This is the third part of our trip from Central Florida to Prudhoe Bay Alaska.
This video takes place over 5 days because there was a lot more to see as we were finally in Alaska.
We did the trip on our used Suzuki V-strom 650 motorcycles. We had an arraignment of luggage, the main system was a Caribou luggage system with Pelican cases. We both also had Givi top chases for storing things like clothing and lighter weight items. We used a cheap Colman Carlsbad tent which held up fairly well overall.
Check back for the final video, part 4 to be posted soon.
Thank you for watching!
Love the videos! Thought there'd be a part 4, what happened with that?
I really enjoyed these ... but no part 4 :(
Great video series Eric! Is part 4 coming out sometime? 👍🏻🍻🏍🇺🇸
Great job documenting a great ride!
Thanks for bringing your adventure into my living room.
Yes I was really looking forward to Part 4 😢
Excellent work, Mr. Fling. Too bad more people haven't discovered this yet.
Diversity means all of us…All of the time! -Great shirt, great videos, great narration and, great footage! Thanks!
This is great. I live in Homer. My brother and I were to ride to Ct this past summer. Covid put the kabosh on that.
We’ll try again in 2022. We do have a great time riding around Ak. Love the long daylight days.
Looking forward to seeing #4 I'm headed to Alaska in May/June on a 2017 Victory Cross Country Tour.
Dudes! You rode the entire Dalton leaving at Noon, got all this great footage AND used a drone. Props guys! Big props.
I'm glad you noticed just how crazy we where! Helps when the sun doesn't set!
You use the term "fabricate" very loosely. I approve. 👍
Really enjoying the vids. Looking forward to #4!
Thank you for sharing your story! It was absolutely wonderful and inspiring for us to get out there and explore.
Very nice. Well captured.
Nice story
Thumbs up for you guys.
Thank you very much!
Alaska is awesome , hope you get to make it back someday Eric
great video!!!!!!
I just found this yesterday. i really enjoyed your narration, photograph and attitude
Thanks for sharing these with us! 👍🏻
Really enjoyed your positive attitude throughout the video.
My goodness yet another awesome video. I will totally share this with everyone I know that rides
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos!
Epic journey! Looking forward to part 4 🙏
Enjoyed all the parts, keenly waiting for part 4!
I crashed a couple days after this video ended. I have more footage that I should post but it was a hard time mentally and physically. (I was okay, I could walk and no broken bones)
@@DaddyEric222 Hopefully you get better soon!
Nice wildlife footage .Amazing that never ending daylight up their .
Incredible journey guys. Thanks for documenting this, really enjoyed all the material you provided.
watching again with my moring coffee. love your shirt about "diversity". Any plans for more motorcycle adventures/videos?
Great trip, landscape, narrations every thing in this video is awsome. Greeting from Patagonia Argentina
Just found your videos. Go Knights!!
Well done. Planning our own trip to Deadhorse. Thanks for sharing!
Nice ride , nice video ! Happened to be on the Dalton only a day or two ahead of you. Rode up from Penna on my Super Tenere.
Another great episode! Thank you for bringing us along on the ride!
Enjoy watching. Thanks for sharing😀.
Great trip and story. Can’t wait to see the rest. Can you touch on number of days, miles, average miles per day, fuel-lodging-food costs, repairs, how many times you camped-hoteled-friends/family? I took a trip with my wife and son after his HS graduation. 26 days from Tampa to Cali and back. Truck and two bikes. Trip of a lifetime. Not as far as Alaska. Now I am ready to do something again.
Ride safe.
Goos stuff guys! Thank you for sharing.
Compliments on your videos, Eric. Good footage, and I'm enjoying your narration also. I'm getting ready to do a cycle trip from Atlanta, out west. Haven't quite finalized my route and timetable, but I think, north to south through Idaho, Utah, and Arizona, for a visit with family in Arizona. I'm intrigued by Moab, Monument Valley, and all. So looking forward to that. So... lookin forward to your next video. Take care.
Video looks great...but, lol, sounds like it was made for church camp viewing. Godspeed and ride safe, gentlemen!
Best vlog from the trip, better when u talk to the camera , no VOs
Great job, I'm a new fan 👍
Amazing adventure, now time to head for the trans labrador
Great job. Enjoyed the videos . Good narration and not to much fluff stuff.
super! watching it in these times is such a relief to me :D :D also love the music!
