    Our daughter spent a winter season in Nelson. It has to be one of the best little towns in the world. We went for the skiing but the roads would be fantastic in summer. BC is so beautiful.

    I live in the Kootenays. I never get tired of riding the Kootenays. But I often head off to see family in Kelowna; sometimes through Beaverdell, and sometimes through Osoyoos.

      I'm looking to buy a CB500X as well. I currently own a 2017 Harley SGS used for touring but now looking for an adventure bike to add because the guys I ride with also have adventure bikes and do that as well. After researching, the CB500X is just an awesome bike with a great price point and will handle better if you go off road then those big 1200 series.

Like in Norway, you really get a feel for that pristine, untouched nature. I just love that! To take it in and take part of living an active life with a motorcycle, share experiences and just...ride on. Ride on.

No matter how many times I take my wife (Filipino) up to Canada, she's always ready for more. Banff, Kootenays, Whistler, Vancouver; some of the most beautiful rides and places on the planet. She's been itching to visit again... As soon as Covid is behind us, we'll be riding north!

    Nice! I've been obsessed with British Columbia for its nature and spectacular cities (my favourites are Vancouver and Victoria but I know there are many more. Nelson seems nice too). I'm really digging those road trips although I'm not a motorcycle guy. I'd probably do that in a car. The other day I watched a cross-country trip where these dudes travelled from Ontario to British Columbia in a rental car. They couldn't fly because of the pandemic. Canada's countryside is inspiring.

    Looks like good trip. Exploring geography of BC, Western 🇨🇦. The Honda 500 looks like smooth running bike (60+ mpg?),No issues off-road, other than slight change in sneakers.

    Hi Megan, Lisa and I ought to kidnap you with us to Banff in 2021. Your journey so far is incredible with so much scenery.
    Tips on off-roading:
    It is no race so just take your time at your own pace. Enjoy the surroundings.
    Steady and constant throttle. Not too slow off road as you want a constant speed if you get into sand or it gets a bit rocky. You've got this!
    Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.

    • @pwestjr

      Almost forgot the most important thing. See about taking a beginner off-road course. It is well worth every penny.

    • @MeganKaptein
      @MeganKaptein  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for the tips, Pete! I’m currently in Thailand and hope to take a course here!

    Great video Megan.My wife and I have ridden all Western Canada and about 15 States.
    Your ride is one of the most scenic for sure. You must take a ride through Utah as there is so much amazing scenery there.

    • @MeganKaptein
      @MeganKaptein  4 года назад

      Ohh yes, that’s on the bucket list! That’s wonderful that you two got to share so many riding memories together.

    I’ve been to Toronto 3 or 4 times recently on business which are my only trips to Canada (I’m a 50 something, S1000XR riding bloke from England).
    The thing that I find most striking is that everything is so beautiful in Canada. If I knew this 30 odd years ago I’d have bought a one way ticket....

    • @MeganKaptein
      @MeganKaptein  4 года назад

      It is indeed a beautiful country! Even nicer out west than Toronto if I may say so 😉
