Thanks for watching David, you’ll not regret it. It’s a great adventure and the Nomadic knights is the best their is. You never know I might be on it 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Thanks buddy, I found that the bike has a very good back brake that you can slide into the corners, to much front brake into the corner and the bike stands up. Keeping calm does help or though very difficult in these situations lol 👍🙏🇮🇳🏍️💨💨💨
Like a said in the thumbnail I thought I was a gonner and I truly thought I was for a split second. Thank god this bike has some nice brakes on it lol. Thanks for watching 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
A fantastic trip . You have excelled showing us this . I have done many trips out there from 2006 onwards with Alex and this with the new Enfield looks even better . May just have to go again !! Thank you
Tbh you were 80 going into the corner, in a hilly blind curve. If the bus had hit you, I wud've said ......... "That's expected", wud've been sorry for the bus driver......... and moved on.
Yes but actually the corner its self was 71 which is actually 44mph (uk) if I had it the bus it would of hurt for sure. I would of been sorry for the bus driver to because this is my 7th visit to India 🇮🇳 now and I know what’s is expected on these roads. Big vehicle get priority. Besides that I hope you enjoyed the video
Hi Simon, if I had two legs mate, I would be there on the next ride. I just think it’s fantastic. Keep up the good work and I’ll be looking forward to the next adventure before dementia. Thank you once again for the last 14 episodes wonderful cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 we are on the big island 🏝️
Last weekend I did a ride with Royal Riders Bali, on my new Himalayan 450. These bikes are very good. I've ridden alot of bikes throughout a long life and this bike is about the best fun and easy bikes to ride. Love your serries. Can't wait to see more from you(:-)
In india you shouldn't go above 60 .If its not a highway.I used to ride bikes but i stopped cuz riding on indian roads is becoming more dangerous. One small mistake and no second chance
Nomadic Knights must pile some big mileages on these bikes and as you say they perform well. Pleased with mine. Lucky miss with the bus although you do appear to click on a bit!!
The bikes have been excellent 👌 not missed a beat.! Yes I don’t normally ride that quick but the road seemed perfect to have a little play. Crazy really 🤔 👍
I watched the entire series. Awesome. That bus incident was quite scary. I am glad you came out safe from that incident. 16:50 you should not overtake when the road goes left. You can't see what is coming the other way.
Thanks Simon, great episode. I think we went through Shimla last year? Certainly came out of Manali along the river bed. An epic near miss fella, a whisker away from hitting the cliff wall. Great series. Loved it. Getting praise from AP for your riding skills is a very fat cherry on the top! Chris
Thoroughly enjoyed the series Simon. I am an Indian and have ridden around, leh and other parts of the himalayas. The core of it is a good lead, and you've had one. Impressive riding by the way...cheers
One of your best vids Simon, how would you compare the old Hymy to the new over the whole trip, it looks like the new engine makes a world of difference to the trips that Alex leads.
The new 450 David is far superior to the old one especially riding around these mountains at the higher altitudes the bike overall just performs better. The bike brakes are better. The suspension works well. I would say the only downside is the stock tires probably need a little bit more meat on the bone for the wet mud parts but having ridden the old one last year to the new one to me, it’s like night and day, different.
Fantastic series . Your commitment has to be admired . Simon please take care and already for the next super series. Alex is a true biker his riding skills would put me to shame lol. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing your trip with us . Keep them coming Simon 👍👍👍❤
80ks on these roads can be risky at times. ladakh has certain long stretches with far line of sight distances where such speeds can be enjoyable at times.
Sorry bruv , I watched couple of your videos with ad blocker on my browser .... I know , am sorry 😅 .. Here on I am watching your videos with advertisements hoping even if it gets you revenue worth a cuppaa I will get rid of the sin I committed using the adblock 🙂. I am still on episode 3 but commenting here on this vid hoping you notice this comment . Cheers 🍻 Happy Riding 🛣️
perfect bus-save mate - marc marquez would be proud of you - amazing! i hope in your adrenaline-level has finally reached normal level. :D :D it was a great pleasure to be with you on this tour - thank you for taking us with you and show us this fantastic views of india. nomadic-team seemed to work very professional and your tourguide Alex is a real sympathic guy, although i was not able to understand everything he said. :D is he from scotland? enjoyed these videos so much - thank you and greetings from vienna.
