Welcome to Broke Magazine, the series where Brake Magazine spends less money to have incredible adventures. Flying, riding, looking, feeling and experiencing incredible things for less than the cost of European city break.
For episode one, we put our money on the table to head to most dramatic place we could afford, India. The goal was the biggest mountains on earth, for just £850. To add extra spice, we wanted it to be accessible, so we bought a beginner, my friend Joe.
The questions are set, but can it be done?
This video is ridiculously well made and also is so important in the world of flashy travellers who make every reasonable travel look boring. Thank you for this!
My pleasure and thanks for the kind words.
I just got back from 10 days in Ladahk with 3 mates, 1 with almost no riding experience: Nubra Valley, Kardung La, Pangong & Tsomoriri Lakes, the Karakoram Range, camel ride in the world's highest desert. It really was amazing although the altitude was much harder than I expected. We booked with "Motorcycle Escapades" & had a guide, a mechanic and a third bloke driving the backup ute with our bags and an oxygen bottle. Bikes, petrol, accommodation, back up and 2 meals/day all for US$1,250. 1340kms at an average speed of 35 kph. Several near misses on the ever variable roads but I can't recommend it enough. Do it while you can.
Incredible price! Amazing trip.
Shame you missed the highest motorable road, umling la.
You’ve done a phenomenal job depicting the country and the experience but most importantly highlighting how absolutely doable travel in India and Asia is and how motorcycling is the ultimate way to do it.
Amen and thanks for the kind words!
Absolutely one of the best video I’ve seen. And well done to Joe.
Great idea for a video series. Nicely produced and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Thanks a ton Ian. Appreciate you taking the time to watch 🙏
@@BigRockMoto we can't go across country these days on that budget. It's crazy expensive. Plus a set of tires mounted would almost cost that much
Bloody hell...perhaps...no definitely one of THE best motorbike travel videos I've seen...well done..love it
Thanks a ton Jon from Wigan. Means a lot 🙏🙏
I went on a trip to the Himalayas last year and after coming back I wanted to make a how to guide like this as there are so many companies offering tours that cost thousands and I understand why they exist but there are other ways. If you’re prepared to do a bit of research beforehand anyone can do it for a lot less. I had no guide and instead went with my brother. Got to Ladakh, acclimatised, found a good deal on some bikes, asked around for some routes and then we were off.
The major issue that I have found (not in India though) is that western tour companies have set up in lots of countries so when trying to search for a bike to rent online they are offering western bikes for stupid prices and these bikes really have no place in these countries.
Anyway thanks for the video! The community really appreciates it.
:)
Would be happy to tag along to one of these if you do one again.
I've watched a lot of your videos, and I have to say, not downplaying your others, I got so much from this. Thank you for showing all the bumps and scrapes as well as the triumphs. No excuses to not get off the couch. ;^)
Well done guys, very happy that Joe survived his baptism of fire n ice.. good call on the early turnaround and taking care of your mate👍
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I did more or less this trip back in 98. This video captures it incredibly well.
I had similar backtracks due to closed roads. Crazy traffic. Near misses. Weird taxi rides. Unbearable heat. Riding all day to cover just 200 km. Altitude headaches that feel like driving your head into a crack in a rock with a mallet.
I think about that trip every day.
I’m not surprised. It always sits with me that what felt so different to us is other people’s normal.
I did the Mongol rally on a dr125. Flight from US, '96 DR125SE, and 11 countries later I'd spent a total of $3500. You can do it too!!
HELL YES!!
We've got a 7 day trip to the High Atlas mountains in Morocco booked for less than £950 each for flights, bikes and all hotels. Probably another £150 for food and fuel. Marrakech bike hire is very plentiful. We hope to have an adventure as good as yours looked but won't be producing such a good film about it. Well done Joe for completing that trip! Even the easiest multi-day bike trips can be physically, mentally and emotionally draining for anyone never mind a complete beginner.
I travelled India in this way over a few years, and it's such a great experience. To stretch your budget stay even longer, stay as long as you can. Don't one and done it if you have the option, there are hundreds of absolutely epic destinations in India, with the South often under appreciated for how adventure friendly it is.
🙌
@@BrakeMagazineFrom the south here, the western ghats are awesome!
This was really special and your content turned up to 11 guys. Having just come back from a 10 day ride and camp getaway to a relatively tame place, you really inspire people to go further, and to do it despite the perceived cost or difficulty or personal comfort level. Two thumbs up!!!👍👍
Truly incredible video! Props to Joe taking on a trip like this, would be tough no matter how experienced you are. Amazing channel, awesome story telling and editing, thank you for sharing this fellas!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes I skip thumb nails and move on. a while later I may go back. I’m glad I did with this one! Absolutely epic! I won’t miss another. Fantastic viewing. Outstanding job.👍🏻
As others have said , just a thoroughly enjoyable film of an absolutely epic trip with a low barrier to entry. Also your hair at 14:45 is the perfect analog to the high altitude mountains that were kicking your butt at that moment.
