That's a fantastic bike. I had a Trident in the 90s and as I was missing that 3-cylinders, recently I bought a Sprint 900 1997, green too. The only thing I don't like much is the height and angle of handlebars. I think your bike had originally the same bars as mine so I guess I could too easily adapt the 1996-2003 Trophy ones. What do you think?

I had an identical A10 chopper in the early 1970's when I lived in Swindon it could even been the one that I owned. I paid £50 for it and it was great that you made this video riding her as it was like going back in time for me.

What an utter tank the himalayan is it just keeps chugging along, as unstoppable as a terminator, you could be dead on top of that thing and it would keep going until it hit something or ran out of petrol, crazy British weather nice sunny day and yet we're under two feet of water, lovely views tho, great vid BLP

I get that. My old man has four shovels and they’re all great but he’s constantly working on them to keep them on the road. Sometimes it’s nice to have something you can just get on and go.

had this happen to me last week! I didn't use a top box, but strapped two big backpacks + pillion. I won't blame RE, I'd ridden it 3000km+ all over India no issue, before putting it through 100km straight of off-road up here in Nepal, on the way to Kathmandu. If there were any alternate routes on that last stretch - were it broke - I would definitely have taken them!

Wow! Sounds like you really put the bike through it’s paces! That’s a journey I’d love to do one day. Fair play to you, couldn’t have been easy doing it two up.

Proves that you don't need a modern enduro bike to enjoy greenlaning! I think the best time on the lanes was in the 80s when were were riding trail bikes like the Yamaha DT175MX and Honda XL's. Not as old as the B40, but I still occasionally ride my 1980 Yamaha on the local lanes.

Could you compare 2024 to my 03 fxdx equivalent? Thanks! I've got small detachable windshield, on July 28,09 I had bald eagle form up to 3" of my left handlebar an stay there windsurfing for almost 4 minutes at 38 mph. With his lifetime mate flying 1" off his left wing tip. both filling lane. When they had to move from oncoming service truck, eagle flew between my helmet an windshield, brushing his wing against top of my helmet. Together they gain altitude, flew across hwy, landed on Hoods Canal beach.

I don't remember my Sturgis sounding like yours. You may want to look into your lifters there is an awful lot of valve train noise in your unit. After all she has got a few years her. I got into a rainstorm one time on my Sturgis and flooded her out, pored a cup of water out of the ham can air cleaner box. Rode the rest of the way in the rain with my right leg extended forward above the air intake. Problem solved!
