Do you ride? What as your best trip? Riding has been my best travel experience in India and also my worst; see what happened in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d84v3s94lvI.html.
I am in Himachal Pradesh near Palampur, otherwise I am from Europe, thinking to try my sister-in-law scooty old Honda pleasure, but I don't know motorcycle driving at all, so a bit worried 😊 car I am driving here in India for the last 6 years 😊
Will def watch this! So far my best trip was a 500 mile mini tour of mid Wales on a 125 in 35c! Was a great experience and learnt a lot. Abr plus more Wales this year and some biker cafes plus some adv stuff close to home.
I was wondering not too long ago what happened to your bike. When we lived in Delhi I would watch your motorcycle adventures as idea gathering for my own channel, but alas, buying a bike while I was there didn't happen. I'm so happy you got it running again. Good to see you back in the old neighborhood again! I miss it there so much (my wife loves it here in the US but I still miss India like crazy).
cost of petrol in India range from 95-100 inr. If we convert 84 euros to inr we get 7630 inr and with that much of money, one can get 80 litres of petrol. And I think RE Himalayan gives around 30/kmpl of mileage so 80*30=2400kms that's insane.
Well, we have gas, we have spark, What now... Air man, air, the air filter, if the bike out side look like that imagine the air filter Remember guys, if the bike was never opened, Air Fuel pressure Spark Battery with good power delivery Important thing to keep in mind when starting any vehicle
I learned the hard way during covid that if your not driving a vehicle you have to start it once a week, maybe once ever 2 weeks, if you don't let it run at least a few minutes every week the battery goes completely dead. I never knew this or even considered it when i tried using my car one day and wouldn't start, people talked to me like i was stupid and should have known that, lol. It really should be run around block at least every few weeks as well. EDIT: Haha you paid about as much as it costs me for an oil change in USA for all that, crazy! But of course have to keep in mind income is significantly lower in India too.
If we here compare to expenditures our income isn't lower instead it's sufficient enough ... If you'll apply our income ratio wise to your place , your area will still come out pricey. 👍😛 ... Ours is people driven society bro not materialistic .
84 quid for bike service in India is still costlier for most bike owners, they want it done for even more cheaper rate. Local mechanics in India would do it for even lesser amount than 84 quid😅
My friend's dad used to have a RE, when we tried to start it nearly after 10 years and shockingly it worked. I think these days companies are making bad products to cut cost 😐
Very interesting that they tried to start it full knowing that it stood for a while and would need a complete fluid change. Anyway I’d be in for this treat in two months when I return home to my Classic 500 after just over a year.
Hahaha if he would ve said Alaa hu aka bar then maybe public surrounding him would run away as this is the slogan of animals that dont deserve to live in a democratic nation. But when he said ram ram he himself looked so happy and safe lol
I have an RE meteor 350, had a faulty ignition coil. The service centre guys were so friendly and got it fixed, and my bike is working like a charm. I think REs are the Toyotas of the motorcycle world for their reliability!
Can be called it now to some extent earlier bikes used to rust like crazy even out of factory things won't used to work they have came a long way from that time
RE is the most unreliable brands in the Indian market. My friend's Himalayan 450 has clunky tappet noise from the engine. The bike veers to one side. And RE guys said its totally normal.
something @karlrock u can maybe look at, i noticed at 12:40 that the front tire was wrongly placed, i might not be well educated in bike mechanics. i think the tire thread/arrows must be facing the wheel/tire is spinning. Cause for cars thats the case correct me if am wrong. 🙂🙂
Great to see you back on your @royalenfield Himi Karl!!! Great video & awesome to see the true value of time & products. As you said the similar in Australia for me would be north of 500 AUD. I've been lucky enough to travel with Royal Enfield to some pretty incredible places. I've ridden through Himachel in India, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal all on Royal Enfields. Would love to see you at Rider Mania/MotoVerse one year in Goa! Ride safe Jimi
Thanks for commenting mate! I definitely hit up Rider Mania one year. I went many years ago. I think there was some scheduling error this year, so I didn't go.
Mine is so similar to yours. Same color, knuckle gaurds, even the mobile holder :P. But don't have these pinions but rear box.. I have gone through of dead battery scenario in which case have to do dhakka start or push start. Guess what, you can't do it alone and need someone to push or..OR, if you have a partking area ramp, climb it and use gravity to do other's persons task 😆.. There is a common issue in Himalayan there somehow the battery charge leaks, so it's getting consumed even in standby. When I got my battery replaced, the guy said that it's deriving the amps means its sucking the charge while ideal as well, thats why suggested to rev it once in a week so atleast battery is not dead.. Thats why we call it chota hathi 😆
@@derbart07 Thank you! There's quite a long moto-vlog series coming up now. And even one 90-minute vlog that I spent a lot of time on. Although I haven't started editing all this yet 😅 Gonna start right now. Thanks for commenting
Doing it yourself is fairly easy. Lots of great vids on RU-vid to guide you. You can also opt to do more than UK dealers, like rear suspension linkages, headstock bearings. It's also very satisfying!
That’s a very cheap price damn wish uk prices be like this they charge a fortune for parts to be fixed replaced or even fitted and for basically a full valet as well bargain 👍
Ugh the damage done by not changing the fluids or inspecting the lines first :/ Legit in shock that you for some reason took time to wipe dust off the paint but didn't actually service it before cranking it. Just ugh.
it was amazing, outside mechanic wud have even for lesser ..LOL anyways 7000 for 1000 days , still fine👍 wat with the discs have they done.. they looked rusted too
Hey, my usual Royal Enfield service centre is not as smooth and well organised as yours, which service centre did you visit? Would love to have my next service done there
Most useless feature/drawback of Himalayan is not having a kick start. I mean paying 3-4 Lakhs you can add a kick start to a bike that is meant to be driven across different climates
Its been 4 months my scooty is broken and I could not afford ₹8000 i.e $95 yet he said 84 dollars is cheap 😭😭 May be in Europe and America even beggers are richer than me 😭
