"I try not to pass gas on a trip like this, but sometimes it happens." Delivered with straight face. Perfect! Seriously, I like that you are not continually trying to get in trouble to raise the drama, as so many vloggers do. Your experiences are relatable and your attitude is just right for me. Keep up the good work and don't worry about passing gas.
I lived in Nimpo from the year I was born, 1996 until 2010. Which store if you don't mind me asking? The one right off of highway 20 on that short straight stretch overlooking Nimpo Lake? We had a Nimpo general store/gas station with a small hotel attached. I'm hoping that's the one you are talking about, since your parents would have been my next door neighbours as a child!
Canada has such beautiful and stunning scenery and the people you meet seem so friendly and helpful. An awesome trip, so well documented. In my 70’s, my riding has been severely affected by Cancer, meaning an hour “in the saddle” is about as much as ai can mange due to pain and fatigue, so trips like yours are just a dream for me at the moment. So following you on your adventures is greatly appreciated and gives me incentive to try to ride a little longer each time I’m well enough to fire my Himalayan up - and my panniers are already packed with essential camping gear for the time I eventually beat this “thing” and can really hit the road again. Great videos, I look forward to checking my “feed” every morning when I wake up, for your next Vlog 😃👍. Safe travels and a safe return home. Cheers from OZ 😀🇦🇺👍
Sterling, your videos are inspirational and entertaining. My Father and I enjoy your content so much. We appreciate the time, effort and love that you put into your videos. Thank you. And keep up the awesome work.
I was surprised finding that you already a Canadian 😂 .. and I checked your Channel there is an Episode in BC Canada 🇨🇦.. Seems to be interesting Channel that you have..I'm in a new subscriber 👍🏻 Good luck be Safe💐😊🇸🇦🌴
17:00 in you said the funniest thing!! It's normal, let 'er rip! I find if I need to do that, it helps to lift yourself off the seat a little. I wonder if people behind me know what's happening. 😅💨
Thanks for a great trip video. Had to laugh at your confusion about “The Hill”!! We road through there last August and stayed in Anahim for a week. Some great riding off hwy 20
Great review of Bella Coola. I try to go there once a year. Also, i agree with your assessment of the campground you stayed in. It's definitely one of, or no the best campground i ever stayed in. Thanks for the great episode. Keep on wheelin.
Glad you got some great weather on the trip! Did a road trip there/back 4 years ago on my FJR. For those considering doing the same, be wary of the 40km from Anahim to the top of the hill when raining on street tires. Thankfully, the hill itself is so well maintained that it's almost trivial. If you have a fear of heights, you'll be reminded of it again but it's doable. 10/10, would do again. Sterling, I've been watching this trip in anticipation of both the ferry and this section and love it! Thanks for sharing, as always!
Was thinking earlier that this episode was probably more like the ideal you were aiming for & then you shared that exact sentiment at the end. Well done sir, well done.
Really enjoying the series, and had a good laugh at the 'german beer' reference. As a born and raised western Canadian resident, there is likely no more Canadian beer than Old Style Pilsner beer!! Cheers!
Wow. What a gift to the Internet and the motorcycling community in particular. Hard to add to the comments below, other than to add my affirmation of your wonderful videography , appreciation of nature, and the human experience .... Bravo !
You did well on the vid. It is a beautiful place. So glad you made it up the hill. I wonder where it was. Lot of fairly high altitude farming. Different kind of place. Fun ride. I have a couple friends who have a professional guide service in that area. Lot of giant bears along the logging roads in the high country and all over depending on the time of year. Just maintain safety and a presence of mind that they are always nearby. Be ready.
Thank you for another great video. I really enjoy the style of your videos which seem to share just the right amount of details on the points of interest you encounter as well as the exceptional footage that you manage to capture so well.
It's great to see the beautiful province of BC, in which I'm privileged to live, showcased so beautifully. I'm enjoying this series very much and I can't wait to watch the rest. Thank you!
I'll give it that, Long and Winding. Steep? Kinda. Definitely LONG. It's also Quite HIGH. The STEEPEST road I have seen and I am no expert, is Oxford Hill in White Rock BC. None the Less, the Road Trip you have uploaded looks like it would be a Heck A Va Adventure. Thank you for the ride.
