I am sitting here after my dream trip.
Old. With bad knees.
Remembering and dreaming.

And then I found this:


Amazing.

If I could get the old one at a good price, that would be my choice. They prices has not dropped here on the old ones. But it might happen if they have "leftovers" when the new model takes the market. 2021 was a real improvement in the old Himalayan. The initial problems were sorted. The 2...

I have mentioned parts of these before. But here is the summary and the end I wanted a small travel bike with good luggage capacity (Alu boxes). On road bike for twisty mountain roads. The story about this bike was far from what I had hoped. Functionality is perfect. Nice and easy to ride. Light And...

Also small rides are something to appreciate. And be grateful for. I jutt got a replacement for my destroyed Honda NX4. Another Honda NX 4, From 2002. Not in very good condition, but than I don't have to worry.... For me that is a small bike, since it is 150 kg. But Chris will not agree, since it is...
