Himalayan 450: Chennai to Goa - Epic Road Trip - A pilgrimage to Motoverse

[@paul.vanhout57]

Plenty of motivation to have a clean ride when traveling through a tiger reserve😬. Another fabulous MAD TV feature film - thank you.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yep, BIG motivation.

[@superchargedpetrolhead]

This video in an unintentional way shows why royal enfield have performed really well globally in the past few years....the people involved from designer to engineers to even the accountants are all bikers... I don't think there is any company right now where everyone from their CEO to everyone involved with making important decision are true bikers.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I agree. From riding with them, it was crystal clear they are bikers through and through. They can't hide their enthusiasm.

[@malcstones1826]

Epic adventure loved every minute of it I have a himi 450 and love it

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Excellent

[@yetiibob8407]

Back in the 90's I worked in a UK dealership and sold the old Enfield Bullets and one day we had a visit from India by the CEO, Designer and their chief road tester who had his arm in a sling! Upon asking what had happened he said in India they don't use the front brake but they had just started fitting the twin leading shoe hub so he tried slamming on the front brake but because the drum wasn't perfectly circular the brake jammed and put him over the bars breaking his collar bone 😅. Fun times with those early Enfield's 😊

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

They've come a long, long way.

[@FirstClassBrian]

Ah! India-great fun.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks

[@davidcauchi2837]

WOW! What an adventure and well done to you and the crew! Thanks and it does seem to confirm how rugged the RE's are.... Excellent Production and there were some parts that had me on the edge of my chair! Safe Travels; David...Adelaide....Triumph Scramblers 1200x and 900.....

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Safe travels to you too.

[@johngraber5826]

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you liked it.

[@formallynamed85]

Man I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again these videos beat tv anytime

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thank you. Tell your friends.

[@rickdono64]

Exelent episode Dave, loved it 👍 Motoverse is really taking off as a must go bike festival. I’m wondering if there’ll be any organised tours, love to do the same route or similar to this. Mabie we can get a contingent of Aussie riders together for Motoverse 2025! 👍👍

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It would be great to do a tour to Motoverse! It's a fantastic event.

[@silewis65]

One of your best videos and what an awesome adventure Dave, Royal Enfield leading the biking world 👌🏼😎

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@samhill3496]

Dave you don't want to be "That Guy" that Mr. Stripy had for lunch. Good vid mate. Royal Enfield has it going on. Have to wonder how far along they will be in the next ten years. You did well Dave. Good vid, great scenery and a hell of a ride. All that was lacking was the presence of Andrew Clubb and Nugget. All good mate. From east Kentucky USA Happy Holidays to you and the gang. Next time.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks for watching Sam. I ride with Nugget in about a month in the Victorian High Country. 40 riders and I'm filming.......if I can see through the dust! :)

[@samhill3496]

@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV yes that will be a good one. Summer down under. As long as they respect the pensioner and don't run over you. Have a good one. Tell the fellows hello.

[@yogeshgautham]

Thank you for showing the south of India ❤

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks for watching.

[@shubhamkala5071]

Raw Unfiltered. That's the best

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I loved the engine play at Motoverse

[@jmsask]

They have come a long way in a short time (R.E.). Beautiful country to bad you couldn’t tour more of India. You must have a iron stomach being able to eat food anywhere, me I would be on the toilet more than on the bike, good job on the film quality and editing something you do exceptionally well 🍻

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Cheers! We’ll be back to explore more.

[@John450-Himilayan]

Regardless of the make of bikes your riding it looked like a great fun trip and i'm still having heaps of fun on my little Himi and it doesn't bite to hard when finding it's limits it keeps me honest and reminds me i'm not as young as I used to be Happy holidays look forward to your next video

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you're enjoying it too! Much more to come.

[@darwincharles4067]

I’m from Chennai and I’m having a plan to travel to Goa in my bike your video will be very helpful. Also It’s awesome to see you travel in Indian road.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it. The roads are amazing! And you should get a number of hints from the video as to where we went.

[@jkandel57]

I wish nugget could go on all of these adventures!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

He'll be back.

