P4: Royal Enfield Himalayan - Seattle, WA to Alaska ( Best ride of my life! )
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- Part 4 of Royal Enfield Himalayan - Seattle, WA to Alaska has arrived! Follow along as I ride the Himalayan from the interior of Banff National Park, through Jasper National Park, do some roadside camping, and then push on to Fort St. John in British Columbia, Cananda. Please consider liking, sharing or subscribing and all that fun TH-cam stuff.
The highlight of the episode has got to be cruising through Jasper National Park. It was a glorious day and the best ride of my life! Toss in a few nice wildlife sightings, an amazing camp site, and continued performance from the Himalayan and this has got to be the best part of the serious so far!
SERIES OVERVIEW
Follow along as I purchase a Royal Enfield Himalayan in Seattle, Washington and ride it for the first time EVER all the way back to Alaska. I even do some customizing to the bike along the way!
This is the second part of a series of videos covering my purchase of the 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan Himalayan, customizing the bike and exhaust with Cerakote Ceramic after only 300 miles, doing my first service, then continuing on through Banf National Park, Jasper National Park, the Canada Yukon and Alaska where I stopped at a magnificent glacier before arriving home.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a 411cc adventure bike built in Indian and made available in the U.S. for the first time in 2018. Very few motorcyclists in the U.S. have had the experience of riding one let alone taking it for a near 3000-mile ride right from the showroom floor.
IN THIS MOTORCYCLE SERIES
○ At only 411cc's, how does it handle on American highways?
○ What's involved with the first service at 300 miles?
○ Can it hold up on a long-distance adventure?
○ Is it comfortable, capable, and does it handle well?
○ How does the bike look after a ceramic coating of the exhaust, skid plate and levers?
○ And what sort of scenery, wildlife and adventures do I experience on my 2,800-mile ride back to Alaska?
I hope you enjoy this series. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for the following parts and future Himalayan adventures in Alaska.

Robert McDonald One more convert here :)

Awesome, this is the kind of trip people dream about!
Such wonderful thing to say. Yes it true, it is :)
GIVE THIS MAN A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS RIGHT NOW
I bought a Himalayan recently brother.. enjoying the ride.. great machine..Hope uve all recovered from the earthquake
Excellent! I hope you're enjoying yours!
We're basically back to normal after the quake. Just a big mess really. Thanks for mentioning it.
My favourite Himalayan video of all the Himalayan videos and I've been watching a lot while waiting for my Himalayan to be delivered. Love Canada so it's a win win with such amazing scenery 😍.
Wow, that is a really impressive compliment. Thanks so much!
I hope some of my future vidoes are equally as enjoyable.
Cheers form Alaska! 😊
Hi Justin, as a biker with more than a passing interest in the Himalayan (and also a drone flier) I have been devouring your recent videos! Congratulations. Such high production values are rare but highly appreciated! Take care!
This series has to one of the most beautiful and inspiring thing I have ever seen with my eyes.
Love your moto it's cool machine , true value for money 😊will buy one in red some day
You're right, plenty of value... And fun.
Thanks for watching. Cheers from Alaska!
How cool is that !! from one himalayan owner to another, you're truly testing it's capabilities bro. Godspeed.
unforgotable Moments at our vacation when we drive thrue - CANADA is AWESOME (we drive the same roads) - we are from Germany - what a Trip - Cheers
Wow.... just epic. So jealous. I live and ride a lot in Colorado and I don’t think I have seen such beautiful scenery. Nice camera work.
Everthing is beautiful .the ride, the view,countries, perfect drive home.it looks like a comfort drive
Man, what an out of this world scenery.....I love the Canadian Rockys.....😀
Me too!
Abso-freaking-spectacular landscapes, that sheer vertical relief with mountains right next to the road. That highway looks like it passes by the Burgess Shale quarry.
Best video ever. I love the mountains. Thank you for sharing. 😀
I'm addicted to your videos from part 1! Was first looking for real world RE Himalayan reviews, and yours covers everything I need to know! Professional shooting, beautiful landscapes, nice job, two thumbs up!
A huge thank you!!
Keep up the good work Justin, your videos are great to watch 😊.
You live in a beautiful part of the world, Canada 🇨🇦.
I watched all of your travels up through Canada to the Arctic last night 😊. You have shown how good that bike is doing what it was designed for against the cost of other adventure bikes 😊. I want one now lol. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
I like the kid looking at you out of the rear seat of the SUV. He's probably thinking "Man, I wish I could do that". You probably just inspired the next long haul adventure bike rider.
