Man, it doesn't matter which subject you turn your attention to Juan - little planes, big planes, boats, bikes, dams, forest fires .... - it is ALWAYS bang-on interesting and informative. Fabulous work. Thank you.
Two guys with so much knowledge
It should be Jim not Jenny …🤔😏..?
Nice to see you on another bike trip with Jenny. She knows so much about motorcycles. Like your new bikes.
Always good when Jenny's on.....👌👌👌
Itchy Boots (CZcams) is on a Honda Rally 300 headed north. Now in Baja from Ecuador going to Alaska.
I Rally Raided my BMW g310gs because of your past video with this nice lady.
That’s my home country and I’ve done those roads many times, only once on a motorcycle and that was 35 years ago. I recognized ‘Wallace immediately. Have a great fun trip. Wish I was there.
Wallace really looked sharp!
I recognized Wallace right away!
Wow, Jenny sure knows her stuff! Great to see you two on the trails again. Be well and have fun!
You’re at the start of the Hiawatha Trail Juan. It’s a don’t miss !!!
Finally Juan is back in the saddle again, it is good to see Jenny again as well.
Jenny is so well spoken! Love listening to her and she knows a fair amount about bikes! Respect.
Noraly from Itchy Boots is riding this bike from South America to Alaska. She is currently in Mexico, about to enter Calif. She says tires (rubber not wheels) can change the seat height by 5 cm. Her only problem is getting parts in Latin America for the 300.
I watch her ! Love her videos.
I think you mean 5mm
@@motomitchuk4384 5 mm isn't much, I wouldn't think 5 mm would be noticeable, 5 cm / 50 mm sounds a lot, but at least you'd notice that. 🤔
Can't wait to travel with you again! Thanks for taking us along!
Wow between you and itchyBoots, I have never had such an urge to take off on a Honda 300 across a continent !
Love Itchy Boots !
Itchyboots and Jenny would be a great collab
I rode street bikes and dirt bikes most of my life until I got married and had children. I turned in my motorcycle card for the family (still have my license.) My favorite was my Honda XR650, I rode everywhere, mud, snow, highway 10. This video makes me want to go out and get an enduro. I’m 61, children are grown, why not?
I am feeling the same way at 53 . Agreed on the 650r but I think I would switch to a ktm instead I believe they have better options. But would need a Saddle upgrade as they believe their seats should be made out of granite From the factory.
I'm 48, I ride mostly offroad on a 300L. One of my riding buddy's is 72 or 73, he loves his WR250R. Those are great bikes if you're tall enough.
@@doobielawson702 Any regrets with the 300L? Wished you had the Rally version? I had a 250 and really interested in the 300 now that I have seen it.
@@jcheck6 no regrets at all. I like the 300 much more. The tranny and clutch are much better. I am happy with the non-rally version as I like to keep the bike feeling as light and nimble as possible. I don't moto camp. Most of the time we trailer to an area and go from there. I think if you liked the 250 you will like the 300 more. I did get the ABS version. I haven't turned it off even when riding offroad. The rear end never tries to pass me up, especially on steep declines. I have loved the bike so far.
@@doobielawson702 Thanks for the quick reply Doobie!! You ride like I do, no camping and trailer the bike. Spent the last couple of hours watching reviews of the Rally version wondering if I would really need the larger tank. Thanks again.
Jenny is a wealth of knowledge , and interesting to listen to. 👍
Yes she a pro
I love your motorcycle videos I used to live in Truckee for years.
I'm sure Itchy Boots will be mentioned multiple times in the comments. Rally Raid should reach out to her when she gets to the USA as she is the perfect real world test bed for their CRF300 products 😊.
JUAN, YOU AND JENNY HAVE A GREAT TIME, BE SAFE, CAN'T WAIT FOR A UPDATE...
Juan, you need to get up with " Itchy Boots ( Noralay )" on her way to Alaska !
She makes me smile. How awesome is it to meet a biker lady. Her knowledgeable is appreciated. Thank you nice lady and yes that is from Smokey and the bandit Sheriff Justice
Fantastic JB! Great video. I bought a BMW G310GS based on your last work with Jenny - and it's been awesome! Keep the adventure going! Thank you JB and Jenny!
