Agreed!

All the perfect ingredients for some moto meditation 👌 Great to see you on here, looking forward to more ! All the best matey

[@ChrisKonings]

Ah thanks very much, I definitely had some zen moments throughout the trip - appreciate the comment, your videos inspired me to work on my own bike and give KZbin a go myself - glad to be sharing some content in return :)

[@DormanDiaries]

@@ChrisKonings nice one, I’ve been a bit slack recently, keep filming stuff but never get around to putting a video together. Also been doing a lot of work on Kj’S bikes, landy etc but not filming much. Filming gets in the way when time is limited. Been building a lot too!

[@ChrisKonings]

That’s awesome, thanks very much, I’d love to ride there one day!

[@Wildinglikenothing]

I'm from 2050, electric bikes now come equipped with speakers that mimic the nostalgic sound of traditional petrol engine motorcycles. Those born between 2000-2020 have begun to express a desire to bring back petrol bikes, missing the evocative exhaust noise and the thrill of manual gear shifting. We humbly request that anyone who still cherishes petrol bikes be our beacon in this world dominated by EVs, just as Chris Konings is remembered for his passion. With love from India! 🤌

[@ChrisKonings]

cool story, thanks for sharing :)

[@blrmotorcyclesinc.]

Awesome camping video👌👌👌looking forward to more such videos,btw which handlebars are those,look very cool,kindly share the link to purchase...🍻🍻🍻

[@ChrisKonings]

Thank you so much, plenty more to come, I've got many planned :) I'll also do a dive in to the other parts of the bike but the bars are from BAAK www.baakmotocyclettes.com/en/interceptor-continental-gt-650/3350-8352-wide-flat-track-handlebars-interceptor-650#/823-finition-polished/1176-choix-without_handlebar_grips

I like the old German camping pot :-)

[@ChrisKonings]

Haha, thanks I like the old school style, and it's really practical!

[@neillawson4252]

Cracking video is the table looks like a alp kit one I own 👀

[@ChrisKonings]

Thank you very much, the table is by SOTO, a Japanese brand

[@BlueRidgeRider]

Nice video! Now that fire season in California is all 12 months it seems crazy to just leave it burning! Do you rent from the landowner or are they just friends? I used to stay at the Yobug hostel when I visited Yosemite. I like this better! Now I’m 2000 miles east of there so I won’t be visiting any time soon.

[@ChrisKonings]

Yeah I was surprised, I use Hipcamp and there’s pretty clear guidance on fire making and rules. I like it because you get to know the land owners and typically people who use Hipcamp respect everyone’s privacy/experience :)

[@iamalexsun]

beautiful!

[@ChrisKonings]

Thank you for watching Alex :)

Great video bro 👍🏻 What handlebars are you using? Looks great

[@KostenfreiGratis]

Is it common to leave the fire burning in dry forest? 😅 Seems kinda stupid. Otherwise brilliant video. I'd love to try the tent with my own int650 one day. Which mirror and indicators are you using?

[@ChrisKonings]

Yeah, I was surprised it was still going, thankfully the land owners come by to check up on the sites regularly, in my case I let them know and just took advantage of the embers for my own fire - thanks very much, camping with the Int650 is a real pleasure. I the mirrors are by BAAK and indicators are by MotoGadget (M-Blaze I believe)

[@KostenfreiGratis]

@@ChrisKonings ah nice. Thanks for the answer. I was also planning to order a new tail at baak next month do I'll have a look for the indicators as well ;)

[@riccardofrascari7191]

Hey Man! Great video. I have just bought a used 2019 INT650 couple of days ago (first bike ever). I noticed that we have the same exhaust system mounted on the bike and I've read that the company doesn't actually sell them in california. Have you ever had a problem with police officers regarding the exhaust? Cheers!

[@ChrisKonings]

Thank you very much! Congrats on the new bike, never had any issues but have never been pulled over either

[@sweatygloves]

hi Chris how is the bike treating you? I mean seat comfort, fuel consumpution, rider endurance (riding miles without a windscreen) travel conditions (bags) i am new in long distance riding. ps. sorry for my grammatics, i am a foreigner.

[@ChrisKonings]

I love it, I've put over 10K miles on it and it's never let me down, I especially enjoy working on it and customizing it, it's so simple and easy to learn - I feel like it's good for long distance riding but I'm okay with some rough riding every-now-and-then, especially since it's a naked bike you're gonna feel the wind.

[@neillawson4252]

What was the night temperature and how did you find the tent for warmth ? Cheers neil

[@ChrisKonings]

It was about 55F and the temperature was good but I also have a sleeping bag liner for added warmth, would you be interested in a review of this tent?

[@neillawson4252]

@@ChrisKonings hello Chris cheers for the reply ,I have watched quite a lot of reviews about the goose and have just recently purchased a second hand one which I haven’t used yet as I think it will be still too cold,cheers neil

[@JH-qq4uy]

Do you prefer one tent over the other - Toucan vs Goose?

[@ChrisKonings]

It depends on what you’re using it for to be honest, if you have the right size of motorcycle to carry the Toucan then it gives you a good amount of extra space and is handy for bringing a pillion along for a camping trip. The Goose is more compact and great for solo trips but wouldn’t recommend for couples.

[@MochilaNaMoto]

[@ridicule35]

Cool video! I have a 650 Interceptor as well. I feel the stock handle bars are too narrow to me. I also have a 1250 GS Adventure as my tour bike. My daily ride is a 1200RT. These bikes have wide bars. Then when I switch to the Interceptor I feel the bars are too narrow. What bars are you running there? Link? Thanks in advance 🙂✌️
