Motovlogger Meetup, Norden 901 WABDR Scouting, Bike Show: ‪@PNWDualSport‬ Summer Opener, Part 2

Seems like the boys are a little bit more alert today. That's how Canadians do it. Thank you Amanda for putting together this very professional event. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, I think we're done. I think we're done. You go fellas. It got in my mouth. Stay on target. The Norton just lost. Bag meals? Nah. We only have two. This is Tim's fault, but I blame Travis. Previously on Lost. We are headed out to the Pacific Northwest Dual Sport Summer Opener. Oh, we are definitely going into a field. Cheers. They applauded for us. There it is. The cave is definitely filled with lasers. I feel significantly less badass. He's like MacGyver. Thanks guys for getting me here. Literally Paul has not moved in about 30 seconds. It's a little bit like Michael Jordan playing one-on-one with a bunch of junior high kids. You have excellent taste in bikes, sir. Okay, I'm filming helpfully. It's going, it's going. Goal! You make an excellent point. And now, the conclusion. It's working as well as when I make a fire with that. Hey! That's how Canadians do it. Is it a thing that you talk about or a thing that you do? No, it's a thing you do. Long winter nights, dude. I should just have you explain all this on camera. No. Chris is just explaining the ins and outs of a Mazola party, which is a Canadian thing, that you can look up on your own. Anyway, it's morning. Survived the night. I'm feeling much better this morning than yesterday. Seems like the boys are a little bit more alert today too. We're not as hungover. I can't think of a clever word for it because I haven't had any of this yet. Today is the Pacific Northwest MotoVlogger meetup. We had some minor fears that it may not happen because of the weather, but it looks like it's just going to be a drizzle today, which is nothing. It's the same as nothing, basically, for us. So, cheers. Good morning. Thumbs up. That's how I know you're cheersing me back, is if you hit the thumbs up button. Every time there's a thumbs up on a video, I take a drink because I just assume that someone's cheersing me back. That's why I go through so much liquid. You're essentially buying me a shot when you hit the thumbs up button. It's a drinking game. Yeah, it is. He's very used to the feeling of being hungover. I mean, I'm not not used to it. All right, we're about to head out to the MotoVlogger meetup with Amanda and Chris between us since he's not on call. We don't actually know where we're going, but I just talked to Kyle because I saw he had a camera on his helmet or Barricade, I think he said his name is. He knows where we're going, so we're just going to follow him. I didn't ask if we could follow him. We're just going to do it. No, you got to redo that. Yeah, it won't be fake at all this time. This is so genuine. It's touching. This is how we do it. I didn't know you were going to be here. We're all here to video each other. It's the only place we don't have to be like idiots when we're all pointing cameras at each other. Everybody understands that if you don't, you shouldn't be here. What's your channel? Dewey Rides. I'll link that for you. I'm going to link a lot of channels in this video. Thank you. Yeah, for sure. It's good to meet you. What the hell is this? It is pouring rain eight miles from here and has been all morning. Welcome to my pocket. Yeah, thank you for that. This is Justin. What's your channel? SmokeyDaVan. SmokeyDaVan, I'll link that. Hashtag Van Life. And Motorcycles. Damn, at the same time? At the same time. Wow, see, that's everything I love all at once. Yeah, definitely. Just leaving my stickers here next to some local artisan has created a mural of some kind. I think it's two fuel barrels in a large silo of some... That's what I'm guessing. It's some kind of farm implement mural. Thank you, Amanda, for putting together this very professional event. Thank you. And how professional we've all been this whole time. So professional. Wish there was more coffee, though. I don't. I think there was a perfect amount of coffee, because you're very thoughtful to have brought any. Anyway, thank you for doing that. Good to see you guys know her. You're already following her, but you know it's in the description just in case. Because I know how lazy you guys are. Because I'm the same. I'm the same. I would never say that about you. You're trying to steal my audience right now? Maybe. You know that it's possible, again, this comes up every time, to be subscribed to two channels at once. It is possible. We can share. But I'm better. And I'm so humble. That's all I'm saying. You're right. You are better. They should subscribe to you. They should. Well, thank you for making time to come here. Oh, I know. I mean, yeah. I was eight miles away, so it was a pretty huge imposition to get over here. It was raining when we came, so that's good. Yeah, so we'll do it again next year. Yeah. Or even more people. And you can come, too. You can come, too. Yeah. Well, that was a fun time at the Motovlogger meetup. Good to see Amanda and Tall Man, MightyBee360, all those guys. But we're going to head out, because the Wabder comes right through Packwood, so we're just going to go see what it looks like right now, because we're going to actually come ride it in less than a month. So that's where we're headed right now. Okay, I'm good. All right. Highway legal vehicles only. Guess what? Sorry about the wind noise, everybody. It's goggles time. Well, we're officially on the Wabder. Officially. Oh, waterfall. Nice. Picture spot. Look at this down here. Oh, let's not go that way. Lots of fun water slide, though. We've come up quite a bit. That's why all the switchbacks. Beautiful. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest. Tim just found some gold. Oh, sick. Riding with Tim is like finding gold around every corner. Pretty cool. This is why we do it. Rain or shine. To see stuff like this. And stop and appreciate it. Wasn't he just saying just yesterday his boots are no longer fully waterproof? Yes. I actually prefer fast gravel sitting down on this bike. I can lean it farther. But there's a bunch of **** like this. So maybe not. Oh, bike's coming. Just hitting these huge potholes at 50 and this thing barely notices. Oh, big potholes at the end of that straight thread. Big one. A little more. That's not getting any better. That's good because I'm going to blow out my shock wanting to do it now while it's under warranty. Cool bridge. That's pretty. I like to stop and look at stuff, man. That's why we're here. I love this thing. It's fun. