- For Jonathan, the undertaking of a solo world trip on a motorcycle was never meant to be conventional.
For his jouney he chose the same make and model that his Grandfather rode; a 45 year old Redditch-built Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It may not be the most appropriate or reliable of bikes to take on such a trip. It might break down, it might struggle on some of the terrains it'll cross, it might not be the safest way to travel.
In fact, Jonathan is counting on it so that he might travel a little slower, get to know the people he'll meet on the way a little better and discover some answers that he's been searching for.

Ride Safe.
This inspired me so much back in 2015. Now I own a 2014 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 STD (bought brand new) and go motocamping every weekend. I owe it to this guy and his story.
I still do it today. :)
I also ride a 1962 royal enfield bullet made in England, so nice to ride, people turn their heads to spot the thumping, I find the bike so appealing--That's what differentiates bullet from 21st century motorcycles....... #happy-thumping....
You guys are Awesome!!! Showing real people with real motorcycles in best short movies youtubers can watch.
Camera and editing is always spot on. Bravo!!
From all of us motorcycle riders and enthusiast ...THANK YOU!!
Wow! Thanks! You're most welcome.
+dark13art +stories of bike : I was thinking the same :-) Hoping more videos would be made.
+Subind Suresh Will have more episodes coming soon. It's been a busy year, but have some time coming up very soon to get some episodes I've shot edited and posted.
+Stories of Bike That's great news, looking forward to it mate. Thanks.
I met him in Jakarta last month with his Enfield. Now, you guys might call him hipster or anything, but you probably never ride in Jakarta traffic or Indonesia's road yet, it's probably the worst place in earth to ride a bike, it'll take a serious balls to do it. So I respect him for that, and I wish him a safe trip.
You always get your answers ridding a bike!
Motorcycles are much more than a mode of travel, they all have there own soul, you sit over a engine and you fell its personality, you lean into corners you become part of it, it supplies its character but you are its brain, you can learn how to break hard on a wet road, discover it traits while it teaches yours. the fun of riding with friends on winding roads, the difference of bends going uphill to down, to become a expert and learn how to survive is a skill, but once you achieve this it becomes a incurable addiction..
Nailed it.
Dude, were you on drugs when you wrote this? I mean this in a positive way as it is very perceptive. Ride on brother
Well said
"It wouldn't feel right taking an 'appropriate' motorcycle"... story of my life
Excellent Video dude!! I appreciate your effort. I have a Royal Enfield back in India. Its popularly known as "Bullet" out there. To me, it's not just a possession, its an identity. I love all the English Motorcycles. By the end of the day, "Its not just wine, even iron becomes valuable over time, if it rolls on two wheels and has "Royal Enfield' stamped on its fuel tank"
I cannot thank you guys enough for posting these inspirational motorcycle vids. And yes, they do help inspire me to push my personal envelope. I'm on my 5th motorcycle in 40 years of motoring, (2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50).
This enfield is beautiful!
I absolutely love the editing you did with this one! Stories of Bike, please, never stop making these videos.
I have my RE delivered will soon be trips!
I appreciate and respect you putting the information about beyond blue. It's an issue that has affected my life, and I'd hate for anyone else to have to deal with it. Thank you for that.
The way he pulled out with his bike on 4:22 was scary!
The most underrated channel i came across yet.
Born in Britain, survived in India... The Royal Enfield !!!
Amen
*Born in Britain, raised in India... Royal Enfield*
not really 'raised' ha
Interceptor and gt 650 is made in India of Enfield so yes it is raised by Indian parents.
From Great Britain,To the World ....Enjoy!!!!
Just discovered this channel and watched 3 vids back to back feels just so real, just regular people riding regular motorcycles its so relatable. I my self started riding 2 years ago never really paid much thought to riding a bike till me and my wife had to go to separate sides of the city for work a friend of mine suggested I buy a motorcycle for my self I started learning at 32 and here i am almost two years now and my commute to and from work is the best part of my day love riding and on day that i can't ride i miss it soo much. Great vids keep up the good work
Hey man I'm getting goosebumps here.
I've got a '90 RE bullet. Missing it like hell.
I wish I could have seen more of the bike. Still really liked it and can't wait for him to send back footage!
So cool. I love the music and the whole sense of adventure. Wonderful.
As a brazilian is nice to know that we had some history in the South America, love the this channel, I wanted to have meet this early, great job
Saw this Guy on Chasing the Bullet which is Brilliant 😎
Bang on dude - hope you help save a few from that dark place- it is stealing away to many of us.
I watch this video almost everyday
love it!
First off, love the vid. secondly, that's a real bullet, with a remarkable story, the first decade here in Briton, winner of multiple sporting events and with innovations like the swinging arm etc, etc. most of its history since the mid sixty's however continued in India where production was carried on with great skill and longevity which has made it the icon it is today. sadly it seems people are fooled into thinking their model is made in Redditch. Mabe to add value? Not important to me. Mine was my granddads, a 1950 350. it was my dads first bike, then he swapped it back for a triumph side car. then given to me when i was a teenager in the early 80s. the last one made in redditch was early 60s. The first thing noticeable is the bulge where the points/ignition is housed at the top of the timing case. the other thing is the frame above the gearbox. only made like that in India. other things obvious on sight could just be sensible updates like switch gear and instruments that are not original, but the fact its called a 1969 alone is a bit of a give away. I'm not trying to be clever, but credit where due. this bike has its own history and value. its a genuine Indian made classic. No offence intended and i hope your journey is amazing.
So nice of you. Here at southern part of India sad story happened at the beginning of yr 2000. More than thousands and thousands of royal Enfield has been scrapped for the iron and aluminium at a cost of Indian Rs 1500 to 2500.. Mainly G2 and B series engine. 1962 to 1974 . Reason behind is the introduction of 100cc vehicle by the Japanese from 1986. Money crisis in the country. Fuel prices hike . Now people are searching these vehicles for sale. Pricing not less than Rs 200000. Narrow escape by remaining oldies and long live. I own a couple of them
what a coincidence,i remember watching this video while ordering a new Royal Enfield,i love the bike a lot :)
New one is toy bullet
Great video guys, i take motorcycle tours in India on Royal Enfields and i have to agree with Jonathan that these bikes look great and are relatively easy to fix, If you wanna ever do a story at a height of 18380ft, get in touch and Jonathan Bon voyage! Have a safe and happy trip.
I bought used 500 2014 standard since it's discontinued in India but the machine is beast🔥
This was great. Nice way of advertising too and for the right cause. Some other channels should take note (ahem 'drive')
Royal Enfield ..... The name is enough to satisfy your pride... ❤️
Saw this person in ""Chasing the Bullet" documentary. Quite inspirational.
As always, super cool episode guys. I really enjoy these videos.
Excellent message, depression is a killer, do what you can for who you can.
Go for it Jonathan. Looking forward to seeing how you get on along the way.
Best of luck.
Congrats for your bike! I have a bullet Classic 500. Royal Enfield are amazing bikes!

