You have beautifully expressed alot of us older guys feelings about losing our Dad's and how life is very short watching our children grow up. Thanks
this
Amen to this mate. I’m 41 and unfortunately lost my best mate (Dad) to Dementia back in November 2023. It’s been a very humbling & cathartic viewing, though loved every moment of it 🤙🏻♥️
Spot on Michael. Motorcycles, adventure, the recent loss of my Dad and putting our sometimes troubled relationship into perspective. This series has stirred up a lot for me, but in a really positive way. Thank you Adam for making this about more than just a motorcycle/trip review and turning it into something truly special for many people.
Absolutely- I had recently lost both of my parents and I too have 2 girls - absolutely enjoyed this series of films - thank you
this channel is underrated if you look it from a certain angle this guy does a top class editing & best production value. in certain ways i say its slightly better than itchy boots when it comes to raw adventure & story telling itchy videos are good but its a liquid type camera flow without action in certain scenes.
Adam as a father myself who has never chosen the correct path as a father always thinking being away earning money for my children's future was more important than being there in person for my kids , to the point where my 4 children hate me for all my bad decisions , now i fighting to survive my fight with Aml leukaemia doctors told me to go home as well just like your father , said i have 2 mouths to live make peace with your kids , 6 yrs later im still fighting no pain killers no medical treatment other than a brain tumour removed last october my journey continues never giving up making sure i tell my kids every day i love them, even though 3 of them never say or show it back, i can understand your side of things with your father as i can understand his i don't know your father but as a father going through the same heart ache i believe he is proud of you and loved you more than you could ever imagine i believe he has taught you a lesson in life to how you should love your wife and children , he taught you this by not doing it right himself grab hold of his mistakes use the anger and heart ache he caused you to become a great man father and husband he has given you a gift mate, and the man i see in you with every adventure you do gives me courage to keep fighting to keep loving life no matter how hard it is no matter who hates me or loves me to become that wild horse running through life beating all those who hunt him , you Adam are a inspiration to all that comes across you either here or in real life time too stand tall and proud of the man you have become , IF YOU WAS MY SON I WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU, YOU'RE ARE A LEGEND
Sucks about kids nowadays. Not much respect going around. Ride as much as you can!
Well written, been there, done the same, money over family. Kids had all the toys all the material stuff, the reality is all they needed was their dad.
Everything in life is a lesson, lesson through experience. Soon or later we all pay our bills and this is not a bad thing. That's how we become better persons in this or in the next lives. And if there are no "next life" it is ok again - the good decisions and the wright acts are bettering other people, so it worth it. Ride as much as you can, friend.
All the best sir, wish you good health and happy family times.
Sadly it's too long ago and I was too young to remember the good times with Dad. Once the marriage broke down with Mum he was done. He had 2 more boys with a second wife who became his life. My sister crazily took her own life and he was at the funeral with his boys. After the ceremony was done, he approached and I put out my hand to shake his. He made no eye contact and continued on his way. I knew we were done forever. When I heard he was dying, I made every attempt to contact. I heard nothing back. I didn't attend the funeral. There are sadly zero feelings for the person who was biologically my father. It could have been so different. I am a father and grandfather now. I cannot understand how a person becomes so bitter with innocent kids.. Adam your work is an inspiration. I jump aboard my ageing GS and the world becomes a different place. Bless you and your family.
Adam & Arvind..... complementary
cheers
@@arvindsingh_Tourbugs I hope a lot of people learn to ride slow with you
@@arvindsingh_Tourbugs
You are a Hero Arvin and a great personality.
Thank you for your support and love for our community.
My dad is 70, he rode in Himalaya last october. We watched your films together this evening, it really got to me how happy i am To be able to ride with him and to have him around.
A great big Thank You for the beautiful films. 🙏
Namaste.
Royal Enfield is going to thank you for the way you have made this Bike look in your videos. Even Royal Enfield could not do marketing the way you have done it for them.