[@aldodetaddeo1979]

Une belle ambiance et cool l'équipe 😊

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

C'était très amusant de rouler avec ces gars-là.

[@ferkuzuel]

Those flat trackers look awesome 👌

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

A great affordable way into motorsport.

[@shaheenayyoobikalliyath8790]

It was amazing to meet you.🤞🤞

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It was great fun. The story came up well.

[@shaheenayyoobikalliyath8790]

Yeah.. that was nice 😂😂

[@AryaInk]

Very well made video.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thank you very much!

[@aDutchy1975]

Epic! thnx :)

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you like it!

[@marcusrise2604]

That RE 50cc two stroke looks almost exactly like a Zündapp CS50. Copy?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

No idea.

[@DEVILHARSHA]

Zundapp had a collaboration with Royal Enfield

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

@@DEVILHARSHA Thank you for this information. Collaborations have been a part of motorcycle adventure for many years.

[@wanderwithniraj]

1 month back i visited same trail at chikkmagaluru

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It is a great place to ride.

[@mithunkartha]

Smells alright 😂, the Arabian Sea that is.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I didn't swim because I thought there may be crocodiles. The locals laughed when I told them.

[@diggy-d8w]

Thanks for the history complete w/ US City comparisons.... that helps me put a face to a Nation I barley know anything about but I'm alos watching for the Bike(450) that I have considered. I know they have a network to take care of this bike but as I'm seeing it IDKnow that the United States has a network to help w/ parts & all? Anyhoo, be safe & seasons greetings

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It's a great bike. Don't know about the States.

[@diggy-d8w]

Yes & I learned about it from a gent from the UK..... I live near a large US City yet there's only 1 dealer & they also sell all the other "Off Brands" that are smaller.... But I like the bike enough to have watched your video & it's inspiring to say the least. Thanks for it. I know that any of the big Japanese Manufacturer's have support here but since I've never seen a Royal Enfield in my travels it left me wondering. I've heard good things though & I'm trying to give it its due diligence in researching the brand. She's an ugly bike but I don't care if it lasts. TY again for the video.

[@TeamSpitphya]

We have a great dealer network in the US. Where abouts are you?

[@diggy-d8w]

I have a Dealer about 40 miles from me (Dallas, Texas)..... I consider this location to be the center of the US for many corporations but again, I'd not seen any of their bikes on the road. Of course, this 450 is a dual sport who spends more time off road than on the roads & I've only learned of the brand in the last year. I was impressed at their doing the big Race in Africa so I reached out & found 1 dealer in North Texas. There may be more but I've got a starting point, for now I'm looking at this video seeing just how popular it is there! That's impressive to me & so all my thread here is about me wanting to know more. I appreciate your time as well, thank you.

[@markdawson5215]

"What could possibly go wrong?!?" ;-)

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Ha ha yes!

[@TheBlackSheepBoy]

Guerrilla/Himalayan flat trackers??? YO?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

They did well. Lots of fun.

[@joshdoddadbod]

What a treat on a sunday. Considering selling my T7 for this bike. Its got everything you need from the get go. The top heaviness of the T7 becomes a pain in technical slow offroading, but id you are moving at speed its perfect. Difficult decision.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Take it for a spin.

[@racingper]

The entire west coast from Goa to Kerala is known by mythology as being created by Parshurama an avatar of Vishnu , struck an arrow into the sea and the land rose out of the sea,monsoons more powerful then their now washed away the saltiness, Parshurama and fellow humans setled there by bringing in their agri expertise. This has been proven by finding of 12000 year old sea creature above the ghats in Goa proving that the land was under the sea and proving the myth as true....also near the Kerala coast there are present under water impact craters dated to 12000 years. The arrow of Parshurama.... Many other regions have myths on how the world was created by the gods...The Goa ,Karnataka, Kerala coast has its own creation myth that has been proven by science.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Wow, so interesting. I love those stories. Thank you very much for posting.

[@sushukrish]

Awesome, can you share the route you took?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

There are a lot of hints in the video. Enough to make a basic route.
