🚨BRUTAL TRUTH! Your bike isn’t too heavy, YOU are too weak! 2 minute exercise to fix it!
The BRUTAL TRUTH about heavy motorcycles and why the problem might not be the bike, but your own physical conditioning. In this video, I’m sharing a personal journey that many older riders can relate to. As we age, it’s easy to blame the weight of modern bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan or the Honda CL500 for our handling struggles. But after losing 3.5 stone and transforming my own fitness at 61, I’ve realized the uncomfortable reality: we are losing the core strength our predecessors had in the 70s and 80s. I break down: Why modern lifestyles have made us "functionally weak" for motorcycling. My own transformation and how it improved my riding confidence. The 2-minute daily exercise (The Plank) that can fundamentally change how you handle your bike. Why "Old School" riders didn't seem to struggle with bike weight the way we do now. This isn't about being a gym rat; it's about maintaining the physical ability to enjoy the sport we love for as long as possible. Ride while you still can!