نعم يجب تكريم هادا السائق من شركة Royal Enfield ❤
As a solo bike packer who uses a drone, I can't really see how he could be taking those shots himself. There must be a small production company behind him. Not taking away anything from it.
@@BreezyE-d3n You obviously didn't see his camera & drone gear and just assumed
@@sarojpradhan1250 I did just assume. I mean, if he did it himself, hats off to him, that's amazing. Just from my own personal experience it's not very easy, not to mention very dangerous in situations like these. Maybe he's got some crazy new drone I don't know about. I have a DJI Air S2 and it would've gone into that cliff for sure, not to mention the battery life is limited. Then you need to carry a bunch of batteries around with you and get them charged up along the way. I'm wondering where his controller is when he's driving because I can't see it on his handle bars. But like I say, good for him. This is what I thought solo drone use could be in the future, but maybe he's way ahead, of me at least.
@@BreezyE-d3n You can use the active track function for those shots. It tracks quite well. I love how Adam always drives into focus when he does the camera/tripod shots. Also his framing is really nice, he's not always at the center of the screen and shows the epicness of his environment.
Adam without a doubt this is the best motorcycle video I have ever watched. It was incredible from the music to the scenery. Your interactions with Arvind are awesome. I had a tear in the eye at the end when you were talking about your kids. I also have a son and a daughter and I'm trying my best to provide for them and set a good example. I love riding my bike whenever I can and watching your videos is motivation to get out and push myself to become a better rider. In my opinion you are an absolute legend. Thank you.
Bloody hell, now i want to go to the Himalayas and ride a Himalayan. Impressed with that Royal Enfield, it took everything in its stride.
The man who single-handed made motorcycling great again. Thank you, Adam!
@kalpetkoff behave 😂😂😂
Arvin is an angel sent by your father to keep you safe and guide you, to have support if anything were to go wrong.
Hi Adam, thank you for letting us ride underneath your helmet. I don't want to say much, I tend to get emotional, but the way you transmit exactly what you must have been feeling, I can almost smell the dust on the overhung road. This is just so marvelous!
India was once upon a time part of Gondwana. About 100 million years ago it broke off from Australia and slowly drifted North until it collided with Asia about 40 to 50 million years ago and it created the Himalayas and is still creating the Himalayas. So cool. So really Adam, you're adventuring on what was once part of Australia and Antarctica. Kind of mind blowing!! Your videos are as awesome and inspiring as always. Love ya work!
I have ridden in Ladakh multiple times and many times I wonder about this. There are many "hills" which are made of mud, sand and round stones. These stones very in sizes but are round with smooth surfaces. That can only happen cos of years of water flowing on them and they are embedded deep in these hills. Only explanation would be that the land was somewher else and drifted and joined the Himalayas as you said.
"A warrior is defined by his scars, not his medals...."
All this time i follow your chanel, i am amazed by your"riding medals"....
Now, i thank you, i respect you, i sallute you for showing me your scars...
Legend....
What a beautiful journey Adam! The storytelling, the cinematography, amazing!!
Those last few minutes brought me to tears, lost my dad earlier this year. It is a beautiful episode and made me think of your Himalayan Hero movie often times.
Whatever happens, i'm going to ride those epic roads somewhere in the next few years. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Thanks for creating this.
same thing happened to me i cried too 😭😭😭
me too
There really aren’t enough superlatives in the thesaurus to cover this adventure, just incredible. All I can say is that the Royal Enfield has truly lapped up everything that Adam has thrown at it and got him to some incredible places 👍
Lets just take a moment here to recognise the shear amount of effort going into bringing this epic adventure to our screens. Riding a route like that would be hard enough, let alone all the set up and re set up required to record the bloody thing! And as I'm sure many of you will know, the last thing on your mind when experiencing something as soul destroying as a flat tyre, is whipping your camera out to record the whole painful event. Oh and wait there's more, once you've got all that hard won footage, you then have to edit the thing to perfection FFS. I've nothing but full, unadulterated respect for this man, Adam, thank you from the bottom of my ever grateful heart.
