My Rear Brake Failed on a Ghat - Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 Ride to Tapola & Mahabaleshwar | Mumbai

📍Somewhere on the descent near Pratapgad, I reached for my rear brake on the Himalayan - and got nothing. This is the story of a ride from Mumbai to Tapola via Poladpur road on my Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. One of Maharashtra's most scenic and underrated routes. We caught the sunset at Koyna Lake, I fell sick the same night, still woke up at 5 am for Wilson Point sunrise - and then on the return, the rear brake lever went completely unresponsive on a ghat descent. Turned out to be air trapped in the master cylinder. But on a mountain road, in that moment - you don't know that yet. 📍Check out Garva Agro Tourism here https://garvaagrotourismtapola.com/ 🏍️Route covered Mumbai - Poladpur Road (NH66 / Ambeneli Ghat) Tapola - Maharashtra's Mini Kashmir Koyna Lake Sunset Mahabaleshwar - Wilson Point 🛠️Bike and Gear Bike: Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 Jacket: Reise Moto Pine Air Pants: Leatt 5.5 Boots: Tramac Adventure Luggage: Viaterra Fly tank bag, Carbonado Modpack (30L) 🔔I ride the Himalayan through the routes most people skip - subscribe if you are into real Maharashtra riding. #royalenfieldhimalayan #himalayan411 #motorcycleride #tapola #mahabaleshwar #Koynalake #westernghats #maharshtra #sahyadri =============================================== Gear I use: Camera: Sony a6700 DJI action 3 Lens: Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 Microphone: Hollyland Lark M1 https://amzn.in/d/0WN1nBO Tripod: Ulanzi MT-11 https://amzn.in/d/h7w2qSb Telesin G3 long selfie stick https://amzn.in/d/2Rq0FGo =============================================== Instagram: https://instagram.com/your_travelstor...
