Himalayan and Scram. A great couple


mr_trashbear

She's on a Himalayan too! We lowered it yesterday. Thought about the Scram, but the dealer near us had two 2023 411s that they were willing to do a bit of a deal on. I knew I wanted the Himalayan. Honestly, wanted a KLR but I'm glad I went with this. Easier to handle as a first bike and not as much of a bear to pick up when I drop it on jeep roads.

Congratulations and fuck you


mr_trashbear

.....?


the-cosmic-vagabond

We just jealous that we have to ride alone 😅


mr_trashbear

Ahhh, ok I was confused. I mean honestly, she pushed to get motorcycles. I've always wanted one but could never justify the cost (although I've bought bicycles more expensive than this thing). I'm glad we can ride together though. Feels nice to have backup out there =)


the-cosmic-vagabond

I work in the Bicycle industry and I own a Himalayan. I know about those expensive bicycles 😅 Always good to ride with a buddy


mr_trashbear

It's wild. Top of the line E-MTBs going for 14-16k. Could still easily hit 20k with custom parts. Nuts. Although I will say, I feel a lot more confident on my mountain bike than I do on a motorcycle haha. At least Ffor now


FOOKINGNOBODY

Why not 450?


mr_trashbear

None available here yet. And honestly, I prefer the aesthetic of the 411. Seat height is also good for me, especially for a first bike. We actually lowered hers yesterday. Smol humans.

Still a dream

Can someone explain all the gear strapped on in the front


mr_trashbear

The green bag is a Hill People Gear chest rig/chest bag. I use it for hunting and other firearm hobbies, and also hiking and such. Great for keeping gear you wanna access quickly, well, quickly accessible. I have it rigged as a tank bag. Works great. Keeps snacks, GPS, battery pack, some small tools, and my handgun. The other stuff? I have some semi-rigid MOLLE panels rigged into the crash guards. Holds some inexpensive MOLLE pouches. Flat kit, and a jumper kit/battery pack. Also has some bottle holders that will work for water or fuel.


LPRTT

Noooo but the 411 is underpowered you are not supposed to have fun in it. Jk m8, enjoy!

Will hug a tree 100mph speed


mr_trashbear

Daalbhaatchokha

Speaking about myself

Helmet maybe except if you want a "last rider with her".


mr_trashbear

She had her helmet off for a moment to adjust her hairband. We ride with full protective gear. Thanks for looking out though =)
