Cool, thanks William. Riding through the redwood forest looks inviting but the west coastal road of the USA are just spectacular. I have driven the coastline from San Francisco to LAX a few times but never had the pleasure of doing it by bike.
omg, me in a GS & my buddy in a AfricaT where southbound on Usal rd when you were riding north. Im sorry i didnt even recognize you, i was too busy concentrating on riding, that was our first time on Usal, it was challenging for me in a big bike. my buddy just said you where the one heading north passed us. wish I met you. take care and ride safe!
awesome video, audio levels could be better though, keep having to turn up the volume to hear your voice and down for the loud music. Otherwise great, can't wait to see more!
Glad to see you back. Discovered your videos right at the beginning of Covid and now have 8k miles on my 2017 AT. Just finished Mexican border to Canadian border up the west coast a few months ago.
Hey Billy! 😀✌️ So good to see you back on two wheels! You look great!👍 The Africa Twin got some new Equipment for testing! Great to participate! 👍 Have fun on your Trip! Take care man! 🍀🙏🍀 Best whishes from Germany!
Yeah I get you on the AK thing, I planned to go there on my 2017 AT in 2018 but I fell off in the dirt and cracked two ribs just 30 days before my departure.....haven't got it all together for a redux. I had a cool route planned out too. Good luck to ya!
First 2 second of your video I give a like. Thats how much I have been waiting for your update friend. I will be getting Africa twin coz of your adventure and Honda’s reliability. Please continue your journeys. Thank you
I've fought fire up around Murder Mountain (as well as many other places). I can assure you that no one is going to hear you scream! BTW, you went through my neck of the woods around 2:15! I'm just west of Two Rock and ride Hwy 1 a bit in Marin and Sonoma counties. Definitely happy places for me.
Traded my Africa Twin DCT in on a Goldwing DCT but still enjoy your videos and following along on your adventures. Would love to do that same ride other than the little bit of dirt around the 7:00 minute mark. Really gorgeous scenery and some great looking roads!
@@dabike no I get it, was just wondering, do you notice any difference in the DCT functionality between the two? Would the goldwing be smoother due to being a heavier bike? What’s your opinion, seeing you’ve had both?
@@trucker-d4161 DCT functionality pretty much the same. Phenomenal on both bikes. Africa Twin is a tall bike. I knew I would never go off road so the Goldwing, which is lower, more comfortable and more powerful, was the better choice for me. Now if I could have had 2 bikes, maybe I'd keep the Africa Twin. But might also look at the BMW GS. My neighbor has one and it is a great looking bike as well. But if I can only have one, the Goldwing DCT is my easy favorite.
I just got my lone rider bags, I like them better , really looked at mosk Moto hard to, was almost leading that way until lone rider now cam out with a locking and quick detach on their bags that the didn’t have before. Also bought their tent with the garage in it, absolutely quality stuff. I think most Moto is top stuff also. I have never seen you do chain maintenance, while on the road, have I missed that? Almost leaning towards a supere tenere, just to eliminate the chain thing.
Outstanding scenery mate, good to see you back. Keen to see how that Mosko gear goes, they look the goods! I've spent the last few days binging on your channel. Just advertised the GS with the intent on getting an AT. Can't wait to see what you come up with on the channel. Did you make it to Australia? I'm still looking for that video.
Hey man, I have been seriously considering a DCT Africa Twin but I have never owned a BIG HEAVY bike. I'm only 5'8"/160 and ride a 250 dual sport mostly off road. Do you ride this off road in harder dirt sections, and if so do you feel pretty comfortable on most terrain? Sorry I don't really know your back story and if your, like me, an average gumby or some Graham Jarvis mad skill dude. Thx
@@WilliamGloege that's such a beautiful area. About 10 years ago I actually drove a BMW 335i coupe from Shelter Cove through Honeydew not knowing how rugged it was for that little car haha Glad to see you getting out and enjoying the bike again. Hope your trip to Alaska is a great one. If you need a place to stay north of Seattle, we've got plenty of space for camping.
It looks like a Seat Concepts seat. Was looking at them myself. But think I'm going to stick with the original, and get a gel seat insert off of Amazon. Cheaper option.
@@chrissandy9935 Yep. It's 2cm thick. Was like $34 on Amazon. Just ordered it. I'm gonna give it a try. Plenty of vids on here on how to cut the foam. Been looking at all the aftermarket seats for awhile. Some are really pricey. Was gonna go with the SC seat, but they are saying it's a 10 week production timeline. I'll give the gel a try for now.
These videos have such a nice vibe and they makes me happy
wow William is back really great to see you.
That Towlie really tied the Vlog together. Thanks!
George , Hopefully more videos from you. Missed your adventures. Lane splitting is crazy
Good to seeyou back!! I LOVE my Mosko bags! Mine are on my Tiger 800.

First rate stuff, Bill.
Glad to tag along for the adventures again here. Ride safe, be careful lane-splitting, EVERYONE IS HIGH NOW!

Hi William, nice to see you back on the trusty africa twin, as always music is brilliant with the drone images. Hello from Ireland.

You're back ya legend.... Great Stuff
Rode the Lost Coast this summer as part of a 12500 mile ride on my 1250 GS. I rode my AT to AK in 2018. Always enjoy your videos!
We just entered lockdown so it’s nice to see someone out and about!
Inew setup looks cool!

How come! Just wondering, I have a goldwing, thinking of trading my vstrom foe AT
@@trucker-d4161 I only want 1 bike. The GW just fits my needs better. Both great bikes.

As someone in Portland, it's exciting to hear you say Oregon! Let us know if you plan to be in the area.
Glad to see you back on the road 🙌
About time Billy 😉👊🏻

"Here's the river, there's reggae over there"
Glad to see your back posting bro keep them coming foshow !! Been waiting forever lol
"I hope their not high & driving" ROFL 🤣
Seems like i was the 1st one to comment a video from you, it's been a long time since yoy're not on the road. Welcome back!
You are... you were.. thanks for watching.
I am number three!
Did it pass the test? Looking forward to watching the Alaska vids.
Glad your out there doing your thang ! As you american chaps say your proof you cant keep an old hippy down ha ha be safe young sir from blighty 🌈

Assuming the bags are waterproof? They certainly look nice.
.... I miss my Africa Queen. love the weeds you have there,, lol.... 'smoking dude'.
Where did you stay in Humboldt County?
Did you find it on IOverlander?
Good to see you back!!
720p?... well more videos to come!
Really missed your updates. What have you been up to, The last year?
The arrow is pointing to the wrong direction!!! :D Must be fixed asap or the world will end in the wrong way :D

I have a goldwing and a vstrom, which is very comparable do the AT, in weight, and I think it’s light as hell, so you’ll get used to it.
Longtime no see ya
I'm sure you've explained this - Why the arrow on the windshield?
👍
Are you still running tubed tires?
Did I spy with my little eye the switchbacks that lead into the micro town of Honeydew, CA?
Yessir

How many miles does the AT have on it now.
please next time 1080p in resolution
how many km is the bike?🙂
If you’re rolling through Seattle hmu
HHmmm?? a little rusty I think...?
What seat you using? Is it more comfortable than the original?
It is not more comfortable than the original, so no point in mentioning which one
It looks like a Seat Concepts seat. Was looking at them myself. But think I'm going to stick with the original, and get a gel seat insert off of Amazon. Cheaper option.
@@jimotoadv1194 is that the insert that you cut and insert into the foam?

@@jimotoadv1194 sounds good think I will do the same 🤟
It's that marijuana? It's good for health but it's illegal there?
May I have your email please, I would like to provide you some auto products for review?
