California | My New Motorcycle - Riding in Anza Borrego

I spent a few days traveling to Los Angeles to pick up my new off-road motorcycle and it's not a BMW. On the way home I stopped in the Anza Borrego Desert in Southern California for a little bit of van camping and motorcycle riding on the new Husqvarna 701.

    I not only love your videography, but I also like how you eat on the road. I also appreciate your mature approach. So many motovlogs are nothing but silly people that talk too much and don’t know anything about bikes but are trying to share their “authority “. Thank you for the gift you give us.

    It’s so funny that you call it your “little Husky” … everything is so relative! Compared to my enduro bike it is like an elephant! Congrats though for finding a bike that you enjoy and takes you to places that you couldn’t get before.

    Hi Sterling. Interesting how you bought a smaller bike. I had a BMW F800GS, fully kitted, and I sold it for a KTM 390 Adventure. I feel the KTM, being so much lighter, is much easier to handle. It can go pretty much anywhere, and may lack in speed, but how often do we use the speed on small roads. I live in Scotland, and spend my time riding the tiny lanes to amazing places, so I think my switch to a smaller bike will pay off. I love your channel and you are so professional putting those stories together. Enjoy the 701!

    Great video sterling, and a nice departure from the big BMW exploration. I, too, have a fun dirt cruiser (Honda XR400R) that I bought new back in ‘98, and it’s so different than my 1250GS. Thanks again for your outstanding editing, narration, and your ability to make us feel like we are right beside you.

    Just found your channel. I have a te300i 2022 Husky. GREAT BIKE, really like your bike as well. I went back and forth on that one and mine. I have plates for mine and it works great for that type of day riding. I like that you show the camp life in your videos. Camp setups, cooks, drinks, etc, that's all a big part of the fun for me so I appreciate you showing all that. A lot of guys just show the riding. Which is fine, but the camp life is a big part of the experience for me and I like to see how others do it and live a little through them 🙂 Keep them coming!

    Congratulations on the new bike. This will open up many new places and adventures for you. Buying slightly used, with extras is the only way to go. For me the 650 (701) size is perfect. I can still ride to places on the road, yet I have the off road ability to get way back to beautiful remote areas. I am always riding alone, so I have to be able to pick the bike up with out help under all conditions, the 650 size fits the bill. I'm looking forward to new adventures with the new bike. Well done!
