Your audio was crystal clear. It sure seems like you have it sorted. I need to hop on my Vespa and ride up your way for the day. Maybe hit some back roads. Great job as always.
This was my test of clean air vs turbulent air, I used the same setup I would normally use on the Himalayan and the sound was much better. The Himalayan just produces a ton of dirty air for some reason, I can't even get good audio with a full face helmet. So Im in a pickle at the moment, Im either going to have to change my video style or change my motorcycle lineup.
If I still had my old Vespa... Id show up as a rocker! I actually won a Harley bike show with one of my Vespa builds (entered on a dare), ticked off a whole bunch of wannabe bikers but the judges just happened to know what they were looking at.
Missed you. MY Honda Trail would impress you! 143cc Yuminashi BBK,with exhaust,injector,intake mods wants to ride along. The RED ROCKET rides around White TOP area. Retired enough to ride when the SPIRIT moves me. SLO becomes the SLO RANGER when on patrol on the RED ROCKET.
Mic sounded fine. It has been my experience that those unidirectional boom mics with a clown nose work really well in clean air. I have a 3/4 helmet that I use some times on my TW and chatting with my son on his T7 he says it sounds clear and clean.
Actually I don't think there was a problem with the part itself, I assume the problem may have been a combination of things.... exposure- as this bike is stored outside in the elements (for nearly 3 years now) and shoddy installation at the factory (it looks like there was a little too much slack on the handlebar end causing a slight pressure point at the lever).
Thanks, I'm trying to decide if live commentary is worth chasing or if doing voiceover for commentary while capturing the engine sound would be better. This recording setup would not have worked on the Himalayan just due to the the way air flows around each bike.
I do have to rein myself on occasion, I have a tendency to ride more aggressively than I should. For some reason I really catch myself pushing it on the Himalayan quite often, not sure why.
Just a hint, my ‘18 Himalayan clutch cable failed prematurely and it was due to poor cable alignment. The ferrule wasn’t seating squarely against the lever housing causing a needless friction (and flexing) point. I Zipped a cable tie over to my RAM ball, guessing it will outlast me.
Ive left the old cable in place until the new one arrives- and I noticed that it's not aligned in a matter that would allow for smoothest operation. Was planning to address that when the new one is installed.
Nice riding uncle. Nice reminder to me to order a spare clutch and throttle cable for my himalayan. Enjoyable ride to watch. Looking forward to another food drop video etc. Cheers
Great Video as always
What a place to ride man. Fantastic. Thanks for bringing us along!!
Thanks. For all the backwoods stuff I do, its easy to ignore all the great riding roads in the area, Ill have to start documenting those as well.

WE stopped at that country store on the ride part of the Mods vs Rockers meet last year! That is Sept 22-23 this year.

PUT the Himalayan cable on my KTM 390 ADV ,as I raised handlebars
Man, that's just awesome! Wonderful ride!
I get asked if the Honda PC800 is a scooter... well yea and naa, mostly naa.

Great video Uncle V! I'm watching on the 4th, so Happy 4th. The sound was good and the trip was interesting. Keep up the good work! Cheers!!!

Love these types of videos.
Clutch cable broke, some of the first class parts from India and replacing it with the same part that broke. Clutch cables should never brake.

That is such a cute, classic little motorcycle. Audio's fine. Great scenery.

Easy on those twisties. That's not a crotch rocket yer riding, old man. 😆

Everyone gripes about the Himalayan not having enough power, and here's a little Super Cub putting the mighty off-roaders to shame. Well done, man 👍
I love having me some fun on small bikes!
@@UncleVoodooYes, smaller bikes are more fun.

AWESOME uncle !!!!
Thanks again , great stuff

How many miles on the Himalayan when cable broke ?
about 4000
@@UncleVoodoo That's low mileage for a cable. You been lubing it?
@@hazcat640 I assume it’s life was shortened by being exposed to the elements at all times.
Absolutely gorgeous country, really fun on the cub...... what a cool little bike.
