Not gonna lie, I shed a little tear when you said goodbye to your dad. With this level of filming and editing you will have a great RUclips future ahead. Stay safe and enjoy the ride. Can't wait for the next videos!
Tip for backroad travel. When passing a gas station like Tipella in the middle of nowhere always top up. You never know if you will get 95% of the way to your next gas and get turned around. Always prepare for the unexpected.
The obstacles you will face are going to be daunting. I would say this trip is more mental then physical. My advice to you obey your instincts always !!! Don't push when mother nature rears its ugly head be patient be smart make calculated decisions and you will succeed ! God speed brother !
I know this isn't BCpov, but I'm so happy to follow you on this new adventure. So exciting for you and I really look forward to see how things go! I'm glad there are more episodes to watch for me still - Binge watching warning! 😀 Safe travels, Eric!
Yeah just came to this channel earlier today from his announcement vid on the old channel. Allllmost all caught up already, haha! Eric is a great storyteller.
new subscriber. I don't miss an episode of Noraly, and looking forward to watching your adventures. The older you get, the more you realize part of life is about creating memories. You go out there and make them.
@@SHOVELCARD Itchy Boots, Noraly, is one of my favorites. I also follow Charly Sinewan, Pablo Imhoff, Two Wheels Three Sheets and Sebastian Villanueva.
Tip: to mount and dismount the bike when loaded. With the bike on the kick stand step up on the foot peg and throw your leg over. Stand up on the foot pegs and dismount from there.😎
LOL. I did a peg mount at my local Honda dealership, and the fat old guy in the showroom about had a heart attack. I told him he needed to take a chill pill, and that it was an acceptable way to mount a bike. As to using it with a loaded bike, with a top box especially, you would have to be pretty limber to get your let to swing up and over the top box. Pavlin from Motorcycle Adventures also sticks his leg up over the seat, same as Noraly.
I have travelled many miles in europe/ north Africa by motorcycle Water is your best friend Its more important than petrol Your body will thank you, keep it hydrated Strap a bottle on your bike somewhere Watching your progress and wishing you well Shout if you need anything I am.in the UK
im with you bro all the way ive always thought you were the most relatable mountain biker sensible not just a maniac doing the gnarliest stuff possible
Safe travel man , so happy for you , i been dreaming for a long time to do world travel on a Motorcycle . Recently started to pass my license and soon to buy a motorcycle , cant wait for that excitement of first day travel . Will watch your videos . Hi from Ireland
hi Eric, so instead of taking yoga you can try practicing mounting from the right side of the bike, it’s easier on a bike that’s loaded on the rear… Otherwise I’m glad I caught you at the start of your adventure, can’t wait to see what awaits you.
So exciting to follow you on this adventure, Eric! I loved the show The Long Way Round as well so super stoked to see how this goes. Glad you got your drone back those drone shots were AMAZING!
Nice to stumble across your videos. One tip when loaded with panniers and rear box its hard to get on - easiest is while bike is on stand place left foot on left peg and stand up and then swing / slide you right leg over as you are up that extra height you clear everything, same for hopping off the bike just do the reverse, saves stretching your hamstring and putting dirty boots across your seat. i really like the look of your adventure kit you added and the fact there is someone designing that full kit for the KLX's is fantastic. I see your reasoning re. bike weight, i have a setup KLR650 and nudging 220kg id say and maybe 240 when loaded up. Safe travels
Hey! I pretty much never comment on videos, but just wanted to let you know that I'm really happy that I stumbled upon your channel. There's something really calming about your videos. I think I'll watch the entire series, best of luck to you.
I was fortunate enough to do the GDT a few years ago and one thing I learnt... Never pass up a gas station. If you have room for fuel, fill up. Good luck and safe travels.
Excitement and anxiety...always at the start of the trip! Take it slow and easy, enjoy the company and hospitality of people you meet along the way. I'm impressed you've taken the challenge of filming it all. I just keep a written log.
I want to do a similar kind of trek. Just got into riding a couple years ago, have an NC700X that's pretty old but gets everywhere. This last summer I did a 13400km trip from Ontario through Texas then BC and back; it was epic but I don't have cameras yet - that's next up. I've done 70,000km in my first three years and it's amazing. God I miss BC!!! I had to move to Ontario for a job but BC is so much nicer. I did a pass near Radium that was just amazing but blew through some bearings the next morning - make sure you have some spares and have a camp hammer in your toolkit. I am so jealous :) Let me know if you're in the Toronto area.
Don’t worry about taking inspiration from other travelers. Very few people get to do what you’re doing and your adventure will be unique no matter what. I’m excited to see how this turns out for you. Good luck!
Brother, the best of luck to you. If you go to Europe make sure to go by Portugal. If I am not traveling around I will be glad to find you nice places to stay.
Ha ha, as soon as the drone cut around that bank, it was my first thought. Lucky & lesson learnt, likely not the last. But great start, my friend, & some really nice footage in all. If you keep doing tough tracks, a 44 or 46 tooth rear sprocket might be worth a go. Standard is 14/42. I settled on a 15/47 which was tad lower than standard, but a good compromise as I never travel much above 95kph
Great episode Eric!! Looks like you’re getting your groove. Bike looks sharp!! Hoping you’ll do a video on all your electronics, mounts and fancy doodads. Buy the look of your set up and videos you have a great system. It would be great to hear about your tablet. What maps are you running. I’ve used Maps me for several trips. What do you like best! Great job on including the lost signal and height settings on your drone! That is something unique that may people new to drones may not know. I’ll bet you saved someone some heart ache. Great stuff. Ride safe. Looking for to the next episode!
On a great adventure. There will be hard times and good times. Never give up. Have a great time though. Good luck in Alaska and keep warm. I will keep my eye on you.
Awesome! I've bike packed that route between Harrison and Pemberton before, starting on the Pemberton side. I've had it in mind as one of the first trips I want to do on my motorcycle. Such a beautiful ride, but lots of steep hills that were pretty brutal on a bicycle. Our GPS also routed us through that first nations town and we stopped for some cold drinks, it was amazing. They actually let us stay at the hotsprings for free because they needed a license plate number to charge us and there was nothing to write down haha.
Whoo Hoo, way to go Eric, let's Ride.🇦🇺🤘love the blow up globe, could u show us all ur camping gear and stuff. What a magic spot, that would be my first camp fr sure.😎 Eric this is ur life, ur right it's about balance, uv gotta do what's good for u ok.
New sub from Malaysia! Ive been following Itchy Boots for years and delighted to have found your channel. Look forward to your coming adventures and have a safe & fun journey!
Good luck on your adventure Eric. I know it’s good to take inspiration and learn from others, but you do you! RUclips is full of channels that have dramatic film footage and epic drone cinematography, but I think more than ever before, the authenticity is what’s important. I hope the channel grows to help you on your trip, I followed Noraly when she started out, and another motorcycle adventurer Joe Ryan when he started out, so I hope to be a good omen for you too. May be I’ll catch you if you get to the UK!! Richard.
Look forward to the adventure. There is dinner bed and breakfast for you in Brno Czechia if you pas through here. Would recommend it beatufull country. Good luck and God speed.
Brother your channel will be big very soon watched all the episodes .will be happy to see you when you enter India .. Your exit video by your dad is great . Watching from India ( Assam ) Silchar .
A great start to your trip I’m going to enjoy following your journey. It’s 16 years since I spent some time in BC, I must go back again sometime. Until then I will enjoy exploring Europe on my motorcycles from my home in SW France. Safe travels.
I am accidentally bumped on your channel. I wish you good luck on the trip. I am sure you’re going to have great memories. A month a go I went to Alaska and I still have a lot of emotions shaking me after this trip. By the way you tackled very well “lake” road. I am curious what is you background, your ride is good and you filming is really nice.
I’m very impressed and a bit jealous. I just learned how to ride and bought a dual sport. I have no plans to ride around the world but just learning to ride off road was a big deal for me. I can’t wait to see your adventure.
@@Una_MotoI used to race motocross and later moved to mountain bikes. You’d be surprised at some of the skills that transcend both. You’re a good mountain biker from what I’ve seen on your other channel so I think you will be a quick study. Good luck.
Outstanding! Just watched all your videos. Looking forward to seeing this adventure unfold. Your MTB background has flattened the learning curve - nice work with the ascent/descent to the lake.
I started watching the first video, and now i'm hooked. I wonder,since you had to do your road test, does that mean you are new to mootorbike riding? Grts Danny Btw great video.✌
When you get to New Zealand, come and stay a night! I've done some big rides in Australia. You'll probably love the outback. We have some great hot springs here too 😁
Just found your channel, what a journey you are into. Absolutely awesome to hang out here from the beginning. Have a wonderful day, greetings from Sweden :)
@@Una_Moto yes i did... i`m also looking for a lighter adventure/dualsport bike with a rally tower.. it`s extremly sad that we have less models i europe compares to U.S and Canada..
@@zeddo321 A lightweight can be a Kawasaki KLX 250 - add the conversion kit and if needed a big bore 300cc and you have a long service interval ,18L, 140kg lightweight adventure motorcycle.. :) still more or less the same as the latest dualsport 300 KLX from Kawasaki.
Jumping on a leg while throwing the other over the seat should help getting into it :) Good luck with your adventure! I will be following. And a nice piece of a rally kit. Spot on!
When the floor is rigid enough I just get on the bike like you would get on a horse (without the rotation for sure): Grab the handle, but the left foot on the peg and then swing the right foot over.