The message you share throught this video, you and Arvind, not only showing us how it's done but also why, damn it hits hard. I very rarely comments youtube videos but on this one I just can't hold back. Reminds me my own adventure in 2018. I was 22, flew from France to California, bought a motorcyle to a perfect stranger. We spent time together, he taught me how to ride off road, gave me the best advices he had, anything that could help. Eventually he offered hospitality for way more than a couple of nights, I met his wife and they became my friends. I hit the road, 8 months later I reached Santiago in Chile and it was time to go home. I visited him in 2022 when back to the US for long vacations, and it felt really good to meet again someone that counted so much for me in my trip. Sadly, I never saw his wife again, cancer took her away in 2020. Each time I take the bike for a long trip, I think about the moment we sayed goodbye, without knowing that we would never be able to meet again, and it makes me smile, cause it makes her very much alive in my mind. The last minutes of your video brang back all thoses memories. So, a big thank you for daring to tell us all this about how you feel, in the end I think that's what matters most.
thanks a lot mate. great words.keep riding.
@@arvindsingh_Tourbugs Every day man. You have a beautiful spirit, reminding me all the amazings souls I met on my way. Thanks to you !
Holy cow.....the music and that mountain riding scene.........
The drone shots are incredible.
Truly epic.
Honestly, this is the best series i ever watched. Thank you sir.
No one does it better than you bro! Every time I watch a video of yours, I want to sell all my bikes and pick up a Tenere
Same 💯, I own a KTM duke 390… Tenere has become by dream bike, because of Adam… currently I think of selling 390 for a Himalayan!
Then why the procrastination? :))
Ts what I did! Never looked back... except to look at the Raid when I park it up 😊
Thanks!
I lost my dad 3.5 years ago. He's the reason I ride and have a garage full of bikes. It would've been something to do a trip like this with him. Now he's with me in spirit on my rides. One day dad, we're going to go on some epic adventure rides.
👍😎Adam is the man! The war horse would love that place.
My father and my wife passed away 4 years ago.And I had to help grow our two children, so I understand the words you have said. Believe me, your daughters are lucky that you think like this and you will notice over the years. Now that I can, I have returned to my dear motorcycles. Your trips are an inspiration for me.
Best 38 min spend on YT this year.
Thanx man for wakeing up conection with my kids.
and this is how a himalayan 450 should ride. what a machine. and arvind is truly a legend.
Again Riemann, thank you, well done. A lot of us old boy's are watching and I would like to say, THANK YOU.
“The physical passing didn’t leave a hole because the hole was already there “ - Brother, that line literally sucked the life out of me. I felt that too. This was all such a a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your humanity. Cheers from California.
Adam & Arvind it has been a pleasure to watch you both in such an amazing part of our world. All the best to you both much respect from New Zealand
Thanks a lot mate. cheer keep riding. love from India
@@arvindsingh_Tourbugs If I ever travel India on my bike or any other bike, I will look up Arvind and ask him to be my guide. Not only guide the route, but also to help guide through life. Such a humble, wise and helpful person. Respect to you brother, stay the Arvind we got to know during this adventure.
The Himalayan just getting it done. Nothing else needed to be said I like it!
I just flew out of Leh yesterday after 5 weeks of epic riding on the old Himalayan - it was also a return for me after my first visit 12 years ago. Riding through these incredible landscapes and on these epic roads like through the Zanskar Valley are indescribable experiences that you just can’t relay to others. Thank you Adam for this gift I can now share with others.
My Father is still alive at 91 but sadly I cannot share these incredible experiences with him, as my brother nearly died in motorcycle accident, and it would kill him if he knew what I was doing…. You have memories with your father to treasure forever.
