😁 Happy to be a bad influence on you! Ha! Thanks Carol MC!

You can take credit for being the first to identify the car! 🙂 Thanks Silk!

Yeah, a nice find! And thank you!

Yep, Austin Healey Sprite. Better known as a Frog Eyed Sprite. 1958 - 1961 I think.

Thanks Mighty Beanstick! Love your username! 😁

Now that video was a big pleasure to put together and share, so you're quite welcome. 🙂

😆

That's so cool, and I'm certain you did see me. Hard to mistake that helmet and bike! Hope you had a blast at Jim Creek!

Exciting! Any adventures in the works? I don't know a lot about Australia's hotspots for ADV motorcycling.

@@KARMAkazeMoto We are such a big country with many different types of terrain, many places for ADV motorcycling. I'm planning to go on a week or 2 long adventure to the centre of Australia soon, but first i want to get the grips with the Himalayan first and get it all broken in. Just waiting for my dealership to order it in and they are going to add the adventure pack (so the RE side panniers and an engine protection bar). I'm pretty keen. Maybe one day you can come to Australia do some adventuring!

@@matthewpiper4328 I certainly hope so! Enjoy that machine of yours when you get it. 👍🙂

It's a big place and takes a lot of time to explore. You at least need 3 weeks, minimum.

Great to hear G Hardi! Thanks for the feedback, and cheers from Alaska!

Thanks Ladybug ADV! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! 👊

I never miss any of your video. Even today I was busy. It's 2:30 am here and I just finished watching the video.

Thanks Ben! Short statement, but a big compliment. 🤝😁

Glad you liked it. Thanks!

And to think I debated if the moto crowd would get bored! Happy to share something new and interesting. Thanks Rob!

Thanks Jeff!

Thank you Sir, much appreciated. 👍😁

Thanks! How's the drone flying coming along?

@@KARMAkazeMoto Slowly, just one flight out. I need to get my cameras set up on proper mounts too. Had a great 350 mile round trip of the west of Scotland last weekend but the footage is too jumpy. I could maybe edit it for a short scoop.

Thank you so much. 😀 Was a really fun day.

Hi Mike. Really glad you got another view. Just rode through Healy a few days ago. They have a Three Bears grocery store now! 🙂

@@KARMAkazeMoto What has the world come to!

@@mikek2218 😆

Je vous remercie! Et bonjour de l'Alaska! Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté. C'est bien d'entendre quelqu'un de votre pays. J'ai visité une fois et c'était un voyage fantastique. Veuillez excuser la traduction. 🙂

Thanks again for some kind words! 😊

Do it! You won't regret it!

Thanks Pulkit! 🙂

Thanks Sidhant! It's a wild, mostly-untouched land. 🙂

Excellent, thanks! 🤝🙂

Thanks for the kind words RoyalBob! Glad you liked the mountains. Few of my gifts to Dee work out as well as this one. That flight was a big hit! 😃

Any time! You're very welcome. 👍

Love that! Thanks João! 😃👍

Glad you saw it! Was excited to really showcase the land near home. 🙂

Espero que você visite um dia! Obrigado!

A couple days prior you couldn't see Denali due to smoke from wildfires. We did luck out for sure.

Thanks Leroy!

I have to be honest, after a long, dark winter, I love it! 🙂

My pleasure! 🙂

The amazing thing is that someone could live here their entire life and never know what this terrain actually looks like. I encourage everyone to save up the few hundred bucks to do this trip. 🙂

I think that's true. 🤝🙂

Maybe so, but you wear a kilt! 😃👍 Also, and I'm serious, your videos are more exciting!

Exactly! Alaska is one helluva place to be if you like wild, untouched landscapes. As you say, I need fit in a few more rides before winter hits. Bit rainy today. Have some traveling coming up as well. Running out of riding season.

The land is really astonishing from that vantage point. Never gets old. Thanks for watching Kane. 👍

I can see why you'd want one. Cool little car. A rare sight around here. Cheers from AK!

You'll love it! I bet Norway was really nice.

@@KARMAkazeMoto it is very much like Alaska. Just add 1100 year old "castles and 7-800 year old cathedrals. Would be a great place to go ride....

I think you nailed it with the Austin. 🙂

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Jeff!

YES! Quite worth it, really. 🙂

Try it in the dead of winter, too, for perspective. I was in Fairbanks once in early January, and it was *minus* 30°F at 3:00 pm! Got to see the Northern Lights, though. Whoohoo!

That seems to be the consensus on the car. Cool little ride. Thanks Jason! Was excited to get this one posted. 🙂

Thanks Rider's Diary! I was actually worried it was too long at 20 minutes. 😁

It's a really amazing place. Back in 2008 I sold whatever I could, packed my car, and drove up here from Southern Michigan. Bit of a gamble, but glad I did it. 🙂 Thanks for watching Dayton 675. 👍

I was was captivated by that shadow too! Perfect placement. And the RE was such a lucky addition to the film to maintain the moto theme. I was hoping someone would draw some similarity to the Himalayas. Hey, did your shirt arrive yet?

Thank you Juan! So glad you liked it! 😊

Complete with foam on top. 🙂

I would have liked to talk to him as well. Would have been a fun interview. Glad you got to see how we get long days during summer in the far north. It's the opposite in winter. Mid-winter days get very short.

