NORTH ISLAND 1000 - Group ride 2024 - The day Scott crashed his Africa Twin

Dam!
Glad you were ok, for the most part. Total fluke accident.
Poor Twin.

The text fading into the epic drone shot...stunning! I can't wait to see the rest of what I'm sure is going to be amazing!

Wow glad you’re ok man. Sorry about the bike. 😢

I was wondering why I didn't recognize that bridge before the cabin. Sweeps never get to see the epic detours.

Oh man, Scottie, I’m sure glad you are ok after that off…clear evidence that it can happen to the best of us. Take care and be well, my friend!

An enjoyable watch, Scottie. Sorry about the AT. Fixable? Glad you are OK.

If you do this ride and stop at Sayward, check out the old Cable House cafe. It was built entirely out of cable from the logging industry. Back in the day had some of the best food going.

My wife and I just rode 2-up from Campbell River to the Holberg a couple weeks ago. I was really impressed with the GPX files, very accurate. We did run into a hiccup around Coal Harbor. The map routed us through the neighborhood, so we wandered around the houses looking for the trail for 5 minutes. The trailhead is just beyond the town resuming on a logging road. We saw a couple bears, and even a mink run across a two-track just past a large lake southeast of Holberg! I was in awe of the SIZE of the off-road logging vehicles we encountered along the way. Bring a decent buff or dust mask ;) I'd love to do this again with a group of knowledgeable riders next time. We probably missed a lot along the way. We happened to find a really sweet wild camping spot at Nathwitti lake. There's like 10 spaces available with a pit toilet. Its on Ioverlander.

That's a ride I've been wanting to do - if I only had a bike!

Love the North Island. It's too bad the dust this time of year makes it perfect for two bikes and not much more. Glad you are ok. By the way, "our" tour guides this spring managed never to lose anyone throughout our entire tour of northern Baja. And yes, that's a Honda for you, it takes a beating and keeps on running! :)

Glad to see you are okay bud.

I am glad that at the end of this episode you seemed to be ok. The bike is going to need some rehab but they have replaceable parts. Harder to find those for us.

Glad you’re OK Scott 👍🏻

That was quite the off. Always good to see someone walk away. That sucks about the bike, I'm interested to see the result.

The AT needed a nap

Wow Scott glad you
are okay. Scary get off my friend.

Scary stuff, glad you are ok Scott.

Yikes, that was a scary looking off. Glad to see you did not appear too much worse for wear as a result. I hope the repairs to the AT go smoothly.

Naughty ruts!! Sorry about your bike but super glad you're okay. MORE DUCT TAPE!

That was an off that could've been way worse! Bikes and parts are replaceable. Glad to see you stood up right after that!

Sorry to see the Africa Twin is probably no longer, Scott. Glad you made it out without any major injuries. I never would have seen that one coming. Hope you heal up ok. - Bear

Glad to know you came out in one piece!

Glad to see you made it out ok. If your ever in a pinch on the north end of the island reach out. Joe. (You hooked me up with a chain at glify). Happy to help however I can

Yikes! So glad you are ok!!

I didn't like the OEM windshield anyways 😉

Glad your ok Scott , Great vid .

Oh man, that was quite the off. Glad your ok, looking forward to seeing you guys hearing more about it at GLFY.

Ouch Scott so glad you are OK, a little work on the trusty Honda and you'll be back on the road. Take care my fiend!

Wow my friend that was unlucky and lucky at the same time. I’m so glad you’re ok!

Oh my, I am so happy you didn’t get hurt. This immediately brought anxiety to me from my accident at Giant Loop. We can fix bikes, it’s tougher to fix us

Glad you are ok Scott. Love that the AT fired right up. Gotta love Honda.

Thank goodness you're okay. That was a substantial crash. Of course the Honda started right up!
