@mikefreeriderAsia I'm sure our paths will cross at some point buddy

Definitely and thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it, the Delta was beautiful. and thanks for watching

we should put our 2 videos together , I had many scenes lost due to Battery in Camera dead, lol

​@@mikefreeriderAsiaI had some as well, due to memory card full! Note to self for next time...extra memory card!

@@ragbag46 yep it was too fast and it seems it's always too fast and then when you realize how much fun we had in a good group of guys. Always a pleasure to ride with you my friend. Have a great New Year

@@Oggiwara1 thanks for watching, yes it was deliberate as when it is not important information I just override with music 🎵, will work on better quality. Thank you 🙏🙏

Awesome vid Mike. Thanks.

@@didiermazzer7956 spell to travel in China you have to travel with a group or at least join a group and there are several ones that ride across China but you will not be allowed to go solo. As for Vietnam it's the same criteria you need to have an agency and a group ride to ride your own motorcycle. If you go there and rent you can do whatever you want but if you import your bike then you are subject just to the rules of Vietnam. It's a silly rule but that's life.

@ ok, thanks Mike. I will therefore avoid China and Vietnam, and as the borders of MYAMMAR are closed, I will pass through Pakistan, Russia, Mongolia, Russia and Japan. but here I am stuck, how to reach Thailand or Malaysia is my obstacle today. Thank you in any case for your very clear answer.

That was Colin's Work !!!!

The people make the trip great Gavin , and Win does a pretty good Job as well 555, looking forward to the next Adventure

@@americano61 thanks for watching

@@gavinrcolpitts1988 well I did the easy part, taking all those great pictures takes some skills and you definitely have an eye for photography. Now we can sit back relax enjoy the trip with a great pictorial.

@@michaelpaulmurdoch2894 thanks for watching

@@duonghoangsang1996 I purchased my lights from a shop in Chonburi, Thailand. They are not expensive but work really well.

@@KhounSilavong thanks for watching, plan to be back in Laos in End of January

​@@mikefreeriderAsiaWelcome you😊

@@JEFF0551 thank you for watching, on this trip I used my CRF 300 rally as we had a few areas where the roads are quite rough especially in Laos. My NC still runs great at 279,000 km.

@@mikefreeriderAsia thanks for the reply, look forward to the next, stay safe.

Great video Mike, Ride safe mate. What year is your CRF300 Rally, and how you finding it ?

Thank you Tony

@@MaryChartrand appreciate your comments and hopefully you subscribe

@@goose3973 thank you

@@skiesyvong7262 thanks for watching

@@my_random_nick enjoy your ride

@@mikefreeriderAsia thank you Mike, I really respect what you achieved on your motorcycle 💪

@@danielbaietu7183 thank you for watching so I translated I love continental tires, if you're looking for a good tire that will perform in all conditions I would recommend continental TKC70, these are 70/30 tires and are good in the rain and light off-road and will give you good wearability.

@@nealyang3774 thanks for watching.. With no war this area is very beautiful.

@@zippo1009 thanks for watching and thank you for the suggestions

@@hmoobfresno5979 Long Tieng g.co/kgs/PbNyQtj

@@Herbert-dy1uf thanks for watching and now I have 279,000 km. I bought my covers on a Thai platform called Lazada and it's good and only cost about $20

@@trevorbartels1730 thanks for watching it's a few years back that I was using the shinkos and I believe that I was riding 30 PSI in the front 36 on the rear. If you've got a lot of gear you could also go 32/38

@@mikefreeriderAsia Thank you.

@@samirhadade thanks for watching and I'm not had any issues with my DCT, love DCT

@@kevinthailand2567 this video was actually produced by brother-in-law after my mom passed away 8 years ago. I saw it for the first time at her celebration of life

@@goose3973 thank you very much

@@mal3519 thank you very much

@@nomoreblahblah it's actually a Honda screen, made in Italy, unfortunately the numbers are faded and all I have left is M-118c, and the beauty of the screen was that it had flexibility, where is a Givi screen that I had purchased for a cb500x what easily break. Thanks for watching and ride safe

@@Marauder-xy5sg thanks for the info, I was back there last November and there were members of the American army still looking for bones for the MIA. It's a very special place for me, and I plan to return again in the future.

@@paulrobson1443 thank you very much for watching, I now have 279,000 km and it's a 2014.

@@jimoliver4226 my buddy is a BMW shop in Bangkok and he told me what the miles I have I could not afford a BMW what's the cost of the service is much more!!! There's no doubt BMW is a great bike, but in my opinion so is the NC!!! Enjoy whatever you ride and ride safe

@@mikefreeriderAsia thanks, doing research and really leaning to NC, maybe see you on the road someday (btw, not a huge guy and Mrs is 45 kg, NC good for touring 2 up?

@@jimoliver4226 again this is my opinion but for two lighter people like you described should be no issue. My 500x struggled a bit in the mountains two up, but my NC had no issues.

@@mikefreeriderAsia thanks

@@belthagor03 no need in Thailand but I wish I did have on a few trips , especially my trip to Tibet

@@jeff.alive09 Ride safe and enjoy your journey.

Life is great in Thailand. Language is not a big issue as you can always get by. Google translate is your friend. Enjoy your new suspension

Unfortunately no just postings on my Facebook page. At that time I wasn't doing a lot of videos and also the schedule was quite tight as we were riding every day. But I can tell you I have fond memories and hopefully next year i'll go back for a couple of weeks

I'm sure it was amazing Mike. Couple more questions when you have a moment... I dream of visiting Thailand and New Zealand. I'm wondering how easy/hard it is to tour if you're completely foreign to the driving, language, culture, weather, hazards, etc. Renting a bike would be another concern (safe, reliable, support if broken down). Based on all these uncertainties are there any organized "Touring Companies" you can recommend in Thailand or NZ? Probably expensive, but I like the idea of be led by a local and enjoy a group ride. Sounds like you may have done something similar in NZ, but I suspect you shipped your bike. Nothing like the comfort and confidence of having your own bike when touring! :) PS. I just subscribed to your Channel. Richard

@@Richard-dh8ny to be honest Thailand is quite easy to travel and you can rent bikes in many places. Cost of rental can be very reasonable depending on the motorcycle you choose. I do some private tours and use the CRF 250 which is nice and easy and convenient and you can ride less travelled roads. There is a series that I did with Gilles and we rode a month together, just the 2 of us . You can contact me on my email address at mikeggs@msn.com. Regarding New Zealand I was on a Honda Sponsored trip for a week so I used a NC750X manual. Since that trip I became good friends with many Kiwis who have come many times to Thailand riding with me , many videos of our trips together.Tours there for sure are more expensive.i don't have any specific touring companies to recommend.

Agree 💯%

Thanks for watching, I did some training in Bangkok which was off-road called Dirt experience, and then I did some training in Yasothon, where I actually did a video and that was great fun. Ride safe