I missed a ton of my kids younger lives due to being in Iraq and Afghanistan with the military. It killed me to leave them, and to this day we’re still not as close as I would like - and I’m positive it’s down to too much separation during their formative years. Only a very lucky few ever get the work/family balance right - the rest of us can only do our best! Ride safe mate.
Adam you were spot on, Episodes 3 & 4 just on another level. Really honest too…authentic & human. Thank you I’m really enjoying this series 🙏
This is FU..ING AMAZING !!!! It touched my heart in a way i´ve experienced maybe two or three times in my life. And i found a lot of common grounds with your story. I lost my father almost 3 years ago. He was not ill, only old. But in terms of relationship, i think it was the almost the same as you. I also got two girls that are my sunshine every morning. And of course i´m a motorcycle enthusiast. I´m so ashamed writing this lines. Looks like a penthouse letter... jajajaja. Keep it this way. Godspeed !
Hats off for you and Aravind. ❤ from peshawar Pakistan.
Best motorcycling video ever. Just binged all episodes in one sitting🫡
Me too...EPIC....!
Brilliant series. It would be great to see Sir Enfield join the Warhorse back in Australia.
When I travelled this area,it was a different time. Early 1980ies me and a travel companion wanted to go from Srinagar to Leh. There was only a small road over the mountains, but still closed the end of msy. We flew to Leh, a small quaint little village. Already then some locals wdre alarmed by the rapid change and decline of their unique culture. There were a few guesthouses only. No road to Manali, no racing around the roads, little tourism. It was stunning. On the return to Srinagar we travelled in (or on top) of an army truck. I will never forget this utterly amazing journey back. The journey was slow, , hairpin curves with the feeling you were driving into the deep laying ravin. Stopped overnight in Zanskar and stayed with local family. Also Srinagar was so low keyed and romantic. What a time!!. I have moved from the USA to Kathmandu a decade ago ,,where I currently live. Also totally changed
Your journey is wonderful , but it makes me also a little breathless.
Constant speed ,on the go ,while this landscape invites just being still at times..
Special mention about the drone tracking shots.. they were simply incredible..what moves and angles! couldn't be better! Very inspiring!
probably the best video, yet.... i admire you alot started watching your videos 10 years ago you were like 40k.. cant remember, keep pushing, keep making your videos , you make the world a better place for millions of people out there.
Thanks for the journey My dad was much like yours we didn't have a close relationship but he did buy me my first motorcycle at 12 years old providing me with a lifetime of fun and joy!
can't wait to be able to purchase this bike in the US...
Beautiful drone footage. The Royal Enfield is definitely holding up! Thanks for sharing.
what a perfect circle Adam! the experience must have been so special for you!
Lost for words yet again… teared up when you got emotional about your girls. Fabulous video yet again!!
What a fantastic beautiful series thank you so much 💪👌🇬🇧
Op twee wielen door de natuur. De vogels de andere dieren die meelopen en de kwetsbaarheid in jezelf vinden. De dood van dierbaren verwerken gaat zo goed als je alleen bent, of zoals hier met iemand die langzaam je „blood Brother“ wordt.
De eenheid met je motor, de gedachten aan vrouw en kinderen brengen je zo dichtbij het mooiste wat er is. Wat een prachtige eerlijke films maak je toch. Iets waar veel mensen wat aan hebben. Ik ben dankbaar je films te mogen kijken. 🙏 Edwin
This guy! 👌 started watching him a few years ago because I was into bikes - and he was good! - but he gives so much of himself it’s hard not to have a genuine interest in everything. Genuine bloke, genuine experiences, an absolute original 🙌
My parents are visiting and I my father happened upon this video which was queued up on the TV, and he was absolutely captivated. He's 82 and never ridden a motorcycle, but watched the entire Tibetan Plateau video. He was enthralled! He won't stop talking about it, and that it is a huge testament to your sense of adventure and your quality as a filmmaker. Bravo, and thanks for helping my dad understand a bit better why I love motorcycles. Cheers from Seattle, WA, USA.
