I will miss Roger I loved watching you and Roger travelling all over😢😢
I know, but I promise Bella will be taking up the reigns 😊
What a great blog and a nice last ride on roger. He done you proud and showed you the way young padwar😂. 😂😂 star wars thing. Ref tea leaves you read what's left in the cup. And scones just eat the way you want too lol. Going to visit that locock 😂 looks amazing. An other great video. Ride safe and enjoy the great September weather 😂
Thank you 😊
Lovely video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Lovely slideshow at the end. You certainly had many lovely memories together with Roger. It’s one the features of the Royal Enfield, I feel they have so much character about them, and I hope Bella gives you the same. I have a Kawasaki W800, and despite the fact it is Japanese, it’s a bike with so much character to it, and like the Himalayan, it is basic motorcycling with no fancy gadgets or technology, doesn’t even have a fuel gauge, the only modern touch is ABS brakes. Glad to see Roger has a new home and the memories can continue!
Thank you, he will have a great time with Freddie.
I think that's the perfect solution for Roger you know he's going to a good home.
And what a perfect day for your final ride together
It was so lovely.
Good old Roger he never missed a beat & served you well through out your adventures , but he's gone to a good home , bless him
He absolutely has. 😊
I miss Roger already, soooo many adventures on that beautiful bike. Bring on Bella x
She will have big boots to fill. 😊
Great video, parting is such sweet sorrow. Lovely to see Roger go to a good home 😊
One chapter closes and another chapter opens. Enjoy all your new adventures on Bella. Ride safe.
Thank you 😊
Roger served you well. I'm glad you will still have a connection with him. A nice video thanks Charlie.
Thank you 😊
Bye Roger, out for new adventure.. Nice town beautiful Church, pretty place for lunch & a nap.. Lucky Freddie
Well done Charlie Roger has found a new home its nice to know he is going to be looked after and you won't be sad😊
Absolutely. 😊
What a lovely video that was. I was in a low mood today and that has cheered me up. Lovely sunny ride out to a beautiful place. The filming was fantastic as always and the choice of music was great. Lovey up lifting video. Thank you very much.
Glad to have helped your afternoon. 😊
Charlie, that was a lovely video and emotional send off for Roger the RE! I totally agree that you have outgrown him and more power was needed to execute those safe overtakes. But he hasn’t gone far and it sounds like he may re appear from time to time. 👍🏻
Absolutely. 😊
Looks like Roger has found another loving home. They are great bikes but I fully understand your very valid reasons for parting with him. I still have mine but can't quite bring myself to sell him. I was all set to sell until I had a great day out today riding the Derbyshire Dales on my himmy and throughly enjoyed myself. Looking forward to your adventures on the MT.
A fitting send off for Roger. Loved the little town you bumped into, what great history!! Glad your buddy bought Roger, a well loved bike, thank you, looking forward to your next vlog.
Thank you 😊
Fair weather and smooth roads to Roger! I’m sure you’ll keep in touch with him.
I absolutely will. 😊
It's a sad day to see Roger leave but good luck to Freddie. The adventures of the Royal Enfield Himalayan named Roger are what I wanted to see so I too will now leave 😢......... keep safe and enjoy that other bike. 😂 Thanks for all the videos 👍
Bye the way Charlie really enjoy your travel blogs. Thks
Thank you 😊
I'll miss that old thumper sound.
Fortunately you helped inspire me to buy my own Roger.
So when I'm out for a bimble on 'Donk', I'll always think of your Roger. 😊👍❤️
I'll miss it too, unless it's a long journey then my ears will be grateful!
Charlie, what a great ending to Roger's story! I hope that Freddie comes along with you and your friends in future adventures. Roger has been awesome and you can't take that away from him. So the next thing to do is to buy some panniers, top box, tank bag etc for Bella? Let the new adventures begin!
They're all on order! 😊
As long as Roger goes to someone that will enjoy and look after, that's the main thing anyone could want. Sad day but life goes on.
It's very true. 😊
Farewell roger been a pleasure to ride out with you 👍😎
End of one chapter and new chapter beginning. Cannot wait to follow along with Bella.
Thank you 😊
Nooooo………not Roger, gone.
It’s painful isn’t it letting a well loved bike go? Kept my last Bonnie for over 20 years - so many memories and even started our honeymoon on it. I saw it on auto trader a few weeks back, looking as lovely as ever and then it was gone so someone, somewhere is still enjoying her.
