    Just fantastic! That trip just sounds amazing. I'm an older guy now and used to many bikes much larger. I have a Scram 411 and I can totally appreciate your feelings of these amazing 411s that possess some special 'spirit'. I can appreciate the pleasure that Himalayan must give on a trip like that. I agree that the capacity might be improved for a little more punch, but then again it would lose something (as the 452 seems to be doing). You mentioned the 650 - I also have a INT650 and the 411 is always my preferred. Hope you get that work - wish I could help. Respect.

      Hey thanks, it was absolutely amazing, definitely the adventure of a lifetime! Very cool that you have a couple Royal Enfield's & that you too like them so much, but I can't imagine anyone not liking or loving them like we do! I so appreciate you watching, & commenting!! Ride safe, & have fun!

    Hey were were you heading ? You ever read a book called pilgrims progress? On your travel up that way did you see any proof of an old railroad on the side of the road ?

    • @purplepilgrimadventures6506

      Greetings! I was just ride'n around North America, camp'n, seeing the sites, & meeting a lot of great people for a few months. Yes I have, that's certainly a good one. I can't say, in particular, that I saw any old railroad up there, but I'd imagine I crossed some. Thanks for watching & commenting!

    I just can’t get over how tough and brave you are to just lay down in your sleeping bag on a sleeping pad next the road and actually sleep! Cowboy camping! I would lay there all night with one eye open!

    What an excellent camp site! A guy I know uses a teepee like that to smoke his fish over the campfire. I wonder if that’s what it was used for. I don’t think so because there’s no soot on it that I could see. Love your Jacobs Garage shirt! 👍🏻

    Incredible journey! (I've hit the same corners and Alaska, but not in ONE continuous trip!!!) A true testimonial to Less is More. I've ridden the western TAT and AZBDR on a 250 enduro - and the 411cc Himalayan is luxury and massive upgrade in comparison.

      Thanks so much! Sounds like ya've really hit a lot of great places too, & I can certainly imagine that the Himalayan is luxurious for ya after do'n so much on a 250 enduro; which, I'll bet, was a ton of fun though! Thanks again, I appreciate ya watch'n & commenting!

    I have just started my love affair with the him411, what a peach of a bike, bags of smiles every time I ride it. lots of character , rugged ,reliable, affordable , cheap to run. good looking bike. Looking forward to many miles and new friends on the way. New 450 water cooled version now available, but this 411 has the charm.

    • @purplepilgrimadventures6506

    Just watching your review on the himi after your 22k trip it’s a interesting video to watch I’ve had my Himalayan Scram411 for nearly a year and after 60 or so bikes I’m still very impressed with the Himalayan despite not doing the mileage you’re done. They are a simple long stroke mid sized engine that should run and run so long as it’s serviced regularly as you’ve proven. God bless you and keep yourself safe. 😊

    • @purplepilgrimadventures6506
      @purplepilgrimadventures6506 4 місяці тому

  • @arideinthecountry

    Watching this and thinking about what you said in the previous video about “I’m close to the edge but not at the edge. Close enough for my comfort level”. Dang! Would not want to fall in there. Then I thought about the spiritual equivalent. So many times I get too close to the edge of the “Devil’s Churn” and man… don’t realize it. Again… need to be mindful not to get too close!
