3 Salty Winters & 12'000 Miles - Himalayan Review

*scroll down for time stamps*

I think it's quite obvious that reviews aren't really my bag but, I wanted to share some of my thoughts on 'The Witch', my 2020' Euro 4 Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. The time has almost come to move the bike on. This has been a fantastic bike in so many ways and I have made some lifelong memories aboard her. I'm sure it seems a strange decision but believe me, I have thought long and hard about this. I'm finding only having bikes is quite restricting, so one has to go as I cannot justify running 3 bikes and a car/van. Although the Himalayan is the bike that gets the most use, I can't possibly part with Ernie the Classic 500, and the latest addition, Gwenen the V-Strom covers most bases.
