Thread: A Thump addict gets Leh'd on a Ninja 250R in June'12

ummm... sorry to say but isn't it highly irresponsible for not preparing the bike before the trip & that too for LEH!?

Bring it on dude... you are making us wait too long.

Both for the ride as well as for the trip. I wanted to do the circuit on my ninja this year but have fractured my right hand and I am still thinking to do the circuit in late Aug. Do finish your blog by then.

Thanks buddy. But thats a bad news....fracture. Recover soon. Aug wouldn't be a nightmare, if you like mud & rains. BTW would love to ride along with you..

Friend, I had prepapred for all technical aspects, including a rear offroad tire. In my post earlier, better preparation i meant was for anti scratch remedies mainly...

Thanks again everyone.... In office after a long 22 days, will post next by evening at home.

Ye dil maange more!!!
Bring it on bro!!!

Another LEH TLog... Great
I have heard that such starts often make
the rest of the trip wondeful and you finish your
trip without any trouble (superstitions).
What's your experience ?

Waiting for the complete TLog mate.

Congrats on successfully taking your Ninja to the mountains! Really nice prelude and start to the log. I guess one way to look at the tough start you had, is that you use up your "quota" of "bad luck" for the trip on the first few days itself, so that the actual ride in the mountains is a breeezzeee....

Bring it on!

How did the Ninja behave? Did you change the tire to fit the terrain? Riding in Ladakh, especially Nubra valley on Ninja must be a special experience

congrats on getting the ninja.
waiting for rest of the triplog. hope there's more drama

It is a great way of looking at things.....my trip as a whole was a life time experience, i went through a worse & mean moment to this, further in my trip..will share..

Yeah i changed to a Ceat Vertigo 120/80 rear (to my belief...didnt notice it much somehow)

Only Rohtang needed it, rest all could have done better without it for Ninja particularly.

Yesterday evening, few friends caught me up for a treat, hence whole time got spent by, chatting about the trip.... Could not write more of my log. Will do today.

regards

Bring it On Awesome Start ...

Cheers