EPIC series and adventure. You (and Alex) got me seriously thinking!! Sad to see that it's the last episode. Keen to watch your next adventure. Thank you for sharing with us your fantastic journey wow!!
Un immense merci pour ce fantastique périple, désormais, chaque fois que je chevaucherai mon Himalayan 450 je penserai à vous, et je confirme que c'est une moto géniale. Encore merci et je suis prêt pour visionner vos prochaine vidéos 👍 ! Grand ✌️de la Haute Savoie France
Simon, you’ve done Alex proud. A great series so well covered, really enjoyed it. Totally inspirational and i hope to be on the tour next year.
Thanks for watching David, you’ll not regret it. It’s a great adventure and the Nomadic knights is the best their is. You never know I might be on it 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Thank you so much for exploring my Beautiful India 🇮🇳 Please plan a series to explore Darjeeling and Sikkim. Have a Beautiful Life and Safe Journey
There still plenty to discover in India and il shall be back for sur. 👍
Your riding skills and your calmness save ur life
Thanks buddy, I found that the bike has a very good back brake that you can slide into the corners, to much front brake into the corner and the bike stands up. Keeping calm does help or though very difficult in these situations lol 👍🙏🇮🇳🏍️💨💨💨
I wonder if those passengers had any clue, just how close you came to taking out that bus…they really got lucky, there.
It’s just another day in India 🇮🇳 yes they wouldn’t have a clue but the drivers eyes where wide open 👍🙏🏍️💨💨💨💨
Please do northeast india next time. You will love it.
I shall try. Thanks for watching 👍
Bl00dy ell Simon that was close bet you soiled yourself 💩.....
Great series it's been fantastic viewing 👌👏👍
Like a said in the thumbnail I thought I was a gonner and I truly thought I was for a split second. Thank god this bike has some nice brakes on it lol. Thanks for watching 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Great series Simon and well survived. I’m gutted it’s come to a end. Congratulations to everyone for bringing this to us. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hey thanks for the support Dave, I realy appreciate it. There will be more for sure 👌 🏍️💨💨💨💨
Very well done mate.
I've enjoyed every one of your rides.
Keep safe.
Thank you for your support it’s much appreciated 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
That was a close one 😮 crazy bus driver!
In India you got to have to be slightly crazy and a heat of steel to be a bus driver in the high ranges.
There all crazy lol
Had an accident like that out there in 2009 ! Had to avoid a bus and went off a cliff broke 6 ribs . Little hospital in Manali sorted me out go £1 !!
Those overtakes, squeezing between buses and cars. you're riding like a local now.
Yes I’ve had to forget all the uk rules and ride line you said a local. The only issue is when I return to the uk I still ride like I’m in India 😂👍
tea is fine, but hats off to you to eat from such local places where as an Indian, I would give it a second thought bcs of hygiene.
I’ve never had any problems to be honest the food been great
Great series thanks Simon!
If life offers me the opportunity, I’m there 😅
Thanks for watching. I hope you can one day 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Glad to know you are doing well... I hope some from Himachal reports on the dangerous driving by the HRTC - Himachal Road Transport Corporation driver
Thanks 🙏
That was really close...thankfully he is ok and very good riding skills....love from here...❤
A fantastic trip . You have excelled showing us this . I have done many trips out there from 2006 onwards with Alex and this with the new Enfield looks even better . May just have to go again !! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, you know what it’s all about, the new bikes are great and you should definitely do another ride. 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨🥃
woww hatsoff to your.. your presence of mind and expertise saved you
Thanks buddy 👍🙏
A experienced rider like simon can only come out from that close call alive , insane control
Thanks buddy. I’ve had a little practice now. 👍🙏🏍️💨💨💨

Thanks Cliff and thank you for the support thought this adventure, I read all the comments and it’s been greatly appreciated 👍🏍️💨💨💨

Thanks for watching, the new 450 has been a absolute pleasure to ride. What’s a great bike.!! 👍🏍️💨💨💨
In india you shouldn't go above 60 .If its not a highway.I used to ride bikes but i stopped cuz riding on indian roads is becoming more dangerous. One small mistake and no second chance
Yes I agree I was going a little bit to fast, I don’t normally ride that fast but the road was nice. The speed definitely make a difference
Nomadic Knights must pile some big mileages on these bikes and as you say they perform well. Pleased with mine. Lucky miss with the bus although you do appear to click on a bit!!
