  • In this video we will leave Bow Valley Provincial Park early in the morning and head towards Calgary and some much needed maintenance on the Mudhorn...21,000mile service, rear tire replaced, and more...then riding South before crossing back into British Colombia.
    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!

    The head winds along that route are no joke!
    Those early morning starts are the best.
    Great video thanks for taking us along.

      Man, I couldn’t agree more with you Critter
      Those head winds were brutal!
      I love riding early in the morning as everything is fresh and new and the day presents itself in a fantastic way on a motorcycle.
      Thanks for riding along as always !🍻😎

    What an exquisite morning at the start of the video. Just a breathtaking landscape in the pre-dawn light. It’s the kind of morning ride that burns into my memory.
    And the freezing, sleepless nights camping… man your video reminded me how glad I am that they’re in my rear view mirror!
    Watching your trip was a great way to start my day. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the service video but I’m sad the trip is drawing to a close.

      Thanks for the great comments Scooter, I absolutely love riding early in the morning. To be able to wake up at a campsite and have some coffee and start your day that way for me. It just doesn’t get any better. Thanks for watching as always, and The service video will be coming out at the end of the series

    That's a great video, Forrest-totally enjoyed it! And, I like the name; "Mudhorn"! The Black Pearl sends greetings to a fellow Himalayan scooter🙂

      Thanks so much for the comments Alex!
      The Black Pearl is a great name for the Himalayan however, as you probably already know, I am a huge Star Wars fan, so I named my bike the “Mudhorn” after the Mandalorian! 😁
      Thanks again for riding along Alex only a few more episodes to go in the series. 🍻😎

    Made my day seeing your video posted for Saturday morning coffee! Another beautiful ride and always love the brewery stops. Bummer your almost through your trip vlog, but as a fellow Himalayan guy, also looking forward to your service video.

      Thanks for watching Dan and I’m glad my videos go well with morning coffee 😆☕️
      I have to admit, I do the same thing while watching the Motorcycle Travel Channel, really enjoy having morning coffee, and watching his videos. My service video will be combined with a gear review, and I should have that out at the conclusion of the trip. Only a few more episodes to go now, thanks for riding along Dan! 🍻😎

    Agree about the comments on the morning. I love those crisp morning rides with the sun. PRICELESS. Great way to start my Sat morning with coffee. Curious about your bike repairs and what issues you had at 21K of miles. I have a Moto mechanic friend in Calgary.
    Cheers. ~Grizz

      If you can’t get out for an early morning Saturday ride for yourself, then I guess drinking coffee and watching my video would be a good substitute lol I have to admit I do the same thing while watching the motorcycle Travel Channel, Sterling Noreen does a great job and I really enjoy watching his videos to morning coffee as well. rest assured I will be doing a service video at the completion of this series and will talk about what problems I had with the bike at that time. Thanks for riding along and it was great meeting you the other day! Ride safe, my friend

    Really luved the early ride in the pre dawn light.
    Lovely scenery the whole ride. Headwinds are a bummer and it’s worrying when your real low on gas, we’ll into the “F” and you don’t know where the next service station is.
    As a fellow Himmy owner I’m looking forward to your service vid.
    Bummer that the trip is winding down; but what awesome places you’ve been and seen.
    Mind how you go.

      Next time you ride Alderpoint road up to hey36, cross the hwy and go through bridgeville and take Neland road up and over into Arcata. Dirt/gravel road most of the way with amazing views. Take a look at this video I made riding the opposite direction

      Unfortunately the trip that was planned had to be scrapped. There are a bunch of roads closed up in Mendocino county. Down trees! Heading south on HWY 1 parts are closed as well. Maybe it’s a good time to head to Utah!
      Look forward to seeing your next video!

    What is you cruising speed in this video? 😊

    • @NorthboundMotorcycleADV
      @NorthboundMotorcycleADV  Рік тому

      First of all, congratulations to you and your wife on the new Himalayan’s! You are going to have so much fun with those bikes! To answer your question, 55 is the sweet spot, but cruising between 60 and 65 all day long is totally possible and I did it for several days. Anything over 65 the bike starts to become unhappy.
      Thanks for watching and hope to see you too on the road someday 🍻😎
