RTW Motorcycle Tour: Sydney to London - Episode 8: Thailand

[@21ADB21]

I'll say it again lads. It is absolutely criminal your channel hasn't blown up yet. The footage, editing and not to mention the balls you boys have to take on this trip deserves huge kudos. Keep riding lads!

[@kenningst]

It’s been 5 months since you guys posted this. What happen to you guys? Returned back to Australia because of the pandemic?

[@andycox2271]

Agree with the comment below. Best narration out there i reckon, not hammed up like a reality show, which a lot of tubers do to get people to watch. pain the arse, cause if you have lived a bit you don't need the drama show to know what is a bit dodgy and what isn't. You just have to keep the vids coming.

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks Andy, really appreciate this comment. As tempting as it is to go all clickbait (worryingly i bet it works and we would have lots more views) we have avoided it to date. As positive as we are dont get me wrong it wasnt all fun and games at times but we knew it wouldnt be and no one forced us to do this trip, if everything went to plan it wouldnt have been an adventure. Next video out of Wed, please share with any mates or groups you think might enjoy them too.

[@UKPete]

What a great adventure, Thanks for taking us on it. Sorry you got ill but i can see there a load more video so I guess you got better which is good.

[@Northandleftabit]

Yeah thanks Peter, it was far from ideal but could have been worse.

[@danny.belanger]

WAIT! Only 8 episodes? I want more. Keep the good work stay safe

[@ryanmalone2681]

You guys are clearly big fans of Family Guy. Only another fan can tell. Love the little references. Loving this entire series. So jealous!

[@Solotravelguy]

Loved it guys. I was on the same trip but... Covid.... Bike is now in Thailand and I'm back in Oz waiting for the world to restart. Looking forward to your future vids!

[@davidcarter6737]

Enjoying your videos, sat here in Canada's capital, Ottawa, snow outside, beautiful, but a little cold. Makes me feel I could handle the heat and humidity, no problem. Will just have to settle for my local Thai restaurant...Suko Thai. Can't wait for your next video. Cheers.

[@TheChindoboi]

Thanks for posting guys! Great footage and great base material for me to travel

[@Northandleftabit]

Cheers mate I'm glad you like the vids. Shout out if you have any questions, happy to share whatever we learnt along the way

[@johannaonamotorcycle]

I found your channel yesterday and been going through all your videos. It has been an absolute joy to watch you guys!

[@tn8584]

Loving the series. Can't wait to see more. You guys rock. More vide please. We live vicariously through you. Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@Northandleftabit]

Sorry for the late reply. Great to read comments like yours it really inspires us to keep editing. NZ bust be riding heaven, very jealous. We should have another video out today, I hope you enjoy it

[@HolyMoleyJoelyPoley]

Can I just say I am so impressed by your series. Travelling the world is hard, doing it on motorcycles is ridiculously hard, filming all of it above everything else, that’s herculean! I noticed that your video views are quite low at the moment, but I think that will change in time once people catch on. Otherwise an incredible video document to show your kids (eventually). I found this better than Long Way Round, and you blokes are better people than the other two egomaniacs (IMHO). You embody typical Aussie values: humility, hard work and inventiveness. It’s been 3 months since you last posted and I’m dying to find out how you both are/went. How’s the dengue? Will be passing this onto my mates. Go well. Cheers from Brisvegas!

[@rxsamar]

Awesome vid - Keep up the good work. I bought a KLR and got my learners motorcycle license because of you two and your adventures!

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi mate, the KLR is an incredible bike for the price and those things go on for ever. That's great we had a hand in motivating you to get into motorcycles. RIding bikes has definitely changed my life, even around where I live I never would have found places if it wasn't for just exploring on a motorcycle. Safe riding

[@jessewarren2689]

The content and editing is so good!

[@casejoe344]

I realize I am quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@matteobrayden3276]

@Case Joe lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@amirdarwin6633]

@Matteo Brayden Yup, I have been using Flixzone for since march myself :)

[@casejoe344]

@Matteo Brayden Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !!