A lot of those small places along the Bella Coola Highway were hit hard by the lack of tourism during covid. Others , like Lee's Corner, were wiped out by recent forest fires. Brent
Thank you for another gorgeous episode from your adventure. I appreciate that ten months later, you're reliving your adventure while editing the videos to share with us. Thank you for the adventure inspiration.
Hay...Yes, we all enjoyed this episode! Great work and thank you! I'm now making travel plans in my head, nothing definite but moved off 'dreaming' onto the 'how many days and about how much $$$ it would cost' stage of planning. All the best, looking forward to your remaining episodes...Our best from Canada!
I think buddy you met on the hill was a little drunk. Not sure if he knew if he was coming or going.....once you get past the switchbacks on the hill....you're pretty well done.....
Sterling absolutely a fantastic job in documenting this project. Bella Coola is on the very top of my bucket list of places to go riding. Ever since seeing Grizzlee riding to this absolutely beautiful place my soul has been yearning to go. Having seen you do it as well just reaffirms my commitment and ambitions to one day make this trip. Looking forward to meeting you and Eva one day at the Jonquil. Much thanks for all you do to inspire us to just get out and do it. Ride on my friend. 🏍️
Just go, there is a road outside bella where you can ride up to the glaciers, there are grizzlies down in the valleys alongside, amazing place. Just go.
That is certainly a bucket list ride! Thanks Sterling, watching this from Sydney Australia in my lunch break and feel like I have actually done this journey - job well done.
Beautiful place, worked there in 2015 and really enjoyed the local fare and hospitality. The pass road in and out isn’t for the faint of heart as you mentioned but that’s their little secret to keep out the riff raff ☺️ Great video
Great videos! You have been very fortunate with the weather on your bike trip. I grew up in Southeast Alaska and spent a lot of time motorcycle riding in British Columbia during my late teenage years. When I was 20, in 1993, I embarked on a solo 20,000+ mile motorcycle trip from Alaska, around the United States, and it was a summer I will never forget. I then spent 10 years in Arizona where I traveled on almost every highway in the state and also did a lot of dirt biking. I finally settled down in a ski town in the Colorado Rockies. Due to family life, I have been out of the motorcycle scene for a few years, except for occasional rides on a friend's bike. Your videos have inspired me to get back into adventure riding and I am looking forward to picking up a new BMW next week. I also produce videos and am excited to take them to the next level on my TH-cam channel. Have a great day and keep up the good work!
You do a great job of filming the b-roll in these videos. Bella Coola has been on my bucket list for a long time. By the way, that beer is not German. Not even close.
Haha, He was coming from the other direction right? Your going down the hill? That random phone booth is funny. It was in good shape. What a cute little inn. The drone work was beautiful.
Sterling, good call to have stopped at the Inn in Tatla Lake. Good food is few and far between on the road between Bella Coola and Williams Lake. “The Hill” is no big deal in dry weather. A bit anti-climatic… However, you missed some fabulous camping just south of Tatla Lake at a couple of lakes called Chilko and Tatlayoko. Spectacular scenery! Highly recommended for ADV bikes.
Sterling, you make me chuckle, you make me wonder at the beauty out there, you make me wish, and you make me feel inspired to up my game from my photo blog to a video blog. I’m really enjoying your channel.
Fantastic video Sterling. Nice work I do appreciate it very much. Definitely going to add Bella Coola to my bucket list for a ride! Thanks again, safe travels.
I am loving this trip vlog. The ups and downs are setting me up for reality. I have the bike, the camp gear, and the riding gear. I just need tires and a plan.
Fun episode. I like it that you reference specific locations since I usually open google Earth and try to follow along on that app while watching. Fun to zoom right in on the Graham Inn rooftop and see the "lay of the land" there. Thanks again for wonderful videos!
Wow, great drone shots of you riding "the hill". I know while riding it is fun to stop and look at the views. But for you to take pictures and videos for us to enjoy makes for a busy day for you and is much appreciated.
Amazing shots Sterling! Dang, you can see textures off those pine cones and trees.. is that the Fuji camera? The paw prints are pretty big, got to be very cognizant of food bits on the ground in your campsite you stay at.. Bears always come back when they know foods around, hope their are bear boxes or bags to hang off trees away from your tent.. cheers!
