What a nice ride and weather. In a few weeks I'm quitting my job here in the Netherlands and moving back home to Lithuania, getting a bike license and a CB500x. Can't wait to do such rides throughout the summer :)
This is what the Pacific Northwest in the US looks like (where I live now). I am so happy I get to ride like this almost every day. My daughter and I are going to do some rides together this summer, looking forward to it. Nice you and your father could ride like this.
Thanks - The video was relaxing to watch and captured the 'vibe' of the trip. It's a privilege for father and son to be able to share an interest and ride out together and that should be a memorable day for you both. I enjoy motorcycle trips to scenic places with my own sons and don't take it for granted that they want to spend their leisure time with the 'old man.' I also ride a Honda CB500X and really appreciate its versatility - It's a great bike! Cheers from Devon, UK and regards to your Dad too.
I have been riding 1000cc+ bikes since 1989, i have just sold my 2018 R1200GS Rallye back to my local dealer, i bought it new and got some cash back :) . I have wanted a Himalayan for ages since watching 'itchy boots' and 'KARMAkaze moto' youtube vids, those Royal Enfield engines and bikes just seem to go on and on ...2021 RE adventure it is then lol :D Brill vids you are putting out, new sub here :) all the best from the UK, you and your family ride safe and stay covid-19 free :D
Very nice video...excellent audio, beautiful filming, and beautiful country. I enjoyed watching your Father on the Himalayan and seeing that the Himi handled the road and the grades very nicely.
Wonderful video! Enjoyed the mountains, rolling hills, streams, the dam ( "Where's the dam bait," a good movie quote) and of course your co star Himy Dad. Glad you found time to enjoy this fine ride. Back to the Future 3, I think.
I was just over on your page the other day wondering where you went....I was running out of content to watch while the winter weather has had me pinned down (bike-wise).....and then out of nowhere, here you are...Itchy Boots wasn't putting out any content either, so I figured it had something to do with the lock downs over there....and now you are both back.....good to see!! We'll be getting a taste of spring here in New York this week...maybe I will be able to get out for a brep myself ...long overdue!
Again, many thanks to you and your Dad for giving me more routes to ride in the BE/LUX/DE area - looks really nice and well worth a tank of petrol! Me and Milady Kay will be there on our CB500Xs in 2022!!! Keep it shiny side up and greasy side down... Rgds
Nice video, came across your channel looking for a(nother) review of the RE Himalayan. That shit car remark threw me off, I was expecting to see a shitty car :D Also nice to see a motorcycle video in La Roche without irresponsible riding! Ride safe and keep the vids coming please! Grtz from Limburg :)
Hi Thomas! Very nice video as usual. The landscapes are superb. 👍 Roads? Where we're going (on our bikes), we don't need roads! 😉 I am gradually approaching this happiness of being a biker. Just got the theoretical part of my license yesterday. But the low speed exercises on a Z650 are still complex for me. 😐 Like Biff Tannen in "Back to the Future III" I don't really like manure. 🤣 Have a nice week!
I can ride the Himalayan 65 to 70 miles for days on the freeway in the slow lane no issues with stability, no vibrations, very comfortable, and the himalyan is easy in the twisties
Just for info, it’s totally forbiden to use any engine powered vehicle in dirt roads or paths in the forests in Wallonia since 30 years. Between fields, it's still allowed, but not when you have woods on both sides. Of course all roads are OK 👌
Nice trip with your dad there. Cool looking shades (sunglasses) you got there! By the way, did you change your tyres yet to more blocky/off road type? If so, what did you get, or what are you thinking of getting?
A great looking ride and nicely shot. Three questions if you don't mind; 1) I noticed you were not using the Quad lock, is that something you regret mounting? does it interfere with your view? 2) Are you still on the Dunlop stock tires or have you changed them? What will you change them to if you haven't already? 3) What is your background music? it' s nice. Keep up the vids, they are good.
Enjoyed the ride! Nice set up from your bikes. Im interested in a Himalayan with the same seat. As a reference how tall is your dad ? Keep up the nice work! I would say “ The good, the bad and the ugly”. Grts from belgian in South América .
Look for his video called Royal Himalayan 12000km Review (With his dad). I believe they discuss the custom seat. It was done by RayZ I think. It looks beautiful. Very well done. I remember this because as a tall guy I would want this seat if I purchase a Himalayan.
Really enjoyed the relaxing video with two of my favorite bikes, but I gotta ask...what happened at 13:54? No spaghetti for you, but why? No matter. Looks like a fantastic ride. Thanks for taking us along.
That was a wonderful video, and I liked those mountain roads that you were travelling on. Thank you. Are you able to recommend a town in South Belgium to stay at. A centre for making daily trips to travel on those roads ?
@@thebrightrider Thank you. La Roche-en-Ardenne ? That looks good. I shall try and plan a trip for post lockdown. Should be able to take in Waterloo too.
Wht a beautiful cinematography n nice place bro ! Just see n subscribed u and hope beautiful vlog in future.come to nepal riding bike.jai shambho !!😍😍🥰👍🙏🙏
Are you planning on getting more dirt oriented tires once your stock tires are used up? I am planning on getting the TKC80s for my CB500x. Also, the quote is from Back to the Future (specifically BTTF3). Thanks.
Hi brightrider. Did you find a need to replace the front 15 tooth sprocket for a 16 tooth sprocket in order to reduce the vibrations at higher speeds? Apparent some people are doing this, also to create a better range in the lower gears. I’m interested to hear your opinion. Really enjoying your vids from Brisbane Australia. I’m about to order a cb500x after 14 years 4 wheels only. Cheers
We are still under lockdown in the UK, so thanks for the tour of Belgium, it was great. I will give it a try myself sometime.... if the EU ever let Brits back over the border :-)
Nice video. Dus je hebt de hele 2007 rit gereden? dat ook een stukje in duitsland gaat? denk dat ik die rit ook eens wil doen op mijn moto. hoeveel km was de route? zonder snelweg
@@thebrightrider bedankt om te antwoorden. Nadat ik het gpx bestand op mijn gps gezet had zag ik dat er een korte rit optie was, dat was niet duidelijk op de website. Als het beter weer is eens die rit doen :) ben van oost vlaanderen dus ook 2uurtjes om er eerst te geraken. Wens u, je pa en je vriendin het beste
Kwaliteit is goed, maar het is geen premium. Heb hem ongeveer 3 jaar. Recent heb ik de koppelplaten moeten vervangen, toegegeven, heb zo ook zwaar belast in dat TET-tripje naar NL waar wel heel veel los zand was. Morgen gaat hij binnen voor vervanging van de balhoofd-lager. Er ligt ook al een nieuwe ketting en tandwielen op. Ben er nog altijd tevreden over, maa het is geen motor voor iemand die houdt van snelheid. Enkel als je veel autostrade moet rijden, zou ik hem afraden. Er staat trouwens een 'review' van de Himi op dit kanaal ;-)
As a father I really love the way you’re doing stuff with him. You will always have the memories of today.
Ya they are livin tha life, I hope I can ride bikes and bond with my son someday like this.

