- We've faced the Dempster when it's wet and cold, now the reward; the Dempster Resplendent. A gorgeous day, an impressionist landscape and three bikes. It does not get better.
Arctic Challenge Review of the F800GS, R1200GS Adventure and KTM 990 Adventure: www.onewheeldri...
Fantastic. On the agenda next summer. We just got back from 26 days, 23 riding, 10870 km, 17 states, 5 Provinces! We r ready for the Dempster! Love your videos!
So funny now I watch this video again and we can totally relate now...we had crap weather on the Dempster heading out on July 9th 2011 but nice going on the day before. I called my blog post Respect the Dempster! Wicked! Love that we have been there now. Makes me love your video more!
"It's like riding through an oil painting." That's good writing. Well done.
Did the Dempster as far as the Arctic Circle in June 2016 and for two months called it a "trip of a lifetime." Watching this vid.. about six times, I've got to go back again.. hopefully in August.. Great vid, great editing.. really does do justice to an incredible part of the world that every Canadian.. and every Yank who rides a m/c ought to try to experience!
Great video guys. This was a real eye opener! My buddy and I are heading up in July (2022).
Thanks for a great series, Neil (and friends)! I'd bet that 90% of "adventure" riders would qualify this as a truly adventurous trip. One need not venture totally into the wilderness on goat trails to find adventure. Off the tarmac is wild enough for most of us. Keep your videos coming!
Officially added the the list of "Things to Do"
Thanks for the inspiration to explore a part of our country I otherwise would have overlooked.
Now on my bucket list! Got to do it!
@onewheeldrive Oh I can imagine. I haven't even been to a place like that, but I could imagine wanting to go back again.
Thanks for a great, informative and creative series! Love your expression of fondness for your country and the sights that would make Monet's lip quiver with desire to paint it. I don't care what others may say, I appreciate your wit and dry sense of humor. Cheerio!
I love that you captured the essence of riding! Bench racing and numbers don't matter. Really awesome guys.
Thanks for sharing... brings back great memories.I did it July 6/7 2010. Glad I only had 50 mile of that black slick road on the Ogilvie Ridge otherwiseI hit the weather like I won the lottery.
Conclusion on the bikes?? I'm still in love with the R1200GS.
Beautiful place.
Fantastic videos, gentlemen. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Beautiful and exciting video. Thanks!
Looks awesome country,thks for video
@gaskier I'll admit, there were a couple points where we really didn't feel like shooting.
@onewheeldrive didn't cross the AC yet, but below it's pretty laid back tarmac ride :)
Still beautiful country!
The song is called Delirante Planete.
Ricardo Failace La bonne chanson!
WONDERFULL!!! congratulations. great video, very fun to watch. thanks for showing us your country!
@dialdn The chain on the F800GS broke at approximately 8000km. That was the only major issue. Rest was wear and tear. This road is hard on equipment though, the surface is coated with calcium-chloride to firm it up when dry, but it's very corrosive and slick in the wet.
Check the underbar for links to the review of the bikes.
I watched the other two and 'liked' them, so I jumped the gun a little bit and 'liked' this one before it even started playing.
What a beautiful and amazing trip....Congrats!!!!
You guys need to come back
Beautiful colors!
We are heading up north next summer..Dempster, Top of the World, Dalton you name it. Can not wait...40 days to go from our home town of Maple Ridge, BC to the Yukon, NWT, Alaska and back. Question, what boots are you all wearing!
Had not viewed this in a couple of years but as enjoyable as when I first watched. The best written piece of moto-journalism every posted on the Internet, imho. Great job Neil. Makes me very much want to do it again, all the way to Inuvik...
@ToastToGo To be honest editing this the last week or two, I just wanted to hop on a bike and head north again.
Fantastic vid! I (Nancy) just shared it on the MySpectacularNWT FB page. Thanks for showing off this rare part of Canada so beautifully.
wow - reminds me of my last trip to norway - will repeat it and this time go all the way up :)
Excellent video as usual ....keep 'em coming !!
Great video. New bucket list item for me too! One minor suggestion, put the previous and next video links in the description. When watching on the iPad, the links embedded in the videos don't work properly. If they were in the description, it wouldn't be such a chore to locate the next vid in the series. But...that's waaay minor, great stuff overall.
Beautiful country, serious ride!
Stay safe!
I'm in. Probably 3 years away. Nice vid.
I am sure everyone watching this video is into Adventure bikes why did you not tell us the comparison which you like best that's what everyone was hoping to catch
Beautiful. Makes me think it's worth building in a week of rain days just to be able to enjoy clear riding. And - I will be riding my 650 V-Strom that sips gas and gets 60+mpg!!!
cool- great video, and Hi from the Kootenays!
Highly fun ! :) I really wanna ride in silent road like that.... Roads in my country are so crowded
Love your rides, guys!
Awesome ending. You mentioned trying the ice-roads in a comment what happened to that?
Buena aventura y muy buenos videos.
KTM is a bit derpy looking in the front. Cool video series!
@cgobbi Cool. Should be no problem after your snow riding vid!
@mralexbazzi Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vids.
great videos all of them what camera did you use for these and how long did it take to make the whole trip
What year is the GS 1200 in this video?
Loved it! Thank you
Never mind Canadians having to see the Dempster, I think we all need to :-)
One day............
magifica avetura , full of images and life. how long it took to make the trip
Beautiful vid..
@maximussmirnoff Thanks. Good fun to do.
What happened with the headlamp of the 800?...I drove in gravel roads a lot and never broke the grass..
love the video, i would like to see you do this to your hypermotard :D
So the clip is all about the Dumpster then.
Great vid! Can you tell me what cameras that you used for filming? Thanks!
@lamilumag If you've the weather for it, may as well. It's a bit of a rough ride to get to the Arctic Circle in North America, what's Norway's route like?
I can tell you .... it's paved the entire distance, all the way to the most northerly point on continental Europe, which is the very Northern tip of Norway
What music do you play at 5:30? Can not French, but it sounds good!
@dbauernf Yep, no disagreement there!
What sort of camera equipment did you guys use?
What french music is playing? Do you know the singer or band name?
tks!
Great vid!
GET INTO MY BELLY...lol
NOW WHAT would the goodie, goodie people of this planet say to that Neil ?...
Good times on the bike
hi
Which Bike do you think was better on trip between GS and ktm???????
what is that music? the French song?
Dumb that there was no mention of how the bikes compared to each other.
What's the name of the intro music?
What is the name of the song please?
@vanchb14tube Great ride, I highly recommend it.
@serguti The R1200GS Adventure kicked up a rock the size of a babies head... unfortunately the F800GS caught it.
Lucky bastards! ;)
Dear ktm prettyfie your your bike...... that is all.
Glad you have a real gas can as opposed to one of those pieces of crap posing as one.
