    @sksy: Dude, i upload pictures from my phone to facebook on the move. Aryan just helps me replicate for real time updates, thought with all your tech savvyness you might have had it figured out.

    I am almost finished with day 1 photos. Visited a 6th century monastic settlement, it was beautiful.

    Will try and update day 1 blog in the next couple of hours.

      Sunny bhai good going and thanx for keeping us all updated.... just wondering does a normal international driving license does work or you have to have some special license to ride on these bikes abroad.... specially since the rules and everything would be new

        I was using an International License for Au and Nz. But for Ireland I am not. I only have my D/L. Since a company in Ireland has provided me with the bike and they did n ot ask for an INTL DL in the list of paperwork they wanted, I assume that for short term tourists you ar enot required to have any special paper except your home country's D/L which should be fairly enough old.

          Thank you for the prompt reply Sunny bhai...and yeah totally agree seeing your D/L and your experience of riding I think none of the company will ask for anything else... its very nice to see that XBHP sticker...in the coming years XBHP would be a Global Biking Community and we all would be attempting cross country rides rather than inter-state rides which we do.....and it would all be possible with the effort of whole of us as a single community...... which ofcourse was initiated by you...thanks again take care and ride safe.......waiting for your amazing pics and triplogue

              @sunny: I did check your pictures before they got posted here on FB. But hey, isn't this your site. I'd guess you'd put a few words here too.

              Glad you did. Now waiting for some more countryside pictures.

                After 4 years since being first registered each vehicle goes for NCT where it is checked for road worthines and then onwards a NCT disc also needs to be displayed
                Thanks for the clarification bro.

                  @sksy: jejus dude, you are getting old! I am trying to say i can only post photos directly to FaceBook using my mobile phone, and not xBhp because of technical limitations while I am on the road! If I have to post photos taken from my mobile to xBhp from my phone the I would have to take out my laptop in the middle of the road, connect my phone with a USB to the laptop, download the pictures and then upload them on xBhp and then FINALLY insert them into my reply here! Phew, wouldnt that be a lot easier if someone (read Aryan does it for me?).

                  And here is day 1 pictures from the DSLRs, hope you will clear me of the allegations now :