Comforting to know that Roger has gone to a good home and who knows maybe an update with Freddie in 12 months time to see what he and Roger have been up to?
Absolutely, I will be kept updated and pass it on. 😊
It's a good feeling when you know a bike (or car) has gone to someonee who will apreciate it and care for it.
Absolutely 😊
Hi Charlie. As I am from Devon, you got the scone just right with cream first and jam on top. Moving on to something new is what biking is all about.
Well who knew I'd get it right! 😊
I normally put the cream and jam side by side on the scone because I can never remember which way is right in Devon and which way in Cornwall. Do I avoid upsetting the locals by doing this, or do I end up offending everyone?!
Greetings from down under. Weeleese Wogger. Thankyou.
Wun Fweeeee
Morning Charlie,
Farewell to Roger, he's served you well and created a lot of cherished memories. He's going to a good home and you'll still see him👍
My opinion on the cream or jam first is that butter should be first, after that... please yourself 🤣
I will follow his new path. 😊
Thks Charlie, I didn’t know it was a twin, sounds impressive, hope you have many happy troublefree runs. Thks
Nice to see Roger ,going to a good home .
A lovely❤ vlog that Charlie. You’re right about being honest and knowing you won’t really ride Roger again. You’ve had the best of times with him and at least he will still be ‘close to home’ with Freddy. Your tea leaves said that you’ll be selling Bella in 18 months btw 😂. Onwards and upwards.
God I hope they didn't!!! 🤣
@@restdayrider I mean that in a positive way as there is always the next ‘perfect’ bike tempting us. Looking forward to your many adventures on Bella 👍
I'm glad your bike's going to a mate. I still have a fondness for my first bike (an awful 1981 Honda MT50) because that bike taught me to ride. The 50 also taught me that 50cc bikes are dangerous and my Grandson wasn't allowed one. He did his CBT 2 weeks ago and a little MUTT fat sabbath 125 was his prize. Another entertaining video from you
I had the Mutt Mongrel 125 and loved it!
Hope the new owner enjoys the Enfield as much as you did my best wishes to you all from the Philippines ❤️🌹💋💪👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴⭐
Thank you 😊
What a lovely send-off for Roger, he will keep his new owner safe rest assured.
Absolutely. 😊
i'm happy to know that Roger will stay in the "family". give us news about Roger as soon as you can, never forget Roger !
Absolutely, Freddie is keeping me posted 😊
Happy Trails, Roger! My Sujata found a good home, too 😊
Nice farewell & tribute to your great first bike--indeed a good decision, albeit bittersweet, to let him enjoy more miles with a very appreciative new owner vs sitting in the shed--odds are you'll still see him now & then!
Absolutely. 😊
Like your first real love, there will always be a tug on the ol heart strings when remembering good times . He did his job and you both have to move on💔💔
Absolutely, it was a tough decision, but the right one.
I have an Himalayan, a Honda sports bike and a Suzuki tourer and use all three on a rota basis. I wouldn't get rid of my Royal Enfield because it offers an authentic 1960s experience without the classic bike issues, but is only good for B roads really and a little green laning.
I suspect you may miss it more than you think when it's gone.
If I could have kept him, I would have. Logistically and financially it just wasn't do-able sadly.
Logical decision. Glad he has gone to a good home.
Lovely video.
I like how you can use post codes in UK to identify a position. (same in Holland)
Here in Germany a post code can cover 50²km or half a city.
Ah our postcodes are pretty specific. 😊
11K miles in a year is good going on any bike, let alone a slow one!
Roger served you well bless him
He did. 🩵
done you proud ,,did roger,,
He sure did. 😊
I will miss Roger, but I am looking forward to the adventures on the CF Moto.
It's going to be fun! 😊
If I remember correctly, Lacock has been used over the years as a film location for Periode and Middle-age films. I seem to remember my late Father once mentioning that.... he moved to Trowbridge after he was pentioned off, and spent much of his time exploring and documenting Wiltshire and it's history.
The hall is where they filmed the grand hall for Harry Potter
What a fitting end to your ownership of Roger, off to pastures new at a loving home 👍😎
Absolutely. 😊
😢 au revoir Roger........✌️🇨🇵
I always get a little sentimental when I trade in a motorbike or car. They brought me everywhere, never let me down, and when they get old they are dismissed. That's the way I feel anyway. But your Roger has a new good and happy owner which is a friend of yours so that's okay I guess. And what a lovely village this Lacock!! I will put it in my tomtom as POI. Hopefully next year...
