The west Kootenays is a motorcycle rider's dream destination with its windy roads, beautiful scenery, pristine nature, hot springs, wineries, great food, rich history.
This past summer I rode my Honda CB500X from Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) to the west Kootenays in pursuit of some of the best riding Canada has to offer!
Episode 3 follows my journey from beautiful Creston to Kaslo where I meet a vintage motorcycle builder and see his impressive collection of restored vintage cafe racers. 🎥 Filmed by me and my fellow traveller Sina.

Now I understand why the XS650 twin engine is popular among builders. Definitely my favorite sounding engine in the group of vintage bikes. Sounds like a bucket list ride for sure. Thank you Megan for bringing you amazing journey to us.

Thank you for sharing your trips. The experiences shown here are so similar to Western NC and North Georgia in the US including the mountain and lake views, the quirky bike campgrounds and the roads. The "only in Canada" happy comments are probably what we say as "only on the Blue Ridge" here. I'm wintering with my daughter and helping with her newborn this year, so I miss riding in the highlands.

Thank you for making a great video. That area is just the most amazing motorcycle country. I hope the gentleman has good luck with his motorcycle rental business. I see he has two XS650 motorcycles, which are fun bikes to ride. I am riding a 1978 XS650SE which I have had for 13 years now. I remember very well, leaving Nakusp on my XS650 a few years back. It rained from Nakusp to Balfor along highway 6. It stopped raining at the ferry. I had a beautiful ride along the Kootenay Lake on 3A, and good weather all the way to Cranbrook. I highly recommend that area as one of the best biking areas for riders from Calgary area. I may take my XS650 for a trip out to that area this summer.

Loved the cafe racer bikes. Nice restoration work. I was especially fond of the GS750, in part because I had a Suzuki GS500 at one time that, while a smaller bike for me (I'm right at 2 meters tall), I could throw that thing into corners and it loved it. Also the Yamaha 650 Special. I had the larger 750 Special as a touring bike with saddle bags, a trunk bag, fairing with lowers, foot pegs, etc. Great to see someone keeping those classics alive and thanks Megan for the wonderful videos and beautiful scenery!

I live near Kalamazoo MI .. Last Summer I watched a Severe Thunderstorm develop from my Shop Windows.. I saw a few pea sized hail pellets hit the ground .. A week Later a friend who has a Yoo Toob Farming channel and lives 80 miles from me asked if I had damage from the Hail Storm near Vicksburg MI.. I am, 2 miles from Vicksburg.. I checked the Local News and they had photos of a Church 1 mile from me that had Hail like 3" deep on ground.. There was a corn and soy bean field near there the hail stripped every leaf off from the stalks and stems.. Leaving no crop at all .. At this Church they showed Hail 2 feet deep at the edge of the parking lot where all the hail washed to. Many Houses in Vicksburg needed new roofs and all cars parked outside had severe hail dents on them ..

Great video!! I am from Saskatchewan where the roads are mostly flat and straight, so I head out West to the mountains every summer to ride these areas. Love it ! Which model Honda are you riding in this ?

That's great that you can get into the mountains from time to time. This is a Honda CB500X (2013)

Newly found your channel and loving it! First it's very cool to find Canadian motorcycle content. Love the BC scenery. Second being from Québec, buried under tons of snow, I'm so jealous that you get to ride all year (at least most of it). We're lucky if we get decent riding weather freom may to maybee october. Love the way you tell your stories and your photography is very inspiring. Kudoos to your cameraman too! Most of all, you seem to have a lot of fun even if editing everything must be loads of work. Thank you for that, we appreciate it. If ever out east drop by Montreal! Cheers!

Getting caught in hail can be challenging. My son and I were caught by hail on the motorcycle near the summit of Pikes Peak. It was interesting driving down.

The hail storm reminds me of my last trip to Mt. Washington. It was early August at the bottom but a Winter storm at the top. But you can find videos of cars and motorcycles (I had taken the cog rail up) driving up in nice sunny days where you can see for miles and miles...you can really get all kinds of weather so check the forecasts carefully. Also thanks for introducing Lukas and best wishes to his business.
