I truly believe this thread belongs in the Best Travel Blogger Contest section rather than ANYWHERE else. Kudos Kurt!

Thank You Aryan! The actual ride was planned till Harsil but was cut short due to the road being blocked by snow. And I'd be honored if you put it in the best blogger contest

It must have been a tough time to ride on those muddy roads (as per the snaps). Thoroughly enjoyed them after a hard days work.

Here i take a bow Brother. Simply superb.

Thank you friend. It is the appreciation of you folks that keeps me going, and inspires me to do more!

GOOD stuff man, Kurt. It would be an honor to be able to ride with you someday soon.

Yes Aryan, infact I too would be honored to ride with you some day. In good time my friend, in good time.

Really good to see snow. These touring logs and pics are the perfect ingredient to ignite the fire to go out and hit the road.

Thanks Sherry, and I would love to see the road through your eyes

Thanks for the appreciation Sunny. Perhaps the reason why I mentioned that fact was, at most if not at all times, I tend to be focussed solely on riding. Photos tend to fit in the little void left. I am trying to improve, lets see where I end up in the 'clicking' department, with my punny little P&S

Glad to know that chicane

Well, there were no glitches as such. The bikes fared just fine. Though I did feel a little underpowered especially when the 220 used to zoom pass me going up hill

Hey Kurtles you did it again bro.. awesome stuff you have brought in for people like me who is always fond of snow & hills (natural beauties) but couldnt get a chance to hit the road & greet them with my bare eyes..

Hope to meet you someday in some valley

may be together .. only one thing to say to your deed.. "Dont fall in Love, ride with love" this is what u have done it on VD..

Guys from Delhi/NCR i guess its not the right place to put up but.. really can we plan a small trip to these places or similar to it

Hey Shelton... Thanx for appreciating the ride....

as far as P220 is concerned, she did just fine.... she has been up the hills before , and was smooth as always... be it off roading or curves or black ice... she handeled everything with grace....

You are an incurable addict Vaibhav...absolutely beyond redemption

.

Words like these below can only come thus...

'had a puncture and found a puncture-waala a few kms ahead'.
'Well the gods did not let me down. As soon as we reached Theog, It started snowing.'
'So there we were swaying to from one bank of the road to the other, saving ourselves from falling, the rear tyre having a gala time, and our boots covered in snow, kilometer after kilometer. Just heavenly!'

Black ice or pack ice..it is the same. Even engine braking deserts you. And those legs stuck out like out-riggers are more of a psychological help that anything real. Dig those heels into a little soft snow and you'd get some grip...but on hard frozen ice...you'd get split in two before the body rests

. Ever tried picking up a fully-laden and fallen bike on hard ice? But I guess you're crazy enough to find that 'fun'. I have suffered from such lunacy too.

Great log, beautiful pictures and a memorable experience. Just go on...