Kids love motorcycles! I honked at him. Hard to tell in the video. He was pretty happy about it. Probably helps to have a helmet that looks like a futuristic astronaut. 🚀
man that is so amazing and fantastic and … no words for this, sorry - big thumps up
I'm completely in love with your channel. Such amazing content. Thank you very much for your effort!
I did that ride up to Jasper last summer. It was amazing. The scenery is breathtaking and the roads up there are so much fun to ride. Definitely one of my favourites as well.
Nice! Were you on the triumph tiger?
I did have the Tiger up there... It was brilliant on those roads!
I bet!
I watched this vlog from India, Calcutta the city of joy, thank you very much . Please be safe drive and save life. The sight is very much beautiful,
Thanks a loy.
The pleasure is all mine Provash. I was happy to share such incredible scenery and fun riding with everyone, including Calcutta viewers. 🙂
11:22 beautiful .....the scenry is so amazing
so good to see Himalayan going distances
Sure looks like an awesome trip.
I loved it. Would do it again, only slower.
Wow! What an adventure rides with your HIMALAYAN ROYAL ENFIELD. You encouraged me to choose the right Dual Sports Motorcyle. Thank you for being courageous and very determined to do this longride travel! AWESOME VLOG!
I use to own royal Enfield Thunderbird in India , Royal Enfield is a great classic look bike built to last long time .
Very cool! I'd like to get my hands on an old, classic model. Just for fun and to tinker with.
@@KARMAkazeMotoyes classic is good , not sure if Thunderbird is available in US market ..
I forgot they have a Classic model. I just meant classic as in old or vintage. 🙂 I'm not sure what exact model I'd prefer.
@@KARMAkazeMoto for US classic 500cc will be better cos most of the highway is above 65mph ... 350cc will start vibrating once u hit 100kmph which is 60mph .
Good thinking!
Thanks Justin. Great job. Enjoyed the ride. God bless. Happy trails.
Another great episode. Nice background score (0:22-0:31, 11:44-12:06). Stunning sceneries, well captured. Cool drone shots. Keep riding Bro!!
That first score you linked is actually called Wheels of Karma. A perfect fit for my channel.
Your Trip and Video is nothing more than amazing. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I think you're going to like the ride to the northern coast of Alaska even more. 😀
Single handed you made the video... I can only imagine the effort gone into this 👏👏👏
Beautiful scenery great road trip , if you never do anything else what memories you can look back on , Brilliant each video you make has a simple story you make interesting. Thanks .
Excellent comments Carl. I'm glad you like my storytelling. Cheers! 👍
The whole thing is completely killer! I'm envious.
The Himalayan is the grand effort by Royal Enfield , glad your making the serious run with . Marry Christmas , Thanks be
10/10 Knowledge. Efforts, Riding Skills, Cinematography, Choice of Locations. Overall Brilliantly executed Moto Log. Honest Review. Enjoyed every bit.Subscribed. Its Not about expensive bikes. Its about the Joy of riding. Himalayan does it all. Cheers mate
So this video is a couple years old now. Are you still in love with your Himalayan??? Because I’m REALLY considering buying one
Still happy with it, especially for the money. 👍
gobsmackingly beautiful nabitat. i thought where i live and ride was beautiful but you win man. love the vids!
That was awesome. I love whenever you see a scenery, you show us that like that sun rise.. looking forward to the next part.
Enjoying your trip, most times the video is like actually being there, thank you.
That was the goal! Thank you. I'm glad you like it. 🙂
Hey friend, another great video and thanks for sharing . What can I say Bears,Buffalo and that staggering scenery I envy you. Stay safe.
Thanks again Bradster!
Fantastic scenery.
Not sure why am I binge watching your Vlog. Amazing from start till the end. Congratulations
Oh my gosh Saffron, thanks so much! Glad you got some enjoyment out of the series. Hopefully some of the sights and sounds from this summer will interest you. Take care and thanks again!
Beautiful roads and great drive. The mountains are awesome. Bit anxious with your camping... Elks can easily tip off the bike on you. Take care. I love everything with the Royal Enfield .... Enjoyed the 350cc standard some years ago. Only yesterday I accidentally found your channel and aam loving it. God bless you.
Thanks for the kind words. Some new material on the way. Take care!
