do they not have professional garment cleaners in Japan? like the odor thing could have been fixed.....

[@kellimshaver]

End of an era.... I feel like Kyde's had that jacket forever.

[@kydeanderic]

she got it in Scotland! It's been a while. -E

@@kydeanderic​​⁠​⁠​⁠I started watching you both since Edinburgh. Scott Monument is where both your chemistry caught me. [just noticed that its picture on Wikipedia was taken on June 23th 2018, so you almost could have been on it] Glad Kyde took the time to mention (and show) her send-off of her go-to jacket as it suited her so well, and for so long. Love you both.

[@etmccaus]

I'm *totally* in for Eric Rides All The Trains!

[@Octoberslast]

it's funny when I think of kyde i picture her in that jacket and Eric is a band tee with a patagonia jacket lol, I got the same feeling as when I get rid of a hoodie. looking forward to see what gets chosen next lol.

[@Yesica1993]

I would have loved to ride the little train. Gorgeous sunflowers! Aw, RIP to Kyde's jacket. I always worry about Eric driving in the rain. (Even though this is posted after the fact, so he obviously survived. Duh. Still makes me nervous to see it.) It wouldn't be the same without Eric and his classic, bad footwear choices! Ugh, wet feet are the worst. Please explain that orange-y, robot-y thing! I can't decide it it's cute or terrifying.

[@Uploadenator]

oh man, Matsuko Deluxe!! I learned who that was when in Japan and asked you about it, hahaha - love the travel.

[@briancook5757]

good one guys , keep it up

[@brvl20121]

Thanks Kyde and Eric

Litle to late but again a amazing video!

[@deanzaZZR]

Before I visited Hokkaido the first time I did a bit of research and discovered that Hokkaido is roughly the same size as the state of South Carolina in the US. It helped put travel times, etc. in perspective, for me at least.

[@freefolkofthenuminousoccid9054]

Literally the very first line had the rolling

[@alkoop100]

I hate that robot baby. The first time I saw it was at a tourist facility, where an elderly couple and their wives were holding it. I glanced at them and thought, ``Oh, there's an elderly couple walking around carrying a child with some sort of disability. I shouldn't be staring at them.'' I felt sorry for them because they had a child with them who was small for their age, and they thought that the child probably had some kind of disability and was unable to walk on his own and was being carried by his elderly parents. Because I felt it. When my eyes met them again after a while, I realized that it was the robot they were holding. And for some reason I got a little angry.

LOL

4:30 Kyde needs a dirt bike!

[@danielwalker26]

My dad used to ride motorcycles and was a motorcycle mechanic. He said other people are jealous of people on motorbikes because they are having so much fun going down the road.

[@etherdog]

Your intro reminded me that I have frozen corn in my deep freeze from our garden!

[@kydeanderic]

haha nice! -E

[@yips_way]

If you'd driven faster your visor would have likely cleared, if you cracked the bottom open a tad it wouldn't steam up either. If you were going for poor visibilty & foggy, along with being drenched by passing traffic - you nailed it 👍 What worries me more is riding with casual light attire. Tarmac loves ripping through that stuff to get to your skin. I know leathers/boots or at least heavy duty stuff can be a pita to put on but I'd rather that than lose skin. Please look at getting some in future, even a good waxproof bike jacket & pants along with heavier duty shoes & gloves would be better (what I started off with). I used to wear the full leathers/boots/gloves I wore on my sports bikes for my mopeds too, even for short rides. Got some weird looks but who cares when I was safer, warmer & waterproof 😁 I have the scars to prove what tarmac can do, even with heavy protection, so I dread to think what the result would be with t-shirts & plimsolls. 🤕 From a concerned viewer 😔

[@deanzaZZR]

During my biking years I always rolled with at a minimum quality helmet, armored jacket, real motorcycle gloves and boots. We all make choices.

[@mc127]

As above, going slow makes things worst, speed and air flow helps. Also look up Rain X plastic for better clearance of water on the visor (and camera). p.s. do get some real gear, especially for your better half. another p.s. you may have to lower your wind screen as this will increase air flow and reduce fogging and clearing water from visor (and open vents in helmet). I also have a scooty, but mine has electric wind screen, so it's a balance between protection and air flow.

[@kydeanderic]

if I could easily walk into a bike shop and buy gear that fit I'd love to. but I'm 6foot7, skinny and in Japan.

[@deanzaZZR]

@@kydeandericAs someone who is 6'3" and used to be skinny I can tell you that it's not that easy to find gear in the US either. 😉 Of course we all want you and Kyde to be safe on your adventures.

[@porteiromendes8466]

Not the blue jacket!!!! I liked it so much that I bought a lookalike. Really enjoying the series so far!!!

Maybe all that extra computer time with the lady was to make sure they have enough time to take the battery out the clock for you. Lol

[@rikkaonline]

if you find yourself staying at many more toyoko inns, it might be worth doing their membership thing. i can just drop my card on the machine and it does most of the work for me

[@kydeanderic]

haha yea, i've considered it, but its really not more than once or twice a year to be honest.

[@smitha775]

Next summer I might do a similar Hokkaido scooter trip. Is a foreign Drivers License good enough to rent a scooter in Hakodate or do I need a special Motorcycle Foreign Drivers License??

[@kydeanderic]

You will need to have a motorcycle license from your home country and an official "international driving permit". In the states you get that from AAA, for example. Its an easy process. But if your license only shows you can drive a car, then you won't be able to drive a motorbike here. *Maaaybe* you can drive up to a 49cc scooter on that, but I'm not totally sure how that works. -E

[@Ian-lx1iz]

Umm - _when_ did this trip take place, Eric. Hokkaido is looking rather un-snowy for a mid-March. Was this video a hold-over from last Summer?

[@kydeanderic]

Yes, I filmed it over last summer. It's a lot of footage, it'll take a while to get it all up. -E
