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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
