Hey, Think the bike should be called ARROW. Bow and Arrow.

[@tonystrange7224]

Nice one Jake. I reckon the bike needs to be called Hobo (Ho for Honda and Bo in honour of the van) and hobo is nomadic like yourself.

[@iHarpStrategy]

Fantastic video. Thanks Man!

[@garyspracticalworkshop357]

Nice , Like the GIGANTIC solar panels they are ENORMOUS 😜

[@JakesJourneyMate]

POWERERRRRRR!!! ⚡️😂

[@ademonsenvy]

[@robertwelsh6878]

Looking good mate from one vet to another you really are living your best life Jake!

[@chrisfedrick3882]

I’d be putting your electrics and tail board knowing what po,po are like and a security chain Great content as always

[@rossfishy]

Dirty Bertie. Looks sweet dude.

[@russellbennett9270]

Looking absolutely fantastic safety Journey's

[@dontworrybehappy5139]

Great job on the roof, it looks amazing and I like how much space you have for chilling out. I can see you and Becky up there with some beverages enjoying a sunset.

[@erincunningham-ih6sg]

Niiiice! Thanks for making this video, it's super helpful seeing the bike rack in action. I hope it's holding up well! Love the deck too!

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you 🙏

[@stewie2503]

yo jake I've started building a camper van myself and I am watching your videos for inspiration.

[@fiveredones]

Ride safe Jake 👍

[@mbrider56]

Awesome Jake, now that is a sweet rig....✌🏻

[@georgespeirs1210]

Great video jake get up the Highlands van look great now 👍

[@bethaneydunne9682]

Wow Jake amazing Video i love your video hope can be friends your so inspiring and an idol i didnt know you drove motorbike j know you driven all sorts in Army such as Tanks etc you are ao brave strong and im so proud support you 100% 👍😊😊

[@Torrox4]

Electrics, tailboard for legal reasons and pipe lagging cable tied to the bike post at the back to save any accidental damage. You might also want to add a bike cover strapped over because you know how much muck gets thrown up the back of a van on a wet crappy winter drive. Great video, love what your doing 😎🤘 What about calling the bike " AS" then together they can be AS Beau ( ASBO) 😉

[@RustyRoseAdventures]

Nice one jake! The bike is awesome, so considering one myself!

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Its looking RAD gangster love it now get the inside completed lol stay safe

[@dogmandoug1715]

That will save you a few Bob in Derv Jakey boy, wicked mate, wicked 🤟🏻

[@chrisharper1641]

I’d put another strap round the ladder mate just for extra security when on the road… but looking great. Top job pal 👍

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Call the bike Derek going to need a trailer board now

[@scottman4943]

Mate seeing this bike adventure idea is making me want to get my bike test done and get my dads old DT125 1984 back out from storage

[@Meandmissy]

Got to call the bike arrow lol

[@alexstruenorth]

Jake with that bike you remind me of young John Connor from Terminator 2 for some reason 😂

[@bikereddie]

Invest in 2 ratchet straps for the bike. Far more stronger, and a lot more secure. Dont forget a decent lock for the bike to lock it to the carrier.

[@Smudge64]

Living the Dream!

[@checkyourself164]

That definitely wants an electrics board hanging off the back, plod wont like how obscured those lights are.

[@tonysutton6559]

Have you had it weighed again with the bike on the back to check that you aren't over the rear axle limit? If you want to test that nothing falls off, just nip over the border into South Staffs where there is more pothole than actual road in places.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Had the rack in the back garage dude! Then just added on the bike weight, 143 wet 145 with mods 🤘 best idea for the test tone! 😂

[@JoeFrancisCaptures]

Looking sick! Make sure that things strapped in good and proper. Those are popular out here In BC and ive seen one break clean off on the highway 😂

[@bluenosewrx]

Jackal for the bike lol 😂 great fit mate, mind and have a lock on the bike in transit, someone will definitely try and rob it.

[@jesper1406]

ADHD in full blow... Good luck with everything, kid. ❤

[@JakesJourneyMate]

XD

[@beverleyfielding4551]

The roof is looking fab 🙌 how about Dobbie for the two wheels 😂

[@bethaneydunne9682]

Hope can be friends do you miss the army ?:) you should do Q and A as next Vlog 😊👍👍

[@jackmorton2878]

Wicked brother 👌🏻

[@ianworthy9598]

What did the van weigh

[@Daydreameruk]

Absolutely superb roof top Jake, great idea with plastic planking too. Can you get any after market UV protector spray for them?

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you! Not sure on that yet, good idea though!

[@bfwilkinson]

Babs for the bike

[@d3v1nstarr]

im worried about the dirt bike not being stored safely inside the van

[@mtchamberlin]

Dismount for some recces - sounds like Bo is a Warrior IFV not a camper 😂

[@RobertGillespie]

bike should be called.... bonda :D

[@tonysutton6559]

Your bike's plate is HRM so Herman would be a good name. If you park on the top of a hill could get your leg over on your patio the top of your van and passerbys wouldn't know (unless they've got a drone) 😲

[@Orangehippo17]

Seen as the van is called Bo call the bike Derek

[@Spacecowboy2049]

I want the same thing for my van build. But I'm worried about the weight. I have a triumph scrambler 900. Over 400lbs so not sure if thats too heavy

[@bethaneydunne9682]

When your next video hope can be friends 😊👍

[@paulwbakerphotography]

Should be called Hussar or Hawk! Good luck

[@JakesJourneyMate]

😂😂 love it Paul! There’s gotta be the name of a Reputable regimental horse floating around somewhere in the regimental museum! 😁

[@paulwbakerphotography]

@@JakesJourneyMate The Princess Royal used to be a horse and the other was Hussar I think

[@paulwbakerphotography]

Ramnuggur

[@grainneohare1949]

Jake do you ever see yourself joining the army again or is van life the way forward for yourself ☺️

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Never will again mate! :) we’re always evolving & moving forward! 🤘

[@paulhulley5969]

Jake,The bike name should be paddy as the Honda is from Japan and they have the rice paddy fields. 🥾⛰⛺️

[@paulg8524]

where did you buy rack, struggling to find one, ty

[@SimonWatson-nx1kt]

How is the weight on the back axle?

[@KarlPowell1970]

BO and Jessi Duke from Dukes of Hazzard

[@harleyhonk2477]

Bikes gotta be Frodo

[@Cakeious]

With that flex, did the handle bars ever hit the window ?

[@JakesJourneyMate]

No mate :)

[@Cakeious]

@@JakesJourneyMate sweet! Subscribed as soon as you said about Cj!

[@twist_of_the_wrist]

What was the weight.......

[@laughinglikefuck297]

Bo & Ho 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@stephensansom1492]

Surely the bike should be called Bill then the rig is Billbo

[@50Squirrel]

Call the bike Samwise Gamgee…
