Change of Plans: Riding my Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Across America

This is day zero – getting to the start line – of my cross-country motorcycle road trip from Portland, Oregon to Boston, Massachusetts. But there's been a very last-minute change of plans. I'm riding my Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 instead of my Moto Guzzi V7 Sport! Everything happens for a reason, and I'm thrilled that things have worked out this way. Special thank you to @sabatinomoto in Portland – the world's best Royal Enfield dealer - and to @RoyalEnfieldNorthAmerica, both of whom have pitched in to support me on this journey. Please visit the kind folks over at https://longride.com/ if you're looking for great gear for your bike. They were so kind in supporting the original plan, and you'll be seeing a lot more about them when I finish this trip and reunite with my Guzzi. 📸 Come say hi over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bugmotochannel/ 🐞 Get Veridian Cruise control for your Himalayan 450, or for other bikes.
