Riding Video: 1,500 miles on Royal Enfield Bullet 500 in Rajasthan, India Feb 2019

Sunday 20th October 2019

Well seems I’ve finally figured out how to use the basic features of a video editing application 🙂 So I’ve put together a collection of on-bike video clips and photos taken during my Indian Rides adventure to Rajasthan, India in February this year. The idea is to give you all a view of some of the riding we did during the trip and the fun we had.

Apart from a few main highways with new tarmac, most of the roads in Rajasthan are poor, making even our pothole ridden roads in the UK look good in comparison. Once you get off the beaten track things get even more interesting, including sand, BIG holes and lots of animals!

The only driving rules are that there are no rules; no one makes eye contact!! “I’ll go wherever I like and its up to you to avoid me” is the attitude; once you realise that it all becomes normal! Having said that, somehow it all works..I didn’t see a single accident during 1500 miles on a complete mix of roads, including riding through big towns.

The Royal Enfield Bullet 500 single is the ideal bike for these roads; it’s motto is “Made like a Gun”. Although some of the on-bike video quality could be better it will give you a feel of our riding experience and you can hear the great noise made by the big Bullet single 🙂

This was a great biking adventure; 12 days of riding on the classic Royal Enfield Bullet 500, curry for lunch and dinner every day and lots of Kingfisher beer to wash it down in the evening..what’s not to like 🙂

Thanks again to Narendra at Indian Rides for showing us round and to my riding buddies Fred & Bo who provided the on-bike video clips.