Such a nice ride! And even greater that you could ride along with your Dad! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Brazil!

Also nice to see a motorcycle video in La Roche without irresponsible riding!
Ride safe and keep the vids coming please! Grtz from Limburg :)
Hi Thomas!

I am gradually approaching this happiness of being a biker. Just got the theoretical part of my license yesterday. But the low speed exercises on a Z650 are still complex for me. 😐

Have a nice week!
Congrats on passing the theoretical license! I also did my low speed examination on the z650, takes some getting used to... Good luck!
Good vibes! Quote is from one of the many ‘Back to the future’ movies
HimyDAD ,ben vorige week mijn Himy gaan oppikken.Jullie filmpjes hebben wel invloed gehad op mijn beslissing.Drive safe !
@@williamvangindertael2403 Top! Geniet ervan 🛴
I can ride the Himalayan 65 to 70 miles for days on the freeway in the slow lane no issues with stability, no vibrations, very comfortable, and the himalyan is easy in the twisties
I agree!
Nice ride, spring will soon be here.
Over here in the UK no pleasure riding is permitted at the moment, but my bikes are ready to go:)
We’ve been there too ;( it’ll be twice the fun when things settle down :)
Continue to ride with your dad. Life is short !
Ik geniet altijd van je films. Zuidlaren, Drenthe is a beautiful place, have you ever had a bike trip there?
No not yet, I'll be sure to look it up, thanks! :)
That's beautiful, I'd love to ride there. Your dad looks like a movie star (for rugged movies).
Just for info, it’s totally forbiden to use any engine powered vehicle in dirt roads or paths in the forests in Wallonia since 30 years. Between fields, it's still allowed, but not when you have woods on both sides.
Of course all roads are OK 👌
Spending time with your dad. Awesome
well done, i use to ride a lot in the "Ardennen" some time ago on my Yamaha thunderace 1000.
"Thunderace"
1:53 You know there's a song by the Nits 'In the Dutch Mountains'? And we have even less 'mountains' than you have! :-)
Nice video! Congratulations!
Great video, awesome looking area! I’ve just brought a Himalayan and will be riding backroads and beaches on it here in New Zealand 😎
Sounds awesome!
Very nicely done.
My college son and I just started riding , hope to have times like this. Karl from Illinois
Could do without the F word tho
Great to see you able to ride late February in Belgium! We sure can't in Canada....awesome fun
You're in the wrong part of the country! But there's already too many here, so no, you're in the right part. lol 😂😐
another nice vid bud :)
Nice trip with your dad there. Cool looking shades (sunglasses) you got there! By the way, did you change your tyres yet to more blocky/off road type? If so, what did you get, or what are you thinking of getting?
Did not do it yet, dealer said it's not yet necessary :) Thinking about pirellis or mitas
@@thebrightrider what about Dunlop Trailmax Missions?
A great looking ride and nicely shot. Three questions if you don't mind;
1) I noticed you were not using the Quad lock, is that something you regret mounting? does it interfere with your view?
2) Are you still on the Dunlop stock tires or have you changed them? What will you change them to if you haven't already?
3) What is your background music? it' s nice.
Keep up the vids, they are good.
Thanks! - quad lock works great for me :) - still stocktires and for new ones probably pirelli’s or mitas :) - music is by chris haugen!
Enjoyed the ride! Nice set up from your bikes. Im interested in a Himalayan with the same seat. As a reference how tall is your dad ? Keep up the nice work! I would say “ The good, the bad and the ugly”. Grts from belgian in South América .