[@matteobrayden3276]

@Case Joe no problem xD

[@lucho1989]

Amazing videos!! Please make them longer :)

[@Northandleftabit]

Haha we were actually worried they might be too long for youtube. Please feel free to subscribe if you're not already

[@martincrippen3107]

Hi. Thanks for making the videos. I'm from the US, but have travelled, partially by motorcycle, in most of the countries you've been in so far. Brings back good memories. Thanks.

[@Northandleftabit]

Cheers Martin, I'm glad your enjoying them. That's awesome you have been to most of the same countries, we're all very lucky to experience them and see how lovely the majority of people are.

[@climbmotoadv1550]

scary with dengue fever! glad your alright dude!

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi mate, yeah it was a rough few weeks but we made it out and pressed on

[@BlackThor15]

Amazing video, well done you two! Each episode looks like a documentary on the road and on two wheels, simply brilliant!! 👍👍

[@jamesking-ix4dc]

hi guys , just wondering if you will be uploading any more in this series ? i really enjoyed watching and hope you will continue to upload more videos . thanks

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi James, we definitely will be. We actually finished the trip so have a whole lot of footage and countries left to go. Thanks for the comment, we hope to have Myanmar out in the not to distant future.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

So glad you channel and content has improved so much. thanks. 🙂

[@willyd-adv]

Absolutely love your videos. I would say some of the best out there. In 2016-2018 i rode from the UK to NZ on an almost identical trip to yours (but backwards) and didn't use any planes as I'm scared of flying. Keep up the great work and hope you are both safe in these crazy times

[@walterdavey4196]

Watching this series for a second time!

[@Patigoooool]

Awesome stuff guys. Glad i discovered your channel now and not at the time of the uploads as i miss the time in between uploads! You talk of budget but what actually was your budget? I know its hard to say countries/regions are cheaper than others but say $1000USD/month? or would that be stretched too much at times. Binging through a LOT of these, this trip is something i dream off. I recently done a big loop for 28days in the north of Vietnam. Its a shame you guys missed that region. So green and epic!

[@Northandleftabit]

Cheers mate, we really just tried to do it as cheaply as possible but with somethings like guides ans shipping you have no options. From the Myanmar video onwards at the end of each country we gave a cost breakdown so you should check them out. Any questions just shout

[@007topless]

Awesome Job guys

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks mate, we have many more videos so please feel free to subscribe

[@kukuhbanendro8067]

Really like your adventures, i spend one day on my handphone to watch all your videos. I hope you guys keep going with your adventures. Good luck. From Indonesia

[@stevenbooker2409]

I have watched these 8 videos on 2 separate occasions. They are great, and I hope you can make more.

[@stevehutchison5515]

Another great chapter,. Thanks very much for taking the time to create these very high quality videos and posting them up.

[@Northandleftabit]

Cheers Steve, new video should be out today. Thanks for the comment we really appreciate the feedback and support

[@itismegarry]

ah stoked you guys made it to tonsai! I used to live in railay and I know one hotel there hires a barge like once a week or two for rubbish. its a snobby hotel with security but incase someone is wondering at the same route, there is a possibility to get a bike to railay east, at least.

[@itismegarry]

bro, huge respect for staying on the bike through denge. crazy what a schedule can make you do haha

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

Awesome. I did some riding in Thailand a couple years before you guys, and it was excellent. You've definitely stoked my appetite to go back once this whole pandemic thing settles down.

[@Northandleftabit]

Yeah It was alot of fun, I wish we had more time to explore the northern mountains though

[@eduardopaolini5256]

I really like your videos they have been getting better and better. Really like how you document every part of your journey even the parts that aren't the most ideal. I really appreciate the authenticity and I admire your spirit of adventure. Great work and I can't wait to see your future videos.

[@jimwood1068]

Brilliant.