Glad you liked it Rob! Sprite it is! 🙂

If you ever visit Alaska we'll be sure to get you some root beer Mark! And thanks for the compliment on the video. Much appreciated!

@bmw boxer lower saxony Hallo, ja das ist ja eine schöne Überraschung! Freut mich echt, von dir zu hören. Vielleicht sollten wir uns mal was anderes überlegen, als über die Kommentarspalte bei KZfaq! Ja, ich bin momentan weniger aktiv auf Itchy Boots, habe privat viel um die Ohren durch die Trennung mit meiner Frau, und schaue die Videos auch nur Zeitversetzt!☹️ Dass Noraly dich und Dave blockiert hat, kann ich mir kaum vorstellen, warum sollte sie das tun? Du hast ihr doch sicher kein Hate Speach hinterlassen!! Kann auch sein, dass es an KZfaq selber liegt, da passt ja einiges nicht mehr, auch mit den angezeigten Views und der Abonnenten Anzahl! Du warst in Zwolle?! Ja, du hast es nicht so weit! Schaut Noraly in echt also auch so nett aus! Ich hoffe nur, sie bleibt am Boden und hebt wegen des Erfolges nicht ab. In ihrer Anfangszeit war es ja toll, dass sie noch so oft persönlich geantwortet hat. Aber das ist jetzt bei der Masse der Follower natürlich nicht mehr möglich!😒 Sei's drum! Jedes Motorrad wäre nach der Strapaze runtergerockt. Wir pflegen und hegen unsere Schätze ja nach jeder Ausfahrt, das kann man ja nicht machen, wenn man jeden Tag fährt! Vielleicht können wir uns über Facebook schreiben, wenn du magst. Fände ich echt nett. Ich kenne zwar deinen richtigen Namen nicht,aber du meinen.😉

Was a helluva day for sure! One for the books. Thanks Steve!

I wasn't either! Great little addition to the video. Thanks!

I hope you do. Until then I will share a bit more of the views and seasons here. 🙂

@@KARMAkazeMoto thanks man for replying can't wait see your coming exploring seasons ad nature beauty of Alaska ..I feel it in my veins ..best of luck ..ad I watch all ur videos big fan ....I have a royal Enfield classic 350 .. which is 4 years old ...

Thank you Jose! Glad you liked it! 🙂

Thanks Peter! Not sure if I should encourage you to splurge on the RE or ticket to Alaska. Go for broke! I mean both! 😁

Thanks!

Going strong!

Yup! Shoulda bought Greenland, too, while we were at it! :-)

Absolutely Rui! Glad you liked it!

I think you are correct. 👍🙂

Ha ha! Will do! 😆

@@KARMAkazeMoto so nice I can so easily connect with u sir, thats super, like ur reply made my evening

@@harshavardhanmp2031 Sometimes I can reply right away. Not always, but I try. Have a good evening!

LOL! I know, it's a badge of honor! 😆

Thanks Peter! Sorry I'm just now getting back to this. The Himalayan has been doing great on the highway for me. I don't have any problems. I sometimes push it to its limits, but for the most part cruising within our speed limits (65mph) is great, and I often hang around 75mph. It helps to wear earplugs so I don't hear the engine working so hard at the higher speeds. 😃 In winter my bikes get lined up in the garage along the wall or any way I can fit them and my wife's Jeep at the same time. I don't do any riding at all as the roads have a sheen of ice and small gravel. It's a lethal combination. Good for cars. Terrible for motorcycles. Every couple of weeks I run each bike to keep the carbs clean. Injectors in the case of the Himalayan. I also use fuel stabilizer religiously. Same goes for my generator and other things out at the cabin. If I'm not going to run them for long, especially during winter, I have fuel stabilizer in the tank. Never have a problem come spring. 👍 If my bikes were outside all winter I'd have to make special plans to protect them from rust, condensation, frost, things like that. Cold can be really bad for gaskets too. Old gaskets will sometimes leak after getting really cold and brittle. Keeping the bike in a heated garage is really crucial.

Cracking me up! How indeed? 😆

Thanks Jeff!

Talkeetna is a unique little place for sure. I think the flight with glacier landing is around $300 each. Much cheaper without the landing.

KARMAkaze Moto I would drop $300 for that experience easy. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to your next video.

Compared to AK... sure. Compared to everywhere else in the US... I wouldn't say mild, no. Especially when factoring in the length of winter, not just the temps and snow. An interesting thing I noticed when first moving here in 2008 is that, compared to where I came from in michigan, the winter temps are more tolerable because the air is more dry. And once it snows you'll have that snow all winter long versus melting and freezing and melting and snowing and melting again. I scraped my windshield less often here. It may be colder, but I find it easier to deal with because there's less moisture in the air and everything just looks beautiful covered in sparkling snow and frost all winter long. Where I came from in Michigan most of the winter things were looking dirty and muddy and dead.

@@KARMAkazeMoto. Thanks very much for the reply

Shared that one with the wife! 😆👍

I'm helping people slow down and take a longer break without them knowing. It's a trick to help people relax. The world is too fast-paced. 😉
