Tip to ride safely in india : be ready for the worst and expect for the unexpected. In foreign people take things for granted that other will also follow traffic rules but never do it in india , in india think like noone is going to follow traffic rules and you have to ride through this chaos and maze .

@@KarthikSoun unfortunately in the uk it’s not always about safety on roads, the government make a lot of money out of people driving or riding here, Generally we get financially punished for everything. Speeding/parking tickets/ congestion zones/ avarage speed cameras. Points on licences for common mistakes. We definitely pay a price and not to mention road tax which clearly doesn’t get spent on roads. I don’t think having rules in India will make a difference.

Just stumbled on this one and what a great video. I'll be watching the series. I have just acquired a Scrambler 400X so particularly interested in how it compares. I was going to wait to try the new Himalayan and compare the two but there seems to be quite a delay here in the UK. I had a surprise opportunity on a Scrambler as well as a chance to demo ride one and I loved it so that was that. I note that all bikes are kitted out with the same pannier bags and the Triumph also has a tail bag and a tank bag. Looks awesome and would really open up the bike to some touring. Could I ask if you have a few moments whether you could detail what the luggage options used are please?

@thatbikersimon 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the comment and congratulations on the Triumph 400X you won’t be disappointed, such a versatile bike. It would certainly be fine for a bit of touring, il ask the owner (Alex) where he gets the luggage from, it will be definitely from India. The tank bags sit nice on the Triumph because of the flatter tank. I’m hoping to have the next video uploaded in the next couple of days. So hope you enjoy it. Ride safe

@hellboy7153 Месяц назад

why are you using high beams in the morning himalayan first 10 mins use it only needed even in nights - just an observation

@thatbikersimon Месяц назад

The led lights are much better now but it’s still advisable to have the high beam on.

@hellboy7153 Месяц назад

May I know who is advising to use that 😅 in nights if you are 100 to 200 meters roughly away from a car and no on-coming traffic you are allowed to use high beams Rule is "Respect your fellow drivers, keep it low keep it safe"

Wow that’s a great ride. Good job! Especially interesting were the guys with the flags in their litte 100s and 125s riding 2 up on the gnarly stuff. Apparently you do not need a 1200 BMW to do a bit of off-roading, who would’ve known?
