Some of you wanted to know about the accessories that I have on the bike that are useful while touring. I've made this video to tell you all about what I have, what I think of it and where I got it. Hope you guys find this useful. Please do watch and share :). Thank you.
you are amazing sir....
whats the fuel economy of thunderbird on tours and top speeds...
please reply
I usually get an average of a little over 30kmpl. Need to check again now though. I usually cruise at about 90, not a fan of higher speeds on this bike over long distances because it will just increase the amount of vibration.
Toll Free Traveller
yeah enfield bikes vibrate more compared to other bikes
Hi when are you leaving to tour any chance you pass through bangalore?
kotanjan reddy badri
no lately brother
i am caught up with some exams issues
Simple. Informative. Precise. No stupid music. No shouting. No drama. Just the way it should be done. Other 'popular' bloggers also take note please. Good work!!
sagar mishra thank you 🙏🙏
When ever i feel bored or down I come here.
Even after 5yrs I am still here, starting again from the first vlog.
These travel vlog series of yours with FAITH especially, is like my safe space, relaxing, makes me calm.
your simplicity and humbleness is what I like the most apart from your videos , all the best for your journey , i wish you lot of success for your work ,keep making stuff like this ☺️
Thanks a lot, Gouse Rizvi. :)
That's exactly why I have subscribed and admire him as well!! Of all the you tuber in india he is the guy I like the most!!
As always.. a treat to watch your videos. Some things that came into my mind : 04:47 : drill holes into the base plate to have collected water drain out to prevent rusting. 05:45 : presuming that the device you are going to charge is placed inside your tankbag, you can place the usb charger more down close to the handle bar mounts, tht will reduce the amount of ur charging wire dangling and flapping in the wind. 09:12 : best way to get rid of that burn stain from the exhaust wrap is scrape it off as much as possible with emery paper nd then spray muriatic acid (HCl) nd leave it for abt 15-20mins nd then wash it off with cold water, the chrome sparkle should come back. And those lights are just AWESOME!!
Hey Abhijit, thanks for watching. Useful suggestions, those. I guess it's a good idea to clean out the pipes, but I'll do that whenever I pull this wrap off. The lights make such a huge difference, can't believe I ever rode without them. Haha.
Accidently landed in this video...it's the best video with no nonsense review.
I am an ex Indian Naval aviator and I travel a lot .. like ng trips in my bullet. I did delhi to cochin and many more long trips.I know the practicality of the bike,and at times my opinions differ from experts bullet blogers and I don't care because I belive what suits u is good for u.
At the end it's not just style it's the comfort and safety .
Your way of explaining is excellent..keep up the good job
Cheers

I am so happy that you extensively covered northeast and I was lucky to see the lane to my house in your vlog of Jorhat. Your simplicity and humbleness makes your videos so appealing. I hope you had a great northeast tour. All the best for your future endeavours and have a safe ride back home. Cheers!
That's awesome, Abhishek. Thank you for watching!
Clear,Crisp, Simple and very informative. Thank you man!! Wish you the best and good luck for your journey ahead. Safe Travels!!
sarat chandra thanks a lot
I don't think I will ever tour like you even a tenth of what you do but I enjoy your videos it is kind of warm and nice go on ...miles to before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep
Thank you. I am sure you will do as much, if not more, some day too. :)
The luggage rack with the modifications you did is fantastic. Well done upgrade on the lighting with doing a lot of night riding in wilderness areas I see great value in having good lights on my bike. I love when I see videos like this keep up the good job I'm going to watch some of your other videos now.
Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoy the other videos too :)
Great video thanks for showing us, l love the lights you have fitted, they make a terrific difference from the standard light. Safe travels 🇬🇧👍.
Hey Amazing video yet again. Seriously your videos are stress buster for me and I do keep watching them time and again. Thanks for sharing the valuable information.
You're amazing. Your videos are one of the best I find on Indian TH-cam. Keep up the great work bro.
