I always get hungry watching your videos! Amazing stuff once again!
slaWterCH Agree! I'll be eating hamburger tonight.
Great video Jamie once again mate
slaWterCH 😂😂😂 i thought i was the only one getting hungry
No joke!! He’s one person I would NOT ever have an argument on where to eat. If only it where that way with my girlfriend!
As-tu une belle quique Pierre Billon ?????
Gasoline: The Documentary
"How Not to Pour Gasoline in Your Bike: The Documentary"
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
Lots of eating, the ride must make you hungry, plus a lot of refueling. Nice video really enjoyed this trip.
One of these days I’ve got to go a bit further and go to Alaska, My fuel light comes on after about 220 km,
Another good trip. Go over to Vancouver Island up to Port Hardy Ferry to Prince Rupert.
Then back to Vancouver. Good options on other routes from Prince George, South down to the Fraser Canyon. Or east on the Yellowhead to Jasper then South to Banff and take highway 1 back to Vancouver.
Dude you’re pretty cool! We’re planning a trip from Buena Vista Colorado to Homer Alaska next summer. I’ve done the trip several times and used to live in AK.
Another awesome video Jamie keep it up.
It's horrible when you cant find gas station. i dunno, i just have honda cs1 with adventure modification and it's just 4,1 Lt gasoline.
Africa Twin my dream motocycle
and cs1 only 125cc hahaha LOL
Love seeing like these adventure
More of a travelogue than a motorcycle story. Would have liked in the beginning some film showing and explaining the motorcycles.
No review, he has that to.. This is about the trip and experience.
Great video
With more BMW F 800 GSA will go for one refueling! BMW better choice in this field! Anyway, enjoy your meal! :)
Meh. Wait until you need to fix your GS. They cost a bloody fortune. Did 90,000km on my 800 - it got expensive.
Awesome!!
great positive vibes!!
ride on!!
Nice wonderful trip
Is that a DCT ?
Did you rented the bike? If so how do u returned it?
Touratech sponsorship..
A man who likes to eat, ride and laugh. Keep doing what you're doing.
and smell gas
I had kind of wondered how Jamie ended up living in the US. It's become very obvious. Burgers. He's here mainly for the burgers.
Its not a episode of MotoGeo without Jamie stuffing his face with food. LOL!
Was you stoned the whole time you were there or what? haha
Haha haha hahaha smelling gas all the time you know ;))))))
"HA HA HA"
What a Hahahah nice hahha video hahaha
I hahaed to this comment hahaha
hahaha, thumbs up, hahaha :-)
Video would only be 10 minutes long without all the fake laughs
Aggravating as fuck....thx for seconding my disgust.
You've yeed your last haw brother
Please slow the edits down. Amazing video, let us take it in more
Agreed. This video could have easily been three times as long, or even a full series.
dbtrackz33 the edits are dizzyingly fast
i blinked and it was over. what did i miss?
I HAD TO REWIND IT AND PAUSE IT TO ENJOY MORE THEN 30 TIMES
Yep. For about 20 times I hit back 5s and paused to see what was going on. This would look better with less but slower scenes. I don't mind the burgers having one frame flickers in between glaciers and mountains.
The food, the laugh and the rumble of the Africa twin! Epic
Hi. I am a great Motogeo fan. Just a small thing I picked up; the scenes changes very quick. I can understand that you want to pack lots of info into a limited amount of time for this video but it makes everything feel very rushed. I am sure you had a great time on this trip and were taking it easy but the way the video is edited does not bring over this relaxed feeling.
Cheers
I'm so inspired. I'm going to get on my bike and ride. thank you for what you do my friend
Hi Jamie, Your trip videos are always the best. Love the enthusiasm and excitement.
How do you plan out where to stop, specifically for food. It seems impossible that you just randomly stop at all these awesome looking restaurants, and obviously you must plan in advance to a certain degree. Are you just going on experience, local suggestions, or yelp?
A little bit of everything, there is only so much you can plan, the rest just falls into place. If I'm riding past a place that looks good, I stop regardless of the plan! :)
Just google it up x)
Did you use the stock seat? How was it? Me and 3 buddies took out supermotos,(i was on a KTM 690 SMC) up thr PCH from LA to San Fransico and back, 1100 miles. My butt was raw every day! I even got a gel pad in san fran but and it helped some but on the way back down riding 400 miles in 1 day my butt was still killing me. I had a ton of fun and Going from Sport bike to supermoto the idea of a more comfy bike and longer trips really peaks my interest.
