So glad you weren't hurt and I admire your positive attitude in the face of adversity! Will be interesting to follow your journey getting the Himi back on the road. Might be a good time to upgrade the cam or even a big bore kit:)
If I was not running on a shoestring and the uhaul back was disastrous, I'd think about that. Aside from pulling a taller front sprocket for the highway it seems to upset the balance at least for me. Requiring stronger clutch springs, better brakes... I'm not sure if do it anyway. I tried to retire in June and just could not afford it so I work again very part time as a nurse just to pay the bills and ride so unfortunately for now.... But there is never a "right time" so now is it. I appreciate your comments. Very much.
Fantastic. Hoping I'll have everything back together in the next few weeks and I'd be happy to go local exploring. I guess I need a day due break in but I'm anxious to get back on the road and then back on the Transamerica Trail
@@stevesjourney7000 Dang, would love to, but heading back north tomorrow for the summer. Yeah, I'm one of those "snowbirds" Thanks for the offer... maybe next fall ?
@@jeffs7139 well much of "Steve's journey" is the ongoing move to sell my house and move to full time on the road with my Himalayan. But being the country it is, I will adopt snowbird migration as well and be here in Florida, California, or possibly Guatemala for the winter. We'll get together one day and ride. Keep the rubber side down
That was a bum luck Steve. Who would have planned on a thing like that happening? No one! Of all things, a lousy cargo strap. Looking forward to seeing the repair work when I catch another break. Cheers to you for keeping a good attitude about the whole ordeal. 👍
It was so freakish. I really want people to know it was no fault of the bike. It's also such a credit that it continued to run like that to faithfully take me out of this isolated area. Coming up on 2000 miles since this event and it's running great!
My brother lives in Fairbanks. I'm meeting him to visit my mother at the end of July and trying to convince him to ride back up the Cassier with me. I'll see how that goes.
Your videos are great information. Can I make a suggestion? If you are filming with your phone turn it long ways to shoot landscape. This will allow us to see more of your work. Just subscribed! Ride Safe
what a nightmare, but it's the thing great memories are made of! I wonder if the orange webbing pushed the seal back as it wound round and round. I guess it doesn't take much to unseat an oil tight seal.
I bought a 2018 because they came with bags from the dealer. I put mine on. Even when I remove them I carry 1 qt oil, one patch kit, and two tire irons. That and the factory tool kit will get you home. I apply that to my baja bug, 4x4, boats, etc. Kudos to the RE that got him home.
This was a catastrophic leak. When disassembled later, the webbing had torn the vast majority of the steak away. I also carry enough to nearly rebuild the motorcycle.
Are you sure it was not that your chain was not too tight that caused the seal to leak? Watched your 1000 mile review video and the chain seemed way over tightened! When u lifted it it looked like you had no none to little slack.

Up and running if you want to join in a lazy slow ride while I go through the break in.

Fantastic! Let's hope for another 20'000.
Selling my house this month to go full time on the road. Keep in touch and we can ride some together
@@stevesjourney7000 when you're in Alaska, I'll be here. 🙂👍

It was not unseated but the rubber was torn up so the oil just ran right out. It was actually in there quite tight. Just one of those freak things

Thanks for uploading videos 👍
Hopefully there will be many more soon. I'm still waiting for some parts and then I'll start putting it back together. I appreciate your watching.
