!!
Wow! That looks amazing! Did you take your bike all the way down to Mexico? If so, and you are driving back through SoCal, if you need anything while there, feel free to get in touch. I can tell you about some amazing places that most people that live here don't even know about, and would be worth you driving through or stopping to take a look at. Also, I've been designing and 3D printing some SAK accessories, custom scales, etc, and would be happy to gift some to you if you are passing through. Either way, have a great rest of your trip!
I did not… I hopped a plane and joined old friends for their bucket list wish to see blue whales. I did however rent an teeny motorcycle down here for a ride into the hills. I’ll probably make a little video of that too. I rode in your area a couple years ago… some hills east of the observatory, Kern River Valley, southern Sierras (scared myself nearly to death getting stuck in some snow up there), Death Valley, Titus Canyon, Joshua Tree, and much of Malibu Hills. Did I miss anything important? Your offer is so sweet, thank you. If I’m that way I’ll holler, and likewise if you are in Seattle, gimme a shout out.
Glad you are getting to do some riding on the trip, and that you get to hang out with friends! I don't live near the Kern River, but not too far from there is a place I have visited a few times. "Cat House on the Kings". It's on the Kings river, and is a cat rescue ranch. They have a few small dogs too, but usually around 700-1000 cats all wandering the property. I was followed by over 20 cats constantly while there, and every time I sat down, as many as possible would try to sit on me. LOL. It was great! Thanks for the offer if I'm in Seattle. I have only been there once, way back in the 90's for a few days. If it weren't for the rain, I'd have probably moved there. My Mom and I have talked about meeting up in Seattle since she lives in the middle of nowhere in OR. If it happens, I'll let you know. @@daphnedevi

I was so disappointed that the blue whales (and humpbacks) had departed the area, as it was why we planned the trip in the first place… at least until this delightful dolphin pod encounter… such a joy. 😊
Hi Daphne !!! The whales would have been the icing on the cake. You must had a great time, it looks beautiful there. Thank You for sharing !!! -- Joe --

They sure did… on several trips now, domestic and international. I hand them the tool as I’m shoving my bag through xray and say “here, there’s no blade”… easier than getting pulled aside with suspicion. Of course with my drone, electronics, and moto tools I still almost always get pulled aside. 😜
Other options… the GeeKey paired with a Screwpop utility blade holder… but then ya gotta pick up a blade at your destination, which isn’t always easy.

That would be a very nice little set up. Sadly, not possible in a one layer knife. It should likely be possible to do a two layer knife with one being the blade and cap lifter, and the other the phillips and magnifying glass… it’s amazing how often a combination seems like it should work, but it will not. Realizing this is what derailed me from fussing about with more modification experiments of just trying to redo SAKs with oem parts. These experiments are expensive and require pulling apart well made tools. 😬
Hello, maybe you can help. What diameter are the steel pipes at the handlebars? Thank's a lot.

What a fantastic video! thanks for sharing ;-)
Thank you so much... I wish my Momster was around more often to wrangle into some EDC and/or travel videos... aspirations! :)
Great and helpful video! I think I will stick to the finished products. Good work!
Exactly what I determined the best course of action for myself as well. 😁 The experience of fiddling with this made me all the more appreciate folks making custom SAKs, like custom_sak or fit2survive_ on IG to name a couple. Just bonkers the skill and creativity they've dialed in.
This Video was 10/10 helpful! Thank you for show all of it ( including part when it got difficult ) ! Most people edit that stuff out. I glad you kept it in to make me feel better about my own struggle! Thanks again!
You’ve spoken exactly to why I wanted to make the video… thank you for your kind comment. May my struggle serve to minimize yours just a bit... and if not, at least we have Solidarity! 😄😉
Does it fit a 16oz water bottle?
Definitely not. It is quite small. Best for cell, wallet, keys, multitool, pen, notepad, and the like… little odds and ends.
