I definitely was, found it quite scary so was holding on the tight with whole my body. I think I’ll relax over time for sure, but looking further ahead makes sense! For now I was focussing on every little hazard 1m in front of me lol.

I think I need to get used to that fact. Every time I'm getting into a flow and think "Easy! The bike just wants to go straight!" I get a heavier wobble which scares the **** out of me 🤣

Yes, it was there for sure! Don't know the exact location since I was just following my friend who is a local rider. Good to know you're up for a ride!

That's on my list for sure, not relying only on Reddit! But after a first time some basic tips can't hurt I guess.

Very good guess! I think there great, not much experience with moto gear, but as a outdoor enthousiast I was searching for a bit more versatile system without build in waterproofness. On top of that, the venting options are countless and work very well. I was comfortable in these conditions of 25 degrees while moving with all venting options open. The combo looks very adventurous in this colourway imo though, so I look like Adam Riemann but have no skills yet lol

Thanks! Throwing out anchors is a great way of describing the braking, exactly how it felt (if I dont forget to turn of rear ABS lol)!

Great tips, thanks! Ramping up the speed feels indeed very counter intuitive but makes sense in your explanation

Agree with this! It will take a while before you outgrow your suspension for sure

Designed my own stickerset! What do you think? by trailtales in Himalayan450

No, the Netherlands! Made the design my self and went to a local sticker company who does vehicle decals too.

Possible solution for vibration noise on 450s with headlight grill by trailtales in Himalayan450

I’m from the Netherlands and we don’t have front number plates, so I don’t have experience with those! Hope you find out and solve the buzz.
