Final Ride video for Vietnam is online

Hello all,

So the last video of the riding tour has been posted online.

Checkout Episode 16.

I still have some other Vietnam footage to create about 4-6 videos yet, but not sure when I will get time to do that.

I will be leaving in just a few days to start the next adventure and will post an update with more details the day prior to my departure.

Catch ya down the road!

New Vietnam Video and Summer Ride plans

Hello all,

I finally got time to finish the next video in the Vietnam series.  Getting close to the end of the riding tour, only 2 more videos for it, but still have another 5 at least to complete the trip.

Check out Episode 15

Also excited to announce the next chapter in the Wandering adventures is very close.

My house has completed the sale, funds are where they should be and I am finishing a last few personal things I need to complete.

I will be getting the last maintenance on the bike done tomorrow and then will need to purchase some additional gear and figure out how I want to pack the bike and decide what I really need to take and what is probably not needed.

Current plan is to depart on the summer trip around the 5th - 7th of May, should have everything ready by then I hope.

I will be heading north out of Arizona into Utah, then continue northward into Idaho, then across into Oregon before heading north again into Washington.

I currently plan to stop around Orem on the first night, and then again somewhere south of the border with Canada in Washington the 2nd night.  Going to just pull some long days and get into the more northern parts before I slow down.  I will worry about the lower states next year.

Once into Canada, will try to get up into the center of BC in 1 or 2 days, then will be heading north toward Alaska, but at this point my route will be more random and slower, decide along the way sometimes where I want to go next.

Once I reach Alaska I will spend some time exploring and will write that part of the trip up later!

Hope you will follow along with the YouTube, Blog and Facebook outlets for the content and updates as the trip progresses.

Catch ya down the road!

New Video today in Vietnam series.

Hello all,

So I have finally had some time to get another video up for the Vietnam series. 

Check out Episode 14.

Been crazy busy with moving and getting my house listed for sale, but things are moving along nicely in that area, and things are looking good right now for my summer travel schedule.

Hopefully will be getting more videos up in the coming weeks as I am trying to close out some of the older trips before I start getting new footage.

Keep watching the YouTube channel for the new stuff.

Catch ya down the road!

Another Vietnam Video!

Hey All,

Put up another video from the Vietnam/Laos trip.

This video is where we cross back into Vietnam.

Episode 13

Check it out and like or comment your thoughts.

Lots going on behind the scenes with me, but too many things to settle before I start talking about upcoming projects.

Look for some updates over the next few weeks and some larger announcements in coming months!

Catch ya down the road!

Back to the videos!

Hey all,

So had some busy weeks here and just could not get time to work on videos, but managed to pull the next one together over the last few days in between other tasks.

Episode 12

This day we visit a cave, then get stuck at roadblock, then lots of miles just to reach a town near the border so we can cross the next day.

Few scenic spots along the way, but mostly just nice cruising, even got some good speed for a few miles when I had to catch up to the group after I stopped for some photos.

Hopefully will be able to get the rest of this trip up in the next few weeks, and will try to start working on other trips as well from the past.

However, there will be several new trips this year and I am going to attempt to get blog and video updates online in a more real time fashion (going to try to stay within 1-2 weeks from the actual event.

Look forward to much more content starting this summer!

Catch ya down the road!

New Episode for Laos.

Hello,

Finally had time to finish the next episode.  Another fairly short one as most of today was a long ride on mostly nice pavement with flat lands around us and not too many great views (though when we got them, the views were amazing!).

Episode 11

Take view, like it, comment your thoughts, and subscribe and share it if you think someone else would enjoy it.

Almost done with Laos and then we will head back in to Vietnam, so stay tuned!

Till then,

Chris

Episode 10 for Vietnam/Laos is up.

Hello,

Today I was able to get another video done.  Was a short day and not as much content was filmed, and I tossed out a lot of hit due to dirty lens or just repetitive roads with no crazy things going on :)

Also failed to film much off the bike this time, already making notes on all the mistakes and oversights I have seen in putting the India and Vietnam trips together.  Lots of things to change on future trips to get a better quality experience for you.

So here is the video - Episode 10

Quick ride to the capital of Laos, a visit to a museum connected with an organization that deals with victims of landmines and such and a solo ride across the city to visit a spot that was on my list of place to go see some day.

Hope you enjoy.

Chris

Episode 9 for Vietnam/Laos is ready

All,

We are back on the road with todays video in Laos.

Episode 9

We leaven Luang Prabang and ride to see some waterfalls before heading south on a minor highway that is still unpaved and a bit rough in spots.

We make a few stops to rest and pick up stuff before hitting the main highway which crosses the Mekong and heads south toward our hotel in Pak Lay.

The road is rough and dusty again, but mostly uneventful day.

Look for the next video in a few days hopefully.

Chris

Episode 8 has been published.

Hey,

So cranked out another episode today, this one was an easy win as it was not a ride day, so less footage to sort through.

Episode 8

Today we had a day off the bikes to rest, and took a boat ride up the Mekong river to a few stops and back.

We then just wandered around the city on our own or on occasion in groups.  Did not do much filming of that stuff regrettably, but it is what it is.

Will hopefully have the next one ready in a few days.

Till then.

Chris

Vietnam/Laos trip Episode 7 now online.

Hey all,

I finished up the video for Episode 7 of the 2024 Vietnam/Laos motorcycle trip last night.

Uploaded today, so go check it out.  Lots of content left on this trip, not even half way through yet, though the last 10 days of trip were not filmed as much, so likely combine those days.

For now more riding footage in the hills of Laos and plenty of stops and talking about things.

Will hopefully keep a steady pace and get these videos out sooner than later!

Till next time.
