Thanks for the great comment. It’s nice to have people share their experiences. We were lucky with the maxtrax. A winch is on the wish list and I’d definitely get the ‘deadman’ bury bag to go with it.

@@stuckneverlost ah yes. Max tracks and some shoveling will also do the trick.

The beach with the other overland vehicles is called El Puertito de Agua Verde. You can find it on Google maps. The beach with the diving pelicans was about 20 minutes north. Punta Aguja

Thanks! Travelling with you sure made the trip interesting and enjoyable.

Oh my gosh! What a wonderful compliment. Thank you! There’s many more exciting episodes to cone.

You may be confusing the Trans Canada Adventure trail with the Trans Canada Trail. The trail you are talking about is for non-motorized travel. The trail we are ridding was specifically routed on existing roads for motorized vehicles. Much of the trail relies on logging roads.

Thanks for watching! I am still surprised how many views our little family adventure garnered. That boot was strictly leather and while it would be good for road rash, it had no ability to prevent the crushing injury. It was just bad luck that my foot was squished between a very pointy rock and the bike frame. I am wearing Sidi goretex adventure boots now.

@@stuckneverlost Wow! You actually reply to such an old video! What boots were you wearing at the time?

@@naushad911 These were BMW brand pro touring boot. Looks like they still sell them on Revzilla. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bmw-protouring-2-boots

lol

I'm happy you enjoyed the videos. We'd definitely do it again but keep going to Costa Rica or Panama the next time. I'm also looking at a BMW 1250. I test rode one a few weeks ago and really liked it. Cruise control would be awesome on a long ride.

zmnixon Cruise control is a must !

It's a short ride and quite enjoyable. You could easily do the whole ride in 3 1/2 hours including stopping at the memorial and viewpoint. Type "mount prevost" into google maps and drag the route over so it takes Mount Sicker road instead of Somenos road. The turnoff on Mount Sicker road is only 1/2 hour from downtown Nanaimo and the ride up the gravel trail is another hour or so. If you need to get back quicker, just take Mount Prevost road/ Somenos road back.

Ben Radvanyi - it’s a bracket from Touratech that has 2 straps holding each bottle tight. We figured that on the back would be least likely to be banged up or broken. www.webike.in/sd/21317640

Hi Alex, I did not know about Laguna Hanson. After the fact, we keep seeing things that we would have liked to go. We had a general idea of where we were headed but really didn't plan very far ahead...more like wherever the wind blew us.

Agree! After this trip I insisted on getting some stabilization. Unfortunately for the next Mexico trip, the gimble broke the first week down there and once again we were stuck with some bumpy video. Next time I'll opt for a camera with built-in optical stabilization.

We did this trip in 4 weeks, but we did stay a whole week in Los Barriles and another 4 days in Loreto when the helmets got stolen. I'd say you need minimum 2 weeks to do it comfortably.

It took a year for that stupid foot to heal. Unfortunately during rehabilitation, I got nerve damage in both feet. It's been exactly two years - next week I get new x-rays, ultrasounds, an MRI and an orthopedic surgeon. Wish me luck!

There was no issue with gas stations (well, almost no issue) While heading back up North from Coco's corner, we bypassed one gas station because Coco told us there was another one a little further. Turns out we had to wait 3 hours for it to open and Michael was on fumes. All the road side stands had totally edible food and we did not get sick even once. Riding time each day really varied quite a bit. We were almost always off the road by dusk...so that would be about 5-8 hours every day. One day we rode an hour and ended up staying at Playa Santispac.