Aravind...what a guy.... RESPECT. Your father maybe gone, BUT not forgotten Adam ❤
Totally epic, touching, and heartwarming...I had a tear in my eye at the end. I nursed my dad through a degenerative lung disease and had to be there with him 24/7 at the end. The hospital would prop him up with pure oxygen and send him back home, in the end it came down to a hospice and he went in for respite to give us a rest but I knew it was the end somehow. I remember meditating before bed and feeling his presence, my phone went off and the hospice said he'd just past. I knew he was in a better place and never mourned him as I continued to feel his presence for weeks, and then it just disappeared...I figured he'd just joined the everything again. You and Arvin were supposed to share that very special experience no doubt, we all have so much to offer one another.
Himaleyan hero, it was awesome
Lots of lesson to learn from this one as well my brother!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love, Health and positive thoughts for you and your FAMILY!
The Journey was so engaging that I never felt the urge to skip ahead at any point. The pace at which it was presented was beautifully done.
I am speechless,, very emotional, you are a hero ,,thank you
Awesome 4 episode series, excellent visuals, laconic comments and honest depth about family. You nailed the desire for the relationship with children, as a dad of four I salute you. Thank you
It's touching the heart, man. You are getting us so close to your fellings. You are the Legend, Adam. Absolutely amazing. Thank you. 🙏
Had to watch this again, best motorcycle adventure film I've ever seen! Epic, truly.
Danke Adam für diese Video
Is anyone going to mention the insanely great drone footage? Adam is the least afraid to get the drone out, of any motovlogger out there. (Drone just missing the cliffhang and staying with the bike around 5:30 was chef's kiss!)
I had a similar relationship with my dad.Nothing much was taught and said and when he passed,in Adam's words,"the hole was already there..."So It didn't matter that much.
And yeah,I think it's safe to say you're the only rider who milks every drop of potential from the Himalayan as a matter of fact,the way you plan on how things should be and your grind for excellence/perfection,I feel your bike talks to itself that it should not break down and disappoint you.
If I needed a guide there, I feel like Arvind is the man for the job! He seems like such a great human being!
Also, these videos are the best ads ever for actual dual sport / adventure bikes. It's not all shiny, the mud, the snow, the dirt, the flat tire. These bikes are made for that. And through hardship they give us access to insane scenery.
This small series was another banger Adam!
You will be a great father. And you are such a legend. 🙌🏻 pray that you get back safe to all your girls for all your years to come mate. Be blessed.
What a constant life philosophy - doing this for our children. It is great how you gave Arvind (sp?) time to express himself too.
Fantastic setting and cheerfully sad story. Beautifully said everything.
A slower pace of life up there. Great photography and content!
Dammit Adam, i literally just got home from riding my motorcycle....turn the computer on and voila....the new video. Now, I just wanna go ride again. I have shit to do!!! lol. Thanks for the video. Awesome as always. Incredible looking trip.
Dear Adam,
3 years ago, I lost my dad and I can realise your pain. I have relearned everything with his memories & still I am pursuing my life. When I purchased my first ROYAL ENFIELD, he was with me on delivery day. He felt so proud of me as he said once upon a time. While I was going for a motorcycle trip, he was worried about me. He was so caring about me. I got only 15 minutes while he was asking me to bring him to the nursing home, that night I didn't get any ambulance service. I can't forgive myself till now. While I started to watch this video, I was enjoying it a lot. But in the end, it brought me that sad day. I believe he is taking rest in peace.
Does anyone know how to contact Aravind Singh, as he does tours it would be great to support him when we go
Yes he runs a great touring company - th-cam.com/channels/xRrTfsYXZJVDaKsEMbRbuw.html

Hey Adam,
Your channel has literally been one of the first channels I started to follow when I got into the "adventure bike" thing. I religiously watch your videos as they come out and each time a find a nugget of gold ! Your work and effort has really sparked a sense of exploration. For that I would like to say thank you!
