That'd be hysterical. Love it.

That'd be an interesting idea. It is a pattern. They have, what, the J, the 450 (Sherpa?) and the 650 twin and the new 750 version of the twin, but put them in multiple bikes. Guess it's cheaper to design frames than new engines.

Other indian rider friends have told me that too. No idea why. You'd think companies would scale production to service the largest markets in the world.

I agree. My wife and I both have the older one, though it looks like it'll be a while before we get to try a new one if they're being snapped up at the source.

I still have one as my main ride. Put 75000km on it with no troubles. Still can't entirely trust the compass though. 😀

So many big changes in Joplin 3.7.

Jan. So still a bit of time for manhandle those ducks.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 04/10/2026

Yeah that's beyond the scope at the moment. Even getting east of the Caspian means Russia, Iran, or flying your bikes to Kazakhstan. Maybe we'll get there one day.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 04/10/2026

Malaysia and Southern Thailand for four months. Maybe the Isan if we get there. Slow travel. Lots of ducks to get in a row though.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 04/10/2026

Booked the first tickets on the next riding-overseas-adventure. Bit of a bigger and disruptive one, so a little more nervous, but gotta do it.

Little Saturday ride north to the Hunter. It apparently does two things well: wine and motorcycle roads. It was fun.

I used it for music once in the outback and turned it off after twenty minutes. It's just too distracting for a musical brain like mine.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 21/09/2026

Ha. Nice, Nevada. Dalma and I have the same philosophy. Only we can get lost even with he GPS. :)

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 21/09/2026

I don't think it's odd. It's ride your own ride taken logically. Some people like riding with hundreds of people. Some people like riding Harley's. I like riding on my own or with Dalma and on a Himalayan. *Really*, Sam, ride your own ride. However that makes sense to *you*. 😊

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 21/09/2026

Damnit! I knew there was a better title out there. 😂

010

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 20/09/2026

Yep. I have one for when Dalma and I ride together overseas, but rarely use it in my day to day riding. And never music. Far too distracting for my brain.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 20/09/2026

Gives you a reason to go back. 😊

Hell of a view there, mate. Mountain's not bad either. 😉

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 20/09/2026

Im super glad you've got this new bike, Sarah. Sounds like it's just perfect for you. 😊

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 20/09/2026

Sometimes, I ride in solitude and in silence. No Cardo. No music. Just engine, wind, road, and the vastness inside a helmet. Perfect. Solitude removes the social soundtrack. Silence removes the auditory one. Together they give me back to myself. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/SGWCp6NDFFY

Fair take, Jerry. I do think autonomy is a form of freedom. I feel free on Dalma's and my motorcycle travels. But maybe fun is just a different take.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 15/09/2026

Glad you liked it, mate.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 15/09/2026

That's an interesting and decent take mate.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 14/09/2026

We talk about "freedom" as one of the reasons we ride. But what is it? And do we actually find it in the saddle? This week's video considers the idea of freedom through three tests. And only one of them makes it. youtu.be/sjg0nxXg9lk?... #motorcycle #motosky

Two and three wheels good. Four wheels bad.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

Ha. I'll let you know. 😀

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

My mum has one actually, but it's expensive and fast. If I was gonna ride anywhere, it'd be on that. 😀

010

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

Way too many wheels, mate. 😂

210

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

I ignore the vast majority. At least it's mostly motorcycle stuff. I made three criteria...its gotta be beautiful, useful, and durable. Cuts out most of them. But this was pretty far out there.

020

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

I suspect I'm on a list somewhere that's shared among companies. When I've been contacted before, it's usually been motorcycle gear. But this was pretty random.

120

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

Hey, if I could get it out of them, I would. You know how many Himalayan I could buy if I sold that thing? 😂

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

😂 Yeah I'm clearly in decline.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 11/09/2026

Hahahahahaha (fuck you) hahahahahahahahaha! 😉

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 10/09/2026

Jesus fuck. Never even thought of that as an option. That'll be a harder than normal pass from me. 😳

210

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 10/09/2026

Feel you mate. My least favourite part of maintaining an online presence. Still, gotta be done.

010

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 10/09/2026

Awesome. A company contacted me for a collaboration/review. Happens regularly, and I ignore most of them. Not quite sure how to take this one though. It's for a company that manufactures mobility scooters. 🤔

Straightforward and logical mate. 😀

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 10/09/2026

Android or cheap? 😂. We're doing both. Dalmas phone broke, so we bought her a reconditioned Pixel 8 Pro for $300. Works fine, covered for a year. With the way most phones now have incremental improvements, I reckon we'll stay one or two generations behind cutting edge.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 10/09/2026

In Australia, the top one is worth $6k. It's bonkers.

I'm not on X (spits in spittoon), but I saw this posted on Reddit. Makes you think.