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks mate

[@erikwhitley413]

Really glad I stumbled onto your channel. Great editing skills and very entertaining. My wife randomly wanted to see what riding in India was like (she rides a Royal Enfield), and you guys popped up. Now we are slow binging from the beginning. Great work, my dudes!

[@quinlandia7278]

Glad y'all are posting vids again. Having had dengue 3 times, I wasn't suprised about your eventual diagnosis.

[@Northandleftabit]

Yeah Jay wasnt doing too well. Luckily the worst of it hit in Bangkok, he did well to keep going

[@MontanaBooniesRider]

I've been bingeing your episodes and love them. So glad I just found your channel and haven't been waiting years for your episodes! 😂 Love the comradery between you two and the rhythm of each episode. Looking forward to watching the rest.

[@nolaneads2826]

The genuine nature of this video is inspirational beyond measure. Keep hammering

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks Nolan. Sorry for the delay in vids but we will keep drip feeding them out when we get chance. We should have a new Pakistan video out tonight, I hope you find time to watch it

[@DenzelFroffingtonMotoADV]

Fantastic content fellas. Loving every vid

[@alrightdave6135]

Good work.

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks mate glad you're enjoying them

[@BlazerLz]

Why does sickness hit so much harder when you're travelling?! Great vid guys!

[@prateeksarin3555]

You guys have great stamina seriously 👍🏻

[@SimonATvic]

Change your oil more often. it looks roasted! The dr650 is very reliable but you have a big load. i would change every 4000km at least.

[@CrazyState1]

These video's are so well done. It's great inspiration for my next trip.

[@Northandleftabit]

Cheers, mate where are you planning for your next trip?

[@ROFLWAFFLEization]

Quality as ever...you guys are woefully underviewed! Keep up the good work!

[@Northandleftabit]

thanks mate, if you have any tips on how we can improve our view count I'd love to hear it. Next video should be out tonight, I hope you enjoy it

[@Sweetmanmoto]

Thumbs up for the motoz GPS

[@jamesking-ix4dc]

great content guys , makes me want to do it . looking forward to more videos

[@ClunkyGears]

I love your videos..you inspire so much! I wish to do something similar one day!

[@Northandleftabit]

Make it happen my friend. Best think we ever did. Thanks for the comment, you inspire us to keep going with the videos

[@raghasurya]

Cant stress enough of how much good quality content you guys are putting up, love the experiences and the journies you guys went through. Looking forward for more!

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks Chang we really appreciate the feedback and it motivates us to get more videos out. Hopefully we can grow the channel.

[@adamali7371]

its been awhile since your last video. What happen ?

[@Northandleftabit]

Sorry Adam life got in the way. We did however complete the trip and hope to keep the vids coming out when we can. We hope to get our next out today

[@markrutherford4962]

Gents, amazing video! You need to edit this into a movie and get it on amazon! Plus a guest appearance from Luke.... 👍👍

[@Northandleftabit]

Glad you liked it

[@famous_amos]

How is this not trending?

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks mate, honestly I think the KZbin algorithm hates us. We're really struggling to get infront of new people. Feel free to share with friends or groups you think might be interesting to help us out.

[@famous_amos]

@@Northandleftabit you're already a favorite amongst my little group of (Mostly) DR650 riders here in Southern California please don't get discouraged!

[@Northandleftabit]

@@famous_amosthat's great to hear, don't worry we will keep going. Worst case we will have these to watch ourselves when we're old and choosing our minds haha. Southern Cal looks like adv heaven from what I have seen

[@darshu014]

Hey Guys, i came across your vlogs from another similar RTW motorcycle vlog. Your road trip is far more adventorous compared to all out there. I watched all your vlogs on this trip and anxiously awaiting rest of the vlogs from Myanmar and onwards. I hope you guys are staying safe and well. Take care!

[@575ban]

Always worth the wait. Thanks guys, I enjoyed that 👍

[@saschakraemer6793]

Awesome stuff. Keep em coming.