Super interested to see how this goes. Great job on the first episode setting off!
Thanks Chase! Stoked you're here!
Not gonna lie, I shed a little tear when you said goodbye to your dad.
With this level of filming and editing you will have a great RUclips future ahead. Stay safe and enjoy the ride. Can't wait for the next videos!
@sjoerdschenk same. I have 4 sons and it made me reflect on times when I've left them (or vice-versa), and the last time I left my dad...

Watching Itchy boots, I can't argue here experience. But it drives me nuts watching her mount and dismount a loaded bike.
I was scrolling wondering if I was going to have to give this tip and comment

Surprised to see you here on a motorcycle as I am familiar with you with mountain bikes. I too have taken on the hobby of motorcycling as well.
I have travelled many miles in europe/ north Africa by motorcycle
Water is your best friend
Its more important than petrol
Your body will thank you, keep it hydrated
Strap a bottle on your bike somewhere
Watching your progress and wishing you well
Shout if you need anything

a little advice when you are crossing difficult terrain, it is best to stand on your feet in those moments, good luck :)
I’m quickly leading that, getting more and more comfortable with it!
Just wanted to comment as a record that i was here from the start, i know you got this, looking forward to binge watching this

That's a great area. I've ridden around there myself, gorgeous!
I hope you have a fantastic journey. Enjoy the ride and stay safe

Best of luck mate, I have everything crossed for you. You are going to have a crazy and amazing journey....
Good luck for the epic trip. Don't cut your hair or beard till you reach NZ! Epic beard and hair to end an epic journey!

A lightweight can be a Kawasaki KLX 250 - add the conversion kit and if needed a big bore 300cc and you have a long service interval ,18L, 140kg lightweight adventure motorcycle.. :) still more or less the same as the latest dualsport 300 KLX from Kawasaki.
