Thoughts after starting to ride motorcycles in my 40s | Royal Enfield Hunter 350 |

- This video reflects my thoughts and experiences after 12 months of owning and riding my motorcycle, a Royal Enfield Hunter 350. I returned to motorcycling after almost 25 years and this time, with age, I seem to have a very different perspective from when I was riding in my early 20s/late teens. I even seek different things from my motorcycle rides than what I used to when I was younger.
Hope you enjoy the video :)
Thanks for visiting

I'm 67 semi retired and after a 43 year gap have returned to motorcycling for pleasure and a hobby, its given me a new lease of life and making new friends, love the hunter 350, wish we had roads like yours in the UK, the Hunter is the perfect bike for country lanes.
Thanks for the message. So great to hear you are enjoying your motorcycle. I wish you wonderful joyous rides 👍🏼😊
I learnt to ride a motorbike having never been on one in my life, even as a pillion, 10 months ago, at the age of 58. The only downside….. I didn’t do it sooner. All those good times missed. Now I’ve got my bike licence I get out on my Himalayan every chance I get. Now got a 600 mile trip around Devon and Cornwall, and a 2000 mile trip around England and Scotland under my belt.
Such a great way to chill and enjoy life.
That is so good. Make more memories on your bike. Be safe👍🏼👍🏼
a lightness of heart that I can only feel when riding a motorbike, a smile that I didn't realize when I was riding it. Until now I can't explain what it felt like. but I know that I love it and I love myself more, and that's what matters
So well said, thabks👍🏼

Freaking bars dude
Thanks mate😊👍🏼
Half nomad, in America we ride and are lucky to enjoy the Hunter 350 that comes from a land far away and gives us so much freedom and happiness.
Long live Half Nomad and his videos that keeps us happy and refreshed
Thanks and keep enjoying your Hunter 😊👍🏼
Absolutely loving the direction these videos are taking! The cinematography, the story, and the voiceover, getting better by the week. Brilliant!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼😊
Good job on another great thought provoking video.
I've always had and ridden motorcycles since I was 8. Now, at 56 I still get the same joy...wait, even more joy now than I ever have. Either I'm thinking about my last ride or planning my next. Thank you for being able to so eloquently put it into words and images.
Thanks 😊👍🏼
Awesome video, bub.
I’m 51 and acquired a Classic 350 about two months ago. Your description of riding is really on point.
Thanks:)
Thanks and enjoy your motorcycle 👍🏼😊
I was riding motorcycles for as long as I remember. After a 9 year break of being without one, I (now at my 54) enjoy my new classic Enfield more than ever. I don't care if it's a mid life crisis or not but all I know is I started breathing again. I love your words as they seem very poetic to me. Most of your thoughts were Mike too, but just couldn't put words to them :)
Wow so nice to hear your story 😊😊 enjoy your RE and stay safe! Cheers
59 yo. Last rode about 35 years ago. Now on a RE Classic 350 signals marsh grey.
Late life crisis here.
...loving it!
Fuzzy biker calls his classic the Royal Zenfield👍.
Excellent keep enjoying your Zenfield and be safe😊👍🏼
I'm 52 and bought a Bullet 350 after over a decade of not riding and it has done wonders for my mental health. I hope to be pottering around country roads for many more decades to come.
So good to hear. All the best😊👍🏼
Inspiring ride, and thoughts. Thank you 🙂
Cheers👍🏼
Totally agree! You’ve described perfectly how I feel about riding. Same as you, used to ride in my late teens… wife and children kept me busy for a few years so didn’t ride. Now at 53 I’ve recently passed my licence and have an interceptor and love every moment riding it. I always take the long way home and look forward to adventures on my day off 👌🏻
Good on you👍🏼😊 the interceptor is a beautiful machine- enjoy it👍🏼
Beautiful video. To watch in my quarter life crisis
Haha thanks👍🏼😊
Beautifully produced, your cinematography creates such an impression of depth. I feel more inspired to ride with these benefits in mind ❤
Thanks, so glad you liked it
This is wonderful on many levels keep up the grand work
Thanks heaps 👍🏼
Great stuff! I'm 58 started at 54, I'm disappointed I didn't do it sooner.
Cheers👍🏼😊
I am 43 years old, and this year I started riding a motorcycle. I wondered if it made sense, but now I know. When I get on the motorcycle, I suddenly feel like I'm disconnecting from everything. For that moment on the motorcycle, I feel happy and relaxed. The motorcycle provides me with a lot of positive stimuli: calm riding, beautiful views, the sound of the engine. Only those who try it at least once will understand.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your motorcycle and ride safe👍🏼😊

I just bought a Hunter 350, it will be delivered in about two weeks. I am in my 40s too and haven't ridden in nearly 20+ years. This is the feeling I am hoping for that your expressed, solitude on the road, riding on back country roads, a sublime feeling. We shall see. Thanks for your video and thoughts.
You will love it am sure, safe riding 👍🏼
I gave up long ago trying to explain motorcycling to non riders. I always get the impression that they think I'm mad. They really have no idea what they are missing. Thankfully it has no negative effect on me and I ride my bike full of joy😁
So good. Cheers👍🏼
I started at 35. I'll turn 40 this year. Keep on ridind !
Cheers
I had a 40 year gap between riding, only started again in January, bought a 350 classic and its a great feeling to get away on my own riding the back roads
So good 👍🏼 enjoy your rides
I am in similar situation like you.. Closing on 40, was passionate biker in my early 20's .. Had big bikes but speed and power don't appeal to me any more. Love Enfields and thinking of getting one, love the character and the simplicity no nonsense approach. Hunter is my favorite but have my eye on the twins 650s as well.
Thanks for the message 😊 the 650 twins look and sound good. All the best choosing your bike👍🏼
❤❤
Thanks
Hi HN, another great video. Take care,T
Thanks 👍🏼😊
A philosophical treaty, great Video, a big salute from Argentina (Viva Royal Enfield!) Anyway I think the hunter would be better than the classic 350 to combine urban use in big cities (not for pleasure) and a quiet use on weekends on short trips out of town,
Thanks 😊😊👍🏼
51 650gt. was 27 sum years since I road a bike. I just happen to be at the point in life all the kids are grown. it's tome to play again!
Fabulous! The GT is a slick machine, have fun riding and be safe😊👍🏼
Superb Sir 👍 🇬🇧
Thanks
I am 24 and happy owner of splendor plus ❤
Nice! Splendour is lovely motorcycle
One of my friends has been all over India, every state, on his Splendor. Legends, both his bike and him :)
@HiwayRides 👍🏼 agreed
Had ridden 350 cc’s and now I’m 34, going back to motorcycles after 10 years. Booked a shotgun 650. This wait is killing me
Shotgun is a great looking bike👍🏼👍🏼
your videos are giving early life crisis to youngsters 😛😛👍🏻
😊😊 motorcycles are a good crisis to have at any age😊👍🏼
73 ,cannot get enough thrills it about getting better more confident had over 50 bikes keepers ,modded t100,mv agusta brutale 800 conversion to supermotard
So nice, stay safe and have a great time
I’ve got my hunter couple months ago and I absolutely love it. You inspired me to record my rides, started with making reels and feel good about it. Cheers.
Good on you. Enjoy your rides and be safe👍🏼
I fully admit my RE Hunter is a mid life crisis buy at 53 years old.
Haha👍🏼 good on you
I bought my hntr this Yespica. I am 53 years old too
Year