16:42 now you know why 3 of my 5 GSes are Adventure models. One less thing to worry about, plus I hate stopping for gas even in built-up areas.You are good for 500 kms easy.
Terrific journey! I think you weren’t fazed by the climb due to that extremely steep logging road a video or two back. Getting fantastic ideas on how to film my own, albeit minor, journeys.
Enjoyed this episode very much! We just came back from the Jonquil for the second week in a row. Love your little place and Bisbee. We will be coming back in October and would love to take you and Eva to dinner! Let me know!
I can highly recommend Stewarts' Lodge at Nimpo Lake...they will fly you out to a backcountry lake cabin, in a float plane, for days of great fishing and quiet.
Man, your work is inspiring. I am a traveller photographer, and been contemplating for few years whether I should do vlogs of my travels. After watching your channel, I am going to start soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
The nuances of this piece were very amusing, fantastic really!!!! Always amazing cinematography, interesting choice of music for "The Hill" .. Star Wars's sequence engaged? The "in and out" of focus at the top. Raising Arizona, or Blue Velvet vibes I felt.. Planning my second trip to Vancouver Island early July with a ferry trip to places unseen thanks to you. Cheers and Thank You for the inspiration, with utmost respect!
I really like the way how you handle cinematic shots and everything, Sterling. Just want to let you know I never miss any of your videos. I hope the algorithms will be kind to you. It feels like you deserve more subs than what you have now. Please continue. I love your videos so much!!!
Awesome Highway 20 views! Looks amazing. Your jokes were great..... I dunno about the German beer tho! Hope she didn't charge you the German price! lol
I was in Bella Colla in '07 on my '05 GS. I rode in - rode out (sadly could not secure a ferry) It is certainly a very special place. Funny anecdote - I stopped in to get some local salmon Sushi (in Salmon country) Sadly they were OUT... If you check the history of how the road came to be in 1953. Private citizens that owned a couple Catepillars started cutting a goat path from each end & met in the middle. Before that the only way of getting to Bella C was by ferry. And from what I recall - Not much improvement has been done since the 50's. Likely due to very very little traffic.
I took that ferry and rode through there a few years back. Beautiful countryside as you note. The riding was a breeze and the anticipated challenge of "the hill" was anti-climatic and one of the reasons why local advise isn't always helpful!
20:58 sorry that is not a German beer!! It is a classic Canadian beer, one that is not even that popular anymore. Pill my dad used to drink them in the 60's. So glad you are enjoying British Columbia. There is so much more to see, and you are in a good place to see it!!
"I try not to pass gas on a trip like this, but sometimes it happens." Delivered with straight face. Perfect!
Seriously, I like that you are not continually trying to get in trouble to raise the drama, as so many vloggers do. Your experiences are relatable and your attitude is just right for me. Keep up the good work and don't worry about passing gas.
I lived in Nimpo Lake from 1983 to 86, my parents owned the general store. It’s a special place for sure.
I lived in Nimpo from the year I was born, 1996 until 2010. Which store if you don't mind me asking? The one right off of highway 20 on that short straight stretch overlooking Nimpo Lake? We had a Nimpo general store/gas station with a small hotel attached. I'm hoping that's the one you are talking about, since your parents would have been my next door neighbours as a child!
I keep saying this is some of the best filming in the ADV community....I strive to get 20% of what you are doing...keep it up!!!!
16:59 Can’t tell if that pun was intentional.
It figures Walterrific would catch that. What is the alternative to passing it? Explosion?
WALTER!!😁
Driving on a empty fuel tank is not fun
Spectacular scenery, spectacular filming. Thanks so much for feeding the dreams of ADV riders across the globe.
Canada has such beautiful and stunning scenery and the people you meet seem so friendly and helpful. An awesome trip, so well documented.
In my 70’s, my riding has been severely affected by Cancer, meaning an hour “in the saddle” is about as much as ai can mange due to pain and fatigue, so trips like yours are just a dream for me at the moment. So following you on your adventures is greatly appreciated and gives me incentive to try to ride a little longer each time I’m well enough to fire my Himalayan up - and my panniers are already packed with essential camping gear for the time I eventually beat this “thing” and can really hit the road again.