All of my favourite things. Motorcycles, food, and mountain biking! Well done sir, well done.
Thanks bud :)
Now, you need to plan that trip to Atlantic Canada!!
You have a dream job. Riding motorcycles and eating good food! The video was awesome I'm glad you had a safe trip.
Good food ? seriously ? I hope his body will forgive him later
Surprise toy City it’s called LIVING!!! This is a pleasure trip, not a weight watchers meeting. lol
Loved it! Longer version please :)
BTW, I've never run out of fuel and I've done more than 300km / tank :)
Just stumbled across this channel. Great video! Subbed!
Thanks buddy, please share with your friends! :) Ride free
lmao you just keep sticking motogeo everywhere.
fuck you batman you is Bruce wheiner I´m Dougras you dont is the Dougras
We are waiting for the baez. I had no idea what he was talking about until a bear showed up.
There isn't a journalist/youtuber/biker with a more positive attitude than you, Jamie. Great video as usual, these are so inspiring.
Thanks buddy! :)
I was admiring your quick edit style. So even though others are complaining I did enjoy it and its a LONG way and lots of pictures to cram in so I get it.
Jamie, great cinematography! Great angles and editing. Love to watch movies like this that show the great country of the US and our neighbors to the north. There are many attempts on YT of MC trips which are entertaining but your videos are a steps above the masses.
Thanks buddy! We keep trying :) Ride free
Wonderful video. Really enjoyed this. The Africa Twin might just be the bike for me.
Hard for me to believe Honda would make a invention bike with tube type tires???
Great trip! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Germany.
this has been my dream trip for over 20 yrs, it's getting closer to happening, I don't know if I can handle the anxiety of running out of gas.
Would love to know how large fuel tank is on African
Did the same trip on a 2017african twin. I never had any gas issues.
@@jimwortham8634 On a basic AT you have like 18.8 if i remember good and on AT adventure sports (not sure we call it that way in EN), this is 24.8 ! You can do like 500 kilometers (don't know in miles). Ofc it depends on which mods you are to drive and how you drive. But you can do 450 easy with it.
So many Burgers, You should check your fat in blood 😂
Hard riding, cold temps you can eat anything!
Yap, eat big, ride hard, no need for a gym membership :) haha
Probably the worst adventure bike travel Video on YT, split second views with not enough time to absorb the signs etc, but many views of a fuel nozzle & him eating , supposed to be about the Bike, but its hardly mentioned = Rubbish .. I've logged 300k miles plus on bikes,,
I've often been curious about what it's like riding into Alaska from Seattle. I just didn't realize the distance. Thanks for sharing the experience. Looks like you know your way around food as well as motorcycles. :)
the Honda Africa Twin is actually a very ugly bike. it's a nice bike i am sure. just ugly.
Jamie, any feedback on the bike? I love how the Africa Twin looks on paper, but after 2,000 miles it must have had some shortcomings? Did you ever wish for a bigger (and more expensive and heavier) BMW or KTM?
1000cc's ain't nothing to sneeze at. Not to mention that this type of long adventure is what the bike was made for.
Thats my biggest criticism with these fluff videos, no substance. A giant ADV company outfits a capable off-road ADV bike over 800cc's and we learn little about the bike's capabilities or the additional gear.
@Rata 4U Then why even mention tour tech or the AT or feature them, or have it as click bait in the title?
Couldn't watch as time between edited shots so short - did my head in like one of those stupid short ads flicking so fast between shots. Such a pity.
You're so happy it's infectious!
Great video!
Just watched your video before I go to work, Brilliant, funny and just made me wanna ride my Africa twin more,,,,,,,
What's not to like about this video? 39 dislikes? I don't get it. Great stuff as always Jamie and crew
False laughs
Fast cuts
Zero info about the bike
Zero info about the mods
Limited info about the countries
No statistics
No end review of the bike.
Just a bloke on an adventure along with all the other bods on the road!
Fa Fa PH Phoney ass video!!
Du Du Dumb ass - I went up to Alaska in 05 (12GS) and never ran out of gas once. No - not once.
