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.
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.
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.
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.
I took the same trip in June 2018. Took 3 weeks, 6000 miles and the best time ever. Rode a BMW r1200 RT, at 65 years old and slept in a tent almost every night. Will do it again in 2020
I ride a Honda pcx 125cc about 100 miles a day. Even that is so much fun sometimes. If i could afford it i would do exactly what you do. Your spirit and excitement made me smile throughout the video. Shinny side up!
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!
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. :)
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.
@@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.
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
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! :)
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.
I have made that trip. Headed south on the Cassiar Highway to Stewart/Hyder. We were heading from Alaska, back to Seattle. Got some bad gas in Stewart. We discovered the Salmon Glacier (and the Grand Duc Gold Mine) quite by accident. What a spectacular place!!
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!
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.
Great ride..!! My father did that same ride after WWII with his cousin from the East Coast of Boston. Back then they ran out of roads or the road conditions were so bad they couldn't go any further..
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?
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.
I have seen the Salmon Glacier. Years ago my son and I were in Hyder looking for a place to camp. We followed a sign pointing to the Grand Duc Mine. At one point we came around a bend and one of the most spectacular views I have seen, the Salmon Glacier, was spread out before us. We didn't even know it was there. Great trip, it takes some guts riding a motorcycle up the Cassiar Highway.
Epic man! I'm from Vancouver and ride that road north of Whistler all the time (Duffy Lake Road, where you chilled on the logs in the lake). You had the right bike for it, my Aprilia Dorsoduro wouldn't make those long road between gas stations! Fantastic mate... bloody fantastic!
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?
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
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.
Awesome work Jamie! I've got a similar trip planned from the east coast through Alaska in a few years. We did Newfoundland this past June which was excellent. If you get a chance to head that way the Fish and Chips are amazing!
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.
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.
I rode the Stewart-Cassier/Alaska HWy in 2015 and can't believe how many issues you had with gas. The only time I had to fill up not at a station was when I tried to go from Whitehorse to Junction 37 and came up 10 miles short. That was on a 2011 Vstrom.
Your videos have rekindled my interest in bikes after nearly ten years without one I picked up a used KTM 990 Adv. and a 530 enduro and am looking at a 790 duke or scrambler /cafe racer. Thank you, Happy and broke :~} !!!
As someone whose rides in Alaska, I highly recommend you go north next time! Go to deadhorse! It is on the north coast and is the ultimate destination for adventure bike guys. The highway it self is mostly dirt/mud/gravel but you can’t ride further north than that in the US maybe even North America (unless you can ride to Alert, Canada 🤣)
I absolutely love your videos jamie. riding bikes and smashing food. You deserve millions of followers. All the best and keep it up from lukie in England :D +MotoGeo
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.
Honda made the first V twin 'trail' bike in 1983, the XLV 750 which was a shaft drive bike. I have the 18th bike that came out of the factory. It is in the Philippines.
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 ?????
A man who likes to eat, ride and laugh. Keep doing what you're doing.
and smell gas
The food, the laugh and the rumble of the Africa twin! Epic
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! :)

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.
I'm so inspired. I'm going to get on my bike and ride. thank you for what you do my friend
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.
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.
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!!
What a positive rider! I can't get enough of you videos! you're more than welcome to come visit the beautiful Quebec
Gasoline: The Documentary
"How Not to Pour Gasoline in Your Bike: The Documentary"
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
I took the same trip in June 2018. Took 3 weeks, 6000 miles and the best time ever. Rode a BMW r1200 RT, at 65 years old and slept in a tent almost every night. Will do it again in 2020
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
Cracking slice of the action, a real insight into life on the road, ride,eat,petrol,sleep repeat 😊
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???
Africa Twin CRF1000 rocks. Love the video, keep them coming
Its not a episode of MotoGeo without Jamie stuffing his face with food. LOL!
I ride a Honda pcx 125cc about 100 miles a day. Even that is so much fun sometimes. If i could afford it i would do exactly what you do. Your spirit and excitement made me smile throughout the video. Shinny side up!
You're so happy it's infectious!

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them so professional.
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.
Really like your videos they always makes me want to ride my motorbike and never turn back.
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 !

