Look at that smile, she looks lovely, just as I thought. ?  What is her name?  

 

I understand your situation, they are trying to do the same to my mom.  Just more drugs and unfortunately I think they gotten the best of her.  All very sad, but good on you to take matters into your own hands. It must be hard some days, but you are a wonderful son to be there for her. ?

Bearing With My Himalayan - Part 1 - Wheel Removal

The time has come to change the front steering bearings in Bagheera, my 2019 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Bagheera has 6000km on him and that might seem early for a bearing change, but I believe the conditions I ride in can wear things out on the bike a bit faster.

It's a great opportunity to learn more about my bike and as usual things never go according to plan, so this has turned into a multi-part video. In this episode we remove the wheel and share some casual garage chit-chat.

As a helpful note, I always take the calliper off before the wheel as a lot of the time you'll catch it with the wheel rim when removing. Paint is pants now days, chips n scratches easy.

Ready for part 2.:dancebanana:

It's the legendary Brit "Carry on" series of films from the 50's/60's/70's.......full of smutty double entendres and sexist remarks.

They couldn't be made now......people would get offended. Here's an example....

Thanks @Sir Fallsalot   You are very observant.....nice :littleguy:

It is never a derailment if you want to talk about vehicles, I love them.  I am aware of the Hilux there, and it is the same for the 4Runner here, they just go and go.  I love the thing, it can crawl through anything and look good doing it.  One of the last frame on body trucks you can get here, which I like, you can feel the road under you. ?
