James Bay Highway Adventure Part 1

[@jacm5186]

epic windshield

[@Peeohtrek]

I don’t know about that, just talk maybe. 😉

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That was totally awesome bro. The only about about that "healthy highway grub". is that you burp it in your helmet for 50 kms. lol

[@Peeohtrek]

I have never been there before. Every time I drove past the lines were huge. This was mid week so we decided to stop. It was ok.... But we did have to make another stop some 80km further north.

[@robertmacdonald2735]

Just came across this vid....nice job...not over produced...pretty realistic. Question....I am wondering if a Harley Davidson Dynaglide would make it to Chisasibi?

[@Peeohtrek]

Hi, thanks for the kind words. The road is paved all the way to Chisasibi, so you should have no problems. The only thing you will have to watch out for is road construction. There might be long stretches of gravel where they’re resurfacing the road. Also, the last 10km, form Chisasibi to the coast of James bay, is gravel. But if you ride slowly it should not be an issue. Cheers.

7:29 Exactly why I never choose a motorcycle unless it has at least 400 km of range, be it for the James Bay Road or any other. Gasing up wastes time if you are trying to make distance. My KLR 650 is good for 500 kms on a paved road at the speed limit and my R1200 GSA LC is good for that and up to 600 kms.

[@Peeohtrek]

Exactly, the speed triple was constantly being topped up. We essentially carried fuel for the triple. On the other hand our KLRs being overloaded and riding at higher speeds faired only slightly better.

[@a.c.e.7568]

@@Peeohtrek I have the luggage mounts on the KLR from Happy Trails. The aluminum cases from Daerr (Germany) were heavily loaded and the luggage mounts were never an issue, even after 1100 kms of rough gravel roads. You could hook a hook to them and lift the KLR onto a ship they are that solid. As for range, with the boxy aluminum Daerr luggage, it would be reduced due to aerodynamic drag.

[@abrahamsalamah5773]

I dont even have my motorcycle license yet but I swear i'll make that trip someday

[@Peeohtrek]

Definitely worth it just to drive. Beautiful land, best people and an awesome adventure!

[@rex4x4]

Dude ....... This was awesome ...... Hurry up ..... I NEED pt 2 now

[@Peeohtrek]

Rex4x4 Might be a while..... It's a one man show lol. But I'm starting tonight!

[@Alaskandualsport]

awesome video

[@BelowZero]

Good one ... can't wait for part 2.

[@Alaskandualsport]

awesome video ,,looking forward to part 2

[@Peeohtrek]

Thanks. Lots of forest riding shots to sift through. As soon as it's done it's up.

[@sagarboss2004]

❤

[@Peeohtrek]

That’s the nicest comment ever. Thank you.

[@LookAtMeLuis]

very cool that looks like fun cant wait for part 2

[@Peeohtrek]

Look At Me Luis Thanks. Im working on it already.... few more months... lol.

[@OutdoorRob]

Nice Man! Always wanted to do this ride...maybe someday!

[@Peeohtrek]

Outdoor Rob Thanks. We're going back up next year to finish of the Trans Taiga. Maybe I'll see you up there.

[@OutdoorRob]

If I get a chance to ride anywhere this year, it will be up to Tuk on the Dempster! Happy Trails!

[@Sum4Seb]

If only the budget could support it we'd be out adventuring all year! Great video, looking forward to the rest!

[@Peeohtrek]

+Sum4Seb That would be my dream job. Riding, recording and posting.

[@ONTADV]

I forgot all about the rain. It's funny how your brain blocks those parts out. Well done. I'm just going to send you all of my footage from now on haha.

[@Alaskandualsport]

fantastic video

[@Peeohtrek]

ONT ADV Lol. No thanks. I'm done editing. 2 more episodes. Lol.

[@baconinacrate3832]

Great Video.

[@Peeohtrek]

thanks...

[@DustyBiker]

Awesome video. Looking to do this at some point and was excited to see you've done it.

[@Peeohtrek]

Thanks. Yeah that was a pretty cool ride, minus the mishap with the GSA rider.... We (Daren on the Broken KLR and I) actually went back and rode the Trans Taiga last year... Video is being edited right now. This ride is a must for all motorcycle riders.

[@kennethvernonprivate]

Great stuff eh!....I like the narration.

[@Alaskandualsport]

looking forward to part 2

[@Peeohtrek]

scooter_kenny Lol, listening to myself drone on in that monotone voice is painful. I'll have to make an effort to sound a bit more uplifting for the next one. Thanks for the kind words. Part 2 is coming soon.

[@Keith1212]

Awesome vid man. Will be waiting for part 2!

[@Alaskandualsport]

Looking forward to seeing part 2

[@Peeohtrek]

THANKS!!! I'll post it ASAP.

[@gorillaninja78]

Wow awesome! Can’t wait for the second part 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Peeohtrek]

smalltownmoto 1 Thanks. I'll try to get it up quickly. Being a one man production has it's limitations though.

