    John Bennett - better known as Lamb Chop Rides joins the JUSTRIDE Podcast to share the story behind one of the UK’s best-loved motorcycle YouTube channels.

    Inside The World’s Most Extreme Motorcycle Tours - Royal Bikers | JUSTRIDE Podcast Ep.12

    What does it really take to ride a motorcycle through the Himalayas? In this episode of the JUSTRIDE Podcast, we’re joined by our partners Raj and Manish from Royal Bikers who lead motorcycle expeditions through some of the most breathtaking and challenging places on earth. From Ladakh and Spiti to Nepal and Bhutan, Royal Bikers take riders far beyond the usual motorcycle tour. This is about altitude, preparation, resilience, brotherhood, local knowledge and the kind of adventure that changes the way you see yourself. We talk about what riding in the Himalayas actually feels like, why riders need time to acclimatise, what happens when the weather turns, why the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is so well suited to the terrain, and why mental strength matters just as much as riding ability. Raj and Manish also share the story behind the Headlight Foundation, their social impact initiative supporting remote communities in the regions they ride through. This one is about much more than motorcycles. It’s about pushing yourself, respecting the mountains, giving back, and creating stories that stay with you for life. 🏍️ In This Episode: - How Royal Bikers began - Riding through Ladakh, Spiti, Nepal and Bhutan - Why the Himalayas are unlike anywhere else - What riders need to know before travelling to Ladakh - Altitude, acclimatisation and mental resilience - Reaching Umling La at 19,024ft - Why riders become emotional in the mountains - The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - Riding where Google Maps doesn’t work - The Headlight Foundation - How Royal Bikers and JUSTRIDE are working together Royal Bikers Links: - Website: https://royalbikers.com/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/royalbikers/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/royal.bikers/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5SE1x1Qt9nRf1E7ehDNzCg 💬 Would you ride the Himalayas?
