Leh-Ladakh was on the cards this June, now seems to be impossible . I have read Sept-mid Oct is also a good time to be there. Need inputs for this or shall we postpone it till next year? Won't be able to wait till next year. Expert opinion required from the experienced/ senior riders.

EDIT: Also need suggestions/ links for good riding shoes.
Freak, thats bad. Hows the bike now?? what happend exactly, i heard Sanjay also had a fall last week there...
Guys gears are a must

Try out cramster shoes or even AXO Primato are good...

I wouldnt advise you the Army shoes because they are bit soft near the ankle area which i doubt will provide protection but yes you can count them for touring purposes...

Injury degree: You got to see the x-ray!! The bitter part of biking.

His parents are out of station, gonna return on Saturday. Didn't inform them coz they will panic there. His younger brother and we friends are taking care of him. I guess he'll be discharged by Friday evening. You can certainly come and meet him before Saturday, uske baad to main bhi gayab.

He's a tough guy, recovering fast. Gonna carry a plastered leg for next one month. Everything's fine. No need to worry. Bus lamba-chawda bill fata hai, but thanks to his company's mediclaim/cashless policy, everything's covered.
