Default Mumbai to Leh (August) - Any takers?

I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I couldnt think of anywhere else. I didnt post this in the Leh' 2009 thread because it would get lost somewhere...

So I am planning of riding from Mumbai to Leh in August and a couple of friends would join in from Delhi. I was planning of doing it solo, but I dont I have the guts to do that - since I got my first bike 15 days ago and I am not a seasoned rider.

I hope there would some guys who would be interested. A confirmed answer would be good rather than "maybe" or "depends", so that I can plan accordingly.. Thanks

My experience is completely different. On both my leh attempts I found pulsar to be performing very badly. So much so that on first trip the 150 dtsi absolutely gave up and we had to send pillion to leh on a truck.
My unicorn too had power loss but easily took a pillion to leh.
Second time I had K&N in it with a stock jet and it ran beautifully. Took rider and pillion both above 70kgs plus loads of luggage easily and also outgunned a superbly maintained and jetted for hills bullet standard with lighter rider/pillion on moor plains. Almost touched 100 there.

If your bike is jetted rich on plains especially in the initail (pilots + airscrew) and midrange (mainjet?? or is it needle position?) than it will perform poorly on higher altitude. A lean bike on plains performs great in hills.

If you planning to go in big group Than YHAI (youth hostels ) are also planning in august.details are on their website and on this thread too.
else if you dont want junta than try not too clash dates with Yhai as there will be 100 riders on the same route wcich will spoil the fun.
I am interested seriously and looking at possible dates of july-Aug.