A few years ago on a MC ride from Ohio to California, I rode (in late summer) across the northern border states and south down through Montana and Wyoming. Stayed in Red Lodge Montana one night. The next morning the ride over the Continental Divide was just unbelievable. The Divide still had huge “boulders” of ice on it. I’m taking that route again this year -I can’t wait to see all its beauty again.
Jenny is an amazing rider and person! I had the privilege of meeting and talking with her at the CA HUTM.
Very glad that you found the time to go ridding with jenny again and enjoy your shelfs.
This is the fourth channel I subscribe to that's had a CRF300L and CRF300 Rally based episode in the last two days.
Let me guess. Itchy Boots.
I love this -- motorcycle rider myself (primarily utilitarian). And your and your wonderful companions' experiential take with profound subject knowledge -- just wonderful.
Wow you 2 are so well equipped for your ride. I like all the explanation about your gear. You would make "Mr. Know-It-All " proud .
great video update Brownie have fun and cant wait to see where you are at the next one !
Great intro. I've ridden all over Western Montana leading the Best of Montana 1000 dual sport rides for 10 years. You've got some great riding ahead of you!
I am extremely envious, you are so lucky to be able to experience this type of riding. Unfortunately, as a disabled rider my off road days are long gone, but boy,what I'd give to do what you are doing. Safe travels and enjoy the amazing locations you pass through.
Wow, what a great adventure! I really enjoy the on trail updates. Thanks to both of you for allowing us to come along!
Hopefully ITCHY BOOTS will see this soon.
Wow...You're livin' the dream!!!
... Just subscribed w/the bell ... 4/11/2023. I'm on the east coast, MD. and my brother is in Montana.
He just got a KTM 890 Adventure. Going to send him a link to this video. Looking forward to more of your content.
Thank you
. Jeff .
Oh, so cool to see more motorcycle stuff from you Juan! I love all your videos but the moto stuff is my favorite because I can get out there and ride too! So much fun to see Jenny again too! Thank you so much, both of you! God bless you!
Spent 4.5 months last year doing 12,500 mile on a 2014 CRF 250 doing the western half of the U.S. Good to see you back on the trail and enjoy seeing the modes. The 300 is definitly a nice improvement over the 250, could have use the extra power in the wind. Enjoy your riding videos, and am looking forward to more. If you feel like it I took over 60 videos of my trip last summer and have them posted on CZcams under the name Pat McGuinness. They get better as I go along. Aloha Pat
Watch Itchy Boots, Noraly & Alaska her Honda CRF 300L on their way from South America ( currently in Baja Mexico ) to Alaska.
One tough Bike and even a tougher Rider.
Great!..love the aviation stuff but I found your channel years ago as we share the same KTM 300 XCW..
Jenny’s Knowledge is quite impressive.
Yes she is pro
you two make a fast moving, informative, entertaining show. thank you.
I agree with Elliot that's definitely the same bike only the Rally version that Itchy Boots uses and has been using for many months now. She finds it a great mix fir on and off road trips!!
All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Greeeeen - with envy... Bikes, and ground, you lucky people!
Watch Itchy Boots, from the Netherlands. She is in Mexico now heading for Alaska on her Honda 300.
Watching Noraly travel the world is pretty great. I’ve been watching her since the first season! She’s in the US already.
Itchy boots just crashed and need some prayers.
@@bluetoast8584 : I saw something on Facebook from her
Sounds like a fantastic trip. Motorcycling never really stuck for me after I learned the basics, but backcountry mountain trips sound amazing. Looking forward to updates.
Awesome stuff Juan! It is so great to see you are part of the Dual Sport/ Adventure Bike Community! So many great people in this sport. Looking forward to seeing you two out riding the BDR in Idaho and Montana. Great rundown of the Honda 300L.
Cheers!
There's a Dutch gal that has one of these but box stock, she bought it in Holland, flew it to Ecuador? and is riding it loaded to Alaska. It is as reliable as a hammer, she changes tires, filters, and oil and hits the starter and goes. When it tips over she can pick it up, pry it out of the mud, it goes over mountains and through the rivers. A very under-rated bike. Great big bikes are for coffee shops and bragging, not off road
Noraly, itchy boots, is one of favorite channels. She is amazing. Speaks Spanish for her solo rides through South amd Central American. And the greatest attitude.
