          ya.........well............that was way back in 2001, and actually gearless scooter are quite easy to ride on extra long tours because you just have to hold the throttle, without worrying about gearshifts.

          well, for now don't want to highjack this thread and waiting for more pics...

                    Almost zero experience in long riding.
                    No riding gear.
                    An 11 eleven years old scooter fit only to be scrapped.
                    Out of three tyres,two are near bald.
                    I had a fall then had a second fall.
                    Got stalled in the middle of water crossing with shoes submerged in chilly water.
                    Had a puncture.
                    Had to drive in night to find a hotel.
                    And guys it was still winter out there.
                    Butts kept burning all the time.
                    But I finally made it.

                          Day3 Tapri to Nako 25 march 2011


                          Puncture at Pooh has eaten into valuable time and I am now actually entering into the barrend topography of Spiti.
                          Deep canyon,bare grey mountains,long deserted passage,chilly wind drying my skin.
                          Overall maza aa raha tha.
                          Then came a sign board announcing Namgia.A 'y'fork it is.If i go straight it is Nako,if I take right it is Namgia,Khab,Dogri village and finally Shipki La end of Hindustan-Tibet road.
                          I am all alone,no other creature for miles..An old vehicle.Herat pounding with anxiety.
                          Lets take right detour.You dont come here often.
                          Y fork for Shipki La.Right goes to Tibet 30 kms away



                          I went to Khab village through this gate.Met two local mother-daughter there.Village was almost devoid of residents.




                          Me going towards Shipki la.I am very terrified at this moment.All alone for miles and a very sensitive border.





                          Closely see,a green roof at top of the pic is Khab village