Amazing scenery. Really good photography. Excellent video.
Our parks really are a national treasure. Its good to see they're finally repaving those roads. I've been through there quite a few times over the last few years and some of those roads were in pretty rough shape. Keep it coming!
I was pleasantly surprised. I had been warned about gravel and people driving too fast. Neither was an issue. 🙂
Awesome country, well filmed,my handsom!
dude, i had a crappy/hard work week pulling 14 hour days inside of a burnt house. your video was just what i needed to remember why i work in the first place. this ride is now on the bucket list. Also, i am glad to see you made it through the shakes alright, me and my lady have been sending good vibes that way and had wondered how you fared. keep up the good work!
Super glad you enjoyed it!
And yeah, we did ok. Almost all the mess is cleaned up. The Himalayan has a scratch in a side panel, but hey, it was going to happen sooner or later. Plus, that can be replaced easily.
@@KARMAkazeMoto good to hear. a scratch beats a broken wind screen or bent rim any day. had an oak branch fall through my shed once... kinda ruined spring for me a couple years ago.
Ouch!
Giving me goose bumps and stomach butterflies watching this. My gosh luv A&W but not seen one in years, thought they were all gone.
They don't have hot dog any more! I was looking forward to a chili dog, and I found out they only have burgers now. What's the world coming to! 😀
No chili hot dog, oh tell me it isn't true. Thanks so much for sharing the ride with us.
🙂
What a place! What a road! What a bike! What a vlog! Wow!!!!
Spectacular scenary and awesome background scores. Waiting to see the next part.
Thanks. I'm going to get a head start on the next one. 👍
Thank you for showing what the Canadian Rockies look like, as a prior resident of Calgary I was able to spend a lot of time there, now I'm on the west coast in the Vancouver area...it's all mountains and spectacular scenery from here on east.
Nice!
If it wasn't for getting that ceramic work done in Part 1, I would have ridden up that way.
Thanks for watching!
I had come across your channel just 2 days ago. I subscribed after watching P1 and watched till 3. Was wondering when 4 would be out or whether something was wrong. Delighted when this popped up & glad to read from the comments you are fine. Really made me happy, your such a nice person too. Though I'm not a biker I really have become your fan. Truly believe the subs on this channel will soar up suddenly!
You got so lucky to watch them all within 2 days. Others were waiting 2 weeks for each part. Hopefully I do part 5 quicker.
Thanks Joel!
Great footage you make ! What a beautifull country you live in man. And the bike ... I am seriously considering of buying one ... grts, Frank
Thanks Frank! The Himalayan has treated me well so far. You'll like the next series that I'm just now posting. I take the bike further on from my home to the top of Alaska, on the Arctic Coast. Ran into a bit of snow and ice, but it was all worth it. Thanks again for watching and commenting! 👍🙂
Beautiful travelogue, mate you are talented story teller! Keep traveling keep sharing!
Beautiful vista's, awesome work.
Thanks for sharing
Royal Enfield should seriously sponsor you for this video. You did a great job advertising re bikes.
(My daughters account) Wow ! I have been eyeing the Himalayan for some time. What a ride. Rode the Al-Can in 95 on a CBR in my 20’s. MI to ANC. Your video brought back memories. Hadn’t thought of that roundabout in Grande Prairie in some time. Admire your minimalism in camping gear. Keep the videos coming and stay safe my man ! Thanks for the inspiration...
Where in MI?
I did that too when moving here, MI to AK. Was a great drive. And I believe there's a Royal Enfield dealer just north of Detroit if you're anywhere near there. Go for it! 😀
Beautiful vid which inspired me to buy Hima.
Thanks for this awesome video. This confirms that this bike it's a really good choice!! 😀✌
I think so! 🍻 Cheers!
I enjoyed this video thoroughly. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for your videos.
really beautiful.. beautiful roads.. beautiful sceneries.... beautiful bike.. beautiful editing
Beautiful rider? 😏
Just kidding! Thank you, glad you liked it!
Justin, thank you for an awesome sceneries experience.
I can feel the amount of time you have been putting down for video editing! Great video as always !
Yes. I need some sleep. 😴
😉 Thanks!
Making a vid is a boatload o work and time....... Im sure for us it'll be worth it. thanks for your efforts!
Great series Justin! Waiting for the next one, cheers from another himalayan rider!
Thanks Juan! Where are you located?
