March of the Contraption
United States

It's fun to get out and experience life. This channel will host some of my contraption derived experiences.
1st Minutes of ownership with a New '23 KTM 890 Adv R - Is this the future?
It's a joke.
Bike is a brand new (never owned) '23 KTM ADV R with 1 mile, went to start the bike after I finished installing a bag on the tail rack on the day of pick up. When I go to restart the clicks of battery death start.
It was funny, because when they brought the bike out to me it was running just had enough crank for 1 start before the battery gave up the ghost. Since the video the bike has done roughly 100 mi across 2 trips with no issues so far!
Dealership was absolute legends and got me a new battery installed and SAE connector within an hour and had me on my way with no fuss what so ever.

Motorcycle Audio Low Pass Experiment Test (0 - 400) - Read Description

Howdy folks, if anyone has watched a few of my other videos your ears have noticed my audio is always a tragedy. For this year I was gifted a x4 360 and due to this camera upgrade from my DJI Action (gen 1) I decided I could purchase an external audio recorder. The external audio recorder I got is a Zoom H1 Essentials, after my 1st use I have some thoughts I also want to hear yours. Problem, th...

Howdy Join two friends fail at connecting 90 to 410 via forest service roads. Luckily flexibility is the key to fun power and we change plans at the last minute to visit government meadow on the Naches trail. Yup, ended up still having snow, but no risk of sliding off a cliff, that was lit. If you're interested in seeing a non-snow view of this part of the trail, my 1st video has this section f...
Honda Monkey - ECOTRIC 600LBS Motorcycle Carrier - Unload
Переглядів 552 місяці тому
Howdy! Working on the final video for this latest attempt to navigate from 410 to 90 via Forest Service roads. During that time I wanted to highlight some of the extra time and effort it takes to transport a motorcycle somewhere. It's not just a google map search and what ever the time says that's it. During this trip: gather motorcycle gear, load motorcycle gear into truck, attach Carrier to t...

Tahuya ORV Series: Intro - Dirt Bike
Переглядів 473 місяці тому
Howdy! Ever been to Tahuya? Did you get lost? Me too, every time I come out here! Because of this, I have decided to document all the marked trails. If you're familiar with Tahuya you'll know there are ATV, 4x4, and dirtbike trails. I'll be doing the bulk of the documentation on a dirt bike. A 4x4 may show up every once in a while. The idea at this point in time is at least one Tahuya Trip a mo...

Join me as I bop around on a 2023 Honda Monkey at Tahuya State park. You'll hear some half conversations and get to rock out to a Yoshimura RS3. Since my last video, i've put my money where my mouth is. Now with Mobber Tires and upgraded rear suspension. Quick tire review: If you're going to do any trail with mud, they're light years better over stock. 100% would recommend. About 5 miles of roa...

Puyallup to Idaho Falls 1-shot (Ambient music + 1961 JFK Inaugural speech)

Howdy everyone! The journey today is going to take me a bit over 11 hours, 740 miles, three gas stops, one Starbucks run, and finally through one time zone. Lucky for you it's a 10x Hyperlapse, so only about an hour of time. Along the route come through the cascades, into Oregon maybe you'll spot a potato spill on I84 East in Idaho and finishing off with a double rainbow 'storm'. No drama, just...

I purchased a 2023 Honda Monkey in Sept 2023. I have been riding motorcycles on and offroad for 20 years and in my experience I think that small bikes make for big adventures! I think there is joy to be found in exploring the local area, which my Honda Monkey happily aids me in doing.

Honda Monkey 400 Mile 3 Day Camping Trip WA BDR Section 2

Howdy! Decided to do a multi day 400 mile camping trip with a few friends this year. It was a lot of fun to do on a small bike. Some challenges came about from the 125cc size and the street bias tires once on the dirt. The wind noise is really bad I am still trying to figure out how to address. Wanted to still post the the experience for anyone wondering if you could, not if you should. Managed...