Your BDR riding is how I found blancolirio in the first place. This is the content I most enjoy (not that other content is bad in any way). Build the adventure!
Brilliant to see you meet up, I followed Jenny and Piglet for years on their adventures
Juan I love it when I can line up a landmark building with what your video is revealing. I had never heard of Wallace Idaho. What a lovely small town. I may never visit it physically but being able to see what the town looks like through the lens of Google Maps is quiet the treat. Just getting a snapshot of the history as revealed in Wikipedia shows how our great nation is full of little gems that dot the vast network of roads. You do give us a little sneak peak when you include your audience on your annual get-away-from-it-all trail bike rides.
Have a safe and very fun trip, you two! :)
Have a safe and great trip Juan and Jenny
Hi It is good to see you are expanding your tourist guild to skills out side of Northern California. You make seeing USofA a good experience. Per haps it is distance from Washington DC that helps.
Have fun and enjoy the ride!
Juan, have you watched any of Itchy Boots YT channel. She is riding a CRF300 from South America to Alaska. She rides all over the world. Noraly speaks highly of that bike.
I don't think Noraly's has the Rally Raid suspension
@@Jack-ne8vm Yes I think that is correct. I left her a comment about this video. Seems a lot of good info. If you notice in her vids she seems to struggle getting her leg up and over the seat. Maybe some of these mods could make a difference. The smaller tubeless tires was also very interesting. The way the bike has been performing for her I see her riding it for a few years, she beats it up pretty bad and it keeps ticking.
Excellent Juan!!!
Something else I loved doing besides flying…. Long motorcycle trips!! Especially the western part of the country!!! Montana Wyoming Colorado Idaho…. All the stuff you see and smell… it’s just awesome freedom!!!
Who needs editing, this was great, just like normal conversations. Well done 👍
Thanks for sharing your trip. Have ridden thousands of miles on motorcycles from Honda 90's to Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide the majority of miles on Honda 750 F model.
I recently acquired a '79 CB750-F, and it's turned out to be a lovely bike for long trips. Done about 1500 miles in the last month and I'm just loving it. 👍 Think I'm going to find myself a set of hard bags next so I don't have to strap everything onto the seat in a duffel bag.
@@aussiebloke609 Great bike biggest issue was stretching chains until my brother ran it without oil while I was working in Mexico for a month.
Loved seeing your adventure setup for the bikes, and as soon as I saw your background, I knew that was Wallace, welcome to the neighborhood!
Sweet! Another adventure! Looking forward to your footage! 👍😎👍
I was REALLY hoping this was Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. Don’t go soft on us now, Juan !
I can’t even look , those bikes ruined my Siatica for over 2 years , sitting on those seat closing in on 50 years old was a bad idea . Hurt to sit for so long , finally recovered .
I got rid of my sciatica in six days. How? By doing a ton of press ups. The Bob and Brad Physical Therapy channel can show you how to do them.
@@martharetallick204 I should have done something , therapy anything , but just waited it out like a idiot , 2 years it took , all from my duel sport bike with basically a 2x4 seat .
@@Hawkcrom These guys can help you get that sciatica into the "gone" column. czcams.com/users/BobBrad
I’ve never ridden a motor bike and have no wish to…but listening to Jenny speak about bikes with such knowledge and humorous retorts to the cheeky Juan’s B, keeps me here! I did watch a later vid about your campsite…as I did last year…love seeing the great American ‘outback’. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ
Well, Ive been looking at thew two CRF flavours and I have to say the L model really ticks all the boxes. The suspension upgrade looks like a no brainer. Jenny certainly knows her bikes!
Amazing ⚡⚡👍🇺🇸. Thank you Juan 👍
Sounds like you’re having a blast! Good luck on the remainder of your trip.
Nice to see Jenny again. What a wealth of knowledge.
Thanks Juan for sharing 😀. Happy subscriber 😊! Hope you have a great ride.
Noraly Schumacher (Itchy Boots on CZcams) a Dutch woman from the Nederlands, who speaks English, is on a Honda CRF300L and is in Mexico now heading to Alaska. She has driven the world and now is on the South American route North having already accomplished the South African to Europe portion of her journey. Her beauty, both physical and personality, are infectious. She’s a trained Geologist with an explorers mindset. I watch her every posting. “Let’s Go!” Is her call to arms.
Schumacher is German I think. Noraly's last name is Schoenmaker.
