A fully loaded bike, always look gorgeous!!!!!!!! "the two of you" will enjoy many more rides, campings and experiences on the road... congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
Javier Lobo ive always thought the same😁 ,they're nice looking with the "cloths off", but a lash of luggage strapped on and all set for adventure is even better
Thanks for the nice vid. I grew up in Calgary and I know that area well. Highway 93/95 is a great road. Currently I live in Japan and hope to one day get a VStrom, although in the meantime my Transalp 400 is serving me quite well.
Hi, I have just returned from a 2 month 21,500km (6 states + 9 provinces including the Trans Labrador Highway) road trip on my 2015XT. Went through 2 sets of tires (Heidenau K60 and Conti TKC 70). 35,000 km absolutely trouble free kms so far. My tenth bike, and I think my favourite to date. Glad to see someone else having a blast on this great motorcycle. One recommendation, use Amsoil Synthetic oil (10w-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle oil), it is wet clutch approved, and designed for engines that share oil with a gearbox.
K60 is longer lasting, but noisier on the road. No complaints, though, and would use them again. TKC 70 is a slightly better road tire, though it did get me through the Trans Labrador highway. Longevity = K60 Civility = TKC70
You are lucky to live in an Area that is so beautiful. I live in Wisconsin and there isn't a gravel road within 50 miles of my house. I love the videos keep up the good work.
I gotta know...what Rum did you end up getting. Any time I’m out west I can’t help but get some Bearface Whisky to enjoy in the mountain air. (excellent Canadian whisky if I do say so.) Sadly, no mountains here in Ontario.
Kitecraft thanks for posting. Living vicariously is so much safer these days. And Chic Choc spiced rum (all Canadian product) is a nice treat if you’re into that. Made with botanicals from northern Quebec. Now I’ll go watch some more of your vids! Thanks
what campground were you in .... I have a 2013 charcoal and live in Calgary... do runs to Eureka and Libby etc .. buddy with an acreage Elko which we use as a start point
when you bought your bike it came with the topcase ? i have a 2013 V-strom 650 adventure my luggage rack is similar to you and i would like to buy a Trax Alu-box topcase. I'm wondering if i can get the little pieces that hold the case.
Hi KC, thanks for the video. I didn't realise your V's a charcoal one, same as mine; very nice. I like your tent, what brand is it? Where'd you get it? It looks like a good size, mine's kinda small. Have fun camping in the BC mountains mate, I'm heading off on a trip out into the desert in a few weeks, in outback Australia.
Hi. The tent is form McKinley and is called the Kluane 3. It's technically a 3 person tent, but you better be really good friends with 2 other people. I picked it up on-sale for under $150 at Coast Mountain Sports. It's a cross-Canada chain of outdoor rec stores. The tent is a very good size for me when I go motorcycle camping. And it's quick and easy to setup/take-down. Outback Australia on a V-Strom would be an amazing trip. How long you going out for? And how many kilometers you going to travel? Cheers.
That should be a really great trip. I hope you enjoy it! I don't have any recommendations other than to use Google. I'm sure you'll be fine. Ride safe. Cheers.
Nice vid, like the way you have loaded the bike up! Have recently done my first camp on my 650xt but no panniers yet so had to ride with a backpack on :) vid on my channel if you're interested

You'd love my Northern Adventure videos then :)
Glad you only ran out of memory on the phone. I thought you’d been eaten by a grizzly. Great bike, lovely weather, beautiful country

Which tire did you like better?

Can you tell the difference in clutch slippage with this oil vs regular synthetic?
Great bike. Awesome country.
Great times; great bike! Nice job.
You are lucky to live in an Area that is so beautiful. I live in Wisconsin and there isn't a gravel road within 50 miles of my house. I love the videos keep up the good work.
looks so fun! i hope i can motivate myself to do this when i get my bike
love your vstrom updates great bike,im off to isle of wight next week on mine.love it!!!!
Thanks. Have a good trip. I'd love to visit the Island of Wight sometime.
Cheers.
What is the brand of the cases, I can't find a good one for my dl 1000
Looks like a great ride, thanks for sharing!

LOL. It was probably just Bacardi. Nothing special at all. Thanks for stopping by.

Your Suzuki dealer should have them, the Trax and Suzuki luggage are the same.

man... would've loved to see more of the site !! :)
Love my 650 xt 15000 miles not 2years old yet
Take a nap, not a bad idea! :)
What campground is that? I'm in Calgary and I'd love to ride out there and camp, it looks great!
It's called 'The Canyon RV Resort & Campground' in Radium. It was quite nice.
Nice packed bike..
When u camp. How do u prevent the bear at nite?
Nice bike
I am leaving on a trip in august 2017 from corpus christi tx to windsor, ontario Canada but how can i find safe places to camp?
That should be a really great trip. I hope you enjoy it!
I don't have any recommendations other than to use Google. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Ride safe.
Cheers.
Gilberto Lujano how was your trip.
I am from London Ontario. Thinking ride now to Houston

Sooo much gear! Nevertheless, have fun (DL1000 rider)
Great video,however I think I would have toasted the Chicken sandwiches.
LOL! Thanks!
how many miles is that?
Multiply by .6 for a quick estimate. 5,000km = 3,000 miles
Divide by 1.609. 1 Mile = 1000 paces of 5.28 feet or 1.609 metres. (Mille ~ 1000)
+Robert Nipp cool I'll remember that .thanks
100 km = 63 mles approximately.