Thank you for the kind words! Keeping it authentic with my wild hair 😂
Had the pleasure of being instructed by Llel while on a GS in Wales. Top bloke. Really enjoyed this; don’t think India is my thing but now I’m not so sure after watching this.
Great stuff, thanks for the video!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. India is a hell of a ride!
Superb film, well done lads and its made me hungry for travel but you just cant beat that joy of finding the kindness of strangers.
Agreed!
What a criminally underrated channel. My favorite bike-themed one, only after Fort-Nine, and yes, I watch 44Teeth and other big ones, too.
What a trip. What amazing views and imagery. Certainly didn't feel broke on the production. Big thumbs up again for amazing content!👌🏻
Senor, thank you for these really kind words.
@@BrakeMagazine For sure! Currently restoring my '88 650cc Africa Twin. When done, happy to join for any muddy riding, and would lend it for a classic test review for the channel in the UK! (I'm in the Midlands, but can ride over). I'm on Insta with the same username if interested. Ta! ✌🏻
Loved the honesty and mindset of these three chaps on their trip of a lifetime. All done with grace and humility!
Cheers Richard!
"There isn't a story to tell, just things to see" - CZcams needs a lot more of this 😄 amazing video.
Thanks!
Brilliant! I lived and worked in India 40 years ago and the roads are just as bad now but the driving faster than then. I loved every minute of it. I did a Blazing Trails trip 24 years ago on the dreadful 350 Bullet. Terrible bike but magical. A true life experience and the people made it for me.
Wow! Excellently done! You’re great at this genre dude. 👊🏼👌🏼🙏🏼👍🏼😎
Thanks a ton!
Love how you get creative with video. Inspiring. It will fly you across that awaited 100K mark :) Congrats in advance!
Thanks a ton!
Awesome video Llel. Its wonderful to see India through your perspective . I have done all 3 Route options multiple times as I am based out of Delhi, but seeing everything from your lens was so refreshing.
And the storytelling on this one is next level. See a lot of effort that has been put in . Cheers !
Thanks for the kind words. I'd love to know how it differs for someone who lives there!
An honest travelogue with no fuss. We loved it! And nice stuff huh, that Kriega. We are big fans of the products. We look forward to your next videos. Keep up the good work!
Lovely, heartfelt, touching.
Mirrors some of my personal experiences as well.
Thank you!
You are so welcome. Hopefully not the running over part!
@@BrakeMagazine Welllllllll I did loose my left foot in a motorcycle accident but that wasn’t what I meant actually 😅
Oh jeez man. I'm really sorry to hear that.
This was an awesome video. The style of it and the scenery captured. And I respect your friend for doing that trip with hardly any riding experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! And 100%. Ignorance was total bliss 😂
Epic scenes and story telling ! I really felt like I was with you on the journey experiencing all that India could throw at you. True adventure comes with all the situational risk and it was great to see how you handled this as a team.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks!
Adding to the chorus here, but this was an awesome video mate. Really well done, informative, and bad ass.
Thanks!
I am glad that you were able to enjoy the country. Kudos to Ray for his efforts, get well soon mate! To put it in a perspective of what you have accomplished, I have been riding in the Himalayas for almost 15 years and my first ride happened 7 years after I got my license. It's not for the beginners.
Hope you come back again!
Thanks! Will do!
Just returned from 3 weeks trip in the Himalaya. You nailed the feeling and atmosphere in your video.
Thanks Erik!
Good job with gradually pushing the least experience members limits but not making it dangerous. Great content really enjoyed it.
I did 10 months in Bathinda Punjab province with work. It’s a tough country. The heat is intense, the people are wonderful for the most part. You will be amazed at what little people need to survive. Never ever drink the water and be very/very careful what you eat. The garbage and public sanitation is just terrible. Once you get the swing of it…it is what it is you are not going to change it, so just go with the flow 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Great advice.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this and I have absolutely no ambition to follow (I learnt to ride 45 years ago in central London but Delhi was insane). Lovin' ya work....
Another great video dude, Hoping to do the Himalayas in a couple of years. As a newish rider I can relate. Thank god for the MTB helping cope with sketchy terrain. India looks insane!!! Especially when tired. Hope you enjoyed the ABR Festival. We had a great time. That crash was sketchy!! Felt for him.
