    I wish all my luck and wishes to both the rider and pillion(if you find any). Even if you plan to complete the mammoth distance in such a short time interval, I suppose you(or atleast the pillion) will take a good amount of time recovering from stress.And considering the pillion seat of the p220 , the pillion has to surely have an Iron Butt.

    Ride safe brother.

        BTW, have you done leh before?

        If you have than i would'nt comment else all I would say is, it will take 32-35 hours of real good hard core riding from Agra to get to Leh via Manali, even if you have the fastest bike on the planet, as plain fast no good here my friend.

        Have fun!

        I think so your query is already answered.As far as question concerned about having the fastest bike on the planet,I dont have it right now but will definitely have it one day.
        Though my bikes are not as plane fast but know what...with my bikes I'm the second most fastest means of transport in India after AIRPLANES

        And proved myself on the routes of Delhi~Mumbai,Delhi~Amritsar,Agra~Hyderabad,Agra~Aj mer,Agra~Delhi,Agra~Kanpur,Agra~Manali,
        the list is quite long will tell you someday when I'll finish counting

        You answered yourself.And I dont care for any obstacle,I take stop only in some particular situations either the route ends or the bike

        You say half a day to get to Leh from Agra! That is like 1500 kms in half a day from Agra!!! Inform the Limca Records people before you leave.

        As for the pillion sharing the cost to go to Leh, I would not go even if you pay me!
        The pillion must not be deadly untill he shares the expenses
        Btw doing these types of childish activity can be a record can you tell me how to contact the limca records people

        Dude... I dont do calculations,I just Ride and rest of calculation is done by others who came to know about my ride
        I'm not attempting any records but whenever I ride my P~220 record attempts itself

        And now i come to know its you.


        A simple suggestion: I know your conditions back at home, save up some more money and then go, dont lurk around for pillion.

        Have a solo ride, else try finding another partner who is on another bike... I bet you wont regret...



        @all: The deadly rider here is the passion hunt winner at delhi city event.
        Hey Kriss You know I only have ideas but it becomes Crazy Ideas for others

        Yaar,actually some of mine bullet friends gone to the leh trip 3 days ago and they all were insisting me very much to go with them,as they feel support because of me,
        I dont know how
        moreover they want to enjoy my typical language,you know it well

        As the trip is of 15 days which includes Kaza,Leh,Kashmir,etc. so I was unable to go just because I wasted a lot of time in the past event(family's thinking) and I am short of funds too,as I told you or not I am saving up for a new bullet 500 LB and in october planning to do a mini India trip on it which already includes Leh & Kashmir too.
        So just now, I just want to go leh and give surprise to my friends and come back and will give surprise to my family

        Arey Ken bhai,Kyon logo ko dara rahe hai aap,atleast meri trip to ho jane do
        I promise main pillion ko vaapas le aunga
        WO BHI ZINDA

        @Aryan: Na......Raid is much different,this is just a time pass
        I'll enjoy the ride in my mini India trip in october.
        About pics we can click it any time whenever mood is on,after all Leh is in India only going nowhere

        Then I even dont need a pillion

            Excusez moi!!

            Let me put it in reverse. Its not a Pillion but a bakra.

            You intend to rip the hell out on a route which is quite frankly in bad condition (its not tough - just bad roads - ALL of which takes its toll on the pillion).

            You want someone not out of friendship or anything else but to use them for cost sharing. I share Aryan's concern - You don't even care about who the other person is, as long as he is paying!!

            Best of luck finding a bakra to dance to your tune. I personally hope you find none.

            PS: Speed, youth and fitness are one thing. Respecting nature is another. Below is an example of plain bad luck and the forces of nature:

            PPS: Sorry for the tonality above but threads like this appall me somewhere deep down!

              Mr.Hitanshu,in the begining of the thread only,I wrote it 'frankly speaking........' ;you can read it,if you have not.
              Plus I heard that there are lot of guys in our xbhp,who want to do this type of funny adventure but are unable to do it just because lack of experience,not having proper bike, limited funds,etc.
              Thats why I tried here.
              Now whatever you say bakra or bakri I dont care.
              I cleared myself in the very first post of this thread.

              People who know me personally,knows that I am a freaky guy who speaks on the face,whatever is in my mind or heart.I dont care of any one(may be he is a big shot) because I know I am true and not making any false statement.
              As far as about friendship,I personally believe that a person can become more good friend on going on a ride instead of chit-chatting on internet.

              And about your tonality,its totally your view,whatever you felt you typed down and whatever I felt I typed up^
              Who am I

                  I feel, the pillion will be the sufferer. You should prepare well for such a ride and should not be in a hurry.

                    @Abhishek... take some funds out of your bullet piggy bank :P and enjoy the ride alone hehe.. i know this ride will be full of butt adventure.. but sure like 99% you won't find such pillion here..

                      Dear Ken, You pay me 20k for the 1 and a half day trip to Leh...my answer would still be NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
                      some dame pays me 200 rs to be her pillion for 200days....am Games for it....

                      cant use all that language but refining it to the max I would say..."if I have to get myself slaughtered, I would prefer a Beauty doing the butchering act than to blame Money for it"

                      @ Hitanshu: Bhai, totally agree with youwith what ever you say about HE or SHE GOAT
                      @ deadly Biker...Bhai, am not underestimating your stamina, your skills, your Bike, Your experience, your RAYBANs, I know Bikers do crazy things but dont you think it is just a bit of too much of UNcalculated risk that one would be taking in going to Leh in a Day and a half.
                      My last trip taught me one good thing, trust your senses but take care to hear what few others have to say, they all are not your enemies. On our way back from Leh last year, we reached Dras at 2130 hrs. The locals warned us not to go further but we did not listen to them and proceeded ahead only to have the Fu%#!ngly freaking time. had to spend three hours in a small tent, with tep. running subzero, Dogs barking unrelentingly and we sipping Neat Rum to keep our self warm.
                      Baki tum khud bahut samajhdaar ho! But I would still not go if Ken gives me 20k.

                        Apart from the treacherous route, I would like to add one more aspect - the emotional stress!

                        Laddhak, is not just not another destination. I recall, during my last trip, along with us, one of the guy on his Avenger 200, from Delhi had come all by himself with his friend.

                        Though they were close friends, the fact that the pillion had to get up frequently, because the bike would get stuck here and there. And Finally, because of the terrible back pain, the pillion had to take lift from one of the 4-wheelers on road and leave the bike.

                        It's not easy to be calm, if god-forbids you are stuck up with a flat tyre, at 21:00 Hrs, in middle of no where, temperature dipping below -8!

                              @All: I feel that I made a mistake by putting such type of thread here,as I was expecting a bit more from our family and was seeking for a hardcore like me(may be more than me because he had to play the role of pillion) who loves some funny but real adventure.So I apologize.

                              People who know me dont use this type of words for me because they know if I have a tankfull bike then I can be found any where in India.Thats why my father always feel suspicious whenever I fill up the tank of any of my bike
                              He is the only father in this world who feels happy by seeing his kid's steed's fuel knob in reserve position but is always confused whenever he pass by my P~220.No fuel knob you see

                              People generally say they can't see me,
                              just because I am too FAST.
                              But I never rode fast,I was always normal
                              and this makes me FURIOUS.

                              FAST n FURIOUS

                                Bhai flat tyre to 220 ka bhi hota hai. i did not know if they are running on some kinda real runflat technology

                                but to be true i would really like to see a ride with a pillion to LEH on a bike like pulsar. be it in a day two days or what ever that would help me decide my plans for my next leh trip with wifey
