I'm Steve 'Chippy' Paine. I write about mobility as it relates to tech, camping and motorcycles. I'm planning a 10000 km European tour in '27. My linktree can be found at https://chippy.meetmobility.com
I'm torn between a lightweight, low-power adventure bike and something more sporty for the 10000 km tour.
I'll be looking at the NX500 this morning. KLE 500 at #Intermot next week but the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT is still taking top spot.

I'm impressed. Google Vids cloud-based 4K video editing on a Chromebook. Drive and Photos integrates seamlessly.
Kit: No lighting. Lumix G7 (4k/30). Rode videomaker mic (cabled), cheap Lenovo Duet Gen 9 to upload and edit.

Royal Enfield Himalayan test.
A fun machine but, coming from my V4 it's a buzzy single cylinder experience. I didn't like the seat angle and throttle response felt loose. Good torque and quick handling makes it a lot of fun in town and country. Great value and very efficient. #motorcycle

🏍️ ride for Sat planned. Bonn, DE - Roermond, NL and then try and track down some UK 🏍️ mates that are on the Trans European Trail as they make their way to Nijmegen. The VFR800 will not be attempting the TET!
Pic: Similar route last year. Big hole in Germany.