So well done, Sterling. It’s inspiring me to get out that part of the world one day. 😎
I was surprised finding that you already a Canadian 😂 .. and I checked your Channel there is an Episode in BC Canada 🇨🇦..

The drone shots as well as your video are amazing . Beautiful area
Thanks for a great trip video. Had to laugh at your confusion about “The Hill”!! We road through there last August and stayed in Anahim for a week. Some great riding off hwy 20
Wow! You’ve got the best drone footage of the Hill ever. Nicely done!
What the heck ? Love the classical music combined with the drone shots. Once again you’ve outdone yourself. Thanks.
I try not to pass gas on a trip like this but sometimes it happens 😂😂😂 love it!
Great review of Bella Coola. I try to go there once a year. Also, i agree with your assessment of the campground you stayed in. It's definitely one of, or no the best campground i ever stayed in. Thanks for the great episode. Keep on wheelin.
We are heading to Bella Coola next year. Do you mind sharing the name of that campsite? 12:23

Schnitzel and a pils - now that’s a nice end to the day! 😃
17:00 I have to try that . The problem I have is I'm always passing gas . 😊
😂
Keep'em coming!!
Well done Sterling. Make me smile every time I watch you
Wow. What a gift to the Internet and the motorcycling community in particular. Hard to add to the comments below, other than to add my affirmation of your wonderful videography , appreciation of nature, and the human experience .... Bravo !
Your narration on this particular video is absolutely priceless. “The Hill” bit had me laughing out loud. Thanks! I needed that 😂
Great to see you enjoying our great country. ❤🇨🇦 and your documentation 🏆
Outstanding! I like how you are portioning the episodes….otherwise I would have binged watched.
So glad to see that your spirits improved!
Thanks for releasing soon😅 ones again epic video ❤🔥 this is the real adventure 🔥

Gotta love 🇨🇦 Canada, especially B.C. It’s the best place on earth. Not the government mind you, just the landscape…..

Just go.
Thanks for another great episode. I love hearing that I’m not the only one who can over-think things as a work of art (“the hill”).
That is certainly a bucket list ride! Thanks Sterling, watching this from Sydney Australia in my lunch break and feel like I have actually done this journey - job well done.
Wow! Can’t wait to ride this route myself. It looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for capturing this.
42! My favorite episode yet.
Great job 👏
Anderson’s Adventures 42
Hands down my favorite episode thus far, Sterling.
Beautiful place, worked there in 2015 and really enjoyed the local fare and hospitality. The pass road in and out isn’t for the faint of heart as you mentioned but that’s their little secret to keep out the riff raff ☺️

Cool! Great to hear your story and good luck with the new bike and happy adventures ahead!
Absolutely freakin stellar!
Agreed! It appeared to be one of those "magic" days that tend to happen once or twice during a big trip. Tends to happen more often on solo trips too.
You do a great job of filming the b-roll in these videos. Bella Coola has been on my bucket list for a long time. By the way, that beer is not German. Not even close.
Great video thank you very well done thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.

Thank you for posting, those are another one of the very beautiful places, in an outstanding province of scenery !
Nice Video sterling !!👍
Another awsum and inspiring video. Thanks for sharing.
The hill confusion was pretty funny but you did capture it.
Always great to revisit a past ride👍
Have done the Hill maybe 6 times always thrilling --happy to see it again it's been a long while.Anyway thanks for taking us along and happy trails .
Great video, love the quote "I try not to pass gas on a trip like this" LoL
I normally do, LoL
Sterling, you make me chuckle, you make me wonder at the beauty out there, you make me wish, and you make me feel inspired to up my game from my photo blog to a video blog. I’m really enjoying your channel.
Fantastic video Sterling.
Nice work I do appreciate it very much.
Definitely going to add Bella Coola to my bucket list for a ride!
Thanks again, safe travels.
Stunning footage, especially the intro. I can see you got your Zen back that day.
I live in the Shuswap area of BC. I’m glad you made it to BC to experience the beauty.
One of my favourite episodes,wonderful trip!
I am loving this trip vlog. The ups and downs are setting me up for reality. I have the bike, the camp gear, and the riding gear. I just need tires and a plan.
Just awesome. It was a nice and relaxed watch, great work Sterling!
Amazing series, Sterling, simply amazing!! 👍👍
I'm enjoying watching your travels. Thanks.
