The Royal Enfield Himalayan - First Ride

Royal Enfield put together a sweet short film on the Himalayan first ride in the mountains last month (remember the one where we rode in the mad snow storm).

Can you spot the Helmet Stories crew. Hint we are wearing black and white helmets.

Riding the Western Himalayas

Right after we finished riding with Royal Enfield on their Tour of Rajasthan I took off from Jaipur to Delhi where Harsh was waiting and the two of us rode to Chandigarh where we caught up with our friend Noel and his son Noel (no mistake they have the same name) and we rode out into the mountains for a week. The route we followed was Chandigarh - Shimla - McLoed Ganj - Barot - Gushaini - Raison - Chandigarh. We have been sitting on the pictures and videos for far too long now so without further ado here are they are.

 

 

 

Bullet Memories #4

My bike was always a part of the group. If we ever traveled anywhere I would ride up on the bike while the rest would come in the car. Every trip I would learn something new about riding on this eventful trip  I had just got these new lamps added to my bike and was itching to try them. Well when I did they burnt out all my wiring and I was stuck on the side of the road. The bike wouldn't start and I had to roll down the mountain about 5 kms to a mechanic where I left the bike and picked it up the next day. The lesson that i learned on this trip was test out all the modifications before you hit the road.