Danim24 You can find thousands of videos on Africa Twin, I think he just wanted to do something more fun. He could have made a more detailed, with less rapid shots, but maybe nobody would have liked to see a one and a half hour video 😉
Probably from the 39 Canadians from Stewart BC with a computer who disliked Jamie giving the "Thumbs up to America" with the Salmon Glacier in the background - which is firmly planted in BC. Seriously though, I can't believe that there are actually 39 people with computers in Stewart... I mean really.
Jealousy I guess? :P
Even by the standards of Canadian riding, that was a lot of bug splatter on the bike - good times
All of Jamie’s adventures include so much food! LOL. These are a little bit like Parts Unknown plus bikes
I was convinced that Jamie was German because of his bizarre accent , but i read that he is from Ohio. Curious
No dude,! I am originally from Yorkshire, England, now California. Not German, not from Ohio. :)
MotoGeo thanks for the explanation , old chap, greetings from Chile
@@motogeo Im from Newcastle now in Ohio so i have us covered LOL
He likes to laugh a lot :D
Ha Ha Ha !
Dude what’s with you spilling fuel in every shot?
dream rides these mate!
Your editing makes me dizzy
Dude seems so happy! His enthusiasm is contagious. Adventure bikes aren't my first pick but this guy having all this fun makes me want one.
Great video and trip! I'm planning my first big solo motorcycle trip for 2018. I live in Ohio in the middle of the US. Should I go south into Mexico and beyond and or north through Canada to Alaska? Suggestions?
I would love to tour Mexico, but is it safe?
Blackrainbow absolutely NOT!!
That's a shame.
if you want to go then go man. as long as you stay away from the western coast areas and dont flash money around like a moron that thinks they re in italy
look at bonzai becky , those two girls have been all over south america with no issues
Jamie remember if a bear attacks to use bear spray. It makes you taste like a taco.
I reckon this is your best trip yet but, I've got to ask, how the chuff do you stay so skinny when you eat so many bloody burgers? ;)
Ride a lot and burn it off! :)
One does not simply go to AK and not ride the Dalton Highway
Great edit! Very inspirational! Jb.
nice video.. i just subscribed.. do you have someone with you filming you riding or do you actually stop and setup the camera, and do drive bys. thanks.
When I first started MotoGeo I did it all solo, now I travel with a cameraman so that we can shoot in a better way and more effectively. Cheers, JR
what does geo stand for ?
sdq sdq probably for something like worldwide ^^ maybe Jamie responds ..
sdq sdq moto world(geo) maybe.
That laugh is filled with joy and fucking annoys
Quit watching after 4 minutes because saw no commentary of the Honda Africa Twin. More interested in the bike's performance than the food and local events.
Hey Chris, my adventures are just that, my reviews can be found in the Review Playlist, the AT review is here: ua-cam.com/video/VPjcGaSw1f8/v-deo.html
Thanks, appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for this link in the comments. Mentioning this at the video's beginning might have decreased the thumbs down ratio. Luckily for me I watched the video all the way through this time and participated in the comments.I removed my thumbs down and I'm giving you a thumbs up and subscribing.
You've got plenty of reviews for that. But like... I guess the fact that the bike's reliable for such a big trip proves on it's own to be a good fit. Why don't you go to a local store and try it out? xD
Then what you want is a REVIEW. I’m sure you already knew that though. I think the videos are just what I want to see! Reviews are a dime a dozen, and are useless to me as I make my own opinions on bikes/anything I buy.
what do you mean your tyre was badly worn? they are still good.
The Africa Twin does not reach distances more than 300 kms? You've been hammering the throttle Jamie! Beautiful trip, I have to go there once. I'm planning my next trip already.
Yeah with a 6 Gallon Tank at 50 MPG , he should be hitting way more than 300 kilometers.
Really amazing journey! Keep up the good work! We here at VikingBags really appreciate your work!
Africa Twin CRF1000 rocks. Love the video, keep them coming
The ride from Washington into BC and on through to Alaska is absolutely amazing. Every motorcyclist who finds themselves on North America's west coast should consider doing it; definitely doesn't disappoint.
