Hey man! I'm getting into moto camping off my himi- and also reside in the CO Springs area. It was great seeing familiar places! Also, would you be able to do a brief vid about the equipment you use? Thanks

I don’t really use this channel much anymore, I sold the Himalayan and got a Suzuki Dr650. I might put a video out this year but otherwise this channel may be dormant for a while.

One of the best DR vids on YT. Got a busted 1993 Dr250 and have been rebuilding it all via KZbin and common sense and nothing has been as helpful as this video.

Hey I cruise this exact route regularly to Buena Vista. How does the Himalayan tolerate those long stretches at higher speeds near Hartsel? Thinking of getting one...

@PipeDreamTrails it’s a cool looking bike and has plenty of utility use. But on American roads it just can’t keep up. I have no need for speed but it feels equally dangerous to be the slowest person on the road. You have no extra power on these long uphill grades of the American west.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. Was hoping to find a KZbin video to help decompress after the end of a long office day. This video was a godsend. MANY thanks!!! Looking forward to a moto-camping get away, on my Scram - further from the city, the better. In the process of modifying it to hold gear. FYI: I paused just before the five minute mark to say this thank you, yet also wanted to point out that your sound and video is absolutely perfect.; not false polished. My poor stir crazy white collar caged soul can buy into the ride, and I almost feel like I'm there. You nailed it, and brother did I need this

Probably a stupid question but are you using your decompression lever properly? Slowly kick the bike until you feel your at top dead center then you click your decompression lever on and just barely push down on your Kickstarter until that decompression lever pops off, then you let the kickstart up and hit it and it should start up pretty easily if your carburetor is clean and working. May be a stupid question but you’d be surprised how many people I have no idea

Its the safest bike there is, low center of gravity and if you are the type that doesn't enjoy riding a deadly monster screaming down at 140mph feeling terrified rather than just enjoying the ride, scenery and sound its definitely for you.

prefer setting up your sleeping bag on right side of your bike. ie, opposite to the Kick stand side. this way if the bike falls for whatever reason, it won't fall on you
@AdvMatthew 3 жыл бұрын
I never trusted the Himalayan to not fall over on the opposite side. Side stand way too long stock. Feels like the wind can blow it over. I just put a rock under the side stand.