I feel the same!
Bye bye Roger. It was a pleasure to meet you this year at the Dragon rally. Hope you have many more adventures. 🤣😂😂🤣
What a lovely bimble for Rog's last hoorah, he served you well Charlie and now Freddie gets to enjoy him😊
Absolutely. 😊
Roger is a brave soldier. He shall continue to serve, undaunted.
Saw Roger going through Devizes today, rider looked very happy.
That's brilliant! 😊
the new 650 Enfield is adorable . Rodger served you well i wrote when you got the new bike that you will part with Rodger sadly we can not keep them all unless your very rich
Very True.
What a shame you couldn't justify keeping him. He would have made a great project bike but he's gone to a fantastic new home eh. Let's hope your new bike has as much heart and soul as Roger 🙂
Ruby the Himmy says "So long Roger!"
😍
Good bye Roger! Have fun with your new partner!!!
I agree with you, Charlie, a bike is meant to be riden.
Roger was a lot like my CB500X. First bike to get back into the swing of things after 40 yrs.
Loved that bike but needed to upgrade after a yr of riding. Here in USA 🇺🇸/ Nevada we have open HWY’S that really require higher speeds. Interstate highways average 80 plus mph out west.
Question Charlie, have you guys looked at a Brake free helmet safety light yet? Love mine and have gotten many compliments on it. Not a bad price either.
Fun videos ❤
Stay safe 😊
I haven't seen those?
Brake Free helmet safety light. I highly recommend it. You’ll start a new very cool safety trend. ❤

It must be hard to say goodbye to Rodger but going to someone you know is great!
Being from Sussex, Cream then Jam though in Sussex you can do what you like because “We wunt be druv” 😊
I can’t part with my bikes, so now have three, my favourite Zac my Kawasaki Z400, Trevor my Triumph Speed 400 (very recent purchase) and Clyde my Honda Monkey 😂 I definitely not allowed any more, my husband will complain.
They are all very different bikes to ride.
Hahahaha! I wish I had the space , time and cash to keep a fleet!
@@restdayrider We don’t have the space either, they are squeezed in all over the place, my husband’s Ducati Monster SP lives in its own Asgard shrine, his other bike, our Daughter’s bike and my bikes have to rough it 😂
It’s sad when you out grow bikes, I am in the same situation with the Harley 883 Iron, not so much with the power but the diversity. At one point we had this exhausting period where we were testing all sorts of things, borrowed, rented and tested bikes to the point where we were constantly confused about it all. The Kawasaki x300 Versys was a contender I had even managed to borrow a friends for a month then a Honda crf300 rally. Then the new 450s dropped and well we ended up with the CF Moto 450MT the dealer and the price, plus the power difference. So we have two, and the Iron has to be moved on. I was lucky I mate took some of the jackets. Yes we went and got new textile jackets and pants. New enduro helmets. GF sold the BMW 310 GS. You don’t realise how much you get attached to them.
Welcome to the 450MT Club!
Aaawe bless Roger looks like he's gone to a good home from you're good home 😊
Absolutely. 😊
'It's not you Roger it's me' 🙁 'He's been struggling a little bit' ☹ We've all been there Roger, you deserve better Roger......plenty more fish in the sea 😁
He does deserve better! 😊
My granny use to read tea leaves and she prepped the cup somehow but it’s Definetaly the cup she read!
I commented when you bought the CF Moto it ws just a matter of time before Roger was gone . I traded my Himalayan in on somethig with a little more zip . I predict that a year from now you'll miss the simplicity of Roger wishing you still had him .
If I could have, I would have kept him. It's just not feasible. 😐
Great decision Charlie! Bikes sitting around with whichever fuel let alone E10. I have test ridden RE and once ridden a modern bike there’s no choice for me. Having ridden 125s for commuting etc and I totally agree you need some ooomph to be safe. I can even see you going up some more cc’s one day😂😂. Have you checked out the fix for water in the frame of your new bike. Vlogs on here to show you
Thanks, yes that's something I need to check on. 😊
The tea leaves show me quite clearly that you have recently enjoyed a nice cuppa.
Absolutely!
He did you (and us) proud Charlie, but it's for the best.....;-)
It is. 😊
It’s ridiculous I know, but I’m actually a bit sad watching this. I’ve really enjoyed your adventures with Roger.
While enjoying a trip around the coast of Wales last week on Rupert (my Himmy), I did think of Roger and what might become of him.
