Doing a wheelie was never a skill I even thought of learning, not even in my youth when I often pushed the limit of safe operation of my vehicles. Just not my thing.

I have three machines in the garage -- a GTS, an ET4, and a Royal Enfield Himalayan. And I've noticed something strange. Whichever one I am riding, I swear it's my favorite.

I can relate.

Between my Rocket 3, Royal Enfield Interceptor, and GTS 300, my favorite is invariably the one I happen to be riding.

I seldom, if ever, think to myself when riding any one of them that I should have chosen another for that ride.

Not buying that Burgman.

I'd forgotten just how good the KLV was after being reunited with it yesterday after 6 months so I think I'm going to enjoy it for a while longer before it gets a stable mate.

It's faster and a lot easier to ride than the BMW plus it revs lower at the same speed.

It's not exciting to look at which makes it a bit anonymous but that's OK as I didn't buy it to attract attention.

Even Steve Williams is beginning to see the light. Look at all the gear he hung on the Himalayan to carry gear. He refers to the bike as perfect for what he needs.