It was, in a great way! ABR was good too. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Well done this is one of the best bike adventure films I think I’ve ever seen , great job & a big well done to Joe 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Fantastic inspiration - I'm absolutely hooked! Will check flight rates from Sweden now ...🤭🤩
Great to see that you can do a 6 day self guided trip in India for less than a 3 day guided off road break in Europe. Time to re watch and start taking notes. Not been to Manali for 25 years! Would be nice to go back and see it without the rain clouds
Manali is huge now, there are 4-5 nearby towns all merged into Manali now. You'd get a headache picking a place to stay there must be thousands of hotels in Manali now
That was outstanding guys, what an amazing adventure, massive thanks for bringing it into my lounge room!
Our pleasure!
Fantastic compulsive viewing, a great trip with great friends and inspiring to watch!
So motivational and inspirational!! Great channel! Please keep the vids coming.
Thank you! Will do our best to!
Great video and experience. We travelled to Italy a few years back, on my 916. Many good memories crossing the alps. Always as you say on a budget. I managed to get 76mpg out of the bike although this was on fast motorways. Loved the details you put about the costs and highs and lows. I can see when you look back alot of it is covered and wont be lost. I have already shared with my friends. Thanks again for making this
Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for the comment and share ✊🏻
Great adventure, great movie! Good you 3 made it back in one piece.
Thanks Matthias!
What a fantastic trip and at an eye opening price! Thanks for sharing the info, I’ve already shared to my riding buddy as a ‘next adventure’ for us 😊. Terrific filming and editing to capture such a trip all in 30 mins 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Great job boys, thanks for taking us along 🇨🇦🏍️
What a great adventure you created, the traffic looked crazy in parts, but like most places the world the people and the scenery make it all worth while. Almost 100k subscribers, just 900k less than it should be.
Thank you for the kind words! We’ll get there :)
That was, on all accounts, bloody inspirational. Very, very well done.
I believe the temp on the Himalayan display is not accurate and more like engine temp rather than ambient temp. Also it is advised to acclimatize for lower oxygen for 2-3 days before climbing onto the higher passes. Hope you come back and have a better experience. So much more to experience of the Himalayas
Great video mate. Did that region a few years ago. Brought great memories back.
Trip of a lifetime. 🏍👍
Thanks 👍 Pretty cool place!
An absolutely brilliant edit Llel. This must have taken ages and the adventure looked so, so awesome. This is genuinely one of the best ADV vids I’ve seen for a long time and Brake Magazine is quickly reaching the dizzy heights of Fortnine’s level of editing, a level us mere mortals strive to reach. 100k plaque coming your way soon too I see 👏🏻
It’s not all praise though; your t-shirt at 1:23 is terrible.
Thanks a ton Ollie, really kind words. Going for that TAMP award 😂
Also, it’s the same t-shirt in the whole intro 😂
@@BrakeMagazine haha, it'll be yours one day brother! 💪🏻 Yes I know it's the same tee but I wasn't going to list every bloody time! 😂
I'll make sure to bring it out in more videos now 😂
@@BrakeMagazine 😂
brilliant concept and what an adventure - at that cost you can do many per year :) well done JOE !
😂
amazing trip and video guys!!
Thanks so much!
Quality, looks amazing.
I saw you at the ABR, I wish I had stopped to say hello. Maybe next year
Do it!
Incredible video. The mountains are welcoming yet unforgiving. Last year while coming back from the Spiti valley (your plan A) , my front brake line gave up. Had to ride my KTM Duke 390 from Manali to Chandigarh only on the rear brake. No matter how much you prepare for the ride, the mountains always have a different plan for you. Keep up the good work.
Agreed, that sounds hectic! How was Spiti valley?
Great adventure,great video well done Lel, Simon ,way to go Joe awesome and i suspect a truly life enriching journey.
Hopefully it was!
Great video Llel.... The drone footage was stomach churning when it went from the road to "off the edge" a couple of times. Good stuff! 👌👏
Cheers, appreciate the comment!
That,s took a few obstacles out of my way, thank you very much. great viewing.
Quality video. Thanks for showing people what's out there if you go outside your comfort zone a bit. Pick some sturdy friends and go adventuring!
Well said! And you’re welcome
nice one! its amazing up there. I just got back from biking from Leh to Padum in Zanskar via Lamayuru (the MOST incredible day!) Thanks for showing others it can be done quite cheaply.
Love the channel! Well done! The trip, the information, the editing… wow! Keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Simply inspiring, thank you both.
Our pleasure!
What marvellous story telling.
Llel you should be a voiceover artist, that was a roller coaster of a ride for a travelogue linked and illuminated by your marvellous commentary.