Thanks so much!
Simple and sober things are always best.. Thumbs up for the accessories ☺️
Mizar Monk thank you!
Amazingly edited, and the best part is where you were shooting outside of your house cz i could hear the chirping of birds 😍😍.... I live in delhi so i hope you understand 😁😁
yeah, loved the birds chirping behind. this is a rare part in my main city life.
i m not a biker, only drove a scooter but still watching ur episodes.
good one !
Hahaha. The birds had a lot to say. Don't worry, travel will come up soon, just want to share some of the stuff I've learnt through experience in the time before I hit the road again. Thanks for watching :)
Great and very instructive video you do. Thanks a lot.
Very ingenious way of protecting your travel luggage. They say necessity is the mother of invention. You have once again proved this to be true. Also I love your rack. It is very utilitarian. Here in the states you can not find nothing like that. Guess Touratec and H&B and SW-Motec would be out of business if the vain yuppies ever got off there style trips. Heading to the Metal Store today to buy me some Stainless Pipe and see if I can build that rack you have on your bike. It look like you can put what ever kind of luggage you want on it and don't have to invest over a thousand dollars just to carry half of what you can carry.
Anyways as we say in my neck of the woods, keep between the two white lines bother. Love to see you enjoying the two wheel life. If you ever in the states hit me up. Don't have much, but I do have a dry corner to put a sleep bag and a nice shower. God Bless
That's possibly the best response I could hope for. I love building and making things myself, and to have given somebody else the want do something similar is amazing. Really glad to hear about your project and I really hope it works out. Thanks a lot and good luck :)
Very informative and you put those things very simply.Also polite language with humble voice with cinematic shots with nice BGM with perfectly text info.....very accurate mixture..Salute to your skills Vakilsahab.
Milind Paricharak thanks a lot 🙏🙏
Very informative - feel like having filter coffee & one to one chat session on motorcycling with you man , you are a true legend!! Cheers
Thanks a lot, Anurag. Definitely. Hope to do that someday. Filter coffee is mandatory.
Very nice and a patiently made video
And your engine looks clean too
Its one of the best motor vlogs i have ever watched! thanks alot :)
Thanks a lot, Alanz Alonzo
love to see you again man !! thanks for the information ..keep going man 😎👍👍
Thanks, Adeel!
Another good video, treat to watch... Keep posting Sir. 🤓
Thank you, Sapna.
the quality of the videos that you made in your ladakh ride is one of the best i have seen. Please make more videos on your rides
Thanks a lot. Hope to make more as I travel this year.
Damn. You rock champ. Such simplicity n modesty. Soul stirring narration’s.
Gr8 stuff
Col Sudhan. Indian Army
you kept every detail very simple and very useful , Thank you Rider . Keep posting
Thanks a lot :)
Bro, very informative video. Subscribed!! Impressed right from the first video I'm watched of yours. I own a 2017 RC 200. Touring is not it's thing, but I'd love to. Gonna follow your channel for tips anyhow.
Thanks, Akhil. The RC might take a toll on your back over a long tour. That having been said, a lot of people seem to ride them quite far. I don't think I would be able to though. Haha.
Great video dude. Simple, superb & very need based information. Thanks.
Thank you
Simple yet the best...
really good work...first time I don't mind seeing a biker talking this long...you are great dude...!!
Hahaha, that's good to know. Thanks, Soumadip.
I had same issue with Hazard button, but fortunately my Thunderbird was in Warranty period so I replaced whole console free of charge TWISE because other one also doesn't work properly.. I like watching your videos. you are going good bro. keep it up. stay blessed 👍
Haha. You are a lucky person. Mine failed after. I will have to live with it for now. Thanks for watching :)
Great job bro! Informative....
wow ..the light is just awesome
It really is :)
All your videos are amazing and informative. Keep up (Y)
Elsa Ann thank you
Nice video bro..especially the fog lamps..the difference was huge!! Bu the way which spark plugs do you use? Have you faced any jerking or missing issues with the EFI?? Can you plz make a video on that too?
