For those wondering, the cable park is a wakeboarding area where you get towed by a winch cable instead of a boat.

[@IslandADV]

I looked it up as soon as you mentioned it. That sounds like a heck of a good time man.

[@bryan.meijer]

Great video Mason, I miss those fuel prices😄

[@masonsadv]

You and me both!

[@zerotheklr650]

G'day guys. In Victoria, Australia we have wheat/grain silo artwork. It makes for a great vid and showcases the local communities faith in their home towns. I'm just a new adv person yet to pay off my 2022 klr650 adventure and get my Learners licence. But.....

[@dl3g3nd45]

Stay tuned.

[@brucegerken1063]

Cool having like minded people and friends

[@masonsadv]

Awesome Alain! Enjoy that 22 and ride safe once you get your learners :) Cheers!

[@jimsnider3971]

Thought you were talking about my GoldWing for a bit there, with the lounge chair descriptions.....LOL And I can say that I was very close to falling asleep once, on that same Wing, toward the end of a 1500 mile, 32 hour, Iron Butt ride a few years ago. First time I ever drank one of those 5 hour high caffeine drinks, but it worked thank goodness!! As always, enjoying the ride-along with you guys!

[@masonsadv]

Hey Jim. Old Mason took his wing out west and back and said he almost did the same thing, lol. Cheers!

[@Ron_C]

Awesome riding with friends! You and shooter need to sleep on your backs after Melon snagged all those gloves!

[@tallboy2234]

😂🤣👍. You tell ‘em Ron!

[@masonsadv]

I made sure the tent door was locked tight ;) Cheers Ron! haha

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video muchly appreciate. 14 inches of snow upstate New York. The videos really help winter blues. Thanks again. Cheers

[@masonsadv]

Patiently waiting for our snow to leave too... Cheers Bruce!

[@IslandADV]

Chill ride with the boys, love it. That's a great little tip about the gloves. I'll have to remember that. Great video gents. Cheers from PEI.

[@masonsadv]

Cheers! You only need to remember the glove tip once and you have gloves for life! Haha.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Love the shots with the UFO. 👽

[@masonsadv]

Such a cool spot for a photo op ;) Cheers Pinkie!

[@stevebrinkert8339]

👽 Good stuff as always. Funny 😄 at the gas stop. ✌️

[@Melon-gb5vd]

I haven’t laughed the entire vid in a long time

[@masonsadv]

Haha, You should have heard me laughing when I was editing this one. My wife thinks I'm going crazy Steve ;)

[@tallboy2234]

“What? …. Are we doing rectals later?” 😂🤣😂🤣👌😁

[@masonsadv]

Lol. Getting to the age where it likely is a good idea... Haha. Cheers TB

[@advphilnb]

Great ride, a stretch of Hwy can be a bit too relaxing, good thing you have the coms to keep yourselves entertained. The aliens were funny! Thanks for sharing, and keep well gents!

[@masonsadv]

It sure was nice to kick back and relax a bit but not too much ;) Cheers

[@coppersadventures]

As an avid hip fan, it's awesome to learn about the locations of their songs. Fly is the on the world container album. Great song!!! Love your videos, being from NY, I'm hoping to be able to head north and explore the land of our great neighbors to the north once things get back to normal.

[@Melon-gb5vd]

One thing about the Hip is they love their Canadiana and the history.

[@masonsadv]

Always cool to see the areas that inspire local music :) Lot's to explore up here when you can make the trip! Cheers

[@dl3g3nd45]

Do you wave to the other motorcyclists? I always tried but sometimes others wouldnt wave.

[@Melon-gb5vd]

Yes I try to anyways

[@masonsadv]

We always try to get a wave off or at least a nod if our hands are full ;) Cheers!

[@frank_jk]

Hey Mason, any way you could show us around your KLR's maintenance log? I know you've referenced it in previous videos, but I'd be interested in seeing how you set it up, what you annotate and maybe take us through a little maintenance history of your rig. If I'm the only one who thinks this might be interesting, then no worries. But I thought it would make for a good winter-time video when there's less riding to do. Anyways, great content as always. Keep it up!

[@masonsadv]

Hey Frank, great idea. I will keep that one in mind. Cheers!

[@coachp7486]

Thanks for sharing guys ! Lots of fun little quips to laugh along with. 😆 Question .. when you guys were getting your speed adjusted for Melon, was that a true “105” or what your speedo’s were saying ? From what I understand is alot of bikes’ speedo’s are set about 5 kph higher than actual fr the factory. My KLR is about 4 kph as best as I can make out. Just curious. Thx again gents ! 👍🏽

[@masonsadv]

Hey Coach, you're correct. The Tiger and the KLR both read high. Melons CRF has been adjusted to read accurately. Shooter runs 6-7 kms over-ish so a bit over 100 is 95 kmph for Melon.

[@chrisunderhill8853]

dang we are going to long for the 160 premium gas huh ? see ya on the next one!

[@masonsadv]

We sure are...

[@gregoryhogeweide4121]

👍as always. Question, what's phone nav app do you use?

[@masonsadv]

Hey Gregory, I run Backroads map books on my Garmin and we all have the downloadable Gaia app on our phones. It works even when we are out of cell service. Cheers!

[@ronron1224]

Came across your channel great videos and I subscribed, question I'm 66 retired, want to buy a bike and travel like you. What kind of bikes you guys are using in the video. Thank you for sharing g your ride, be careful drive safe

[@masonsadv]

Hey Ron, Welcome the crew! I'm on a 2015 KLR 650, Shooter is on the Triumph tiger 900 Rally pro and Melon is on the CRF 250L. My Dad, Old Mason also rides a KLR 650. Cheers!

[@ivanhamlyn]

What's the range on the klr??

[@brownharr1]

Melon, when I win the lottery I'm buying you another bike. I spend half my time worrying about how much fuel you have and how fast you're going. Lol. 300 Rally. That's what I'll get you. 😉

[@masonsadv]

Haha, the worry is real! May need to pass a hat for the extended fuel tank ;)

[@D.E.X]

[@masonsadv]
