I'm always amazed at how people can speed down a road in the woods without a thought to the reality of what happens when you hit a deer, or out there, bear.

I almost went the VW bus route for my travels across the US but thankfully changed my mind. I worked as a VW mechanic for couple years and learned through there that aircooled VWs are just not dependable, even if most parts are new! Not to mention they are very slow(Even with bigger engines) and get horrible MPG. They also have no AC which makes summer trips miserable. I ended up buying a 1993 Toyota mini RV and saw the country multiple times since 2020, with not ONE single issue! Anyways i digress, great video. No joke ive seen it atleast 20 times in the last 5 years!

You make it seem absolutely within reach. Thanks for making this.

Out of interest, what was the $7 part that was needed to fix the van? Mine has also become unable to shift gears and I suspect it could require the same part. For you was it the little nylon bushing at the front?

What an experience ! I think I’m going with a modern euro van though due to my disability and un able to work on an older van. I think there is something about the baywindows you just can’t replicate. I wish I could get one with a suburu motor and a ac that might be the ticket for me

My wife and I are about 15 years ahead of you and we still look back at those VW traveling years with utter joy….even the breakdowns at 2000 miles from home. :) (which we also had). Good on you guys for going for it. Those memories you’ll find to be special. Cheers

This video is pure poetry, a total antidote to one stinky aspect of motorcycle riding that's about pretense, machismo, and taking oneself way, WAY too seriously. You guys rock 100%. Long live nerds on two wheels who scream their appreciation for gorgeous nature to the top of their lungs !!!!!! And YES, I'm buying an XT225 after 30+ years of riding bikes which are too heavy for me and for the planet when you really think about it.

This video was the deal breaker for making me get an enduro again. When i checked the specs of the xt225 and realized it’s a 6 speed that weighs in at a whopping 250 wet! I was sold. I’ve had over 24 bikes over the last several years experimenting with different feels after riding for many years. My final collection is the first gen fz1 dual sport modded and an 07 xt225. Nothing beats a lightweight nimble dual sport bike, I wish there was a 250cc or 300cc shaft driven thumper, maybe someday someone will make it, but until then the xt225 will have its space in my garage.
