A Taste Of India By Motorcycle | Full of Surprises!

From Ireland, having driven over 10,000km in India, this is very true. Trucks, cars, even sometimes other motorcycles just to let them know you are there. Do as the locals do.

Spoiler alert. You guys will get home to the U.K and feel really deflated when you look at all the signs on the side of the road telling you all the things you can’t do, all the traffic and speed cameras, all the ridiculous road rules, the ridiculous speed limits, all the self absorbed and self important people. You will really miss the freedom of India. I love the videos. Keep up the great work. Safe riding fellas.

I’ve been following ye ole man and by extension Mr.Darcy for some time now , but subscribed to the channel after the genuine perceptions you blokes have for India. Most westerners perceive India to be trapped in a time warp as they left in’47, which is all twisted. It’s a beautiful place and we’ve done well for ourselves.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thank you, we had an awesome experience in India 🇮🇳 and thank you for subscribing, there is more to come 👍🏼

My introduction to the joys of two wheels was on the foot board of my Dad's Vespa in 1958, I used to stand and hold onto the handlebars, I used to feel like I was flying as we went up the steep hills in Torquay, It has been in my blood ever since. I think I would enjoy that tour you are on, I have a book callled " Bitten By The Bullet " probably one of the early tours of India on the Bullets, by a group of enthusiasts.

We can hear it in both of your voices that you two are having a genuinely exquisite time on your tour of India, both 'flowing like water' on the bikes, well done indeed. Soak in every minute of the Indian hospitality on the roads. More riders from around the world should take notice of how much fun riding can be when everyone shares the road with grace and humility.

India is a very diverse country. There are green side, rainy side, desert side, snow and Himalayan side. Different language and different cultures based on the geography of India. Right now you are in the western Ghats, its the tropical side of India as you move down towards Kerala it will get greener. There are many Good and bad roads in India, some are really terrible. So a person from the Southern State like Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu etc have a different language, climate, temperature and roads than a person living in the North Himalayan states like Ladakh, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, uttrakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh where it is cold and snowy. Meanwhile in the west Rajasthan state is a dry Thar desert and on the east in Meghalaya they got rain 24*7 considered one of the wettest place on earth. Apart from that India got 2 main cluster of Islands one near Maldives called Lakshadweep islands and one near Indonesia called Andaman islands and they look similar to those countries.

Brilliant ! I had a Classic 350 in Thailand in that colorway. If you ask me, it is the best looking of the colors for the Classic. I just loved the engine of my 350. Granted, it could have either used on tooth up on the counter sprocket, or a sixth gear, but otherwise, a lovely single. Looking forward to more in the next episode.

As a motorcycle overlander from India my advice is - Use full mask helmets (or, at least one with a full front glass), don't commit (accelerate out) to a turn until you see the exit line, honk (beep-beep) at every corner or when overtaking and unless you're on a highway, do not go above 50-60kmph.

18:16 it's actually the Mahindra Thar, named after Thar desert in Rajasthan, NW India. Mahindra had the licence to produce Willys Jeeps, that's where the design comes from. Jeep is busy suing Mahindra in every country they plan to expand, because of which the car cannot be seen outside India that much.

You should take these rides for having a fun with a RE motorcycle. 1. From Delhi to Ladakh on North side. You will blow up your mind on the world tallest motorable pass. 2. From Kolkata to Darjeeling/Sikkim in the east side. 3. From NJP (new jalpaiguri) town to Arunachal Pradesh or Meghalaya through Assam. Even Bhutan or Thailand is possible as international ride. 4. From Kolkata to Pondicherry via Bhuvneshwar, Vishakhapatnam and Chennai on the eastern ghat. 5. From Mumbai to Trivandrum via Panaji, Mangalore and Ernakulam on the western ghats. If you are serious bike rider or RE fan, you must take these rides to see the great country and experience.
