Man you are living the dream!! I also have a Monkey as well as a Royal Enfield Himalayan that I just bought. I’ve told my subscribers that I bought it (Himalayan) so I wouldn’t kill my Honda Monkey because “and I quote myself” the Monkey isn’t really an overland vehicle but MAN are you proving me wrong😂Lol. Now my wife will think I lied to her just to buy a Royal Enfield😂😂. I’ll be telling my subscribers if they don’t already know you, to start watching a man and a Monkey taking on the world. Great first day!! 🏍️💨 Be safe and have fun!!

Great video, I do my direct access course next week and am very excited. I've considered a lot of bikes as my "first." I don't want anything too powerful or quik as it will literally just be a hobby for me. Maybe sometimes commuting. Im really considering the Honda Monkey. It seems like the perfect bike to start on. Just a quik question you seem tall. I stand at 6ft 2. Do you find it's an okay bike for the taller gentlman. Many thanks for the amazing content !

If u plan to keep the monkey for more adventures the get ashworth a 1:1 ratio 4th gear ⚙️ 😉 and a 160/180 cylinder and a larger air filter. You won't regret it they don't lose all there speed when you hit an up hill and you can cruise at 65 sat upright with ease.

Well, I am worried about your eye.. (Infection!!..You have already transfered the infection to your other eye. Do NOT use the towel to dry both eyes, dry your eyes with a seperat papertowel.. for each eye do not touch with fingers.. or it will stay for month !!! Be very careful, it can go worst.) and the overloaded bike... YOU should wear a his-vis vest.. all the way.. BUT.. wish you good luck on your journey.. 👍🍀🍀🍀😇👍 Berlin, Germany 32 visits to the Isle of Man since 1982, Honda 750

I would recommend a break for 3 days, without riding. Your eyes need a rest. If you have this for 3 days or more, you should see the eye-doctor. Wind pressure, dust and all those tyre etc. micro-debris from the road.. are not helpful to bring away your swollen eye. Normally.. you even should not blink that often. Serious, this is not a game. I would suggest, to see an eye-doctor.. He would give you a bandage or eye-drops with some medical stuff for your eye. If there is a real infection (second eye) you need antibiotic or virustatika..!! Or.. you risk to ride with one eye. (Don't bring yourself under stress, to make videos for the audience. HEALTH.. in number 1) 👁️🤔
