This is part 2 of 3 of a trip to the local Honda Shop, Cycle Country, to pick up a center stand for my Africa Twin, and the first ride wearing my Andes v3 jacket. I'm very impressed with the comfort and quality of the Andes v3 jacket from AlpineStars. ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: Andes v3 Jacket & Pants GoPro Fusion GoPro Hero 6 Black Sena 10c v.2 Rode Lav Mic Purple Panda Lav Mic RAM Mounts Quick-Grip XL RAM Mounts GoPro adapter DaVinci Resolve Studio Insta360 Studio 2021 Blender v2.92

In this motovlog, I take a long ride across town on a beautiful, sunny day to pick up a center stand for my Africa Twin at the Honda motorcycle shop, Cycle Country, while wearing my new AlpineStars Andes v3 jacket for the first time. This allowed me to test how the jacket does in 80-f weather (27c) with the inner liner removed.

In this video, I unbox and try on my new AlpineStars Andes v3 Drystar jacket before riding across town to the Honda shop to pick up a center stand I ordered for my 2019 Africa Twin. The ride to the Honda shop and back home was recorded and edited as a three part motovlog.

This is part-2 of 2, for the motovlog titled "Persistence Pays Off". I misspell "persitence" again... D'oh! It's on the long side (I'm working on that), but I try to keep the conversation going. In this motovlog, I give a glimpse of my external lav mic with it's micro blimp cage and "dead mouse" fur covering, which is great for recording engine & mechanical sounds of the motorcycle while riding so that they can be mixed in with the voice audio during the editing process. If anyone is interested in obtaining one, let me know in the comments. .......... At the end of the motovlog, I give a shout out to youtube sensation, and future two-wheeled Hall of Famer, The GorillaBiker, who rides out of Ireland and is a proper motovlogger with lots of great motovlogs that often include drone footage of some of the fantastic places he rides to in Ireland.

I had so many issues while trying to get a motovlog recorded this day... I almost gave up for the day, but I stuck to my original plan and made it happen. I had a great ride in the country on my Africa Twin. It is a great bike, and I'm itching to get it equipped for off-road riding. Persistence pays off. Even when you misspell "persistance" in the video... :) This is part-1 of 2. ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

This video shows how to put together a RAM Quick Grip XL cell phone holder from RAM Mounts. Please pardon my calling a nut a bolt, and a bolt a nut during assembly... it was a long day. But, the Dude abides. ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

I made another run on my 2019 Africa Twin to the cannabis shop and the grocery store to record video footage so I could test out a night vision effect that I'm working on in DaVinci Resolve. The cam used was my GoPro Fusion. I'm trying to find out if I can extend my motvlogging into the night time, here and there. ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

Getting Stuff... I made a run to the cannabis shop for some pre-rolls, and then continued on to the grocery store for some food and beverages, and what have you, before riding home with a fully stuffed napsack on my back. This Africa Twin is quickly becoming one of my favorite bikes, and I can hardly wait to get some dirt tires on it and get off of the pavement this coming spring and summer! ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

*This is my first motovlog of 2021 !!! I got a RAM mount Quick-Grip XL for my Africa Twin! I got a RAM Mount Quick-Grip XL for my cellphone as a Christmas present, and I also got the long arm and a GoPro RAM Ball Mount adapter to use with my GoPro Fusion camera for a second camera. I'll be using the Quick-Grip XL to hold the phone while it's being used as a GPS. I have a Galaxy S7 Active cellphone, so it's a little larger-sized cellphone, and I'm VERY glad I went with the larger Quick-Grip XL instead of the standard-sized Quick-Grip. I also bought a 6-inch long arm to use with the GoPro Fusion, and I'll be getting an 18-inch long RAM arm later on. This is just a short test video to see how it looks. And if "The Dude" rode an ADV bike... I love my Pendleton Westerly! It's a great sweater. :) ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

This is Part Two of a motovlog of my 2nd ride on my new 2019 Africa Twin. The audio is fixed in the last half of the motovlog. I adjusted the preload in the rear shock to get proper static sag set, which lowered the bike about 1-inch (25mm), so I can now get both feet flat on the ground. Part Three will conclude this motovlog.

This is Part Three, and the final chapter, of my first Africa Twin motovlog. It's a lot different riding than my ZX-14R was, thats for sure, but I'm very happy with the bike, and I'm looking forward to getting back into riding on the dirt in 2021 after adding crash bars and a pair of good 50/50 tires. ==================== 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

*Sorry for the bad audio... I fixed it in Part Two* ------------------------------------------------------ This is Part One of a motovlog of my second ride on my new 2019 Honda Africa Twin. The first ride was a 60-mile ride from the dealership (95km), but I forgot to turn the power on for the lav mic hooked to my Tascam recorder, so there was video recorded, but there was no voice recorded. Which makes this my first offical Africa Twin motovlog. :) I had to go to the post office to mail off my motorcycle theft insurance claim paperwork for my stolen ZX-14R. After that, I stopped into a 7-11 to buy some soda pop and Monster Energy. Did I love the Africa Twin? Did I hate it? Did IT hate ME?! You'll just have to watch the video to find out. ==================== My gear: 2019 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L Shoei Neotec & HJC CL-17 helmets AlpineStars: leather jacket, leather pants, boots, and gloves.

So i got my theft insurance settlement for my previous bike yesterday, and bought a 2019 Honda Africa Twin as a replacement bike for my stolen 2016 Kawasaki ZX-14R. Motovlogs coming soon...

I made this 3D logo animation using Blender v2.9 and then edited it in DaVinci Resolve. I'm getting a new ADV motorcycle very soon, a Honda Africa Twin, and I'll be be recording my on-road and off-road rides here in Oregon and uploading those motovlogs here on rumble.com. I'll be making short and unique 3d animations for each motovlog's intro clip, to keep it fresh, and to make me learn to use Blender better, and with a deadline. This animation is an example of that.

I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years, with the first 20 years being strictly on dirtbikes in Alaska, then switching to streetbikes for the last 30 years. I'm switching motorcycles in a few weeks, from a 2016 ZX-14R to a 2019 Honda Africa Twin so I can get back to riding on dirt roads and work up to crisscrossing Oregon on National Forest Roads as much as possible as I ride out to the volcanoes, the ice age flood areas, Crater Lake, the ocean beaches. My motorcycle is my only transportation in Oregon, and I'll be uploading motovlogs of my in-town rides, out of town rides where I'll be motovlogging my cautious return to riding on dirt after 30-years of supersport streetbikes. I'll be riding solo until I can find a riding buddy or two in Oregon who won't mind me motologging the ride. For now, I have a chin-mounted GoPro Hero 6 cam on my helmet, and a GoPro Fusion 360 cam mounted to the motorcycle, which allows for extra editing options for a one-man show. I make a unique intro 3D animation for each motovlog, using Blender3D v2.91 and DaVinci Resolve Fusion. All video editing is done using DaVinci Resolve.
