I rode this area about five years ago, one of my all time favorite roads. Makes me want to go back, well done! I can't wait to see you scrape the bug juice off the windshield and make a cocktail out of it at the end! lol
The Rockies are exceptionally beautiful, but very frustrating to pass them by, as I love hiking and climbing in the mountains. Great video, but clean the damn windscreen 😂
No way, those mosquitoes are my souvenirs!! Yeah the Canadian Rockies are incredible, really looking forward to going back when I have a bit more time to explore!!
Wow, simply amazing. I just came across your channel, and now I’m on my 3rd cup of coffee watching all the videos/adventures. Super great content. Love the narration. Well done. Got to get back to more videos. Be safe out there Chad, and enjoy life to the fullest. Keep the rubber side up, and we all will be watching.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! We just arrived in Patagonia last week and will be continuing the adventure through South America. Stay tuned!! 🍻
Agree wholeheartedly. I rode the Icefields Parkway in 2017; to this day it is without doubt the most spectacular scenery I’ve experienced. Terrific vlog. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Be sure to allow plenty of time to explore all the nooks and crannies. The Canadian Rockies are incredible!!
I guess the funny thing is, I've always heard that Banff and Jasper were beautiful, but I think that beauty is really under sold. I was not expecting that! And as you know, the videos never do it justice...
Going to the sun road is amazing! Hope you were able to catch a jump in at skydive lost prairie. It's like a skydive and an aerial tour of Glacier NP all in one. Friggin beautiful vids man. Looking forward to the next episode!
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets I really enjoyed Colorado. I wish I had more time there but I was running out of money and time. plus I wanted to visit some family further south before going to LA. The USA is incredible, such diverse landscapes, interesting and enthusiastic people, lots of historic and amazing wildlife.
😁 Yeah, just ribbing all my mates who speak metric. My Africa Twin's meters are all set to metric, bit couldn't figure out how to switch it on the 500x... 🤣
As always, a great video. Makes my North GA fall trip in the Appalachians look bland. An accessories question: I see you (& many other riders) opt for those after market mirror arms. Please explain what makes them better, I’m just curious.
Thank you as always! Stock mirror arms are made of some sort of cast nonsense that tends to snap in a tip over. The Double Take mirrors are not only more resistant to breakage (the glass) but the ball mount and RAM arms have the advantage of giving in a crash and/or allowing you to simply fold the mirrors in once you hit the dirt. The RAM arms can also do double duty as a GoPro mount...
10,000 miles is like a million km. Love it!
The conversion might be a bit rough, but yeah... approximately! 😁
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets great video, by the way.
Thanks!!! 🍻
you deserve the title "bug killer" 🤣🤣
I hardly put a dent in the mosquito population!
Amazing views! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Stunning views from my PC, I'm positive much more beautiful in person. A must adventure. TY for the upload. Cheers.
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah unfortunately videos and photo never do the real thing Justice!!
Glad you had a chance to ride in our backyard. We live in Calgary and ski at Lake Louise each winter. It never gets old!
Very cool! It must look amazing in the winter. What is the terrain at Louise like?
Awesome journey and filming
Thank you!! 🍻
Fabulous - fortunately you have Rose for the commentary. Great voice. 👌
Thank you so much! : )
EPic ride...
It was indeed - thanks for watching!!
Amazing road trip! 🙌
Thank you!!
The production value, music, narration, scenery, and overall vibe are exceptional, what a great channel for any lover of adventure!
Wow- thanks for the kind words!! 💪
That was a great ride 👌.. Outstanding scenery 👍
Yes, an amazing place to be sure! I'm looking forward to going back when it's not quite so crowded!
Beautiful part of the world. I was there in the mid 90's & back again in the winter of 2008 where I proposed to my wife at the lake Louise ski resort.
That's a hell of a spot to do it! Since you said wife I'm assuming she said yes... 😁

I never even thought about the bug juice cocktail, but if I didn't have the stomach to kiss the toe I'm not sure I would have managed that either... 🤣
Big smille defeats all the bugs. What a fantastic ride! Cheers.
And more often than not, will catch you a few between the teeth! Thank you!!

What an great ride. I can’t wait to see all of this with my own eyes next year. Beautiful video editing and lovely voiceover. Well done! 👍

I drove from Vancouver to Jasper and Banff back in 1997. Probably the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Those lakes were amazing.

Thank you! Yes, going to the sun is incredible!! But unfortunately no jumps on this ride. Couldn't fit my rig on the bike!! 🤣
The Icefields parkway is Stunning! I live in Alberta and those views never get old, regardless of how many times you drive it!
Definitely looking forward to going back with a bit more time on my hands to explore!
it is like watching my trip but through someone else's eyes
Ha! That's cool... When were you there??
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets a little bit after you. I swung over to Yellowstone and Colorado after that
Nice! I was considering hitting some of the passes in Colorado, but figured the 500x had had enough... 😁
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets I really enjoyed Colorado. I wish I had more time there but I was running out of money and time. plus I wanted to visit some family further south before going to LA.

And amazing off-road opportunities!!
10,000 miles mulitplied by factor 1,6 gives 16 000 kilometers. Greetings from Germany, Europe.😃
3:05 min

Math checks out
Carry the 8, divide by a fraction of the decimal... Sounds about right! 😁
At what time of the year did you do this trip? August? September? October?
This was early August...
