I see all the bikes are equipped with Sari guards. Yet none of the folks are wearing Sari's? Are they all tourists? No locals carrying wives or grandmas?

Personally, I love to ride my old RE 500 bullet in the mountains on the BRP. But I would not tackle the Himalayas with it!

A couple of friends did that with a small group a couple of years ago. They had a great time. The bikes didn't even break down  :laugh:.

A buddy has a massaged Enfield (the new motor) and has taken it to Datil a couple times now. Works great were other bikes (Guzzi's) did have some issues. While we still give him crap, the bike has earned our respect. That said, it has had it's problems but seems sorted now.

I toured South Central Pennsylvania on a 2012 Royal Enfield C5. No Sari guards but tons of smiles.

RE Himalayas are in the states, saw both the black and white at Baxter Cycle last Saturday. Real life look over was not a disappointment.