Fixing flats on the road is a pain in the butt. Tire tubes are so old school. Why do they still use tube tires and not a tubeless? Just plug the hole and carry on with tubeless tires. The rear wheel is even harder to remove than the front. Four wheel off-road ATVs use tubeless,and a flat can be fixed in a jiffy.
Short answer to your question, you can still ride with a slightly bent rim using tube tires. Thats important when your miles from nowhere, throw tire irons in the kit.
I think your experience is very limited. Have a 'big hit' in the bush and see what good a plug will do, ha ha.
I was asking myself ....What is BEZZ?....then the BEAR appears.
If you go that way again, Northern Exposure campground in Prince George have spaces dedicated for motorcycle travelers.
Amazing trip! I envy you! I'm wishing I will be able to buy my first motorbike in the next few weeks. I love it that you have listed all the gear you used in your adventure. It's very useful to people like me, new to this amazing world. Thanks!
HA-HA-HA!
Jamie - logistics question. Pick the bike up from Touratech in Seattle and leave it at Anchorage and fly out? I presume they ship it back at some stage? Also - was that a one off favour for you or are Touratech set up to do same for joe public? And a definite YEEE HAAA from me. Amazing vid and an amazing place. One for the TO DO LIST!
Nice Sir..Good ficture..wow..
holly shit, did a Harley rider really wave at you !?!
i live in the mountains of NC, bikers come from all around to ride on our curvy roads and the Harley riders only wave at other Harley rides, while all other motorcycles wave at any other motorcycles
MrMrsregor Haha. That crap still going on? I liked it when the Japanese build look n sound alike cruiser bikes. They didn’t know who they where waving at.
The bears were paid actors.
Really like your videos they always makes me want to ride my motorbike and never turn back.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them so professional.
what a forked up accent.
Thats one happy man! Nice trip. Nice bike. Nice food!
What a positive rider! I can't get enough of you videos! you're more than welcome to come visit the beautiful Quebec
Kinda surprised the Africa Twin can't make 300km between gas stations. My Multistrada 1200S can do it, and it's basically a race engine.
It's funny, I have made a playlist of nothing but MotoGeo Stuff, especially the road trips. Jamie, you are by far one of the most likable and fun presenters I've seen. You always find a positive in anything.
Enjoy making them, and experiencing fun new things in motorcycling.
17 minutes it's not enough for me ... an hour or more would be awesome 😁
Found your vid researching the Africa twin. Great selection of bikes and interesting locations. I notice you have not yet visited the demanding twisty blacktop in western North Carolina. Glad to offer a few top spots if interested. Check out "The Dragons Tail". Many more adventurous rides that can get you over 6000 ft.
what economy did the CRF get on this trip per tank
Wow this guys is so sloppy
Both of us watching video ride bikes so nice to see you had a tire problem took care of it always interested in mechanical breakdowns sometimes it's always hot perfect
I rode today where the thumbnail was shot! Salmon Glacier in Hyder, Alaska.
the accent is irritating.
Ola Jaime! I like and love all your episode.. excellent, fantastic, phenomenal, cool..
Very inpiring for me as a rider too.
So I get my bike and do the ride..
Why not?!...❤🥰
Engaging and powerful; just like a book I read that was powerful in its message and delivery. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
I think you love filming fuel stops haha
realy nice trip and nice editing
Greetings from Germany
Honda CRF 1000 Africa Twin, best (ADV) Bike in the world.... :D
It's impossible not to like this video! Way to go, bro! Way to go...
show I'm watching your travels to get to know these places better and prepare better because in January of 2020 I'll be leaving Brazil to run all the countries in the world a trip with a duration of 6 years maybe we'll meet by some parents
How are you guys constantly running out of gas???? You fill up northbound at Gitwanga, then again in Meziadin Junction, (which now has 24-hr card locks!!!) Again in Stewart, then Meziadin again, then Bell II Lodge, Then Iskut, then Dease Lake....I don’t get it? NEVER pass up an opportunity to top off!!!! Geez, you guys!!!! Look, top to bottom, it’s 460 US miles from the Yellowhead Highway to the Alaska Highway, and there’s gas about every 150km. You’re being clueless or reckless or....something. You’ve got to be trying a bit harder there, boys.
Please stop calling it "Canada." It's called British Columbia. You drove through British Columbia. Canada is six days away by highway.