Brasil sendo bem representado , valeu irmão , bons ventos
What is it about not mounting leg guard? In India we love variety of leg guards , mostly because of looks it provides.
Enfield in india is unstoppable and so are it's stories.

This is awesome, this is from INDIA

Exciting and scary journey, Good Luck!
Wonderful video!
Under rated video 👌👌
Could I suggest you look into @oneworldoneride , they rode across the globe from India, and just great as far as Bikers go.
Just make sure it leaks oil if it doesn't worry that you have run out of oil . it's supposed to do that especially the ci engines
Good luck to him.
Beautiful
Santa Catarina! \o/
Another great episode! =D
Great video - great bike - great music
I hope you find some answers
absolutely nice
Royal Enfield, best motorcycle brand in India
My first bike was Royal Enfield and I still have 1 vintage in Original condition. To maintain RoyalEnfield is not easy because you have to be nice to her and take care like a girlfriend.
awesome machine
Fantastic!
At least give credit to the LEGENDARY musicians who wrote the background tracks!! It's beyond me why people don't always give musicians the credit they deserve.
It's called "Take 5" by Dave Brubeck
hi jonathan .. we met in jaiselmer last year same time
Bullet lover
I just love this video ❤️🇳🇪
The Royal Enfield has a year long waiting list in India.
Nice vids, greetings from Costa Rica.
Just loving this video 💕💕👍
Escuse me, the name of the song is Take Five, but, whose version?
RE is nostalgia.
where did you get the front number plate made? I'm finding it hard to get the same style instead I can only get generic numbers and letters
I am afraid I didn't understood well somewhere on the beginning you used the shot of finger showing the map Croatia to Italy route ... what does that mean?
The credits say music by Jack Elkins, is the tune running through the video Jack's rendition of Dave Brubeck's Take 5?
I have three classic 350
One of them is 1969 model and other two are of 2015 and 2018 model
Now I am going to by another RE but this time it is 650
The 650 rocks. Interceptor or Continental?
@@storiesofbike I love cafe racer bikes .
Most probably I am going for GT 650 .
But I am waiting for the new upcoming 650 in RE .
@@abhisheksinghrajpurohit1266 The 650 Scrambler perhaps?
