Enjoying the tour. I looked up the Cloncurry River and according to wiki it is 900km long, so where was it hiding to be only discovered in 1961? Hi from NZ, Anthony

Prior to covid I had Japan trip planned on a bike and then everything went to peanut butter. So happy to have found your channel really excited to go through your episodes. I travel all the time on my bike through USA. My best defender against cold is good separates rain suit. Easy to put on easy to take off. I have gore tex gear and it does not stop the wind. I've ridden in low 30s for hours on end. Keep up the great work.

Brutal weather. I hope I don't run into any monsoons or heavy rains this coming August for my 4 day motorcycle trip. It is one thing to be rainy, a whole different story with rain and cold. Makes those days not so pleasant of a ride, and you can't even enjoy the landscapes, worrying the whole time about your safety on 2 wheels and the elements.

@mcjourneys1031 2 ай бұрын

The weather was harsh but the ride was thrilling. Safety was a big consideration and I put a lot of trust in the bike. All the best on your trip in August. Should be amazing weather for you. Enjoy.

@@mcjourneys1031 You never know how the weather changes in rainy season in these countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, etc. One moment it is sunny next thing you know it pours for 10 minutes then it's done. Next day could be snow and sleet, and day after that could be blistering heat wave. I have my fingers crossed as RushCorp does not give rainchecks or refunds.

Japan is so cute and clean. Everything is so well-kept compared to Vietnam. Clean streets, paved roads, not much litter and garbage at all. Can't wait to do my solo trip in August and September 2024! RushCorp NinjaTours here I come! Big like and thank you again.

@@mcjourneys1031 I saw you did that Vietnam North to South trip. It was probably much cheaper than Japan but the quality (especially hospitality) in Japan is so much more refined. For Vietnam, you have to do the Ha Giang Loop! Especially if you have an IDP and Motorcycle license, which I am sure you have. I have done the Ha Giang Loop and will be doing it again (offroad version this August) and then to Japan with RushCorp/Ninja Tours. Be safe and happy travels!

This a prepared self guided tour, a package with a set price which included bike hire, accommodation and Satnav with routes and included some insurance. Additional waiver insurance was also paid. altogether, approx A$11,500 Hope this helps. All the best.

@donnguyen8443 4 ай бұрын

@@mcjourneys1031 $11,500 AUD is about $7,500 USD. And this price is for 14 days of riding (i'm assuming) which works out to be about $820 AUD or $535 USD per day for the bike hire/rental, accommodation, and self-guiding SATNavigation. This is very affordable for Japan standards which is traditionally very expensive. Other bike rental places can charge about $250 USD per day just for the bike hire! Did your price include meals and for how many days was that $11,500 AUD for? Thanks in advance.

Is there a part 2 or 3 to this? I am contemplating doing a solo self-guided motorcycle tour of Japan for 14 days since I'm getting old and need to do this before health and old age kicks in where in a few years I might not be physically able anymore. Plus, USD is strong against the yen right now so it makes Japan less expensive. Did Vietnam already, and half of Thailand. That leaves Laos and Cambodia. But Japan is next due to favorable exchange rates! Nice video. Very informative.

The worse is when you are drenched wet and riding in cooler areas which along with the wind chill factor of motorbiking, just makes it miserable. But i guess thats all part of motorcycling adventures!