Love it!
PLEASE post part 4
Damn dude. This is bomb af
i can do this! thanks for show.
You can do it! And I hope you do!
where is the part 4? great video
115,- $ a day for a hotel room. Well dear, that is the same amount for a cheap hotel room here in Denmark. Btw a gallon of gas is 7,5 us$ in Denmark
Awesome ,, I watched through part 3. Just did the Baja peninsula from Yuma Az. to Cabo san lucas and back, in November. Talk about some nice beaches for camping"" I have the trip posted up to about day 6 of 12 days. on my CZcams channel ( Baja on my 650 KLR herb harster ) I need to learn how to use a video editor. Any suggestions ?
nice!
Not sure what happened to part 4 but I love the dji and the bike i hope we get it
Basically I crashed about 3-4 days after this video ended. I do plan to post what I have however, I'll start editing it after I finish the TAT series.
great trip guys! very well done. this is one of my bucket list and hope to do it soon.
btw, great drone footage. can you share which model you were using?
Dji mavic
Just stumbled across this series and I'm loving it! Planning on selling my SV650 to fund a DL650. Could you do a video on the supplies that you took for the trip? Did you find you had enough baggage for all your kit? I noticed one whole saddlebag of yours was just full of camera gear which must have made it tricky.
Hi Eric, great videos! Any plans to upload pt4?
I’m going to finish the TAT video series first. Then my plan is to put a full Alaska video out with parts 1-4 in one video. I wish youtube would monetize me already, I still have no financial incentive to make these videos...
I love how u documented this trip. I was just starting to type this and ask how you got the footage of the two of you riding from overhead when the video showed you retrieving the drone. I still wonder how that works. So you send it up in the air and ride and it just hovers catching video????? I guess I am just an old guy 50+ years old with no drone experience. Do you have anymore big trips planned?
That drone actually had an autonomous mode and it will follow me automatically.
@@DaddyEric222 that is really cool. I just discovered your videos. I have enjoyed watching many of them. Do you still tour on your motorcycle? Do you have plans to make any more videos documented your travels? They are well done.
So you dined and dashed :)
No they definitely gave us that meal
Where is the final part? How did you get home?
Great work! Thank you for sharing these. Are those gasoline bottles on the back of your panniers?
Yes they are
yes, where is part 4?
Overall thoughts on the vstrom? Did it do everything u needed?
Great footage. What tankbag is that?
What happened to. Part 4 ?
What happened to part 4?
Part 4?
Awesome video and editing! When will part 4 be up?
Well I'm going to finish posting videos from the TAT trip first. Then I will put all 4 parts of the Alaska trip together as one video and post that. Time frame depends on work schedule.
Eric Fling sounds good man! My little brother and I are planning a similar trip. I like your editing style. Most long motorcycle vids get boring real fast. Keep up the good work!
where part 4 huh?
Hey Eric, great video. It looks like you had a pretty incredible trip. What tires did you run in Alaska and how did they perform? I'm looking to be making a similar trip on the Canadian side of the border (Yukon and NWT)
Matt had the Michelin Anakee 3's which we both think was the better tire. I was running the Metzeler Tourance's, they worked well but the Michelin worked just as well and lasted quite a bit longer. Matt did the whole thing on one set.
@@DaddyEric222 thanks!
Did they not make it?? Wheres part 4?
how has your V-strom help up so far?
Perfectly! Until the crash, but Mathews is still working today! Although he doesn't ride much anymore
There is no doubt that I made a good decision of buying a vstrom…
Nice footage. Which drone are you using?
DJI Mavic, the old one.
Hey Eric what tires did you 2 run
Did you guys ever wish you had the V-Strom 1000?
Never, it would have been heaver, gotten worse milage all for more power we didn't need. And it would have cost more upfront.
@@DaddyEric222 exactly what i was thinking
Great job guys!
To me most of the video was hey look at me what about motorcycle problems chain issues flat tires things that most of us are interested in
Great trip...quite the adventure and NOTHING like doing it on a motorcycle! Noted the diversity shirts, don't forget diversity NEEDS to have some RESPONSIBILITY which is why there is a problem. No one that I know of wants anything less, but there has to be a commitment from everyone. You are young and probably college educated in a way that presents fantasy and not reality, just saying.
