Finally saw the Himalayan 450 in real life! A quite impressive bike in person, a big change from the 411 I have ridden so much. I will be pestering them for a test ride ASAP, hopefully side by side with the CFMOTO 450MT! 

Have just ridden the CFMOTO 450MT during its global launch in El Nido on a memorable adventure ride around the island! Can’t wait to share my first impressions with you. 

Proud to share that *our motorcycle adventure film 80/20* has just won *FIRST PLACE* at the FJ Moto Mountaincross Content Creator Awards! English subtitles are also now available for non-Tagalog speakers. Check it out here:  https://youtu.be/kv28SKU2Oa4?si=qaiuo... 

Sharing a new docu-vlog series that I did as a one-man production team in collaboration with Chef JP Anglo! See this magical island through his eyes in the first of several episodes to come. 

Hi everyone! If you've been wanting to start a Youtube channel but been lacking guidance or have your serious doubts, I have something for you.

I'm inviting you to join me on Nov 11 at *11am EST* (12am Nov 12 Philippine time) for a Skillshare LIVE SESSION talking all about getting started on Youtube. I want to give you real tips, honest feedback, and the sincere truth about the reality AND value of creating content for this platform.

We’ll cover all your questions and sources of doubt that are keeping you from finally making the leap to Youtube, whether that’s gear, some kind of filmmaking skill, lack of confidence, the financial side, and more. It’ll be a great chance to have a face to face conversation to tackle your concerns and get feedback on where you’re at, and we can all learn from each other in the process.

Triumph Philippines has just announced local pricing for the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, and it's pretty amazing: PhP299,000 for the Speed 400, PhP 339,000 for the Scrambler 400 X.

At that price, they compete directly with the Royal Enfield Scram 411 and even the Himalayan. For overall package, the Triumphs win, with more features, a lot more power, lighter weight, switchable ABS on the Scrambler, and more.

Offhand, however, the Scram 411 still retains a few advantages vs. the Scrambler 400 X particularly off road: 
-> 1-1.5 inches more suspension travel
-> 1.5 inches (40mm) lower seat height
-> Signature 411 tractor feel with that easy low end torque
-> Spoked wheels
-> 28k pesos cheaper
-> Simpler, more familiar and established platform for parts and maintenance

Can't wait to test ride the Scrambler in particular, expect them to arrive early next year. 

Talking about riding in the Himalayas and riding abroad in general over at  @itourmoto  ‘s podcast! Come have a listen, lots of great info and stories from this group of riders. 

After 76 hours of editing footage from 11 different cameras, it’s finally done! Check out the full docu-vlog of our ride in the Himalayas in Ladakh here:

Riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan in the Himalayas renewed my understanding and appreciation of this motorcycle. If you've ever been around Leh and Ladakh, you'll know that you'll see dozens, maybe hundreds of riders on Himalayans every day. Some will be in full adventure gear, others are dressed like they're just going to the market. But either way, they'll be getting through the same mix of narrow mountain roads and extended stretches of off-road with few problems.

Will share my thoughts with everyone soon once I'm able to get through all my footage and reflect on the experience. For now I will say: Most of us who came home from this either want to buy Himalayans, or decided not to sell them anymore. 

Made it to Khardung La with  @bbmotoPH  ! I was on a Royal Enfield Himalayan and she took a Scram 411. 5 more days of riding around Ladakh, India awaits us. We’ve had the best riding of our whole lives so far!
