Salve, e benvenuti! This channel is largely concerned with motorcycle journeys in the American Southwest on the backs of my 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado, 1976 Moto Guzzi I-Convert, and my 2000 Honda Valkyrie.
Currently in India riding a 1968 Royal Enfield Bullet Standard 350 (G2), a 1972 Royal Enfield Bullet Standard 350 (B Series), and a 1944 Norton WD 16H.

1972 Royal Enfield Bullet: Mumbai to Kanyakumari via Coastal Road - Part II
Part 2 of a 2 part video series concerning a ride from Mumbai to the southern tip of India, Kanyakumari, on my 1972 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Standard. This video features the wonderful roads of Kerala and Tamil Nadu with my good friends Shankar and Karthik...
The starting procedure for a motorcycle designed in the 1940’s is not as straightforward as a modern machine. It involves freeing the clutch plates (which stick together overnight), manually priming the engine, turning on the fuel tap and the ignition switch, enriching the fuel mix, positioning the piston for startup, saying a quick prayer that the engine doesn’t kick back, and kick starting the engine until it comes to life.
It’s after that procedure that I set off on the morning of Sunday, 14 January 2024, for a 1,300-mile journey from Mumbai to the southernmost point of India: Kanyakumari. I spent months pouring over maps of rural scenic roads, but nothing could have prepared me for the wonderful experiences and the amazing sights that came my way over the course of the next three weeks.
For the long journey I packed 3 changes of clothes, swim shorts, a leather jacket, a flea market HMT Janata wrist watch, some toiletries, a mosquito net, two cell phones, a charger, my documents, a credit card, a map of India, some snacks and water, a journal, some cash hidden throughout the bike, my Nording pipe with some Lane 1Q pipe tobacco, and my trusty Mexican blanket. For the bike I brought some tools, a cover, some frequently needed spare parts, and a quart of oil.
After reaching the southernmost tip of India, my friends (who met me in Kerala) and I packed and loaded our bikes into the cargo car of a train and moved to the passenger section for the 30+ hour ride north back to Mumbai.
Amazingly, the old bike made it without any major issues.

A video documenting the restoration of my 1972 B1 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Standard. I purchased this bike from a friend in 2022.

Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way. She's riding very smoothly and powerfully these days. The proje...

I went up and over the mountains on the way there, and south across the deserts on the ride back. It was a pleasant journey. A real feeling of sprezzatura on th...

This video really is a work of art. I’ve watched this countless times and it never ceases to transport me to a sublime place. Thank you.
Visto ora . Incredibile , veramente unico , professionale , attento e chiaro. Peccato non aver più la V7 , ceduta anni orsono per moto più performante. La scimmia di riprenderla mi torna spesso ma ricordo ancora quanto fosse dura nei viaggi ed i pochi Cv ma lo stile non è acqua ! Well done , Mauro.
Grazie Mauro!

Lots of vloggers out there, have fun!
You are a very clever videographer and adventurer. I revisit your Guzzi video to the rock monastery often for it's creative genius. Thank you!
bel video ma gli spari sono inquietanti ......... perchè hai svitato il tappo superiore del cardano ? bastava svitare il tappo di rifornimento 👍👍
Aiuta l'olio scolare meglio. toglie la pressione.

hey super bro .. so you have ridden g2 a lot .. so tell me is there any considerable difference in 2005-10 model vs G2 ? Please lets go on ride again.. would love to join you .. And even I am from Konkan

B1 always B1 . The best series of Royal Enfield Bullet ❤.
Where do we get this seat. Looks gorgeous
It's a Lycett Seat - not too hard to find
@@pasqualinobillwilder Thanks for your information.
I will always be glad that I was the owner of an 88 model bullet.y old vintage enthusiasts who will be into something different. Each trip on this bike will be made unforgettable by them❤.
I have a B1 I think its 1972 when I rebuilt it in 2009 with new piston and rings and a headjob I couldn't fit the lash caps to the valves, with them the pushrods were too long and I couldn't adjust them, I have done about 10000 kms on it so far. Its a great bike since buying I have also bought a 2019 Interceptor.
Song selection ❤
Wow nice sir ❤i love this video and i got emotional..... really very fantastic story with G2❤