[@Northandleftabit]

Sorry for the delay but we should have a new Pakistan video out today

[@xcRaD28]

Keep em coming!!! Love these videos! - Fellow DR650 Rider with long term travel aspirations

[@SCfromVANCOUVER]

Really enjoying watching you guys on this trip. Reminds me of my cross country Vietnam Moto trip in '17. Bummer you got sick; it can come on so quickly out of nowhere. Ride safe 🇨🇦🤙🏽

[@moryczg]

Great trip, enjoy watching! Whose music is at the end this episode?

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks mate, this the song I think genius.com/Pandaraps-sidewaze-lyrics

[@bebbuinc7611]

Got the notif on phone, played it... what the hell am I doing? Jumped out of bed and fire up my laptop. Need bigger screen to watch!

[@alanseery4458]

Absolutely loving your videos guys, top quality and very entertaining, you have found the right balance of travel, biking and personal content. Keep up the good work. You just need to figure out how to get the word out there so more people can enjoy the content 👍🏻

[@Northandleftabit]

Thanks Alan, we love getting feedback and im glad you're enjoying the videos. I agree it would be great to get the word out more, please feel free to share any ideas you might have.

[@RichIngersoll]

Sorry if I missed this, but what tires were you riding from Oz that kept going on and on, and what rear tire were you carrying to change up? Great channel BTW - love it!

[@DeaNoZ20]

[@12armande]

Epic watch guys, shame about the drone that shits expensive!

[@johan4787]

Best moto vlogs on youtube, as always!

[@russelltulett6241]

Loving the videos guys, keep it up! The best kind of medicine while we can't travel at the moment... and inspiration to start planning a trip! Prior to leaving, did you join Facebook groups for travelers/riders in all countries you visited, to help with planning?

[@kdlockyer]

Loving your trip so far guys. I'm planning to go through Indonesia at some point, (Used to live there) and ride through Russia as well. Guessing you chaps have put things on hold until the pandemic runs its course, are you staying in Thailand/Burma until you can travel again? Really looking forward to more episodes.

[@wyattblessing7078]

Hey guys, I'm digging your videos. I'm wondering what drone you guys were using? Awesome, quality video and it moves pretty fast.

[@joubertfp]

Great content and editing James and Jay! Thanks for sharing, hope to do a similar trip one day. Who is originally from my home country South Africa?

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi mate, im glad you're enjoying it. Jay is the South African and he moved to Aus in his teens.

[@derricksinfield6477]

Loving the video’s lads but one thing I don’t like and that’s the jealousy lol 😂 why am I here and your out there on your bikes 🏍 I want to do it as well 😭😭😭 hopefully one day I will. Anyway have fun and I’ll put you up anytime just let me know when your in the UK 🇬🇧 take care 👍🏼

Are you guys still on the road, not seen much of your trip lately.

Cool video. Dengue is pretty crap

[@Kenkalsi]

Farrang? Farrangi? Same words in old India.

[@jonathanmichaels8331]

What happened to the rest of the episodes?

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi Jonathan, life and travel got in the way but we did make it all the way to London somehow and the next video should be out shortly. James

[@TravelThailand8]

25 baht for a can of drink from the hotel fridge is not expensive. And the military presents is because of a small gorilla war going on with Malaysia. It will never end. You can pay almost any small business or hotel for look after the bikes

[@syahazli]

What happened to your journey guys??..

[@Northandleftabit]

Hi, we made it but editing on the road became too hard and time consuming however we're back onto it now and the next vid should be out this month. Thanks for watching

[@syahazli]

@@Northandleftabit glad to hear that, i found that your journey and how you capture it are so interesting....understood how hard it is to capture evything on video and edit it ...but you journey were too prescious to be left without been documented and shared to the rest of the world. Looking forward to watch you next video. Appreciate you sharing...whic for me just a dream which i dont think I can make it in my whole life.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

They are deleting everything. even my thumbs up.

How did you get money for this?!?