The bikes have been excellent 👌 not missed a beat.! Yes I don’t normally ride that quick but the road seemed perfect to have a little play. Crazy really 🤔 👍
Totally bus driver's fault. Overtaking in a blind section
It was a close one 🤔
Well thank you Simon and the Nomadic Knight. What a journey. 👍😀
Thank you for watching, it’s much appreciated and glad you’ve enjoyed it. 🏍️💨💨💨💨👍
You are riding way too fast for that road. There is always something just around the corner in India and many other places.
I totally agree I was going just a little quick in the corner and I think it’s important to show people the consequences.
Fantastic work Simon. What a great end to a brilliant season
Thanks buddy 👍
The bus wasn't the only one on the wrong side of the road 😮
Yes very true but the bigger the vehicle get priority 🏍️💨💨💨👍
Great job - now next time do north to south tip of India
There is so much so see in India 🇮🇳 I’m going to need at least a year here 👍👌🏍️💨💨💨💨💨
16:09 you Lucky enough..while riding at heavy turn on road you must be blow horn 📯...it's make safety for you. ..😊😊 16:09
I was lucky and yes the horn is the safety device
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this series, the views roads and people look amazing. Look forward to watching more like this.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for supporting the channel 👍🏍️💨💨💨
I watched the entire series. Awesome.
That bus incident was quite scary. I am glad you came out safe from that incident.
16:50 you should not overtake when the road goes left. You can't see what is coming the other way.
That’s for watching, definitely had a narrow escape
Thanks Simon, great episode. I think we went through Shimla last year? Certainly came out of Manali along the river bed. An epic near miss fella, a whisker away from hitting the cliff wall. Great series. Loved it. Getting praise from AP for your riding skills is a very fat cherry on the top! Chris
Thanks Chris, it’s been a pleasure reading your comments. Super great your all round again. Il catch you on the next one. Take care buddy . 🏍️💨💨💨
Fantastic ride.....Thank you Simon and the Nomadic Knights
Hey thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏
Bcoz India have face 3 season ..that's why india is diverse in environment, weather and culture 😊😊
It’s sure is divisive 🏍️💨💨💨
Fabulous. Looking forward to July 2026. I hear Alex needs whisky ? 🤔
Oh yes its worth picking a bottle up. Single malt, he’s quiet fussy about this whisky 🥃 (don’t get bells 😂) enjoy buddy
Thoroughly enjoyed the series Simon. I am an Indian and have ridden around, leh and other parts of the himalayas. The core of it is a good lead, and you've had one. Impressive riding by the way...cheers

Thank you for the support. Your comments have been amazing and it really does help me keep going. Bring on the next one 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
80ks on these roads can be risky at times. ladakh has certain long stretches with far line of sight distances where such speeds can be enjoyable at times.
Yes I’ve riden the straight roads before in Laddak and it’s easy to carry speed on the straight especially With the new 450s
Looks to me like people have no respect for the life of others, once they are in charge of a vehicle. Disgusting!
It’s definitely a dangerous world on the road at times but the adventure is worth it
Watched every episode and enjoyed them all, thank you ...
Thanks you for watching, it’s amazing to get the support from everyone. Glad you enjoyed it
Great series and looking forward to being one of the riders next August.
Fantastic news, you’ll have a great experience 👍🏍️💨💨💨

Je vous en prie et je compte bien profiter de mon Himalayan 450 👍✌️✌️✌️
Simon big fan you❤❤
Thank you for the support. 🙏🏍️💨💨💨💨
Simon love from 🇵🇰
Thank you buddy 👍🏍️💨
Bikers are good. They like to explore and mostly mingle with the culture and adjust like water.
Thanks matey 👍
That's bus driver fault
It’s totally normal for bus drivers to do that In India. There no rules like in our home countries. Priority goes the bigger vehicle on the road. 🙈
Simon’s experience and good ABS saved him.
Cheers Rahul 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Simon big fan once again great series
Many thanks, and thank you for watching buddy