@@KARMAkazeMoto I live in Medellín, Colombia! Having a lot of fun going throug backroads and highways, awesome bike, got the Euro4 Version since here in Colombia they also sell the carburated version. :)
@@juanrestrepo5024 very cool! Good to hear from someone in Columbia, especially a fellow Himalayan owner. Is there any website where you've shared photos/video of the places where you ride? I'd be interested at seeing the area.
@@KARMAkazeMoto well, i haven't got around to take many photos as I've been enjoying the experience more than anything, but I'll soon get to it hehe, I post stuff on instagram instagram.com/esjuanres/, but if you want to check some Colombian trails, you can check this girl (also a Himalayan rider) instagram.com/catasierra83/ or this guy I know instagram.com/alejo.wilches/
Cheers!
Was eagerly waiting for this and it was as usual awesome . scenic ride and beautiful wildlife. The bear 🐻 cub ,bisons and elks near to the road are amazing to watch. Waiting for the P5. Thanks and Cheers 👍😊
Thanks again RoyalBob!
The next video will have some grizzlies. 🙂
KARMAkaze Moto looking forward. We have various bears in India but not those big grizzly bears. Our Himalayan Brown Bear 🐻 comes some what close I think.
@@Royalbob123 I did some quick research. Your Hima Brown is a little smaller than our Grizzly Bears, but not by a lot. They are VERY similar. Our Grizzlies are smaller than our Coastal Brown Bear and Kodiak Bear. Those are the big ones! They eat a lot of salmon and grow huge.
KARMAkaze Moto KARMAkaze Moto Interesting to know there are bigger bear species. Shall google/youtube coastal and Kodaik bears. Thanks 👍😊
@@Royalbob123 Fun fact, the interior Grizzly is genetically the same as the Coastal Brown. The difference is their diet. Sort of like how body builders eat lots of protein. Coastal bears bulk up on fish.
Magnificent views ...brings back great memories. I made the drive (by car) from Calvary, through Banff to Jasper and Hinton several times about 35 years ago. I've always thought it has to be one of the most breathtaking drives in the world! Thank you for sharing.
It is world-class for sure!
Awesome, loved seeing that bear
Spectacular scenery. Well done on the cameras.
Thanks Kirky007!
I see you're subscribed to Acorn to Arabella. If you're not already watching the Tally Ho project or subscribed to Leo's channel, you might want to check it out. I need to get caught up on it. I guess he just took off the end of his finger 😲, but otherwise has been really professional in his restoration process. He does a lot of teaching and explaining. It's fascinating.
th-cam.com/channels/g-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA.html
I have had a look at his stuff, fascinating. Tomorrow I pick up my new Himalayan, (hopefully). Looking forward to that and the new year to start planning a few trips around bonnie Scotland to begin with.
@@kirky0073 Fantastic! If you end up shooting any video or doing a slideshow of photos with the Himalayan, feel free to share a link in my video comments. I don't mind. Merry Christmas!
I Just watched all 4 parts and love every moment, can't wait for the next one.
Awesome!
I'm on my way out to the cabin. I'll be watching some of your stuff as well from there. 👍
Awesome vid. As I was expecting. The place looks gorgeous.
This is an enjoyable series. One old biker tip though... when sleeping next to your bike do it on the opposite side of the kickstand. Sure chances are slim that the ground may give enough for the bike to tip over but why risk it falling on top of you during the night?
Good to see you again
Very Nice video. As usual waiting for next part...(Part-5).
you cannot imagine what I'm feeling while watching this video......I just wanna get on my bike and ride away now!
Do it! 😀🏍
Based on other's responses, you might like Part 5 even better.
Justin. Today with you're amazing video made me dream. Thank you... i may consider visiting.
Check in if you do!
Sweet views and wild life , does it get any better ! Thanx for bringing us along , lookin forward to next vid safe ride . Hope life is getting back to normal after that quake .
Oh yes, just your average winter for the most part. STILL getting aftershock multiple times per day though. Nothing past 5.0.
Much more wildlife coming up in Part 5!
Loving your film of the Himalayan.... Stunning scenery, I'm from the UK and looking to buy Himalayan in next month.... Cant wait to have some adventures on it, …. Ride safe, Cheers!
Fantastic!
If you end up making your own video on your new Himalayan, and want to come back here to share a link on one of my videos, that is totally fine by me. All in good fun!
