10:34 Wind Rider Seat covers on sale for the next 48 hours (9/29). 50% off and they are kicking in another code for an additional 15% off. I just ordered the covers for my GoldWing. Less than $90 for the entire order

$160 bucks an hour labor cost is precisely why most people are selling their bikes. Harley labor cost is around $175 an hour.

@@LivingOffTheSlab I’ll look for that one. My best gal has taken a liking to it and the local dealer has a new ‘23. Test ride this week. She rode a 900 Tiger a few yrs ago. I think the deal breaker for her was tubed tires. That, and she liked the GS 800 she’s on low end torque better.

I know this video posted late last night, here on the East coast but I'm watching on Sunday morning while eating my breakfast and, lo and behold, I'm having breakfast with Craig right at the start. A satisfying meal and hot cup of coffee goes a long way after the cold and wet. Great segment of your trip, albeit just a tad moist. The Prince Rupert rest day seemed great and that scenery around Bell 2 was very nice even with the weather. Best wishes to the kid on the new Himalayan. I hope he let's you know what he decided to do with his trip and what he thought of the RE.

I am 78, originally from the UK, and took up motorcycle biking about six and half years ago. I bought a Kawasaki Versys 300X. I wanted to explore the length and breadth of Thailand, my home for the last 24years. The first 15 years I lived on a large tourist island in the south, I had a boat, enjoyed cruising and racing it, but after a few years and enjoying winning a few races began to find it was too much of a handful. We moved to the NE, my wife’s home village, but I needed to do something, that’s where the idea of biking came in. Probably 95% I ride alone, but have done some quite long trips together with some club buddies to visit our next door neighbours. Should add while on the island I did have a small scooter, it was the easiest way to get around a busy tourist island. So not a complete novice. I also bought a Kawasaki S, a 650 cruiser, but the Thai roads make this hard work. The small Adventure bike with its more forgiving long travel suspension is much better. High speeds are not possible so the 300cc mostly enough. Over 100,000kms in about six years plus 30,000 on the Vulcan have been enjoyed. Several visits to Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia, all done on the Versys, all with groups. This November we do a circular ride of 20days taking in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, probably about 4000kms by the time I get home. Thanks for posting your account, always interesting to hear other peoples experiences. When I first bought the Versys I did a two month 10,000kms ride taking in the northern most tip of Thailand to the Golden Triangle, then all the way to the south to the Malaysian border, stopping by my old tourist island on the way up and again on the way down to catch up with old friends, also my son and family come down from China to stay on the island, it was Christmas and I met his new Chinese wife and family who were also there for the Chinese NY. A great adventure. We have a small rice farm and the wife was happy to stay home taking care of it. She has only once come on the Vulcan on a day visit to the Mekong, which she said she enjoyed but has never shown any more interest in doing it again. Which is happy with me as it gives me the freedom to continue exploring Thailand and doing the occasional meeting with our local riders group. In another week we have our Autumn meet then ride together to visit our local charity, a teem of guys who make handicap riders mobile with specially adapted bikes and three wheelers. Ride safe and enjoy the freedom.

Falling asleep, if I get a long long boring straight I start to doze off, I remember a couple years ago when we were on the way back from Vietnam crossing Laos, I kept waking up on the wrong side of the road. I pulled over to the correct side of the road, stopped washed my face and walked around, my buddy(who has a twin 300 same as mine) realising I was missing came back to see what happened. We were crossing Laos in one day so the pace was quite hot. He admitted he was also feeling a bit dozy so it paid off for both of us. The rest of the team had actually stopped a little further on so they also had a break. We had a 4x4 with us carrying energy food and water which was behind me and came over to check all was ok. I think there was general agreement amongst everyone to increase the stops and maybe slow the pace slightly. Anyway we all safely arrived at the nights stop, ready to cross the border back into Thailand the next morning.

I also am 70, will be 71 in a couple of months. Also rode for well over 50 years, and only had a couple of minor spills. But my left hip is really bad now, my night vision is terrible, and I see the increased risk to continue riding clearly. Electronic device distraction is a new reality, and has really increased the accident risk. I never thought I would reach this point, but when I get on either of my two bikes, I find myself enjoying it much less than I used to, and will likely sell my heavyweights for a possible 300cc Vespa, as my last 2 wheel vehicle.

Great insights and reasons to mold the process for you, not the audience. IF you don’t have fun doing it, we won’t have fun watching it. The singular Insta360 setup is the best way to go. I absolutely agree there. Too much gear, taking too much time to setup, does not contribute to having fun. For me, and why I haven’t started uploading yet: I haven’t figured out how to tell a story yet, followed by always having helmet audio issues, compounded by always being in a rush.
