Spectacular! My butt hurts just watching this

Very well done - I have done 400 miles in a day on my Himalayan but 1,000 is a different level!

I am so proud of you my man! People say the Himalayan is not worth owning you just proved them wrong! Congratulations! Ride Safe

Well done, just shows what a Himi and a good rider can do!

Congrats man! That is a feat on any bike but really shows just how good the Himalayan really is for such a small bike.

Hi, from the UK. Really enjoyed this video and the more recent debrief. I’ve only done @750 miles from new on my Himmy in 2 months so 1k in a day is outstanding 👍.

Well done!

Beautiful ride. 🙌 My Himi will hit 1200 miles this week. Looking forward to fully opening it up after the break in mileage. 🎉

Thanks!

Goos job! I was genuinely concerned about your safety, glad you made it home.

I was honestly fine the entire time until about the last 20 miles. The scariest part was probably the 100 miles on the interstate just given how the idiots drive in Arizona!

Congratulations!

Fantastic! It was not only a "Grand Ride," but also a "Grind Ride!" Cheers and thanks!

That was awesome! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

A grand ride indeed👏👏👏! Thank you for taking us along on this epic ride through Arizona. 09:20

That was brilliant well done a great achievement you should be proud.

congratulations! Proud moment

Respect.

Quite an epic Record! Your enthusiasm amazes me. Your Himalayan was probably crying John but Holy cow....where do you pull this guys batteries out.

You did the extra hard version. Most people I have seen stay on the highway and average around 65mph. Glad the adrenaline kept you going and that you were close to home when it wore off.

Respect

And I thought 300 miles (mostly dirt/gravel) was a long day on my Himmy!

Superb!

The bit where you clocked the 1000 mile point, I could hear the glee! :)

Great job! You amaze me with your attention to detail. I love that you share those details with us. Thank you!

Great job 🎉

That himi must ride pretty good for you to last 1000 miles. I cant even do that one my goldwing.

great job !

Hats off to you brother...I couldn't have done that. Cheers from Fown Under.

I plan to do the Iron Butt Lower Great Lakes with the Honda Shadow Phantom. I live in Rochester, NY. I don't like to fail, so, I'm training for it: 250 mile ride, 500, 750, then the Big Kahuna.

Epic adventure! Phew, I would definitely need to upgrade my stock seat if I ever had the guts to attempt something like that lol! Thanks for sharing the adventure! - Shane

VERY impressive - well done !! I have a 2021 411 kitted out very much like yours and I'm not sure I'm ready to do that challenge. Well done, kudos and Royal Enfield brownie points to you !

Amazing dude. Goals!

My camping and riding area.. very cool.. thanks

Awesome review and thanks for sharing big love from Australia 😊

Awesome 😁🍻

My guy... that was epic. You made my mind up about getting a himalayan.

I toured the Morenci mines back in the early 90's during a Geology field trip (It is a copper mine BTW). They had some really cool polished natural azurite and malachite pieces in the office where the Geologists were. It was cool! Congratz on the Iron Butt Ride! Cheers!

Just joined your channel and absolutely love it! I can’t wait to get my Royal Enfield as well just deciding if I should go with the Continental GT or the Himalayan. It’s a tough choice but I am now thinking if I am going to take long cruises the Himalayan may be my best option.

Thanks so much for the kind words and I appreciate the support. I'm definitely missing my Himalayan right now, but we have a foot of fresh snow outside....so it's not coming out for a while...

Fantastic video, really really entertaining. Bl**day good effort mate, awesome.

And congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 that is some serious perseverance

Fan bloody tastic 🎉 Top stuff mate! I couldn’t imagine doing that distance on my Himmy in one stint. Furthest I’ve ridden in a day is 620km (only 385 miles). And that coldest temp - far out, that’s cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass monkey!😳

The night riding at the beginning is something only Himalayan owners appreciate .... the brightness of the dash lights vs the headlight always kills me! 🤣

I'll love to do this but I love in the UK so will have to ride to the end of the country and back 😆

It could be Guinnes´s record,,,, It´s not a bad bike the RE Himalayan.(I own one).

complimenti!!!!!!! sei un pazzo saluti dall'Italia

Thanks! One of the skills I've gained from 15 years of running ultramarathons, is how to maintain my stubbornness during a very long outing ;-) Even still though, sitting down for 20+ hours on a bike, is a lot different than moving for 20+ hours on foot...

1,000 miles and no breakdowns! Wonderful stuff. My butt might just survive that but no way my neck would. Well done.

Not bad on a Himalayan . 1600km on GTR 1000 was hard enough.😊

The road at 10:58 was hairy - spectacular view though. I can see the blind bend at 11:40 being a killer if it was night-time. The sunset at was epic. The engine sounds really rough at 16:52 onwards though, is it just the camera?

Yeah some of those turns along the Coronado Trail were definitely a bit hairy...and wouldn't want to do at night for sure! Thankfully, the tone and behavior of the engine didn't change at all for the entirely of the ride...woohoo! My helmet microphone dropped down in my helmet and picked up much more wind noise in the last few hundred miles. I did my best to edit it out in processing, but it didn't work well :-(

Great feat , next challenge How many miles in 24 hours. This bike is amazing Congratulations from french guy Who live in Thaïland

Honestly, I think the Seat Concepts did great! It was very comfortable and since I don't really intend to ever go more than 1000 miles again in one go, I'd say I'm pretty content. I have heard that Corbin seats are also quite good though!

On this ride I fueled up at every half tank in order to get more receipts for tracking. Normally though I’ll go 30-40 miles on F comfortably. I did a fuel range test a while back on all high speed riding and got 210 total miles with about 80 on Trip F

I will look at actual fuel totals, but a rough estimate given gas prices is that I used about 20 gallons (so 50 miles per gallon). This aligns with my earlier fuel range test I did on the highway where I got about 210 miles on a full tank (~4 gallons).

@@On2Feet that's roughly what I figured. Was the bike loaded? I'm guessing that you ran it pretty hard in places to get the 50mph average as well. Impressive ride for a bike that's not made to eat the miles of highway.

I have a Himalayan. Endless battery replacements and electrical problems. Too slow and weak to ride on a highway. Poor fit and finish. Can't wait to sell mine.

Aww man...bummer to hear that. I'm still rocking the factory battery 3 years in...no issues. I had a few glitches with my fuel pump relay causing stalling...but after I replaced it, it's been fine ever since. As you see in this video, the himmi definitely isn't ideal for interstate, but it does fine for me at 70 mph on secondary highways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why are you not in top gear at 17 mins?
