Ha ha.. its better if your bikes doesn't know, you should at least know.. And mind you I said FLAT TYRE not Tube.. which is not alien word give the terrain!

You may not plan to ride after 19:30, but what if you are forced to do... you just can't stop in middle of no where!

@deadly biker
My regards to your gutts,skill and attitude.
Though i am not much into touring yet, i know what it takes. Riding with a pillion to leh in 1 half day is difficult but not impossible.
But one suggestion- I don't think its a good idea to look for a pillion to leh on net. Don't take a pillion unless you know his ballz and butt personally. I mean if the pillion doesn have the gutts and the stamina but started with you out of enthusiasim, half way through you will be in trouble and the whole roadtrip is screwed.

....ALL THE BEST
