Murmansk-Nordkapp - 10'000km on a Suzuki SV650S

[MsBot100]

awsome! did you have to change tiers any time?

[AlpineGuerrilla]

@MsBot100 Thanks man! The trip was done on one set of tyres, but were definitely worn out pretty good afterwards. I run Michelins Pilot Road 3, exceptional sport-touring tyres.

@AlpineGuerrilla

Ah Nice! you should do more vidz like this one! how was the customs in russia? pain in the ass?

[AlpineGuerrilla]

@MsBot100 Crossing the russian border was a bit of a hassle, filling out strange forms, dealing with unmotivated officials and unorganized processes. Got some problems because of my maps when I exited Russia near Murmansk, but they let me go after a while. Sure makes for some good stories.

Would love to do more trips like this (and thus more videos), but vacation time is limited. The next big trip is coming up in August, so be sure to subscribe to my channel so you wont miss it. :-)

Great video!

Just wondering, how many gigabytes of memory did you take with you for the GoPro? And how did you charge it?

[AlpineGuerrilla]

@eijkkevin I copied the clips on a netbook when I was in restaurants, it was a total of 6.5 hours and 35GB. The Gopro was charged while riding using an aftermarket 12V outlet with USB adapter.

[eijkkevin]

@AlpineGuerrilla oh okay so you took a netbook. I'd like to buy a GoPro as well but couldnt think of any handy way to save the clips. Unfortanetly I cannot take a netbook with me seeing that my bike (also an SV650S, K3) is totally loaded with stuff like a tent, cooking supplies etc. etc.. Guess I still take too much stuff with me, haha. Props for your vids man, very inspiring. Makes me wanna go out and ride!

GREAT!!!

That was fantastic and totally inspiring. I'm looking forward to an Epic Adventurous trip in 2012, and you have truly inspired me. How long did it take? How many miles/Km? How far did you go each day? What were the highlights? If you only had 1 week for a motorcycle adventure in that region where would you go? I'm from the US and ride a KLR 650 but plan to meet a friend in Suomi and to get a bike there for the ride. Thanks for your feedback! AWESOME FOOTAGE!

[AlpineGuerrilla]

@markbullard That depends on what you really want to experience. On the dual-sport I'd probably do some gravel and offroad tracks. There's a lot of cool tracks in Finland.

The trip was 4 weeks long and the daily mileage was around 300-350km. No problem on these roads. But it's difficult to say what the highlight was. Though I really liked Russia - beautiful landscapes, meeting nice people and well, it's always cool to be somewhere completely different than your home country.

Some really nice footage there, how did you do the panning time lapses?

[Nighttest1]

Es mega Video, gefällt mir massiv!

Super Ufnahme, dä Sound passt au.. Und landschaftlich en Traum! Beniede dich für die Reis und Erfahrige! :)

[kxl77]

Amazing video and footage! Truly inspiring! Keep up the good work!

[AlpineGuerrilla]

@Blackmilkfr Well, I was far out most of the time, so I did indeed take it easy with the riding. My next video will again be a little faster, promised. :-)

Appreciate your words and opinion!