@@rickgpz1209 I stand corrected. In my defense, I only saw it once on all the videos she had posted. Thank You!
@@stephenreese5921 Sorry,but she rides a CRF 300 Rally with bigger fairing and tank capacity than the CRF 300 l.
Greetings from germany 😉
Hi Juan and Jenny great to see you out there in this magical country. These are the most underrated bikes out there. Highly capable. Particularly now they have the Rally Raid Products suspension.
Yeah! Thanks David!
"Cheaper than Chips!" J. Mitchenson.
Awesome video! I grew up in the Idaho mountains a bit south of there and miss riding dirt bikes in that scenery so much. You might go through my hometown on your loop back from Montana. Safe travels and have fun!!!
I really liked your earlier stuff with the CB500, And my goal is to do some of these trips from time to time but now I'm thinking the 300 might be a better bike for a trip like that. Thanks for taking us with you 👍👍
I agree about the 300. I owned a Honda 250 but I think the 300 is just the answer. Something light enough to pick up.
This video contains a lot of very valuable information. Love the suspension upgrades
Great segment! No edit..No problem!!
Sounds fabulous!
Juan love the motorcycle videos hope you can catch up with Itchy Boots on her way to Alaska she’s in Baja on her Honda named Alaska headed your way. Keep up the great content!!
Cheers TA
That looks like a blast!
Get in touch with Itchy Boots , she will be coming your way soon !!! She travels the world alone !!!
2006 Wallace provided a gourmet lunch , and a re aligned rear derailleur hanger repair on ,my last dual suspension Aw some town
Super! I want to go, but ... So great to vicariously experience your trip. See you ... somewhere? 😎
Awesome you are out and exploring. I'm going to do some BDR this fall too, I hope.
Those sausage dogs made me giggle. They were waddling.
Sounds like a great trip, wish I was young enough to do a ride like that. There is another channel I follow "Itchy Boots" and it's a young lady from The Netherlands that rides a very similar bike. She travels around the world on motorcycles and is currently posting videos of her trip starting from somewhere in South America (Chile I think) to Alaska. Her current videos have her somewhere in Baja, Mexico.
Itchy Boots is a channel I can highly recommend! Agreed. 👍
Itchy Boots (Noraly) is an amazing gal. Smart as a whip, down to earth,
and an epic world traveler.
Awesome Bikes! Wish I had one of those when I rode down to central America from Washington State and back....did it on a DR650 but I had a 6 gallon tank with a 350+ mile range.
Itchy Boots should be in your area soon.
@blancolirio check out Noraly from the 'Itchy Boots' channel, she's riding a Honda CRF300L Rally from South America all the way up to Alaska! Prior to this she did 22000km through Africa on a smaller CRF250 model. Maybe you guys can meet up when she's close to Sacramento...
Lol thats cool Juan to see you someplace I have been a dozen times at least, my family used to go to Wallace every summer on the short drive from here in Spokane, WA. Its a cute little town and my mom and grandma (may she RIP) loved going to the antique shops. And I actually have family around Idaho such as close by to Spokane in Post Falls and a little farther south in Lewiston (of course you covered the pilot who crashed there a year ago recently). But I am a Washington Patriot and still love where I live and grew up more.
She's truly articulate.
I have a CRF300L and love it.
Great to see you guys back together Juan, hope you record your trip.👍🏻👍🏻
Almost positive Juan will. He better 🤪
What a team!
There was a ride club who use to come in on the cruise ship.. they rode through the island every november... think they were from LA...
I'm watching the video right now . Sure wish I knew you were going to be in Wallace. I Live about 15 miles West of there. I would have fired up my bike and met you in Wallace. Enjoy the ride.
Godspeed to the two of you.
holy moly she knows what shes talking about very rare
love it up there in North Idaho. Folks are up in Post Falls near Coeur d"Alene
Isn't the CRF300 the same bike that Noralee of the "itchyboots" CZcams creator rides?
Yeah. I want one too.
That’s awesome, Juan! Wallace is BEA-utiful! Dantes Peak locale… happy trails!
You guys should stop by Lochsa Lodge on hwy 12 in Idaho. I'm up here working great food, place to sleep and miles of dirt to ride.
Wow what a great looking bike.
that front brake rotor has my brain working overtime
