  • Highest village in the world on scooters.

    Hello.

    I'm posting some photographs of me and my colleagues who rode to Kommic, the highest village in the world (according to the Indian authorities).

    This travelogue was featured in Overdrive magazine in 2008 and I'm posting photos for those who missed it.

        A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

            Interesting.
            Must have been a back breaking exp.

            I too have my 11 yr of Bajaj Classic SL scooter preserved for last 4 years in hope of getting it overhauled and doing something like this.

            God knows when