the movie quote is a good guess, but not correct :)
Merci à vous deux, pour cette belle vidéo.
Really enjoyed the relaxing video with two of my favorite bikes, but I gotta ask...what happened at 13:54? No spaghetti for you, but why? No matter. Looks like a fantastic ride. Thanks for taking us along.
Woudn’t be a great idea to eat from the same plate at the moment ;)
@@thebrightrider Lol. I've made that mistake, too! I'll never again forget to bring my food gear (I hope). Looking forward to your next one!
All that slurry right next to the river? Nice. Legal? Another great video also. 👍
Beautiful.
That was a wonderful video, and I liked those mountain roads that you were travelling on. Thank you. Are you able to recommend a town in South Belgium to stay at. A centre for making daily trips to travel on those roads ?
La Roche is right in the center of those roads :)
@@thebrightrider Thank you. La Roche-en-Ardenne ? That looks good. I shall try and plan a trip for post lockdown. Should be able to take in Waterloo too.
@@johnfew5145 Great idea!
Nice, enjoyable video. Thank you. Are you still on stock tyres for your gentle off road riding?
Yep, not sure yet between the pirelli mt60's or the Mitas eo7
I wish if u could get ur machines to the home of the Himalayan, u will enjoy every turn....
One day... :)
2 fantastic bikes
Nice footage, very nice, no offense but the music was better than any commentary. The RE suites your dad, cool looking dude.
Like a glove 😎
500x great bike , I bought a 2016 a year ago
That's Back to the future 😎🔙 great video!
Yes! And thanks!
Very nice video, beautiful part of the country 👍👋
Wht a beautiful cinematography n nice place bro ! Just see n subscribed u and hope beautiful vlog in future.come to nepal riding bike.jai shambho !!😍😍🥰👍🙏🙏
Thanks!
Sorry I didn’t hear your comment about the fuc..ng spaghetti meal 🤭. Your dad looks like he wants to press on. Is he a speedy rider ?
Exactly the opposite ;p
Are you planning on getting more dirt oriented tires once your stock tires are used up? I am planning on getting the TKC80s for my CB500x.
Also, the quote is from Back to the Future (specifically BTTF3). Thanks.
Yes probably pirelli’s or mitas :) and your comment will be in the next video!
Great video...Quote: Back to the Future Part3
would love to ride in Belgium one day : )
Royal Enfield is best
Beautiful ride. Nice video. Nice music. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed :)
Great video! Quote is from Back to the Future III.
Apart from you riding on the right hand side of the road i would have thought that you were in England.
sorry mate, it is you guys that are on the wrong side of the road only the trains ride left in Belgium LOL 🤣🤣🤣.
Beautiful
Hi brightrider. Did you find a need to replace the front 15 tooth sprocket for a 16 tooth sprocket in order to reduce the vibrations at higher speeds?

To be honest, that wouldn't be a bad idea.. the vibrations do bother me on the highway.. Hope you enjoy the bike when it comes!
Hey! What was that background guitar music? Name or the guitarist or name of that music? I loved that.❤️
Music was by Chris Haugen :)
Suzuki v strom 650 or Honda cb500x? Yours recommended?
HIMALAYAN
This was inspiring. Thank you
#INDIA
Would you swap your CB500X for your friends Versys 650? :)
Movie quote is from Back to the future.
No I'm happy with my CBX :)
is good to see something real rathe than cesspit media talking about corona BS
Nice Video again. Can you please provide link to the bags your father is using on the Himalayan ? THX
As I said in the video, the link for the gpx download is in the description :) The bags are from Givi, you'll find them on the site
BUEN VIDEO, DESDE COLOMBIA, TNGO UNA HIMALAYAN, PARA TRABAJO PESADO EN LAS MONTAÑAS
The "shitcar just passed" hahahahahha
@Caroline Vergauwen Mo... Wie we daar hebbe. Zech, U reacties staan uit op U kanaal. Flauwe 🙊
Is the Himalayan different from the one found in India ?
Which of the two do you find to be more grounded or stable doing 55-65 mph? Thank you!
Definitely the CB500X ;)
nice view s bro
We are still under lockdown in the UK, so thanks for the tour of Belgium, it was great. I will give it a try myself sometime.... if the EU ever let Brits back over the border :-)
you are very welcome in Belgium/eu but ride on the right side of the road will you please 😉
