What a Broken Motorcycle Taught Me: Riding My Himalayan 450 Home Across America (Part 2)

Somewhere on I-90, just over the South Dakota line, my chain snapped clean in half. No warning, freshly serviced, freshly lubed — just gone. I had hours alone on the shoulder of a fast highway waiting for a tow, and here's the thing: five years ago, that would have wrecked me. This time I just... I just went with it. Cracked a non-alcoholic beer, made some dumb Instagram posts, and let it be what it was. --- 📸 Come say hi over on Instagram:   / bugmotochannel   --- This is the last leg of the fourth time I've crossed North America on a motorcycle, and somewhere around Montana it all hit me — not the mileage, but what motorcycle touring does to your ability to be resilient, resourceful, and okay with a ruined plan. Thanks for riding along on this one. Please pardon the flickering Himalayan display. Somewhere along the line I flipped the wrong switch on my action camera.