Drone work and great videography brought to life by wonderful editing.
Could you tell I liked it.
1. The great American deserts please
2. Australia’s Great Ocean Road
3. Rocket launching sites in Florida
4. Wyoming and Custer’s Last Stand
Just a few slightly more obscure travelogues to weave a story around.
Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
This is really kind of you. Thanks for the words, they mean a lot. We'll look at those spots for sure!
@@BrakeMagazine and I bet your Dad is so proud 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤓
Well done Joe, amazing journey mate, if you can ride there you can ride anywhere. I used to have a real hunger for motorcycle adventure in various countries throughout the world, but I've lost that mojo. Don't know if it's an age thing, so thanks for showing me somewhere I'll probably never ride.
If a German guy can ride for 3 months across India and is now in Nepal riding an electric Zero bike anything is possible.👍
Hughley enjoyable, informative and inspirational! Thankyou!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
First class film, encompassing everything we all want to do, but time and money stops the vast majority of normal folk, this proves it can be done. You got the balance spot on, from location, getting there, to rider level, we’ve all had days where we are following a very experienced group and feel totally out of your depth, making decisions based on the least experienced was 100% right 👌👍
Cheers my dude!
Superb 👌🏼 You’ll inspire many to get out there and enjoy some of these beautiful places on bikes ❤
Hopefully! That’s the idea ☺️☺️
Nice video guys ...killar that's my in-laws place one of the most beautiful places i ever visited...i hope you like it
We loved it. Very beautiful
Great movie. Loved it at the ABR, I must look up the film festival again next year. Enjoyed it even more at home where I can pause and watch bits over again. Now how much were those flights again.
£450 but I have seen cheaper 😂
This is an amazing production, very well put together video. I especially liked the transitions. Great job! 👏
Absolute madness. I love it.
Cheers Aaron!
What a beautiful ride. You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
Stunning stuff! Thank you so much for this.
Glad you like it!
WoW 😊❤😊; THANK YOU; i loved it!
What a great trip, for a budget that is so impressive!
Thanks!
Mega film, what an experience fair play to Joe what a legend 😀
Thanks man, agreed!
Oooh it was such a heartwarming video! Lovely adventure is best shared with friends no matter of the challenges and obstacles...after all the good memories together count in future :)
So true!
It was great getting to see this at the ABR and have a chat with you after.
it was a pleasure to show it!
Well done guys, I lived in Delhi for 12 months so I can appreciate the 'Culture Shock' you must have experienced. Loved the film and the route options. I presume you must have taken your helmets as hand luggage and worn some of your riding gear on the plane to keep your hold luggage manageable.
Brilliant video. Practical, reasonable, affordable, well produced, excellent
One of the best ride travel videos I’ve seen of late. As ever, just shows you don’t need a twenty grand adventure bike to have an awesome adventure.
Absolutely. Hopefully it also shows, you don't have to ride a C90 to do it on a budget too.
What an awesome video Llel, thanks for sharing such amazing trip!! Well done you all!! 👍👍
Woooow, you did this adventure on a really affordable budget. This is really inspiring! And such a well made documentary. Thank you for sharing the prep part as well as all details including accommodation, maps and of course those stunning landscapes
Nice work. I was riding there last month with a group of mates. We avoided the heat and train by flying from Delhi to Leh where we hired bikes. The 15kg weight limit meant we wore our boots and jacket on the plane. Got to ride the 12 highest roads in the world. Air is thin at 5900m. Often chaotic traffic but friendly people.
Great job on the episode
Thanks!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely amazing and a massive achievement, well done guys 👏👏
Thanks!
Properly epic vid man!❤
All around great stuff
Thanks!
I could have watched 3 hour long episodes of this.
🙏
Well that does it, India is now on my ride list. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great video mate, been a subscriber for a good while, always enjoy your content weather it be, teaching us stuff or sharing your rides with us. You so deserve more subscribers! Come on fellow bikers.
That was a joy to watch. Love your Videos. Great that you did it with your best friends.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the film! One of my favorites recently
Thanks man!
Lads this was really quite excellent. Please do more! (Maybe a 'long way down'?)
Looks like an awesome adventure. Certainly one to go on my bucket list!
Another great video! Always a joy to watch and lure! Just a question. Wasn’t a better option to take to the trip the leatt 7,5 airflow garment instead of the multitour? It looked so hot!
Yes. That was a mistake on our part as the weather was vastly different to what was predicted 😂
Great storytelling skills mate. Congrats for the adventure!
Thanks a ton!
Wao, what a production, that was amazing!
Wow, awesome adventure, beautiful scenery, a real test of man and machine, and good job Joe for doing it with so little experience!