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're bobbing, man. You're calling ***. It's a **** blast. Oh, I got a little close. I forget how wide this bike is compared to my others. Oh, washboard, dude. Pretty rocky. And then there's a log. You're going to have to ride over it, but it's not a log. It's a stick. Oops, no. We got some snow. Really? Already? Not on the road. Just on the side. We knew we were going to hit the snow. Oh, we may be turning around. Well, that was our goal, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think we're done. I think we're done. It never gets better. Like, sure, it'll be fine, and then there'll be more. That's always what happens. Oh, he's going for it. Looks like we're going to be helping push dinner. Look at him go. Chris is not stopping for the snow. He's like those ADV bikers. Neither is Tim. He's just going. You go, fellas. On my DRZ, I'd be right behind him. I hope Tim's all right. Here we go. Head away. Here we go. That was a big one. Oh, Tim did it again. Damn it, Tim. Oh, he's hitting all those puddles. It got in my mouth. I've got my visor cracked. No, it's hilarious. I'm the dumbass riding on this hind quarter instead of staying back. Damn it. Now he's throwing rocks at me. Tim's got his legs up on his tank. Tim. He's riding like he's reclined. Ladies and gentlemen, AKA Timmers, please go follow him on Instagram for more Tim shenanigans. Damn it. He was just showering me in gravel. Oh, I'm sure he is. He's lining it up. Stay on target and then goosing it. Stay on target. He's hit me in the chest like 12 times. We're back at camp. Ready to enjoy some beverages, some dinner and an interesting evening. Also, Tim stole a bunch of campfire wood for us because Tim is the real MVP. We are back at camp. We survived. Got up the Wabner as far as we could. It's a little bit discouraging that the snow is so low, but I guess we've seen a 20-mile section, so we'll know what we're getting ourselves into. Critters is like chomping stuff up because we're going to cook food in two hours. You know? He plans ahead. And, you know, I'm literally going to pull the chicken out, throw it on the grill and season it on the grill. Slap some sauce on it and call it good. Critter is cooking up kabobs. He's actually preparing it. We're not even going to cook for a little while because he's some kind of rock star. He already seasoned up all the seasoning stuff. He's making it happen. This is his last night in the States. It's my last night in the States, so I'll slave and cook for you. He's going to send us off. You should subscribe to this guy. He's awesome. Also, it's stupid that he's leaving and he should move here. That's it. The bike show is about to begin. Let's take a look at what's on display. The actual, honest to goodness Dakar bike that the American Rally Originals are running is here. Dude, he brought this thing over and just lifted it up on the stand like it was nothing. Like, that was an impressive machine. Almost as impressive as the TW200. Almost. Are they twins? There's a glitch in the matrix. The first award is loudest exhaust. Can you tell? Loudest motorcycle. What's your name? I'm Tanner. Tanner! I love your medal. Thank you. Congratulations, buddy. The Norton just lost coolest bike at the show to a freaking Dakar bike. How is that fair? How much did that bike cost, do you think, Tim? A Dakar bike? Yeah. At least $30. Yeah, I would say at minimum $30. Closer to $70,000. Yeah, $70,000. That's still more than $30. So we're back at camp. We just finished the bike show. The awards were done. Now we're about to start cooking. So, Ben's got his chicken in a bag. And I've got the kebabs ready for the fire. Should be good. Yeah. And the more cameras on the food, the better it tastes. That's right. That's a millennial thing. I don't know, I'm not one. Chris is cooking up the rest of the kebabs on my grill. That's looking good. This is good camping food, dude. Bag meals? Nah. There's my kebab. There's the chickens I just pulled off. They're delicious. If I do say so myself, and I do say so myself, I just said it. You heard it. We decided to move under the pop-up again with the propane fire because it's raining a lot and the smoke was filling up. Of course, the second we stop and move, it's not filling up the pop-up anymore. But it was. We couldn't even sit around the fire over there. Because bushcraft. Yeah, we bushcrafted this fire pit. There you go. We cast it ourselves. I just want to point out that we're really roughing it here, okay? Like, we're the ultimate moto camper because look, we only have two fires. Right. We only have two. Yeah. Not one. Not three. Only two. And I would explain to you the convoluted thought process that led to this. But... Why? We're just dumb. We were trying to get out of the smoke of the one fire so we started the other one but then Tim wouldn't let the other one die. And now we have two fires and my pop-up is melting. And we're all getting smoked out anyway. So, yeah. I don't even know. All I know is it's Tim's fault but I blame Travis. You're welcome. Yeah. Okay. That's the update. It's about 1130. It was an eventful evening. Saw the bike show hung out by the fires. We did eventually go down to one fire. We shut off the propane when we were trying to save it for the morning but hanging out with the boys. Good night. But it's late and old men need their sleep so I'm going to bed. See you guys in the morning. Good night. Good morning, friends. We survived the night yet again. And today is the last day so I'm going to slowly start thinking about packing up but first coffee. First coffee then thinky. That's all I got. It's the saddest part of every trip. Everybody's packing up. Chris is almost ready to head back to Canada. Check out his setup on his 250L. Look at this. This guy all the way to Canada and back on a 250L. Don't let anybody tell you you can't tour on the bike you have because here he is doing it with his crazy full setup. It's been an honor and a joy to meet and hang out with you. Sorry you're not hanging out longer but we'll catch up with you next year. It's been amazing. You guys are following this guy, Critter Moto here on YouTube and on Instagram so obviously I'll link that for you. Any final thoughts on your time here in the Pacific Northwest? Final thoughts? Man, what a great time. It is now going to become an annual pilgrimage for sure. Any other final thoughts? Maybe just don't forget to be excellent to each other. That's a good one. Thank you.