Wow! Your new lights are really bright. I really like your new side carriers. Exhaust wrap reduces - that makes sense. You will need to cover your leather grips with plastic when you go to the mechanic.
superb bro just sawed vedio and it was useful and best of luck for your trips
Thanks a lot, Sujith.
Treat to watch!! Keep making more interesting videos like your all videos!! 🙌🏻😊
nikhil madhwani thank you, as always.
Nicely put!!!! Really loved the idea of not modifying ur bike too much!!! Have a question though... I ride classic 350, wanted to check with u the best seats for them as the default seats are very painful for my butt😡😡... Plz let me know...
U r such a great rider
Bro i really impress the way you spoke English as an Indian rider👍😁
Just subbed your channel. Great cinematography and a down to earth approach. Terrific rides in a part of the world I may never see. Thanks for sharing them. Keep the painted side up, brother.
Thanks a lot, JD Smith. You should definitely find a way to travel in India. It's something that has to be experienced. But until you actually do so, I hope I will be able to give you glimpses of what it has to offer through my content.
bro such nice experience you sharing ...keep it up..
Thanks, Nihal.
awesome bro .fr ur kind information it's helpful.keep exploring ,adventure.
Thanks, buddy.

Thank you, Darshan. :)
Great video brother that led though!!

Brother I trust you can you advise is it safe to change himalyan exhaust with an aftermarket exhaust? Like barrel exhaust or a reliable one?
Ur video always 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.....we waiting for touring video.... best of luck bro.
Thanks, Bilal. Hope to hit the road soon. I'm also really waiting for that. hahaha.
Great video!
ugh..ignore my previous requests, bud! Yo\Somehow I had missed the rest of your vids wher you aptly cob=vered it all. Good discovery..I wanna come back! Thanks for the edits and posts..not simple or easy to edit 100s of hours..of good quality feed. Wish you peace! Hope you find what u r searching for!
Great video mate. 👌😊
These accessories are indeed practical and you're honest about the other little fancy ones. Really useful information and I probably will get the LED headlight set. Happy thumping!
Thanks, as always. Yeah, the lights really help. Hope you're settling down well into the new scene.
Toll Free Traveller Not yet, but hopefully soon; Thanks for asking. And I hope to catch up with you sometime soon at my new city. 😊
Thumping Trips sure. You will eventually have to tell me where the new city is. Hahaha.
It's a treat to watch your videos brother. Recently I have bought my new bike Thunderbird 350x. When should I put engine oil when I'm going for long trips?
Can you do a video on your first bike and why you chose the bike you have now?
thanks buddy.. very helpful.
very meticulous and so much passion... Wow
:):)
your vlogs are awesome keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, Amod!

on YT
Thanks for the good wishes :)
Very well explained and nicely edited video, have watched all your videos and they are awesome, the way you describe your travels is very inspiring.
Keep up the biking spirit happy riding Bro.
One request, could you do a video on how to install the novatronix hazard system for ThunderBird? I have a TB350 and my stock hazard switches don't work anymore, would appreciate if you can make a video on this for DIY lovers.
Thanks again.
Thanks a lot, Abhishek. About the hazard light system, I actually did consider making a video, particularly because the videos put up by Novatronix are outdated and do not apply to the Thunderbird (the wiring is different). I only haven't done it because in this situation the manufacturer hasn't provided clear instructions, and I don't want to tell people to do things a certain way. It might affect warranty etc. Hopefully Novatronix will get new videos up - I've already suggested this to them. That having been said, if you do get the system, install it yourself (you can call and ask them to guide you through the process) - it's a lot of fun to figure out the electricals on your bike
Toll Free Traveller I agree with what you said, makes sense.
