Thanks Pankaj! (PS: been reading your log but never commented on that thread for the simple reason that I had subcribed to it and read a daily update
) then a nice lil photo review on the motoroid magazine acts as a nice refresh to it!

And the 'actual' journey will start once you leave manali & the bikes has to be perfect until then.
Small suggestion : Chandigarh - Manali will take entire day & you may even have to ride in dark. Once you leave chandigarh, more of mountains will start & you will have to keep on taking spins after spins. If possible you can think of staying in Mandi & then next day proceed to Manali. This way you can reach manali by afternoon & you will have time to roam around a bit & even buy some stuff including petrol cans & petrol. Next day early morning you can head for the himalayas.

+1 for the chandigarh bit, that will also mean that we can cover golden temple enroute!

As a solo rider, I had done 1048 kms in 14 hrs flat & roads were badder then on this 8/6 lane GQ stretch.
Rest of the plan will be improvised if need may arise, on time. 
Anyways thanks for your valuable suggestions
Pankaj & nndp, see you there at Leh if possible

Mumbai to Udaipur
AFAIK is about 780-820 KMs... I agree with Pankaj on this one... riding with a backpack, and riding loaded with luggage is different!
Leh is not speedrun but more of a test of the endurance! I think we should think about the practical aspect about it.
PS: Done Udaipur to Mumbai (11AM to 11PM) with Anup, and with luggage... so its not impossible, but its nasty in heat!

I am going to be riding a stock RTR which will be launched in the coming weeks and the ride for me will be sponsored by TVS!
ofcourse I am kidding, I am riding my RTR which has some mods on it, more about what all it has will be up on my blog when I get time for it!
PS: There might be a good\bad news about the ride.... My new 'employer' is against me riding... they are one of those paranoid ones who provide company vehicle even for private parties etc!
I am riding for sure, when can be an issue....