The best youtube motorcycle video I've seen! Very well done, including the music. The drone footage was valuable and awesome. I did have to look up what a 'monte cristo' was...lol.
Spectacular scenery! The Himalaya may not be for everyone but it shows that India Enfield has come a long way. I was very impressed, also, with the ceramic re-coating of the exhaust system....what an improvement it made. Well, makes me want to head West and see it all. I wonder if my everyday rider, a 1972 Triumph TR6, would be up to it...it'd be fun to find out!
Chico, so sorry I missed your comment earlier. You could do a whole video series on that Triumph touring west! I'd watch it. 🙂
Thanks, man....it would be a 'trip' if you know what I mean. I'm a low tech older guy so I might get the drone caught in the rear wheel or something. lol Again, wonderful video...I really enjoyed it. Keep at it!@@KARMAkazeMoto
🙂 Will do! Take care.
Awesome video, waiting for the next part
Thanks, man!
What an awesome series. Can't wait for part 5!!!. Hopefully once you're done you will do a review of the bike...the good...the bad....
Thanks Steve! Part 5 is very close to complete. Part 6 will be the conclusion of the trip. And yes, directly after that I'll post a review and discuss the trip and what I experienced on the bike.
@@KARMAkazeMoto I'm a Canuck and live in BC (on Vancouver Island). Have been on most of those roads but always great to see them again. I agree with you on them being just fantastic roads for scenery and wildlife.
I'd go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Lots and lots of love from India.. I'm in love with your videos.. Awaiting Next one !!
Was waiting for P4. What a great video. Keep Going Strong Sir
So good to hear. I'm my own worst critic, so it's good to get positive feedback, especially after pulling an all-nighter to wrap this up and publish. 🙂
Nice series ! Merry Christmas ! Patiently waiting on Pt 5 and maybe more on DIY preventative maintenance etc.
Picking mine up Friday ! All the best !
Part 5 is on the way! I'll admit, work and holidays have been taking their toll. I really can't stand to sit at the computer so much. That said, I'm back at it and you won't have to wait much longer.
More importantly, how do you like your Himalayan and where are located with it?
If you ever do your own videos with it, feel free to post links in my video comments. I don't mind.
@@KARMAkazeMoto That's great news! Looking forward to more content! I TOTALLY understand. Q4 @ MY work is the busiest time of the year, PLUS add holiday family gatherings and personal travel ... I haven't posted anything on IG since very early Dec. It's quiet time for me right now AND loving it! I'm an absolute NOOB when it comes to motorcycles. This is my first bike and I'm learning quickly. I'm very fortunate to live in an area that includes different types of terrain, back country dirt roads, paved and some secoundary highways, hills and twisties too. They are all great places to practice. I even ventured out in the rain today. I live in southern Virginia, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I'm loving the Himalayan, it's the perfect bike for me. Have a great New Year and once again ... looking forward to your videos!
@@ElwoodPDowd-ed7pc Oh, I like your area! My Grandmother came from Virginia. Such a nice state. I really like the mix of mountains, rolling farm land and deciduous forest. I've driven some of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and even spent time in Roanoke. Camped all through the region back in 2001 during a thru-hike of the AT. Best experience ever! Loved Grayson Highlands State Park with the wild ponies and some open country to hike through.
I'm excited for you with this first bike! Great location for it. Ocean in one direction, Appalachians in the other direction with Shenandoah Natl Park and Smokey Mountains! Plus Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other historical sites.... Beautiful!
You have a great New Year as well!
Their slogan should be Royal Enfield, Faster than a camper! lol actually looks like a great bike. Love the footage, looks incredible.
The coating on the exhaust ties in better with the overall color scheme, looks good.
Agreed. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
Beauty all around makes your videos more mesmerizing
FYI drones are illegal in all Canadian National Parks. I’m glad you didn’t get caught. I love the drone footage.
Good point, and I have to admit, I wasn't thinking about it at the time. I may go back and look at a map to see if I was technically in the park boundaries when flying. Very possible.
KARMAkaze Moto I wouldn’t worry about it. Even if some jealous drone pilot reported you, because of your nationality and location, I doubt there would be a problem. I wouldn’t camp in unauthorized areas in the Parks either. There are some petty civil servants who would get a kick out of making your life miserable.
You're right Gerald. I'm a drone pilot as well and I'm kinda ripped off about not being able to fly in national parks. I don't need some civil servant thinking he's saving the world by making my life miserable giving me flack about my drone.