Thanks Bro, Ride safe! Cheers.
hey...i was fascinated by ur channel name man.awesome name...loved it much...
and u tooo..
ur way of explaining things is very humble and is very natural ...will u plz tell me, wat r the gud things u gain wen u travel alone ...?
Thanks a lot, Mohamed. The biggest benefit for me is that my plans remain fluid and I can do anything I want, whenever I want.
thanks for the awesome tips.. hope to see u someday..
Glad you found it useful. Thanks, Pritam.
awesome video..
Hey can you make a video about how to tie your luggage on to the bike properly
Keep up the good work...waiting for more...
Vishal Singh thank you
Hi, you have a very nice way of putting across all the details in a crisp and clear manner. Really enjoyed your Prep videos (Part 1 & 2). Could you also do some video on the safety gear? i want to pick up a nice all weather riding gear which do not burn a hole in my pocket, but getting confused with the various options available.
Hope you can help my decision making process.
All the very best for your future rides, and do let me know if you are around Bangalore some time, would love to meet and greet you.
Ride Royal - Ride Safe.
Hey, thanks a lot. I will definitely talk about the gear review at some point. For now, you might find it useful to read my post about Riding Gear Essentials on my blog www.tollfreetraveller.com. Budget is a huge factor for me as well, so I think you will find some useful information about good quality gear there. Thanks for watching and for the good wishes.
Good information 🙋
Good demonstrative video!
Thanks, Rohan.
very nice brother..i like ur style...here in Delhi- ncr roads are full of traffic and polluted ...Chennai seems to be a nice chilled out place with sea.
Thanks, Shekhar. Chennai city is quite crowded and polluted too, but the coastline makes a huge difference :)
Hi Toll Free Traveller, Can you please provide a link or name of the LED lights you bought from Ebay.
Gradual increase in subscribers count.. Great going.. 👍👍
Thank you. Much grateful to everyone who is watching, sharing and subscribing.
hi, nice video, just one question, what is use of the exaust wrap, is it really required for long rides?
Hey, thank you. I mentioned this in the video as well, but it is not at all a necessary thing. I've got it because I like the way it looks.
very nice video.. what are u planning next .. I wish I can meet and have a ride with you ppl. cheers
Thank you. Hoping to head to the North-East soon.
you are amazing sir....
whats the fuel economy of thunderbird on tours and top speeds...
please reply
It's around 28
Thanks for the video
Hi Toll-Free Traveller, Very nice and informative video...specially I likes LED lights and Hazard lights.. Keep it up...
Thanks, Ajinkya
Hey TOll Free Traveller, how do you manage tyre punctures / flats on highways? Do you fix them yourself? You mentioned that EFI system is not very reliable. Did you ever think of replacing EFI with carburetor?
So far I've not had to. But I carry a spare tube, tyre levers and an air pump, just in case. About the EFI switch, I plan to run it as is until things fail fully. Will weigh options at that time. For now, I'm just hoping it doesn't fail on me.
I love your videos and the background music that they have. Just wanted to know, what all remedy modification was done for the vibrations of the console panel, if any?
Thanks, Dhruv. Haven't tried to fix those vibrations.
Toll Free Traveller Please let me know, whenever you do. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Hope we ride some time together!
hi! have you thought of changing your stock headlight with an led headlight setup. there are a lot of options on amazon.
Hey, I've considered this, but adding the lights on the side was a far more economical option.
Nice Video and nicely explained. Also is the harzard lights only compatible with Royal Enfield or they are universal?
Thanks, Rohit. From what I understand these are for the RE only because the LED bulbs and stuff are designed based on the RE requirements. But you could write to the guys at Novatronix and ask them whether they've got something for other bikes too. I guess a lot of the technology will be similar, so they might be able to help.
WELL DONE
Very helpful video..but I have my honda shine..can I go to this type of long trip with honda shine? Or I should not?
A motorcycle like the Shine may have some limitations but I don;t see why it can't do long distance. It is a very reliable machine from what I know of it.
