- In this video we prepare for a long ride South as we cross the border back into the United Staes of America and end up in Eastern Washington for the night.
So sit back and relax, I think you're gonna like this!
Thanks for riding a long!
This video is part of a 24 day road trip that will take us from my home in Northern California, up to see my sister Janet in the town of Smithers, British Columbia, (which is approximately 1000 miles North of the U.S. Border) while camping as much as possible along the way.
So sit back and relax and enjoy my take on visual storytelling,.......
Thanks for Riding Along!

Awesome trip.
Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😎🍻 I can’t wait to go back
Seeing northern California and the magnificent Redwoods is pretty well on the top of the ol bucket list.
The Redwoods are unlike anything else my friend....
Thanks for riding along :)
I can sense the sadness in your voice in regard to the end of the adventure. Crossing back into the United States from Canada is one of those triggering milestones even though there's still a long way toward home.
Finding myself with more gear than I need is a theme in my life. Not so much with riding as it was backpacking. My plans always seemed bigger than reality....
Another fine episode in this series. I'm really grateful you've taken the time to make the videos so I can join vicariously. Maybe someday I'll be able to return the favor.
Thanks, as always, for riding a long scooter!
I was definitely sad to leave Canada but I’m already thinking about my next trip up
🍻😎❤️🇨🇦
Well, the trip might not have been life-changing; but it certainly was life enhancing, Forrest 😊
Agreed!!
Thanks Kevin 🍻😎
Your starting of the bike at the opening of your videos always makes me smile, just like my Himi, yet on the other side of the world...safe travels, sir...
Thanks for watching Robert, and the sound of my bike starting up makes me smile to. 😎🍻
I'm a new rider, but a fairly experienced hiker/backpacker. I've found that little conversations like that with random people I come across along my travels really mean something, and tend to stick with me. I'm glad you decided to include that in the video.
Great work as always, and thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for watching and I couldn’t agree more with you about the people we meet and the conversations that take place as a result being some of the most memorable parts of a trip.
Thanks again for watching 🍻😎
Life's all about experience and memories and you have loads to reflect on, good on you!
Thanks Mark!
And thanks for riding along…🍻😎
Really nice video Forest. Music was perfect for the ride and editing was spot on. Wonderful conversation with the folks from Illinois.
Thanks so much for the kind words,
I have met so many wonderful people on this trip. One of the best part of traveling is meeting people along the way.
Thanks again for watching 🍻😎
Aw man, loved this. Spot on with the music and the ride was awesome. Shame about those awful wild fires though. What a lovely couple you met from Illinois, they seemed genuinely interested in you and your Himmy.
I know your going home now; but I’m looking forward to watching your next production.
Thank you Forrest, your a true gent.
Neil from across the pond.
Thanks Neil,
Wildfires seemed to be everywhere on the way home…
Thanks so much for riding along and the next production is just around the corner 🍻😎
I enjoyed your videos my friend, I took my old Harley up to Hyder Alaska a few years back, all way up from my home in Alabama, got all the way to Hyder then had a little problem I discovered the next day, so no one way up there to assist with my problem but we loaded up camp and headed back to a small Harley dealership in Smithers, what a real cool town there, that night getting into Smithers we found a unique campground in Smithers, it was a golf course / campground on the river, now that was different but the native Indian running it could not be more accommodating, anyway, I’ve loved your videos, me and my buddy will be heading back out that way and pick up the Selkirk loop, leave in July, so take care hope I see u again on this channel. Robert
Thanks Robert for riding along,
I could not agree with you more, Smithers is a cool little town. As my sister called it
“The gem of the North“
I will definitely be returning soon 🍻😎🇨🇦
Is that a Sportsman's Warehouse chair I see strapped to your pillion bag🙂 Looks like you had a fantastic trip Forrest! I have to admit, I'm jealous, and it looks like the Mudhorn ran like a top. Great being able to visually tag along on your trip. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Thanks so much for riding along Alex! And to answer your question, yes, yes it is a sportsman’s warehouse chair 😁
The Mudhorn did great, I will be making that review video soon. 🍻😎
Hello there Forrest. I’m Glenn and will be going through Eureka this weekend and wanted to say hi. We lived in shelter cove for a couple years and then moved to Moab Ut. Now in Washington state. I have been riding for about 55 years. Going to ride the lost coast and then the usal. Always room for another.
Hi Glenn, I apologize for the late response. You are absolutely going to love the lost coast. Sounds like you’ve already been through there. Let me know how it went and maybe I’ll see you next time. 🍻😎
@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV just as great as always. The new store at honeydew was a surprise
Another great video. Finally got some decent weather and a long weekend. The bike ride to the cabin was sunny, mid 60s, and the bike run like a singer sewing machine. It is going to handle the oregon to NY trip in July just fine.
When decent weather returns, so does the number of riders… July will be here soon! For me the excitement of the coming trip was intense, hope you have a great adventure! 🍻😎
@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV yeah, July will definitely have more crowded roads. At least it will be out west in the rockies for a while.
Nice ride in nice weather to finish off your trip. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for watching Michael,
The weather just got warmer and warmer as I rode south,……good times…..🍻😎
II’ve commented before I live a west of Calgary, and I’ve actually ridden on those roads, and I’ve cross that same border. I love your videos, man keep it up. I’ll be riding down to California in September. Hope to see you on the road.
September/October is the best time of year to ride through the Redwoods of Northern California….
Thanks for watching and really glad you enjoy the channel, you live in a beautiful place and I will be back there soon! 🍻😎🇨🇦
Next time we chat, remind me to tell you a story about my border crossing there. Was quite the ordeal.
Liked when you said…
“Like a BMW only smaller” 😂
Keep up the nice work buddy.
~Grizz
🤣 what? It is like a BMW only smaller 😂
I have to say going through the border was flawless, but I have heard stories that were not as easy for sure. Can’t wait to hear yours ride safe my friend. 🍻😎
Love your channel and looking forward to your next trip whenever and wherever that may be! Would be fun to ride down to California or something. I’m thinking about picking the Himalayan up this winter as a first bike.
The Himalayan was my first bike and if I were to do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thanks for watching the channel and let me know how your first bike works out!
🍻😎
@@NorthboundMotorcycleADV cheers 🍻😎
Hi Forrest! Any new content coming? We miss your great videos.
New videos will be coming again soon 😎
Life gets super busy this time of year 😁
Thanks for watching and I’ll see ya soon on a new adventure 🍻👍
Checking in on Forrest also!
Do not mean to piggyback on your post.
Do we miss his escapades? Hell yes. Praying 🙏 he and Janet and family are well!
Your videos are fantastic, and your rides are inspiring! 🌍 How do you handle fatigue during those epic journeys and ensure you're always in top shape? Exciting topic!
Thanks for the the kind words…..
To answer your question:
If you’re fatigued, stop and rest.
If you are hungry, stop and eat.
If you see something on the side of the road, stop and look at it (this gives you the opportunity to get off the bike and stretch the legs)
Thanks for watching and more videos coming soon 🍻😎
