A simple to ride dual sport bike is the Honda Trail 125. It is not interstate capable but if you stick to secondary routes it gets the job done if you are willing to live with a top speed of 50 to 55 mph. The upside is it has a large rack on the back for hauling gear. Because it is light, 250 lbs., it is easy to haul using a trailer hitch carrier if one is traveling longer distances. Technically the bike comes with a 125 cc engine that gets 100 mpg (150 mi. total range) electronic fuel injection, disc brakes, LED lighting, electric starting, and a semi automatic 4 speed transmission, skid plate, and 17 in. wheels which are a plus for trails and off roading. It is a remarkably versatile bike and it has been taken on the Trans America Trail which goes coast to coast. It should be on your consideration list if you decide to replace the scooter. I got mine recently after years of dithering and it has proven to be a hoot to ride on street and off road. Their reputation is so good that they can be challenging to get new or used. In my case, the three my local dealer ordered sold before they arrived and for extra credit I had to wait two months for delivery. They truly are a thing.

You should consider Honda CT125 as a more capable off-road bike that is still easy to ride. It's manual gearbox but centrifugal clutch

Changing plans is always fun and adventurous. Take winding roads as much as possible, you wil love motorcycling. This sounds like a great roadtrip. Good luck!

Sees thumbnail, yeah I don't think a rectangular box would be a great adventure vehicle. As for the scooter, be careful. This may actually be the most dangerous thing you've ever done. Even more so than last week's video (at least to a layman like me). Road debris would be the thing I'm most concerned about along with weather and big semis.

😊😊

Perfect. Those scooters are plenty fast. Travel by 2 lane till you are more experienced. Empty roads and all that. Over 50 yrs experience and Travel by cycle is "the best". I don't 'camp', I just stop somewhere and sleep. Field turn outs. Side of the road. Remember you are usually only minutes to an hour from food or shelter when on wheels. I carry snacks and water in case I want to just stop. Sounds like you chose a good route.

Just hit the road. You will have fun.

I maybe mistaken but I think.i remember a tear drop that had a small bathroom and shower,please refresh my memory

You chose wisely! There’s no point in doing a Coast-to-Coast unless you’re on the East Coast. Living in Front Range Colorado, it’s always actually depressing when I have to drive east.

the only reason that scooter is "impractical" is because of the current driving climate in the USA: the callousness, selfishness, disrespect, bullying, and utter disregard for law, common sense, and safety is far beyond "out of control" status... one thing i can assure you is that you are 100% making the right choice avoiding the south and the east, for the reasons i mentioned, and because of population density and weather. there is very little open land for camping/recreation east of the rockies...unless you're into paying $90 to "camp" at a KOA.

If you are in town and you want some more motorbike exposure let me know. I got into riding trails after moving to Rock Spring 15 yrs ago and love it.

It would be wise to put on some miles with an experienced rider .. other wise, 50 years riding, great plan, be careful there's a lot you haven't seen or thought of out on the road

Fun trip! I highly recommend hitting the town of Fernie, BC and the Elk River. The Wigwam River is great as well. Great fly fishing for cutthroats and bull trout. Fun streamer fishing and big dry flys.

Thanks, Tristan. Your trip sounds both fun and interesting! I dibs the Virtual ShotGun position. Looking forward to your videos and pics. Most of all, be vigilant, be safe. ❤

I say go for it !!! I really like the videos where you show more of the road travel. That is really nice to see the beautiful areas you are visiting. Good luck. Follow your gut and just go for it. You do what makes you happy. You never disappoint in your videos. They are incredibly interesting.

Wow, nice impractical ride

WAY too dangerous. Watch Itchy Boots, she ended up on hospital with lots of complications. Drivers don’t see you. Small tiers. We don’t want to see you hurt of killed.

Sounds like a cool trip. I hope while you are in eastern Idaho, you go by Henry’s Lake. It is beautiful! We used to go up there every summer until my step dad passed. I miss it! Also love Montana in the summer.

Glad you had a great motorcycle trip! Looking forward to the videos! If you ever get to Victoria BC on Vancouver Island, I can show you some great roads, seaside scenic twisty country roads. I've been riding here for decades and have toured much of the US and Canada over the years. Currently own a Yamaha WR250R dualsport and Suzuki Vstrom 650 X adventure. Bikes are great!

If you do end up doing the Olympic Peninsula be sure to take in Cape Flattery. It is a 3/4 mile hike from the parking area to the Western most point you can walk to in the lower 48. And it is breathtaking! BTW, the last time I saw you, you had a place in Idaho. What changed and when?

Congratulations & safe travels. I'm 62 years old & have been riding scooters/motorcycles for over 50 of those years, I will tell you the same thing I tell all new riders "When you get on a motorcycle, you become invisible, no one sees you." Just today as my wife & I were riding our large CanAm Spyder down the freeway, a car proceeded to come into our lane right next to us. People just don't look before they change lanes, you have to always be watching the other drivers. My wife & I still love riding motorcycles & always will as do both of our adult sons. If you can climb mountains & be safe, you will be safe on a motorcycle. I hope some day we can ride together & swap stories about our adventures.

I don’t often comment, but I think going North is way better than going East!!

Just want to let you know that my daughter & I are in South Central Colorado & heading to this place in our vans this week! Thanks to your inspiring video!

This video is a slog.

Out of you comfort zone. Thats awesome.

Wear a high visibility vest and helmet so we drivers can see you! And you can survive!

I like your SUVing

I think I like what you saw better than Chaco Canyon.

I failed my motorcycle test in OR . My officemate was relieved. I may try to get a trike later.

Get on it and go.

Go

Will be better scenery

Nice bike! Hahaha

You need to ride that sucker to Aspen, Just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber you go and totally redeem yourself!!! 🤣 Dumb and Dumber! Love the videos keep them coming.

The Ice Fields Parkway is a must. Field BC and the Burgess Shale are worthy. The Frank Slide is amazing and interesting. Ucluelet, Tofino and Telegraph Cove are cool. Have a great time, Canada and Canadians are awesome.

I did coast-to-coast in a fast car over two weeks. You're right, it's a chore. You look forward to just stopping wherever you are, however uninteresting, and the interesting stops are short. But, you in Canada is intriguing.

A scooter ? An interesting challenge. 😊

taxes? Also, good or bad, Great Sand Dunes National Park is somewhat close to Alamosa, CO. Why is a property needed to park your RV when you have an unending selection of FREE BLM and National Forest sites to choose from and rotate between if desired?

Banff and Jasper parks, then the Cascade and dow the PC HIGHWAY 😊

I look forward to watching you attempt to ride up a steep mountain pass with a 300 cc scooter. That should be entertaining. I saw you posted that you already made the trip and had a good time. So I look forward to watching.

I've been watching you for some years now. You are a fascinating and ever-evolving super-being. Can't wait for the next one.

Be safe brother, I had someone make a left in front of me some years ago and I spent a month in the hospital. I'm still not or will ever be normal again.

Where do you get your water from ?

How exciting Tristin. I am on the Pacific Coast and it's windy and in the 50s ❌⭕

If you're going to Canada, you have to go to Banff and Jasper. It should not be considered optional.

Be ready for rain days on the motorcycle.

My first motorcycle was a 97 Harley roadking. Only rode a dirt bike many years ago 😂. I didn’t wreck it 👍🏼. I then took a weekend motorcycle safety course from the state. I figured, go ride it or crash and burn 😵

This is what I call a mid-life crisis. You're lucky you have an understanding and loving wife. 💕

Congratulations! Safe travels!

Get a Honda Trail 125! Awesome bike that you can load easily on a hitch carrier.