In fact your work has sparked such a sense of exploration I'm currently packing up my house and stuffing it into storage and going travel on my trusty XT660R through Southern Africa as a Digital Nomad ! Minimum 6 months ... probably more. Know there will be sucky parts but, I feel that is part of adventure !
Arvind has such deep knowledge of Ladakh
Lots of love from India, Adam. Following you for so many years. Thank you for sharing your heart. Cheers.
Paradise 🎉❤
you make the best adventure videos ever... cant wait for the next one. Got to love the philosofy of simplicity and the pleasure of life and adventure.
Justs which this last night great video just ordered my Himalayan 450 today down here in new Zealand thanks to you
Cheers 👍🏻 🍻
Brilliant series, what an amazing trip. The best travel movies have a back story and it was great seeing you achieve some closure with your late dad. Stunning scenery, great filming and Arvind is obviously a lovely guy with a passion for adventure. Some of the best friendships are made on the road. Get Arvind over to Oz and take him on a trip there, I'm sure it would make another great video!
wow, what a stunning masterpiece, really! We all know, that in our world there are such terrifieng things happen and people are out there, were not so nice to other people. But when i watch your videos from your tours, it´s remind me, that our world is such a wonderfull place to be and that 99,9% people out there so unbelievable good to strangers are!
Adam is one of my favorite person in social media, we can learn so many things from his words, big salute to Aarvind as well
thanks a lot mate.cheers
Love this documentary ❤❤❤❤
So wonderfully human, profound, moving. Great job you wise men
A truly memorable video Adam. Thank you so much
Epic. You were close to God.
Inspiring! The amount of Father & Son comments here is really thought provoking.
So fantastic !! Namaste !
Adam...you nailed it mate, what an epic adventure, your dads passing opened the way to reach your peak👍🤜
I never met my father but I have always been there for my 2 children and now for my grandchildren. The end of this amazing story bought a tear to my eye but it was a good tear, thank you! Family is everything and all that you put it you get back and more!
Your film making and story telling skills are another level. Your riding isn’t bad either😉 What a pleasure it’s been following your journey so far! Thank you again🙏
Thanks for showing us and giving us a insight into the beautiful world we live in. It looks like Adventure riding paradise. ❤
I'm not crying! Must have got some dust in my eyes.
Adam and Arvind, a beautiful syncopated relationship. You clearly both grew as people. My dad is still alive and I don’t have children but your heartfelt musings on life’s journey still hit home Adam. I usually like your KTM blasts but this Royal Enfield journey is one of your best films. Stunning piece of art in every way. Arvind was a joy!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Best motorcycle content on TH-cam...period!!!
My dad got me into motorcycle riding 45ish years ago. Saw I had an interest in it, bought a SL125 Honda for me, a XL175 Honda for him and a step through 90 for mom (dual range transmission and everything ha ha ha). We rode in the forests of coastal Oregon. Little did they know they planted a seed in me and I had a life long career in the motorcycle industry. I just recently retired and my wife and I are exploring the US and I have two bikes with me. Even my dog is named Moto. My kids think I'm cool. Life is good. RIP dad, thanks for everything.
This is by far the best motorcycling story I've ever seen. Cheers to you Adam!!
And Arvind, you the man👍
Roadshakers 🤘
Perfect chilled our Saturday morning viewing with a coffee, just wonderful. Definitely inspiring a trip over there to experience it.
The youngest mountain has the ability to bring about the most primeval of human emotions. Stunning shots. Beautiful words. May you dad rest in peace.
Wow. Just awesome. You are a good guy sir. Excellent footage.
I just love your story telling can hear for all day long ...your subscriber for a long time .....the best thing in youtube is your vlogs .Respect a lot Sir your a legend .God bless you and your family always .
Watching your videos is so relaxing. Thank you Adam
This is the pinnacle of motorcyling adventure..