@@gcprost I had at least one person get on my case a little bit for the drone and free camping. It was interesting how he jumped to some huge assumption about my character. Thought I was lying about my knowledge of the camp rules. Everything's a big conspiracy I guess. Way off base! Even the park gate attendant who told me everything was booked had no problem giving me a two day pass... and no warning! As an out-of-towner, when the parks are on your route, and not your destination, it is very easy to just breeze through unaware of some regulations. And coming from a place where parks never have highways, rules against roadside camping and drones never once crossed my mind. Those were just stop and go activites on my way to Alaska. But now I know! I'll play it a little more safe next time. I certainly don't want to help anyone get their kicks by tattling on me.👍
For the record, no one has had any issue with me speeding. 😁
Came across your youtube channel while searching for a review of any Royal Enfield. I grew up watching people ride Royal Enfield (Bullet) back in India. Awesome videos of your edventure ride on Himalayan. I am impressed with bike's performance being a hybrid bike for street and offroad. Thank you for sharing your experience, already subscribed to your channel. I am loving and enjoying the beauty of western Canada (BK).
Thanks Rajen! Hopefully my upcoming review will help you decide on things. So if you were back in India, where are you now?
Great vid again Justin fantastic scenery
Not to drive you toward watching all the series, but you're probably going to like the next parts best. Wildlife, glaciers, arriving home, etc. They, especially Part 6, have been the most popular of the series. Enjoy! And thanks again!
KARMAkaze Moto definitely be watching the whole series you’re living my dream
😊👍
Fantastic scenery, fantastic riding. Hope I make a trip very soon.
wow wow wow! What an amazing series Justin. Thanks so much for sharing. Brave trip on a new bike, but love the detailed trip logging. Feels like we're there along the ride. Can't wait for the next one!
Ride safe and enjoy the amazing scenery! Greetings from a (really flat and boring) Holland...
Part 5 is a bit late with work and holidays taking priority, but it's on the way!
Thanks for watching, commenting and complimenting!
Hi there, i own an Himalayan and make regular tours on it. But i have become a fan of ur vlogs offlate. Keep up the good work.
Great Kuldeep! I hope you're enjoying your Himalayan as much as I am mine. 🙂
I can't wait to see more of this! These are some amazing views and that bike is beautiful! Your videos are really selling this bike and the production is just awesome. Thank you!
Hi Amy! Thanks!
I'm not a pro at this video stuff, so it's really nice to hear such positive feedback.
Part 5 is on the way very soon.
Are you interested in the Himalayan, or did you just happen across this series by accident?
Nice ride, great wildlife bites, and wonderful landscapes all in one video while on Himalayan from India, loved the end. Safe ride one lucky soul Karmakaze Moto. waiting for Parte-5
Thanks Harshavardam MP!
Great memories revived as I did that trip in 2011, just when you think it can't get any more spectacular you turn the next corner and it is!
Good to see the bike is going great and also to hear you got through the shake up fine.
Did you also ride to Alaska or just the Banff/Jasper area?
KARMAkaze Moto, no, just toured around the Banff and Jasper areas, lake Louise etc.
Roger. Well could spend an entire month in that area and easily keep yourself occupied. 🙂
Thank you , the videos are only getting better! I live in Manitoba and have done the drive in that area of B.C. and Alberta and is beauty at its best. Looking forward to your next video and hope all is well at home after the earthquake. CHEERS
Yes, we picked up the pieces... literally. Fitbit said I got my heart rate up to a record high that day, so that's good. 😀
When I was stationed at Ft. Richardson I rode my DRZ400 over to Dawson City NWT, then rode up to Inuvik on the Demptster Highway. It was an amazing ride, and the bike handled it easy as pie, though it did totally eat my rear tire (or tyre of you're on an Enfield). I would recommend that you consider making that trip. At the time Inuvik was as far as you could go northward via road, but now they've extended to road up to Tuktoyuktuk. Damn, now I have to go again! Thanks for sharing the ride. Cheers - Jimbo
Sounds like I need to plan another trip. I'll head up to Deadhorse first, but after that, a trip through Dawson would be good. I've taken a snowmobile there in winter (Top of the World Hwy), but never driven it via car or motorcycle. And certainly any of the far north frontier destinations need to be on my bucket list with this bike. Sounds like you made good use of your time while stationed here!
Amazing ride! what a journey you had man!!
I wish i'd live it..