[@cliffspicer6555]

Love the narration . Great video!

[@Peeohtrek]

Thanks. So, a career in voiceover work is out of the question? LOL.

[@cliffspicer6555]

Did you script this first? Only a Canadian would put beer in his jacket like a baby in a papoose.

[@Peeohtrek]

Cliff Spicer No script. I sat down, did the edit and then recorded what poped into my head with the phone mic. The beer: was shaken very badly, It was going to burst regardless. I thought that having a beer on me would absorb some of the shaking.... but then it exploded. 3 survived though...

[@hamrmark]

Hey, late to the party... Looking for a trip Pan21 as the border will probably still be shut down. Anyways, how did the Triumph handle the ride, aside from the panniers? (Just read your reply to the Dynaglide...) What was the duration and total trip kms?

[@Peeohtrek]

Better late than never. The triumph made it through without an issue. The cracked luggage rack was the only problem. James did however complain of a rough and stiff ride. Hitting the bumps in the triumph wasn’t fun. It was a 5 day/4 nights ride. And we did just over 3200km from Grimsby where James and I live. It was a few hundred shorter for Daren as he lives in Northern Ontario. Thanks for watching!

[@hamrmark]

Next time you're passing Stoney Creek, stop in for a beer!

[@Peeohtrek]

Beer? I’ll be there tonight! And tomorrow night! It’s close, I can be there all the time! 🍺 Cheers!

[@hamrmark]

Quick question: did you have to pre-book camp/hotels, and is there premium gas past Matagami?

[@wdsracer]

Stay at the mosey in north bay.

[@Peeohtrek]

What’s the Mosey? North Bay is where I dropped the KLR at the Timmies. Lol.

[@wdsracer]

@@Peeohtrek the mosey on inn. It was a strip club / hotel, I just read it was torn down a few years ago. Damn it. We used to go in there when we were snowmobiling out of North Bay.

[@shreedevi2005]

Very nice! Must have been quite the effort to combine the various points of view from the different cameras. Waiting for the next part!

[@Peeohtrek]

I just grabbed from the guys what footage they had. Editing it was a pain. Hours of forest shots. Thanks for watching.

[@Supernaut2000]

Wow, what a great video! Excellent narration, music and not too much of the same angle of views, etc. I liked the mixed bike views. Boy you guys are hard assed...no or very small windshields, pouring cold rain...sure glad the sun came out for you finally! Can't wait now to watch the next parts! Again, well put together!

[@Peeohtrek]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a great trip.

[@Alaskandualsport]

Hey PeeOhTrek Fantastic video ,,woke up and watched with my coffee,,( awesome way to start my day) looks like you guys were having an awesome adventure so far,,hated to see part 1 end,,lol looking forward to seeing part 2 and what happens next ride safe my motorcycle brothers ,,,LIKED ( thumbs up )

[@Peeohtrek]

Alaskan dual sport Thanks man. I'm glad you liked it. Have been working on it since August. I'm sure the second will be faster.

[@Ron_C]

Epic!

[@Peeohtrek]

Ron C Thanks. Im glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on 2 right now.

[@Ron_C]

Looking forward to it. I'm a new owner of a new (2017)KLR, only put a little over 400 miles on it. Until I get the time, etc for a long journey I'll live vicariously through riders such as yourself!

[@Peeohtrek]

This journey was just a long weekend with a day off on each side of the weekend. Not much time here either. Working and family gets in the way of riding. Lol. You have a great bike so enjoy it as much as you can.

[@Ron_C]

So true! Every video I've uploaded so far contain some kind of language about how happy I am with this bike!

[@Peeohtrek]

Ron C Lol. I uploaded one that was about the shortcomings of the KLR... I got killed on that one. Expressing your opinions on that bike is deadly. KLR riders are a sensitive bunch... Sometimes... lol. Nontheless, the bike itself is amazing. Simple, reliable and fun. I just sub'd to your channel.

[@americanexcursions3542]

Great vid. Great quality. I love how the footage is not from one motorcycle only. Can't wait for the second part.

[@Peeohtrek]

Opinion Pole pretty much all the guys have their own channels. So it was just a matter of meeting up for a swap.

[@Supernaut2000]

Oh by the way...I would like to give you an idea for your summer ride this year! Can you do the TLH please? TLH is of course the Trans Labrador Highway... Google it and you'll see it is an adventure of epic proportions. I live too far away to do it but hope you can make it happen!

[@Peeohtrek]

The Trans Labrador is on the bucket list. I'm not sure if it's a possibility this year as I have work obligations and a bike that might not be best for it... but maybe. I am doing the Dacre Rally for sure as for the TLN.... We will see.

[@BRIDGECITYRIDER]

Excellent!👌🏼

[@Peeohtrek]

BRIDGE CITY RIDER Thanks. I will try to get part 2 up quick.
