Great video.

Hello from Sweden & I like the channel nice and simple just the noise of the road , and I have a question , in Sweden when we meet other bikers coming the opposite way do you put you left hand out in a greeting. Thanks again

Traveled into Winnemucca several times for overnight stays via motorcycle. The town isn’t sketchy at all. Some great folks all friendly from my experience.

We need those back.

other than Knott's Berry Farm

That’s the beauty of an adv bike. A little gravel is no big deal.

I often use Gaia GPS to locate campsites in advance, but sometimes the sites turn out to be inappropriate or inaccessible. On this trip I used Gaia, my Garmin GPS, iOverlander, and OnX to locate places to camp with varied results. What do you use to find a camp site? In a future video, I'll look at the different ways to find a place for the night when you're far from home.

far less gas anxiety riding the BMW?

I go through here going North, no camping?

The gas station in Tatla is always closed. If you hit it open you won the lottery.

I've never tried Calimoto before, but liking how it directs you to twisties and non-boring highway!

THANKS 🤳

Those are sheep at the end, not goats. 😊

I’ve just moved to Roberts creek. Can’t wait to get into adventure biking again. Great info and fun videos to watch bro.

At that point, smart to call it and not overdo it. But $50!!!?? That's harsh.

I am also disgusted at how much they're charging just to pitch a tent around WA. I'd like to take a ride to Van. Isle. How much does it cost to camp in Canada? Cheers!!

We did the trip to Bella Coola this summer in my truck. It would have been informative if you stated what the grades are. The camera definitely flattens the hill and doesn’t look that impressive, which it definitely is.

I use Waze for planning and navigating. I haven't tried to use it for anything beyond that.

Thank you.

As much as I love my Honda CRF250L Rally I'm slowly tiring of the constant gear changing and wringing its neck off road. I'll keep if for my winter commuting and general riding. I'm going to get a Honda CRF450 RL for exploring and moto camping. It'll be nice to ride something that needs less gear shifting off road

One of my favorite rides. Glad I got to do it in '21 before the fire.

Googlemap is NOT suitable for motorcycle: - you cannot organise a summer-tour with different way-points during the winter if the tour goes trough alpine-passes, because they are closed for the winter saison. - the number of way-points are limited - the system doesn't go forward automatically if you reach the way-point I use kurviger

I use a Samsung Galaxy Active Tab 2 running the DMD2 app. I has it's own built in maps, or you can use any other mapping/navigation app since it's a Android device. The limitation with DMD2 is that it won't let you save it's maps to SD card, which poses a problem with map storage on my device. In the distant past I used Garmin Mapsource, which I found to work well when using the Garmin devices. I've started experimenting with Google Maps, which seems to work well. Just recently starting trip planning again, so seeking to learn what's available. I like the DMD2 dashboard and mapping, but may need to find newer hardware to run it on.

What do you think about exploring distance on a CRF250L? Is it up to the job? I know it worked for Itchy Boots, but, honestly, I'm packing a bit more weight before I add my luggage. Let me know in the comments if you think this bike is adequate for motocamping adventures.

Took my 1986 Honda XL250R out for a rip in the country today. It's still as fun as the day I got one way back in the 80s! 10.5 litre tank is a disadvantage, but 20.2 hp for a 38 year old bike of the same cc as yours, is sort of funny! Thanks for the fun videos!!

Awesome video. Awesome bike!

Inflatable sleep mat is absolutely essential.

The Harley app is great to fine the nearest place to repair it. 😂

Calimoto is way too expensive.

It would certainly help if you spoke a little slower. I really did enjoy the video. Thanks !

Basecamp, to dump to Garmin. I may use Google maps and Rever to help plan.

Hi from Sunny Malaysia, I have been using the paid version of Calimoto for about 2 years, I love it Just have fun with the select twisty random round trip, and off you go. Ridden about 15000 km with only a few bits that I did not like. Great for planning and navi. Enjoy

Riser?

Thanks. Can I suggest Kurviger? Not shure if it works in North America but if it does, it has some really interesting stuff.

Have a look at MRA My Route App ( similar to Calimoto, but better for longer trip plans

I tried Rêver a few years ago and ended being discouraged. I opted out of paying for it using the free version. Had a difficult time with the planning function but probably didn't use it enough. I just discovered calimoto. Was going to use it a few weeks ago but again, I could not figure out how to change the route to my desired roads. Again, not using the paid version. I plan to get a gps. I've had problems with both Google and Apple Maps in my car, can't even imagine what it would be like on my bike.

You missed the CRF450 from the list?

MapOut! $5

Very good rew of navigation alternative. Nice presentation too.

Thank you for a good video

Hey Peter, nice review, but the reason for using Calimoto is even better hahaha. Ride safe! :)

Cool was on part of this road last Saturday, i did the Chilko-Newton off hwy 20. Wife didn't like the sound or description of Scum lske rec site in the backroad mapbook so found alternative spot.

I suggest Scenic. Great app.

@3:29 in the video "No Through Road" signage had me thinking, is it really?😉. But without having a look (and enough gas) you would never really know.

Awesome ride ! Thanks for sharing 🎉

Does it require cell coverage? There are areas lacking such as Great Smoky Mountain National Park...where even GPS can be sporadic.

I re-entered m/c riding at 64. There needed to be more to life than work-chores-rest. It was perfect timing ( kids grown- wife had activities of her own). We are responsible for our own happiness. Quality of life should apply to good times more than end of life. Just took a 10 day/2,500 mile ride. camped 6 nights & stayed 2 single nights w/ a cousin (to/from destination), and two more nights w/ another cousin ( my turn around point). First solo trip. Saw family I likely wouldn't have seen if not part of a ride. Looked at each day as possibly the last time I would pass that way. Good news is I have great health-I have friends 10 years my elder that still ride. One third of out lives may be spent in retirement-but we don't know the quality of those years. People buy RV's to travel that never leave the driveway. NOW is the perfect time. I am NOT abandoning any of my responsibility to others, or to an employer.

I was working on a video about off-road navigation apps before this trip, but I didn't have time to finish it. I now have a lot more insight into what's important about planning a backcountry trip after this day's adventures. That video will probably be out in mid-August now, with substantial revisions. Let me know in the comments how you navigate backcountry routes.

Hey Peter, thank you for the honest review! We are glad to hear that you enjoy using calimoto 😍
