Cafe Racer Moto Camping (Royal Enfield Continental GT)

Me and Jobu load up the Long Ride luggage set up and head out on the Continental GT to to test my traveling load out.

Good to see Jobu back in action. Lets face it.. he is the brains of this outfit! 😉

[@UncleVoodoo]

I actually had Jobu make that same joke but that was one of many segments that got edited out. I had been trying to come up with a way to get him in the videos more, and while editing the Bigfoot cameo it donned on me that I could do something similar with Jobu and have him pop in and out with commentary and smart assed comments.

Happy to see you with full face helmet. The bell bullit is fantastic. I have one of my own thats sadly due to replacement after being 6 years old.

[@UncleVoodoo]

I’m actually not very happy with the Bullit. The looks are great, the construction is so-so, but it’s tremendously noisy. The visor whistles at an annoying level and the vents produce a sound like tire roar from an off roader. Bike style seems to play a roll as I can change my head angle and amount/volume of the noise changes, so I assuming that wearing it on a bike with a riding position with less forward lean wouldn’t result in the noise I’m getting. I’m making a few modifications to address my issues.

I am really enjoying your channel. Lots of good info and hilarious! Your sidekick is awesome!

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks! I'd been trying to think of a way to get him more screen time and having him pop in and out with his opinions was an idea I had while editing this video. Glad to see it's being well received. Thanks for watching.

[@KGraham-uy8mb]

Great videography! Enjoy the tips and recommendations. Jobu is hilarious.

[@UncleVoodoo]

Jobu has been trying to renegotiate his contract so he gets more screen time :)

[@ugoscrambler7505]

Enjoying your videos since years. I do also solo camping trips with my Bonneville here in Europe. Have a save ride. Greetings from Germany

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks for watching! There is just something about camping off your bike that cant be replaced by getting a hotel room for a night. Yeah it's convenient but not the kind of thing memories are made of.

[@paulowens6004]

Really enjoy your videos. Greetings from Northern Ireland. 🇬🇧

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks for watching!

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Good job. You pretty well covered a good mode of travel camping. A couple good tips I'll adopt. Thx.

[@UncleVoodoo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@edjones2110]

You gonna use the bug repellent on Jabo . Nice video as always voodoo . Bigfoot is still stalking you .

[@UncleVoodoo]

Jobu keeps telling me he sees Bigfoot but I never get to see one until Im editing!

[@0HARE]

Yep, this was inspirational. I have the lightweight backpacking gear. I have three excellent motorcycles to use. Down here In Texas, we’ll truck the bikes down to Big Bend, then go moto-camping in the desert, or the high Chisos Mountains. Quite a bit different from your temperate rainforest climate. Come join us if you can. First weekend in November every year.

[@TheCoopdway]

A couple of new ideas, the reason I watch yours and others’. There are variations of course but my trips break down into a few categories too. No tent, tent, tent with food, the Full Deal. I do a bunch of regional Brand rallies, much if not most food provided. I call those tent sleeping, not camping….the variety and gear to cover it all makes the fun.

[@UncleVoodoo]

Im really liking this compact setup, its so nice to load it up and still be able to just swing a leg over it!

[@tanker2051]

I just bought a 2023 Road King when I blew my right knee out, surgery then blew my left knee out, surgery. See the doc tomorrow so maybe I can get back to riding.I also have a 2021 Honda Monkey. I’m a retired 28 year Army vet. Ride safe brother.

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Great to see you out and enjoying the great outdoors. Looked smooth to me. I would look up items as they appeared, and holy cow, the prices are going up on products.😅

[@UncleVoodoo]

Ive had most of this stuff for many years... definitely more expensive now.

[@peterrussell798]

Love the poncho hooch.

[@UncleVoodoo]

I used that exclusively in the military and if it weren't for ticks Id use it more, its packing size / weight smokes the tent setup.

[@robedmunds7163]

KZbin stopped alerting me to your new content. Nice to be back

[@UncleVoodoo]

well welcome back, I just returned from filming the next 4 videos... so you'll definitely have some things coming up to watch!

[@anthonyintrieri3329]

I've found AVG to be one of the quietest helmets. Don't need earplugs with mine. 😎they also don't have cut- outs for speakers which helps.

[@OnlyRoyalEnfieldFans]

Uncle, another good video bro 😎

[@UncleVoodoo]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@marioruiz5313]

Hi Uncle V... next time you camp, I recommend a Glock 21 or a .50 GI converter kit... just in case 😆 Excellent video as you have already accustomed us 💯

[@UncleVoodoo]

Ive got a .460 kit in my 1911, I take that if I go deep into the forest.

[@markbain3]

Your being stalked by a 7 foot critter,your gonna need a bigger critter repellant😂...I always found carrying some paracord came in handy.Looking forward to seeing more of your travels.

[@UncleVoodoo]

That's one sneaky critter, I never get to see it until Im editing!

[@Yazeed_Slami]

Big foot passing by cut me 💀💀 , the water bottle toy trick for the filter is f clever

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks! I was looking at the Sawyer filters on Amazon.. and they actually sell this piece now so you don't have to search for the toy now. I was 10 years ahead of them!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Jobu, you're a real character.! lol

[@UncleVoodoo]

He's been bugging to get him more screen time!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@UncleVoodoo It’s a good thing you had him along then. You don’t want to deal with his agent. 😬 😂

[@princephilips1387]

Hey! Enjoy your tips and recommendations! Just curious, at 24:36 your engine casings have lost their shine!! how often do you buff them out? Will you wait for the rainy season to be over? Please suggest!!

[@UncleVoodoo]

actually they're fine, you're seeing kind of an illusion as they're misted up from the damp air while engine is cold. Look at the fuel tank and you can see the condensation of the bottom 2-3 inches of it as well.

[@EDCtexan]

Yup you were military i so would do the same test runs

[@TwoWheelsBackroads]

Camping with Big Foot.

[@UncleVoodoo]

somebody's got to do it!

[@JDJ473]

Are we just gonna pretend we didn’t see a Freakin’ Samsquamch at 12:40 ?!?!?!

[@walterwhite3189]

These videos making me want to get a gt650. But im a stupid mid 20s man. And i want that big speed

[@UncleVoodoo]

I was the same way when I was younger, had to experience all the power and what not- this is the kind of bike you get when you've been there and done that..... and you're done messing about. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCoopdway]

You’ll get over that….don’t wait too long

[@MichaelMassie]

RE 650 is a great starter bike. Get one and you can always upgrade later… or realize you don’t need a liter bike to have fun riding.

[@peterrussell798]

More fun to ride a slow bike fast.

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

More often than not, the depth of your pocket determines the size of your Gun. ( Bike ). Individuals on a budget may actually want the 900 or 1200cc but do they need it or can they afford it. Insurance rates are changing nationwide, and a motorcycle is cheaper to run than a car.

[@EDCtexan]

What helmet is that I was hoping there was a link

[@UncleVoodoo]

It's a Bell Bullet, looks cool but it's annoyingly loud.