I thought maybe you could’ve encouraged your daughter to get her licence, and kept him for her. You could’ve gone on trips together with Roger and Bella. Still, I’m glad he’s going to a good home
I’ve done 7000 miles on Rupert in my first year of ownership and think he’s great. The only thing left to do is treat him to the performance cam, but I’m not fully convinced he needs it. Either way, I’m looking forward to many, many more miles with him.
It's like a first love. 😍
@@restdayridermy first love is going strong over 40 years ! I agree re touring my himmy is ideal for solo touring but in a groups it’s the NC gets the Gig. I recon you’ll be back after your fling !!
Roger why did you have to go let's hope the new owner looks after you be a good boy Roger
Well at least Rodger is still close enough for you to give him a polish when you feel as if you are missing him
Absolutely. 😊
Your riding has come on so far from when I first found your channel. You were too nervous to get on a dual carriageway. And now look at you. Great video. Jam first. Lol
Thank you 😊
Off camping (1st time) on my Honda 125 tomorrow (1 night only) with my eldest son (can’t remember what bike he has). Hopefully all goes well. Will try to film some of it. MOD 2 on Friday 🤞
Have a fantastic time! 😊
Logically..... You cut the scone in half, put the cream on one side and the jam on the other, and press the two halves together, this avoids any stability/compatibility problems.
They were enormous!
I thought I was the only person to pronounce picturesque like that 😂😂😂
🤣
Moving on and up hard but you said it you are a better rider thanks to ROGER. Bar the little woopsy the other week.
Absolutely. 😊
Good on ya. No point paying the cost of 2 bikes when you really only ride 1. At the end of the day the RE is a basic bike for basic riders, I think you are well past being a basic rider so yes I agree the RE should go. Enjoy your last ride but honestly the new bike (KTM) is more advanced and better for you being a more advanced rider..
Cheers. Dan in Australia
Thank you 😊
Lacock is the home of Fox Talbot who invented the positive negative photographic printing process - it is a pretty place! I still regret selling my first two stroke from the 70's - Roger will be ok!
He will be well looked after. 😊
Perhaps you can have the occasional ride with Freddie and Roger and we can see how they are getting on.
Absolutely 😊
I follow the channel of RobLittleUK and his group rides on small bikes of the Wiltshire Whizzers and it really looks like you have some lovely villages in your area
It's beautiful. 😊
The Wales piccy, the waterfall... near Elan Valley?
Yes!
Roger served you well but you needed a bit more top speed and at least he`s gone to a good home.
Absolutely. 😊
I read your tea leaves.... and they said Roger in the not too distant future will lead an uprising with John Conner against the machines of Skynet.... I think that means he's planning on taking over from Two Tier.... what is that useless toolmakers name!! Let's hope Roger can save us all...😂😂😂😂 Regards from Wroughton.👍👍👍👍
🤣
I've missed a few videos. What bike are you riding now? Thanks.
A CF Moto 450 MT 😊
Can’t beat a nice cream tea, I’m the Cornish way ( jam then the cream ) , stunning village , good bye to Roger 😢
But it made a smeary mess! 🤣
Charlie I wouldn’t have thought the cf moto 450 would be much more powerful of faster than roger?? Thks
It absolutely is, massively! The twin and 270 crank gives it constant power delivery so it's always ready to GO, besides it's almost double the HP!
Hi, I modified my Himi and she doens't run like a Himi anymore! My bike run faster and with far more torque than before. I can't overcome easily!
That’s two royal enfields that you have passed on , neither falling far from the tree. Will there be a third ? Enjoy your new trusty steed 😊 ride safe 👍
It's my compromise to parting with them; keep them close!
Roger and out
What bike is Bella please? Thks
CFMOTO 450MT. 😊
Hi Thks for that. Who makes the cfmoto 450 engine please? Thank you
The engine is produced by CF Moto themselves in China.
It’s cream on the scone first, unless you are some kinda Cornish barbarian 🙄! Farewell, Roger 🫡.
Absolutely, that made a much neater scone experience!
Jam first!! Good grief 🤦♀️ it's not rocket science!
It made a mess!
@@restdayrider exactly 😆👍
Bye bye Roger, you’ve done your job, now it’s time to move on….and leave the new bike to interfere with Jay’s rear end 😀😀
😂 I’m sure it won’t happen again!!
Hahahaha! Now that will be avoided at all costs!
You hope!