Fun episode. I like it that you reference specific locations since I usually open google Earth and try to follow along on that app while watching. Fun to zoom right in on the Graham Inn rooftop and see the "lay of the land" there. Thanks again for wonderful videos!
Good commentary, artful filming and great music!
Nice drone footage. Beautiful. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Wow, great drone shots of you riding "the hill". I know while riding it is fun to stop and look at the views. But for you to take pictures and videos for us to enjoy makes for a busy day for you and is much appreciated.
Great coverage and documentary of “the hill”. Well done.
Amazing shots Sterling! Dang, you can see textures off those pine cones and trees.. is that the Fuji camera?
The paw prints are pretty big, got to be very cognizant of food bits on the ground in your campsite you stay at.. Bears always come back when they know foods around, hope their are bear boxes or bags to hang off trees away from your tent.. cheers!
Thank you and yes, the Fuji XT4
Buckaroo also said, where ever you go, there you are! LOL
Really enjoying sharing in your journey!! Cant wait for more! Thank you,
What can I say….. Awesome Sterling! Wonderful work! Thanks so much…👍
16:42 now you know why 3 of my 5 GSes are Adventure models. One less thing to worry about, plus I hate stopping for gas even in built-up areas.You are good for 500 kms easy.
Great stuff Sterling. You’re really in a Zen moment through this video. It’s a magical experience “riding” with you along this journey. Take care.
Terrific journey! I think you weren’t fazed by the climb due to that extremely steep logging road a video or two back. Getting fantastic ideas on how to film my own, albeit minor, journeys.
Enjoyed this episode very much! We just came back from the Jonquil for the second week in a row. Love your little place and Bisbee. We will be coming back in October and would love to take you and Eva to dinner! Let me know!
Sounds great!!!!
Very nice scenery! And being exposed to the elements and smells of nature on a bike, is definitely something I love about motorcycling.
I can highly recommend Stewarts' Lodge at Nimpo Lake...they will fly you out to a backcountry lake cabin, in a float plane, for days of great fishing and quiet.
Enjoyed this immensely... What a beautiful area and epic ride
Man, your work is inspiring. I am a traveller photographer, and been contemplating for few years whether I should do vlogs of my travels. After watching your channel, I am going to start soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
That’s cool!
The nuances of this piece were very amusing, fantastic really!!!!
Always amazing cinematography,
interesting choice of music for "The Hill" .. Star Wars's sequence engaged?
The "in and out" of focus at the top.
Raising Arizona, or Blue Velvet vibes I felt..
Planning my second trip to Vancouver Island early July with a ferry trip to places unseen thanks to you.
Cheers and
Thank You for the inspiration, with utmost respect!
There’s more blue velvet coming up …!
You're the best Sterling...i follow along every episode
Travel well good job 🎉
And thank you
Always a pleasure see your movie...Good Travel mate.
I really like the way how you handle cinematic shots and everything, Sterling. Just want to let you know I never miss any of your videos. I hope the algorithms will be kind to you. It feels like you deserve more subs than what you have now. Please continue. I love your videos so much!!!
Awesome Highway 20 views! Looks amazing. Your jokes were great..... I dunno about the German beer tho! Hope she didn't charge you the German price! lol
Such an excellent journey. i'm glad to see it working out for you.
I was in Bella Colla in '07 on my '05 GS. I rode in - rode out (sadly could not secure a ferry)
It is certainly a very special place.
Funny anecdote - I stopped in to get some local salmon Sushi (in Salmon country) Sadly they were OUT...
If you check the history of how the road came to be in 1953. Private citizens that owned a couple Catepillars started cutting a goat path from each end & met in the middle. Before that the only way of getting to Bella C was by ferry. And from what I recall - Not much improvement has been done since the 50's. Likely due to very very little traffic.
Really enjoyed this one sterling 🇦🇺👍
Another interesting and informative video , always waiting for the next one to come up . Thanks for taking us with you . Pete Western Australia
Thanks Pete, I always appreciate your comments!
One of your best video’s!
I took that ferry and rode through there a few years back. Beautiful countryside as you note. The riding was a breeze and the anticipated challenge of "the hill" was anti-climatic and one of the reasons why local advise isn't always helpful!
