Royal Enfields in Nepal

[futianshenzhen]

I was just looking through some photos of a trip I did in April this year and thought why not put up some pics on MCM, nothing to do with China but what the hell! I went to Nepal to meet up with my family who I hadn't seen in a few years and we went hiking and all that. BUT - I did hire a Royal Enfield in Pokhara and sneak off on my own for the day!

This was the oldest bike in the shop, maybe a 1947

This 500cc was the largest

Can't remember much about this one it was just parked on the street

This was my ride for the day - a 350

I stopped in a small village on the other side...

And found a little shop...

Where I had a wee drinky just to ease the hangover you understand

This was taken another day but Nepal is full of such views




So that's it really! I'd like to go back and do a proper trip one day but who knows when that'll be! Nepal itself was stunning and the people are fantastic. As for the bullet - it's a bit of a bitch to ride with the gears on the wrong side and in reverse order but a lot of fun all the same. I felt it had plenty of power for Nepal and kinda reminded me of the crappy Chinese bikes I've ridden in the past! It needed a lot of riding but was also rewarding and I loved the experience.

The Enfields are really, truly beautiful bikes, very much in that old Steve McQueen groove. I'd be honored to have one in my still minuscule collection!

I love Royal Enfield Bikes, they are planning to launch a 350cc model soon. It is likely going to be from the Interceptor line. As per sources, Royal Enfield will soon launch a new Interceptor 350. The upcoming Royal Enfield Interceptor 350 will be powered by a single-cylinder engine as the Meteor 350. Source: https://www.mototechindia.com/royal-...terceptor-350/
