  • Part 1 of a 2 part video series concerning a ride from Mumbai to the southern tip of India, Kanyakumari, on my 1972 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Standard. This video features the wonderful roads of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka...
    The starting procedure for a motorcycle designed in the 1940’s is not as straightforward as a modern machine. It involves freeing the clutch plates (which stick together overnight), manually priming the engine, turning on the fuel tap and the ignition switch, enriching the fuel mix, positioning the piston for startup, saying a quick prayer that the engine doesn’t kick back, and kick starting the engine until it comes to life.
    It’s after that procedure that I set off on the morning of Sunday, 14 January 2024, for a 1,300-mile journey from Mumbai to the southernmost point of India: Kanyakumari. I spent months pouring over maps of rural scenic roads, but nothing could have prepared me for the wonderful experiences and the amazing sights that came my way over the course of the next three weeks.
    For the long journey I packed 3 changes of clothes, swim shorts, a leather jacket, a flea market HMT Janata wrist watch, some toiletries, a mosquito net, two cell phones, a charger, my documents, a credit card, a map of India, some snacks and water, a journal, some cash hidden throughout the bike, my Nording pipe with some Lane 1Q pipe tobacco, and my trusty Mexican blanket. For the bike I brought some tools, a cover, some frequently needed spare parts, and a quart of oil.
    After reaching the southernmost tip of India, my friends (who met me in Kerala) and I packed and loaded our bikes into the cargo car of a train and moved to the passenger section for the 30+ hour ride north back to Mumbai.
    Amazingly, the old bike made it without any major issues.

    I was so blessed when I saw your first video on my feed of restoring the bullet B1 series! I always wondered about the ape hangers and the rear carrier "why the guy didn't follow the restoring trends with the *G2 handle bar and short seats*! Now after a while I see why!❤ Subscriber +1
