hi there! I'm writing you from an italian Hospital where I am currently hospitalized. Just wanted to give you a massive thank you for giving me several carefree minutes with this video. Loved the editing style, your music choices and the voiceovers, can't wait to get out of here so that I can ride my HIMA, that is very lonely, waiting for me in my garage. TH-cam should be filled with more content like yours, where both the creator and the viewer get together into the same experience. Thank you for the effort that you put into this 2 and a half hours calm and peaceful entertaining video. Please keep posting once in a while when you've got the right vibe. Bye from Ancona (Italy)
Hello there, Let me first say that I hope you’re doing better and your hospital stay is short. With that said, I am truly humbled in the fact that my video gave you some comfort during a time when you’re stuck in one place and can’t get out. trust me I’ve been there. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel and thank you SO MUCH for the kind words. Ride safe and I hope you’re out of the hospital soon! 😎🍻 Forrest
I love your videos! I lived most of my life in the Lake and Mendocino Counties of Northern California. I have been on a bike for 40 years and love the beauty of the area!
Thanks for the comments! I completely agree with you, the beauty of Northern California is stunning! I will be filming down in Mendo in a few months and can’t wait! Thanks again for watching 🍻😎
Hey Forrest, your videos are so chilled and easy to watch. Thank you for sharing the beautiful views of Canada and everywhere else...its greatly appreciated here in NSW Australia. Stay upright 😊
Thanks so much for the comment! I really enjoy sharing my adventures with everyone,….(I’m still blown away that people like them 👀😁) Thanks very much for watching and riding along 🍻😎
Wow, Forrest; the whole enchilada! this is going to be a fun "watch", and the timing is especially good: it's supposed to start snowing any time now! Thanks for sharing your trip in this format!
Happy New Year! 😎 I was thinking it might be a good watch for those of you that are “snowed in” 😁 I have never put up a video in this format before,…. Thanks for the comment 🍻 Big announcement coming soon…😎
Outstanding! 👏👏👏 Congratulations on your Himalayan (best color out there…) That sounds like a fantastic trip! Thanks for watching and again congrats! 🍻😎 (Thanks for the comment)
Hey there my friend, really enjoyed this video like I have enjoyed the past ones you’ve done, how ironic that particular brand of dehydrated meal is my favorite one of all, chicken teriyaki is the best, as far as your tent, for the longest I’ve used the kilty two man, two years ago I bought the north face three man tent, game changer, I like room and the three man fit the bill. It was a pleasure meeting your sister, seems very sweet, liked to have met her when I came through in 2016 coming back from Hyder Alaska, my battery was playing out up in Hyder and closest Harley/ motorcycle shop was there in Smithers, we got in late the day before and they were closed, one of the nastiest campground host was there in Smithers, my years of traveling west I’ve never met anyone like him, he appeared to be really plastered with a serious attitude, he didn’t like my Harley, after a few choice words and letting him know what a Harley truly sounds like we left, we found a real nice one where it was part golf course and part campground, couldn’t ask for anyone nicer, anyway my two cents, will be loading up bikes and traveling all across Canada this summer, April heading down to the border to big Bend, awesome National park, been there three times, a place I’d recommend to you, take care buddy, look forward to what you post next. Rob Ala.
Hi Rob, always good to hear from you! I know the campground at the golf course that you’re talking about, I didn’t stay there, but it looks pretty nice and it’s not far from my sister’s house. Smithers is an amazing place and I can’t wait to go back! Maybe next year….this year it’s all about Northern California 😎 Safe rides and thanks again for watching and your continued support! 🍻😎
Love your videos! I ride a 2022 Himalayan and despite its shortcomings I am very comfortable and enjoy it very much! You’re a true inspiration to adventure riding and Moto camping!
Hey thanks for the kind words.. The Himalayan just becomes such a comfortable companion and is really great for camping. I love this bike and all I want to do is ride and camp since I bought it 3 years ago. Thanks again for watching! 🍻😎
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I should be out camping and filming as soon as the weather permits. Thanks again for subscribing.🍻😎
I am VERY excited for its release! That is one of the routes that is on my short list for “2024 big trip” multi day camping 😎 Thanks again for watching and great question!🍻
Beautiful Ride forest. You nailed it. Great camera work and music. I rode to AK in 2022 and Canada is stunning. Cant wait to go back and hit al the back roads i missed. Ride safe Ride free.
Thank you so much for the comment, and I completely understand what you mean by Can’t wait to get back and hit the roads that you missed. That’s all I’ve been thinking about since I got back. Lol thanks again for watching and safe rides! 🍻😎
Happy New Year! Hey Forrest! What a treat you saved a ton of footage. It seems like you're on your second journey. Appreciate meeting Ashley who reminds me of Janet. Beautiful Japanese garden's. I was watching that gas gauge also. When the Himalayan hits reserve, there is roughly 70 miles left in tank I have found. This video is like a Nat-Geo film so I am viewing in parts. If I calculated correctly day 2 was 400 miles or over 7 hours in the saddle.
Happy New Year my friend! I wasn’t sure how a full length version of the trip would be received, but to be honest I think it works…(think of it as the “Director’s Cut “ 😎) Thanks again for watching! Ohh, and I will be announcing this year’s “big trip” soon….. 🍻
I only got to 15 seconds viewing. What a shame. I would have really enjoyed this film but yet again, it's another example of poor volume editing. The music once again drowns out the creators voice. I wish you guys would decide wether you're making a travel OR music video!
Are you sure @Angelhost it was only 15 seconds? 😆 At the 15 second mark I’m still doing a voiceover and it’s pretty clear. Things to remember please, this is a hobby,… I’m not a pro,… if you can overlook some of the imperfections, you might actually enjoy it like you said. Thanks for the feedback! I’m always looking to improve the quality of the videos I put up. Safe rides 😎🍻
@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV Sorry if I came off a bit too critical and annoying but I come across this all the time and it's quite frustrating. Your intro was hard for me to concentrate on because of the domineering music track. If you'd allow me to make a suggestion I think it would greatly benefit your content. It would be to watch some of Freddie Dobbs motorcycle travel videos. He always has the audio perfectly balanced, and, muted at the right times. I understand that music keeps viewers entertained and your music really is great. Your voice is also nice to listen to with those smooth mid and low tones. Because of that, I truly believe if you dropped the music during narration you'd have some of the best motorcycle touring videos on TH-cam.
@@Angelhost thanks for the feedback,… I will take a closer look at how I’m balancing the volume with music and voice over. 🍻😎 (I’m a big fan of Freddie Dobbs!)

O the music, family ties, big canada, with good editing. I've got so many questions, so I'll shut up, regards from uk.X
Why ? How come ?
Ohhh how I can’t wait to do it again….
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! 😎🍻
Why is not the ?
But WHERE will I go next ??