Greatest videos on the you tube. Thanks Jamie!
Γεια σου Κωστακη !
Another great video. Blend of bike action, food and general local snapshots is just the right mix. Keep up the great work
Loved it! Longer version please :)
BTW, I've never run out of fuel and I've done more than 300km / tank :)
I love the bikes , the roads , scenery , the people .....but I'm totally amazed at how much you eat
Great trip! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Germany.
after watching the three videos from jamie, i am totally a fan of MotoGeo!!! WOW.... What an experience.
All of Jamie’s adventures include so much food! LOL. These are a little bit like Parts Unknown plus bikes
Greatest videos on the planet. Thanks Jamie!
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
Love all your videos thanks for sharing 😊
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! :)

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.

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?
This is my favorite video!! Absolutely love it! I would never say that you travel with your cameraman as a passenger, incredible! You are great !
Ha, yes sometimes I travel with a cameraman on the back, it all depends on the adventure and the cameraman/bike availability
"HA HA HA"
This is so awesome!!! It's on the bucket list brother!
Was you stoned the whole time you were there or what? haha
Haha haha hahaha smelling gas all the time you know ;))))))
I have seen the Salmon Glacier. Years ago my son and I were in Hyder looking for a place to camp. We followed a sign pointing to the Grand Duc Mine.

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

dream rides these mate!
Love your videos Jamie! This time you were riding through my back yard. Looks like another amazing adventure. All the best and keep them coming.
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
Motorcycles, food, and gas oh my. Sweet vid!
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.
After watching this video ive arranged to meet with my two mates to arrange our trip, great stuff, top bloke
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! :)
Awesome work Jamie! I've got a similar trip planned from the east coast through Alaska in a few years. We did Newfoundland this past June which was excellent. If you get a chance to head that way the Fish and Chips are amazing!
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
i love how this was edited together. subscribed
He likes to laugh a lot :D
Ha Ha Ha !
I live in Australia and your videos make me want to ride across the country!
Do it Mate!! 😎
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.
Once again, a great video, love it. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work.
lmao you just keep sticking motogeo everywhere.
fuck you batman you is Bruce wheiner I´m Dougras you dont is the Dougras
every single food you show in this video looks so delicious...... what an adventure!
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.

I love the progression of the brand new squeaky clean bike to the trail worn down and dirty bike at the end :-p
Here's an idea to avoid spillage when gassing up; put the nozzle slightly inside the tank instead of 5 cm above it. Works for Jerry cans too.
Just watched your video before I go to work, Brilliant, funny and just made me wanna ride my Africa twin more,,,,,,,
HIGH QUALITY FILM.HD VIEW. VERY FUNNY AND CLEAVER. THE BEST BIKER FILM EVER. ENJOY IT. BRAVO MY FRIEND.
Amazing video and trip. The scenarios are beautiful and it just keep me dreaming to ride worldwide on a motorbike. Keep it up mate. Cheers
As a non-native English speaker you did a good job narrating this video.

Most entertaining advert I've ever seen!

I just read your article on this, and I’m dying to try it when I move to WA 😁
Top video again lad. Breathtaking scenery up there!
Really interested in the Africa Twin and riding to Alaska, thank you for a great video!
I loved his "HAHAHA". So much passion.
Canada and Alaska are beautiful! Done it twice.
I love your adventures and this is the best! The best countrys with the best motorbike. Please show more of this
Thats one happy man! Nice trip. Nice bike. Nice food!
Thank you for the wonderful video. I felt like traveling together.
As someone whose rides in Alaska, I highly recommend you go north next time! Go to deadhorse! It is on the north coast and is the ultimate destination for adventure bike guys. The highway it self is mostly dirt/mud/gravel but you can’t ride further north than that in the US maybe even North America (unless you can ride to Alert, Canada 🤣)
Every time he did the "ha ha ha ha" I just couldn't help myself instantly smile !
I absolutely love your videos jamie. riding bikes and smashing food. You deserve millions of followers. All the best and keep it up from lukie in England :D +MotoGeo
Wow, fantastic video. Great adventure, amazing cinematography, love every bit about it.
Amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing with us!
Love your enthusiasm! I'm heading there this August thanks for the fantastic video!!
If you go that way again, Northern Exposure campground in Prince George have spaces dedicated for motorcycle travelers.
What an awesome trip. Lucky you to enjoy such a wicked motorcYcle for that amazing trip
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.
you are very good with your camera and choosing the right spots. amazing loved it to the bits. thanks
Now this is what u call an adventure
Honda made the first V twin 'trail' bike in 1983, the XLV 750 which was a shaft drive bike. I have the 18th bike that came out of the factory. It is in the Philippines.
