First time riding in India just as I was exploring the city center of Mumbai. Two India lads offer me to ride one of their motorcycles and it wasn't the first time. The unfamiliar version of a familiar adventure bike caught my eye. The Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 motorcycle.
Stumbled on bike. This is a different Himalayan. It's a different one, huh?
You want to ride it? Is this a tourist attraction?
It's my personal. No? Is this a newer version, the Scram? Yeah.
Do they add more cc to this one? No, it is the same.
The same? It is a little bit high and add some features for more data.
Some features. You want to ride it? That's what I asked.
Where are you guys from? We are from Bombay. We are local guys.
Local guys from Bombay? Yes.
We work here as a salesperson. Where do you work?
As a salesperson, we are medical. We are into sales and marketing.
Medical science and marketing. We are into sales and marketing.
So you live and you got it figured out here. You're good here in Mumbai.
You got time off? Yeah.
Good voluntary time off, I hope? Or we don't have work for you time off?
No, no, no. No, it's good? It's okay?
Yeah, yeah. Okay, bro.
What's your name? Netherlands.
Pedro. Pedro. Pedro Mota. I ride motorcycle.
A lot. If you want, you can take a ride for a while.
Are you sure? Yes.
Definitely. Yeah?
Just wear a helmet. Of course.
I'm going to get all this sweat on the helmet. Yeah, because of this philosophy.
That's why. Yeah.
All right. Yeah, sure.
Yes, you can. Sure.
I just got to figure out how am I going to do with the camera.
Normally, I have something on the helmet for the GoPro, you know.
You stay there with this camera and he'll come from here.
You just do one thing. You don't have to wear the helmet.
You just take a ride from this side. Yeah.
And then I turn around to that side. Yeah, sure.
No, I'll put the helmet. The helmet is good.
I know it looks a little more fun without.
And a lot of people don't wear a helmet.
Yeah. You want to film, bro?
Yeah. You just hold it here.
Hold it on this one at the bottom here. Yeah.
Okay. What's your name?
Sahil. Sahil. And you?
Myself, Hamad. Hamad.
Sahil and Hamad with the Himalayans.
How do you say Himalayan?
Say it in Himalaya.
Himalaya. Himalaya.
Himalaya Scram 411 Royal Enfield. Looks cool.
Oh, ----. I already got keys in my... How did this happen?
How do I have keys in my hand? It's all yours.
Wait. This is not the gate of India.
I offer you to ride my motorcycle scam and then you have to pay 500 rupees or something.
No, we are not going to charge for anything.
That would be quite elaborate, you know.
Yeah, it's like there is a little bit, I can say, permission against that.
But we are not like that.
Hey, this is Asian helmet. Look, look.
Yeah.
I one time bought one in...
That was like this.
Hey, so everything is the same, man.
They don't change anything around, right?
No.
You gotta ask.
Yeah.
The gas setting he is talking about.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That, yeah, yeah.
Down up.
I let it warm up.
You got the light on?
Oh, that's too big.
It's always on.
Tour in India.
I came to India to test ride.
New Himalaya.
In India.
All right.
For anybody who's been on it like, when are you going to bloody ride?
Here we are.
Riding in India with no hands, my man.
On a beautiful, neat little motorbike here.
A real Indian brand.
The Himalaya.
Wow.
This is pretty dope, man.
First ride in India.
Hello.
Let's stay here.
You're okay?
No, thanks, bro.
I was taking it easy now and...
Yeah, but you handled it very well.
I can see that.
I want to ride India at one point.
I will.
Oh, I think some Beis want to get out here.
Okay, but that's very cool of you, my friend.
To offer a guy...
Just to have a try my motorcycle.
You know, someone else also offered me one time.
Maybe it's normal in India.
Brother, take my motorcycle for a little bit.
No, it's...
Is it a YouTube channel or you're just normally making a video?
Pedro Mota.
But normally all my videos are a motorcycle almost.
So you have a YouTube channel?
Yeah, it's almost all motorcycle riding.
But now I'm walking around India.
Now you're adding the two more subscribe only YouTube.
Well, see what the Indians think of it.
I think they'd love to see me ride something like this.
But I like the old ones too.
You have to go back to work?
Yeah.
Well, that always happens.
Hey, this is really cool, guys.
You have no idea.
Down the boulevard.

I'll always remember my first Indian motorcycle ride.
Thanks, guys.
Nice to meet you.

I'm a bit rusty.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
Take it easy and watch it out there.

Namaste.
